The Daily Review. JOSH. TV J AJ1ES, Editor & Prop. WILMINGTON. If. C. TUESDAY DECEMBER 30, 1879. .-, Entered at the 1'osToFFt ce at Wilmington. N. C, aj Second-Class Mattkb.1 ' VIEWS ANO HtVIKR S. An Emigration of farm laborers from Alsace-Lorraine to ihe United States has set In during the past few weeks , and the people of that German imperial province are very much excited over the proportions it v ill probably assume The Gothard Tunnel is now within leas than 100 metres' of completion ; but the difficulties encountered during the past two weeks, owing to a fault in the strata and an influx of water, will retard by a month the junction ot the two galleries; Prof. Nordenskjuld thinks that a voyage along the northern coait of Siberia, from .! the Atlantic to the Pacific, might often be made by a steamer specially fitted out, and manned, by An experienced crew, and that such a voyage would occupy only a few weeks. The Prince of Wales' income will prob ably be duuiuidbeJ some $100,000 a year by t lie hard times in England while they make Doditference to his mother, whose $5,000 a day pomes in quarterly ia hard cash. This does not include large reve nues from other sources. Cannes is now all the rage as ra win ter quarter and is lull to overflowing. tThe proximity jot Monte Carlo is ruining .Nice and Mcu tone for quiet, decent' peo ple, an these places are filled with all' the adventurers aud sharper of Europe, and the scum of its rascality; and about both, but especially at Nice, there is a nauseous rowdyism which vitiates the whole at mosphera., The European city which has made the g eatesi proportional progress ot late years is H u.over. Ia 1807, the population was 74,000 ; iu 1875, 107,000, or 44 per cent. i t increase. ' in the mean time, Berlin gained per cent.

That remaining stain of ancient barbarism has now been once " - ! for all removtd from the code of Japan, and it has at last been removed in the most formal manner. Tne fumes from the smelting of lead ore are now passed thro lgh a very long line of pipes and woollen bags, and con densed into lead again as steam is con vrted into water. The lead thus obtain ed is a powder of exceeding fineness, which milker an excellent blue paint. An iatei.se hat melts this powder, and by a similar process of catching the fumes, a whitti'powder is obtained, which makes a superior white paint. The Baltimore Swn of last Wednesday says the veuerable Dr. W. S. Plumsr was prostrated iu the pulpit of the Second 'Presby teriau Church, Sunday, whilst an nouncing the sacrament of the Lord s Supper- Medical assistance was prompt ly at hand, aud in less than a quarter of an hour the clergvman recovered con sciousnfls enough to explain that his faint ing gpell had been caused by over exer tion while preaching. When Thad Stevens was a young lawyer in the Pennsylvania courts he once lest Lis case by what he considered a wrong ruling of the Judge. Disgusted, he bauged his books on the table, picked ' up his tut aud started for the doer with some vigorous words in his mouth. The . ra Jude feeling that his diguity was as sailed, rose impressively and said, Mr. ttevcir Mr. titeveLS stopped, turned and bowed deferentially. 'Mr. Stevens,' aaid the Judge, 'do you intend by such conduct to express your contempt for this Court?' And Stevens, with mock serious boss, answered, 'Express' my contempt for this Court? No, sir! I was trying to i conceal it, your honor. One night, at the close of last month, 200 ex-convicts met at a mission chapel in a mean street of a low district in Lon don for the third annual supper of an association aevc ted tojthe aid of discharged prisoners. A member of this mission attends every morning at one ot the chief r city prisons and invites discharged pris oners to breakfast, after which the ques tioB of what can be done to help them is -considered. During the past year, 6,502 breakfasts have been given, 172 men were placed at work, 50 sent to sea, 18 to various "refuges," 45 had their rail road fare paid to their homes, 25 are in the borne of the association, and 13 have been expel'ed or have bteu absconded from it. Boston had a fearful fire on Sunday night and yesterday morning. It began in Rice, Kendall &Co'. paper warebouee, on Federal street, and very near the spot where the' disastrous fire of 1873 began. In this instance the fire began about midnight but was under control by 3 o'clock. That was a fearful disister which oc curred near Dundee, 8tland, on the long railroad bridge which spanned the Frith of Tay, on Sunday night The" full est particulars have not yet been received but the Iops of life bas.been fearful, some accounts placing it as low as seventy-five and others as high as twp hundred.

THE HERALD OS GOV. G A R"E LOX. We y'.eld much of our editorial space to-day to the publication of an admirable article on the situation in Jaine, the perusal of which we commend very earn estly to some of our Democratic exchanges. The Ilerdd, notwithstanding the fac t that it is variable and changeable in its politi cal moods, yet carries with it a weight and an influence in its editorial express ions that has nevsr yet been equaled. scarcely approached, by any paper pub lished on this side of the Atlantic, lor a calm, dispassionate view of the situa tion in Maine we commend the article re ferred to, which is as follows, and which we find as the editorial leader in last Sat urday's issue of that paper: The despatches from Maine which we print this morning supply a clear, intelli eibie and detailed statement of the rea- sons, or proiesseu reasons, wmuu guy erned the action of the State Canvassing Board in rejecting such a multitude ot re turns. . We iiave the formal report of the committee of the Council to which the re turns were referred for examination. It i is fair'that tbesS statements receive Buch attention as may be due to the omciai sources from which they come. To be sure they are exparte; but until their SDeeific allegations of facts are contra dicted in some authentic manner, or by some responsible persons, we are not at .1 1 I 'I'm. . liberty to impugn tneir creaiouity. xactb must be respected, no matter wnicn party they may neip or narm. unieos ine ue tailed official statements, now first pro mnlgated, can be successfully controvert ed the Governor and Couneil hive a very plausible, not to say a very strong, case. Of couree allowance must be made for the lact that these statements, though official, are ex parte; but, being official, they are entitled to credit until they are met and confuted by specific evidence. We ac cept them provisionally while awaiting authentic contradiction. If they shall be disproved by evidence they will recoil up on their authors, convicting them of wil ful falsification of facts in addition to the great crime of wilfully falsifying the elec tion returns of the State. But surely we are not to asaume that these official avu: ments are false in advance of credible evi dence to prove them bo. As yet they are uncontradicted. As yet they seem to bear on their face the impress of truth. As suming that they are true the case against the Governor has been greatly over stated. . i ... The repo t of the committee of the Council sets for the reasons foith the rejec tion of returns iu every instance in which such rejection affected the result. Each case must be judged on its separate rea sons. -It would be absurd to lump them ail into one mass and denounce them by wholesale because they happen to affect the election of so many members of the Legislature If case A is defensible, and case B is defensible, and case C is defen sible, and so on to the end of the alphan bet, the summation of the whole is de fensible. If thirty per cent, or sixty pe cent,' or ninety per cent of the decisions are justifiable, the actioriof the Govern or aud Council is justified to that extent. It is not a matter that can be judged en bloc without examination of the Separate instances. The Governor and Council claim- that their decisions on every local return were in strict pursuance of mandatory provis ions of law. They plead Buitorm pre cedents set by their . predecessors; they p'ead jadicial decisions by the higbe t otate tribunals; they plead the plain lai -guage of the constitution and s atutes in defence of their decision. Have they misrepreseated the precedenU ? Have tt ey misstated the adjudications of the courts? Have they made false or garbled quota tionafrom the statutes? If they have it can be shown, and tbey. will be covered with disgrace. But until it is shown the public outside of the State will suspend its judgment. If the Governor and Council have done nothing but what the law required them to do then the law alene is responsible for the unexpected results, i The idea has been industriously dis geminated by the Republicans that the numerous decisions of the Governor and Council by which returns were rejected nxes the complexion ol tne new LegUla. ture. W e tail to perceive that this is t.ue. It is not true unless the Leeisia- lure, which has poer to go behiud the lexcu&e tor not going inio tuo 14.1.11" specting the intention want of Dower.

It will be their duty tqae that justice is done, as it woul Lave tn Gov. ernor Garcelon's clear ojty hadbe law permitted him and his afiociateso look into the facts which liebk of tLfeturns. It is an unwarrantable ftnfrrei that a fusion majority of the Lf slaturfwill not exercise a' rectifying peser wfch they possess because a fustfi Gowor and Council did not exercise recat jg pow. r i which they did not posers. Tire w no proof that they have mjsiatedrie con tents of any return.

This, at least, ihat the Governor and Council Jlege, si as yet their allegations have 6een ni by no specific denials, much ss by a speciSc proofs. j : Now, we venture to foggestiat b. a fore setting the Siate h a flie with threats of violence anc inciting mob to resist the execution of ; lawfutrder of the Governor, which vis a coquence of those threats, it wouli have en wiser for the Republicans tolave up the rejected returns one bybne ado h-tve shown either that the afleged cts did not exist or that the ltw, as heretofore expounded and practsed p2its such returns to be counted j Wbem upris ing against the State authority threat ened, aud the threats live beg to be executed by mob viofcuce, ibehooves the threateners and inJurenWo have the excuse that the authorf against which they rebel is illqal, opaa been illegally exercised.
