Germanizing StritzerUtMd. 15G8 Germans and 133 Frtnc were naturalized in Switzerland last year.

Tb German emigration into the Swiss EpubIio is steadily THE SUGAR TARIFF. The Atlanta Constitution says that "Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, can give no good reason why the sugar interests of that State should be supported by a tax on ordinary farmers, and on the whole people who are consumers of sugar," and then the Constitution goes on to assimilate the sugar duty to the onerous duties levied for the protection of the iron interests. The New York Times comes up to the support of its Geor gia contemporary by saying that this argament goes to the root of the question. With all deference to the Times'and the Constitution, the Picayune is obliged to say that this argument does nothing of the sort.

It does not go to the root of the tariff question, or any other question. It is very true that Mr.Gibson cannot give any good reason why the sugar inter ests of Louisiana should be sup ported by a tax on the rest of the country: but, then, Mr. Gibson has never said that they should. He would be very far from saying so. The sugar tariff does not need any tuch support.

It is essentially a free trade measure. If the protectionists could have Jtheir way it would be abolished tomorrow, and sugar, like tea and coffee, would be placed on ii i A. mi il me ire list, mere is noiiiing paradoxical in this it is simple truth. For, what is the true principle 'on which a tariff for revenue should be constructed Obviously to get the largest revenue with the least burden on the country. A perfect free trade tariff would, like that of Great Britain be levied exclusively on articles not produced at all in the country, selecting, of course, those which can best bear a tax; and which are largely imported.

In this way the whole tax goes to tbe revenue. As soon as duties are levied on articles partly imported, and partly of domestic product, only that part of the tax collected on' importations goes to the revenue, while that part represented by the enhanced price of the domestic product, goes to the domestic manufacturer or producer. Whejn the tariff is prohibitory the wbetoof the tax to the manufacturer or producer. If our tariff were constructed on true free trade principles, the first articles to be taxed would be tea and coffee. These, however, would produce only a small proportion of the needed revenue.

The next article would be sugar, because, although it is, to some, extent, produced in the country, it largely exceeds any other on the list of imports, and experience lias shown that it can bear a hifrh rate of duty. In point of fact it now produces more than $40,000,000 of revenue, largely surpassing, in this respect, any other on the list. If the duty were reduced, the reduction would have to be made up by an increase of the tariff on other articles, and this necessity would be eagerly seized by the protectionists as a pretext for further exactions on the public. It would be a step away from the direction of free trade to abolish the sugar duty simply because, in any scheme of a revenue, or free trade tariff, sugar must take the most prominent place on the list of dutiable articles. A tariff without a duty on sugar would be the worst Bort of protective tariff.

The duties on iron and manufactures of iron do not rest on such foundation. They have no sort of claim to a place in a revenue tariff unless at very low rates. As they now stand they are protective duties, pure and simple. They are a tax on industry and production. They haye no likeness to the sugar duties.

These are, strictly speaking, revenue duties, and the Treasury could not be maintained without them. So the attempt to place Mr. Gibson and the supporters of the sugar tariff in a ridiculous attitude, is a total failure. The Constitution and the Times will have to try again. DCKE GRANT.

The Iloner Conferred by the Royal Host on the ex Prealdent. Last night Mr. Albert Baldwin, President of tbe Royal Host, waa serenaded at his residence on Esplanade street by the Dakes Hnd members of Carnival Court. A raasruifi cent reception was giveo, 150 people beiug present and the rooms being superbly deco rat i. Among tbe invited guesi were Gen.

and Mrs. Grsut and the Indie or b.in party. Judge rilUlngs, of the Uul ed St ttea District Court. ii a large numbtr of proaiiueal citizens. During i be grand bannnet which suceeieil ed th reception Mr.

Baldwin, on behalf of the Royal Host, delivered an address to Gen. Grant, announcing that he had been mated Iuke of America. Gen. Grant, in reply, said with a smile that he would accept the honor with pleasure. Had the title been conferred on biio under any other circumstances ho thonvht it would have caused a commotion.

The Silent Man made further remarks in a similar strain. A hand.ome silver set was presented to Mr. Baldwin by tbe Host as a mark of the King's esteem, and a beautifal pyramid of flowers to Mrs. Baldwin. Dean 8tnley is very popular with the gTeat middle class of EucUud.

It is observed that all the Presidential candidates are anxious for harmony to prevail in their respective parties. Butler, the strabismal statesman ot Massachusetts, opines that Sherman may beat Blaine. The dry goods clerks in New York are organizing to secure more pay and better treatment. Clay said that ha would rather be right than President but Edmunds says he would rather be one of the Justices of the Supreme Court. The Albany Journal says that the electoral vote of New York will be assured to the Republicans if Tilden la the Democratic nom inee.

Mrs. Burnett's Louisiana, now appearing serially In Bcribner's monthly, will soon be Issued in book form. The fame of That Lass of Lowrie'a" and "Hawortha" will ecure a large sale for this last produot of Mrs. Burnett's pen. The Harper's are about to issue a cheap edition of Gibbon.

Mr. Joseph Harper says that his fit ui intends to let down the bars for the admission of the public to those fields where hitherto only a few could afford roam. When a Legislature" has only a few work irg days left, and when at tbe same time a eat deal of Important work remains un Mulshed, it should not be necessary to poll a ouse to ascertain the presence of a quo tum. When, however, such a necessity does arise, the pole should be vigorously applied when the derelict members are brought In. Mr.

Samuel Phillips Day has published a book entitled Life and Society in America." In the course of that work he undertakes to criticise unfavorably the English of the advertisements in American newspapers but tbe editor of the London Examiner says that In the whole course of his reading he has i ot met with a book, so far as he recollects, written in worse English than the one Mr. Day haa given to tbe world. The New York HeraM says that female fl rage Is the only ism left in New England, and that that is dying out. Very recently it was proposed in Rhode Island to mend the constitution so as to allow women to vote on questions affecting the schools; but the proposition was rejected by a vote of two to one. In the Massachusetts House of Representatives a general female suffrage bill was defeated by a vote ot 137 to 60.

In tbe same body, nine years ago, there was a tie vote on a similar proposition. The Herald thinks that the failure of the female suffrage movement is due to the opposition or Indifference of the women themselves.

The Daily News In its leading editorial says The first day's polling resulted in a great Liberal victory. There is a Liberal gain of twenty four seats and a loss of nine, making a net Liberal gain of fifteen, counting aa thirty in a division of the House. The boroughs which voted yesterday have practically pronounced the doom of the Beaconsfield Government. There is every reason to believe that the gains of yesterday will be increased to day. The Times en the Resnlt ef the Election.

London, AprU l. The Times in a leading editorial on tbe result of tbe polling yesterday says The Conservatives must admit very grave discouragement The balance of gains aad losses is, on the whole decidedly in favor of the Liberals, aud it is obvious, if the tide of sacoesa fljws as strongly as it did yesterday in favor of opposition, the whole ministerial majority of 1874 will have melted away. This is more ominous for the ministry, because it is acknowledged that the loss of several seats in Scotland and Ireland, certainly a dozen, and perhaps a seore, is inevitable. GALVESTON.

The Lottery Case Decided Against the Department. LocisvrxLE, April l.

Judge H. B. Brown, of the United States Circuit Court, yesterday filed an opinion in the suit of Commer ford to enjoin the postmaster at Louisville from seizing and detaining letters addressed to the Commonwealth Distribution Company, under instructions from the Post Office Department. The decision holds that the seizure and deteution of letters addressed to lottery companies is unauthorized by any act of Congress; tbat the postmaster Is liable to a suit for damages that the lottery is legal and not fraudulent: that the remedy is legal and not equitable. The motion for a perpetual injunction is therefore denied and the biU dlemiseed.
