Labor--Anosncr Social Problem.

Lnbor--AnoShcr Social Problem.
A San Francisco correspondent of
Northern paper, writing on the i'm
migration of the Chinese coolies,
thinks that the next social problem
will be the status of the Chinese. In
a few months or years, the Chlnaman
vii cross the Rocky Mountains and
begin to fill up the Valley of the
Mississippi AS soon as the Pacific
Railroad is completed, the path will
be open to him. The writer states
that millions can still be accommo-
dated in the mines there; but that
the South, with its fields of cotton,
rice and sugar, is the proper place for
the coolies, and argues that as the
South is now prostrated by the
ravages of war and the effects of
famine, they are needed to recupe-
rate her exhausted energies.
We learn that, on the 1st of Janu-
ary next, the Colorado, pioneer Of
q new line between San Francisco
and China, will commence her trips,
and every arrival will bring from
1000 to 1900 to that port. Capital
lists, it is said, are already discussing
the question of contracting with
Chinese companies for an immense
number of coolies to cultivate the
cotton fields of the South for term
of years, at a much cheaper rate than
negro labor can be obtained.
In all this, we can perceive nothing
more than the opening of sort of
slave trade. Nor do we believe that
the coolie is equal, in any respect, to
the negro of the Southern States. A
late San Francisco paper says that
these coolies are demoralizing blight
to any community in which they are
domiciled. They are active and in
genious, but are filthy, thievish and
vile in every respect. The San Fran
cisco journal says:
''They are brought to this city as
merchandise, to be parceled out on
the labor market, with no other con-
ditlon than the supply of their ami
NAL wants and their return home,
living or dead, at the end of the term
contracted for. Very few of them re-
ture alive, but continue to work on
their own account, after the expira-
ton of their term of service, and after
death their bodies are picked up and
transferred to the 'Flowery King
dom, annually
We would wager that the ''compa-
MES" trading underregular or assumed
names are Massachusetts, men, who,
loving the negro, are willing to turn
penny by trafficking in the dusky
heathens. For our own part, we be-
lleve, and we think that the planters
of the South will agree with us,
that they would prefer the civilized
and Christianized blacks to those
sooty heathens, provided they could
induce the former to work. The la
Dor the South now requires is the
Intelligent white from the countries
of Europe

A SENSIBLE AND Practical BU-
REAU.-The Waco tTexas) Register
says:
eve have been requested by Major
Manning, the Bureau agent at this
place, to say that there are no more
freedmen in this County than are re-
quired to save the cotton crop, and as
they have all entered into contracts
with the farmers here, none will be
allowed to go out of the County.
The major says that the cotton crop
of this year shall be gathered, and to
secure this object he will devote the
whole Of each weeL-Fridays and Sa-
turdays excepted-to visiting the
plantations in this and adjoining
Counties. On Fridays and Satur-
days he will attend to such other br-
siness in the line of his duties as may
be necessary. in his Office in Waco"

The CorToN Crop. A highly in
telligent gentleman, writing to the
PAenir, from Enterprise. Mississip-
pi, says:
'tSome friend sent me your paper,
and see you have inserted in it the
report of the Mississippi Cotton
Growing Association, which leaves
the impression that there will be
something like 100000 bales of
cotton raised this year. Since the
ASSOCIATION made that report, there
has been a great falling off Of the
cotton crop.
We had six weeks dry weather here
in the West, which caused the cotton
to cast off fully one-half of its cron
In the Mississippi Valley and adjacent
section, the rot, the boil and sher-
man worms, have effected hecron

REGULATIoNS FOR THE WEIGHING AND
MARKING OF CoTTOT.-Ihe Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, with the approval of
the Secretary of the Treasury, has lust is
sued additional regulations concerning the
weighing and marking Of cotton in which
he states that, sl"e the publication of
former regulations on that subject, it has
been determined to provide metallic tag,
to be used by the assessor, or under his
oversight, at the time the cotton is first
weighed, i'll place of the. ''tax-paid" tag
heretofore used; and, also, to appoint
wcighers of cotton in certain localities.
Consequently, the aforesaid regulations
have been modified in several important
particulars, to which the attention of as
SCISSORS and collectors is directed. The
appointments of weighers of cotton will
be made under the authority conferred by
section eight of the Act of July 13, 1866,
upon the Secretary OF the Treasury, who
will appoint, on the recommendation Of the
assessors of the respective districts, suita-
bic persons to weigh and mark cotton at
those designated places for weighing.

of labor may be so great that the assistant

THE ATTEMPTED AssAssINATIoN.-
The Indianapolis Herald publishes a
list of prominent citizens, Office
holders and others, who were en-
gagged in the recent disgraceful riot
in that city, by which the President
was prevented from speaking. 1t
boldly charges that the riot was in
cited in order to cover the assassina-
ton of Mr. johnson. One pistol
shot, evidently aimed at him, struck
within few feet of his head. The
evidence of youth is given to the
effect that he was paid five dollars
to hurl stone at the President, and
further proof is adduced that despe-
rate characters were brought from
other places to engage in the riot.
Threats were openly made for several
days before the visit of the President
that he should not leave Indianapolis
alive. Such are the legitimate fruits
of radicalism

The New YORK PRESS. A letter

Only week ago, Ben. Wood sold

Saturday the World was without the
necessary financial facilities for pay
ing the weekly wages of the en-
ployees. Does this look like healthy
party? In the face of such an ex-
hibit, is it not cheeh,, pure and simple,
for these men to talk about making
Democratic Johnsonian Governors,

indications of power and progress are
welcome to the solace they administer.

ANDERSON. We make the follow
ing extracts from the Anderson Intel
Hgence,.:
On Tuesday last, large number of
citizens from this District, probably
100, began their pilgrimage to the
El Dorado of the West, the far famed
land of the clone star" While wish
ing that prosperity may attend the
substantial, energetic farmers who are
thus led to forsake the homes of their
youth and manhood--among them we
count many friends, and those who
were comrades with us in hours of
danger and triai-we cannot but
deeply regret that the old State is
being depopulated in this wholesale
manner. She needs all the energies
and strength of her sons to recupe-
rate and recover from the losses of
war, and can lily afford to part with
those who were truest and tirmest in
their allegiance to her fortunes. here
