THE New York shaFpers are at thei4
old tricks again. A worthy gentle
man, who is the postmaster of a town
some fifty miles in the interior of this
State, has sent us the Autograph copy
of one of their letters, which they are
doubtless distributing far and near all
over the country. The object is to
find some among the thousands APP
preached who will join them in their
dishonest schemes. They offer to sell
packages OF two, five, ten and twenty
hundred dollars of Treasury notes for
fifteen, thirty, fifty and eighty dollars
respectively. They promise in case of
a purchase to sell to no one else who
might interfere in the vicinity. The
notes are described in the letter to be
"exact copies of the genuine United
States Treasury notes, executed by
the most skilled men in the art out
side of the States Prison."O The let
ter purports to be from MOVES & Co.,
s. Wall street, New York. This is
the means they adopt to advertise
their villainy; and we suppose they
expect to escape while they perfect
their schemes and until by some mis-
adventure convicted of some overt
criminal act. New York is full of
rascals who have become adopts in
their several ~specialties, and it will be
Femembered that some counterfeit
tens have been lately put out which
are extremely difficult of detection
even by expert bankers.

We hope the people of the States
on the lower Mississippi will not make
the mistake of encouraging an influx
upon them of the scum of pagan
China, and dream that honest Chris
tan Europeans will go nea regions
thus infected. If the devilish spirit OF
making money anyhow has so degra-
ded the ruling elements in any portion
of the South as to make them willing
to accept Chinese residents, with all
the rights secured to them by the Bur-
lingame treaty, then these States or
regions, thus besotted, are reTy good
places for European eDligrG11ts to keep
array from
The above is from the New York
Freeman's Journal, a paper friendly
to the South, but which has not been
quite fully accepted as a discreet al
wiser. The esprit Of making money
is not very uncommon, nor more "dev-
ilish" in this quarter than it may be
in the Journals own nest. Men nat
urally seek to advance their own in
terest, and it is likely they will accept
the opportunity in spite of this ADVICE.
What better place for emigrants, either
American or European, is likely to be
found than that of a great and rich,
but undeveloped country, into which
its greatest desideratum of abundant
labor is beginning to flow with a
mighty and resistless tide, and in
which the superior Caucasian mind is
needed to give direction to the Mon
golian and Ethiopian races? The in
hux Of these, with such control, will
assure wealth and ACCOMPLISHMENT,

CORRESPONDENT of the New York
H~adeDendent condemns its views as to
payment of the Southern debt, and
asks, "If we are to pay the debt of
the South, why not pay for their ne
groes and other losses? Would it not
be as just? What claim have they on
government" The Hdependent re-
plies:
"Just so. That's u opinion. VIII
our friend tell rs what sort of a thing
government is, that it should owe
anything TO anybody? What IS : gov
erlment9 Isit an entity? Has it
Conscience heart ? Has tour
own espeeially-a probable future
state?' We think not. Our view is,
that national debts are due by the
people themselves, and not by the
machinery by which they are gov
erned. 1t is true enough that the peo-
pie of the North have no obligation to
pay the debt of the South, though it
might be wise for them to assume such.
Nor have the people Of the South, eX-
cept as one Of the misf9rtupes of their
defeat, any part IN the debt Of the
Union, and vet it would bew0hder-
fully unwise for them to advocate its
reputation. Their own debt ought
not, of course, to be paid AT its face,'
since for the greater part Of it no value
reesiyeQ' vas ever obtained, and its
prese6. holders g&4e nothing at all
for it, but a Drope1 adiustl4eHs misLt
De arrived at. As to the slaS an
their value may be fairly looked upon
as property destroyed by the war,
and the South has as good a claim to
compensation for losses received in
battle or in seige. They fairly risked
that when they took up arms. The

THE New York papers indicate
somewhat of alarm and excitement
in the city, which grew out of the ar
rest Of PRATT, a Texan charged with
murder, lately reported in our tele-
graphic dispatches. An order is be-
Iieved to have been sent by Gen.
GRANT to United States Marshal
BARLOW, i%nstructing him to use such
troops as might be necessary in the
event of On attempt by the State au-
thorities 10 enforce the writ of habeas
corpus, and some squads ofthe United
States artillery were quaFteFed in
Chambers street. The case was az
ranged between Judge McCUYER and
the United States District Attorney,
SUdge PTEREPONT, for a transfer 20
the United States Commissioner.

THE dispatches state that Gen. CAN
BY is about to issue his proclamation
converting the Virginia Legislature
and that he will then apply the iron
clad oath, and in accordance with
Buffers advice give the offices OF
the candidates elect whO will not take
it 10 the next highest candidates. The
statement must be conjectural, of
course, and it may also be remember
ed that, with the Radical telegraph
manipulators, the wish is father to
the thought. The whole thing looks
to us improbable. Not only have the
Democrats proved, but many leading
Republicans admit that the exaction
would be illegal. Gen. GRANT, in the
Georgia case, instructed Gen, MEADE
that members Ofthe Legislature could
not be required to take the oath. He
will not enforce it now. Our tele-
grams usually suit Radical interests,
and we suppose this is the explana-
ton.

mere rule of faction" 1t contrasts
the Republican majority of 51,996
against ETHERIDGE, with the 10000
now arrayed on the opposite side, and
fairly describes the true issue as it was
thus decided:
SIN Tennessee the whole Demo-

Tennessee is redeemed. And
what this means, can only be estima-

the yoke of as CALLING a despOtism as
was ever inflicted upon any people.
"Thus is proclaimed the freedom of

THE Savannah Republican, being
asked the reason whya Radical should
feel a deeper interest in the negro than
a Democrat, answers: 1t is because of
the "hope of getting his vote, and
keeping the Radical party in power"
That is the whole of tit is the hope
to use an inferior classic vote them
at the polls. Suppose the Democrats
should get the upper hand, and vote
them on their side-hOw then? What
would become of the Radical white

THE Chinese cannot become voters,
the naturalization laws extending
only to "free white persons" This
language is used in them all, and no
native African, no Indian, and no
Chinaman can be naturalized. Mr..
SUMNER recently failed in an effort to
strike the word white from these laws.
The fifteenth amendment is as fol-
lows:
Article Is. Section 1. The right of
citizens Of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or any State on account
Of race, color, Of previous condition
of servitude.
"Section >. That Congress shall
have power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation"
This, ii viii be seen, protects none
but citizens Of the United States"
1t win be confined at most to the ex-
tension Of the suffrage to native ne
groes, never enfranchised or now de-
barred the franchise by State legisla-
ton. The Chinese who are not natives
cannot come in under that amend
ment.

himself from the schemes Ofparty pol
iticians and adapt his policy to the
conservative sentiment of the coun-

given his opinion il tiie case Of Vir-

could not take the test oath should be
set aside, and those who had been de-

honest men were in positions of trust,

ONEoftbn editors of tbe Nau


ONE of the editors of the New York
Herald has had a conversation with
CHoY-CHEw, the Chinese merchant,
who is reported to have lately spoken
In Chicago, and who is now in New
York. The Herald saye;
"Choy-Chew does not look with
favor on the project of importing Chi
nese TO the South, His argument is a
paltry one and betrays gross igpO-
rance of the situation. The South,
he says, cannot offer the Chinese saf-
ficient compensation to induce them
to emigrate; but California can. 1t Is
true that the South is not yet reeov-
cred from the disastrous effects of the
war, and that some time must elapse
before the Southern proprietors can
again be regarded as rich men. But
signs of returning life are already
abundant. In the course of a few
months the late rebel States, one and
all, win be restored to their places in
the Union. Order will be re-estab-
lished everywhere and property will
be secure. Northern capital will seek
employment in the South. The large
lapdholders will find it to their ad-
vantage to break up the enormous
plantations aud to exchange land for
gold. The estates will become small
er, but the wealth of the soil will be
more effectually developed. Land
holders will become more numerous,
but individual proprietors will be not
poorer, but richer than V
"COtton mills and tobacco factories
will spring up in all directions, and
the manufacturers of the South will
compete successfully with the manu-
hctuFeTs of The Eastern States and
even with those of England. 4 mag
nifcent future is in fact already david
ing upon the South. The harvest
promises to be rich, but the laborers
yet are few. 1t is labor rather than
gold which is wanted, and for such
labor as the South requires the China
man Is admirably adapted. We do
not disparage the advantages offered
by the great Pacific slope. There Is
room there for millions of the CeIea- |
But there is room also in the
great valley of the Mississippi: and IL /
to be seen whether the Chi
nese laborer will not find himself as
much at home in the plantations of
South as in the rich fields of Cali !

ploying Chinese labor in the South be |
iairly tried, and we have no hesita-
