clares that the Chinese are the best
laborers that can be found for the
alluvial region of the lower Miss

gers in the South to-day.
Young declares that the Southern
polity of President Hayes came
nearer to breaking up the Demo-
attic party in the South than
most people imagine, and -he says
that if the Southern people had be-
lieved that Hayes was iairly elect
ed President, great majority of
them would have become his sup
porters. Even as it is, the Mem
phis Representative declares that
Hayes has more friends among the
Democrats of the South to-day
than Tilden, and be believes that
| il both were in the field again,
Hayes would carry more Southern
States than rilden. In regard to
the ostracism of Republican, in the
South, Young says it is as univer-
sal as ever, aud be does not thiuk
it will ever abate. He declares
that no matter how honest or INTEL
ligent man may be, or how desir-
able his wealth or his social char
acteristics, he will not be regarded
as desirable citizen II he is Re-
publican. The Republicans dis
franchised the people of the South
aud placed negroes and disreputa-
BILE whites In control. Young
further states he hopes the negro
exodus will be successful, and that
the North will get as many of those
kind of citizens at the South's ex-
pense as 1t wants.
Another telegram to the Tribune
says: Four or five Southern Miss
issippi steamers have lately been
seized and libeled for carrying
more deck passengers than is al
lowed by law. This is aimed at
those Captains who helped along
the negro exodus. Yet, within the
last three weeks, steamers have
been loadad to the guards with
passengers fleeing from the yellow
fever, and nobody has thought of
objecting.
