time lay Town rules for the organisation of re-
latiOns which are otherwise left to be determin.
ed by the employers themselves, by agreements,
which they make binding between themselves,
and to which the labourers consent by their
contracts. Whatever singularity might appear
to exist in this, would no doubt disappear when
it is borne in mind that the Labour-R Regulations
aim at the maintenance of an occupation in
which the whole island is engaged,-a cOmbina-
ton of agriculture and manufacture (sugar-cul-
tlvatiOn and sugar manufacturer and an Occu-
patton Of such Importance, that this little
Community is solely dependent on it. This
lastmentiOned circumstance may with justice
be considered sufficient warrant for the Legis-
lature to prescribe rules, which are never want
ing elsewhere whenever a uniform occupation
in an Individual place is conducted, but which
are almost always established by certain per-
manent usages or custom, as in the instance Of
every manufacturing town or district of Great
Britain.
This peculiar nature Of the relations in ques-
ton may, then, very natural y explain the
cause of the Legislature and the AdminiSt a lou
having been reluctant to take the initiative for

demands for such were advanced by the parties
nearest Interested therein. But it could not be
expected that the Estate-P roprietors would

get along by merely admitting lenicnce8 which
some considered advisable, others found benef-

To THE EDITOR OF THE "AYIs."
Mr.. Editor,

10 THE EDIIOk OF The AVIS
Mr.. Editor,
Allow me to correct a mistake which l
observed in the letter ofone of your cores
pondents (n), in which it is said that on
New-Year's-Day the Benevolent society
distributed dinner to SO of the poor. This
is a mistake /; it was not the " Benevolent
but the = Friendly Society,"" The former
is a society formed on principles of mutual
assistance in case of sickness ETC., and pre-
sided over principally by ladies. The
latter Is a society consisting of charitable
ladies and gentlemen, who, being them
selves in better circumstances, undertake
to assist the poor, as lfar as the funds of
the society, kept up by monthly contribu-
tons of the members, will allow. 1t was
tits latter that entertained the 50 poor
persons on New-Year's-Day. I have
thought right to make this correction,
principally because it might lead to mis-
understanding among the members of the
" Benevolent Society," to hear that their
funds had been devoted to purposes for
which they are not intended.
I am etc.

THE NEXT GUBERN LaroRIAL RACE.

Ex.President Johnson the Coming Nan.
The Memphis Avalaache has been at a
white heat ever since, the passage of the
funding bill by the Legislature. Some
people say that it is only writing up Andy
Johnson for the next Gubernatoriai race
Others say it is only writing down Ten
nessee bonds in the interest of railroads.
Here is the latest from it, and our readers
may judge for themselves: odj 10 8IIlo

on an Avalanche suggestion, doubts lisa.
Johnson, of Greeneville, /" is candidate
for Governor. OF course he is not. He
belongs to the class whom offices seek,
and whenever the people desire him for a
leader he will be found at the front. The
funding question is the coming issue i'm
Tennessee, and no man is so well qualified
as the ex-President to lead the anti-fund-
ers to victory. 3E 7t.tij - }s..< htia
The appeal thinks the ex-President in
opposition to Gov. Brown is the objective
point of the Avalanche, and says SOD
+ There is so much said about this funding
bill that is unnecessary-sO much that is
foreign to its spirit and purport, that we
think it looks to the formation of a new
party" rather than the protection of the
interests of the people. 2 1t looks as if it
were intended to make of this test ques-
ton upon which the Conservatives and
Democrats of the State are to be divided,
in order that Gov. Brown may be beaten
down and. ex-President Johnson rise tri-
umphantly to the surface again. That's
all there is in this rumpus about funding.
If that is all there is in it, the rumpus' u
will prove interesting. ,sFeH y "a E

The +" Graphicn Process.

The process of illustration used by the
Graphic Company is secret, jealously
guarded by the proprietors, and is yet up
on its trial. The rough theory, however,
may be of interest to our readers. Upon a
sheet of paper is spread layer of oily
transfer ink used by the photographers, and
over that thin layer of Photographic
preparation which the action of light read
lily decomposes. The subject of illustration
is then photographed and the negative
placed over the prepared sheet. The &C
ton of the light passing through the un-
INSTRUCTED parts of the negative, decompos-
es the surface of the sheet, and leaves the
image in a sort of bas-relief. The other
portions are then removed, and the sheet
laid over one of The porous stones used by
the photographers, and subjected to press
ure. The oloaginous ink sinks into the
stone and makes, in oil as it were, outlines
of the desired picture. The stone is now

over it, leaving no trace whatever on the

We know Gen. Grant, and believe him
to be no ordinary man. On the contrary,
he has that rare combination of elements
of character which never fails to enable the
possessor, under favoring circumstances, to
deeply impress his mark upon the history
of the times in which he lives.
Neither do we believe him to be either
sordid or corrupt. The charges against his
reputation, gift-taking and having per-
sonal interest in the dark deeds of the
"gold ring" in Wall street, on the cele-
brated "Black Friday" we believe to be
entirely unsustained by the facts. So we
think of the present clamors from the same
quarter against his refusal to yield to the
demands of the money "bears" in New
