The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-12-07

The greatest emigration scheme ever or
rAnized In New England is that being now
arranged and perfected in Boston. The en-
terprise Is yet in its infancy. but the known
business sagacity, energy and pecuniary re-
sources Of the men at the head of the move
ment promise that it will prove a complete
success. The whole scheme will be under the
control and management Of an advisory
board of one hundred and fifty of the leading
citizens of New England.
It Is proposed to purchase 100, 600 acres of
land In body, to divide this into sections of
eighty acres each, and to sell alternate sec
tions 10 the settlers at cost price; also to fur
nish them all the building materials, tools,
plows, etc, necessary at cost price. The only
profit the persons engaged in this enterprise
expect is In the enhanced value of the alter
nate sections Of land reserved by them, due
to the country being opened up and settled.
The association hopes to have all the pre-
Iiminaries completed and to be ready to move
the settlers to their new lands early the
coming spring They are looking in the West
for lands TO purchase, but il they could find
AB much territory as this for sale in a body
In the South, would prefer to settle here.
This is one of dozen similar schemes now
on foot In the North. There is no lack of
emigrants willing and anxious to come
South, and with some capital on which to
start our only need is to persuade them to
come among us.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-12-07

There are no more white Republicans in the
South, not even enough to hold those few
offices the Republican party still controls.
Out of the 157 members of the South Carolina
Legislature, while there are six colored Dem
ocrats there are but three white Republicans.
Two years ago in the reform Legislature
of that State the white Republicans were very
numerous, but now apparently only three
of them can be found in the entire State
decent enough to send to the Legislature,
and, it may be incidentally stated, the Re-
publicans don't require very high stand
ard of decency in their candidates.
The ultra Radicals are attacking the Presi-
dent because he declares that he cannot find
enough respectable Republicans in the South
to fill the Federal Offices In that section; they
ought with as much reason attack the Repub-
licans of South Carolina, since these practi-
cally declare that there are only three white
men In their party in the entire State worthy,
even In their eyes, of seat in the Legisla-
ture. Their reflection on Southern Republic
canism is just as severe and cutting as the
Presidents Read them out of the party at

One suggestion of Secretary Schurz in his
late report is worthy Of consideration. He
thinks that the government is wrong in en-
ploying only white men at the frontier posts
and in dealing with the Indians through
white agents solely. Almost every employee
at these posts is, he says, white man; not
only are the traders, agents and carpenters
white but even the scouts and the farmers
employed by the government to instruct the
Indians In agriculture and lead them from
their present wild and nomadic life to a
settled and civilized one.
In this respect, there Is great difference be-
tween the manner In which the United
States and the Dominion of Canada respec-
lively deal with their Indian neighbours. In
Canada. half-breeds or educated Indians,
brought up at some Of the many institutions
deYoted to the education Of this race at

The New York police are jealous enough /

The New York police are jealous enough in
closing gambling saloons and pool rooms, but
allow the most dangerous and demoralizing
rambling establishments In New York city to
remain open and carry on their nefarious
business unmolested. These are what are
called stock pool rooms. Quite number of
them have lately opened on Broadway and
Broad street, near the financial centre of
New York, and here broken down spectators,
curbstone brokers and boys meet and bet upon
their favorite railroad stocks. These places diff
fer little from the keno and pool rooms which
the police closed up so unceremoniously a
few weeks since There are blackboaris upon
which figures are written, and rows Of
benches where the gamblers sit and smoke
and watch the result Of their operations. The
business is simply pool selling, the stakes
ranging from 81 upward.
The small amount of this stake brings the
business within the reach of young clerks
and Office boys, who grow, In consequence,
inattentive to duty, rashly speculate and are
finally only too apt to commit theft and for
gerry. Such bad effects have these establish
ments had ON clerks that the stock brokers
and bankers Of the neighborhood have
these places watched and announce that
any OF their clerks attending them will
be dismissed at once. These summary meas
ures have accomplished good results so far as
the employees OF these brokers are concerned,
hut these dens are still daily thronged by
boys anxious to gamble away their pocket
money on Erie or New York Central.
The demoralizing effects of such practice
must be apparent at once; it is simply train
IND boys to be gamblers and spectators Of
tho worst sort. An attempt has been made to
close these places, but their owners shield
themselves behind the law and declare that
person has as much right 10 speculate In
stocks at / cent margin as at 10. It is scarce
Il probable that the authorities win be able
" close them up.

THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DECEMBER = 1877.

Lorette, Montmorency and elsewhere, are
made the agents and go-betweens OF the gov
eminent In all Its transactions with their say
age brethren. The advantages Of this sys-
tenn are at once apparent The wild Indians
prefer to deal with those Of their own race
while the government agent, being identified
by blood with those he treats with, is better
able to understand them, to know their wants
and desires, and less apt to swindle and de-
fraud them. Such at least, has been the ex-
perience of Canada; that country has thou
sands Of half-breeds in its employ and man
ages its Indian affairs in the most successful
manner, and at half the relative cost of the
United States Indian Department. 1t is
seldom troubled with an Indian war, and
has never been afflicted with one of those
frightful massacres to which this country
Is treated almost every year. And whereas
this country needs large regular army to
keep the Indians in order, and never succeeds
in doing it, Canada, with a few hundred
policemen, enjoys perfect peace and quiet,
as far as Lo is concerned.
Never has any Indian war in this country
been investigated but its origin has been
found to be that some post trader has swim
died the Indians. The explosion that oc-
Cured under Belknap showed the rottenness
of the whole post trader system, and CORE
spondents insist that there Is little change
now for the better The mildest tribe of In
dams in the world-a tribe so weak, quiet and
docile that they have been the laughing stock
of oil their fellow redskins the Utes, are even
now on the war path because they are starry
ing to death, the government agent, DAN
forth. having stolen all their supplies for the
winter.
The plan of Secretary Schurz, therefore, of
doing away with white men on the frontier,
as far as is possible, seems a wise one. We
know, by our experience in the matter of car
pet-baggers, that a people can deal much bet
ter with those of their own race than with
outsiders, foreign to their ideas and habits;
that Indians will not want to steal as much as
white men, and even if they want to, will be
unable to do as well in the thieving line and
lastly, under this system the Indian Depart
ment will not be an asylum broken down
politicians, anxious to re-establish their for
tunes. Let the government eivilize the In
dams with Indians. There certainly are
enou gh civilized redskins to supply the place
of the white employees at the frontier posts.
