The Remedy for Political Inn
WASHINGTON, April 20.
The Democrats in Congress have just is
sued tho following address to the people of
the United States:
•• •- .
"Our presence and official duties at
Washington have enabled us to become
acquainted with the ac'iona 4nd designs of
those who control the Radtaal party. and
we feel called upon to utter a few words of '
warning against the alarming strides they
have made towards centralization of power
in the hands of Congress and the Execu
tive. The titne and attention of the Radical
leaders has been almost wholly directed to
devise such legislation, as will, in their
view, best preserve their ascendancy, and
no regard for the wise restraints imposed by
the Constitution, has checked their reckless
and desperate career. The President of
the United States has been formally an
nounced as a candidate her re-election. The
declarations of his set fish supporters have
been echoed by a subsidized press, and a
discipline of party has already made adhe
sion to his persbnal fortunes, the supreme
test of political fealty. The partisan legis
lation to Which we refer, was decreed and
shaped in secret caucus, where the extrem-
Oct cotinsels always dominate, and was
adopted by a subservient majority, if not
with the intent, certainly with the effect to
place in the hands of the President power
to command his own nomination, and to
employ the :Irony, navy and militia at his
sole discretion, as a means of subserving
his personal ambition. When the sad
experience of the last two years, so disap
pointing to the hopes ;Ind generous confi
dence 01 the Ciiiintry, is considered in con
nection with the violent utterances and
rash purposes or thh,,e, who control the
President's policy, it k not surprising that
the gravest apprehensions for the future
peace of the nation should be entertained.
At a time when labor is depressed, 111111

Report of the Boreal, of Stratistielr—lrbe
Value of liontlirraulto—lntornottion for
their Guidance Furuhthed by the lio•
reau•
:qr. Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics at Washington, has made a I
careful report to Secretary Boutwell, em
bracing all the facts attainable in regard to
emigrants and ifnmigration, which he pro
poses to have distributed extensively over
this country and Europe. After a rapid
review of immigration during the past 50
years, the report says: As regards nation- I
ality, more than one- halter those who have
thus far arrived in the United States are
British, and eOlllO from the King
dom, or from the British possessions of
North America. These speak our language, I
and a large 'mart are acquainted with our
laws and institutions. The German ele
ment comes next, and embraces near
ly two-thirds of the remainder; an
imidustrious and intelligent people, a large
proportion settling in rural districts, and,
developing the agricultural resources of
the West and South, while the rest, includ
ing many artisans and skilled workmen
rind pr.)litable employment in the cities,
and manufacturing towns. The influx ut
s,,h,hh.viae., who have already made ex
tensive settlement in the North-Western
Mates, constitutes a distinctive feature of
the ...vein, ma, and though but a few years
store it received its first impetus, is already
large mind rapidly increasing. They are
iud ustrimuts, emmonoin i cal, and temperate.
Asiatem immigration, whatever views may
be entertained of its Mauer'. upon our
industries and customs, has not yet reach
ed such propmrtions as to excite alarm in
the most apprehensive, and falls far short
of what has been represented, never hav
ing reached in any single year the number
of 15,1;00, thrni Mg only about 4 per cent. of
our total immigration. Sc, smolt a number
can easily be absorbed into our population
of 40,000,000 and no injury result, the
movement be ES/111111011 to rolunttrry immi
gration. A peculiarity of the Chinese im
migration is the small number of females,
not exceeding 7 per cent of the whole, a
fact which seems to preclude a large in-
Cre(l4o of the pure race.
The wide contrasts between skilled and
unskilled labor, between industry and
laziness, between economical habits mind
unthrift, indicates a marked variation in
the capital value of the immigrant to the
country. The unskilled laborers, who at
once engage in subduing the forests, or cul
tivating the prairies, arc of far more value
to the country than those who remain in
the large cities. Deducting the women
I and children, who pursue no occupation,
about .10 per Clint of the whole inanigra
tion have been trained to various pur
suits. Nearly half of these are skilled
laborers and workmen who have acquired
their trades tinder the rigorous system
which prevails in the alit World, and
ionic here to give orm the benefit of their
training and skill without repayment of the
cost. I/I such education. Nor ate the farm
laborers and servants destitute of the Ile,
,weary training to lit them for their several
duties, while those classed as eOllllllOll or
onsk Wed laborers are well qualified to per
form the labor required, especially in the
construction of works of internal improve
ment. Nearly ILI per cent. consist of !tier
chants 111141 traders, WISu doubtless bring
With them considerable capital as well as
mercantile experience, while the smaller
number of professional men and artists,
cw bracing architects, engineers, inventors,
men of th,,rough training and a high order
of talent, contribute to our widely ex
tended coin 'nullity not only material,
but artistic, :esthetic, intellectual, and
moral wealth. Will; regard to the
ages .. of these immigrants, only 2.5 per
cent. are under 15 years of age, and less
than 15 per cent. over 10, leaving upward of
Oct per Velar. who are in the prime of hrb at
the time of their arrival, ready to enter at
once into their several industrial pursuits.
As to the proportion which subsists be
tween the two sexes, it appears that, as
might have been expected, the number of
the males largely preponderates over the
females. 'Funs proportion varies with the
different nationalities, the females consti
tuting, as has been stated, with the Chinese,
only 7 per cent., w hile of the Irish it is over
45 per cent., and ortho who', number about
-10 per cent. ,
The wages of laborers and unskilled
workmen throughout the country average
very nearly $4OO each a year. Assuming . '
that the families of these men consist mil . I
lour persons, we have $lOO as the amount
each indiVid unl produces, and to
aiso he is restricted in consumption.
The estimated yearly expenditures of the
family of at laborer, consisting of two adults
and two small children, is IN follows: For
tea, coffee, sugar, and other foreign goods,
which pay a duty of about tie per cent. to
the vern en t, soe; flour, meat, and but
ter, about $15o; rent, $5O; fuel and light,
Sao; vegetables, f;150; milk, eggs, ma;c,, $2O;
leaving slio for clothing, housekeeping
goods, Ac. As most of the ex penditures are
for articles of domestic product, which pay
a succession of profits to the retailer, the
wholesale dealer, the producer, and to the
transporter, the sum of these net profits
constantes the aggregate amount which
this family contributes to the wealth of the
country.
The sum of :3..000 seems to be the full aver
age capital value of each immigrant. At
this rate those who landed upon our shores
during the yearjust closed, added upwards
of $2.9.1,000,000 to our national wealth, while
during the last half-century the increment
from this source exceeds trtml,2-13,000,500. It
is impossible to make an intelligent esti
mate of the value to the country of those
foreign-born citizens who brought their
educated minds, their cultivated tastes,
their skill in the arts, and their inventive
genius. In the year 1030 there arrived at
the port of New York, in the steamship
British Queen, which sailed from the port
a London, a Swedish immigrant, better
known as Capt. John Ericsson. What was
his value to the country, as estimateml on
the ninth day of March, 1112? was it eight
hundred, eight hundred thousand, or eight
millions of dollars?
Two things' seem imperatively required
of the Ithvernment ; protection to emi
grants mid supplying them with trust
worthy information The discomfort, suf
fering, and immorality to which they are
exposed, make necessary either more
stringent enamannentkor a better enforce
ment of existing laws. With a view of
althrding to the immigrant such trust
worthy information in regard to the several
States as would guide him in making, an
intelligent choice of a home, the Bureau
prepared and forwarded to the Assessors
or Internal Revenue in all the States
\Vest and South of Pennsylvania cir
culars containing questions covering
every 'mint, of interest or advanta
ges to the settler. Replies have been
forwarded from all parts of the MO -
try, and properly classified in pain ph let
form for the use of the immigrant mir set
tler. This may be obtained on application
to the Bureau of Statistics, Washington.
This information, though not so full in re
' gard to some States and Territories as is de
sirable, may in general be received with
confidence. Table showing the wages paid
in time several States and sections fur factory,
mechanical, and farm labor, also the cost of
provisions, groceries, dry goods, and house
rent in the various manufimeturing districts
•
of the country, are also appended to the re
. port.
Suicide In the Loek•up
Ono of the most deliberate cases of sui
cide in the annals of police news, occurred
yesterday afternoon in the Allegheny-Wk—
up. The uu forte note victim was a man
muned Philip Stenemegal, by occupation a
carpet-weaver. He had been on a spree for
the past few weeks, and quarrelled with
his w fe. She made an information against
him yesterday morning, alleging that her
life had become insupportable owing to his
conduct, that he had beaten anti abused
her, and that she desired to get him sent
up for a little while, in the hope that it
might produce reformation. He was ar
rested and taken to the lock-up, and
sometime between ono and half-past one
o'clock yesterday he hanged himself with
his pocket-handkerchief, by putting it
around his neck and attaching it to the
door of his cell. He had the noose arranged
at such a height that he was obliged to
throw himself down in order to effect the
rash act, so that the process of squeezing
Jut life was by deliberate Choking, and not
hanging in the usual acceptation of the
term. His feet were on the ground, and be
was in such a position as to enable him to
retract at any moment that he felt the sui
cide process too severe, but it seems he was
bent on tarrying out his "not to be" pur
pose to the bitter end.
A verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts. The jury recommended
that a watch should always be kept on the
cells to prevent any similar occurrence,
oven if the force should have to be increased
for this purpose.
During a thunder-storm on Friday, a
flash or lightning exploded several
boxes of nitro-glycerine in the Hoosac
Tunnel, killing the superintendent ma
son, Wm. Dunn, T. W. Ryecroft and
Robert Roberts. Two other men were
injured.

In the U. S. Senate, the Conference re
port on the Ku Klux bill was adopted by
a vote of 32 to 16, Messrs. Fenton, Schurz

negative, was paired off. The bill as
agreed upon modifies the Sherman amend
ment by assessing damages for outrages
against offending individuals, making . the
county liable in case of their inability to
pay; continues the President's authority
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus until
the end of the neat session of Congress, and
leaves the administration of the test oath to
jurors at the discretion of the Courts. The

County Prison, John W. Mentzer, stew
ard, 96 ; Alms-House, John Brock, Stew

The buildings and ground are in good
condition, but we would recommend some
substantial repairs to the walls of the
County Prison and that portion of the ceil
ing of the third-story of the Alms-House,
not yet plastered, should be completed.
In the judgment of the Grand Inquest the
small building in the rear of the Court
House yard Is a nuisance and should be
abated, therefore they would recommend
the Commissioners 01 Lancaster county to
remove said building and widen the alley
or street In the rear of the Court House to
au feet, and also recommend the removal of
the small winding stairway and in its stead
furnish the rear end of the Court House
with a stairway properly lighted.
