quantity of good plant cane and cannot secure the
hands to put in the ground and cultivate it, Many
have sent agents to Virginia, but there the
petition and demand are great to obstruct and
discourage hiring and emigration The Virginia ne
groes are willing to come. Those who have already
arrived send back most encouraging of their
improved condition. But Virginia negroes are like
other people-desirous of making the best bargains
they can-and when they perceive such rush and de-
mand for their labor they naturally set higher esti-
mate upon their value, and raise the prices of their
labor Meantime the crowd of idle negroes in the
city increases, and in little while there will be large
number out of employment. Then will there be

General Assembly OF Louisiana under the constitution
of 1868, while their hopes doomed to disap.
pOintment which little reflection would have obvi-
ated, During the three regular sessions of the
ordinary body which has legsated for the people of
Louisiana, several parishes have been created in
all probability to subserve the interests of the Radical
party and during those three sessions and besides of
an extra session of ten days. provisions have been
made by the Legislature towards the representation of
these new parishes in the next General Assembly of
Louisiana. The people Of these parishes have con-
stitutonal right to be represented which right
has either purposey or otherwise been neglected when
the new parishes created. The consequence is
simply this the first Legislature of Louisiana under
the constitution OF 1868, which supposed to be
