Editor of the Daily jVrtrt-Sm: Tho propo
sition to import Chineso laborers in this coun-
tnf to tho extent of snpplanting tho negro in
his old fields of labor, althongh originated bnt a
few months since, has already acquired such
breadth and seriousness as to produce the most
profonnd concern in tho minds of all who
thoughtfully consider the future of the South.'
That I should, share such concern is not ro-
mnrkablo or in any way exceptional, and it
alono would fnrnish no occasion for a commu
nication to tho press. Bnt it has been my for-
tnno to have lived nino years in China; to havo
had somo singular and extended opportunities
of observation in commercial intcrconrao with
her pooplo; and wbat I havo thns learned of tho
character and habits of tho people whom it is
proposed to make so largo nn element in our in*
du.stiisl and even civil organization, X feel un
der some sort of obligation to communicate to
tho public, nnd offer to tho scrions reflection of
thoso who, liko mysolf, havo all tho interests
and hopes of their lives invested or employed in
tho South.
In tho first place I do not deny that tho
Chineso, in many respects, are useful and
patient laborers—they are industrious, ov.-n
painfully ko. Their fabor, at leant when em
ployed in their own country, is tho cheapest in
tho world—tho average wages being two to tbreo
dollars n month, tho laborer finding his own
provisions and clothes, or say less than ten cents
a day. Their wants nro few nnd simple, thoir
diet being vegetable (principally rice,) nnd
thoir scanty dress, which may bo completely
enumerated os bamboo hat, flowing cotton shirt
nnd trowsers, paper or wooden ft hoes, serving
them in all circumstances. They are, more
over, docile as laborers, not a littlo ingenious,
nnd managed by very moderate authority.
This is abont the sum of the recommendation
of the Chinaman os a laborer. Bnt this affords
only a very imperfect nnd narrow view of tho
qneRtion, and our people seem to have, merely
computing the oost and ontward convenience of
a certain kind of labor, entirely lost sight of all
that vice, filth and unnatural habits of tho Asi
atic population which snch an importation of
laborers would necessarily bring into nnd per
haps confirm in our midst. The Chinese are
tho filthiest of tho Asiatic races. The prostitu
tion of their women is the common, almost uni
versal, condition of tho lowest classes. In addi
tion to these hideons and worao than bratnl
practices, they are universally gamblers. It is
a enrions circumstance that yonng and old ha
bitually gamble for their food and for every ar
ticle they bny at the stalls in the bazar— instead
of paying the price down, throwing dico or
lining some other chanco to deternitno whether
they shall pay donblo or nothing.
The almost invariable experience is that the
coolies gamble away their wages, nnd nro thus
foUcroa by thoir improvidence nnd vices in
whatever land they havo boon carried, ns labor
ers or apprentices. When wo considor the
rosnlts of snch a pcoplo, with their poisonous
vices being fastened upon us, perhaps in hun
dreds of thousands—possibly millions—we nro
also to reflect tlmt it is the very scum of this
population, of tho very lowest and most de
based of tho coolie class, that emigrants are per
suaded, nnd Hint we mnst expect to reemit tho
ranks of Southern labor. What offset such a
population, permanently fixed in tho Soatb, and
possibly ascending in tho future to political in
fluence, would havo on onr civilization, our
morals, our atmosphore, is n question, to nty
mind, more serious and lnrgor than that of any
mcro cheapness or convenienco of labor.
I do not disgniso that I should bo sorry to seo
tlio senm of a vicious Asiatic population nnp-
planling tho comparatively clean and healthful
negro. I own to nffection for tho black man,
and so far from sharpening any resentment
against him at this time, 1 think wo Rlionld
await the rcsnltaof those recent inllnencos which
are manifestly bringing him nronnd to a recon
ciliation and bolter understanding with tho whito
man. Tho fact is, I cannot seo that we want
any foreign additions to tho labor of tho South.
Wo havo tho snmo labor that wo havo always
had; nnd ns it is woll known that the natural
multiplication of tho negro cxcoods that of the
whito man, the supply mnst continuo to bo en
larged in pTojiortion to the demand. Wlint is
needed is to reorganize and discipline this labor
rathor than to increase it by dangorous methods
of pauper immigration ; nnd besides this the
great want of tho South may bo described ns
capital, not labor—tho first to employ nnd di
rect tho other, nnd thns bring both development
nnd pence to the South.
As to tho man Koopmanschnp, the self-con
stituted agont of Chineso emigration, who has
(icon recently making such important displays
of himself, I have known him over since his
embarkation inthe Chinese trade ; and although
unwilling to mako imputations on any one, I
must Bny that ho is a man manifestly incapable
of anything but a mereonnry motive in the en
terprise he proposes. He is anxious to mnke
the immonso profits that mnst neeme in sclliug
laborers to tho South for eight dollars a month,
who notoriously work for one-fourth of this
amount of wages in their own country. Tho
Pacific llailroad Company—that monster north
ern corporation—the embodiment of its avarice
npd money power—is anxious, too. to reap its
revenue of millions from this traffic : nnd it is
already said that n New York capitalist is ready
to put on seventeen steamers to cross the Paci
fic ocean if tho Southern planters will afford
sufficient encouragement for such nn enterprise
of transportation of labor from the shores of
Asia.
Indeed, tho nvarieo and perfidy of tho North—
so eager nnd cruel in this enterprise of supplant
ing tho negro by tho importation of another
race of laborers—is tbo most remarkablo thing
in tho whole affair; and it alono shonld condemn
,it in the estimation of every jnst and hnmnno
mind.
After all their professions of affection and so
licitude for the negro, we find northern men
ready to seize tho first profitable enterprise to
crush him ont by foreign competition, anxious
only to turn such an enterprise to a scheme of
tnoney-mnking nnd to sacrifice to "the almighty
dollar" the very lost remnant of tho black man's
hope, tho very crust of bread that freedont has
condemned him toy am in tbo fierce and heart
less competitions whieli they would now inaugu
rate, nnd by the sweat of liis brow, which, so far
from alleviatiug, would wring ont anew.
It is well that this consideration shonld be
put to tin- negro. Certainly, if any addition is
needed to the instructions and influences which
aro now bringing him back to the sympathies of
bis old master, and dissuading him from the
North, it would bo supplied by this exposition
of tho policy of tho latter—a policy that dooms
him to a fate worso than slavery—that of beg
gary and death. Richard Poix-um.
The Chinese Laborer.
prom Purnry't Philadelphia Prat r,f the 11RI ]
Ihe industrial problem of the hour unques
tionably is the coming Asiatic. Already every
honsekeeper in the land is opening her home to
take him in ; already we are told he means
cheap coal, cheap railways and what is bet
ter than all, reliable labor; already the Dem
ocratic party have divided on his living among
ns, and between Biddy and the black man the
stranger will have, for a few years—perhaps it
can b© reduced to months—a hard time.
■The opinions of this journal on the qnestion
have been freely expressed before. Cheap la
bor, and plenty of it, will not harm the Ameri
can laborer. Nothing can that develops the
country; nor will it likely reduce legitimate
wages for generations at least. Our vast conti
nent is yet almost unbroken ground for indus
try. We limit ourselves to-day to facts. Every
item of intelligence now is grateful to a State
like onrs, that has not one-tenth enough of la
bor within its borders, nor that often of the right
kind.
We have jnst had the pleasure of a long con
versation with Mr. Marcos D. Bornck, editor of
the Spirit of tho Valley, a gentleman of wide
range of information, whoso observations pos
sess moro than ordinary accuracy and intelli
gence. Mr. Bomck has been for twenty years
a citizen of California, mostly resident in San
Francisco, nnd his opportunities for possessing
himself of tho facts are only equalled by his
practical and philosophic powers of generaliza
tion and inference. From recollection we hasti
ly reproduce and group together the main points
elicited in a protracted but most interesting in
terview.
Chinamen havo dono the entire rough work
—the cutting, ditching, grading, and filling—of
the Centra! Pacific Railway. Tho road has had
as many as fifteen thousand of them employed
at one time. Tho finish nnd execution of their
work is far superior to anything we know of.—
They are nrtists in clay. This is a natural se
quence of tho Chineso mind nnd history." For
this kind of labor they nro pjlid ono dollar a day
in gold, tho bosses, or foremen, about thirty-five
dollars a month, gold.
A day’s work of a Chinaman is better in qnali-
ty and amount than that of the average Euro
pean.
Tho personal qualifications of tho Chinaman
as a laborer nro excellent. lie is inexpensive—
eating littlo or no meats, and having no palato
for tho lnxnries of tho table. Ho confines him
self to tho simplest of diet.
He is eminently docile and obedient; doing
what ho is told, nnd nover requiring to be told
twice. If treated kindly nnd fairly, he is hon
est and faithful to his work. As a rule, thero is
no trouble between employers and Chinese em
ployes. If thoro is, it is because of great in
justice dono to tbo latter.
He never “strikes,” and does not know what
that means. This, wo may add in passing, is
very significant It would seem as if tho China
man in a rough way was to becomo tho solvont
of tho present qnestion of “strikes," which this
year lias been growing so portentous. At Omaha
tho Union Pacific Railroad Company is testing
tho matter nt this very honr, and if wo know
rightly the men who are managing that road,
they will give the strangers a fair truth
They havo no propensity for politics. They
do not expeot to vote, nor want to do so, nor
think at all about tho matter. In this viow they
nre.a far safer importation than the lower class
of Enropoan emigrants. San Francisco need
never fear falling nmler the feet of n gang of
Chineso poliemen. Chineso ronghs will never
stnff onr ballot-boxes or disgrace our courts.
They keep a contract inviolably—theso pa
gans and iilolators. Ninety-eight per cent, of
tlioso in California can read and write their own
languago. Most of them are rapid in figuring.
Their children leant onr language quickly; thd
parent with difficulty, though they soon managq
to acquire a stock of words and sentences which
answer their purposes. They show a great anx
iety to send their children to schools whero En-1
glish is taught, though fow facilities havo been
von them, for while they pay full school taxes,
icy havo as yet furnished bnt ono school honso
for forty pupils. As n class, thero * is none sq
law-abiding—not oven tbo Americans—and none
moro honest. They pay all taxes to tho Gov
ernment cheerfully and carefully, even unjust
ones, nnd the school tax of the State, though
they have very small returns for tho latter.
Thoy mako excellent house servants—the
best in tho world—looming with rapidity. Al
though their system of cooking is somewhat dif
ferent from ours thoy readily change, and lie-
como in a fow weeks good American cooks.
With equal facility they turn out nurses and
chambermaids. Whatever they nro onco shown
they can do, and will do it quietly and regularly,
Aa honso servants in California they command
from ten to twelve dollars a month.
They are singularly unobtrusive in their de
portment, nover pnshing themselves into notice,
nor becoming in any way offensive or disagroel
ablo through personal assertion. They do no-
caro for tbo fifteenth amendment nor the equat
rights bill. Thoy never enter a car or pnblic
conveyance unless asked by tho conductor or
somo passenger, standing patiently on tho ont-
side.

man, and demand that he shall be humanely . will known „,, t ,, Mm it to en

Wo nro informed that cotton is still holding
its forms, notwithstanding the great amount of
wet weather wo have had for the last two weeks, j
Tho prospect is still good for a large yield. We
understand that Mr. Culberson, of Zebulon, has
a patch of several acres which good judges say
will make at least two and a half bales to the
acre if no mishap occurs. It was planted in
rows six feet apart, and given good distance in
tho row.
Mr. John Pearson, of Upson, has fonr acres
which already has a sufficient number of grown
bolls upon it to ffiako over a bale to tho acre.
Wo might mention numbers jaf persons who
havo fine patches of cotton, if space permitted,
but the above are most generally spoken of, and
are quite a good specimen of what may be ex
pected from a liberal application of manure and
attention in cultivation.
Of course it is not to bo expected that, the
above is an average of field crops in this vicini
ty, but of rich garden spots that have received
extra care and cultivation. Cotton in fields is
quite promising also.
Mr. Weaver is said to have two hundred acres
which is the finest crop in the county. One hun
dred acres of which, good judges say, will make
one hundred bales unless injured by some mis
hap. With a good crop of cotton, at remuner
ative prices this fall, we may expect Georgia
again to prosper, and her citizens to feeljthat in
dependence of character that was their'■wont

The Garden ofFdeu.
A London letter to Scribner's New York Book-
buyer contains the following, which promises to
settle the long-mooted question of the site of
the Garden of Eden:
“Sir Harry Rawlinson, at the last meeting of
writing the BovbI Asiatic Society, gave the remarkable
correspondent. ting of wine- ftIlnoU n Comen , that the progress now reached in
the collection and arrangement of the Nineveh
Wine-dialling in Franco—Naked Wo
men lo Give It •• liquet.’*
To the Editor of the JVVw York Tribune: Your
California
making in Francej refers to the practice tho
naked women have of going into the wine-vats
up to their waists, to stir tho fluid, and thus fa
cilitate the process of fermentation! I have
often heard of such a practice, bnt was an un
believer until a late visit which I made to the
vineyards on the Shine, and in Champaigne,
Franco, whereT found tho custom was univer
sal, and, on referring to authorities, I found
tho statement fully confirmed. Writers disagree
as to the object of this practice, some claiming
that the natural warmth of tho body hastens
fermentation, and others asserting that the
stirring about and mixing up of the pomace in
this way gives the wine a “fuller body,” a
deeper color, or a superior boqnet.
As it is now estimated that we have already
planted in the United States 2,<XX>,000 acres of
vineyard, or an area equal to two-fifths of that
devoted to vines in France, it is to be hoped
that the French mode of making wine will not
be introduced into this country—at least, till
Yankee ingenuity hss been exhausted in finding
a substitute. C. A. L.
inscribed fragments, made it beyond a doubt
that they would be able to derive the whole of
the history given in the Book of Genesis, from
the time of Abraham, from tho original docu
ments ; and it was not too much to expect that
almost the same facts and descriptions would be
found in the Baylonian documents as in the Bi
ble. He hoped very soon to have ready a paper
on the Garden of Eden, in which he would show
that was the natural name of Babylon. The
rivers boro the very same names, and the Baby
lonian documents gave an exact geograpical ac
count of the Garden of Eden- The Flood and
the tower of Babel would be found to be most
amply illustrated in the Babylonian documents. ’ *
