FAEFEELEGE ETIGRAETg

The tribulations of our Southern breth-
ren, in regard TO labor, are not confined
% the negroes, as the following facts
strikingiy demonstrate. The fact that
emigrant ships are constantly arriving in
New York, with hundreds of hardy ad-
venturers, seeking fortunes in the new
world, having attracted the attention of
Southern planters and farmers, since
the loss Of their negroes, many Of them
have gone on and brought out these
emirrants, and established them
as tenants, or employed them as la
boFers. Among those who sought 70 re-
vive their business in this way, was a
Mr.. J. J. MhoOn, and some associates,
living mesr Memphis. This gentleman,
on reaching New York, found Castle
Garden filled with emigrants unable 10
get away for want of funds. He very
readily made engagements with them to
20 with him 10 Memphis, and settle on
his farms and in his town houses, TO work
for hiIa at customary wages, on bis
agreeing to pay their railroad ex-
penses. Accordingly he Glled a car with
them, men, women and children, 20 the
uumileT Of sixty, paid their fare, amount
ing 4. about one thousand dollars, and
started West. The arrangement worked
satisfactorily until they arrived here yes
terGay morning While waiting at the
depot of the Little Miami Railroad. for re-
shipment on a boat 10 Memphis, in
me sbssuce of Mr.. MhOon, they were
instigated, either by their own mis-
trust or by friends who met them
there, to desert their enterprising
baneiactar, and in very short time
their big trunks and little boxes were
thrown into express wagons, and the
whole crowd started for over the Rhine
all excepting two or three cid women,
who could not be induced to violate their
promises, and their trunks were taken
with the rest. When AiT. MhOOn re-
turned 10 the depot he found his white
laborers, on whom he had paid fifteen or
twenty dollars apiece, had taken to their
heels like SO many runaway slaves,
and with them went his bright
prospects of early and large
crops and big prices. He be-
and called al the Hammond street sta
ton House, but Lieut.. Small informed
him thet since the repeal Of the fugitive
slave law there mad been nothing CORES
ponding 10 it enacted for white Iab0rers
who didn't choose 20 work in Tennessee
or Mississippi We are sOTTy for this en-
teTprising eentlemsn-think the emil
grants treated him very shabtily, and
believe they might have done better with
him than 20 stop here where there is 50
much competition fer employment

guarantee on the part Of the applicant, It
valves its right to exact, and asks as a con-
ditlon Of admission the adoption Of certain
principles The moment that the applicant
accepts these propositions, the contract is
binding on both parties, and the new State is
entitled to representation.
So It is with the Constitutional amendment
rejected by Georgia. She has perfect right
to reject the proposition same right as
Territory has to reject the Constitution
submitted to 1t by Congress, as Congress has
also tie right to refuse admission until Its
terms are agreed to. And Congress, having
that right, will exercise it, il the South ex-
cludes itself until the last trumpet shall
sound.
If the State OF Georgia, so called through
courtesy, should accept the amendment she
would be at once admitted. The precedent
in the case of Tennessee renders that certain.
She would once more enjoy all her old rights
and be a full State by the recognition of q on
gress. But let her beware. The door is not
always open, and the easy conditions now
submitted, if persistently scorned, will be
succeeded by others which will compel her to
pass under yoke to which the iron collars

appear, by comparison, as golden ornaments.

traitors, and they who now refuse the prof
fered hand may ere long be compelled to kiss

The Great meteoric Showers.

The Great meteOTic Showers.
PROFESSOR NEWTON, Of Yale College, and
other scientific men Of this country and
Europe have predicted that on next Wednes-
day morning the earth will pass through
nebulous group OF wandering bolies or aste-
roids, and that the result will be stand dis
play Of meteors, or shooting stars. In order
that our readers may be fully apprised OF the
character of this magnificent display of
heavenly fireworks. we publish on our eighth
page to-day carefully prepared and illus
trated article, which gives the history OF
similar phenomena in the past. 1t will well
repay perusal, even in case the shower of
stars should not come of according to the
programme laid down for it.
But so confident are the savans who have
predicted the tri-centeunial recurrence of the
meteoric phenomenon on a orander scale
than any heretofore witnessed, that pre-
parations are being made to observe il
throughout the world. Owing, however, to
the intricacy of the calculations on
which the prediction is based. together
with the insufficient data OF reliable char
acter at their command, the wise men have
been unable to say that the exhibition will
occur at any precise point of time. 1t will
therefore be necessary for those who wish to
witness it to be on the lookout on Tuesday
morning as well as on Wednesday. Tue
authorities of Boston have determined to save
its citizens the necessity of this prolonged and
wearisome night. watpb by announcing the arri
val of the stars, whenever it may occur. by the
general ringing of the flre-alarm bells. This
suggestion is good one, and we would call
the attention OF our own authorities to the
subject by requesting them to make similar
arrangement for arousing the people. When
the whole heavens are on fire, there can be
no objection to sounding q general alarm.

The California Terminus of the Pacific
Railroad.

The public are getting pretty well posted as
to the progress OF the two Eastern terminal
branches of the Pacific Railroad. II is in
teresting to know that the work is being
vigorously prosecuted on the California ter
minus. The President of that portion of the
road has just made report to the Secre-
tary of the Interior, from which we
learn that the road is in operation as
tar as Cisco, within twelve miles of
the summit OF the Sierra Nevada, distance
OF ninety-four miles from Sacramento The
work near the summit is of heavy and diff
cult character, involving The construction of
two tunnels, respectively 1900 feet and 900
feet in length. The heaviest grade thus far
made is one OF 116 feet to the mile, and tor
distance Of only three and one-half miles.
1t is believed that Salt Lake will be reached
from the California side during the next four
years. From present Indications, the same
point will be reached equally soon from this
side. We shall not be surprised to behold
the cars running through to San Francisco
before the 1st day OF January 1870.

Horace Greeley Proposed for the Senate.
The Legislature of New York, at its next
session, will have United States Senator to
elect. The New York Herald, in banter
ing, half serious article, proposes the name of
Horace Greeley as a candidate. The State
of New York might do great deal worse,
and could hardly do much better, than to send
Mr.. Greeley to the Senate. On the grounds
of party services he is eminently entitled to
the seat, but on the higher grounds of fitness
for the duties OF the position, wise compre-
hension of the demands of the age and coun-
try in which we live, and especially as the
lifelong foe OF official corruption, extrava-
gance, and dishonesty, should we rejoice to
see Horace Greeley in the United States
Senate. His election to that Office would be
a matter Of public congratulation throughout
the entire country.
