TIIE TIDE WESTWARD. ' From the A'. V. Timet. When the student of history reads of the immigration of the Northern barbarians over the lloinan empire, of the stream of tne Goths pouring frdm Scamdinavia and North ern Germany into Southern Enrope, or of the Vandals into Spain or Africa, he fanoiei that there must hare been a morement of peoples then to which modern times afford no parallel. But, precisely as in geology we can hardly imagine that mountains of chalk are being formed now at the bottom of the ooean, and whole races of beings perishing, end land sinking and seas rising, just as, and no less than, they did in ancient fessil periods so we did not perceive that ancient history renews itself in the nineteenth century. The "people s wanderings," as the Germans call them, are nearly ai remarkable now as they were five hundred years after Christ. A steady stream of "Northern barbarians" pours upon our coast an immigration like that in the time of the lloman Empire with this difference, that it is well organized, and pro daces the most beneficial results. The descendants of the ancient Goths and Gauls, and what not,are invading our borders as their fathers did those of the Ore jars. Into the blood of the conquering race of this country they are infusing their new element f power, as their ancestors did into that of a more degenerate stock. Three hundred and fifty thousand of these vigorous "barbarians" will probably this year come into our ports and soatter themselves over our territory; the Celts, like their fathers, sticking to the large towns, and the Germans going to the farms. But besides this vaat movement of foreign ers to our coasts, a continual and unseen stream of population is courting from the older States to the new. It is said that no experience of emigration in this country has ever been paralleled by that of Kansas during this season. Those who remember, a few years since, the pathetic appeals for "bleed ing Kansas," and the cry through the North ern States for aid to the impoverished settlers who were nearly starving, can hardly imagine that the El Dorado of the West is that once much-abused State. Ia fact, no gold mine ever drew such a throng of industrious labor ers as do the cheap, uncultivated fields of Kansas and the available border States. So great is the throng that people have been obliged to live in tents, and every line leading to the region has been crowded with passengers and crammed with freight. The peculiar advantage of Kansas, which, is thus attracting immigrants, is that she is almost the only State left where Government land can be bought, with good soil and nearness to market. Excellent land an even now be purchased from the Govern ment, along railways, at $2TO per acre, and at $1-25 in the interior. The railroad com panies sell at $3. The country is remarkably clear, the soil good, transportation easy, a yariety of fruits grow, and the winters are milder than in the Northwest. The drawback to be apprehended is drouth, but the con struction of railroads and planting of trees seem to be changing the hydrometrio balance of the atmosphere, and occasioning much more moisture. The sociatv in KnHna to the character of its first settlers, is far superior to that of most border States. A considerable portion, however, of this incessant Western stream of population eddies aside into Missouri. Here, in the northern portion, are excellent lands, proba bly as high as $10 or $15 an aore, but with great capaciti a io markets, In the middle and southern portion or ins state are Tery cheap lands, but with poorer soil and more adapted to vine-growing. Good vine lands within sixty miles of St. Leuis can be got from $2-50 to $5 an acre; but the objec tions throughout the State are the ignorance .and inertia of society, the results of Blavery. A distinct branch of tne great stream always flows towards the Northwest, and fertilizes, those new States. The amazing Srogrees of . Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin uring the last decade is due to this immi gration, a valuable portion of whiott comes from the ancient "hive of nations," Scandi navia. The cool bracing climate attracts the North Europeans. With population and wheat-growing come railroads, and that region is attaining wonderful prosperity. Still, land is usually held somewhat high for an emigrant, unless it be very inac cessible. The wiaters also are cold and long, and fruits do not flourish so well as fur ther South. The central West, too, continu ally feeds the side currents of this river of immigration. The restless Yankee, having made the prairie golden with crops, becomes tired of civilization, sells his farm to the new-comer, and moves on to struggle with the wilderness. 8o land changes hands con tinually, and the van of the army of foreipa settlers takes the places of the rear of the old army of pioneers, who are marchin for ward. Not as many of the waves of the westward tide touch our Paciflo coast as might be desired. Possibly the news of the drouth of this year in California has deterred the immigrants, as well as the overcrowding of useless hands ia San Franoisco. There is till, however, a boundless field open on that coast for farm labor, and If our Paciflo Mail Company took the matter in hand vigorously, they might lead thither a vast amount of profitable immigration. MATRIMONIAL MURDER. From the X. r. World. It shall go hard but that somebody will better the instruetipn meted out to husbands and wives by the trials and triumphs of Mr. McFarland. Indeed, we already observe dis- cAw6n of progress towards a higher plane of the great truth enunciated by certain reverend commentators on this man's revolU "split the tree of marriage is a f'right royal" TindieaUonof the will of God. McFarland merely murdered the individual by whom, as he believed or professed to believe, his wife had either been induced to split the marriage tree or dissuaded from tying it up again. A gentleman by the name of Boardwell, from few imJ, ?n Wednesday did more and better than this. He aimed directly at the Uterrima causa herself of his domestlo dis oomfort, and calmly shot the unworthy woman who, after taking him "for better for worser," had found him all worser and BO better than she expected, and bo had departed from his pleasing presence, it cer tainly does seem to be a little hard that women must make np their minds to elect between being slowly kicked to death by a brute ia his own bouse, and being instantaneously hot by him in some other person's house. But we really see no help for it, if we are to obey the "right royal" doctrine of our day and generation on the subject of "splitting the tree of marriage." For you will observe that thia doctrine attaches the doath penalty, not to the wrong inflicted or supposed to be inflicted on the split-off partner, but to the faot itself of the splitting. And it is there fore quite clear, we think, that a woman who leaves her husband, even to earn her own living honestly in a decent solitude and in "the sweat of her brow," must expect no more mercy than if sae nad run away with a clergyman or been run away with by a Casa nova. Ana aiter au, wuen one comes to think of it, what business have women to be women at all, if they can't put up with their destiny ? "You see," said the worried and worn-out Lord Mayor of London, during the Gordon no-Popery riots, to a Catholic gentleman who appealed to him for protec tion "You see, it is all vour own fault. Why will you be a Catholio ? If you wouldn't do a uatnouc, people woman t want to mob you ana ourn your House. If women wouldn't be women, McFarlands and Board wells and other lords of the creation wouldn't want either to marry or to beat or to murder them. Just at this particular moment the burdon laid upon these hapless creatures is a trifle more severe perhaps then usual. The happy thought of one husband inspires others. A successful murderer may have his imitators, like a successful actor or a successful author. And we have already had as many as three cases of matrimonial murder, the patients in all being women, within the last week. Under the "tree-splitting' dis pensation, of course, some of the broken hearted and sensitive sufferers who have been stung into committing these murders will be mnisuea for tneni, and it is not wholly un ikely, therefore, that here and there a few we hope only a very few husbands of a vola tile turn of mind, tempted by this impunity, may be led into adopting so prompt and inex pensive a means of divorce. Should such things happen, the friends of the victim will do well to remember that no woman could expect to be really happy with a gentleman capable of murdering her out of caprice; so that, after all, the only choice for her being Deiwecn muraer at ms nanas or a protracted life by his Bide, the murder is probably the better fate of the two. Of the special assassin, Boardwell, it ap- Eears to be tolerably clear that he must have een moved to his act either by an overwhelm ing reverence of the "right royal" American doctrine concerning "tree-splitting" in the abstract, or by a savage glow of self-love and of tyrannous rage. His words and his demea nor at the time of and immediately after com mitting the deed were of such a nature that one would hardly hesitate, were it not for the newly revealed doctrine aforesaid, to pro nounce him an unredeemed and irredeemable scoundrel. But Bince his connubial tree had undoubtedly been split, and since it has been ordained by the enlightened publio opinion of America that every independent eitizan of the United States is just as free to shoot down in cold blood any one who splits his connubial tree or otherwise seriously disturbs his peace of mind as if he were a Bedouin dwelling in a tent of the desert, we suppose that it is proper to recognize and to honor Boardwell as an apostle and an avenger, rather than to string him incontinently up for a coward, a bully, and a brute. HOW MR. WILLIAM SIKES WENT MAD. From the A; Y. Tribune, There is a case not in any law book, but which Messrs. Spencer and Graham undoubt edly have heard of, whioh is bo pointedly illustrative of the great legal doctrine of mo mentary madne&s, or irresponsible frenzy, or by whatever name the great legal doctrine (it has many an alias) may be called, that we are surprised that Messrs. Spencer and Graham did not cite it during a late oyer of murder. We refer to the case of Mr. Bill Sikes, as set forth in the veracious chronicle of "Oliver Twist." Mr. Sikes, it will be remembered. rma m eioUro4 . poWing gentleman in Lon don, who lived by the appropriation of other people's property, and , who had a mistress named Nancy. This poor, gin-sodden woman, in a moment of pity for "Oliver,'! betrayed Mr. William Sikes, whioh fact was commu nicated to him by a great crony and com panion of his, an Israelite gentleman named Fagin. The moment he received this unplea sant information from the friendly Fagin, Mr. Sikes (whose tenderest sensibilities nad re ceived a sudden shook) "lost all control of himself," and the following colloquy ensued: "Let me out," said Sikes. "Don't speak to me: It's net safe. Let me out, I say." 'Hear me speak a word." rejoined the Jew. laving his hand upon the lock. "You won't be" "Well," leplied the other. "You won't be too violent, BUI?" whined the Jew. But when a man has "lost ail control of himself," it is of no use to try to stop him. Mr. Fagin, however, explained that he merely wished to caution Mr. Sikes against being "too violent for safety." With maniao stride, Mr. Sikes rushed to the residence of the de voted Nancy. That he must have been "in sane" is . evident from the following graphio description of his demeanor in the street: " "Without one pause, or moment's consideration; without once turning his head to the right or left, or rms'UK hie eyes to the sky. or lowering tbem to the ground, but looking straight before him with savage resolution; his teeth so tightly compressed that the trained jaw seemed starting through the skin ; the robber held on bis headlong course, mor muttered a word.aor relaxed a muscle until be reached his own door." It is reasonably to be deduced from this account that Mr. Sikes must have been as mad as his counsel could have desired, if haply Mr. Sikes had ever come to trial for the deed he was about to do. He was mounted so high upon his injuries; he had been so ill treated by the too voluble Nancy, that his brain must have been suffused, that clearly something must have been the matter with his heart or his bowels it was of no conse quence which. But evidently he was in a most convenient state of temporary halluci nation. This is further proved by his con duct on coming into the presence of the false Nancy. What he did to Nancy then and there will be indicated by just one more quotation: .."She staggered and fell, nearly blinded with the blood that rained down from a doeji gash In her fore head ; but raising herself wltn tllfflculty on her knees drew from her bosom a white handkerchief Kose Maylte's own and holding It up tn her folded hands as high towards heaven as her feeble strength would allow, breathed one prayer for mercy 10 her Maker "It was a ghastly figure to look upon. The raar derer, staggering backward to the wall, and shutting out the Bight with his baud, seized a heavy cluo and struck her down." Instances of instantaneous aberration have beoome so common in this country, and the aberrationists are so often finding them TeB n jidioial jeopardy, that we have cited this well-known case for their especial benefit, should they get themselves into trouble with the law, which hereafter isn't very probable. Mr. bikes hung himselt (by aocident) in try ing to escape from the police, and thus it happened that his case was never adjudicated in Court. WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND FREE LOVE. From the S. Y. Sun. It looks very much as if the leaders of the Women's Bights movement were commuting a fatal Llander. They are so conducting themselves as to produce the impression in the publio mind that their cause is insepara ble from that of infidelity and immorality, and are thus bringing upon it an odinm which does not justly belong to it and whioh they ought sedulously to avoid. We have already pointed out the mistaken interpretation which the sisters of the Soro sis, many of whom are prominent Women's Bights advocates, have put upon the result of the McFarland trial. They defend the truant wife and her paramour, and profess to believe that the jury, in acquitting MoFar land, meant to justify the ill-treatment of wives by husbands and to deny them all pro tection. The fact is, that what was really decided in the case was that a husband may shoot with impunity any man who comes between him and his wife, and alienates her from him. Had Mrs. McFarland left her home without aiiy love-making from Mr. Richardson, and waited till she was honestly divorced from her husband before she cultivated the devo tion of another man and engaged to marry him, she would have escaped censure. It was the indecent haste she displayed in endeavor ing to exchange one husband for another, whioh has caused her to be condemned by publio opinion; and the same indecency in applauding her conduct will bring a like con demnation upon the women of the Sorosis. But, as if this were not enough of a load for the Women's Rights party to carry, Mrs. Stanton, its most distinguished and able leader, also falls into the mistake ef making this same McFarland case the occasion of a still more decided assault upon the inviola bility of marriage. In her lecture to ladies only at Apollo Hall on Tuesday morning, she advocated a sweeping amendment to the divorce laws of this State, and in the course of her remarks used the following language: "Even these protracted divorce trials, with all their sickening details, are giving woman new cou mge to sunder the ties they loathe and abhor, and slowly but surely educating public sentiment to a true marriage relation." "I think divorce at the will of the parties Is not only right, but that It Is a sin against nature, the family, the State, for a man and woman ta live to gether in the marrlBge relation iu continual antago nism, indlirercnco, disgust." "The Protestant world have never regarded mar rlflge ns an indissoluble tie; therefore it is no great stretch of the civil and religious conscience of our rulers to multiply the causes for divorce with ad vancing civilization." We will not attempt here to combat the views which Mrs. Stanton so boldly avows. We wish merely to point out that if they are to be made an integral part of the women's rights platform, the whole movement is irre trievably lost. There is so much involved in the maintenance of the sanctity of the mar riage tie, that the doctrine of divorce at the will of the parties that is to say, of absolute and unrestricted free love must destroy any cause with whioh it may be identified, how ever true and good the intrinsic character of that cause may happen to be. TIIE THREE PROTIIONOTARIES. From the PMteburg Gazette. The period is at hand for the regular ap pointment of the prothonotaries of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. There are three of these officers, one for each district. The present incumbents are all Democrats, and all of them have been conspicuously sue-' cessful in rendering themselves obnoxious, for their political partisanship, to a majority of the people Indeed the" record in that regard of one of them, Snowden, at Phila delphia, has richly earned a publio censure not limited by the State boundaries. In this Western district, the officer has discharged his duties as competently as many Republi cans would have done, and not more SO. lie has held that lucrative post for at least nine years and, strange as it may seem, appears confident of still retaining it. But we think better of Mr. Keenan's good sense. He is himself too active, bitter, and shrewd a partisan not to understand that the people of the Commonwealth gave, last October, a very clear expression of their desire that the judi cial service should be in all particulars com mitted to Republican hands. We thus re formed the bench for the express purpose of redeeming our highest tribunal of justice from any shadow of suspicion of its continued prostitution to merely partizan influences. Moreover, the friends of the present incum bent must be aware that, in a political sense, he has succeeded in making himself pesu liarly unpopular with a majority of the bar and the people. Yet more, they, his friends, are all Democrats, and adhere to the Demo cratic dogma of rotation in office. ' We express, then, the unanimous senti ment of a majority of the people of the district, that it is time for him to retire. If . a Democrat must have it, let the Judges ap point Bome other man from that party; but if the recent votes of the majority of the peo-' pie of Pennsylvania ' mean anything at all, they signify clearly that this important offi cial trust should be confided to some officer in sympathy therewith. This is not at all a question to be gov erned by personal predilections. There are plenty of gentlemen who will equally well fill the post, and some of them may be Republi cans. We have no doubt, therefore, that our Supreme Bench, with which those appoint ments rest, will approach their obnoxious duty in the premises with a sense of all the responsibilities whioh a clear majority of the people have imposed upon their choice. And it is clear that this majority could never be reconciled to a reappointment of either Aiegars. iveenan or onowden. WHAT OUR NAVY IS AND WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE. From the A Y. Herald. The Secretary of the Navy in his annual report recommends, as a nucleus for a navy, forty iron-clads or monitors, for coast defense; ten first class armored vessels, for foreign service; ten first class wooden steamships, each of three thousand tons; twenty second class steam sloops, of two thousand tons each; twenty-five third class steam sloops, of one thousand tons, and fifty-five fourth class steam gunboats, averaging six hundred tons. This would make our effective navy one hun dred and sixty vessels. One hundred and twenty of these would be employed in foreign squadrons, one-half at a time, or an appropri ation could be made annually for sixty vessels of full fcteam and sail pewer, the vessels for harbor defense to be had up and carea for until they are wanted. This would not be a large navy for this country; on the contrary, it would be termed in England and Franoe a small one. Still, for want of a better, it would suffice in these times of heavy taxa tion, and it would enable the naval authorities to send respectable squadrons abroad, and with the energetio cruising done by our officers we could manage to have our flag shown in places where it has not been seen for many years. The current Navy Register presents an array of names of vessels, and to the unin itiated it would appear that we. had a suf ficient number of ships of war to meet the demands of our commerce. On close ex amination of the list, however, it will appear that many of the ponderous names borne on the register belong to vessels that can render no asbistance either in peace or war. There are at the present time forty-one woodon vessels in commission and four iron-clads, making an effective force afloat of forty-five vessels of all classes. In addition to these there are eleven vessels on the stocks that can be got ready in a year, seventeen steam vessels capable of being repaired, and four teen iron-dads that can be got ready for harbor defense in two weeks in all, eighty seven vessels that can be made effective in time of war, although even from this total should be deducted five sailing vessels. Of the remaining vessels borne ou the register ninety-eight are small tugs, fit only for dock Tard duty, vessels employed in the transpor tation of stores, hulks, receiving ships, school ships, practice-ships, and experimental ves sels which have been proved to be worthless. So we have nearly oile hundred vessels unfit for war purposes. This is an exhibit not gratifying to an American heart, and it is these defects in our naval organization that we wish to see remedied. It w ill require something of an outlay to bring the number of vessels up to the stand ard required by the Secretary of the Navy's report; but it must be remembered that this outlay will extend through several years four or five at least; and even then we cannot hope to have the whole number required, unless Congress appropriate from year to year the amount of money asked for. We would re commend that Congress begin the work at once, as it will take some time to collect the timber and shape the iron for our future war ships, so that at least a year will be lost in making preparations. We would also re commend that all the iron ships and all the engines be built by contract at some of the private machine shops in this country, and that outside shipbuilders be invited to offer plans for modelling and building some of the wooden steam vessels. This will inaugurate a zealous competition between our naval con structors and private shipbuilders. It will infuse new life intoour dockyards and machine shops, and it will relieve the publio mind, which will feel easy when Congress is seen taking some steps to place the navy in an effi cient condition. Now, what member of the Senate or House of Representatives will com mence this work by offering tho proper resolu tion? Who will take the opportunity that is offered to make himself a name with the American people ? IMMIGRATION AND ITS TENDENCIES. From the Baltimore Sun. The total number of emigrants who arrived at New York from Europe during last week wasJK)17. Of these no less than 2 t.2 came from North Germany. We have already no ticed the increasing number of arrivals at this port. It is stated that so alarmed has the German Government lately become at the possibility of having the rates of labor mate rially increased by this rapid diminution of the supply, that a bill will shortly be pre sented to the Chambers whose object is the restriction of emigration by the imposition of a heavy tax on every subject leaving the country. Such a measure is of course likely to have the opposite effect of that intended. There is a more immutable law than any which legislatures can enact, by which labor will seek the best market. The time when the working classes could be estimated simply as producing and consuming machines has passed, even in Europe. The great exodus going on to this country cannot be stopped. If brains, bone and muscle are positive wealth to a country, the rulers of the old world, when they look upon such number of sails in their harbors, spread to bear away their population, will have a literal illustration of riches takivg to themselves wings and flying away. Large as is the immigration now coming to the United States from both Germany and Ireland, it is not at all in at car nf f Va mand for labor. Yet it may be remarked that, although the South needs a large population, the tendency of immio-ratinn tnnmrAa tv West is almost as much without slavery as wim is. in a toiai immigration in 18C7 of 342.162. in 18(18 of 2H-18 in r 3i"i2,6(i!), the number of immigrants from A . II. . AM uv countries in me uia worm corresponding in climate with the Southern States was but 47,5.r4, and but very few of these settled in the South, while 30,000 Italians went to South America in the single year of 18G8. A few Swiss have settled in Tennessee, and a few Poles in Virginia, but nowhere has there been a successful and definite purpose of colonisa tion from Southern Europe to the United States. General Negley, in a very instructive and interesting speech last week in the House, showed that only 45C3 immigrants entered the South for the quarter ending December 31, 1SC9, while 76,1)38 came in the same time from Europe. - - The line of steamers . between this city and Bremen brings emigrants to a point at onoe convenient to the South and West, but the great bulk of them pass westward, only a small proportion of them remaining in our own State and city. Yet there is, perhaps, a greater demand for labor in the South than the West, the extinction of slavery having reduced the quantity of cotten, sagar, to bacco, and other productions. The politioal disorganization which the obstructionists of Congress seek to perpetuate in the Southern States, and the monstrous calumnies spread broadcast as to the insecurity of life and property, no doubt have their effeot in de terring emigration to the Seuth. Yet it is quite as mucn tne interest oi ptortnern com merce and manufactures as of Southern agriculture that the production of the staples peculiar to the South should be. increased, and this can only be done by an increase of labor. The tendency of the peouliar sort of labor at present in the South is to concentra tion more and more in the cotton and sugar regions, to be superseded in the more tem perate grain-growing sections, suoh as Mary, land, Virginia, Tennessee, and some portions of North Carolina, by white settlers both from Europe and the North. There are vast spaces yet to be filled and tilled in the States named; and the time may yet come when the herbage of the Western pastures will be browsed so close that the future flocks of emigrants will seek new pastures nearer the Atlaatio border. ...
