We do not yet hear of muck Inquiry lij Hpbrtterator laborer* Awxt year, says UxH’m lumbtis Enquirer,, and wo presume, in view all the unfavorable considerations, that i deraad will not be near to great ua for anyoUior year since the war. U rovms to us, Indeed, }hat the true policy lor planters is not' to mako yearly contracts for a month or two to oomc. Two or three questions, about which' there it present uncertainty, ongbt to b* determined before they am well decide what they ran afford to pay lor labor lit 1608. Them is the cotton tax, not yet re pealed by Congress, and which may not he repealed at ail It takes one-fifth of the price paid for ootton now, nuil quite proimbly will take one-fourth ol that received lor next year’* crop. The tax decreases to thai ex tent the wages which (lie planters ran nl- ford to pay lor the labor engaged in tho cultivation of cotton, mid will have to he taken into consideration in determining the wages for such luhor. The planter who hnstily makes * contract on tho presump tion that Congress will repeal the lax, mid let it stay repealed, no matter what may be the action of the South in regard In “ro~ ttructioii,” will run a great risk. Then thOra it tbo question whether tho freed men are really going to bo lahorert or politiciani next year. Should tho Constitu tion* adopted by the Conventions of Ala bama and Georgia he ratified by the popu lar vote, these States will be declared “restored" and entitled to vote in the Presi dential election. Next year it the year for that clsolion, and for the vigorous and ox- oiling oanvxt* that will precede it. Weal- ready bear of ncllvo preparations making by Radical politicians for a thorough can vass of tho Soulhorn States. A canvass Ar the vote* of iyji*t portion of the popu lation ? The negroes, of course. Political meetings will lie held in the neighborhood, and at frcqnent intervals during tho can vass. Leagues will be forced or stimulated everywhere, and clubs established in every county and‘precinct. The negroes will be come wild with tlio excitement of the oon- test—a thing new to them and disturbing to their cftlcionoy ns laborers. No planter ean foresee what amount ot attention will be bestowed upon bis crops in such a state ot cxyitcnient ami demoralisation of his la borers. And this state of thing* at the South is dependent upon the ratification or rejection of tbo Constitutions, because that issue will decide whether tho nogroes arc to vote ip tho Presidential election. It seems to us that th* planter ought to know before ma king his yearly contracts, whether his field hands are to be distracted or not by this disturbing canvass, and ought to make his calculations accordingly. There is no ne cessity for hurry lu making the contracts. February will bq time enough, and this quaation will perhaps bo determined then. Would it not be better to retain the negroes on tho plantations by weekly or monthly contracts for a short lime, and postpone tho making ol the yearly contracts until this matter is decided ?
