Greek. Faith, should 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 favorable.

The Herald says: The speeches throughout were very bitter to wards those favoring free labor, and now and then there wero a few sharp discussions which, for blasphemy and exhibitions of bad temper, wonld have been highly creditable to the Ameri can Congress. And has Boston been, prating about “free la bor” and drowning the country in blood in be half of “free labor” to whistle it down at last with bitter speeches and blasphemous words ? Ah, there were fiery speeches ? One Pratt, of Randolph, ripped and ranted and threatened a bloody revolution, if Congress did not stop 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 mand ? few millions at 7 per cent. this Pagan immigration.

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. Houston. Affairs in Early. Blakely, Eably Co., July 1st, 1870. 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. Respectfully, B. Chancy. Oats, Rye, Wheat, Etc. , . OOLETHOBPE, MaCON COUNTY, V „ July 4th, 1870. »* 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, W. K. Hall.

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. Lyon, DeGraffenreid and Irvin, by C. Lanier, for defendant 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. \Chicago Tribune Cor.
