PROCLAMATION OF GOV. sHARKRY ON NE

jackson, Miss, Sept 25 1865.
By an order bearing date the Goth
inst, Col Samuel Thomas, Assistant
commissioner of the FTeedmen's Bureau
in this State, proposes to transfer to the
civil authorities of the State the right
to try all cases, in which the rights of
freedmen are involved either for inju-
lies done to their persons or property.
This proposition is made, however, on
condition that " the judicial officers and
magistrates of the Provisional Govern
ment of the State will take for their
mode of procedure the laws now in force
in this State, except so far as those laws
make a distinction on account of color,
and allow negroes the same rights and
privileges as are accorded to white men
before their courts" by which I under
stand that negroes shall be allowed to
testify in cases where their interest is
involved.
And believing that the late constitu-
tional amendment which abolishes
slavery, abolishes also all laws which
constituted a part of the policy of the
system of slavery, in declaring that the
negro shall be protected in his person
and property, establishes principles
which of themselves entitle the negro to
sue and be sued, and as necessary in
cident to such right that he is made
competent as Witness according to the
laws of evidence of the State:
Now, therefore, |, William L. Sharkley,
Provisional Governor of Mississippi,
with a view of securing to our citizens
the right of trial before their own Off
GERS, aud under their own laws, rather
than by military tribunal and by mill
tary law, do hereby proclaim and make

PARDoNs.-The rush of pardon seek
ers to Washington has abated, and there
were few at the White House on Mon
day. There is no doubt but the pardon
brokers have been doing thriving bust
ness. Some Of the rich rebels have paid
handsome sums to get their pardon pa
pers put through promptly, and it is
insinuated that some of the presidents
official household have not been able TO
keep their hands entirely clean. Some
time ago the president suspended the
work OF pardoning for week in order
to break mp this corrupt business, but
it is,probably impossible for him to pre-
vent it altogether unless he takes the
whole matter into his hands, for which
he has neither time nor strength. The
Insulation put forth in some quarters
that the president himself has pecuni-
airy interest in the pardon brokerage is
simply infamous

No BEGGARs IN AMERIoA.-Sir Morton

visitors, said in his speech at Cleveland:
After our journeyings west and east,
we can say there is only one thing that
we have not seen in this country which
car be seen in every other couniry--we
have not seen single man asking aims.
In other countries, no matter where, we
could not have travelled a day without
being appealed to on all sides by beg
gars; not port that we could enter
without being met on landing with APP
peals for aims. Here We can say We
have not seen a beggar, or q person that
indicated want. This is a great fact,
and one of which you may well be proud.
For this, If nothing else, you could az

The ELEcTIoNs.-The State elections
Tuesday, so far as heard from, passed
off very satisfactorily. Pennsylvania
which is chemically close State, goes
Union by fair majority compared with
the aggregate vote and the slight degree
of interest felt. Ohio gives $4,000 Union
majority, which is well enough, and
ought to convince the Vallandishom
faction and the Long faction that since
the people condemn both, they might as
well unite. Nothing is yet heard from
Iowa, but there is little doubt Of the tri
un'phauC re- election of Gov. Stone. One
of the best features of the election news
is the splendid success of the Union men
in Newark, New Jersey. This heralds

TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATIONS Last
Tuesday the Irish temperance societies
of New York celebrated the 18th birth
day of Father Mathew. They had a
grand procession, in the day time, balls
at night, a glorious time generally, and
all so far as appears without any assis-
lance from the "craythur." From an
extended account in the New York Her
aid we copy the following;
Soon after eleven o'clock the Grand
Marshal, Mr.. VIM. O'COnnell, accompa-
MED by his aids, appeared upon the
ground at the appointed rendezvous, and
at twelve O'Clock the procession moved
forward towards the City Hall, where it
was reviewed by Mayor Gunther and
several members of the Common Coun-
Gil.
On reaching Thirty sixth street and
Madison avenue his Grace the Most Rev.

Plantation Labor.

The question Of labor for the sugar plantations Of
these islands, has excited considerablepublic interest
during the past year. The apprehension has been
expressed. that the native population would not be
sufficient to supply the increasing demand for labor,
which the many plantations now under way and in
prospect will cause. The coolie question has been
discussed, and measures may be taken by govern
ment to import some.
1t seems clear to me that we need import no coolies:
that the material which we have on hand is, if right
ly managed, sufficient, and more than sufficient for
ali demand FOR a long time to come. With a popula-
ton Of ) 5000 or 10000 in these islands, there ought
to be 10000 to $4,000 working men. Leaving twelve
or fifteen thousand men as necessary to cultivate the
ground for the support Of the population, we have
from eight to ten thousand to draw from for planta-
ton labor. There are at present perhaps somewhere
about two thousand men employed on or connected
with plantations, leaving six or eight thousand droues
or non-producers. Adding these to the twelve or IF
teen thousand whose labor IS necessary to raise food
for the support Of the rest, we find a large class for
whom there is only sufficient work to keep them en-
ployei a part Of their time. Here is a dead loss to
the notion. That this IS in some measure true, the
number Of idle natives found in every village. AMI in
almost every house, is s%uficien proof.
In this reasoning, the labor Of women has not been
taken into considerations; but female labor on these
islands where the women rather prefer outdoor to
indoor work, is an item Of no small Importance, and
nearly every plantation employs females.
Shai! We then import foreign laborers, if we have
more al home than We can employ Every one re-
members the result Of the experiment Of employing
imported coolies, ten years ago, how alike the kiniest
treatment and the most iron rule seemed Of no avail:
how at times the lives Of planters and their families
were IN danger. rs the devilish character Of the
coolies broke forth in frequent riots; how men breath
ell freer NJ their removal, and how the departing
shadow OF the last Celestial laborer, was looked upon
as q public blessing Why repeat the experiment
