GERMAN LABoRERs. it is probable
that in short time we shall have to find
amongst the emigrants from Germany the
labor necessary to carry on the farms in
this section, it is we'll TO know what impress
sion the Germans have made as laborers in
the South since the war.
We take an extract from an interesting
communication from w. III. Wilkes, Maury
county Tennessee, to the Columbia Tenn. }
Herald
OF course, it is not fair to expect that all
emigrants from Germany will equal these,
but it cannot be denied that they are ma
ton of workers. Mr.. Wilkes says:
$50 for as my experience goes, (which is,
however, limited, 1.-THE Germans as laboring
class are among the very best that could be
induced for our farming interest. Of the
entire number brought out by Mr.. B. with
one or two exceptions, no more orderly,
industrious or persevering laborers exist in
the county than were these. You may
watch them from early to late each day,
and not one Characteristic of eye service
will you discover. They work regularly
constantly, patiently, and perservingly, and
although awkward looking to us in the use
of tools and teams, yet at night about as
much work is done as any other laborers
do. and what has been done you will always
find we'll done. In fact, you can hardly
induce one to slight his work-even by
your presence and by hurrying-that great
and Objectionable trait of Southern farm
ing. If you will let them, they will have
place for all their farming tools, and have
them in their place.
cit may surprise some of your readers
when tell them that on an average these
laboring Germans are better educated than
the white laboring classes of our country.
7 mention this not out of disparagement to
our own people, but to do justice to stran-
gers in our midst.

The Election in Brunswick.

We learn that when the votes were
counted at Smithville there were eight
Radical tickets found in the box doubled,
or rather two tickets folded together,
making sixteen-of course they should be
thrown out.
We are reliably informed that the Regis
trars for Town Creek precinct, during the
recent registration advertised to open the
books on the 7th instant. This was done,
but to his shame, be it said, one Morrill,,
candidate for the House of Commons and
Chairman of the Board, opened the books
at his own house on the 4th, there being
no other Registrar present, and there regis
tered about 70 names; and after the books
were closed at Town Creek on the 18th he
registered others at his residence in the
presence of another member of the Board.
These facts come to us from reliable par
ties, and there is no reason to doubt their
truth.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1868-05-01
The Election.

From our reports and from private tele-
grams we fear that the Constitution has
been ratified by the people. We make
the acknowledgment with sad heart, for
if it be really so, we believe, unless re-
lieved by the votes of the Northern people,
there is u dark future for North Carolina.
We are satisfied the result is owing
mostly to frauds in registrations and at the
polls. Still more white men have been found
10 vote for their own dishonor than We
were prepared to believe would do so.
The Western people do not appreciate the
evils of negro suffrage like we do, and
their fears have been aroused by threats of
confscation and war. The white people of
the East have done nobly. With few ex-
captions they have voted their full regis
tered strength, and they have nothing to
blame themselves for if the humiliation of
North Carolina flows from the issue. -
When the result is definitely known we
shall have more to say. In the meantime,
let us hope that the people of the extreme
Western counties have saved the election
and rejected the infamous Constitution.

There is bill before the Massachusetts,
Senate, presented by Mr.. Fuller, the OBJ

of forest trees for timber and lumber, and
for fuel. The main feature of the bill is
an exemption from taxation of such ground
and trees for period of years, which vary
according to the value of the tree to be cui.
tivated. It also authorizes agricultural so.
