THE CHINESE.

We may disguise, or doubt, or dread
the fact of their coming as much as We
please, they are coming, and coming to
stay. The introduction of this new ele-
ment into our industrial life by their i'm
migration and labor is an event as certain
as that their labor is wanted and that
there is capital to pay them for their la
Dor. No restriction will keep them out
no prosecutions will drive them out. We
need not discuss the Chinese question in
any other light than as stubborn, una
voidable fact and the probable influence
it will have on the productions and bust
ness of our country. The first and most
important result of Chinese immigration
will be the cheapening Of labor; the next,
as the inevitable consequence, the cheap
ening of all manufactures on which they
my be employed; third, the driving out
of such employments of all native and
foreign Of our workingmen who will not
labor at low wages.
These results are Of the utmost i'm
portance, and deserve our most serious
reflections as to their consequences.
These new Immigrants have already
proven that they are willing and very apt
to learn any trade, and to adapt them
selves to any sort of industry requiring
skill and handiwork they are docile,
willing, patient, and content to live ct
less than half the cost of keeping any
other laborer, thus offering all the ncces
sary elements Of that cheap labor which
Is to supplant the high prices hitherto
paid in this country. They will pave the
way to the ultimate possibility of compe-
tition with the cheap labor of England,
and thus deprive the English manufac-
turer of the only real advantage which he
has over his American competitor. We
do not call this desirable prospect, but
we must consider it as the coming as the
inevitable Fact. What can we do to pre-
vent it? Nothing, unless our laboring
men conclude to take less wages for their
work and thus take away the only induce
ment for the introduction of Chinese la
Dor. 1t is not likely that they will do
this, and they must therefore find occu-
patton in agriculture in the great fields
of the West and South, leaving the
manufacturing cities and towns to their
cheap-Working competitors.
No class of immigrants can be kept out
of this country it is contrary to the
spirit of our people and of our govern
ment to legislate for the extension of any
class Of men and especially the poor and
industrious no such policy can ever be
carried out. There is no more reason for
making laws to prevent the Chinese labor
from coming here. then there is for legis-
lating against the immigration of the
Irish, Scandinavian, English or German
population. Otherwise America will soon
cease to be the home Of the free and the
only refuge of the oppressed of all nations.

EXPLORATION OF THE WHITE NILE.

The distinguished African explorer, Sir
Samuel Baker, has sent a letter to Sir Ro-
derrick Murchison describing his expedition
up to the 18th June last and giving an inter-
esting account Of the present condition of the
White Nile.
Previous to his departure from Khartum,
he had been assured that the Great White
Nile had ceased to be navigable river. 1t
appeared that the floating RATS of marah
vegetation which, in 1865, caused an OBJ
struction in the river between the mouths of
the Ghazal and Giraffe tributaries, having
been neglected by the Khertum authorities,
had increased SO much as to form now an i'm
penetrable barrier. The vast masses of float
ing islands continually brought down by the
stream had produced new district many
miles in extent, beneath which flows the cur
rent of the river. The slave traders, thus
slut out from direct communication with the
field of their enterprise, had, however, dis

credit that in an age of loose literature he is
like Scott and Dickens and Thackeray, pure
minded. He writes better English (because
more imaginative and loftier) than Charles
Reade, or any of that ilk. And while Wilkie
Collins outdoes him in plot, he outdoes Will
kie Collins and the rest of the plotters in de-
licacy and sweetness of touch. But it is
already too plain that (unless he gets more
leisure) the work which he has done, and
which the world has on its bookshelves, will
be the best of his doing. Should George
Macdonald rise hereafter above this present
point, high and good as it is, he will merit
and receive distinguished praise. And, as a
man hardly at the entrance of middle-life,
there is no reason why this should not be.
His hand has not lost its cunning, and his
eye is still undimmed.

FIRE ENGINEs.-The City of Oska-
loosa has already ordered a supply OF
the Chemical Works. Fire Engines.
Our own City Council is considering
about getting one of these Engines, to
cost about $500 we believe. This seems
to us good idea--that is, if the En-
CINE is as effective as we are told it is.
For ourselves, we don't believe that
the policy of tearing mans house
down to save it from burningup should
be considered when any better means
of safety is available. Ifthe town can
get good and serviceable Fire Engine
at reasonable cost, by all means let's
have it. OF course there could be tests
made or evidence procured sufficiently
before purchasing. The loss from one
fire would pay for a good many En-
gines.

CITY REGISTRATIoN.-T Charter
election of Knoxville comes on the 4th
of next month. Lists of voters are
now posted up in each Ward. Every
voter should examine the list for his
Ward, and see If his name is on it
correctly. If it is, all right; If not,
then he should remember it and have
it made right at the proper time. The
Mayor, Recorder, Marshal and Asses
sor will meet at the Mayors Office on
Monday, the 2Sth inst, as a Board OF
Registration, to correct the above lists;
and every voter should then see that
his name is enrolled. Ry neglecting
this he may be obliged to lose his
vote or swear it in at the polls and
show good reason for not being duly
enrolled.
The LIST ward is all south of Robinson
street; the I'd ward, all between Rob-
insOn and Main; the Sd, all north of
Main. The Registry list for the 1st
ward is at Kinne's Store; for the I'd
ward at Brobst's Store; and for the Sd
ut Poliok's Store.
