Large numbers of immigrants
have arrived at our wharf by
the Carter Line from st. Louis,
Cairo, Memphis and other way

sons are going and returning
by this line, who are looking at
the country with the view of
selecting homes.
Over 30 farmers from Illinois
were at Cairo few days since,
waiting for the steamer Shreye.
They have their cattle, wagons
and farning utensils, and con-
template moving to Texas.
We would suggest to our
large land owners to use their
best exertions to induce these
hardy industrious people to set
tie among us. Offer them land
at reasonable prices, either foI
purchase or lease for a term OF
years. Extend To them a aor-
dial welcome, and give them
assurance that neither politics,
religion, nor place of birth will
detract from their claims as
citizens. We must establish an
equilibrium between the races
and create a healthy competi.
ton. The best interest of both
races viii be secured by such a
consummation. The time has
arrived when our people must
devise ways and means by
which the State may be restor-
ed to its former prosperity, and
the first step to be taken is to
Increase our white population.

Montgomery, Ala, must be
an exceedingly pleasant place
in which to reside. We would
recommend gentlemen of ele-
CANT leisure to go there-and
especially poor white girls
Some of the sweets of the place
are thus described by the Mail:
SIT is no unusual thing to see
the poorer class of white girls
arrested by negro police in this
city, and locked up or led about
the streets by a lusty negro,
with a club in his hand and
star on his breast, locking for
their friends to become their
securities on same trivial charge
ofdisorderly conduct, throwing
Stops in the streets, or some
thing of the kind. This is one
of the fruits of Radical rule, and
is necessary to conciliate the
sons of Ham and perpetuate
Radical power. On Sunday
morning last six negroes
mounted and armed with dou.
ble-barrel shot-guns, rode
through the principal streets Of
our city with a young white
man from the country, whom
they had arrested. They tied
his arms tightly behind him
and one of the number held hin
by a rope tied around his neck
In this condition they haG
brought him about % miles, tc

An Arkansas genius conceived
that monkeys would, on account
of their nimble fingers, make
splendid cotton pickers with a lit
tie training, and further calculated
that one good hand could manage
about ten monkeys, and the ex-
pense of cotton picking be reduced
to a minimum. When the expert
ment was tried, however, it was
found that instead of one good
hand being able to manage ten
monkeys, it required about ten
good hands to one monkey.

Swedish Superstitions.
A VARIETY OF CURIOUS IDEAS
AMI ILLUSIONS.

AMI 1ILOG1O1NSs
In certain parts of Sweden,
when the bride comes home from
church, her mother meets her at
the house door, and slips a piece.
of sugar or a coffee bean into her
mouth, which is supposed to have
the effect of teaching her economy.
There is popular belief that a
woman will always have a distaste
for the first thing that she eats
after marriage; and therefore it is
thought right to set her against
such expensive luxuries as coffee
and sugar. It hardly needed a
ghost from the grave or popular
superstition to tell us that, "if
several couples are married at the
same time, ill-luck will attend one
or the other of Them" for it would
be strange if amongst many fami
lies all were to be favored. We
are told that children born on
Sunday do not live long; but, if
they do survive, they will be able
to discover ghosts and destroy
dragons that keep watch over
hidden treasures. The moment
a child is born, its parents hurry
it off to be baptized, thinking that
Satan has power over it till the
ceremony is performed. Mr.. Lloyd
himself bears witness to the ex-
istence of this superstition. He
was once taking shelter for the
night at a cottage, in the depth of
wild forests, during the coolest
part of the winter. During the
night a child was born in the cot
tage, and, two or three hours later,
was carried off to the clergyman's
house, several miles away, the
Thermometer being far below zero.
One of the customs connected
with Swedish funerals is that a
small looking-glass is placed in
the coffin of an unmarried female,
SO that when the last trump sounds
she may be able to adjust her
tresses before she stands at the
bar Of the great tribunal. The
strangest snperstitions on the
subject of diseases are that dropsy
is only durable while the patients
mother is alive, and that toothace
is cured by rubbing thetooth with
a nail, and then driving the nail
into growing tree. The result of
this is that the toothache is trans
ferred to the tree SO long as it
continues growing; but if any one
cuts down or Injuries the tree, he
will have the toothache. No doubt
the groans which sometimes pro
coed from trees, and of which Mr..
Disraeli has given a catalogue in
one of his novels, are caused by
this inherited pain. During still
weather it is not felt, but high
winds make it moro poignant.

The Profit of Sugar Culture.

Compared with the profits de-
rived from the cultivation of 9th
er crops, sugar planting offers
greater inducements to the farmer
than any other branch of agricul-
ture. No crop is more reliable,
for it seldom or never fails; and
as the sugar producing region of
the world is limited, the article
will always bring a good price.
Last week we had the pleasure
of meeting Mr.. Meynard, brother
Of Mr.. E. Meynard, of Cyprcmort,
who has lately Illustrated what a
new beginner can do at sugar
planting. At the close of the war
he was left withoutmeans or land;
but having a large stock of ener-
gy, he commenced by purchasing
row of cane in neighbours gar,
den, which he planted, and in
about two years he had one arpent
and three fourths of unusually
good cane ian arpent is about a
sixth less than an acre., with
which he planted twenty arpents
although the average is only
about five arpents to every arpent
of'seed cane. Having favorable
weather, by thorough cultivation
his twenty arpents of cane yielded
forty-three hogsheads of sugar
besides molasses enough to pay
for taking off the crop.
Now, when it is known that
good seed cane is worth, in the
field, from S100 to $3.50 per ar
pent, and one man can cultivate
half as much cane as corn, it viii
be seen what a profit the cultiva
ton of sugar yields. The income
OfMr. Meynard'S first crop enabled
him to buy a plantation, which
now, in five years from the time
he commenced, is fully stocked
having a sugar house and all nee
essary machinery, and everything
paid for.
Such examples of rapid pro
gress are few, it is true; but wha
one man has done, many other.
can do if they will only work 70
it; and We believe the day is no
far distant when hundreds of new
settlers will demonstrate the trutl
of this assertion.- Neao Iberia S,l

How it Happened That South
Carolina ssWent Radical.

The election in this State is
over. The result is the actual
subversion and destruction Of the
franchise in South Carolina. On
the seaboard and islands the ne
groes, in savage crowds, held the
ballot-boxes, and crammed them
with all the Radical tickets sent
to them. The negro women were
even more violent than the men;
and, with arms in hand, these bru
tai mobs attacked, beat and drove
off every man, white or black, who
showed or tried to vote the reform
ticket. In the middle counties
the negro militia did the same SER
vice, and although negro boys of
fifteen to twenty years of age were
seen to vote, no white man ven
tured to challenge them. Not
only minors but felons, well known
convicts for burglary, grand lar
ceny, &C., voted, and repeated
often enough to count from five
to ten votes each. The Conserva-
tive negroes only exhibited their
sentiments passively by staying
away from the polls. In the up
upper counties, where the whites
were in the ascendancy, the peo-
pie were overawed by Grants
troops in addition to SCOTS mill
tia. The law of violence and in
tinidation controlled everywhere;
savage negro mobs on the sea-
board, negro militia IN the middle
country, and negro militia and
United States troops in the up
country. 1t is ridiculous to call
this an election.
| COUNTING THE VOTES.
Besides all this, the present in
famous election Law, passed by
SCOTS Legislature, keeps the
| whole matter, as it was designed
to do, in the hands of the robber
crew. Three commissioners are
appointed by Scott for each coun-
lty, who have the entire control of
the election. These, in every in
stance, are SCOTS tools. They, in
turn, appoint their creatures man
ayers at the different boxes, and
when the polls close the boxes are
Jail placed in the private custody
of the threo commissioners and
kept by them for ten days, during
which time they count the votes
privately and declare the result.
Nearly all these commissioners
and managers were candidates on
the Radical ticket in the late cleo
ton. Hence very little interest
| is felt as to what their returns will
be. tits taken for granted they
will report heavy Radical MAORI.

The Major accommodation.

The Encyclical of his Holiness, which is
in this days MORNING STAR, will be found
among the most important that a pontificate,
crowded with great events, has produced.
The Latin text appeared in the pages of the
Correspondence de Geneve, Cath Ole jour
nal recently started in Geneva. The delay
in its appearance-it is dated on the LIST
inst.--is accounted for by the kilograms
from Florence stating that the Catholic
journals, among which are named the
Verita Cattolica and Armonia, having pub
lished the Encyciical, have been seized.
The reason is assigned for this proceeding,
so characteristic of a revolutionary govern
ment. 1t is, that in the Papal document in
question, q" the Pope communicates those
who ordered, advised and executed the in
vasion of the Pontifcal States" No doubt
he does; nay, he does more. He points ont
in words, as clearly as words can do it,
without actually naming him One man
call those distinguished by any rank, eren
that Worthy Of most special mention, scho,n
etc. "It is unnecessary" says the London
Tablet, in publishing the fact, for US to
be more explicit than the Pope has thought
ct be; or to name the individual thus
stricken with the Major decentralization.
The ecclesiastical position of that unhappy
parsonage is now unmistakably defined.
Hitherto he has, no doubt, by his many
crimes and sacrileges committed in times
