The "soeIal Evil in Evansville.

Our citizens have seen much in
the newspapers about what is termed
the Social Evil" but they have
been accustomed to regard it as an
excrescence of the moral impurities
of our large cities, and have no
thought that Evansville is maintain
ing establishments and practices
which are worthy of companionship
with New York or Chicago debauch-
cries. We have not regarded it as
our special province as public jour
nal to spread before our readers the
tales of scandal and the accounts of
crime and lust which are so often
current on our streets, although such
items would be read with avidity by
a large class of newspaper readers;
yet in our reports of the Police
Courts and the daily accounts
which necessarily appear in our
City News columns, the observant
reader will have noticed enough
to assure him that our own city is not
free from the moral blight, which APP
pears so prevalent throughout the
land. Were it not that the subject is
pressing itself upon the public almost
daily, in various shapes, we would not
for the credit of the city, even allude
to it. But when the evil becomes SO

Chinese LabOrers.

The effort now being made to intro
duce Chinese laborersin various parts
of the South. to take the place of the
negroes, is attracting considerable at
tention. The negroes vote, and vote
contrary to the wishes of their former
masters. This is crime in the esti-
nation of the latter, and prescription
and persecution is resortetl to in the
way Of revenge. Experiments have
been made in Louisiana, and coolie
labor is already pronouncedsa success.
These laborers have been imported
from the island of Cuba, the importer
promising them wages at the rate of
$l4 per month. We find the follow
ing sketch of the peculiarities of the
coolies in the New York Erening Ga
zette:
They don't mind the sun while at
work, but when walking out on Sun
days use red umbrellas and fans.
Their color is light copper, hair
straight and black, like the Indians,
some shaving the head on the sides
and top, leaving cue behind. They
battle often, and wear white blouse,
reaching to their hips, pants and hop
shoes in dry weather, and when wet
go barefoot. When working In the
bitches or mud, they roll their pants
above the knees. Their beds are
made of mating, and the pillows
blocks of wood, with blouses folded
and laid on each. They use mosquito
nets on their bedding, keeping the
whole neat and in good order.
These coolies are abstemious peo-
ple-simply half a pound of pork with
one of rice constituting their rations.
This allowance would not suit our
darkies. They abhor the luxury of
the negro, corn bread, and will al
most starve before they touch it.
They are fond of potatoes and vege
tables, and will even cook weeds for
green's, and really seem to be vege-
tarians. An oppossum, stuffed with
raisins and roasted, also suits the
taste of these strange celestials.
They are neat cooks, good garden
ers, and ingenious, and whatever they
do is done well, but not quickly.
Those on the plantation speak Span
ish, and Creole manages them, act
ing as interpreter. They are always
quiet, working steadily the whole day
long, and peaceable and satisfied,
without numbering, do whatever is
required, working as freely in knee
deep ditch mud as in the field.
They cut up every weed with great
care, different from any gardeners,)
not permitting blade to escape their
notice; and with this caution, of
course, they do not 60 ahead as fast as
Sambo, who is much more careless in
his task. Although it became neces-
grass injuring the crop, the coolies
could not be induced to slight their
work. They worked among the su-
gar cane with their fingers, pulling
out all the grass and heaping the hills
handsomely with their hoes.
