Opposition Help Not Wanted 1
The Timet, fur Bcnntnr Ivkrson, distinctly
disclaims any desire or expectation of
Opposition aid to arcure his rc-clection. It
•ays:
"Iln looks to, and not outside of, the Pern*
erratic party lor support. IIo has rapt his
political fortunes with tins organization,
and to promote its honor and prosperity is
the ambition of his lifo. Wall may the Op
position abandon the idea that die Hon.
Alfred Iverson is anything than o loyal,
true, genuine Democrat, who would pre
fer sacrificing himself upon tho oliar of
his party, than bend to un unholy alliance to
accomplish his succcos." •
While was admit that this declaration
consists with Senator Iverson's efforts in
the political canvass just closed, we must
say that it does not sustain tho opinion wr
had.foitncd from a perusal of his speeches.
From them we derived tho idea that he had
a higher ambition than to promoto the j to the Dcmocri
honor and prosperity of tho Democratic ' thsir Legislative caucus
'I he Senatorial lilectlon.
Wo observe that the Independent Oppo
sition candidates for Representative* in
Floyd county—who had declared themselves
in favor of tho rc-»Uction of JuJge Ivkrsok
to tho Unitod Slate* Senate—have been
elected hy large majorities over their Demo
cratic competitors, who were opposed to
Iverson. These Opposition gentlomeff in
Floyd no doubt expressed a preference for
Judge Iverson because they understood him
to occupy a position similar to their own —
that of independence of tho Democratic
potty organisation. With the same undei*
standing, a few months ago, wo derlaied
our decided preference for Senator Iverson
over any mere blind .partisan. Ilut tho
incidents of tho contest through which we
have just passed show that Judge Iverson
occupies no such independent position—
that ha has committed his political fortunes
party and will go into
candidate for

any parly that assailed ur l'.iiul to respect
those rights. Such w« undt retood to be his
msauiiig in reprobating the Fn esoil object
and operation of the Kans.tB.Ncbra.-ka bill,
the course of tho Adtnitrisinlton in favoring
tho litsck Republic ecliemcs in Kansas
Territory, and Judge Douglas’ doctrine of
"unfriendly legislation" against olitrry.
indsrslsnding, wo applauded his inde
pendence of party, and expressed a prefer-
nee far him over any other Democratic
spirant. But neither we nor the Opposi
tion party of Georgia have such a preference
politician who lias no higher ambition
than the success of the Democratic psity !
Judge Iverson, then, looks to the Demo
cratic caucus alone to secure his re-election
to the Senate—for the declaration of the
Timet can mean nothing more nor less than
this. He would consider a union with the
Opposition as an "unholy alliance,'’ to
which he will not "bend" I NVo, too, think
that after this avowal of *7/ic ambition oi
bis life," an alliance between hint and the
Opposition would bo an "unholy” one, and
wu arc glad that it is thus repulsed and
prevented. Let him look exclusively ”to
the Democratic parly for support." It
will be very npt to let him down like an
exhausted rocket, and tho rejected Opposi
tion party, though perhaps possessing the
strength to save hint, will "mock at his
calamity and laugh when his fear coraeth."
Iverson in (he Democra'ic caucus; the
Opposition ticket was opposed because its
nominees would net, if elected, bo qualified
to go into thut caucus. The concurrence
of Judge Iverson in ibis party programme
is proved by his active exertions in behalf
of tho Democratic licked. If common report
may bo holieved, he not unly took a
prominent part in the exclusive Democratic
caucuses held to promote the election of the
ticket, but engaged in the open canvassing
to secure it.
Had Judge Iverson lived in Floyd, ho
must, to preserve his consistency, have
labored in the somo earnest way to defeat
the Opposition fentlemen running as his
friends; for Mr. llowurd, one of our Oppo
sition candidates in this county, was well
known to he the friend of Judge Iverson,
and yet tho. Judge joined in the extraor
dinary cilorlfl made to defeat him. The
obvious reason—Mr. Howard could not have
gone into n Democratic caucus and there
supported Iverson. Neither Can the Floyd
county gentlemen go there, and they will
exhibit Christian inognunimity indeed hy
sanciumiug hy their votes in tluvLegislature
a caucus edict which they were not per
mitted to joift in making, or by supporting
in nny way n candiduto who louked to other
•aid and counsels than theirs for his success.

and corruption ol the Democratic party, we

Lis own claims or to furnish information tor
Attacks upqu bis opponent. Ho attended
courts, too, and "flow around” actively in
the prosecution of tliu canvass. Tho result
ia (list Col. Akin, though an utter stranger
to tho larger portion of. tho titate, and
though he had no opportunity to expose in
most of tho counties the humbuggery of
Gov. Brown’s railroud management, lias
reduced the Governor's boasted major.ty at
least nnc-lhird.
Of course Governor Brown is a greatly
dissatisfied man. He cannot fin I himself to
he worth inoro than sixty-two and a half
cunts in the dollar, for that is about all thut
be "brought,” on the modest valuation
assessed by himself. Hi* stock lias depre
ciated more than thirty-three and u third
per cent., and even its present nominal val
uation is fictitious amJ with a downward
tendency. l)icreasing dividends will rap
idly sink it, ns defsned claims Lave to be
met out of tit* profits, until the whole peo
ple of the State come to the conclusion
that they have been "done Brown” and
repudiate both the Governor and Ins parly.
another idea occurs to us ns of very prob
able verification, viz.: that of the members
/jualiyied to go into a Democratic caucus,
n majority arc opponent* of Judge Iverson.
Wo have very little doubt of it, for those
sections of tho Ntalc in which the doctrines

Chinese Coolie* in Cuba.
According to the official report, recently
published, upwards of forty threo thousand
coolies have liecn imported into the' Island
*f Cuba, up to the present time. The first
"e.-iu’l, tke Oquendo, arrived in Havana on
the 3d of June, 1847, with w ith ‘206, and
the »econd '-u the 12th of the same month
•wid year, with 365. But these were only
experiments. The trade did not reully open
years I a tar—in 1853. In thut year
tho number of arrivals wus fifteen, and the
number of coloni-m, as they then and «rc
•till,by cuplicrny,. ffi. Lilly called,landed was
4,307, out nf 6.150 shipped. The next year,
also in 1855, there was a considerable
falling off, but in 1866 it revived again with
renewed vigor. Tho importations that yusr
e 4,9GB. In 1857 they were 8,547, ami
the following year 13,385, a very high
figure, which will scarcely bo reached the
present year.
Tiio importations were mads in 108 ves
sel*, of which 37 were British, 17 American,
16 8|anish, 16 French, 15 Dutch, 0 Peru-

oyago from 80 to 330 days. The number
of passengers like wine varied, but not appa
rently with the size of tlm snip, but with
tho convenience, or conscience of tho ship-
pur. Quo ship in 1857 brought out from
Macao 900 souls, another 915 in 1858, and
still another thu first month of the present
year 1,000, lacking only one.
rtality during tlm passage, it
vutiev still more, and apparently according
tiio length ol the voyage, tlm size of thu
**cl, number of passengers, and character
of tho shipper combined. In 185} it was
ly 2.23 percent., but two years later, up-
the revival of tlm trade, it ran up as high
1U.24& per cent. This was in 1850, nor
dor* there appear to be much falling oil
mice. Tho lo*t year it was 18.46 per cout.
The avurugu sinco tho opening o*f tho trade
i* 15.20 per cent.
The greater part of ilmsft shipments were
made from thn ports of Amoy, Macao uud
fcwutow: comparatively few from Hong
Kong. They were, of course, from the low
est of tho low, tho very refuse of tlm mixed
populatio )* which collect in those cities; all
of them in tho gicatcKt destitution, und ma
ny of them fugitives from justice. Il in, in

into tho Llund of Cuba.

ment, ns also of tlm present value of Uooly

But these uro not, hy nny menus, the para

of thu luiurc disposition of tho vicious "col-

ile, and my hair is ns dliry ns powdher; let’*
have a regular fix up wid the folks all awny.’
’"‘lis was acceded to. und they all went
oiling their locks, being very lavish of
tho fluid, which wa* quite thin, in conso-
queucu of the alcohol. In a few minutes
redhead snys:
Whirrs, what amills so !’ with her noso
turned skyward.
■Sure it’* Iho* porfume,” interrupted a
short and dumpty specimen, with her bait
down tier back.
‘I’aifume, indado,’ says tho red head—.
•that’* not pnrftimo—it*s the rale bad smell.’
•Mehby,' sny* the dumpsy; ‘its the Patch
Chewlcy. I’vo ha-nrd folks sny that Patch
Chuwley amill* dreadful nt fust; a person
must gel used to the sinill before they likes
il. Hhuro it's a par fume used by the quali-

This satisfied red hoa<I, and after a thor
ough filing,’ they left tho room. In about-
hours tho buaru'ers camo homo from
church.
Good gracious, what is it ! Bless my
soul, Mr. G., I shall faint! Oh ! my dear,
I shod faint! Oh ! My dear thoro must bo
unclean animal in tho rdom!’ and n
thousand other expressions were heard, as
tho boarders gut a sniff at the Patch Chew-
ley, when they entered tho hona*. Thn
muster and the mistress nf the house wero
puzzled, confounded, indignant, and in vain
endeavored to discover the locality of tho
Hindi. At dinner limo there were nut half
a dozen hoarders at (he table, nnd those that
wero there wero rapidly thinking of hacking
out, as the three gills who weru filed’ wero
waiting nn them.
Finally dinner was given up, nnd with
doors and window* opened, the inmates al
ternately froze and suffocated. Tho day
w«* n dire one to them, but it aoon woio
away.
At night tho threo girls altomptod tn
comb their hair. Tho alcohol had evapora
ted. having the balsam of honey and fir, and
they might as well have attemptod to comb
a bunch of shingles. At (ho first dash thn
red-head inode, her comb caught, and thro*
the influcuce of tho potnsso at (ho roots, tbe
whole riiuss of tho front hair carnc off red
head's cranium, which sho discovered with
yell that would have madn a cannibal en
vious. Tho samo result attended the rest of
the hair, with tlm exception of enough to
du up a* a scalp lock, lo ornument with
feathers, iri Indian style. The other two
girls met the same fate, and iihuuttcn o’ol’k
that night they might have been seen wrap
ping up their loat Patch Chewlcy lurks in
pieces of paper. Tbo next morning they
were informed by tho *rniMlresa that aiie did
nut desire lo employ huld-huadud servant
girls, and with their ‘chiats' they Jeparlurl
in almost a sculped condition.
The discovery of Dave nnd Bob’s connec
