.The Coolte Trade"

We print, this morning, an act Of Con-
gress, passed February 10, 1862, prohibit
ing what is known as the coolie trade
This act is commonly supposed to stand in
the way Of Chinese immigration to the
United States, but careful perusal Of its
provisions shows that it is only intended to
prohibit the use Of American vessels for
carrying coolies from China "to any foreign
country" to be disposed Of or sold, or
transported for any term Of years" ''or
for any time whatever, as servants or ap-
prentices, or to bs held to service or labor.
In Section it is expressly declared that
nothing in the act ''shall be deemed, or
construed, to apply to or affect any free and
voluntary emigration of any Chinese sub
jeo., or to any vessel carr, ing suoh per-
son as passenger on board the ssme;" aud
it appears to US that the act only relates to
the shipment of coolies in American bot
toms to foreign ports, there to be hired out
or sold. Aud if the act did refer to the
United States, our planters might still make
contracts directly with the Chinese in China,
as there would then be no "transfer" for q
term Of years within the meaning of Section
10.
The intention Of the act is, to US, very
clear, and we publish it entire, that our
readers may see that the law does not de-
bar them from making contracts with
Chinese immigrants, any more than it
hinders them from making engagements
with the Irish or German laborer. The
"ooolie trade" is very properly prohibited,
but there is no interference with free and
voluntary immigration.

A Celebrity In Edgehe1d-oId Sohn
Browns Night-hand Man.

Little, probably, do the good geDtlefolk
of Edge6eld dream Of the extent to which
their fortunate county has been honored in
the recent change Of internal revenue OFF,
oials in that division Of the third collection
district. We are told that the new sp-
pointee as Assistant Assessor is "Mr. 4
"Realf, an Englishmau," and our Edgefeld
contemporary, evidently ignorant Of its
special bliss, INDUCES in laudatory regrets
over tho removal Of the late incumbent and
has no word Of cheer or welcome for the
stranger who takes his place.
We know something Of Mr.. Richard
Realf, and hasten to introduce him to our
readers. Englishmsn, indeed, he is; but
it was on the sacred soil Of the Old Domin-
ion, and in prominent connection with one OF
the most exciting events in the annals of
thstrenowned commonwealth, that he frst
becsme known to fame. 1t is now more
than ten years since the country was
startled by the tidings that Old John
Brown, with few desperate followers, had
made himself master Of the United States
srmory ut Hsrper's Ferry and madly raised
the standard Of servile revolt. He'd the
blow thus so boldly struck been followed BY
the chain Of anticipated results, it was
Browns dream Of power to have established
9 great Black Republic, Of which he himself
was to be at once the creator and the diota-
tor. Realf, at that time the shrewdest and
most active as well as the youngest member
Of Brewn's gang, had been formally singled
out as the Secretary Of State, in the organ
izstion Of the projected government. We
all know how the crazy scheme was thrst-
tied at its birth; how che ungrsteful blacks
failed to rally ct the call Of their Q lixOtic
deliverer; and how, after q fair trial before
jury Of virginisns, the miserable old
fanatic, who perhaps was less guilty than
most Of his fellows, expisted his and their
crime upon the gibbet. Rsalf, who was
believed by many to have been the ruling
spirit Of the raid, was cunning enough to
escape ell serious consequences. or his
subsequent career little is known; but the
versatility Of his genius and his irrepres-
sible impudence seem evsrywAers to have
served him in good stead. We Aear Of him
