SOUNDING. THE ALARM Daddy
Cain, ir,;the last number Of the Mis-
sionary Reeord, assures the faithful
that since the elections a great change
has come over Governor Scott, who,
having accomplished the desire of his
heart will make the negroes keep
their places, and turn South Carolina
into a white mans State, by removing
the colored officials and filling the va
cancies with white men. The idea is
that Governor Scott can secure,
through the present Legislature, the
completion Of the Blue Ridge Rail
road, and will upon his retiring from
the Gubernatorial chair, become Pres
idcnt Of what may then bo the most
important railroad in the South. Dad.
dy Cain declares, therefore, that the
negroes do not intend to be sold out,
and that the leading colored men
must counsel together and frame and
act upon an independent policy, with
which no white man will be allowed
to interfere.

LABOR AND IMMIGRATION MEET.
- r. ING ON MONDAY:

A. meeting of our citizens, accord
ing to previous announcement, was
held in tho Court House on Monday
last, for the purpose Of considering
the all.important subjects of labor
and immigration. DR.. J.. W. Hearst
yves called to the Chair, and the Rev
IT'S. Bofnest, of Pomaria, Newbcrry
District, who was present by invita-
ton, requested to address the meet.
ing. Mr.. Boinest is the active and ef.
fcient President Of the 'Newberry
Immigration Society, . pioneer OF
the movement in the State, and the
gratifying success Of which has been
such as to stimulate all kindred enter
prises elsewhere. The speaker gave
an interesting review of the objects
of the Society, aud the history of its
past operations. 1t was intended to
supplement not TO sunplant colored
labor. Skilled efficient labor was the
crying necessity of the South, to the
importation of which every effort
= should now be directed. The success
Of the Newberry Society was epcour-
aging. 1t had encountered obstacles,
and suffered losses; but of the five
hundred immigrants that it had intro
duced, over sixty per cent. had re-
maiped-a potent element of material
development, and industrial progress.
TO aid in this progress-not to make
Q money for the members-was the de-
sign Of this Society. The cost of the
laborer, was some sic, (to be refunded
By tho laborer,) besides small fee of
$tato the Society, to cover incidental
expenses. The hire of tho laborer,
when money wages were paid, was
$40 per month, to DO increased
70 sl5, besides board at Sc per month.
AlIof this was expensive, and toe OK
pense could not be betrayed under the
old system. But the labor was intel
telligent and effective, and would in
tho end be most profitable. We shall
notpretend to give even a synopsis
of the Address which was highly in
tercsting and instructive. At its con-
clusion complimentary vote of
thanks was rendered.
No organization was attempted on
Monday last, but spirit was aroused
which we trust will bear fruit. In
the meantime all OF our citizens who
desire to procure immigrants shouid
avail themselves Of the kind aid of
Mr.. Boinest, which he has literally
rendered. He is going North next
month. Address Rev. T. S. Boinest,
Pomaria, e.

The NINTH CESsus.-Though the
results of the census Of 1870 arc not
fully collected, enough has been as
ccrtaincd to establish that the popu-
.lation Of the United States is about

mates that the principal change in
the. proportionate political power Of
the country will be the transfer Of
nearly onc-tbird of that now held by

Of political power by the act of eman-
cipation.
