CHINESE LABoR.-The plan, inaugurated
in California and elaborated at the great
meeting of merchants in Memphis, of intro
ducing Cinnamon to labor in the plantations
and rice-felds of the South, seems likely to
come to grief even before it can be started.
1t appears that very few of the class who are
willing to emigrate possess the means Of COM
ing so far, and that the laws of the United
States will not allow of their being imported
with their services m~ortgaged for any period
definite or indefinite. This result seems great
ly to disappoint Southern capitalists and
planters, who have been anticipating great
/ benefits from the labors of so docile and in
dustrious a people. No doubt they will con-
tinue to arrive, but not in such numbers as
were to be hoped for under some comprehen-
sive plan of immigration but this slow
movement is far preferable to any scheme
that might have a tendency to resuscitate in
any form an institution which it cost so much
to uproot. The history of the coolic trade
in Peru and Cuba is certainly such as to make
us fear for the result of compulsory service,
promised by ignorance and hope to the blan-
dishments of a ~sOulless corporation.

How Gov. WALKER REGARDS HIS VICTORY
IN VIRGINIA.-In a speech to his old friends
and neighbors at Binghamton, lately, Gov.
Walker of Virginia gave his estimate of the
meaning and character of his success, as
follows
The late issue was not SO much a contest
as to whether Republican or Democratic SEN
timent should prevail in the state, but the
issue was whether the virtue, property and
intelligence of the state should control it, or
the organized ignorance and poverty should
misrule it. The virtue and property and in
telligence have triumphed. The poverty and
ignorance party, organized into midnight
associations, appealed to low passions and
misrepresentation, and cast their votes for
Wells and against the administration. We
have won the victory over them, and Vir-
ginia is, to-day, fully up to the requirements
If the President, and will stand by the laws
of Congress. She has gone for the govern
ment and the administration. The victory
is a relief from carpet-bag rule, and that Is
the reason it has created SO much enthusiasm
The triumph was a victory for the principle
that makes all men equal. We have knocked
the shackles off of the white men and given
the blacks their equal rights. We have given
every white man his rights under the laws,
and the rights of colored men are now better
protected in Virginia than they are in this
my native place. We are reconstructed on
the right basIs,-the principles of justice
and equality And here l beg leave to repeat
TO you that Virginia will soon take the laurel:
of empire from the brow of New York, anc
advance sn-thn dead of all the st4tes NTH,
Onlon>
If Gov. Walkers party make these word,
good nobody but Democrats will regret that
be was elected.

A letter, addressed to the Pennsylvania
Congressman, has been drawn up, and is be-
ing numerously signed by the citizens of
Philadelphia, requesting them to support
forthwith Jenekes' bill, or something like
it, that will put an end to the disgraceful
scramble for Office. The Nation says /:
Nothing more disagreeable to the average
Congressman than this mode of acting on
him can well be imagined. If you 90 to
Washington and request him to So eschew
corruption" and support the appointment to
office of the pure and good, he will EN- brace
you, invite you to take a seat on the Con-
gressional sofa, and tell you that those have
been his sentiments ever since he was a bow
in a store, but if you say you want him to
vote for a particular bill providing specially
for the exclusion of rascals and ignoramuses
from Office; or, if you ask him why he recon-
mended Brown, the notorious horset hief, for
a United States Marshalship, his counter
ance will assume an distracted mathematics
expression, and he will probably have to
rush off to listen to Smiths great speech on
the state OF the Union, in order to refute
that sophistical Copperhead's views on the
conhguration of the black mans skull and
shins
There is enough truth in this satire of the
Nation to give it point. But the fault is
not wholly that of Congressman. If the
" scramble for Office" would cease, or those
who don't get Office would quietly go about
some other business and not nurse their
discomfort and keep it fresh as the basis of
subsequent political action, seeking and get.

Pollard, in his Life of JEFF Davis, asserts
that JEFF had during the war a large private
correspondence in the North, and declares
that he once saw a document wherein Yves
tern parties offered to supply the Confederate
army for a year out of the abundant grana-
ries of their states. The same authority
declares he also had correspondents at the
Chicago convention of 1864, and managed
TO make his influence felt n that body. Mr.
Pollard's statements sound rather strong, but
there is no doubt but that a large proportion
of t~hessehives Of the Confederacy never fell

Gentlemen here, representing Republican

and by the time the President returns they
will have matters in shape to lay before him,
and hope to produce such facts as will bring
the Administration squarely out for Davis in
Texas, and for Stokes in Tennessee. The
radicals of Mississippi are not idle either
but are preparing statements which they
think must convince the President that the
cause of Judge Dent in that state is not the
cause of the administration.
We saw a statement from Washinvton the
other day to the effect that Secretary Bout
well had determined to use the patrnnace of
his Office to help some wing or faction or
branch of the politicians in Mississippi.

the administration, in all its branches, can
be in a good deal better business than using

The State constabulary of Massachusetts
are making the most earnest efforts to enforce
their Liquor Law. 1t is substantially the
same as our own, except that cider is ex-
empted from the list of forbidden beverages
and has formerly been administered in the
same spasmodic and slipshod manner. Al
though we are willing to admit that many
good men believe the law to be wrong, yet
we cannot help calling the attention of tenn
perance people to what may be done by a
hearty and systematic effort. An imperative
law must in time breed disrespect for all

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-A serious accident
occurred on the Rutland Railroad near Bar
t%onville, on Saturday last, caused by the
displacement of a switch by a careless sec
ton hand. the section master being absent
and on the train which met with the acct
dent. on his return. The locomotive threw
nearly a complete somersault, throwing out
the engineer, Mr.. Foss, and inhicting On the
former such serious injuries as the breaking
of three ribs, with sundry other bruises, but
which he will survive. The fireman, Mr..
Kinney, has several bruises and cuts about
his head and person, but is not so severely
injured as Mr.. Foss, and will be about in a
few days. The accident occurred at a bridge
crossing a creek, and it is miraculous that
no fatal injuries occurred, which was only
prevented by the cars not going of, as 1t
was IS feet to the river below. No blame
can be assigned TO any of the railroad men
for their part in the affair, unless it be the
careless section hand who left the switch
misplaced. Messrs. Foss and Kinney, the
only injured persons, did all in their power
to avert the accident, and for their GOODNESS
on the occasion are highly commended

to membership?
They didn't decide either question, but re-

the second TO the individual associations. As
women are not Young Men, perhaps the
second query might have been at once dis
posed of by a negative vote.
