COOlic Labor.

The Charleston Mercury, which few weeks
since ardently advocated the opening Of the
slave trade, is now advocating the importation
| Of Coolies. 1t compares the relative expense Of
slave and coole labor as follows:
The labor OF Coolie is to be obtained at the
cost Of S4s annually. We feed, clothe, house
and take care Of one Coolie. II he dies or be-
comes useless, we loose nothing. We risk nei-
| Their our principal or interest; we make no in.
vest,nent be. ond the weekly remuneration for
his labor, and if, from any casualty, the labor
| ceases, 40 does the remuneration.
ANegro's labor would cost about S93 annually
the interest upon about S1,3s5-which would
be near the cost for hand We feed, clothe,
house, and take care Of, within a fraction, two
negroes for the use Of one; if he dies, we lose
principal aud interest; if he becomes useless, he
is An actual burden.
Of the desirableness of making an effort to
obtain the Coolies, 1t says:
There is no present prospect of cheap labor
from African importation. The slave trade is
closed; negro labor is expensive and scarce;
white labor will not answer for the cultivation
OF the soil ia Southern atitudes. Where can
| cheap labor be obtained 1t appears to me there
is way out of the woods there IS an exit from
our dilemma IN importing Ooones. mere are
no laws torbidding the importation of Chinese
hborers Coolie labor has threefod merit: it
is cheap, effective, and suited to warm climates.
They can labor like The negro on Southern plan-
tauons with as little risk to their health.
The negro rules the United States; and if the
Coolie is brought here, will there not be q .con-
dict OF jurisdiction" between him and the negros
The Chinese physiosnomy will be a certificate
Of freedom unmpeachab!e; no small matter
when there is no shade Of complexion in this
country that is.

ELECTION Law.
The most notorious law recently passed Is the
Election law, to regulate the general Territorial
election ofnext October. This election Is to be
conducted on the same census taken under the
Constitutional Convention law, and no one is to
vote at that election save those who have been
enumerated as inhabitants on the first OF April.
This is designed to cut off all the emigration OF
| this season from any participation in the future
affairs of the Territory, at the same time shat 1t
| allows all coming under the enumerated head to
vote, even though they be not bona fde citizens.
| LEaALIzlEG ILLEGALlTY.
| Several acts have been passed lcgallzng the
Board of Commissioners in different counties
These have been carrying on an irregular despo-
tism OF their own. Wherever it meets the ap-
probation of these men it is adopted. M

have gone to California . few months ago He

USpRoFEssloNAL CoNDucr.--A tragical affair
occurred in Alexandria, La, last week, between
Miss Grace Greenwood and Mr. W. E. Anderton,
who were members of theatrical company
which had been giving exhibitions in that city.
The origin of the difficulty seems to be as fol
lows:
Friday night was set apart for the benefit Of
Miss Greenwood, but owing to some cause or
other the exhibition did not take place; she
blamed M. Anderton for it, who, she said, had
dismissed the assembly without authority. The
enraged lady purchased one of those necessary
implements of female warfare, viz: cowhide of
lengthy proportions, and commenced search
for the gentleman. She came across him and
commenced applying the cowhide TO his back,
when he jerked the same from her. She imme-
diately drew her knife and made a ferocious at
tack with that weapon upon him. He finally
