impossible to determine this question.
The cost of Chinese labor, like everything
else, will be determined by the quality,
supply, demand, and kind of work to be
performed. The Chinese live cheap.
know how to drive bargain, and, like
other people, will get all the money they
can for their labor. In their own country
where labor is abundant, their wages are
a mere trife. 1t was estimated in the re-
port of the Committee on Labor in the
Memphis Convention, that prices would
range from So to s12 per month, accord

The Iuka Gazette, lamenting that
most of the Democratic papers in the
State, favor coalition with the moderate
Republicans, consoles itself with the fact
that the = Handsboro Democrat, Spec
tator, Holly Springs Reporter, and Cen
trail Star, and the Gazette, continue to
float the Democratic banner undefiled to
the breeze.
1t remembers that FIVE righteous peo-
pie might havesaved Sodom, and hopes
that these five papers may redeem the
Democratic party of Mississippi But
the Central Star has expressed willing
ness to strike hands with the Conserva-
tives Republicans in the attempt to save
Mississippi from Radical Rule.
We fear the new Sodom will have to
burn, unless the Gazette can find another
unterrifed" Democratic paper to add
to its list

The laying of the French cable is near
ly completed. The company which has
it in charge, consisting of French and
English stockholders, claim that they
have right to land it upon Massachusetts,
shores, by virtue of authority from the
Legislature of that State. Congress has
not given its consent. 1t is well estab-
lished that the jurisdiction of a State ex-
tends no further than low water mark.
If it is landed without the permission of
the government, win not this be violation
ofinternational law? The Attorney Gen
eral of the United States so argues.
Massachusetts, true to her record, is con-
tinually attempting to exercise powers
that she has not. She should be recon
structed.

Bourbons BEGINNING 40 Learn.

The New York World, which is recog-
nlzed by Gov. Hoffman and the Tamma-
ny sachems as the organ of the Democ-
racy Of the Empire State, advises the
National Democracy to abandon opposi-
ton to negro suffrage, and to treat it
henceforth as settled question. 1t says
truly, that the important question is not
whether the negrow shall vote, but hOsO
ne shall vote, and argues that sensible
people should address themselves to the
solution Of this problem.

The Richmond Wing, in speaking of
the attempts which are being made by the
defeated Radicals in Virginia to repossess
the offices from which they have been
driven by the people, says:
''what is it they wells & Coz will not do
to carry their peint-a point so vital to
them? Evidence, affidavits, oaths, false
charges-why, they will pile them up until
VIII be stuffed full of them, and the cars and
Aqua Greek steamboats, will groan under
the weight of perjury they bear to the Re-
construction Committee at Washington.
Virginia is now undergoing what Mis-
sissippi experienced last fall, during the
fight before Congress. 1t appears, from
what the Wing says, that the earpet-bag-
gers and scalawags in that State under
stand as well how to manufacture false
testimony as did the Committee of Five,
of unenviahle notoriety. And we pre-
sumo that there viii be committee APP
pointed to wait upon Congress next De
cember, selected, as was the Committee
of Sixteen, with an eye to their ability in
hard swearing. We trust that they will
meet with the same success as was meted
out to Fisher, Eggleston, & Co., who
gained, according to Lynch's Colored Cit
izen, the contempt of Congress"

The forlorn hope of the Radical party
in this State, composed Of Mckee and
Tarbell, and led by Ames, are still in
Washington. They propose TO carry the
White House by storm, and bring Judge
Dent captive to Mississippi. Unless this
is done our Governor-General fears his
chances for the United States Senatorship
will continue to grow by degrees beauti-
fully less.
