WELL DONE, MR.. CHIEF JUSTICE.

Whatever may be said of the political
eccentricities of Chief Justice Chase, all
mer must concedc that he is a man of
admirable dignity, and that he knows how
to assert himself with most becoming
and magisterial grace. The truth OF
this was superbly exemplifed, a few
days ago, when in full robes of Office in
the Supreme Court. 1t appears that
Attorney General Hoar, corrupted by
Ben. Butler as we'll as instructed, has re-
Gently presumed so far as to treat the
Judges of the Court with curtness and
disrespect. The World tells the story
of his insolence and the rebuke it elici-
ted, thus:
"In the progress of speech by him
the venerable Justice Nelson inquired !:
what is the page of authority you are
quoting, Mr.. Attorney General = To
which the man whom ex-General Grant
gave Cabinet place in exchange for
library: May it please the court, | de-
cline to be interrupted in my argument
Whereupon the Chief Justice, assuming
upon his younger shoulders The affront
directed at his associate and incidentally
rejecting upon the whole bench, brought
the Massachusetts Attorney to his knees
at once by saying: 'Mr. Attorney Gen
eral, you will cease in your argument for
the present. This court, as you will
learn when you have become used to its
amenities, reserves the right to question
at any time any of its counsellcrs on any
point whatever. Your rejoinder to the
question of my associate is inadmisable !;
and when you have apologized to the
court for language which we must say
was never heard here before, you may
proceed, but not until that is DONE
Wbereupon the legal bully collapsed and
meekly begged pardon, which itpleased
the court to allow. Looking at Mr..
Grants special pieader's demeanor in the
Yerger argument on Tuesday it is plain
that The Chief Justice must give him an
other humiliation to bring him to his prop
er place"
1t is melancholy thing to know that
a u. S. law officer should have the con-
spicuous and isolated notoriety that now
attaches to this Massachusetts, man, Hoar.
But it is equally a subject of congratula-
ton, and it may be of future hope, that
a Chief Justice still exists who has not
been altogether abashed by the shadows
of the rising Imperialism Constitution

CHINESE LABOR.

A Georgian, resident in San Francis
co.., Cal, writes cordially recommend
ing the Chinese to the South. He
says.
"Chinamen are the laborers that
Southerners want. And the effort now
being made to introduce them is move
in the right direction. l hope that
every Cotton State will be fully repre-
sented at the Memphis Convention this
month, whose object is to devise the
plan for getting Chinese to cultivate the
fields o@ho South.

sixteen years, and am quite familiar
with the character of the Chinese who
labor and can confidently say to all that
they are good and Industrious mcn-the
very people for you to make contracts
with-thoy never violate a contract
They are industrious frugal and sober
have never yet seen one ofthem drunk
or disorderly, on the contrary they keep
to themselves, live peaceably, without
feuds of any kind, and work from jan
uary to January, patiently tOiIing from
morn until night.
In this State there is great hatred Of
this people, as they work at much less
figures than the Yankee or any other
people can work, and their rapid in
crease here is looked upon as the sure
downfall of the price of labor of every
description.
Cinnamon will in one year cultivate
all your fields for yop with greate
profit than ever before. Your lost ne
grocs, in three years or less, will be for
gotten. This is labor that you may b.
sure will be performed from year t
year without the interference of any bu
reau, and good crops will be the resul
at the close of each season. China an

THE CASH SYSTEM.

The LaGrangc Reporter calls for a
convention of the Publishers to regulate
the paying system-perhaps a schedule
of prices. Association can control moth
ing Of the kind. Assemble in Atlanta
and you will find the press there in

no remedy for this, hut under the Sher-

since the first Monaghan laboror landed
in California. Now they are every
where on the Pacific slope. They have
reached the great interior basin, and
their camps are at the base of the Wah-
sach mountains. The new towns along
the Platte will soon have their Chinese
quarters. Soon the Cinnamon will cease
to be curiosity in the villages of Hi
nois aud Ohio, where six months ago
men, women and children gathered
around the first Celestial" who had
crossed the Mississippi from the West.
! We arc wont to talk of the pauper labor
Of England To eastern manufacturers
here is offered cheaper labor at their
doors-labor which will think itself well
rcmunerated by wages upon which
British operatives could not keep them
selves out of the poor house; which will
not get up "strikes" from trades unions,
or clamor for cight-hour laws; but which
viii toll uncomplainingly twelve hours
of the day, not even asking for Sundays.
1t can be had, too, without stint or linn
it; for, other 400, 700, China can
spare 100000 annually and feel a re-
lief from their abstraction.
In view Of the existing facts and in
evitable tendencies can safely predict
that in ten years there will be hundreds
of Chinese operatives in Lowell, Law
renee, Manchester and every large man
ufacturing town of New England; in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and all
the great Atlantic cities, thousands Of
these "Cclestials," with long cues and
yellow countenances, will be doing the
kitchen and chamber work. In the
cotton and rice fields of the South these
sallow Mongolians will supplant the
ebony Africans, and the negro now so
potent, politically, will be ordered to
'move on" Superior industry and the
force of numbers will drive him to the
wall.
Politicians on this coast have talked
of making laws TO prevent Chinese emf
grafton. Let them first pump dry the
broad old ocean over which they cross
to this continent. There is "Highcr
Law" which is bringing the Oriental
race to our shores, and you might as
we'll attempt to measure arms with the
Almighty as to prevent it. 1t would
seem as if, tired of waiting for Christian
ity to go into all the world. Omnipo-
tence is bringing the hcathen world and
placing them down in our midst, in the
shade of our temples, by the side of our
affairs, in order that Christianity and
Paganism, in this age of power, shall be
brought into close and deadly conflict.
The law of assimilation is one of
Gods laws, sure and inevitable in its
development. These two civilizations
cannot remain fot long period in such
close contact without becoming more
and more alike. Either we shall lift
them up, or they will drag us down
This latter cannot be the result, unless it
is indeed written that the youngest born
of the nations must, in its early man
hood, follow the path and meet the doom
of Babylon, Ninevah and Rome, and
leave to some new and stronger race that
nobler and higher development which is
yet within our province to achieve.

HOW MUCH LOWER CAN WE sTooP :
It is now understood that the admins

plying in all cases the iron clad oath.
The Savannah NeteS turns to Georgia
and asks what have we to gain by get
ting into the Union at the price Of all
that is estifnable in Southern charac-
teri
The truth is we have already per force
stopped, low down, and it is very ques-
tionable il we can stoop any lower. At
the nod of Andy johnson we did things
conqueror only could command. by
Congressional DEGREES we were formally
coersed under military despotism and
forced to srbvert the popular basis OF
orr government cndowing negroes with
the elective franchise and depriying a
large class of white peopole of that pre-
rogative. We haye thus stopped to rad
zeal authority and have rendered popu-
BAR government so utterly disgusting
that it is doubtful if there is any lower
deep in political disgrace to which re-
publicanism can descend. 1t is, certain
ly, while radicalism preserves its ascend
ancy and keeps us powcrlcss from the
fact of our refusal to stoop again at its
behests, folly, to adhere to that refusal,
and not let radcaIism for the time have
Its way. Heaven forbid that we should
approve of the infamous usurpatioas by
which radicalsm has sought to retain
power; or that, stoop now per force as
VIC may, we should ever hesitate when
the proper moment arrives to trample |
under foot the whole Infamous proce-
dure of the overthrow of Constitutional
liberty and our own degradation. In
the meantime let us get political power

rest to Providence and ourselves.

soUND ADVICE.

The Journal DC Messenger of Mace
closes with the following judicious re
Prospect of the past and views Of tn
present and future:
aBy the war we lost at one blow thu
accumulated wealth Of two centuries
we lost our liberties, we lost all those
rights, privileges and immunities which
I we had enjoyed for three quarters OF
century, and we lost the protection Of
that Constitution which we thought tc
to be the embodiment of the perfection
of human government. We may not
have lost them fairly. They who de-
prived us of them may not admit that
we have lost tkcm. They may pretend,
as they do, that everything they have
done, are doing and may yet do, is
warranted by the Constitution. But it
is not the less true practically that VIC
have lost all that we have stated, and it
is equally true that Democracy, Wing
gerry and State Rights can no more help
us to retrieve our loss than we can bring
back to earth the great founders Of those
parties, and get them to "invoke the
genius of the Constitution" in our be-
half.
We can, however, recover all that we
have lost. We have great future if
we only act wisely. We can regain our
liberties and our power, and be the most
prosperous people on the earth; but we
can never do so if we lose our time and
waste our energy rummaging in the po-
litical dust-hcap Of the past, and trying
to fan into flame, the expired cinders
of dcfunct political parties. Instead of
constantly invoking the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions, let us apply our
hands and our brains to develop and
utilize the limitless resources with which
Providence has surrounded us. Instead
of proftless wrangling over the past, let
us look to the present and future. In
stead of mourning tho wealth we have
lost let us go to work to acquire new
and greater wealth. Instead of adding
our brains by a vain retrospect of the
perfection of the social system that no
longer exists, and never can exist again,
let us use our intelligence to found
another system suited to the times in
which we live. The intelligence,
knowledge and capacity of the white
race must prevail in shaping the dosti-
MICS of our country, and enterprise, in
dustry and skill, can not fail to secure
our material prosperity. BY union,
Justice, obedience to law, stcadfast pur-
suit of the right, an honest falfilment of
our obligations, and by doing to others
as we would that they should do to US,
we can found and maintain good govern
mcnt, secure liberty and independence,
and enjoy domestic peace; but if we
spend our time in an attempt to galvan-
ize the dead party organizations of the
past, we need only expect disappoint-
ment and defeat.
