The Houston Home journal PERKY, 6, 1871. Tje Labor Qae tion. Cotton lias been quiet the past week, closing at 13 cents, from last ac counts. The Connecticut election is doubt ful. Both sides claim the victory.— It is probable that neither candidate for Governor was elected, and if so the election will be made by the Leg islature, In that ease Jewell, Radi cal, will be elected, as the Legislature is largely Radical. Two white men, Lloyd and Rolseriback have been arrested for the murder cl ■G. "tV. Fish. . From the facts elicited The difficulty appearsto be bow to j manage free negro labor to make it most profitable; there appears to be no regular plan adopted by the planters by which they can secure the" faithful ser vices of the freedmen. It appears to me that land owners operate against the best- interest of the country by renting their lands to the freedmen, or allowing them to settle or build on theii-Lands. They have not the means of cultivating the land within them selves, to make it profitable to either party, the rento'r or the _ tiller, conse quently as his labor has been badly di rected, and the land badly cultivated, there is a clear loss to the country of fa far - , jt seems" that Lloyd wanted Fish's office, and influenced Uolsen- back to shoot him through jealousy. A short time ago we asked our read ers to-give.us .information about what js going on in different parts of the county.

Moreover, this system induces the freedman to feel his im portance, by. occupying the position of a tenant instead of a laborer, and is well calculated to cause them to be come greater rogues and thieves than they otherwise would be if their labor was directed in a more profitable man ner;' very, often get articles commencing; “The few ideas I have ■written may interest some of your readers.” Row we want to publish those things, which . viU certainly interest all our readers, Right here Tr'e will make a' rule: We cannot henceforth publish long com munications. only in exceptional cases.
