Not all Of our readers will appreciate the fol-

as but few of them know anything about, and
some of them may never have heard, Of that in.

however, that is INDUCED in by Presidents,
governors, members OF congress, and, indeed, by
all whs can raise stake. Those who under
stand the game, will appreciate the following
story, and II Is for their Amusement that we give
1t. At recent term OF the circuit court, in a
border county in Missouri, the case of Smith vs.
Jones was called. The Judge inquired, who

MAY it please the court" said rising mem :
Der Of The legal fraternity "Pilkins is for the
plaintiff, but left him just over in the tav-

there, and he Is sure to skin him right smart if
he has only time. He's got every thing set 70
ring cold deck" In which case he'll deal for
himself four aces and his opponent four
queens, so that your honor will perceive that he
must rake the persimiasns"
Dear me !" said the judge with sigh, ''thst's
toe bad +. 1t happens at = very unfortunate
time. | am very anxiou. to get on with the

A brown stsdy followed and at length . hap

absent Pilkins who had just spoken, "ysu undsr.

gives US the following result OF ms
observations:
In every locality which he visited,
the number of negroes has rapidly
and steadily decreased since the close
of the war. In nearly all the large
cities and towns where they are con-
gregated IN the greatest numbers, the
majority of the negro women, it
may be safely said, are living in an
open and avowed system of prostitu-
ton. Out of the thousands of negro
women whom he saw between
the ages of fourteen and forty,
he did not see fifty who were e~nciente
nor did he see in all his travels one
hundred negro children below the age
of four years.
Now these are not mere c%Onjecturesi
but the results of intelligent, I'M
prejudiced observation and investiga'
ton, and point Enthusiastically to the
gradual extinction of the race.
Where then is the labor to come
from to supply the vacancy O%ccasiOned
by such extinction?

our only hope then, inevitably rests

The DENT movement in Mississippi
meets with hearty concentrations
and many fair promises of support
from influential parties. Judge
SHARKEY, who enjoys in large meas
ure the confidence of the people of
Mississippi, in a lengthy letter pub
lished in the Jackson Clarion, of
Thursday, advises that the party
nominating Judge DENT receive the
unstinted support of the COnserva-
tives of that State. He says of its
platform of principles: Although
" in some respects it may be objection
" able to many of us, it has an advan-
I" tage over the platform of the other
/" party. 1t has more of the spirit of
=" justice and I~iberality, and 1 will add,
of true patriotism. But admitting
/" that this is not of itself a safe critic
!" rion, still it stands fortified by facts
" which cannot be doubted, IN the
/" first place, it is an opposition paFty,
/" a party which sprang out of oppose
4" ton to the extreme doctrines of the
/" other party, in regard to State poll
|" tics merely, and not in regard to
4" National politics, for both profess to
/" b6 ip favor of the administration,
|" and in favor Of carrying out the re-
I" construction measures, its OppOsi-
" ton to the other party must there
I" fore rest on the extreme ana illib6s
I" raj, unpatriOtic measures of that
50 party, as delineated in the COnstitu-
" ton; it has no other foundation to
/" rest..upon."
The Clarion says that DENTS zen
" dOrsemeRt of the sound, liberal and
I" just principles eHuRciRted in their
I" platform of June 23d, to which even
/" the Bitter Enders have paid the
/" homage of a feeble attempt at imi-

THE TROUBLES NARKANSAS.
The killing of Capt. HAYNES, in
Marion, Ark, on Thursday, has been
made, we regret to say, the occasion
for such excitements and outrages
upon the part of the negro population
of Crittenden county, as must serious
Iy interfere with the attention and
labor the growing crops now need,
and for a renewal, in part, of the strife,
pickering and want Of confidence IN
spired by the presence of the militia
there last winter. However justifia-
BILE the act of killing the unfortunate
wretch may be, it is none the less to
be deplOred, not alone because OF the
crime itself, but because it is likely to
be made the pretext for another visit
from the militia, and additional hOr-
rors of military murders and outrages
of virtue, such as yet compel a shud-
der. We hope not. We hope Gov.
CLAYTON and the Arkansas authori-
ties will view this as entirely personal
between the dead and the slayer. The
one threatened what the other per-
formed. HAYNES sent word to
CoLLYER that he would kill him on
sight: of this the latter took advan-
tage and killed his forewarning n
tagonist. With the drama or the
actors the white people of Crittenden
or Marion have had nothing to do.
They are in no way responsible for it
and we hope will not be visited with
any punishments by militia such as
some extra-officious Radicals in our
midst threaten. In the interests of.
law and order, in the interests of the
material prosperity of Arkansas, and
especially of Crittenden county, we
ask that the leaders of the negroes
withdraw those madmen and prevail
upon them to cOnfine themselves
strictly to their labor and leave to the
operation of law the punishment of
those who are its offenders. We adj
wise in the interest of peace and good
will and in behalfOf the people.

THE Mississippi River Railroad Com
pany sold yesterday $4,000 of Shelby
county bonds issued to that road, at
ninety-fve cents on the dollar. This
sale was reported some days since to
have been made at ninety cents, and
even that rate was considered excep-
tiOnally good. But Mr.. MITCHELL
has obtained ninety-fve cents, the
best price that Shelby county bonds
have attained for many a day.
This negotiation proves the conf
dence felt in the Mississippi River
Railroad by the moneyed men OF
Memphis. W. B. GREENLAw's re-
cent voluntary accession to the Board
| of Directors was another manifesto
ton of the same valuable kind. Sci
dom has such an unbroken career OF

LIE LAROR QTFSTTON.


Since the APPEAL first agitated the
question of the practicability and pro-
priety of introducing Chinese labor
upon the vast and fertile fields of the
| South which are now unprOductive
and waste lands-which agitation
found its final and appropriate result
in the Convention just clOsed-we
have heard of but little opposition to
the measure. This opposition, though
based, as we believe and think we can
demonstrate, upon fallaciOus and spe-
ciOus arguments, is Of that character
which derives its Importance and is
dangerous solely because itappeals pc
culiarly to the timidity and fear of in
novatiOn which is supposed to consti-
tute, par excellence, the distinguishing
characteristic of agricultural cOmmu-
mites. Those who oppose the intro
duction of Asiatic or Chinese labor
into the South, so far as we have seen
or heard, give but two reasons for do
ing 50. First, they object to the in
PRODUCTION of a pagan element, upon
moral and religious grounds. Second
ly, they are opposed to the systematic
and extensive Introduction of any
class Of labOrers who shall come into
competition with the negro, because,
forsooth, they fear the effect will be to
force the political power and privi-
leges which the negro Wields to the
support of the SOuth's worst enemies,
the Radicals.
The first objection has been
so fully and ably answered by
the remarks of Mr.. I'VE KIM
ORR before the Convention, and sub
sequent reports from various commit
tees to that body that it would be a
work Of supererOgatiOn on our part to
attempt it.
Such, however, is not the case with
the second argument, and we beg to
offer a few suggestions which we think
will convince the most determined OPP
ponent that the measure is not only
right, but necessary.
If the introduction of large numbers
of competitors in the labor fields Of
the South is likely to render the ne
gro inimical to his natural friend-the
land owner-and force him politically
into ~afhliatiOn with the Radicals, is
it not obvious that the same result
would ensue, whether the competing
laborers come from Asia or Europe?
This reply, however, is so patent that
it must have occurred to every one,
and we do not care to press it. No
one will deny that the imperative
want of the country 1--WE speak par
ticularly of our section of the coun-
try is labor; that without some sys-
tenn of labor which can be directed
and controlled by the owners Of the
soil, the present grievous burdens un-
der which we sweat and grOan !"
viii be indefinitely prolonged. This
labor must either be found abroad and
domesticated here, or be supplied by
the negro already in our midst.
Now we believe, granting the ne
gro to be willing and able to furnish
this labor at present, he is, from active
physical causes, becoming less and
less able to supply our labor necessi-
ties with every day that passes.
During the session of the late Labor
Convention, we met and conversed
with an intelligent, observant, gentle
man who has just returned from an
extended tour through the cotton pro-
ducing sections of Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, who
