Dear Readers, when you and we saw what was
called the “accursed system of AfricanSlavery in
tho United States,” go np in a grand explosion
of villainona Saltpetre, some of ns may have con
soled ourselves with the idea that whatever mis
chief might have been done, the “Labor Ques
tion,” so-called, had at last taken a shape where
it would stand to the day of final dissolution.
Labor wonld henceforward come into the mar
ket like any other commodity and Test for its
price and valuation on fixed commercial princi
ples. We assumed, for illustration, that if ono
had a pair of shoes to sell, he wonld be forced
by the principles of trade to accept the lowest
price for those shoes. No man or woman wonld
give him one cent more for those shoes than he
could possibly avoid giving, and the necessity
of giving or paying for tho shoes wonld be es
tablished by the lowest price of such shoes
the market.
As a fair corrollary to this reasonable assump
tion, we also assumed that the man who came
into market with his labor, to manufacture those
shoes would stand on precisely the same founda
tion. He too, would be compelled to accept for
the making of the shoes the minimum sum for
which they could be mado. As it could not be ex
pected that the consumer would pay one cent
more for tho shoes than necessity compelled
him to pay, so also it could not be expected tha
the manufacturer would pay one cent more for
the leather, the wax, tho thread, cloth and labor
which entered into the composition of the shoes,
than he was compelled to pay. Every parly con
cerned, directly or indirectly in this transaction,
came under tho wholesome 8nd uniform opera
tion of the lowest possible cost of production,
because in all that he had to sell, whether of
labor, or the products of labor, the same prin
ciple governed. He, too, was compelled to take
tho lowest price.
This we understand to be the sound, safe,
natural and salatary principle of trade, an'"
the schemes to create and establish exceptional
conditions are contrivances to rob the many for
the benefit of the few, and practically concenter
their injnfious consequences upon
class at last—they rob the farmer and producer
of the fruits of the eatth for the benefit of the
comparatively small class of mechanics and
manufacturers.
Bat the abolition of “compulsory labor” in
the United States, so far from settling the so-
called Labor Question upon these plain, obvi
ous, wholesome and natural conditions, has un
settled every thing, and stirred np a strife which
will rock the Northern States to their founda
tions. Two great meetings were held in Bos
ton and one in New York last week, because
seventy-five Chinamen had emigrated to New
England to make shoes at lower rates than the
Shoe Makers’ Union or “ Sons of St. Crispin'
wonld accept.
But will it not bo advantageous to every oiti
zen of the United States that shoes should be
made as cheaply as possible? Obviously so.
The demand, however, is substantially that
shoes shall bear a high prico in order that the
members of the Shoemakers' Union may oxact
high wages. Bat how is it with wheat and cot
ton? Do not the Crispins buy their flour and
their cotton as low as possible regardless of the
interests of the producer or his laborers ? How,
then, should they claim an exemption which
they are unwilling to concede ? It is but a mere
part and parcel of that odious system of piracy,
called “protection to American labor,’ which
insists upon invoking the Legislative power of
the nation to put a certain set of producers
above certain ether classes of producers, and

The resolutions and"speeches thunder about
the degradation of the American race by the in
troduction of an Asiatic people among them
who are heathens and live on rice and rats; but
a cooler and better exposition of this point will
be found in the New York Tribune of the same
date, wherein, in an essay of two. columns, Mr.
Swinton sounds the alarm upon the Chinese
question and styles it the all-absorbing question
of the day. The debasement of the American
race is the first ground upon which Mr. Swinton
opposes the introduction of the Chinese, and
here is the way in which he discourses:
“There is reason to dread the result of the
infusion and transfusion of the Chinese, Mon
golian, or Yellow race with the white American
raoe. The Mongolian blood is a depraved and
debased blood. The Mongolian type of human
ity is an inferior type—inferior in organic
structure, in vital force or physical energy, and
in the constitutional conditions of development.
On tbis point all anthropologists and ethnolo
gists are agreed. Now, there is not the slight
est doubt that if the influx of the Mongolians is
permitted, they will gradually incorporate them
selves with the blood and being of the country.
Chinese immigration is almost wholly of the
male sex; and no one will believe that after
these people have settled in our towns, have
been engaged in oar great industries, and have
enjoyed the opportnnities of association, they
oin be compelled to refrain from the intermix
ture which will result in the growth of a half-
breed Chinese-American type. It is a sugges
tive fact that the first organized bodies of in
dustrial Chinamen have been taken to the*Btate
of Massachusetts—a State in which, as we are
so often told, there is a vast preponderance of
the female element of the population, and from
which we constantly hear of schemes for equal
izing the numbers of the sexes. I make no com
ment on the fact, preferring to leave others to
draw such deductions as they please. But can
we afford to permit the debasement of the
American race-types by intermixture with an
inferior race? Can we afford to permit the
transfusion into the national veins of a blood
more debased than any we have known ? Can
we afford to offer the opportunity for this sort
of mongrelism ? If there be any truth whatever
in Darwin’s scientific theory of Natural Selec
tion, it must be admitted that a nation like ours
wonld run a fearful risk from the degradation
of its race-existence.”
Now there is no more settled persuasion in
our mind than that God and our Fathers intend
ed this for a white man’s government and coun
try, and it waBbase treachery to both to surren
der its political administration to negroes to the
end that their ignorance and servility might be
wielded in the interest of party lawlessness and
corruption.
But the surrender was winds and now we hear
of nothing so much as laws to drive the Ameri
can whites into political and social confraternity
with negroes, and laws and treaties to increase,
by annexation and incorporation, the nnmber of
negro citizens, and schemes of the administra
tion and others to push negroes into Federal
office and into Congress, as the preferred ex
ponents of American citizenship in the South.
None were fiercer advocates of negro citizen
ship than these Massachusetts and Tribune
men; and even a3 to the admixture of races,
Massachusetts went into ecstaoies over the idea
of an infusion of the rich African into the
Anglo-Saxon blood. The whole Radical party
is inexorably committed to the universal politi
cal and sooial equality of man in its broadest
sense.
Do they balk at their own doctrines now ?■
It is too late, after they have poisoned the
suffrage—perverted the Constitution and broken
down all restrictions in favor of intermixture
with tho lowest type of mankind. They declared
universal brotherhood and equal social and civil
rights with the African—for what ? To secure
the ends of a selfish party interest and to
harrass the Southern people. It was done on
two motions—avarice and revenge. Now they
will proscribe Chinese imigrants—for what?
to gratify their avartco. The Chinese, un
like the negro, asks neither political nor
social equality, He seeks only employment,
but these people will hot allow him
to have it for fear he should underwork them;
and this, too, in a boundless country just emer
ging from the condition of a wilderness—with
more than nine-tenths of it uncultivated and
unproductive—with little labor, and that noto
riously intractable and expensive. Is it possi
ble that these radicals can ocmpel the country
to blow hot and cold in alternation, just a3 their
malignity and selfishness are pleased to de

Let Planters Hold Cotton.
Editors Telegraph d> Messenger :
There is cause for the constant fall in price
of cotton. The last crop proved rather larg
er than anticipated. But the difference in the
weight of the bales has not been taken into the
account. The bales last year were lighter than
ever before. Bagging was lew, there was
profit in it, and the lint was so very light that
it was difficult to pack a heavy bale. But the
receipts are rapidly falling off; and by Watts
& Co’s., last statement there will be only about
as much cotton on hand on the 1st of Septem
ber, as was last year. This time last year it
was rising, and reached 31 cents in MacoD
Now, why should it be falling every day?
The reason is everywhere given that so
much is planted, so much guano, such pros
pects, and the negro are working so well. I
don’t believe there is more cotton planted than
last year. Thero is more guano used, and in
many cases we had as well used sand or swamp
mud. There is an occasional good patch of
cotton near some man’s horse lot, where he has
been experimenting for years past; but in
several of the counties around this, the crop
is below an average for the 1st, of July. It is
certainly two weeks behind time. Suppose
we should ha^e unfavorable seasons from tbis
out, >here is that tremendeus crop to come
from ? I have been a planter many years,and
I have seldom seen a large crop suiade where
all the growing and formmg had to be done
after the 1st of July.
As to the freedmen they work pretty well if
behind a good mule that will drag them along;
and you can get them away from their cabins;
but I see in my travels much cotton that is
already injured fay grass. _ Don’t sacrifice your
cotton upon the supposition that there will be
such a large crop made. That may, or may
not be. But if it be, there is an increased
consumption. And speculators have lost cot
ton on their first operations, and are desirous
of making up losses on their last.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger Feeling
au abiding interest in the progress of agricul
ture, and solicitors particularly in tho yield of
the growing crop, I presume to ask space'in
your journal for a few facts and.dots concern
ing this immediate section of Georgia. I need
not tell you that the same old -want of harmony
and concert of action prevails here, and super
induces a course suicidal to the interest of a 1
classes. A comparatively large area is planted
in cotton, which now presents a prospect for but
a meagre yield, in consequence of tbe wet rust,
and the appearance of the caterpillar on low
lands with lice, in myriads, after the late heavy
rains, which succeeded a drought of many
weeks—say from tho 10th April to the 15th of
June. The oat crop is short; the corn pros
pects are not very flattering, but depend much
upon future seasons and developments.

Editor Tdegiraph and Messenger : I see pub
lished in your paper, an account of some oata
said to have been raised by a Mr. Taylor, of
this county, which is a mistake. - The oats I re
fer to are some that I left with Col. W. H. Wil
lis, of Oglethorpe. They were raised by me,
and without any fertilizer being used. They
were sown the first of December. But they do
not compare with somo I raised in 1861. The
tale looks unreasonable, but yet it is the truth,
whioh l ean prove. In 18611 raised one head
of oats which were three feet five and a half
inobesJoBg from where the first branch of the
head come out to end of the head, and there
were plenty cf heads over two feet long. I be
lieve the best head of wheat that I have seen
published this year, was eighty-two grains in
the head. I have a head raised this year, with
one hundred and two grains in Jt. It has five
grains to the mesh. Your bunoh of lye with
over nine thousand grains from one grain, I
shan't try to beat. Yours, respectfally,

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Delivered at Atlanta, Tuesday, June 38.
retorted fob the constitution.
Annie M, Peters, plaintiff in error, vs. Thalia
Peters, defendant in error. Motion to
transfer to the United States Court, from
litbb county.
Brown, 0. J.
Matthew B. Peters had a wife, Thalia Pe
ters, and three minor children, in New York.
A total divorce was adjudged between them in
the proper court in that State; and it was
farther adjadged that - he pay to his divorced
wife ten dollars per week during their joint
lives as alimony. Matthew B. aflewarda
married another wife, Annie M. Brown, in
Georgia, who had one child, when he became
a lunatic, and Col. Best was appointed his
-guardian,
ThaHaThisTirst wife,-a citizen of New York,
filed her bill in equity iu the Superior Court
of Bibb county, Georgia, setting forth the
judgment for alimony, and charging that it
was wholly unpaid, and praying that tne lands
of her late husband be sold by the guardian,
and the money raised applied in paying off
her claim. n.
Matthew B. Peters died pending this suit,
and Best became his administrator.
Annie, his last '.wife, commenced her pro
ceeding in tho Court of Ordinary of Bibb
county, to have a year's support allowed her
and her minor child out of the estate, in pre
ference to all other liens. The commissioners
by their return, allowed her $1,800. And Tha
lia, the first wife, appeared in court and con
troverted Annie’s right. The Court of Ordi
nary refused to approve the return of the com
missioners, on-the ground thatthe three min
or children of Thalia wero not provided for by
the return, and on the further ground that
Thalia’s judgment, by the law of New York,
is a special lien on the estate, higher than the
claim of Annie, to a year’s support.
Best, the administrator, then filed his
amended answer to Thalia’s bill against him,
in the nature of a cross-bill against them both,
and against various other defendants claiming
pH nine
to have the highest lien on the fund, for bills
for the lunatic, while in the asylum, bills for
nurses and attendants, doctor’s bills for ser
vices in his last illness, burial expenses, etc.,
etc.
Thalia Peters then filed her affidavit, stating
lhat she has reason to, and does believe, that
from prejudice, or local influence, she will not
be able to obtain justice in the State Court,
and prays that the case pending between the
said Annie and herself _ be transferred to the
Circuit Court of the United States:
Meld, That the court below erred in grant
ing the order of the transfer, as there cannot,
in this case, bp a “final determination of the
controversy, so far as it concerns her,” in the
Federal Court, unless all the other parties to
the litigation claiming prior liens upon the
funds of the estate were before the court
•Judgment reversed. McCay, J. concurred.
Earner, J., dissenting, delivered his opinion
at length.
B. Hill and Col. Best for plaintiff in error.

From Houston.
A letter from a friend in Houston, says;
Crops in this neighborhood “ near tho Facto
ry ” ire promising indeed. Corn is much bet
ter than cotton, and a plenty planted to supply
no for another aeason. Cotton has been in
jured some by the grass, and not so forward as
t waa last year. Everybody used fertilizers
conaequnetly there has been work a plenty. The
fanners of this community raise their own corn,
but not much meat, and we are all making a lit
tle money, the 15th Amendment net excepted.
They are working remarkably well, and have a
desire to make something; so if cotton is not too
low this fall, this section of old Houston will
come in for its share of Greenbacks.
Coal Oil as a Hair Restorative.—We had
heard it stated several times that Mr. Sam.
Bryan, who heretofore, had been barefaced on
the top of his head, had, by the use of coal oil,
i^rown a thick coating of hair on the aforesaid
bald head. "We saw Mr. B.' ou Monday last,
and upon examination found the statement to
be correct. Mr. Bryan informed ns that the
way he found out this new property of coal oil
was simply this: He had a large boU on the bald
place on his head' which gave him much pain,
and in the absence of anything else he rubbed
coal oil on it. He says it relieved the pain al
most instantly, so he continued to rub on the
oil until the boil was entirely well, when to Ms
surprise, he fonnd a thin coating of hair com
ing ont over the bald place. He continued the
use of the oil for a month or two, and now
has a heavy coat of hair on his head. This
is no hnmbug.'bnt the simple truth, and we ad
vise our baldheaded friends to try the experi
ment.—Carrolton {Mias.) Conservative.
A gentleman, tbe other day, stepped into the
store of a Paris merchant, followed by a ser r
vant. The gentleman, who wore his right arm
iu a sling, was taken for a military pensioner,
and the merchant gladly placed before Mm Buch
articles as he asked for. "When he came to set
tle the account, however, he found he had not
sufficient money, so he asked the merchant to
write a note from his dictation to his wife, .
which he wonld send to Ms hotel by his servant.
The merchant unsuspiciously wrote as he was
desired, and on a sheet bearing the name of the
firm,:these words: “Send me immediately, by
the. : bearer, two hundred thalers. Yours,
Robert.” He smilingly dosed' up the note,
with the expression, “Ah, then we are name
sakes.” The servant took the note, and soon
returned with the required sum. The gentle
man paid for his wares, gave them to his ser
vant to carry, and went away. Some hours af-
ter, the wife of the merchant visited him, and
after talking of sundry things, suddenly asked
Mm why he had sent for the two hundred tha
lers. j The man was rendered speechless with
astonishment when he saw what a cheat had
been played upon Mm.
A>Lightning-rod man, in patting up one of
his rods between Indianapolis and Cincinnati,
connected it with a Western Union telegraph
wire, “in order," he said, ‘To relieve the light
ning-rod if it should become excessively charged
with electricity.” He succeeded in relieving the
line of its dispatches, wMch ran into the ground,
and caused a large and well-selected amount of
"cussing” at both ends of the line.
It is true that the Qaeen was desirous Dick
ens should accept some token of royal favor.
More than one overture was made to him on the
subject, but to all the proposals of the Sovereign
he returned a refusal. I have reason for stating
that the highest dignity of all was never ten-'
dered to him. He might have been made a
Baronet, but to have made Mm a peer of the
realm would have been contrary to precedent.
