The concert at King George Court House,
on last Thursday night by the Eureka Quar-
cite Club of Richmond although the weather
was unfavorable, was very agreeable affair.
The club was assisted by three gentlemen from
Fredericksburg aud several young ladies of
King George. The concert was repeated on
Friday when very large audience was present
and everything passed off in the most satisac-
tory manner. The concerts we're given for the
benefit Of Lambs Greek, Episcopal, Church.

communication with the Eastern Atlantic
States sluice and current of labor will
come into the valley and cross the Missis-
sippi, so that this field being thrown west
of our city the product will find this the
nearest port on direct line 70 New York
and Liverpool. The labor that makes
cotton for the Savannah or Charleston
markets this year may next year make
cotton for the New Orleans market.
It will be Of course better and more at
tractive to this labor if our people would
recognize the political rights and indus
trial sense of the colored race. but their
emigration to the land Of cotton and
sugar is inevitable. and they will come
any way. The very White League plant
ers who denouncc the negro voter and
threaten to discharge him, will send an
agent to Georgia and employ every
laborer he can get. if the situation OF the
plantation and the low rate Of labor III
Georgia can justify it. In the meantime,
let other States continue to encourage the
emigration of labor. We welcome all
the strong arms that will plow or
plant. dig canals or build railroa DIS for
the benefit of our State and city.

The issue between persons and prop
erty is broadly made, and must be settled.
Mayor Leeds thinks the landlord sacred
and privileged character. Others. of
which we are part, deem the industries
Of the people, and the popular comforts
Of meat and water, should be protected
from monopoly and from undue taxation.
Upon this issue the people will see where
Republican principles Of equality and
justice come in. They will recognize
their value, and demand their application
to the affairs Of the city government.

LABOR EXODUS.

The Missouri Republican notices the
tendencyof the negroes to migrate from
Georgia to the further Southwest and the
inducement Of cheap fares approved by
the railroads. The Atlanta Herald de-
precates this tendency, and demands "a
rate for tickets high enough to prevent
the railroads from being made easy drains
by which the State is to be depopulated
of its laboring classes"
We differ with the Ecpuj'icon in at
tributing the movement solely to political
causes. There can be no doubt but that
all things being equal, voter would
prefer being in a majority, but very few
people would break up a farm or house
hold for that cause alone The main cause
Of this migration is the fact that the
lands Of Georgia are worn and unproduc-
tive. while those Of Louisiana. Mississippi
and Texas are fresh and inexhau stible.
The same cause is at work which has de-
populated SO much Of the planting States.

to the laborer as he can get elsewhere.
Hence Virginia decanted her labor into
Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama. Hence
million Of slaves once employed in the
culture Of tobacco and wheat were trans
terred to the production Of cotton and
sugar. 1t is true that the 'unwise policy
q: Georgia, which has not given the
.:.bo,er cottage, has left him free to mi
crate at the shortest notice to any place
where food is more abundant or wages
better. \ Georgia labo,er has no land,
! nc stock. little or no furniture. An offer
Of few dollars with better rations will
determine hin, 10 transfer his labor.
There is nothing but q railroad ticket be-
tween him and Pla9.emines or De Soto.
o: course the social and politica! torment
to which the laborer is subjected disposeS
him TO 60, or leaves 10 local attachment
to be found. These laborers can be as
readily moved after the crop is finished as
lot OF railroad hands after the job on
which they have been employed is COM
pleted.
The true motive. then, for migration
is the superior attraction Of our alluyial
lands. We can feed .abor better and pay
it better here thar elsewhere, and the
negroes will continue to crowd into and
cultivate the lands around and west Of
New Orleans until the great mass Of this
labor will produce for our market
We look to this transfer Of the cotton
field west Of our city as the most certain
assurance of permanent cotton market.

AN EXPENSIVE DRAIN.

There is an almost general mplalnt
about hard times. scarcity OF money
and a lack Of profitable business. We
have made mention Of some of the causes.
but only touched the surface Of the sub
ject. A young gentleman, a native OF
this city. not poor in worldly goods. is
touched with the prevailing mania to
blame somebody because there is falling
OF in his daily transactions. He was
casually asked few questions concerning
his expenses, and before he had summed
up his account was greatly surpr ised at
the extent of the drains on his purse. In
answer to the number Of societies. ben ev-
client, secret and social, he enum Grated
eleven, the dues and fines or which cost
him not less than 5000 annually, and no
mention OF the time expended is made.
He is member of three secret charitable
associations. two benevolent societies. a
military company. a boat club. dramatic
club, a literary society. chu rich.
social club. for each Of which
he is directly charged certain sums
of money. Thus it will be seen that he
must omit attending some of these meet
ings. as they outnumber the days in the
week. A failure to attend being cash
forfeit by way Of fine. is reminder that he
has neglected self-imposed duty. if duty
it may be called. A man who INDUCES in
so many luxuries. and pays for that privi-
lege, has little or no right to express him.
self as dissatisfied with decline in COM
merc;al pursuits. When the amo unit OF
money and time expended is consid cred.
it is natural to inquire as to VIII ere the
recompense exists, and if the interro ga
tories be answered seriatim the total
would not spoil much paper. We prefer
not TO enter into extended que stions and
replies, leaving such readers as are mem
bers of more than one or two associations
to reflect on the subject and make theil
own answers. The thoughtful yes 9onses,
if placed or paper, would certainly fur
nish food for reflections on domestic
economy. and if any victim will write a
good essay on the subject We will be
pleased to lay it before our readers.
