THE L4BOR QrEsTIOA.

The movement 10 secure Chinese
laborers for the South is a step in the
right direction toward building up the
broken down industries of u coun-
try. On the Pacific coast, where the
climate is not so congenial to the
Chinaman as ours, the experiment
haslbeen fairly tried and proven sue
cesSful. Many Of the Industrial en-
terprises Of the prosperous and pro-
gressiye State Of California would be
al a stand-still to-day but for these
Woodworking people. The manuhe-
ture of wooden clOth-an enterprise
which would seem TO DE q necessity
i'm that fine woOl-growing country
was not sufficiently remunerative to
justify its continuance until Chinese
operatives and labOrers were en-
ployed in the establishment. And so
with all other enterprises throughout
the whole State, where constant,
cheap, and careful labor is required to.
make them profitable and efficient
From the kitchen to the machine
shops they are the most profitable and
useful laborers now employed on the
whole Pacific coast. The newspapers
tell US that Mr.. EUGENE CAssERLY,
Senator from California, opposes the
employment of Chinese in " this coun-
try meaning the United States no.
doubt, This is possible, though not
at all probable. The Senator is a man
of talent, and heretofore his Judgment
in such matters has been sound and
practical. Opposition to Chinese la
boz has always been a plank in the
platform of c~lap-trap politicians in
that State for the purpose of catching
the votes of the white laboring class.
And it has been, and probably is now,
popular plank. The character Of
labor to be performed in the State Is
such that white men can do it readily.
And there has always been an abun-
dant supply Of such labor. But
the mines are So abundant and so
easily accessible, and SO tempting
Nithal, that white men have.
always demanded high wages, and
they received soeh wages until the
Chinaman anne to work for less.
Such high wages crippled the indus
tries. andkept dormilnt the resources
Of the State, just as the absence Of re-
labor does with US. Hence the
objection Of a large body of people in
California TO the Chinese; and it may

Editors Appeal: Shall Memphis in
in the great onward march to wealth
and commercial prosperity rely alto
gether in the future, as she has much
to her own detriment in the past, on
her sO-called natural resOtHceS2 Or,
taking st. Louis as a warning, and
Chicago as an example, shake off the
lethargy that enshrouds her, and grasp
with energy and determination all the
means within her control, and secure
beyond the reach of successful compe-
tition her full share of the trade and
commerce of the great Southwest?
Everything that can be d0netosllOrten
the time, and decrease the cost of
transportation will increase traffic and
that Memphis mayderive the greatest
benefit frOmthe railroads terminating
in her midst, an Union Depot, as
stated by your correspondent in yes
terday's issue is absolutely indispensi-
bic, 50 that the railroads may be able
TO exchange passengers and freight
with each other, and with steamboats,
on theriyer, in the quickest and most
economical manner. The cost of hand
ling freight and hauling it on wagons
or drayS n mile is equal to the cost
of moving itseventy miles on thecars.
The delay and damage in handling so
frequently, are SUFFICIENT to turn freight
to other routes, ven though it may
have TO be carried one hundred miles
further. as has been done repeatedly,
and which will certainly be the case
with Memphis, where the extra dis
lance to avoid drayage, etc, through
the city, will probably not exceed
thirty miles.
What is to become of the draymen?
This WILDE one of the first questions
asked, and in reply we would refer the
enquirer to the various cities where
- break of guage" and discOnnecti0n
has been tried, and venture the asser-
ton that in propOrti0n to population, !
there are three drays employed in
those cities having complete railroad
connections, to one in those adhering
to old fogyism and diSconnections.s
Ask any one acquainted with Chica-
where every lumber yard,
coal yard, mill, warehouse and
elevator has a switch, and side
truck il the draying business is
not better than it is in Memphis.
Trade will certainly go where it can
find the cheapest and quickest route,
and it is. only by Offering these facili-
ties that Memphis can hope for sue
cess. Let the citizens of Memphis
profit by the experience of other cities
Similarly located; for instance, see
the gigantic efforts St. Louis is now
making to regain trade rightfnlly be-
longing to her by reason of location,
etc, but which, depending too much
on natural resources, has been wrested Z

Since the subject has been presented
in Memphis, we have heardgood men
raise the objection to the Chinaman
that he is a heather. a little practi-
cal experience with this heather viii
remove all such objections from the
mind of any thoughtful man. The
African was a heathen-a %barbarOus
and mcivilized heather. We made
him useful and profitable as a labOrer;
and we did more-we Christianized
and civilized him in a greater degree
than has ever been done else
where. The Chinaman is an en-
lightened and a civilized heather.
lie is dOcile and. peaceable and ODE
dent to the laws of the land, quite as
much 50 as the best, citizens of our
Christian community. He wOrships
idols, and believes in the writings of
CONFUcIUs, but he does it civilly, and
makes no efforts to prOselyte any one
to his creed. He performs his devO-
tons carefully and without ostenta-
ton, carefully avoiding offense to 9TH
ers and never interfering with those
who worship differently. He is an
educated man, apt and quick to learn,
and always ready and eager to be
taught. Is it not probable, then that
the introduction of this heather into
our country as a labOrer, may be the
means directly of converting that ma
ton to the worship of the true and
living GOD? May we not make mis-
siOnarieS out of some of them, who
viii return and carry the Gospel OF
Christ with them, to spread its be-
nign influence throughout the entire
of that immense and Over-crOwded
kingdom? Thinking men who raise
this objection should consider care
fully this view of the question. 1t is
one of the strongest reasons why we
should endeavor to introduce them
into the South. If they were in
clined to convert us 70 their mode of
worship the Christians of our country
would have no fears in meeting their
efforts with the beautiful and simple
truths Of the Bible. No one doubts
which party would triumph in such a
contest. The heather would be con-
verified from his idOl-worships, and all
Christendom would rejoice over the
result.
Let the project now on foot be car
ried out successfully, and we are san
guine that our people will soon be re-
stored to their former prosperous and
happy condition of complete indie
pendpnce.

The confederate soldiers Of Mem

o'clock, at the Exchange Building,
for the purpose of organizing a Mutual
Relief Society, through which the
sick may find aid and the unfortunate
such friendship as a true soldier is al
ways prepared to extend to his broth

posed organization, and beA@ee that
it is an absolute necessity, made so by
the Increasing demands of those whO,'
by the fortunes of war, have been
MANNED, or been shOrn of their for
tunes. We heartily commend it, and
hope it will meet with the unqualified
support of every man who fought in
the Confederate ranks. Its objects
being purely benevolent, it viii com

Wh0Ie-hearted man who has 4 sympa-

whom distress may Overtake or the
misfortupes Of a varying life compel

and that Memphis may be able to say
that she is prepared to succor those
who, if they cannot look to their for
comrades, may well say their
cause is lost indeed.

The Democratic press of the city does
not appear to sustain the preposterous de-
mand of the APPEAL, that delegates for
a constitutional convention should be
chosen at the August election.-Nemphis

Correct; the Democratic press do
not, but the Democratic public through

does. 1t is the opinion of a majority

RECEPTIoN.-The Rutland Herald has
the following concerning O. B. Clarke's
reception at Windsor:
Sheriff Field and Chief-of- Police
Crawford, happily for them, have re.
turned from Windsor WI ither they
went to escort o. b. Clark, alias Piper,
safe and sound, notwithstanding the
threats of the aforesaid Clark. The
party had quite reception at Bellows
Falls, the different pc rites Interested in
Piper calling upon him and his guar
dams. Piper was very communicative,
an evidently imagined and tried
to impress those present that he was one
of those persons born to greatness. On
his arrival at the State Prison. he in
quired if he could be allowed few lux
uries, but the warden politely informed
him, that, as he had come among them
to make a long stay he would find that
in that institution they were no respec-
ters of persons-all faring alike. Piper
is an inveterate smoker, but he will
have an opportunity to break himself of
this bad habit, at least while he resides
there, for no smoking is allowed but to
compensate for this he will have his
SIN II plug of tobacco per week for chew
ing purposes. When informed that he
would have to don the uniform which
the State presents to each of its recruits
for this institution, which, by the way
is more snowy than tasteful, and also
would be obliged to have his hair cut
close and his whiskers shaved off, it was
too much for him, and he dropped a
tear or two and said he would rather
have died in Rutland Jail than suffer
thus ignobly." Verify, he that putteth
another man S name to piece Of paper
| runs risk.
