ments. Any one at all couvcrsant with
the matter knows that hundreds of ap.

witnesses either for the plaintiff or de-

A Reply to Patience.

Mr.. EDITOR Though not in any

ttE6SHcUs feels himself constrained TO

dressed to him in your last issue. Re.
marks made in the spirit Of kindness

article, We are always willing, nay, glad
to meet, and reply to-
To begin at the beginning. "patience"
asks, "have you pointed to tho rightful
rcmedy'?' and We must answer from our
point of view, as We think, Eyes" The
"remedy" pointed to, is orgnnization.-
The organization of the white men of
the State for mutual aid and protection.
IF "Patience" will compare all Of the
articles written by Quercus, he can not
fail to observe that. If organization
means anarchy or "letting loose the
dogs of war;" we are sorry for it, but
still VIC must advise it. Quercus is not
quite yet so insane as to advise q gener'
al rising up in arms against existing
law. IT'S true, "force" and "blood-
shed" were terms used in the alterna-
tive. But "brutc force" is not the only
force which We know Of There is
moral force which accompanied the
"prcstigc" of thorough organization, a
force which becomes pouer when
whole community arc actuated BY one
resolve, one conviction, one common
sympathy. This force, it was advised

and then it is necessary that we should
make firm stand, and there the oppe.
sing party will meet US with equal firm
ness. Scenes enacted in this city, when
Pillsbury was put in Office, demonstra-

perhaps have been some blood split, but
the blow would have been "short, sharp

CHINESE IMMIGRATION,

The intention of the Washington Gov
eminent seems to be to interfere with the
importation Of Chinese laborers to the
South, the reason being assigned that 1t
is in violation Of Congressional law
prohibiting the introduction OF coolies
into this country. The United States
Government had just as we'll pass law
to prohibit the landing Of Germans,
Swedss, Hollsnders, or any other foreign
population who might desirs to emigrate
to the United States. The eooiie lev vas
never thought OF until after the
Memphis Convention, since which il
has been noised AROUND that Chinese
were to be preferred as laborers, in the
cultivation Of cotton, to negroes. The
philanthropic Yankee GOULD not bear To
see his dear pet, the African, oyer
slaughed by Jshn Chinaman, who is in
dustrions and attends to his own business,
and could not be made a designing tool
by carpet-baggers for selfish purposes.
The North now, as at all times since the
establishment of the Government, Il
opposed to the growing interests Of the
South, and never failed to set itseli
against measures taken for the enriching
of our people. II we mistake not the
Northern people have heretofore been the
most active in bringing i'm migrants to THU
country and settling up the wilds Of the
forests with producing laborers; but it il
the Radical OK now being gored, which
makes it q far different case, and they
must Of course oppose Chinese laborerI
coming South. II the Devil didn't have
