Chi.ose L.bor In the SOUTH.

NEW York, May l4.-Ths New
Orleans Times says: Frhe Chinese
are not the kind of people wanted
In Louisiana. They are of no more
value to the State than so many
mules" Whereupon, to.day's But
letia here comments as follows:
The planters, as class, are disposed
to give Chinese labor fair trial.
Since the war every possible effort
has been made with private enter
prise and corporate capital to sup
ply the South with precisely the
"kind of people" the Times pre-
fers, but somehow or other, the
effort has failed. 1t seems to US
that the Louisiana and Mississippi
planters have but little choice left
them. 1t Is to the credit of the
planters that they are very gener.
ally disposed to accept these con-
clusions. They are willing to give
Chinese cheap labor fair chance,
and have not come to that determ-
ination without knowing what they
are about. Some OF their number
have been In California to inquire
into the qualifications of the Chi
naman to do the work Ia reserve
for him in the South. One
of these, a Mr.. Greaves, for many
years a cotton planter In Kinds
county, Mississippi, reports that
he has tried them as tleld hands,
and found them in every respect as
efficient and reliable as the white
laborers of California, or the
negroes Of Mississippi. To put it
In his own words; "They are will
ing to work for very small compen-
sation, and take no interest in pol
itics, religion or educational mat
ters." Six or seven dollars per
month for wages, with an allow
'ance of twenty-five or thirty dol
lars a year for provisions, on plan
tations South, he says, would meet
their utmost expectations, and
even at these wages they would
live better and save moro than
negroes do. We are inclined to
think 1t will require something
more than sentimental objections
to prevent their speedy introduc.
ton in the Cult States, at least.

NEW YORK, May l4.-The Times
to-day says: Count Telfener, who
recently married. In Rome, Miss
Ada Hungerford, sister of Mrs.
Mackay, wife of the California
many-times-a. millionaire, is now
said not to be as rich as has been
reported, his supposed property
mainly consisting of strongholds in
CASTLE and financial aspirations
after the unattainable. This story
IL likely to be correct, despite the
understanding that he is "connect.
ed with railway operations in
South America" which may mean
much or nothing.

NEW YORK, May 14.-The Phia-
delphia Times recently sent cor

gold in Arizona, is equally unre-
waried. He is an old Spaniard
named Barardo Treyes, and keeps
miserable tavern.
