Mr.. Joseph Arch, the world-lSnown
champion Of the agricultural laborers
Of England, who arrived In Canada last
week from Europe on his way TO this
country, having been duly interviewed
by an American reporter, thus states
the object Of his voyage:
I am hore to learn tho truth about
the emigrant question. My duty is to
tho laborers of England. I did not
come in the interest of II speculative
emigration scheme. did not come to
pander to the crotcllets of dcmagogues.
You have broad lands In America.-
English farm hands make desirable
immigrants. Help them to got here.
Give tho immigrant good land and ask
of him payment In easy installments.
You may have TO lend n little Govern
ment aid till the first crop is harvested,
but after that he Is independent and
ready to repay the money you have
advanced.

THE EPIDEMIC IN SHREVEPORT.

We take the following from the Daily
Times Of the 23d:
We still hear of new cases among the
whites Of the city, though the subjects
to work on are limited. Within the
last two days the disease has attacked
the black people, and many of them
have been taken down. Tho increase
in the suburbs is fearful, hardly missing
q person as it extends its territory
Several families have all their number
down. The disease is certainly malig-
nant when 1t takes acclimatcd whites
and robust negroes. The cloudy cool
weather has nm Injurious effect on those
who are sick and many of them have
had symptoms. Among our prominent
citizens who have died since our last
report were o. II. Collins, Of the firm of
Mundy & Collins and II. d. Sale, of
the firm Of Sale Il Murphy; and G. o.
Phelps, City Recorder; and DR.. J. B.
Wise.

In an article upon the alleged frauds
IN the election OF 1872, the Homer Had
makes the assertion that the Editor of
this paper had Capt. Scott removed
from the Office of Supervisor of Clai-
borne parish because he (Scott) could
not be used in the Fusion interests.
This Is only partly true: We accent
the responsibility for SCOTS removal :
in fact, we demanded his removal, and
he was removed - finally. But our
action was based upon reliable infor.
nation that Scott was thoroughly In
sympathy with Grant, Kellogg and
Morey, and supported that ticket, anu
not because he could not be .used'' b,

A writer in the Intelligencer, signing
himself can Intimate Friend," (of
Judge Crawford's,) calls in question
some of tho statements of fact made by
the TELEaRAPH concerning tho de-
ceased Judge.
This writer leaves the impress
sion that Judge Crawford and Mr..
Harris wero assassinated by ssF'ranklin
desperadoes" who believed there was,
with such officers, sssomo chance for
punishment" We did not understand
that Franklin parish was suspected of
any part in the assassinations, and we
do not see that eliminate Friend"
affords any proof, either, that franklin
parish, although s'something new" had
occurred there in tho Indictment of a
number of citizens, was concerned In
the deed. His innucndoes are not
prOof-hrst, because no known individ-
ual's are, and second, because no anon
ymous writer's insinuations arc worth
a copper.
But whether bad men in one parish,
or the other, did the act, makes no diff
ference to us. In fact, zee have not pre-
tended to say where the suspected
criminals lived.
Tho writer in the Intelligencer Is
evidently Il botch in other respects. He
and Judge Crawford's friends arc igno-
rant, he says, that Judge Crawford ever
swore that he had been in danger of
assassination. No man ought to be
held accountable for such ignorance,
except the parties themselves. It is
not our business to- buy books and
newspapers, and distribute them gratu-
itously. But Judge Crawford did swear |
before Congressional committee, in |
1869, exactly what we said he did, and |
his testimony eliminate Friend" may
hunt up and read for himself. Wei
havo neither tho time nor the patience
to instruct him.

Says the Cincinnati Nolksfrcund at
Is maintained that the Democratic
party gave its organization the death
stroke when 1t Endorsed the Republican
Greeley in Baltimore. We would like
to ask whether the Republican party
ceased to exist when it named itself the
Union Republican party, or when 1t
nominated the Democrat Andrew Ohm
son for the Office of Vice President and
the Democrat Brough for the Office of
Governor of Ohio? Just as the Repub-
lican party still exists in spite of all
this, so also the Democratic organiza-
ton in its full integrity stands forth"

There is no yellow fever in Minden
as yet !; nevertheless, the report has
gone out that we have several cases.
We suppose that this report sprung
from the fact that negro boy who left
Shreveport when the pestilence first
appeared there died in this town few
days ago. Physicians here inform us
that tho disease is not contagious, but is
wholly atmospheric. Upon this theory,
which no doubt is correct, Minden, be-
ing far remote from tho infected city,
Shreveport, is not in the least danger.

Cotton-pickers are in demand in this
immediate vicinity. Seventy-fivc cents
per hundred pounds and board arc
offered.
The constant train of cotton wagons
passing through town every day on
their way to Trenton certainly indicates
that business there is improving.
Cotton has opened remarkably fast
during the past two weeks. The
weather has been quite favorable for
picking, and the farmers seem to be
making good use of SO opportunc time.
We hear of some hands picking from
150 to 200 pounds a day.

TIE NEW YORK PANIC.

New York city has had huge SEN
eation In the suspension of number of
brokers', bankers and spectators. It
appears that the trouble originated with
the failure Of the banking house Of Jay
Cooke 4 Co., and that this house sus-
pended because of heavy payments
made to sustain the North Pacific
Railroad Company, q corporation Of
great pretensions and of small realities.
One speculative firm after another fol-
lowed the suspension of Cooke & Co.,
and Wall street went wild. Railroad
stocks tumbled down, and general
money panic, resulting from specula-
tions In stocks-paper promises-fol-
lowed. The Government was invoked
to interfere to save the sinking firms,
but the Secretary of the Treasury has
been reluctant to yield to the demands
made for his interference. That func-
tionary does not appear to recognize
that the Government-itselfa specula-
tor and a huge banking house-bas any
obligation resting upon it to restore the
speculative equilibrium, although 1t
buys and sells bonds, boards specie and
sets itself up as Imperator in the world
of finance. Perhaps tho secret is that
the Government is to make money by
the crash In New York. At least, we
find that the National Government is
what it was never intended to be-a
peculiarly power In the land. It's aid
has been prayerfully sought after, and
persistently refused, and refused, as we
understand, mainly to strengthen and
consolidate the Government at Wash
ington. The plain inference Is, that
the Federal Treasury is dc Jacto comp
troller OF the finances-the demand and
supply of money-of the United States.
Happily, the panic in Now York will
affect but little the financial ability of
the Southern States. The crops are
made-assd tie money due the maker
,ssssse come! We would esteem 1t a
blessing for the cotton planter, and all
his dependents, II the whole cotton crop
of this year could be held back until
the wild and reckless spirit of specula-
ton common to Now York could be
forever overthrown. The reign OF mo-
nopolies, rings and monied kings would
then receive u wholesome lesson.

HOW GREENBACK PAPER Is MADE.

All the paper for the money issued
by tho United States government Is
manufactured on a 62-inch Fourdrincr
machine, at tho Glen Mills, near West
Chester, Pa. Short pieces of red silk
are mixed with the pulp In the engine,
and the finished stuff is conducted to
the wire without passing through any
screens, which might retain the silk
threads. By an arrangement above
the wire cloth, u shower of short pieces
Of fine blue silk thread is dropped in
streaks upon the paper while it is being
formed. Tho upper sido, on which the
blue silk is dropped, is the one used for
the face Of the notes, and, from the
manner in which tho threads arc ap-
piled, must show them moro distinctly
than tho reverse side, although they
arc imbcddcd deeply enough to remain
fixed. Tho mill is guarded by officials
night and day to prevent tho abstrac-
ton of any papcr.-I"perI'u.lc Journal.

The tIangcs are p inches deep, to pre-
