tFrom the New Orleans Picayune.l
White Labor al the South.

If we mistake not, Mr.. Gushing, Of
the Houston Telegraph, was one Of
the most earnest adherents, at one
time, of the doctrine that white
man could not, with health, or sue
cess, cultivate Southern staples or do
outdoor labor here.
The following shows quite q
healthlul change Of opinion. We
take il from the Telegraph Of the 4th
Man is creature of habits, and
there is nothing in which habit is
more manifest than in his capacity
for labor. The negro habituated to
labor on plantations, succeeds in ac-
complishing the needed work. We
have been accustomed to believe,
without questioning, that the white
man could not live and do this work.
Like other plausible theories, we
have accepted in the same way, this
seems likely to be thrown out of
groove by a great discordant fact
now coming.
The theory that white men cannot
stand the enervating heats of this
climate has, we are told, been dis
proved most completely by the ex-
perience of draymen in Houston,
Galveston, Mobile and New Orleans.
There is no work a man can do more
trying than that of draying in either
of these cities. 1t is done equally
by white and black in Houston, but
in the other cities white draymen are
largely in the ascendant. This fact
is worth a dozen arguments. But it is
said the negro can breathe more
miasm than the white man. This is
not seriously asserted, except because
IT serves purpose to assert it. We
are aware of the fact that the best
ditching in Louisiana and Texas has
been accomplished by Irishmen, who
work all the year round and accom-
plish far more than negroes, because
they work with more spirit: This
work from its very nature is done in
the midst of miasm. The ditchers
live and enjoy tolerable health, and
to the knowledge Of many readers of
this paper make a great deal of
money.
Nor are negroes in Texas more
exposed to miasm than planters and
their families, or apparently either
more or less affected by it. Miasm
is deleterious to any human being
1t, in fact, causes a great deal Of
sickness. But it is attendant upon
rich soil, and that kind Of soil grows
dollars. Accordingly the labor re.
quisite is bound to come forward.
The best cotton ever brought 10
this market is, we are told, the pro-
duction of white labor. If the cul-
ture Of cotton enticed white men into
the hot sun to work when cotton was
worth eight cents, and when it was
. compromise Of feeling TO do the
work Of slaves, what mayit do when
cotton is worth over twenty cents,
and there are no slaves to raise it?
1t is said that because the negro
has less brain, he can stand more
sun, Very possibly. But we believe
that neither the Hindoos nor the
japanese have ever been accused Of
wanting brains, and yet they stand

THE WEATHER.-lt is not perhaps neces-

been avery sudden change In the atmos-
phere from warm TO extreme cold within
the last forty-eight hours. The frosty
boards and read noses on the street make
the fact self-evident. This is one of the ee-
centrielties of our climate. Tuesday
morning was mild as April aud people sat
indoors with open windows, but before
sunset a sharp northwestern made good
fires and Overcoats Indispensable, This
morning we notice that portions OF Wolf
Greek are covered with ice strong enough
for the boys TO skate on, and the Miami is
filed with "slush" ice. The present clear
and bracing weather has wholesome and
invigorating tinge, but whether the sudden
manner In which 1t came upon us Is con-
tlucive to health, Is another question.

ESPECIAL TO CINCINNATI ENQu1RER.l
WAsutNGToN, December IL,


This Congress seems to be In very sin
gular attitude; there Is nowhere any ac-
knowledged leader.
The impression prevails among disinter-
ested intelligent observers that the radicals
will back down to the Presidents pro-
gramme OH reconstruction.
On all test-votcs taken in the House to-
day, the Democrats have gained little on
previous votes.
The work Of reconstruction Of parties
appears TO be progressing in Congress
more rapidly than that of the restoration
of States.
The caucus reconstruction resolution, ~
adopted, is regarded by the Democratic and
conservative Republican members as of
very little consequences but many regrets
have been expressed To-day on both sides
that the credentials of the Tennessee repre-
sentatiyes had been confined to the
breeches- pocket of Thad. Stevens. as chair
man Of the proposed Committee of fifteen.
In permitting this course to he taken
Raymond lost the confidence of all sides of
the House.
A very rich expose of the bargain and
corruption by which the auti-slavery con-
stitutional amendment was passed in Con-
gress is about to be made.
Some of the prominent Republicans IN
the East and West and some of the
lOudest-spoken Democrats of the East, will
figure extensively in this exposition. IL
will show conclusively the power of Ex-
ecutiye patronage among several Con-
grcssmen to direct Legislation where Il few
votes are needed.
The history of the whole transaction is TO
be exposed, In consequence of the failure
to pay the head money bargained for.
The Freedmen's Bureau hold grand eel
ebration at the Capitol Tonight. Horace
Greeley, Bishop Simpson and III. Ward
Bcecher, the fallen from grace, are TO be
