TEE LOUISIANA BLAyE.CODE.

Louisiana has followed the example Of South
Carolina and Mississippi, and enacted code
" hich she presents to the country as her idea o
how much freedom it will lotto allow the eman
cipated blacks. The code comprises four scpa
rate statutes, but they all relate to the same sub
ject, aud may be considered as parts of one
law, designed TO impose upon tho freedmen
involuntary servitude. II is enacted
THAT all persons engaged laborers 10 ngricu
,nrnl pursuits shall be required, during the first 10
days OF the month Of January Of esch year. TO make
contracts for labor for the then ensuing year or FOR the
tracts"
There is no liberty to make contracts for six
months, or for three, or to make none, but the
laborer is bound by law to make contract OF
some sort during the first ten days of January
for the whole year. He may not be offered a
dollar month for his labor--he is bound by
this law to take the best offer he can get during
those ten days. The planters may make what
agreement they choose as to price; they have
only to hold ont ten days, and the laborers must
quenccs ofviolatng the law.
1t Is further provided that the laborer may
choose his own employer, but once choosing
shall not leave him except by consent or for
breach of contract; ard if he leaves, shall forfeit
his whole wages. The employees have lien on
the crops Tor wages and employers falling to
comply with their contracts shall be fined
double the amount due the laborers-but the
fine appears to 60 into the public treasury and
not into the laborer's pocket. The ninth section
enacts that aborers shall be responsible for all
damage to mules, horses, cattle, or Implements
and that leaving home without permission shall
be deemed disobedience, for which the fine is in
each case O dollar. "Impudence, swearing,
or indecent language" incur tho same
ponally-a Louisiana Justice Of the Peace and
two other whites being judges of what consti-
tutes impudence. Lost time brings fine OF
twenty-five cents an hour, and two dollars day.
Labor on Sunday cannot be required except t.
take the necessary care Of stock or "othci
property" which we presume the white Justices
of the Peace will construc to include sugar-cane
and cotton as in the good old days of Slavery
This statute Is limited to "laborers engaged "
agriculture and tho trades necessary thereto
when carried on on plantations i'm plain Eng
lsh--to the freedmen.
The Apprenticeship Act authorizes and re
quires certain specified officials to apprentice al
minors who sre orphans, or whose parents Dc
not maintain them, to some employer; and i
there is any doubt whether tho person to be ap
prenticed be young enough, tho white officials
shall determine that point. Being once apprcn
tced, they seem likely to remain so.
A third act, nominally to punish, in certain
cases, tho employers of laborers, is, in reality
an act to prevent any person from employing
any apprentice or any laborer who has made

contract, before the term of apprenticeship or
contract has expired. To tho Same end it is
ordained by fourth law that whoever shall ell.
tce away, feed, or harbor any person who leaves
his employer or any apprentice, shall be liable
in damages to the employer. and shall also be
subject to fine Of FIVE hundred dollars, or im'
prisonment for year, or both.

THE ATLANTIC CARLE.

The shore end of the Atlantic Cable was Ian
ded at Valentia on Saturday morning, July p,
and the work-of paying out its y miles COM
pleted. At 4.25 2. NJ. of Sunday, the 23d,
the splice with the main cable was perfected
and the Great Eastern started ON her voyage.
At 10 o'clock ON the morning of Friday, the
26th, the Great Eastern was about $50 miles
out from Vslentia, and had paid out about 500
miles of cable. At the rate of speed the Great
Eastern was then going, ifno misfortune should
happen to 1t OF the cable, she ought to have
reached tins side about Wednesday or Thurs
day of this week She may not arrive until
two or three days later.
p. S. Since the above was in type, the stea-
mer Cuba arrived from Liverpool, bringing the
information that on the 30th 700 miles of the
cable had been payed out, when Insulation was
lost This looks like the undertaking will
ploye a failure

The reader need not be reminded of the great
ability and sterling loyalty of this worthy son
of Tennessee. He is a candidate for Congress,
ard of course is talking to the people. In re-
cent speech he says:
A great clamor is made against negro suffrage.
do not think that majority of the American
people have determined to establish this meas
ure Internationally, but if you desire TO pre-
vent it, hostility TO the government will not
keep it of, but will rather hasten its establish
ment. If the nation finds that all its magnani-
nous offers to you are in vain, and that all its
efforts to reclaim arebellious population are in
vain, it will be very apt to give suffrage TO the
negro population, who have in this war proved
its fast and faithful friends. This measure, in
the event, will be adopted as an indispensable
means of establishing loyal civil government in
the South, when the seditious white population
refuse to submit to the laws and discharge their
duties as prudent citizens.
Some of YOU threaten to rebel in that CASE
You tried that once before, when you were
great deal stronger than you are now, and you
know the sad result What will your rebellion
amount TO? 1t would only give the nation good
cause for doing what it would now avoid. As
Major General Logan said in speech the other
day: Let them rebel again, that is Just what
obey the laws and turn away from those uu-
principled politicians who cry out 'Blue bellied
Yankee" ""Abolitionsts," and "Nigger Equali-
ty," to get your votes They are the same men
who asked you before the war, how you would
like to see your daughter marry "big buck mig
er t
Much has been said about the radicalism of
Chief Justice Chases views on the subject Ofne-
gro suffrage Mr.. Chase believes that as the
white UniOnists ofthe South are in the minority,
very largely SD in many localities, it will be-
come matter of absolute necessity to enfran-
chise the black population, which is universally
loyal in order to prevent the rebels from regain
ing the government of their respective States
at the ballot box. He believes that the nation
will be compelled to resort to negro suffrage for
self preservation especially for the preservation
of the white loyalists of the South. Now, the
nation was not eager to resort to emancipation,
but you forced resort TO that measure by OBJ
stinate rebellion 1t hesitated to enlist negro
soldiers, but we were forced TO arm them by the
continued rebellion of the South, and 1T found
that they made very good soldiers, and could
shoot as we'll as anybody. This revolution is
not yet over, and great many of these suhIu-
gated rebels are acting and talking very boldly.
Rest assured, that ifyOu still defy the Nation
al Government, the nation will be forced to think
seriously of putting the ballot into the hands of
loyal negroes, to enable them TO vote down the
rebellion.
The above was in type for last week paper,
but was crowded out The loyal reader will
be pleased to know that Mr.. Maynard was tri-
umphantly elected.

kentucky ELECTION.

AT the time OfgOing to press sufficient returns
of the Kentucky election have not been receiv-
ed to fully determine the result, but looks as
if the negro-selling Democracy had elected
their candidate for State Treasurer by small
majority and also the Legislature by small
majority But this is not certain. The Anti
Slavery party have made tremendous gains all
over the State, and have elected three members
Of Congress-Green Clay Smith, of the 9th
District; VIM. H. Randall of the Sth District,
and Gen. L. H ROsseau, of the 5th District.-
The Copperheads have elected Geo. S. Shank
lin. in the 9TH District certain, and have proba-
bIy carried the remaining districts The Anti
Slavery party have done nobly, much better
than we thought possible for them to do. The

TENNESSEE ELECTION.

An election was held in Tennessee on Thurs
day, August 4th, for the choice Of State Legis-
lature and members of Congress. Not more
than two-thirds Of vote was cast and the re-
suit yet in doubt so meagre are the returns.
All we know certain, is that W. B. Campbell,
rebel and copPerheads has been elected to Con-
gress in the Nashville district, and that Horace
Maynard true and gallant Unionist, has car
RED the Knoxville district. We presume the
returns win be coming along towards fall, but
the result is of no importance, as we think no
man elected from a seeded State viii get into
the next Congress.

Much of the space of the Journal to-day is
taken up with letter from Gen. J. D. Cox, the
Union candidate for Governor of Ohio, in reply
TO a communication of Messrs. FaIrchild and
Plumb, of Oberlin, on the question of negro suf-
frage. As this interrogatory will elicit much
discussion throughout Ohio, and indeed other
States of the Union, we have thought best TO
lay it before our readers without abridgement,
that each may Judge of it himself
The letter of Messrs. F. and P, Is open and
fair, so the reply Of Gen. Cox is in all respects
as undisguised and honest as any we have ever
read. Equal IN fsci, to the declsrstien of Mr.
Clay, who hsd rather be right, than be Presi-
dent"
Gen Cox was unanimously nominated by the
Union Convention which met at Columbus ON
the 2Ist of June. The representatives from
Oberlin were there and coucurred in the selec-
ton of Gen. Cox. The delegation from LOrain
county was represented on the committee which
made the platform for candidates 10 stand upon
aud upon which platform the campaign in Ohio
is this fall to be conducted The committee ap
pointed TO apprise Gen. Cox of his nomination,
submitted to him the said platform In his let
ter he accepted the nomination rendered togeth-
er with the platform. In those resolutions the
question of negro suffrage is not set forth and
has therefore nothing TO do with the present
contest The fifth and sixth resolutions declare
the views of the Union men of Ohio sufficiently
clear for all lovers of the country and universal
freedom TO be satisfied with. af
We therefore look upon the letter of Messrs.
Fairchild and Plumb, as being unwise and inn
politic-to call it by no harsher term. They
certainly knew they had gone beyond the reso-
lutions, and by it would get up side ISSUE
when nothing but the straight question of stead
fastness TO the government was anticipated
Gen. Cox, evidently does not agree with the
oberlin committee as cordially as they desire,
and the responsibility of opposing the Union
State ticket is laid upon their shoulders.
If we have not much mistaken the character
of both Messrs Fairchild and Plumb, they will
as energetically labor for the election of Gener-
al Cox as any Union man in Ohio. What sig
nifed it whether Gen. Cox was in favor ofne-
gro suffrage or opposed to it2 As Governor of
Ohio his private views on that question would
be of no more weight than any other mans, the
constitution interposing its clear path to walk
in The time may come when the question of
negro suffrage will be made test, but until it
iswe are opposed to forcing it an issue upon
the people.
We honor Gen. Cox in his answer, though we
do not agree with him in all points Yet We
shall not set forth private views. We ask
for his letter an attentive perusal, and urge ev-
cry Union man in Ohio to vote for him on the
10th of October. To all Union men we also
commend the ninth resolution of the platform,
which we believe was cordially indorsed by our
Oberlin friends at the State Convention.
