THE New York Tribune denies all
advocacy Of the Introduction OF
Chinese, or others, to compete with
American mechanics. 1t doubts the
p~racticability of employing their labor
for such a purpose, queries as to how
far it will be available in competition
with the labor Of the blacks, and
afiTms that the answer to this ques-
ton, as well as whether it can be made
efficient for opening up the country,
must be found in the practical trial
and experience. Beyond this the po-
sitiOn Of the New York journal is
thus further stated:
Having held out an invitation to all the
world TO come 10 US; having for years de-
clared the United States 70 be the Refuge
Of the Nations; having put into OuT Con
stitutiOn an acknowledgment Of Equsl
X ghts for All; having proclaimed that
within our borders no man shall be for
hidden to work 81 suCh lawful calling as
to him may seem proper; having made a
covenant against wrong and injustice ;
having done all this with fervency and in
apparent good faith, our idea is that the
United States should either its
principles or boldly stick TO them.
We claim for the Chinamsn, as for
every other kind of man, full permission
TO come within Our borders, to work here
Al his trade, to make contracts which our
Ia : will enforce, and generally 10 do all
tn 90 things which he might do if he
" ae a Swede, an freshman, or q Psta-
gonisn. About the expectancy OF his
coming or staying away, we say nothing.
That is his business, aud not ours
Secondly, weaver, with all the force of
which we are capable, the right of an en-
ployer TO employ such workmen as he
may see ut, be the same DemigOds or
Digger Indians. That, we say, is his
business.
Thirdly, we deny the right of any class
Of men 10 band themselves together to
prevent any human being from working
II be wishes TO work-industry not being
50 universal in this world, or SO fatal to
its prosperity, that we must resort TO
mObs to diminish it.
These are our views Now for their
practical application. We find at North
Adams, in The State of Massachusetts,, a
company of Chinese employed in q GER
taia way. Being thus employed, peacea-
bly, and prOhtably according 70 their
own ideas of proiit), we deny the right OF
anybody TO harass or IN any way Distract
them. We claim for them the pro-
lection of all laws which are good
of the Divine, the Moral, and tho
Enacted. Any organized attempt to
drive them away from the town in
which they are sojourning, We hold TO be
a Conspiracy, punishable by 6ne andiH
pTisOnHent. II one of them is killed, it
is Murder. If the building in which they
work is burned, il is Arson. They are
under the protection Of the Laws OF Mas
sschusetts, and they must so remain (if
the avs aforesaid are good for anything)
while they remain in the peace of the
Commonwealth.

is oar doctrine concerning Chinese Labor.

tials to the French Minister Of War,
Endorsed by Mr.. Mathematics

The Navy Department will send
out q board, consisting ofa Commo-
dore, Captain, Commander and Lieu
tenant Commander, TO observe the
naval operations, which are likely TO
be of great importance, on the North
Sea and Baltic. The officers to be Sc
lected will represent the elite of our
naval service, gentlemen of the high
est scientific attachments, Of great ex-
perience and possessing powers Of the
keenest Observers AS our navy will
be represented at the scene Of the con-
hlct, some of the officers may accom-
pany our own vessels, bat, generally,
they will be expected to unite their
fortunes with the combatants on their
respective ships.
Commander Edward Simpson has
already been detailed for this special
duty, and the names of Others are
still under consideration, since the de-
partment desires to send out the very
best men for the specific duties to be
assigned to each one. It is not i'm
probable that a rear admiral will be
placed at the head of the commission,
and eventually Vice Admiral Porter
will proceed TO Europe in person.
Rear Admiral Radford is likely TO
leave his hsgshIp (the Ffanklin)
abroad and return tOthe United States
by a mail steamer, as the franklin is
just nov greatly needed in foreign
waters.
The naval commission will probably
sail for Europe by the last Of the
month, and will be able to arrive at
the scene Of operations before any Sc
rious naval blow has been struck.

FRATRIcIoE.
A Brother Sheets and Kills Another for
ga Trfile.

From Louisville Courier-Journal, 18th
The little town Of Garnettsville,
Meade county, and its immediate
vicinity, was considerably agitated on
Saturday by a murder. -Four miles
from the town there live three
brothers named Thomas, Dice and
Polk Birch, who have in their tinse
been q terror to the locality, and dur
ing the war their deeds were heralded
ali over the country. These three
brothers have been living neighbors
since the war, and had improved very
much In morals and behavior. They
INDUCED only in slight brotherly
quarrels, which were easily adjusted.
One day last week Polk Birch found
some OF Dice's cattle running at large
In his corntield, and at first thought
they had got in by knocking down
the fence, and turned them out. Next
day, however, he found the cattle
again in the field, and then he accused
Dice Of purposely turning them in,
and sent q threatening message to
Dice. On Saturday morning Polk
went out to the field armed with q
shotgun, and secreted himself in
some bushes for the purpose of shoot
ing his brother if he attempted to let
the cattle into the field again. After
remaining hidden for some time Dice
Birch, who seemed to be aware of
what was going on, went in pursuit
of Polk, and found him secreted as
above stated, and, without a word,
fred tive loads of buckshot into the
body Of his brother, killing him in
stantly. THE murderer Is said to have
remained at home, pursuing bis Usual
aVocation, no effort having been
made by the civil authorities TO ar.
rest him. Such, at1east, is the story
that has reached us.

nav candidates which the ne

THE candidates which the nernoc-
racy of Shelby county present for the
suftrages of the people are unobjec-
tionable-infnitely preferable 10 their
earpet-bag competitors. They are
good and true men. They were born
in our midst, have been tried, and
whenever tried they have proved
themselves faithful to every trust re-
posed in them. The people Of Shelby
will support ]. E. r. Ray, who is an
able lawyer, was long Secretary Of
State, which position he filed with
ability and to the satisfaction Of the
people-of all men in Shelby county
he is peculiarly fitted for the office of
Probate Judge. He has been tried,
and found in every ems as true as
steel, as immovable as rock. Mr.. Ray
has conceded popularity and strength,
but too much reliance should not be
put upon that fact. lie should re-
eeive vigorous aid from the party.
No n questions the qualifications OF
John Brown for the energetic and
proper discharge of his duties as
County Register; and eyen Radical
malignity dare not assail his charae-
ter. He is the candidate of the coun-
try people; but the voters of Mem
phis will give him the same vote cast
for the other candidates. Miles NJ.
Ste9hens is an ornament to the
bar. He is a young man, bat has
brilliant talents, an integrity that
commands universal confidence,
a splendid judgment and great
professional learning. He is in
every respect the very man
to be entitled to the confidence of the
voters OF Shelby county. His cleo
ton we regard as certain, and predict
for him Il are as Attorney General,
faithfully prOmotive Of the public in
terest, and honorable to himself.
We have a ticket which all good
Democrats a support, and it is their
duty to work earnestly and faithfully
for its election. 1t has been a great
ruling feature of the Democratic party
in the past to stand by its cOlors and
support the nominees. Shoulder to
shoulder, in unbroken phalanx, let
the Democracy from now until the
election battle for their ticket. Let
the seekers for Office and spOils now de
sert If they wish to the enemy. We can
well spare them, for such trimmersaud
~time-servers are a GeS4 %eight 60 any
political organization; and in coming
political contests for the perpetuati0n
of the Union and the Constitution,
the army OF the Democracy do not
wish to be encumbered with merce-
nary eamp-follOwers and plunderers.
In the present contest apathy amounts
to a crime. Not to go to the polls and
vote for our party and its nominees is
TO give a halt support to our enemies.
In the mighty peril that menaees the
great interests Of the people, all our
hearts and minds and means should
be united in one common effort to
avert it.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS.

The Oronid,. office (RadicaD is Of
fered for sale.
The United States Court has been
removed from Oxford to Holly
Springs.
The Holly Springs Reporter gives a
very gloomy account OF the prospects
for good crops in that section.
II. G. Devine, a brakeman ON the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, fell from a
down freight on Sunday night Just
above Okatibbe and was instantly
! killed. Both legs were cut Otfand his
body horribly mangled.
The Goodman Star says: "We hear
continually Of our farmers losing
horses and mules, by dk g Uses caused
from eating damaged corn brought
here ffom the West and North. Per
haps this will teach our farmers the
necessity of raising their own corn"
The Columbus Hlder says: SIN the
Circuit Court, Cato Davis, 10. Hahn
and luck Alexander, all freedmen,
and the two first Major Generals in
the Loyal League, were tried for bur-
glary and convicted. The court will
probably give them several years In
the Penitentiary."
The Yazoo Banner says: "We have
received information from an author
itative source, that Mr., McComb will
assist in giving the people of our
county a railroad. MI. MeCOmb, we
are informed, will iron and stock a
road from Yazoo City to Vaughan's,
our citizens to grade and crosstie the
road"
The Pamela 6tGT says: /" After a
trip over some of the best lands in
the county, we give it as our judg-
ment, that the cotton crop is sorry,
and unless everything is favorable,
from this tihla on, there cannot be an
average cottgn crop raised. Corn
prospects, we are proud to say, are
good"
The Canton Nail states that bears
are becoming quite numerous In the
neighborhood of Beattie's Bluff, and
it is not an uncommon thing for a
shaggy skin to o. the river from
Yaz0O in the night, visit a hog pen,
and return before the crack of dawn.
Dogs frequently start them while run

have had shots at them.

THE Chicago Tribune and other
Radical papers are becoming parti-
san IN the PruSsian side, little less
bitter than they are in American
politics. 1t asserts that only Catho-
lies, rebels, Democrats and Fenians
have a French leaning. 1t evidently
thinks it as much a crime to be a
Catholic as to be a rebel. While it
may be unnecessary for Americans to
take other than a neutral position as
between these belligerents, it would
be difficult to give a reason for an
tipathy in America to the govern
ment which enabled US to achieve in
depenee of Great Britain, if that is
worth anything, and has proved a
friend second to no other nation ever
since. That Germans and Frenehmen
should take sides is natural and proper
enough. But there Is a marked con-
trast between the sympathy shown
by Germans and Freuchmen. While
the former seem boiling over with
enthusiasm, the latter are cool, conf
dent and undemonstrative. In the
work of humanity and forwarding
money and supplies for the sick,
wounded and orphaned all may well
engage. But more than this, it may
be questioned whether any class Of our
citizens who are hot willing to 20 TO
the front should do.

ONR week from to-day the people of
Shelby county win be called upon to
elect q probate Judge, County Regis
ter and Attorney Generalf for the Bart
lett Court. There Is nota Democratic
heart in Shelby county that does not
palpitate with ardent hope that q ma
jority viii be rolled up on Thursday
next which win overwhelm this last
effort of Radicalism with political
destruction; with an utter, entire, I'M
exampled overthrow. From every
quarter of the State the most cheering
intelligence greets US In regard to our
candidates for Supreme Court Judges.
Elsewhere the Democracy viii do
their duty. Memphis and Shelby
county must perform their share of
the toll, and receive their Just share
OF the triumph. We have no
fears as to our candidates for Supreme
Court Judges. A victory will
most assuredly be achieved by the
Democracy of the State, and such a
victory as win forever paralyze the
foes of peace and the Consultation.
Ali we ask is that the Democracy of
Memphis and Shelby county will give
US an old-fashioned rally and an old
fashioned triumph. Give Us such a
majority as will ring from Shelby to
Carter. 1t can be dOne-let US be up
and doing it-doing it with a will.
Il is worth working for and it is worth
achieving. Let every man go to work
and leave no honorable means nntried
to secure the success of our ticket.
Fail not in our duty to our party, our
country, and the tax-paying people of
Shelby county. The Radicals are
making unheard-of exertions 10 Sc
cure the election of their ticket.
The Loyal Leagues are at work at the
hour Of midnight upon the same plan
that the Know-nothings used to
work. Let US show them that we are
prepared for the struggle-that we
realize the vast Importance of the
contest, and especially the importance
of a splendid and glorious triumph.
Let US, one week from to-day, dig
wide and deep the grave of Radical
ism, that we may bury it beyond the
reach of any Ajax of the resurrection
school that shall attempt to galvanize
it into life.
