TIE Asiatic crowds upon the African
in Louisiana, which State will soon have
q large Chinese population. One thou
sand laborers, in addition to those al
ready there, are engaged by an agent in
China, and it is believed that in a short
time Louisiana viii have tens of thou
sands of Mongoliaus performing the labor
hitherto done BY negroes. It is not to be
disguised that negroes are being crowded
out of positions, not by Mongolisns
alone, but by white men, natives and
foreigners. And it is the fault of the negro
that this state of affairs has been brought
about Before the war he was valuable
in any position in which he was placed;
now the greet body of the negroes have
become so unreliable in any capacity as
10 be regarded as almost worthless, aud
the result is that those who are disposed
TO do right often suffer from the charsc-
ter of the unworthy. The leading ne
groes have an important work to perform
in educating their race to habits of in
dustry and strict Observance of their
obligation to those who employ them.

rszE ACT AGAINST CARRYING
CONCEALED WEAPONS.
The Bolivar Bulletin points out-e case
in which the act against carrying con-
csaled weapons appears to operate rather
harshly. 1t is stated that some time in
February III. v. Lacefeld aud man
named Stone, citizens of the southeast
portion of Hardeman county, left
home for the purpose of rafting saw logs
down Hatchie river. Mr.. Stone had in
his possession small Derringer pistol.
After making the run to the mills near Boil
ivar, they sold theiflogs, and taking the cars
started for home via Grand junction.
On arriving at the Junction, Mr. Lace
field get into a difficulty with negro
who was armed with double barreled
shot gun and large pistol. He here
borrowed the pistol from Stone, as he
AYERS, for self protection. But there APP
pears to have been no occasion for using
the pistol. When the eastern bound
train arrived, Lacefeld got on it and
started on his journey; arriving at Poca-
hontas, he there got into difficulty with
another negro; the pistol was exposed to
view, and he was indicted before the
grand jury under the law and true
bill found, and the case came up
for hearing on the 23d of July. The
defendant proved that when the raft
was started down the river, neither
himself nor Stone knew where they could
sell their logs; that if they had not sold
them al Bolivar, they would have gone on
to mills below that point, situated in Madi-
son or Haywood counties, thus establish
ing the feet that they were both on q
journey which very possibly would take
them cut of Hardeman county; and coun-
sci commended that, If a person had right
to take his property out of bis county, he
had right to bring it back again. The
Attorney General held that defendant had
violated the law; and that, although
hs had been on journey, that
Journey did not take him out of the
county. He maintained that in order to
avail himself of this special provision of
the act, man must actually be on
stated and unmistakable journey out of
county OF State, ard that possibilities and
probabilities could not be entertained in
the premises. With but few remarks on
either side the case was closed. Judge
Flippin charged the jury, who, after
short absence, returned a verdict or
guilty, and the defendant was fined 80
and costs, and his term of Imprisonment
fixed at thirty days in the county jail.
The case was appealed, and goes to the
Supreme Court.
Under recent decisionof the Supreme
Court, man can swagger around at his
ease with big pistol bel.ed around him
snd exposed to view, but if he puts
small pistol in bis pocket, he is liable to
fine and imprisonment. But he is not la
BILE to such punishment if he carries the
concealed pistol for self defense on a
journey out .of his county.

PROSPECTING.
The New York Henpld has begun it's
figuring as to the probable result of the
next Presidential election. 1t says that
many circumstances may happen between
this time ard the election in November,
1879, which may change the political
prospect:
The approaching elections in the fall OF
tits year viii both indicate and nave an
important bearing upon the result. Inc
action of Congress during the next SEES
sion NAV have great influence in deciding
the question one way or the other. Then
the harmony or want of harmony in either
or both the great parties and the character
of the Presidential candidates may turn
the scale. Besides, some accident may
oecur-some event like that of the New
York riot-to operate upon public feeling
and opinion. 1t is early, therefore, TO
make reliable calculations.
The Herald's conclusion is that the
result is very doubtful and that the battle
ground will be in the two great central
States, New York and Pennsylvania.
One may save the Democracy; both
would in all probability give them the
election, while the loss of both would no
doubt give the election to the Republi-
cans:
1t is probable that we may have sim-
liar contest to that of 1856, when the
election was very close, and when,
through the personal popularity of Mr..
Buchanan in his own State of Pennsyl-
vania, together with the skillful manage
ment of the campaign, the issue was
decided by few hundred votes only.
If the Democrats can hold the State
of New York, they might as was
said before, succeed without Penn
sylvania; but in view Of recent events
there may be some doubt of this State.
They ought, under any circumstances, to
look TO Pennsylvania as the Keystone
State, Just as il was in 1856. They
should concentrate most of their energies
and means there, and begin early to do
that. The last Congressional elections IN
Pennsylvania; indicated that revolution
was taking place, and that the prospect
for the Democrats was good.
Let US look into the probable vote by
States. There are S17 electoral votes,
and il takes $50 to elect. If we take the
States that are generally acknowledged to
be Democratic, and those which were carr
ried by the Democrats at the last election,
as an indication of what the vote of the
Electoral College may be, the result
would be about as follows:

A HEAL, live prince was play hing
thstonce amused the Welsh mountaineers,
but for centuries the Prince of Wales has
been such only in name, and the substan-
tial benefit or supposed honor to the
Welsh has been microscopic. But at
length princes have become so plentiful
in The reiguing family, that even poor
Ireland can be spared one. We are told
that Prince Arthur is to be dubbed
'Duke of Connsught." Why 'Duke, "
and not 'sPrince of Connaught," is a
mystery, but Ireland should be thankful
for even email fsyors. This new dignity
ct least places the favored province on q
par with Edinboro' town, which also
sports Duke.
