The Chinese.
THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE sorrI.

THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE SOUTH.
A correspondent writing from Alabama Says
there are over one thousand Chinese laborers at
work in that State, on the Hudson and Clia.ta-
nooga Railroad. They are popularly called Pig
tails, and do not object to the nickname. They
came under a two-years' contract, made through
the agency of Mr.. Koopmanschap. These labor
ers receive SIC month, in gold, and their board.
They will not take paper equivalent for their
about their persons, with no fear of thieves
among their own numbers. They carry much
more baggage, cooking utensils, and SO forth,
than negro hands; and they sleep in tents, 4
dozen together, along the line of the road. One
of their number has died since their arrival; his
remains were buried by his comrades cofiined,
in shallow grave, with candle and matches,
bowl of cooked AND a bag of raw rice, and pair
of chop-sticks. The clothes of the dead man
were burned bseide the grave, and headboard
was inscribed with the name, age, residence and
date of death, in Chinese characters. The labor
ers intend to carry the body home with them
when they return to China. Still another China.
man has been killed by blow from brutal and
reckless white overseer: his comrades started to
avenge him on the spot but were checked by
the display of pistol; and the officers of the
law have taken no notice of the murder, and the
overseer continues in Office over another gang.
The Chinese do not like Alabama very we'll, and
look forward eagerly to getting away. Two of
them even started to walk to San Francisco but
gave it up after trying twenty miles. The rail
think they are neither better nor cheaper than
negro laborers for the heavy work of railroad
building and the experiment is not likely to be
initiated in that section.

is 1T TRUE THAT HE WAS pAID 800, 900 IN BONDS
FOR LOBBYING?

We referred, a day or two ago. to a statement
by Democratic speaker at recent meeting in
Kent County, charging connection between DIR.
Salisbury, Of Dover, (now Governor Of this
State,) and certain Lottery organization in New
York City. This charge is further referred to by
the Smyrna Times, and we understand it to be
this
That in 1859, a certain Lottery Firm of whom
man named France, Of New York City, was one,
sought to procure a law from the Legislature of
Delaware, giving authority to their business.
With this view, they bribed number Of promi-
nent men in this State, to lobby the bill,
(corruptly,or otherwise through the Legislature
and that DR.. Salisbury being one of those thus
bribed, received s6O,OOO., il, The bonds of a.e
Lottery Firm as his price. Recently, however,
it proved that France, who issued the bonds,
failed, and went into bankruptcy, and upon the
schedule Of his debts, stated this amount Of
S60,000., due to Governor Salisbury.
This is the charge as we understand it to be
made, the person who makes the allegation being
Mr. Elias 8. Reed, of Dover prominent Demo-
cratic lawyer, and recently member Of the
Legislature. The Smyrna Times further says:
by prominent Democrats Of the county, showing
that Governor Salisbury was paid the snug sum
Of 10000 for his aid in lobbying the France,
Broadbent & Co., lottery scheme through the
Legislature. Fortunately the State was afflicted
with the scheme but for a short time. Thus the
man that fills the Executive Chair of our State,
not satisfied with his emoluments, perquisites
and pickings from its well-bled treasury, was
willing to sell his influence for the accomplish
ment Of an act which might have robbed the
Commonwealth, the hand that feeds him, of its
honor and good name"
This is serious charge. DIR. Salisbury, who,
If these charges are true, has been thus guilty
Of lending himself to most corrupt, infamous,
and demoralizing scheme, is now Governor of
the State, and at the head of privately organized
political Ring which, for years, has exercised
an almost complete control over the States
entire interests. He is moreover, prominently
named as the successor of his brother, Willard
Salisbury, in the q. s. Senate if his party should
retain control in the Legislature.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
SENATOR WILSON ON THE STUMP.
THE CITY HALL CROWDED.

The announcement that Hon. Henry Wilson,
of Massachusetts, would address our people on
the National issues involved in the present cam
paign, of course drew large crowd to the City
Hall, Thursday evening, for there is no one
amongst the many statesmen of to-day, who
commands higher measure of popular affec-
tion, and respect in this city, than the Senator
from Massachusetts.
Long before the meeting was organized nearly
all the available seats in the hall were occupied,
and by the hour fixed for assembling, the hall
was densely crowded, and crowds were gathered
around the the doors and windows. When the
band arrived It could scarcely press through the
dense assemblage to get to the stand, while
hundreds OF people turned away from the hall
unable to find an entrance.
The Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, Mr.. Lewis, called the meeting to
order and it was organized by the appointment
of the following offcers
President, John II. Adams.
Vice Presidents, 1st Ward, Philip Plunkett
I'd Ward, Nicholas Jonny Sd Ward, Peter Nc
Cullough 4th Ward, VIM. H. Griffin 9th Ward,
James Scott; 9Th Ward. Philip -Quigley 7th
w Ward, s. S; southard sth Ward, Joseph Pusey;
Secretaries, +. A. Taylor, Patrick Holland,
Theo. Crib, Wm.H Connell, Henry Schoenherr,
John L. Frock.
Senator Wilson, when introduced by the chair
iuuu, Mdo I6c6N6u Will uthrly dppiubb, huu
opened his speech with an alluson to the past,
that he had, fifteen years ago, stood on that plat
form and advocated the principles he should ad-
vocate tonight, then, however, he spoke to
mere handful of men instead of to such great
crowd as he met tonight. He then eloquently
reviewed the record of the great Republican
party, and also criticised a speech of Senator
Salisbury at Newark, to which he Senator
WILSON, had listened. We can attempt no ab-
stract OF his speech which was an hour and
half in delivery, and which was frequently inter-
i1,pted by enthusiastic applause. At its conclusion
u gentleman in the audience moved a vote of
thanks to the Senator for his eloquent and able
address, which was of course unanimously
passed.
Joshua L. Head was then called for and made
Il brief address, expressing his hearty delight in
Senator Wilson'S speech, and his pride at being
member Of y party which could show such
record as had just been sketched.
Mr Head was heartily applauded and the
meeting still being eager for speeches. made
calls for Messrs Bird and Higgins. Mr.. Higgins
was introduced and made brief but telling
speech, in which he alluded to the numerous
black laws" that still disgrace the statutes of
or State, nnrepealed. though nullified by
national legislation. He said the Republican
party in its legislation had taken away from the
States no rights but the right to do wrong, the
right to oppress the individual citizen.
The meeting adjourned with cheers for the
Republican candidates.
The City Cornet Band was present and dis
cpnrsei delightful music.

We now SEQ it stated that amongst the schemes

THE RING D0DGING--KEEP THEM TO
THEIR RECORD.


Governor sauisbury and all his coterie Of
orators declare the Fifteenth Amendment the
true issue of the campaign in Delaware. In other
words, they desire to debate the propriety Of o
measure which is positively and finally adopted.
It is such an effort as that of an attorney who
should desire to argue his case in Court after
tile verdict of the jury had been rendered and
recorded.
The purpose of this effort is very plain. The
members Of the Ring hope to prevent discussion
Of State affairs. They perceive that, unless they
can raise an insensate and snreasoning clamor,
once more, based on the prejudice against the
colored people, the attention of the people will
naturally revert to tho condition Of Delaware,
under the Ring management, and they knop that
such an examination toiH be fatal 10 The continu-
ance Of their corralpt control.
1t is most appropriate, therefore. that all
classes of citizens should study the public
interest, at this election. Seeing how anxious
The present officers OF the State are to auoid
.nvestigation the determined purpose Of the
people should only be more steadily pressed to
that work. There are too many alarming facts
already known to permit it to pause. They have

Naples, with yellow and crimson stains,
Cones from the odorous pine,
Oak leaves fretted with purple veins,
Tangled and trailing vine;
Tall ferns, and mosses and red birch leaves,
WI the damp Of the woods In their stems,
Grains and grasses from broken sheaves.
Scarlet berries like gems;
Acorn cups stole from some fairy's bower,
Nuts In their ripe russell brown,
Fruit branch and berry, rose-leaf and nower,
Fit for some Kingdoms crown.
Purple and crimson, scarlet and gold,
No Queen on her throne half 80 gay,
No sceptre more royal TO wield or to hold,
Than my fragrant, my sweet wood-bouquct

The Independent movement is revolt against
