The HEATHEN CH1NEE.-The move
ment to introduce Chinese labor in
Louisiana appears to be successful.
Many of the richest and most infuen-
tiat planters of the State are en-
gagged in 1t as stockholders in the
Louisiana immigration Company, just
organized with capital of $3.50, 900,
in 500 shares. A Mr. Payne, who is
at present in China asagent Of several
individual planters, has engaged 1000
laborers in that country. and expects
to reach Louisiana with them in time
for the planting of the next crop.
They have all been selected from
the agricultural districts Of China.
and have agreed to work for eight or
ten years for IS a month in gold. The
Chinese at present in Louisiana live
in perfect harmony with the negroes.
They are nearly all unmarried young
men, and are neat and excellent work
men. They also appear to be per-
fectly contented. They are paid s13
a month in currency. Their cabins
are kept with great care and cleanii-
ness. No doubt Louisiana will soop
have a large Chinese population,

From the Bar to the Church.

We omitted to mention in our last
issue the loss which our Bar has sus-
tanned in the transfer Of Col. R. A..
Fair, ono Of it's most prominent and
esteemed members, to the ministry
of the Presbyterian Church: Our
loss, however, is its gain, and We may
we'll congratulate itupon the accession
of one who consecrates the powers
of vigorous and we'll disciplined
mind and the zeal Of an active man
hood to the duties Of a higher calling
and moro extended sphere. Colonel
Fair has long been a leading member
of the Presbyterian church Of this
place; and, Jealous il word and deed,
has been prominent in all the Church
Assemblies. His peculiar fitness for
the work of an evangelist has long
been apparent, and has led to call
from the Presbytery to become one
of its ministers. A call so imperative,
and harmonistng so we'll with the
bias of his own feelings, he felt himself
unable to resist, and by license Of
Prosbytery ho is now a preacher Of
the sacred Word. To his new calling
he brings no common cndowments-a
vigorous intellect-a persuasive clo-
quence-earnest piety-and active
zeal for the extension Of the Masters
kingdom. He carries with him the
best wishes of his late associates in
the legal profession, who will watch
with interest his future career in the
ministry, to which they feel assured
hc will prove valuable accession.

Mayor Of Charleston.

General John A. Wagner has been
nominated as a candidate for Mayor
of Charleston, at late convention
of delegates held in that city. ~''
The Charleston News says with
regard to the nomination
"The choice Is one that must meet
tho cordial appreciation and enlist the
earnest and active support Of every
citizen who has at heart the future
welfare of the city. General Wagner
is q man thoroughly identified with
the interests of Charleston, having
shared her fortune in Joy and in sor-
row, for nearly forty years.
"His character combines all the
elements which the Chief Magistrate
of city like Charleston should pos.
sess. Conservative, as to all that
ought to be retained, he is yet cmi-
nently progressive; patriotic, pure
and dignified, he is at once a man of
sound judgment and tried nerve. His
nomination 10 the Mayoralty by a
Convention representing all classes
and interests of the community is
indeed high and crownirg compli-
ment-not merely to his merits, but
also his popularity and strength. For
this time the citizens Of Charleston
are going in to win"

The Real Character Of the Ku Klux.

The Journl Of Commerce thus sums
up the conclusions Of it's intelligent
and fair-minded correspondent, Mr..
Copeland, who has written letter IN
that paper with regard to tho exist
ence and character Of the Ku-Klux
in the Southern States:
The conclusions that he reached
may be briefly set downsthus: Flor
ida has no Ku-Klux organization, but
lis cursed with her share Of outlaws,
like every State in the Union No
Ku-Klux band proper exists in Gcor-
gia. Alabama is equally free from
the pest, but in portions of North and
South Carolina there are gangs Of
prowlers, who sometimes rob and
murder. Tho leaders Of these are
dissolute whites, some Of them scions
| Of good families, and their followers,
especially in North Carolina, are fel-
lows who were the scum of society
before the war;. and are now only
gratifying their thirst for rapins and
blood. Their numbers are small, and
their maraudings confined to limited
districts. Owning horses, and having
the complete discipline and bond OF
secrecy which always obtain among
banditti the world over, and living in
a sparsely settled country, they fly
from this point to that WITH the speed
of the wind, defying detection, arrest
and conviction. and can keep q hun
drcd miles square in constant fer
ment. Like stage soldiers, who run
behind the scenes from one wing to
another, and then march past the
foot-lights in endless procession, these
X. X. KS impress the casual observer
as vast army, whereas, all told
they are but q handful, and if corraled
could be captured by . company o.
two of regular troops.
But there's the rub. Their game
is not to be caught-andAwenty regl
ments Of soldiers, mounted. might
not be successful in bagging them
That they will disappear as suddenly
as they sprung into noteriety, we
have no doubt-but their extinction
) will come from the clearing up and
Improvement of the South, politically
and socially. AS fever and ague van

ture, 80 the Ku Klux distemper vii

their rights and resume all the func
, tions Of selfgovernmcnt. Tho K.

though they profess to sympathiz'

they keep up by confning their ont
0 RACES mostly to negroes and Northern
or Southern Radicals. But the con

In the Midst of Life, We are in
....' Death" -. =.

Never have wc becn called upon
moro forcibly, to realize this truth,
than in the recent unexpected death
of Mrs. Louisa Haddon, tho young
wife Of Mr.. Marshall Haddon, and
the daughter Of our well-known
townsman, DR.. Isaac Branch. After
a short illness, she breathed her last,
on Saturday evening, the 9Th inst ,
leaving a bsrcaved husband and af-
aieted relatives to mourn their sad
loss. Onlya few months since she
was led to the marriage altar, radiant
with the hopes of many happy years,
and surrounded by bright throng
of many joyous spirits. But alas!
Death has come to dash tho cup Of
promised : biss-to change the
bridal wreath into fuaereal weeds
the rose and the myrtle, into tho cy-
press and the yew!-to prove how
frail is the tenure Of earthly joys, and
how vain are it's brightess hopes
With so much to bind her teflife, the
deceased was yet not unprspared to
die, and with a presentiment of hel
approaching end, she submitted to
the will of Providence, long a con
sistcnt member Of the Presbyterian
Church, and endeared to afafge circle
of friends, by kind heart, and cheer
full temper, she leaves the bright rec
ord of many virtues, and to sor
rowing relatives, the hope of happy
reunion hereafter. The funeral ser
vices were held on Sunday, in the
presence ofa large audi#eY in the
Presbyterian church by YAAPastor
the Rev. JAS. L. Martin, at which
the remains were consigned to the
Cemetery of the Upper Long Cane
church. .-.
