l..lE.assrant Ala society.

x.AEsE Editor SIN view of the fact that our
Labor System is insufficient for the wants Of
the county, I:would suggest call of the peo-
pc d1ri1g our May Court for the purpose of
forming .an:. Emigrant Aid Society. I can
testify tfithfnlly that one peasant in Europe
ispWofth as much as the average of two
OMkles county negroes. Our county can
easily support, without crowding. ten times
valprasent popnlation: 10 1900 we had a
population of about $4,000 souls-10, 900
whites and $4,000 blacks. The foreigner is
Che only panacea for the evils Of the Fifteenth
Amendment Il.
We think our correspondents suggestion Of
forming an Emigrant Aid Society is good
one, land would, if carried into successful ope-
ration, the very best means we could
adopt Of increasing the general prosperity Of
our county. The great obstacle in the way
of.sucM an enterprise unqucstionably is the
difficulty. Of raising adequate means for the
purpose indicated. Yet We believe chat if the
people generally would cooperate even this
obstacle could be readily surmounted. We
know that money is very scarce, yet we think
that such an enterprise as that suggested by
csS correspondent could be inaugurated and
successfully worked with very small outlay.
S4ppos6 those Of our farmers who own large
tracts Of land Gn too many instances bur-
den rather than source of profit to the own
efs) were to pledge portion Of this land to
the association. would it enable it to borrow
money upon the faith of this security7 Or
Unnecessary, would it not be well to donate
small parcels of land to the immigrant as an
itdlesment TO settle in our midst7 This, We
helidve, is being doas at The South, especially
10 sparsely populated cornnunisies, where
pofulation, as wen as labor, is greatly needed
Cur county; undoubtedly, affords q wide field
for Immigration. The thorough development
81 It's resources will require much large,
population than we now have. The necessi-
ty:of some such action can scarcely be doubt
cd at this time. The unreliability of our pre-
sent: system Of labor, (likely to prove, in the
future, Of less benefit than heretofore,) il
seems to us, imperatively demands that some
st1ps 10 taken 70 remedy the evil under which
W. are laIusins. Unless this be done our
county will inevitably 60 back rather than
increase ID prosperity. We are satisfied the
problem, difficult as it now seems, is capable
Of easy, solution, if placed in the hands Of a
few energetic, enterprising and intelligent
men,. At the least; we say, make trial.
seeWehave thrown out these few crude sug-
gsstiops To- direct public attention to the mat
tsr, i'd the hope that it will be duly consider
cd, and some practical scheme prepared for
iIbminion. to, the meeting proposed by our
correspondent to be held during May Term.

The Bureau OF Education.


The Bureau Of Education, under General
Eaton, has made a statement from the last
census showing the condition of the voting
population in 1860, in regard to the ability
to read and write for each State, and the adj
ditions which will be made to this class by
the adoption of the XVIII Amendment. The
tables are designed to show fearful predomi-
nance of ignorance among the voters in many
sections, particularly the South, and the ne
cessity of efficient school systems. Tables
have also been arranged to show that the pos
tai receipts, new inventions and internal rev.
enue receipts all decrease in direct proportion
to the increase in the number of the illiserate
Sunday i'm Paris.
Next Sunday, the 9th of May, the special
election will take place in the French Empire
to decide upon the ameliorations and conces-
sions of the empire, and also upon the contn-
uance of the Emperor's dynasty in the person
Of his son. Sunday is the day of the week in
Paris, and all over France the day of races,
theatres, concerts. balls, promenades, excur-
sions and marching, and also the day OF cleo
tons.

Republican Campaign Preparation

Republican Campaign Preparationss
A document looking to the future political
purposes Of the Republican party has been
drawn up by prominent Western Senator,
aud has been signed by every Republican in
the Senate. On Tuesday it was circulated
among the Republican members of the House
and signed SO far as it was presented. The
object is to convene grand caucus of all the
Republicans in Congress-there being over
two hundred members-for the purpose OF
devisiug ways and means and setting forth
the issues which the party will present to the
country in the coming fall elections for men,
bers Of the House of the XIII Congress. 1t
is intended to constitute a grand campai gn
committee to furnish documents, etc., and es-
pecially to look after the condition of the
Radical party in the Southern States, where
the contest is represented as likely to be close,
with fair prospect of Conservative results
This caucus will be held probably next week,
and it will be more important than an ordi-
nary caucus from the fact that it will make a
declaration of principles.
