Ju Information" in regard to the grow
infrop of cotton, condensed from letters
re6ved from the cotton States in regard
toie crop prospects Of the season. From
the report we submit the following ex-
tras: ..-..
lssissippi- Labor satisfactory in NUN
beland efficiency.
Iuisiana-NO complaint of labor.
kas-Labor sufficient and good.
kansas-Labor is ample and efficient.
hnessee-Labor about the same.
Abama-The labor is all that can be de-
sire
Nth Carolina-Tbe labor is said to be
ab0 the same as last year, both in num-
berand efficiency.
S4th Carolina-Labor sufficient.
Grgia~LabOr very generally reported
as sfcient and good.
Frida-No complaint of the labor.
Nrequest the reader to reflect on these
extrts. They are reported on the au-
thory of men whose business and whose
CHAPTER are deeply involved in an i'm
partl statement Of fact affecting the
pricof cotton. If these men should re-
porthe labor irregular, or deficient, it
woul affect the price of cotton, because
no ahentic result could be predicated
on s,h premises. If this labor was IT.
regur or deficient, the suppression of
this ct would produce false impression
of thcrop prospects, and would mislead
deals and consumers. Such an exposure
as nst follow any such improper
expreion OF suppression Of facts would
destr7 the character Of our Cotton Ex-
chant now standing high for its integ-
rity ad intelligence in the confidence of
the mmercial world. Hence the ap-
pointent of this committee. Is there
any iputation against the character of
one ofhese gentlemen? Acquainted with
them Il personally or by reputation, We
may 81 they are above reproach. Now
what they say? That upon an ez-
neutrality-suspicious. throughout nine
princiIl cotton States the labor employed
in the allure Of that staple is satisfactory
in nuners and efficiency. There is not
in the port one complaint made of the
idleneso or the arrogance of the laborers,
or Of tlir purpose to massacre their en-
ployers The mass Of labor in these
States icolored.
Whatmust we infer from this report,
made honor and on interest? That the
coloredpeople throughout these cotton
States ce peaceful, orderly and indus
trious; nat the dealers and consumers Of
the won may rest assured that the cotton
crop my be safely intrusted to these
people cultivate and to harvest
There is another interest, however,
among which coatroverts this report.
Accordig to them the colored people are
insubortnate to their employers, reck-
less, prdigate and arrogant, meditating
the mas,cre and outrage Of the whites.
This scond interest, however, is COM
prised ilgood part Of men who have, as
our Fre,h friends would say, nj .feu, nj
