The Bargain Consummated

Senator Christiancy has been oonfirmed by the Senate Minister to Peru Chandler will be elected by the legislature to succeed him. The fornier wil] regain his health of course, and the latter will resume his place in the Senatorial cirole. In retiring from the Senate Mr. Christiancy does so with the solemn fud patent to himself as well as to the people of Michigan, of betrayalf the men who elected him, expressly to orush the hopes of an unscrupulous politician. He now becomes a willing party to a bargain whereby Mr. Chandler again rises to the surface as leader of the Re publicans of this State. His triumph will be the more complete, it being nol ouly over the enemy, but over the recreant partisans who deserted the caucu nominee in 1875. Over seventy-five thousand immigrants arrived in New York last year Thia is a considerable increaee over any foriner year for a long period. Th causes of the increase are largely attributable, of couree, to the depressed condition of labor abroad, and in part algo to the severe measures of repression in Germany, which have given a fresh impulse to thedesire of Germán artisans and laborers to find a f ree home ekewhere The disparity between the Germán and Irish immigration has become more and more marked from year to year during the lastflve years and the excess of the Germán element in 1878 was nearly as two to one. The election of J. D. Walker as Senator from Arkansas turns out into the oold the last carpet-bagger but one in the United States Senate. Patterson Conover and Dorsey are succeeded by Hamptou, Cali and Walker. Only William Pitt Kellogg, who was never fairly elected, is left to uphold the "honor" oi carpetbagism. The millB of the gods griud exceedingly fine and not so verj slow either.
