the average negro up to the standard
of good field hand-whenever one is
found he is a rare exception. It is said
that those introduced from the States
named are much better workers than
the old stock. This may prove SO for
the first year or two, but is it not reas-
enable to suppose that they will at
length adopt ssthe manners and Gus
toms" Of the country, and become as
worthless as those we already have?
But the most potent and unanswera-
bic argument against this policy is that
it will have very material tendency
to check, ii not entirely prevent, white
immigration.
However, tho want of labor is so
grievously felt now that there is little
probability of the planters being infiu-
enced by II remote danger when the
present need is so pressing. While we
admit the latter fact we doubt the
efficacy of the proposed remedy. In
short, we think there is nothing in the
negro. Heis II miserable failure, and
we honestly believe that the South
would be better Off to-day if they were

. THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

Chief Justice Waite appears to have
received the endorsement Of all par
ties. Senator Thurman united with
Senator Sherman in advocating his
confirmation, and it received q unani-
nous vote from both Democrats and
Republicans in the Senate.
The Ohio Convention, in which the
parties ac nearly equally strong, at
once expressed their pleasure at the
nomination by unanimous applause ut
the honor done Il member of that illus
trious body, whose ability and modern
ton had elevated him to tho presiding
Office.
Chief Justice Waite has for many
years been the leader of the bar of
Northwestern Ohio. He is q gentle
man by birth and education, his father
having been a Chief Justice of the
State of Connecticut. His personal
character has been above reproach, and
his professional character for quarter
Of century has been that of labori-
Gus, conscientious and successful stu
dent. In 1850 he served with marked
ability as Whig in the Ohio Legisla
ture. He has never sought political
promotion. The people of his district
nominated him for Congress few
years ago against Ashley, who may bt

NEGRO IMMIGRATION.

4 late number Of the Nicksburg
Herald, says:
"The Emma took out another big lot
of plantation hands yesterday, emf
grants from Georgia and Alabama.
Nearly all the upstream boats and
tributary packets now have from fifty
to IL hundred Of these cmjgrhnts who
are leaving the worn out soil OF their
native land for tho more productive
regions hcreabout.''
We assume that the destination of
these ncgoocs is Louisiana. There is
Il disposition in this portion Of the
State to import hands, especially from
Georgia and Alabama. a good deal
might be said on both sides of the qucs-
ton. The advocates OF the system con-
tend that there is q ruinous deficiency
of labor and this forces the planters,
in their scramble for laborcrs, to pay
them cxhorbitant wages-tEiat is, they
would not be exhorbitant, provided
the negroes worked faithfully enough
to make fair crops. They maintain
that if there was n surplus of labor
planters could be more choice in thcil
selections and triiling negroes would
be forced to work or starvc.
| There is certainly much force if
these arguments. But, on the other
hand, the introduction of II larger
negro population would, from present
appearances, give into the hands of ar
| ignorant and unprinciplcd claSS-con
trollcd by men, if less ignorant, moro
unprincipIed than thcmselves-thc ell
tire State government, and the people
need scarcely be reminded that tina
means absolute financial ruin-uIti
mate bankruptcy. Again, it is problc
rnatical whether it is good policy t
have the State crowded with n Iarg
negro population in order that com
paratively few faithful hands may b
| secured. We arc inclined to the opin
ion that no possible influence can brin

POOR PINCH.
can That Killed Him.

fFron, tho n. O. Picayune.l
The sudden outcry against Pinch,
who stands so fair to be defeated in the
United States Senate, has brought up
many old, and apparently dead stories
against him, among which might be
mentioned the alleged fact that Pinch
was once in the Work-IIouse as a con-
demned felon.
Impressed with desire to ascertain
tertay paid a visit to that abode of Vag-
rants and suspicious characters and
asked to look at tho records.
The gentleman in charge replying
"ccrtainfy," there was produced from
u small iron safe certain dim coIored
musty volumes, bearing ON their backs
the figures of the years whose records of
prisoners incarcerated they were.
Selecting one of these, for 1862, n care
full examination elected ON page 1G5 the
following:
"Pinckney Pinchback, aged 25.
Height, S feet st inches. Habits, in-
temperate; native of Georgia. Educa-
ted, intelligent, colorcd. Sentenced
May %. Term, two yerrs. Released,
July 2Sth, by order of Capt. Smart"
| This was all; tho indictments, tho
commitment and release, with the
| SAHtlS upoh W hASil AAS AlttN bSSkl luCuE"
cerated, were gonc-ssstolcn some time
during tho last administration"
So much for the bare facts. There
were some who may have known, and
VIII" allege that the charge was tslar
ccny;" others, "assault and battery
with intent to kill" Again, it is said
for playing what is popularity known
as the "strap gamc''--i. c., swindlins
at cards. Though, OF course, in thu
face Of so many statements, there ma.
be nothing certain, tho ono thing
above is an established fact, and ,
somewhat singular commentary on tn,
name Of the present elected State Scna
tor of Louisiana on tho records OF :
police Jail.
This, with the charge of his obtaining
| the 500, 900 from Mr.. N orton under false
prctcnscs, was what caused "tlc party
to forsakc him, and kill Pinch right on
the verge of his ambition.

Dryades street, between Pertlido and
Common, has long been famous - q
resort OF the worst charactars In the
city. On either side, near Union, axe
dance and gambling houses, where
people OF tho lowest order make night
hideous with their orgies. Above and
below are collections Of low brick and
wooden shanties, where dwell the ray
damseis of the Lizzie Owens stripe,
who have made the street 20 notorious
by their larcenies and robheeies.
Lizzie Owens, after puIsuing career
Of almost unparalleled success, was at
last sent to the penitentiaxy for elgh-
teen months; which shc served out,
and has now returned to tho city.
During her absence, however, crime Of
almost nightly accounts OF robbexies
are reported to tho police, and yet no
action is taken.
This is of course owing . great deal
to the manner In which these robberies
arc committed. A man, q stranger
generally, wandering down the street,
is enticed into q den and there robbed
by solle ono ON the panel-house plan.
He reports the case to tho police, the
woman Is arrested and locked up, with
his name as prosecutor. In the morn
ing, the case Is called In court the
woman with money is enabled 10 hire
q lawyer; the victim, being without
any, is browboaten and insuIted, and
finally the case Is continued. In the
meantime by one means or another,
the man Is frightened or spirited away,
and when the case is ultimately called,
the Judge, innocently and good-nAtur-
edly remarks to tho lawyer that, emo
prosecutor being present, the case IL
dismissed"
Upon complaint, both the courts and
police blame each other, and ia tho
meantime tho community suness.-

THE PRODUCT OF ONE ACRE.
trrom tho Greensboro ,eaoou.1

From tho Groensboro Doacon.1
Mr.. HARvEY-I often SEQ in your
paper publication Of tho yield OF crops
on small pieces of Mnd. I am glad TO
see this, for 1t induces others to learn
what can be done with proper tllling
or cultivation. My opinion Is, from
my experience this year that quite .
large family can be raised, supported
and educated on one half the land now
worked to tho hand.
This year measured off ono aero Of
light sandy land, and manured It broad
cast with stable compost, on the Goth
of February last, followed up with
bull-tongued plow as deep "a could
and sewed it in rust proof oats, and cut
three thousand pounds. / manured
again, plowed as before and sowed II
broadcast in common variety of seed
corn, and when it grew to the height OF
four feet, cut and cured 1t, and had
seven thousand pounds OF fodder. i
then manured and plowcd as before,
and sowed tho globe turnip, and judges
say 1 have two hundred and filty
bushels now in tho ground; besides a
good stand of volunteer oats that have
como up from tho sowing, which will
cut in tho spring.
1 hope next year some of our plan.
tors will beat this; and make moro
provisions and less cotton.
There is no use for u man to try to
cultivate the whole world to mako n
| living, and to dclvo with freedmen and
| lose his own soul. Truly yours,
a. M. DoRAAN.
