Mr. MedIn, ohs n tbe editors NJ
Che Chicago Tribune, az intensely
Radical sheet, bas been on q Walt 10
tho HOutb, aud written aaymal able
letters 10 HE paper, from Louisiana,
describing the country aud the
people. IIo saya land ean be-
bought In the Alakapas country
for Gvo or ton dollars per acre, which,
II II could be- transferred 10 Illinois
or the West, with climate and other
advantages, would sell for three 10
6vc hundred dollars per acre; and
advises farmers VI tho West 10 come

Among his other letters " one on
the subject of politics, and In II we
find the following
In regard 10 negro oiiice-holding,
the ox.rcbcls are more sensitivcthan
about negro voting; still they declare
that they prefer negro creoles to
hold office rather than carpet-bag-
gers. They entertain an irrevoka-
bic animosity towards carpet-bag
ofIice-seekcrs, and ! really cannot
blame them, for it is q deplorable
fact that q very large majority OF
these gentry are scamps and thieves;
rotton driftwood, who have been
floated down the Mississippi, and
squatted on the offices. They bring
the disgrace on the party to which
they profess to belong. They pos
sess a. keen n scent and as rayenous
an appetite for plumber as the vul-
turs who fill the air have for putrid
carcasses. The difference between
these birds of prey Is hat heformer
feast on the substance of living men,
while the latter content themselves
with the carcasses q dead animals,
II would be safe to enter the Louis
lana carpet-baggers for differing,
peculation and scoundrelism, in
competition with any OF the tribe in
any other part of the South.

Too Much OF THE NIooRa.-It Is
reported that Clay, the aristocratic
"gemmen Of color" of New Orleans,
appointed Minister to Liberia, and
Professor Bassett (colored) of Phil
adelphia, appointed Minister to
Hayti have each declined the honor.
This Is so very curious that most
people viii ask why have these
blacks declined these high official
distinctions. We suspect that the
true reasons are that they prcfer to
stay among tho white people; that
they recoil from the ideaof living In
a community whore there Is nothing
but negroes; that for Clay there Il

and for Basset toomuch ofthe nigge,

TIE TARIFF QUEsTIos.-The annouce-
ment in the dispatches a few days ago
that the President would make some sug-
gestions in his forthcoming message con-
corning the tariff question, has had the ef-
feet of stirring up the free traders and the
tariff men. Several Of the latter, among
them Congressman Morrell and Scofeld, Of
Pennsylvania, have been here interviewing
the President on the subject. The tariff
men were disappointed at the last session
Of Congress that no action was taken on
their bill, but they consoled themselves
with the hope ofgetting satisfactory mea-
sure put through atthe mex: session. The
present law is not to their liking, because
its rates are not high enough. The pros
pect of recommendation in the Presi-
dents message to the effect that the tariff
law be allowed to remain as it is for one
year, is not, therefore, just what the tariff
men want. But if the President persists
in making allusion to the tariff they would
rather have him make such recommends
ton than one in favor of free trade. This
was the point Mr.. Morrell came to urge.
1t is understood that the President is still
of opinion that the interests of the country
will be best promoted by leaving the tariff
and internal revenue laws undisturbed.

USEFUL PREPARATIONS OF CARBoLIc Ao-
ID.-Phenol or carbolic acid is one of the
many useful bodies obtained from coal-tar.
Its composition is expressed by the mod
ern formula Cs Hs o, and though it forms
unstable compounds with certain metals
such as potassium, barium, and lead, it has
the character of an alcohol rather than
that of an acid. 1t crystallises at ordinary
temperatures, but the crystals deliquesce
on taking up mere trace of water. 1t
smells like wood-tar creasote, in fact much
of the creasote of commerce consists al
most entirely of phenol. 1t does not red
den litmus. Its antiseptic and disenfect-
ing properties are very remarkable and
have led to its extensive application to
useful purposes. Its aqueous solution pre-
serves animal substances from decompo-
sition, and will even remove the fetid
odour from meat and other substances al
ready in state of decomposition. Fish
and leeches die when immersed 10 the
aqueous solution, and their bodies subse-
quently dry up on exposure to the air
without decomposition. We mention
these facts, for though phenol has been in
troduced into the PhGrmacopoid under
the name Of Acidum Carbolicum. We
have reason to believe that the nature and
properties of this important compound
are not generally understood.

EPHRAIM X. AvERY.-The death of Mr..
Avery in Ohio, which we announced last
week, brings to mind tragedy which caused
an immense excitement In this vicinity at the
time. The facts were these In 1882 young
girl named Sarah Maria Cornell, residing in
Fall River, was found murdered by the side
Of haystack in Tiverton. 1t was whispered
that she had been criminally intimate with
Rev. Ephraim K Avery, man Of learning
and ability, and very popular among the
Methodists of that time. In the bandbox of
the murdered girl was found note saying
II / am missing inquire of E. X. Avery"
Upon the strength OF this and other suspi-
cious circumstances, Mr.. Avery was arrested
and tried by the civil court at Newport The
proof being deemed insufficient he was dis
charged, and was then tried by an eclesiasti-
cal court, which also acquitted him. But
that did not settle the question of bis limo
eence in the minds ofthe people, and although
he continued to preach for several years in
the western part Of this State, he could not
outlive the suspicion created against him,
and he finally retired from the ministry and
removed to Ohio to seek the quiet and free
dom from annoyance which he could not ex-
peet in. Massachusetts. For the last twenty
or thirty years, says an Ohio exchange, Mr.
Avery has led the life Of an industrious and
quiet farmer at Pittsfeld, Ohio, where he
died on the sd nlt-, going TO the grave with
the respect and regret of his neighbors and
acquaintance

The CooLIE EMIGRATION QuEsr1oS-Is
attracting considerable attention here, and
an ordinance for its regulation is under ne
consideration of the local Legislature
The views which have been ably set forth
in our columns, and in other American pa
pers, do not seem to be very popular here.
where it is hoped that such arrangements
may be made as will purge the traffic en-
tirely of its abuses, and admit Of free emf
grafton in such way as to rebound to the
benefit alike Of the United States and of
China The broad view of the subject
seems to be that there can be no question
that the Chinese are eminently fitted to
become free laborers in the Southern
States, being used to very similar eli
mate; and that if due regulation were made
first with respect to emigrations, SO as to
prevent the possibility of any men being
Struggled away against their will, and Sc
condly. in order to afford them due protec-
ton when they arrive in the States. there
will be no reason why the laboring strength
of China may not be enlisted in the cause
of civilization and progress in the United
States. Upon this question Mr.. Burlin-
game held very sound views and bringing
about this end win be at least one useful
result attending his mission. Captain Gift
is at present staying here with view to
prospecting as to the means that can be
brought into play to bring the matter to a
practical issue +; and much interest is felt as
to the result of his Investigations He is,
himself, sanguine of good results; but, of

The OCEAN ROUTE We learn by re-
cent adyices from Washington that, to the
application Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company for the Government 20 double the
present subsidy for carrying the mails, in
case the company agree TO run twice q
month instead OF once, as now, there IS a
refusal. The Postmaster General viii not
recommend an increase. and thinks there
soon viii be competition enough on the
Pacific to induce some other company to
put on line without subsidy.
