KERB, of Allegheny town ship, represented this county at the meeting of the Independent State Com mittee in Philadelphia last Thursday. THS Wilkesbarre Record is the au thority for the following: "The Dem ocrats fear that Cooper will be able to Dnrcbaae moat of their party to vote for the Cameron ticket. What a scaly opinion Democratic authorities have of Democratic voters". THK action of the Independent Republican State Committee, at Phil adelphia last week, will be seen in another place. While nothing definite was agreed to in the way of accepting any of the propositions of the Regulars, yet it will be seen the door IB not en tirely closed to all hope of peace. The point of disagreement is on the ques tion of the withdrawal of both present State tickets, which the Independents insist upon as necessary to insure perfect and lasting harmony. Each set of present candidates have now placed themselves in the bands of their respective State Committees, from which souie plan of union may yet be suggested. We may have more to say on the subject in our next. A ci.ear possibility in postal legis lation is the reduction of fees for mon ey orders. This part of the business of the Post Office has been of great public service. Its conception was to a correct notion of what the functions of a Government should be, at least in one of its aspects; and its practical opei*atiou must have more than fulfilled the hopes of its originators. Thous ands of people who have no bank ac counts and no facilities for procuring or using checks, are enabled to safely send and receive money through this syßtem. Now that the' receipts of the Post Office Department are covering its expenditures, one of the best meth ods of taking advantage of this pros perity would be to extend the benefits of the money-order system by decreas ing Its charges. The result would be an enlargement of the business and a general accommodation for trade. There would be less money risked in letters, and hence less temptation to rob the mails. A GOOD RECOUD. Col. John M. Sullivan, late Collector of Internal Revenue for this district, has perhaps as good a record as an officer as any man could possibly have On the going out of office of these rev. enue collectors it is Customary with the department at Washington not to settle and ciose up the accounts of the retiring collectors for some months. But CoL&ullivan determined not to wait the usual routine of delay as to the closing of the books in his case. 80 within the last ten days he went to Washington, had his accouuts all gone over, certified to as correct, the books closed and a final discharge entered and handed him. During his term in the office be bad collected and paid over to the Government the large sum of eight million #, two hundred and eighty odd thouncfid doll art. His accounts squared at the department to a cent. MERCER COUNTY POLITICS. The Republican Committee of Mer. cer county held a meeting on Saturday last. AH in other counties, a content arose as to the organization of the Com rnittee and on a vote Beatty, ludcpend ent, wag elected chairman of the Com mittee oyer Haywood, Regular, by a vote of 21 to 17. A Dumber of resolu tions were offered, among them one endorsing the Regular State ticket The Chairman stated that he thought the present was not a time to pass resolutions endorsing any State ticket and the best thing would be to lay the resolutions on the table. A motion to that (fleet being made, they were laid on the tab'e by a vote of 27 to 11, after which the following was passed by a large majority: Resolved. That we, the members of the Republican County Committee, de plore any lack of harmony that may now exist in the party, and urge that continued efforts be made to wcure an honorable adjustment of all differences in the ranks. According to the report of the pro ceedings the Independents are open in sayiug that Mercer county has come out from under the Cameron yoke. Siuce writing tie above wo see tb«t the reports in the Pittsburgh papers conflict as to the proceedings of the Jferoer County Committee. INDEPENDENTS' REPLY. THEY STILL, DEW AMI* THAT HOTII TICKETS BE WITH DRAW*. The Question Xarrowed Down to Tbat Point and Leaves Souie Hope for Peaee yet. The State Committee, representing the Independent Republicans of this State, met in Philadelphia on last Thursday, July 27 ult., and after dis cussion the following reply was made to the communication of the Regulars REPLY OF FOUR OF THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES. JULY 22, 1882. HON. I. D. MCKEE, Chairman Inde pendent Republican State Commit- Referring to the communication now before your committee from the Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, of July 12, ad dressed to your chairman and the nominees of the Independent Republi can ticket, we beg leave to state that we joined in a letter to General Beaver and bis associates, which is herewith enclosed. In that communication we did and could, of course, speak only for ourselves, in the hope that our sugges tion, if it met the approval of the op posing candidates, would pavo the way to an honorable peace and conse quent success. Without discussion we declared that in our judgment their propositions as submitted would, if ac cepted, produce wider differences in stead of harmony, and assuming neith er to accept nor reject them suggested a precedent condition, which, we thought, would lead to a true unifica tion of the party, viz., the absolute re tirement of both tickets, which essen tial preliminary agreed to we would urge upon our constituents the selec tion of a new ticket by a convention composed of representative men, select ed bv the Republican voters them selves and apportioned on the Republi can vote. This preliminary step lay entirely in the power of the candidates themselves, and seemed to us honora ble, patriotic and urgeut, as giving a reasonable assurance of harmony likely to result in Buch uuity of our respective constituents as would secure the suc cess of the ticket so selected. To our minds their propositions would most certainly fail to accomplish that result, for the following among other reasons: Their candidates did not resign, nor did they place their resignations in the hands of their committee, but, on the contrary, authorized their committee to submit their candidacy and the can didacy of each of them to popular tests by primary election, a new con vention, or otherwise. SIMPLY A POLITICAL SCHEME. Their candidacy was the thine: sub mitted and very carefully guarded by the propositions of their committee: First, bv submitting the two tickets to a vote of the primaries; second, by providing for the right of their ticket to be so submitted iu whole or part ; third, by offering a choice of the first two methods as to candidates to be selected by primaries or by convention. The two papers completely supplement each other, and, it will be observed, are simple variations of tbe original and distinctive propositions of Mr. Cooper to submit the two tickets to popular tests, which has at no time re ceived serious consideration from any source. Whether seriously proposed may be judged by the concurrent decla ration of their leading candidate that it was a telling blow upon the enemy in the interest of peace, by which "his prospects" had been advanced. As a scheme to forward their candidacy such effect would be the natural hope from such a purpose. But such a prop osition misconceives the central pur pose of our organization, which is not a contest for personal ascendancy, but for the overthrow of boss rule and the uprooting of the spoils system. The two tickets are now submitted to the suffrages of the party under the statutes regulating elections by the people. That submission has already produced a degree of bitterness among the adherents of the respective tickets which will render complete unity a difficult and dvllcate undertaking; and it Beemed unquestionably plain that any proposition looking to the compe tition of those tickets could only result iu deepening, widening and in tensifying the divisions already ex isting. Independent action and opin ion have from the beginning gone be yond the acceptance or rejection of principles and methods to the selec tion of men whose lives and records illustrate their devotion to both. PRINCIPLES, NOT INDIVIDUALS. That opinion has strengthened dur ing the recent months, and the domi nant Independent Republican view un doubtedly is that principles and methods are meaningless except as the men who stand upon them embody in themselves all that the meth- odrt and principles assert. We note the strength and growth of guch opin ions as cheering proof of the elevation of "practical politics." To enter into a contest with any as candidates who publicly avow that "the civil service needs no reform" would be a surren der of your faith. Being deeply anxious, however, to accomplish what we believe to be the sincere desire of a large portion of the Earty, its union with honor, on the isis of Republican success, with Republican freedom, we made in caudor and good faith our proposal for a genuine and honorable agreement, as slated to the candidates of the op posing ticket. They have made no response to us and we are given to un derstand that they deeline all corres pondence with us upon the subject. TIIE OVt-KH STILL OPEN. Our letter to them we submit to you, desiring to state in no ambiguous terms that we still hold ourselves willing and desirous of joining them in urging a new convention on tbe basis of our proposal, believing that those suggestions, if faithfully accepted and carried out, would accord no less with high public obligation than with tbe plainest dictates of political prudence in tbe preseut redemption of the Republican party of Pennsylvania from the crying evils which for years have afflicted and imperiled it. And desiring to assert our individu al adherence to the principles adopted by Ibe Philadelphia Convention on the 24th of May, reaflirming our fidelity to the reforms contemplated by our or ganization and pledging ourselves to un tl ated effort to these ends, we here by, in order to relieve you from all ! em> arrassment in the premises and to I enable you to act freely and without Sip* KtitljM? CiiiMtt t JStiiUtt August 2» 1882» any element of restraint,jplace our res-. ignations entirely at your disposal. , Trusting to your wisdom and discre tion aud confiding fully in your deyo tion to your duty, your constituency and your cause, we have the honor to remain, Most respectfully yours, JOHN STEWART, GEORGE W. MERRICK., GEORGE JUNKIN, LEVI BIRD DUFF. THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. THOMAS V. COOPER, ESQ , Chairman Republican State Committee. LAM instructed to ad vise you that the Independent Repub lican State Committee have consider ed the four suggestions contained in the minutes of the proceedings of your Committee, forwarded to me by you on the 12th inst. I am directed to say that this Com mittee find that none of the four are methods by which a harmonious and an honorable unity of the Republi can voters of Pennsylvania could be obtained" All of them are inadequate to that end, for the reason that they afford no guarentee that, being accept ed, the principles upon which the Independent Republicans have taken their stand would be treated with re spect or put into action. All of them contain a probability that an attempt to unite the Republicans of the State by their means would either result in reviving and strengthening the political dictatorship which we con demn, or would permanently distract the Republican body and insure the future aud continued triumph of our common opponent, the Democratic party. Of the four suggestions, the first, second and fourth are so inadequate as to need no separate discussion; the third, which alone may demand at tention, has the fatal defect of not in cluding the withdrawal of that '•slated'' ticket which was made up many months ago, and long in ad vance of the Harrisburg Convention, to represent, and to maintain the very evils of control and abuses of meth od, to which we stand opposed. This proposition, like the others, supposing it to have been sincerely put forward, clearly shows that you misconceive the causes of the Independent Republican movement, as well as its uims and purposes, You assume that we de sire to measure the respective num bers of those who support the Harris burg ticket, and those who find their principles expressed by the Philadel phia Convention This is a complete and fatal misapprehension. We are organized to promote certain reforms, aud not to abandon them in pursuit of votes. Our object is the overthrow of the "boss Bystem" and the "spoils sys tem." In behalf of this we are willing and anxious to join hands with you, whenever it is assured that the union will be honestly and earnestly for that purpose. But we caunot make alii, ances or agree to compromises that on their face threaten the very object of the movement in which we have en gaged. Whether your ticket has the support of many or few, of a mujority or a minority of Republican voters, does not effect in the smallest degree the duty of every citizen to record himself against the abuses which it .epresents. Had the gentlemen who compose it been w illiog to withdraw themselves from the field, as they • were invited to join in doing, for the common good, by the Independent Republican candidates, this act would have encouraged the hope that a new convention, freely chosen by the people, and unbarrassed by the claims of existing candidates, might have brought forth the needed guarantee of party emancipation aud public re form. This service, however they have declined to render their party : they not only claim and receive your repeated assurances of suuport, biit they permit themselves to be put for. ward to secure the uso of the Inde pendent Republican votes, at the samfe time that they represent the "bossism," the "spoils" methods, and the "machine" management which we are determined no longer to tolerate. The manner in which their candidacy was decreed, the means employed to give it oonveulion formality, the obli gations which they inour by it, the political methods with which it Identi fies them, and the political and person al plans for which their official influ ence would be required, all join to make it the most imperative public duty not to give them support at this election under »ny circumstances. In closing this note, tho Committee must express its regret tha\ haviug considered it desirable to make over tures to the Independent Republicans, you should have so far misapprehend ed the facts of the situation. It is our desire to unite the Republican party on the sure ground of principle, in the confidence that we are thus serving it with the highest fidelity, and preserv ing for the future service of the Com monwealth that vitality of Republican ism which has made the party useful jp the past, and which alone confers upon it now the right of continued existence. The oqly method which promised this result io the approach ing election was that proposed by the Independent Republican candidates In their letter of July 13, 1882, which was positively rejected by your Com mittee. On behalf of the Independent Re publican State Committee of Pennsyl vania. I- P- MCKEE, Chairman. TUB EXECUTIVE SKSBIOM. The committee met again in execu tive session at a by the meeting. Mr. McKee remarked [ that as the campaign would not begin j very actively for some little time yet^ he would not announce the member ship of the Committee at once, but would make it known in a few days. Tbe members, he said, would be select ed entirely from the State Committee. An animated discussion was held over the powers of this -Campaign Com mittee, and whether it would be authorized to act upon any propositions which the Regulars might be inclined to make. The feel ing was strongly against any such delegation of the powers of the whole Committee, and it was urged that everything that favored of bossism should be avoided. John P. Albro, of Lackawanna, spoke iu favor of giv ihg the Committee power in the mat ter, but believed that the power should be limited, aod offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the chairman of the commit tee lie empowered to receive and answer all communications from the Regular Republican Committee, which may hereafter be made to the committee, such answers to follow out the obvious sentiinedts of this committee as ex pressed here to-day. George J McKelway thought that the resolution gave to much power, and moved It be laid on the table. His motion prevailed, and soon after the meeting adjourned. Charles S. Wolfe, who had promised to attend the meeting, but was preven ted, sent the following dispatch, which was received just after the close of the meeting. LEWISBURG, Pa., July 27 Hon. I. D. McKee, Philadelphia: Sorry 1 cannot be with you. Let there be no temporizing. The Regu lars have slammed the door shut in our faces. Do not knock for them to open it again. Yours for the war C. S. WOLFE. Miller Answers Bailer. To the Philadelphia Times.] WASHINGTON, July 25.—As was ex pected, when the House met to-day Representative Miller, of Pennsylva nia, secured recognition for a question of privilege growing out of the recent strictures upon him by Senator Butler, of South Carolina. He Bent to the Clerk's desk and had read a copy of the Congressional Record containing Mr. Butler's remarks, which had been placed prominently on the first page. When the Clerk concluded the reading of the clause in which Mr. Miller was characterized as "a yelping cur of low degree," the latter had just uttered the words: "Mr. Speaker, I desire"-~ when he was interrupted by Mi. Buck uer, of Missouri, who claimed he had not presented a question of privi lege. Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, took the same view of the subject and thought that a stop should be put to what he termed "personal wrangles." Mr. Miller did not relish this language, and lost his temper some what, claiming that other members of the House had been accorded the priv ilege which be sought and had been allowed to have newspaper clippings read. He further said that he demand ed to be beard on the question regard less of fear of any member either of the House or Senate. Mr. Reed, of Maine, came to the assistance of his Pennsylvania friend, and be|d that he was justified in giving his views in reply to what had been said by Sena tor Butler, whose language towards Mr. Miller had been Very offensive. After further remarks by Messrs. Kas sou and ijvins, tfce Speaker ruled that Miller could make an explanation, but would not be permitted to attack the Senator from South Carolina in his re marks. Mr. Miller then had his speech read, which provoked the reply from Senator Butler, together with certain documentary evidence relating to the Hamburg massacre. Included in this evidence was the report of the Coroner's inquest and newspaper comments by the Charleston .Afettfaand Courier and Georgia papers in regard to tho afiair. The statements were not at all pleas ant to the Democratic side and several attempts were made to rule them out as reflections on the Senator from South Carolina. Speaker Keifer, however, stood by Representative Miller and said that when he thought the pro ceedings were out of order he would rule so. At the conclusion of the i reading Mr. Miller said he would not make a word of comment on this ter fibje record of crime. Had not tho Senator from South Carolina charged him with garbling the evidence, per version and fabrication, he could not have been induced to unfold this story of wrong. The testimony which he had referred to was collated by a Senate committee composed of Senators Augljs Cameron, I. P. Christiancy and A. S. Merrimou, the same having been taken under a Senate resolution of December 5, 1876. To imitate Sen ator Butler's language would be dis tasteful to him, a breach of decorum of the House and an affront to the people, irrespective of party, of the district Which he represented. If such a civili sation did not exist in South Carolina to-day, he most siucerely regretted It. If it does, then he remanded the vapor ing Senator to it, trusting and believ ing that his remarks would receive the condemnation they merited from the descendants of a chivalrous ancestry, pot forgetful of Addison's truism than : "Title and ancestry render a good mau illustrious, but an ill one oontemptible." Mr. Evins, of South Carolina, re plied, defending the course of Senator Butler, and stating that at the time of the affair Hamburg was a veritable riot field ; that no laws were carried into effect to protect life, and that Mr. Butler had done all be could to prevent the massacre. He then had inserted as a part of hlB remarks Senator But ler's version of the massacre, and wound up by asserting that Senator Butler was too good and just to hunt down the cruel accusers who had so basely slandered him. No further pro ceedings were Instituted and the mat ter quietly subsided and business was resumed. Mr*. Uarlleld I* Very Well Oil".

Hoyt'» Organ.] Prior to 1874 Senator Cameron was a mere camp follower. He deserved and had no recognition among Re publican workers He had accumula ted immense wealth through the in fluence of his father. His ambition in this respect was satisfied, ne aspired to succeed his father in pol trial hon ors, and, not unlike many other sous, he thought himself smarter than his father, and determined to out-Herod him. Soley under the influence of his father he was made Secretary of War under Grant. No other claim was ever made for the appointment. It was simply a personal gift to Senator Simon Cameron. Hayes recognized no obligation or right to thus dispose of honorable public positions and refused to continue the favor. This stired the passionate blood of the spoiled Donald, aud he determined to prac tice the prominent trait in his charac ter—vengeance. He demanded that Simon should resign his seat in the Senate and have himself elected as his successor. Of course it was a simple steal, and the suggestion came as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder in a sultry summer day. It was the boss order and was formerly executed. Pennsylvania since then has been rep resented at Washington aud at home by this man uuder his own methods for no other purpose than complete Bubecrviency to his personal ambition. Grant was formally endorsed by the State Convention of 1880 against the expressed protest of Republican senti ment, because one man alone demand ed it. The convicted bribers of the State Legislature were pardoned be cause this same man demanded it. Davies was rejected last year because Prince Donald desired to knight a faithful subject. Every man on the Cameron ticket this year was written there in obedience to this same com mand. That the men happened to be of general good repute is an accident. As easily could the same authority have named any other men. Confirm such autocracy by repeated endorse ment under the plea of sticking to the ticket, and establish it as the necessary sequence of any nomination, and the last vestige of freedom is oblitera ted. After the best men are elected through these forms he—this political brigand Cameron—claims them as his servants, bound to execute his wishes and they frequently submit to bis insolence and dictation. Because Senator Mitchell dared, after repeated insult, to demand the respect due to disposition, Cameron and bis claquers cry out with one voice, "How cau he be so ungreatful ? Didn't Cameron make him ?" So he went to Governor Hoyt and demanded the previous pardou of Kemble. When Attorney General Palmer promptly declined to become a party to that iniquity, thej again Cameron introduced his bulldozing insult.- "Didn't I make both you and him." THE Senate on Monday, last week, passed the bill authorizing the Secre tary of tbe Treasury to pay the exec utor of the late John W. Forney nearly twenty-eight thousand dollars. This is to make good to bis estate the amount of money discovered as miss ing out of the Treasury when he was Secretary of the Senate. The respon sibility for this deficit belonged to his financial clerk. Forney was believed, after a full investigation, to be entirely innocent. The loss was made good by the Secretary and this sum is now to refunded to his heirs. TIIE Government, Friday last, made a strong point against Star route Brady. John A. Welsh, a contractor, was on the stand and testified to hav ing his route expedited from $74,000 to $135,975 —an increase of over SOO,- 000 each year. Brady deirauded twenty per cent hf the increase, say ing that was what he usually got. $3G,000 swag from one contractor on one route is pretty good Walsh de murred to paying it, but Brady show ed be had been lenient to him and re mitted fines amounting to $5,000 or SO,OOO aqd also p|uad that he had been aspsed SB,OOO for the Congressional corruption fund. As Brady's legal salary was only $3,500 the assessment of SB,OOO would seem a little high. The rate that year was three per cent., and this wonld show that the assessor rated Brady's salary at $200,007, which is pretty steep for an assistant post master general. The revelation of Welsh though is a good one in favor of justice, which it is to be hoped Brady will get. THK following letter, writen by Arulii Pasha to Mr. Gladstone just before the bombardment of Alexandria, shows the animus and intent of Egyp tian struggle with England. lleoeut developments indicate that the war will reuult in a contest between fanat ical Islam ism and English civilization —between the crescent and the cross. If the war ends in a fight simply be tween the present it will be well, {Jut prophecies of a general European war are ttiick. Russia, it is alleged, is not satisfied wiLh Eng land's course, and the same feeling is attributed to Germany. All Europe knows Ihe grasping ambition of Eng land and will watch her with a jealous eye. It now looks as if the whole Moslem power in Egypt was enlisted in the Btrugglo on the vide of Arabl aud that with the Koran as their au thority it will take England considera ble time, aud cost her considerable treasure and probably loss of life, to reduce them to subjection. A ra bi Pasha has been declared a reliol, yet the notables of Cairo have espoused his cause and enabled him to form a new ministry of war. "His policy is outlined in the following letter to the English Prime Minister: The Koran commands us to resist if war is waged against us, hence England may rust assured that the first gun she fiies in Egypt will absolve all Egyptians from all treaties. The Control will cease, the property of the Europeans will lie confiscated, the canals destroy, ed, and Jehad will be preached in Syria, Arabia aud India. The first blow with which England stiikeg Egypt will cause blood to flow in Asfa aud Africa, the responsibility for which will be on the head of England. Egypt is still ready to be fast friends with England and keep her road to India, but she must keep within the limits of her jurisdiction. Finally, England may rest assured we are de termined to die for our country." Daulel Webster's Advice. Other people may find the advice of Daniel Webster to bis grandson of value to themselves. He wrote it about four years before his death : "Two or three things I wish now to impress on your mind. First, you cannot learn without your own efforts. All the teachers in the world can never make a scholar of you if you do not apply yourself with all your might. In the second place, be of good char acter and good behavior—a boy of strict truth and honor and conscience in all things. Have but one rule, and let that be always to act right and fear nothing—but wrong doing. Finally, 'Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.' You are old enough to know that God has made you and given you a mind and faculties, and will surely call you to account. Honor and obey your parents, love your sister and brother, be gentle and kind to all, avoid peevishness and fretfulness, be patient and under restraint. Look for j ward constantly to your approaching manhood, and put off every day, more and more, all that is frivolous and childish." The Ruined City. Alexander the Great sought to found a city after the destruction of Tyre, and in 832 B. C. selected the site of Alexandria because of its excellent po sition for trade. It is twelve miles west of the western Nile and between the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Mare otis. The city grew rapidly, and soon became the great centre of Hiastern commerce. The Ptolemies succeeded Alexander, and under them the city contained 300,000 free inhabitants and as many slaves. It became the centre of learning, and schools of Grecian philosophy flourished there. Magnifi cent monuments were erected, among them the Pharos, the Museum, and the Temple of Serapis, and there were many gorgeous places and public buildings. Julias Csesar beseiged and took the city in 48 B. C. p and eighteen years later Augustus made it an imperial city, It now began a new season of prosperity, continuing till the establish ment of the seat of empire at Constan tinople. The catacombs, public baths, and Pompey's pillar, with the Roman city wall were erected during this period. In the year 215 the RomaD Emperor Caracaila visited the city and ordered a general massacre, and under the rule of Gallienus a famine swept off half of the population. In 273 an insurrection resulted in the destruction of the great library of the museum. In 296 another revolt ended in a gen eral slaughter, and ; n 365 an earth quake destroyed 50,000 persons. The Persians captured the city in 616, and yielded it to the Arabs 641. It then contained 400 palaces, 400 theatres. 4,000 public baths, and 12,000 gar dens. From this time on it rapidly decay ed, and its population and trade di minished. Cairo took its place as the chief city of Egypt. It finally sank so lewthat in 1777 its population was 0n1y6,000. Since then the city has bean rebuilt and raised to importance again. It resembled an Italian city and bad large streets, well paved and lighted with gas, and abounding with fine residences. The great promenade of the Mehemet Ali or Franks square, where the massacre of June 11 began, was the central point of the city. Rail-ways connected the city with Cairo 130 miles distant, and with the Suez Canal. The city was a great central station for passengers, as the steamers to and from India, the Medi terranean and the Levant all stop there. Among the prominent buildings were the palace of the Khedive at Ras-el Tin, the large naval arsenal, the naval and military hospitals, the Custom House, Tribunal of Commerce, Italian college, and the various schools. The Turkish quarter was irregular, but tbe European quarter had many good streets and fine buildings. The city has two harbors, one east and one west of Pharos. The former has a breakwater, mole and quays. The city was supplied with water from the Nile, and was the seat of several large Government and other manufactories. The principal exports were corn, cotton, wool, gum, rice, dates, sugar, cotton seed, wheat, beans, senna and hides. The principal Imports were woollep and silk goods, hardware and machin ery, with timber, coal, petroleum, drugs, and other products. In 1872 the population was 212,034, of whom 47,316 were foreigners. NAKItIKD. GOLD—FENNEL.—On July 2tith, 1882, by Kev. C. L. Streamer, Mr. H. 11.
