PERU.
Condition OF thc Gcrman Em,urant..

We hear fOm Lima that the situation of the German emf
grants there little fany better than that of negro slaves
ltmay not be known TO readers he within few years
past great exertons have been made in the principal cities
Of Faherand", to lead portion Of the current OF emgra
ton TO various States Of South America principal gent
in this speculation-for il 70 deserve better
far as it rel tes TO Peru, MestizO by the Of
Rudolph who visited Europe three years since and
succeeded in inducing large number of persons 70 emil
CRATE thher in preference to the United States The Linn
CoDercio styled bin III Monstro Rudopho whether he
deserves cognomen not appears certain
that he made sufficient preparations for the comfort
for the bare subsistence OF those who followed him to
the shores of the Pacific.
Soon after the unfortunate emgrants reached Lima death
began its dongs among them and in the space of single
year three hundred at least of their number had fallen vic
tins TO the climate and the hardshps which they called
upon to suffer. Many joined the army of Flores and
few succeeded in returning TO Germany.
Those who suffered most were sold to the owners of
large plantations and the Peruvian newspapers pub
hshed several of "hororosa OPPRESSION" which
the Germans unable TO speak the language of the cou
try and are employed in the place Of the negro slaves and
treated accordingly are not easy to be prevented We
give an Instance or two:
Christoph Adam had sold his little property in Germany
and taking his wife and children had followed Rudolph
Lima. Here he sold by the latter to certain villa
the possessor Of plantation called Santa Bestrz
and lying in dry and hot section of the country
Here with inadequate food for himself his wife and three
children he compelled labor from early morning
until late at night His strength soon gave way and he
together with child, died While the widow was en-
gagged in the burial Of her husband another child one Of
five years stolen and she never learned what became
Of it, She herself put to seycre labor but at
length found the of escaping to Lima and sought to
enter complaint against Nllanueva He followed her TO
the city and demanded of the Intenden of Police the
surrender of his runaway slave and her son This last
child left to the poor mother is boy of eight years The
planter obtained the proper order Of the Intendent and
appeared in Of the principal streets with forcs of
policemen and watchmen seize the fugitves bind them
and take them back Santa Beatriz The son had le
come afflicted with terrible hernia owing to the SO.
we're labor imposed upon him and the mother proved
that the whole five Of whom her family had consist
ed, had received for eight months of slavery but
eight pasters and two reals Us 25) and never for single
day had had sufficient food The people of Lima who had
assembled on learning the state Of the case resisted the f
gitve law. and Vanueva forced to go home without
the fugves.
Another case is that Of Ursula Lang Swiss girl from
Zurich The Germans of Lima heard that on the planta
tiOn many of their counrymen and women in letters
and clogs They banded together and made search one
or more and in fact did find the girl Lang bound with
heavy chain and half dead She rescued and the
laid before the Hamburg and Bremen Consuls They
could effect nothing with the Peruvian authorities
any rcpaation that not TO be thought Of for of
the German Powers possess feet TO make them feared
the Pacific The girl afterward taken under the pro-
lection of the French Consul.
The German white girls who have found their way to
Lima stand in about the relation to the yellow ladies
of the aristocracy that the yellow ladies of of our
Southern cities do the ladies of the white arstOcracy
there. They are slaves Mechanics do well there,
for the native population both Spanish and coored are
among the most ndOlent of mankind; and being indie
pendent and having command of the market the mechanic
who can bear the climate prospers.
