CooLIE LABOR AT THE SoUTH.-The Le-
gislature of Tennessee provided for m
Emigration Commission, and Rev. Hermann
Bokam is in our city in the capacity of
commissioner. His views as to the real
need of the South are correct. They do not
accord with the movement toward China for
laborers. He says that the trouble with the
South has been the want of n solid middle
class. There had been until very lately
the aristouracy Of planters and shareholders
on the one hand and the slaves and igno-
rant poor whites on the other. No middle
class had existed to carry forward progress
sive ideas and insure social and political
stability. Hence the war and the great
debt that now oppresses the nation. Mr..
Bokam properly regards the efforts now be-
ing made to obtain millions Of coolies as
unfortunate, since they arc calculated to
supply the place of the late slaves on the
plantations, and to prevent the building up
Of the much-needed middle class. He says
that the Germans of Tennessee will array
themselves against these new attempts to
virtually rcGstablish slavery, and it is to be
feared that the Chinese question will be-
come one of great magnitude and embar-
rassment throughout the whole country

Of the Memphis convention which caught
at k8opmanschap's offer of coolies as an
other 'way to develop the South" the hcw
York Post says:
"It is pitiful to see men who pretend 10
lead and inform their ncighbors still drircl-
ling abeut 'new ways to develop their
States, and catching eager at etety 1ncans
of reviving that system of slave-labor which
has been the curse of the southern States,
and the cause, the only cause, that they are
less populous, and that their people arc less
wealthy and prosperous than the region
further North. No new way is needed. There
Is in 5ld way; way which has devel.
oped dozen States, all less favored
by nature than any southern State
way which has made the northwest
great, powerful, wealthy, energetic, intelli-
gent; which has filed large Iegion with
an intelligent, thrifty people; which has
built up rich commonwealths while men in
southern States were holding conventions
and talking; which has made the West the
wonder of the world. Free labor brings
civilization, with all its peaceful arts: it,
varied industries, its intelligcnce-all which
combine to make free government possible.
"Coolien labor, which is slave labor, will
bring only more barbarism, more violence,
more DISCRIMINATION, vice and lawlessncss,
and will drive off, as siirely as the old slave
labor did, the free laborcrs-the enterprls-
ing, active, intelligent, industrious poPula-
ton on which every State must depend fol-
its glory and true prosperity"

CHARGED WITH POCKET -PICKING.- .-Satur-
day morning negro boy named Charles
Courtney was arrested for picking the
pocket of Richard Reid, a country darky,
of $3.50. He was carried to the station
house, and afterwards brought before the
Mayor. From Reid's testimony it appeared
that Courtney had approached him in q
friendly manner on the street and asked
him "whar he had bin keepin hisself oil
the time" Reid, who had never seen him
before, answered politely, when he imme-
diatcly claimed acquaintance, exclaiming :
"Why, lor, don't you know me3 Don't you
remember dat day when you was on de
street an was on de street, and I com long
an you was standin on de street ?" No;
l nuver seed you befo." "Yes you did /;
you was talkin to a gal" While this was
going on Courtney was fumbling about Reid
in the most familiar manner, and when he
left Reid found his money gone. Courtney
was arrested, and found with some money ;
but having proven by his employer that he
had given him the money to buy milk with,
the Mayor discharged him.

V1RGINIA--IIER PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
ISG.-The New York Journal Of Commerce
refers thus hopefully to Virginia's imme-
date and future prospects:
Richmond papers note decided i'm
provement in real estate prospects since the
election. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed
for effects to show themselves, but it may be
judged from many indications that there
will soon be an increased demand for Vir-
ginia lands. Some people have doubts about
the recognition of Virginia as State under
the Walker government, but these will pro-
badly not be realized. After some little OPP
position from extreme Radicals, Virginia
will be let in, and her senators and repre-
sentatives will take their seats. In antici-
patton of these events, movements to emi-
CRATE to the old State are now on foot in
several parts of the North. A number of
gentlemen in New Jersey are spoken of as
having organized and appointed n committee
to 90 to Virginia and inspect lands offered
them by General Imboden, the immigration
agent of the State. They intend to buy
farms of from 500 to 1000 acres apiece, il
prices and other conditions are favorable
From the reconstruction of Virginia on a
Conservative basis will date the era of re-
newcd prosperity, greater, perhaps, than
she has ever enjoyed before"

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.-Under this caption
the New York Times says:
Disfranchisement and disabilities arc
as dangerous as now they are unnecessary
The republican instincts of the American
people revolt against them. They are M
cver-prescnt memorial Of strife which VIZ
should endeavor to forget-a constant source
Of irritation, fostering on one side misuse
of power, and on the other n sense of harsh
ness which makes hearty reconciliation vir'
tually impossible,
at remains for the President to guard
against the revival of prescription by the
arbitrary action of the district commanders
as is evidently contemplated by Genera
Candy in Virginia. The President has al
opportunity of perfrcting a work which IL
the case of Virginia owes much of its sue
cees to his broad and generous policy.
1.-The value of the service rendered by
General Grant in this connection is Ell
hanccd by the pressure to which he has
been subjected by the selfish schemer:
whose intolerance takes methodical anC
even a profitable shape. Wendell Phillip:
is not alone in demanding the proclama
ton of martial law. over the South nor Dc
the Virginia supporters of Wells lack back
ers in their attempt by fraud and false
hood to Illustrate the election in that State
Phillips's demoniac haste knows no bounds
and the hypocrisy of the Wells party II
equally unscrupulous."

TIE CANAL-BoAT RoBBERY.-The CONT
nucd case of Boiling Davis (negro), charged
with robbing the canal-boat "Cumbcr-
land," was called before the Mayor Satur-
day morning. Boiling, who complained
bitterly of injustice, and said that he had
"nevcr done nothin, and dcy was jess try
ing to persecutc him becase he was poor
colorcd man." AS soon as he was released
on the day of his first appearance, said that
he "want gwine come back to dat cote no
more untwel he had done sumpin to come
dar for.n His bondsmen, upon hearing
this, gave him up to the authorities, not
wishing to 90 his bail after this declaration.
The consequence was that Boiling had to
spend the night in the station-house for not
keeping his tongue. His case was further
continued until Friday. Boiling having
given new bail was released.

The San Francisco Democracy, q year
ago, stood pledged to the following rcsolu-
ton
"That the late treaty made with China
by the Republican party, whereby this
country is to be overrun by Cinnamon,
having privileges equal to the most favored
nation, is unwise, unjust, unequal, oppres-
sivc to the laboring man, and disgrace to
the nation
And the California Republicans, in a
State Convention which assembled at San
Francisco Thursay, passed a resolution Civ
ing preference to the laborirg classes OF
d" our own race" opposing Chinese suffrage
in any form, and also any change of the
naturalization laws. The Californians
know the Chinese.

Wells, Senter and Stokes, Of Dent, or of
Hamilton and Davis, The real is whether,
having won the national fight, got q more
than " "apple-tree surrender, we shall turn
round after this, our political Appomattox,
and make a more than disastrous Sherman
Johnston armistice, surrendering much of
what we have dearly won, on renewed pro
testation of accepting the situation" :"
The parallel is complete one. Sherman

fear or act of resistance to ofer.-CorTe-

For GENERAL CANBY.-The New York
Tribune of the 23d says:
ave fail to see the wisdom Of the deci-
sion General Candy is said to have reached
to compel every mcmber-elect in the Nir'
ginia Legislature to take the ir0n-clad oath
before admission to his seat. We cannot
see the necessity of imposing exactions in
the case of Virginia that were not though:
ncedful for Louisiana, and we judge the
Presidents decision to submit the question
to the Attorney General Il wise one. What
ever may be the result: We hope nothing
will he done to drive into the Opposition

the new situation of affairs, and who stand
ready to ratify the fifteenth amendment
Let us take the good We can get, and not
imperil the amendment by clamoring be-
cause We cannot get more"

A telegram from Madrid states that the
Pope has given an affirmative reply to the
question whether the Spanish priests were to
take the oath of fidelity to the new consti-
tuition. His Holiness is not disposed TO create
any disturbance, nor to set the clergy in
hostility to the law. But it must not be
concluded that he approves of a constitu-
ton in which the principle of free worship
is recognized. On the contrary, his Holi-
ness in his last allocution bitterly bewailed
the evils which aiflict the church in Spain,
and freedom of worship he thinks is deci-
dedly one of them.
