and sub-bureaus at each village in the State;
let all arrivals first report at the central bu-
reau, and be distributed according to the va
rious demands Of the sub-bureaus throughout
the State. Whenever an immigrant arrives,
his name, age and birthplace, as well as his
trade or occupation, as well as letters OF refer
ence or recommendation, should be duly re-
corded for future reference. The farmer or
planter applying for a laberer has only to call
for the kind of laborcr, and the clerks at each
bureau, by referring 10 the books, can send
him the sort of persons he desires; he, the
farmer or planter, paying all expenses IN

this system working admirably in Paris, IN
getting employment for laborers and domes-
tics in every capacity; there it has proven not
only success, but of mutual benefit and pronC
to all parties. l cannot for moment see how
1t could be managed in those large European
cities In any other way. Some ten or Twelve
years ago the same system was commenced IN
New York City. The distributing bureau Tor
the great Northwestern States Is Castle Car
den in New York City. We never will sue
ceed to any extent until we adopt the joint
stock company plan, and no longer trust TO
the general intelligence of the people upon
this matter. The immigrant desires to come;
give him fhe means; place him at the door OF
those pleading for labor; secure good labor oy
references; make their contracts, and all VIII
move on harmoniously, and South Carolina
and the whole South will no longer dip their
colors to hatcrs of law, order and good gov
ernment."
This plan deserves consideration, especial
" by the State Institute and the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society. 1t IS plain
and apparently practicable. We confess
that the scheme of the PHenir correspon-
dent is not complete in every respect. There
are matters connected with the accommoda-
ton OF immigrant land'buyers which are not
discussed. 1t is, however, something 10 De-
gin with; something towards mature ana
practical scheme for the encouragement OF
European immigration. From the State
Government we expect no assistance. The
work must be done by the farmers and mer-
chants of the State. Upon them the whole
burden will fall, and they will reap the ben
eft. After the redemption of the State from
corrupt and prolligate rule, the work OF
immigration is the most important task that
lies before US, and the sooner we begin it the
better for South Carolina and the whole
Southern people.
