mark. that the certificate Of Louisiana :

minutes, but was put to confusion by cool,
cutting, sarcastic reply from Mr.. Reed, who
said the democrats seemed 10 be getting IN a

A Washington paper says that tn,
planters of Louisiana have been expert

place of the colored people who continue
their exodus to the northwest The i'm
itative Chinaman was tried upon the cotton
and sugar plantations. and at first he
seemed to meet the requirement: but. as
general thing, he grew tired ofthe heat
and the planter became disguised with
the Celestial. Recently numbers of sturdy
laborers from Spain and Portugal have
been induced to test their powers of en-
durance in cultivsting and gathering
cotton and sugar. So far they have given
satisfaction. They are said to be intelligent.
but their chief recommendation lies in the
fact that they are already acclimated,
The agency which originally introduced
these laborers has an order for 10000
more, and it is said that 100000 can be
readily obtained. if employment can be
found for them. There is too much profit
derived from the cultivation of the Louisi-
ana plantations for them to lie idle for the
want of labor. 1t is generally admitted.
however, that no class of labor is so well
adapted to this work as that of the colored
race.
