CHINESE labor in the Southern States, il is
asserted by the English journals, furnishes
the only hope Of relief 10 the cotton manu-
facturers OF Lancashire. The negroes, il Is
argued, number only two-thirds OF their
strength before the war, and are also diving
out: Again, they will not work as iudustri-
ous!y as under the compulsory system. and
the present capacity Of harvesting cotton is
believed 10 be limited TO the reduced crops
grown III the last two seasons. Furthermore.
white labor cannot be employed in the cotton
field, and the conclusion IS therefore arrived
at that the Chinese coolies furnish the only
accessible supply OF laJorers.
