The Labor Problem in LOulsiana.


Mr. bennett, the acricultural editor
of the Picayune, submits the following
observations on the above topic:
Planters are generally very much dis
couraged in view OF the present condition
of labor in the sugar parishes. The gener-
al opinion is that sugar planters can find no
money in negro labor at $50 a month and
rations. Every one seems 10 think something
must be done 10 secure more reliabl labor,
or the best lands in the Scrte will become
nearly worthless.
II is generally believed that the natural
increase of the black population falls short
OF the yearly mortality. Whisky and dis
ease are making sad havoc among the men
and women; the negro men murder each
other III the most brutal manner. and to an
extent in some parishes which l. appalling.
And the infants and small children are
for want of care and medicine when they
are sick.
Before the war the negro and white pop
ulation OF this State amounted 10 about
seven hundred and fifty thousand, the num-
| Der of The two races being about equal. At
! least twenty Thousand negroes have been
| brought To this stat since the War. and
| still the whites lack but about three thous-
I and five hundred OF having a population
| equal in number 70 that OF the black race
| Aud large mum bers OF our soldiers persisted
| in the war. while very few negroes lost
/ their lives in either army.
White men are now cultivating the helds
of this State TO the very borders OF the
marsh which lines the Gulf coast. And
white field laborers, their physicians say,
are a. healthy "a black hands.
With white labor We bring into the state
| improved implements of agricullu e and
economies such as we have never known
before.

From the Kinds County Gazette.

In another column of this paper may be
found a letter from Gen. Robt. Lowry, OF
Rankin county, addressed 10 the Governor
of the State, inviting attention TO the fact that
Mississippi is about to be swindled out OF
10000 acres of land, lying principally in
East Mississippi. The transaction, il viii
be seen, is fraudulent throughout, and a
carpet-bag and Radical theft, winked at,
and probably participated in, for consid-
Grafton, by both the Governor and Secreta-
~ of State. Gen. Lowry's letter should be
read by every one.

Policy Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad to the Indians,

The managers of the Northern Pacific
Railroad have adopted very admirable
policy towards the indians along the
line of the railroad. As means of dis
arming them Of their very natural hos
t'lity to the railroad. they have resolved
to conciliate them by affording employ
ment. and trading with them so far us
practicable. All who are willing to
work will be allowed to do SO at fair wa
ses. But still more effective plan has
been adopted. of purchasing of them
any supplies of food, cattle fuel, or
produce of any kind they may bring in.
Horses will be bought or hired by the
day with their owners. Every encour-
agement will be given them to settle
down on farms an. public lands, to en-
gage permanently in raising supplies
for the use of the railroad EMPLOYEES
and the advancing army of white set
tiers. Mr.. William Welsh and the other
members Of the Society of Friends. be-
longing to tie Indian Commi> sion. have
gone to Dacotah and Montana Terrific
rles on Government business, and have
been instructed by the railroad officials
to use their good Offices with the Indians
to indl,ce them to accept the very liberal
and sensible offers made to them.
This is sound policy. 1t is altogether
better. on the grounds of economy and
humanity, to hire the Indians than to
shoot them. A similar enlightened pol
icy during the construction CT the Union
Pacific Railroad would have saved loss
of life and much property.
The Indians. rs John Van Buren, used
to say of his party. "are a commercial
people" and would generally prefer Il
trinket to bullet.
The great railroad is now being rapid
ly pushed forward. enough being actu-
ally completed to entitle the Company
to grant of 100000 acres of land.
There can be no doubt that the whistle
of the locomotive scares off the game
the only means of Indian subsistence
and it is wise to offer them such equiva-
lents as may seem best calculated to
convert them into friends. If we do not
greatly mistake, this liberal policy is
likely to prove successful, and at any
rate the attempt to win over the Indians
of the far Northwest at the moment of
their first contact with advancing civili-
zation deserves the best wishes of the
frien ends of humanity.
