The Chinese Experiment in Texas a
Success.

The experiment with Chinese
labor in Texas has now been three
months in operation, and from
every point of view has proved a
decided success. The testimony
of President Baker and the onl-
GERS of the Central Railroad, IN
the further construction of which
the first body of Chinese brought
TO Texas is at work, is unanl-
NOUS as to the satisfactory de-
uortment in every way OF the
men employed. Steady at their
work, industrious when the con-
tract hours of labor have expired,
sober, frugal, willing and mlnp
full of the stip,ilations of their
a agreement, but exacting IN the
fulfllment of those in their favor
is the sum Of the evidence IN re-
lation to them. They find no in
convenience in the climate and
enjoy good health thus far; nor do
they anticipate any inability to
stand the higher temperature of
the coming summer.
Tn Contrast with this state OF
affairs among the Chinese, stands
the fact a number of the Swedes
who came to labor on the same
work have already given up their
contract and left for Minnesota,
declaring that they cannot endure
the hot sun, and must seek a
colder climate. We think this
result settles the question as to
the class of labor that must be
sought to revive the dropping in
dustry of our coast counties.
: For railway construction we are
informed that President Baker of
the Texas Central, President
young, of the Northern, and Re
ceiver Crosby of the Houston and
New Orleans Railroad, all unite
in the opinion that Chinese labor
is the only labor that they can
depend upon under the present
circumstances that attend the
State. With this conviction, two
of the three parties above men
toned already contemplate a large
increase in the number Of Chinese
in their employment.-Golvesto

Morey's disco1puehre
q. W. N.
~ Mr.. W. A. I'19ommedieu,
General superintendent for the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, has faxored " With file
of interesting papers relating to
Telegra ply in Eorope and Amer
lea.
The efforts Of Congress- to con-
solidate all of the bnes by pur-
chase and place then in charge
of the Post Office Department,
makes every thing valuable that
has a tendency to throw light
upon doubtful, it not danger
Gus enterprise.
The London News, Of March I'd,
thus notices a simolar system in
England:
'sThere is no Certainty about
the telegraph. 4. ereat system
Of informal Cop Muuication has
been smitten with palsy, and
Communication has pecome halt
ing and fitful. Tie post Office is
too muc hin a horry to do any
thing, even to Save time. The
result is not only swaste of time,
but an utter imp ossibihty of fix
ing the responsibility of such
waste.
If the Postmaster General and
Nj. scudamore donof succeed in
effecting great reforms, the pub
lie will regret that tbe business
was ever transfecred to their
hands,"
In Switzerland the statistics
show that the total expenditure
for telegraph service from 1859
to 1869, exceeded the receipts by
s179,733 IS, aud fostper that the
rates or tolls in the United States
are only one~balf tho average
rates in Switzer1and.
Competition has reduced the
rates as low as they can be to
pay a revenue, and any efforts on
the part of Con gress to lower them
must result in loss, which could
only he made up on the deficiency
bill.
Another great Objection to the
measure is the corr1pt use to
which it could be applied in the
hands of the Goverp1nent-the
lack Of means to recoFer against
operators, and the sspo wrong
idea in regard to the Post Office
awo uld soon destroy all confidence
in the business.
AT present the hapagement is
reliable, responsible and efficient,
and in our opinion ought not 70
be changed.
