The interest evoked by the change Of Com

now almost entirely deserted, and the position
of the Registrars is sinccurc. For the week
past the daily mmjorities have favored the
whites, but so few have enrolled that the as-

ADMINISTRATION DINNERS. s.-The
President gives state dinners every
week, to which he invites a certain
number Of persons of distinction,
and he has gone so far along in the
list that the House of Represents
tives is now experiencing his hospi-
tality. The guests are invited in
alphabetical order. systematic and
business-liko plan, doubtless, but
hardly the best way to gather genial
company. We see it stated that in
vitations for Tuesdays dinner have
been sent to Messrs. Ashley, Bout
well, Broomall, Banks, Bingham,
Blaine, Blow, Conkling and Colfax.
The good breeding of such dinner
party gathered at the White House
must be rather severely taxed to keep
the conversation free from unpalata-
BILE topics.

NORTH CARoIINA.-The Raleigh
Sentinel says the measures of popular
relief passed by the North Carolina
Legislature have proved Intellectual or
inadequate, and that the members
met in conference on Friday last, to
devise some additional cxpedient-
The Sentinel adds:
"From all parts Of the State, we
learn that, under the stay law of the
convention, creditors are putting
their claims in suit. In some Coun-
ties, there are from 500 to /, 900 writs
returnable to the next terms Wher-
ever there is the remotest prospect of
making good q debt, creditors are
suing. The consequence is, general
uneaslness and alarm prevails. among
the debtor class"
The Wilmington Dispatch says:
A few nights ago, our Informant
goes on to state, the sheriff Of Pitt
County was riding near the town OF
Greenville, having in his possession
a number of papers returnable to the
spring term of the court, when he
was seized by mob of persons in
disguise, and in strong force, and
stripped of all documents of the ma
ture described. The party then re-
paired to the clerks Office, in Green
vile, and destroyed all similar papers
found there. after which they quietly
dispersed.
They were so disguised as to pre-
clude any possibility of detection,
and, as yet, no clue has been found
to implicate any of the offenders.
We regret to chronicle such law
lessness, but think this is but the ma
tural result of the ruin which has
been wrought by the war, and arc
apprehensive that such disgraceful
proceedings will spread in other
quarters.

BRAZILIAN EMIGRAT1oN.-An cx-
change says letters have been re-
cclvcd from many OF the emigraut ts
who went from New York some
months since, to avail themselves of
che ''liberal'' offers Of the Brazilian
Government as to donations of land,
the furnishing them with agricultural
implements, and other facilities to
enable them to become prosperous
farmers, etc. The substance of these
letters is, that all are sorry they ever
left the United States, and would
give everything to be back. They
do not like the Brazilians, and the
BraZllians do no. like them. It is
alleged that the Brazilian Govern
ment wanted them to submit to Ger
tain conditions which would make
them but little better than slaves.
Refusing to comply, the Brazilians,
IN turn, allege that these Yankee i'm
migrants were not the kind of agri-
cnlturists the Government is desirous
OF obtaining. The upshot of the
whole matter probably will be that as
many Of them that can return home
will do so, with Is little delay as posi-
bic.

The BANKRUPT BILL. bill has
again been defeated in the Senate by
a vote Of 20 to %. If the States rep
resented in Congress were suffering
by hopeless indebtedness one-tenth
as much as South Carolina, they
would, of course, pass the bill. An
amendment was proposed to the bill,
excluding from its benefits all per-
sons who could not take the test oath;
the amendment failed, receiving out
ten votes. We suppose, if it had
passed with this amendment, the
antirelief legislators of South Caro-
lima would have been satisfied with
it, for South Carolina would have
been effectually excluded from its
benefits. 1t is fact to be remom-
bered, that the Board of Trade in
Charleston, last year, actually sent a
remonstrance to Congress against
the bankrupt law; and Charleston
has, through her representatives, des-
politically ruled the Legislature Of
this State in preventing any measures
of relief to the people, aided by a
number of mistaken gentlemen from
the country Districts. But for the
large vote of Charleston, the annual
court bill would certainly have passed
last December. GreenpWc Enterprise.

Labor for thc South.

LaOOF IOr ahc south.
We have frequently written on this
subject. The movements in the Vir-
ginia Legislature we are watching
with interest. The Richmond Times
has information that many immi-
grants, especially from Germany,
might be secured at this time, by just
and fair represent; tions OF the advan-
tags which that State possesses
(which includes the whole Southern
States) over the wild Western States
and Territories, 10 the better class OF
cmigrants
The leading European journals are
constantly referring to the fact that
among the small German land-hold-
ers and intelligent laborers there
exists a feverish desire to emigrate to
this country. The Northern hive is
disturbed by great causes, which are
not yet fully developed, but the fact
is conceded that such is the case.
They have, no doubt, been made I'M
easy by the recent wholesale dismem-
berment and dissection of empires,
kingdoms and principalities, by which
they have been transferred as uncere-
moniously as sheep by new masters
Emigrants Of this sort arc the repre-
sentatiyes cf q muck higher class Of
foreigners than those that are daily
driven in herds from Castle Garden
to the depots of the railroads of the
West, and consigned to "emigrant
societies. of Wisconsin, Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska. The Times
has the following paragraph which
applies to our own State:
''There is, at this time, q very
great deficiency Of labor, and that
which we have is of the most worth
less and unreliable description. II
all the negroes could be made to
work, there would still be not more
than o fourth as much labor as we
require to develop the agricultural
resources of the State. Agents are
needed abroad to furnish reliable in
formation TO guide the better class
of immigrants to land in Virginia
The tenant in England and Scotland
pays generally as much annual rent
per acre for his farm as would pur-
chase superior land in Virginia in fee
simple. We need agents who will
intelligently present these, as we'll as
other similar facts, to these people,
for their information about this coun-
try is of the most limited descrip-
&ion.''
We hope that our people and their
represen tatives will take this matter
into consideration. On yesterday,
we were made ua-nted with the
fact that there were several agents in
this city endeavoring to make labor
contracts for the freedmen who would
emigrate to Mississippi and other
localities in the South and South
west. Something ought to be done
to stop this nefarious traffic, and we
suggest that the State laws should be
applied. We learn that some of
these agents for negro brokers) are
in this city at the present time. We
leave the execution of the laws to the
proper authorities.

ANOTHER MAssACRE.-The New
York Times Republican) thus notices
q movement in Congress disowning
the South:
The resolution Of Mr.. Schenck,
which has passed the House by lO8
yeas to y35 nays, to provide for an
inquiry into the propriety of an i'm
mediate removal Of the United States
Naval Academy from its present To-
cation in the State of Maryland to
some point in loyal State, where
the pupils Of the institution will be
secure against the surroundings of
pestilent and social influences hostile
to the National Government which
now predominates at Annapolis, in
dicates that Congress intends to re-
gard and treat the whole of the
Southern States as power perma-
nently hostile to the Governmental
power to be dealt with ns in all re-
spects an enemy Of the North, and
to be warred upon in oil possible
ways.
If Maryland is at this dav 30 be
treated as "disloyal" State; if its
social sentiment is so "pestient''
and its population so "hostile" to
the National Government, as to pre-
clude :he existence within its bonnd-
aries of such governmental institu-
ton as the Naval School, then we
might as we'll give up the hope of
seeing any part of the Southern
States, whether Of the late Confede-
racy or not, trustworthy in support
ing the Government; and it would be
| better to establish at once military
rule over all the region South Of the
old line of Mason and Dixon-ex-
cepting only the city of Washington.
Indeed, we believe that Mr.. Schenck's
programme is really something of
this kind, and that such measures rs
this are only intended to pave the
way for it. If his opinions were put
to the test, we doubt if he would re-
cognlze any part of the population of
the country as loyal, except those
resident at Yellow Springs and Cape
