A German novel of sufficient merit TO deserve
translation into English, is almos. o rarity.
Novel making, as a branch of industry, certainly
does not flourish on the other side of the Rhine.
There is no German Walter Scott, or Fielding,
or Dickens, or Cooper, and Marryatt, James or
Mayne Reed in Germany would be a monstrosi.

Ash definition of a novel-"a good story we'll
told '-applies to few German novels To write
a mere story without depth of thought-philoso-
ply and spirituality-would be an objectionable
waste Of time. In the book before u.s. therefore.
we have, interviewer with deeply interesting
story, political tract of certainly more than or.
dlnary power, and yet wrought out with such
viyacity and .sprightliness as to lure one into

THE LABOR QUESTION.

Like all things else controlled by sup
ply and demand this problem will ulti-
mately settle itself, but the warning is
especially timely that before it is settled
it will prove the cause of ruin to many q
farmer. The prices of farm products
undergo great fluctuations, and this
year, perhaps, will demonstrate to thou
sands, that inefficient and expensive la
Dor has been the cause of ruin. In up
per Georgia the prices paid this year
for labor, less efficient, are higher thar
before the war and higher than the farm,
ing interest can afford.
What shall we do thcng Reduce and
enrich your area of cultivation; SOW
down Grasses and Rye for pasture; in
crease gradually your stock. In other
words lessen your necessity fol labor
without decreasing the value of your
farm products and be assured there is no
other way to meet the new order of
things.
Fifteen hundred Chinese are now on
their way to work on the Chattanooga
and Alabama Railroad. If the Rail-
roads have found out that our labor won't
pay, surely II is time our farmers had
discovered fact SO important and they
should look for labor that will pay its
way or adopt a system of husbandry
that by lessening its employment will
more than pay its cost.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1870-07-01

there is yet a question. Thus far in
their employment in America they have
taken no interest in her social or politi-
cal affairs, and show little inclination to
a permanent settlement.
Each one comes with the purpose OF
returning with confidence to the shores
of his native land, there to die, and ifper-
chance they do not return alive, their
bodies must finally be carried within the
walls of the empire of Confucius, and
there deposited. Missionary effort has,
however, done much to bring them to
conform to habits of civilization, and
may together with the attrition of supe-
rior humanity which may result in en-
Iightenment, lead them to embrace the
principles of stfanity. There rs even
now an approach to this on the shores
of the Pacific. Few of the young who
have arrived in late years worship in the
Joss houses. This is effected Indirectly
by the fact that the merchants and best
portion Of their race have renowned
this custom, and as the masses come
through contract by them, and see their
improved condition, they ANONYMOUSLY
drop out of the habits of their idolatry.
This is noticeable with the colony just
planted here IN Berkshire country. No
emblems of heather worship arc brought
hithcr, and each one is looking forward
with eager expectancy to the teachings
of the Sabbath school. There is scarce
Iy one Of the Chinese of California who
owns a foot of land. They seem to take
little pride in agricultural pursuits. This
may, however, be the result of the little
opportunity they have.
The men here are ak of small stature
and slight build. Some of them will yet
increase, however, as their ages range
from eighteen to twcnty-three years.
They arc not very hardy looking, and
seem poorly fitted for any heavy work.
They will make good shoemakers, and
will also fill to satisfacti m any position
in other manufacturing institutions and
in the household.
The movement Of Mr.. Sampson is ex-
citing considerable interest among the
manufacturers of the Eastern States. Last
night gentleman arrived here from
Jersey City to investigate the New pro
icct, while others come from Troy, n.
Y, and towns nearer this village. Mr..
S. is daily in receipt of numerous letters
of inquiry, some of which we have seen,
and all of which look favorably to the
scheme.

PURrTAN1sM.

To characterize the MARIETTA JOUR

the next, to deny having done 50, is
characteristic of the Atlanta Era, and
something we might readily have antici-
pated il it had been of any Importance.
We admire the Era in many respects.
It is admirably printed "a shrewd news
paper, but unscrupulous, and we do not
always expect from it fair argument or
regard for fact

ritanism. 1t taught them to resist tax

upon its noisy, turbulent, vulgar, cor

magnanimity or true nobility of soul.

They have not yet fairly commenced the
labors of shoe making, but are at pres
ent engaged in fixing up" their quar-
tcrs according to their ideas of conven-

domestic purposes four rooms, fitted up
at the rear end of Mr.. Simpsons substan-
tial brick buildings. These arc the
washing-room, also used for bathing, the
kitchen, the dining-room. and sleeping
room. The sleeping accommodations
for the whole seventyfve are in one
room. In the centre, facing outward to-
ward each wall, are rows of berths one
above another to the height of FIVE. Each
has a good mattress, blankets and other
necessary articles, and their occupants
have added curtains, shelves, &c, all tho
works of their own hands, and done very
neatly, although comparatively unskill-
ed in the use of tools. Their capacity
for learning and love of knowledge evince
themselves in every movement. They
are picking up words OF English every
hour, and once the pronunciation and
meaning of word is distinctly under
stood, it is fixed in the mind forever
They are pleasant, affable, observing

speaking to all they have seen once be-

HON. FRANCIS HUGHES ON THE XVIII
AMENDMENT.

At recent meeting of the Dcmocra-
cy of Schuylkill county, Penn, Mr..
Hughes made the following remarks:
Now that the XVIII Amendment is
passed, the petticoatS arc coming out
for the XVIth. The Supreme Court
will probably be called on to say wheth-
or the people of any State can force the
negro as an elector on tho white men of
Pennsylvania. The laws of nature are
much stronger in tho human breast than
can ever be the behcsts of a party,
though it may serve tho interests of that
party. He bclicvc with Senator Doug
lass, that this is While mans govern
ment, founded by wLitc men, for white
men and their posterity forever. If the
right of suffrage be boon to the dark
les, they are under no obligations for il
to the Democratic party. Prolonged
applause. They owe it to the Rcpub'
lican party, and may vote with them, as
they no doubt will. 1t is true some Of
them have good deal of white blood
and a good deal of sense, and arc quite
intelligent. Only an hour ago he had
heard unprecedented individual giving
lectures to some young lawyers on the
French and Italian languages, and quite
probably ho was more at home on that
subject than they were. Yet the worst
enemy is he who clevates the negro to a
level with tho white man, or rather re-
duccs the white man to level with the
negro. 1t is degrading the one, and
forces the other out of his natural posi-
ton. They now already want their
councilmcn in the city of Philadelphia,
and their school controllers. They want
their children to sit side by side with
the white children in tho schools. AS
Fred. Douglass said, they want the
three boxes, the ballot-box, the .jury-box
and the cartridge. Only lately a gen
tIeman told me that in ono of our States
he saw a white man tried by jury of
nine negroes and three white mcn.--
Reason must eventually resume its sway.
As long as tho Supreme Court has not
declared it unconstitutional, the Demo
cratic party, as law abiding party,
must submit to it. But tho same power
that did it can undo it, and the time will
and must como when that part of the
constitution will be entirely wiped out
and expunged as was the resolution Of
the United States Senate ccnsuring Gen
eral jackson. Look at the signs of the
times since the adoption of tho amend
mcnt. Connecticut, before Republican
elects a Democrat, and the Radical Gov
crnor is superseded by his Democratic
competitor, English. Then came New
York, with its immense majOrities fol
Democratic candidates for the Judges o.
the Court of Appeals. We were at tirst
surprised to hear that the majority was
$4,000, then it was $4,000, then 1000,
then $4,000, and now it is about 10000
and he did not know whether it would
stop short of 100000. This is glori-
Gus yindication of the natural law stamp
ing the white man as the superior. The
Democratic party should not cease to
agitate and yindicats the white mans
rights.

MEDICINE.

Cherokee Indian Bitters possess an
energy which seems to communicate
new life to the system, and renoyate
the feeble, fainting powers of nature
Its operation upon the tissues of the
body, does not consist in affecting tho
irritabiity of the living fiber, but in inn
parting a sound and healthy stimulus to
the vital organs. 1t strengthens sub
stantially and durably, the living power
of the animal machine; is entirely in
nocent and harmless; may be admins
tered with impunity to both sexes, and
all ages and conditions of life. There
is no disease of any name Or nature,
whether of young Or old, male or female,
but that it is proper to administer it,
and if it be done seasonably and perse-
veringly, it will have good effect. 1t
is perfectly incredible to those unac-
quainted with the Cherokee Indian Bit
lers, the facility with which a healthy
action is often in the worst cases rcstor-
ed to the exhausted organs of the sys-
tenn with degree of animation and
desire for food, which is perfectly as
tonishing to all who perceive it. This
medicine puriics the blood, restores the
tonic powers of the fbcrs, and of the
stomach and digestive organs; rouses
the animal spirits, and substantially for
titles and teammates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
