A Census OF the cotton Labor.

Washington Star.l
In conversation with a Star reporter
Representative Manning, of Mississip-
pi, SAID that one of the most impor-
tant things for the South is to have
the next census show what part of the
cotton crop is produced by white labor.
Said Sir. Manning: Our Northern
friends look upon us in the South as a
lazy, indolent people. They think
that the negro performs all the labor
in the cotton fields; that Cuffy alone,
with his woody head and fiat feet, can
stand the exposure to the sun. Why,
the white hands of our white men
and women, and children too, of
the South, have produced three
ftths OF this years cotton crop,
which will reach a total OF nearly
100000 bales. White labor raises
from % to 40 per cent. more cotton to
the acre than colored labor. That is
a fact well known in our country.
Now, if we can only get these statis-
teal facts before the world in official
form, in a non partisan document, like
the census, it would be worth millions
of dollars to the South. We have the
most fertile soil on the globe, and
when the whites can be convinced that
they can cultivate it more proftably
than any other kind b labor they will
so there. The greatneed of the South
is to induce white immigration, and
the greatest step towards that will be
accomplished when we show the error
of the impression that the climate is
only adapted to negro labor"

A PACIFIC COAST CANDIDATE.

Stephen j. Field, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, is now visiting the Pacific Coast
officially. He is member Of the
Society of California Pioneers, and con-
sequently a "Forty-niner." He was
elected to several iapoStant positions
in early days, and served term as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Of
California Though staunch Demo-
crat of the Jefferson school, he was APP
pointed Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States in 1868 by Presi-
dent Lincoln, who recognized his great
ability as jurist and che purity Of his
character as citizen. Sluce the death
of Chief Justice Chase he has been ac-
knowledged as the ablest expounder of
constitutional law OH the Supreme
Bench. He was member Of the
Electoral Commission, which, by a vote
of eight to seven, refused to go behind
the count of the louisiana Returning
Board, and is a brother Of Cyrus W.
Field. the protector of the. Atlantic tele
graph cable, and of David Dudley Field,
one. of the leading lawyers Of New
York.
Jud ye Fiell's narae has been mem
toned in conn ,,tion with the Demo-
cratic nomin zion for President in 1880
As he was appointed to- the exalted
position which he now holds while a
resident OF California. the Pacific States
should unite IN sending a solid delega-
sion to- the, Democratic National Con-
yention to urge his nomination He
has not been actively engaged in politics
tor twenty years or more, and his
decisions on the, Supreme Bench of the
United States show that he is a man
who can be safely trusted as Chief
Magistrate by the people of all parts
and sections OF the Union The fact
that, though a Democrat, he was APP
pointed to the highest Office in his gift
by President Lincoln, will prevent the
bloody shirt from being displayed in
the campaign, and will make the
election of President q national instead
Of a sectional question, as nothing in
his record as Judge or private citizen
can be construed as favoring secession
or disnnion. With Field as their
standard bearer, the Democrats could
make an aggressive fight for the Presi-
dency, and put the Republicans,
whether their nan be Grant, Sherman
or Blaine, on the defensive,
