Were Colonel Mcclure, whose letters on
the south are just now attracting much at
tention, to visit certain sections of Louisiana
the hill parishes for example-at this sea-
son of the year, he would find there many
interesting and material facts relating to
the future destiny Of the negro In the south
TO add to the substantial data he has collect
ed. There is, perhaps no State in which the
average colored laborer can accumulate
money more rapidly and with less exertion,
than In Louisiana. Thus, the negro rousta
bout gets wages which would be considered
magnificent in any other portion of the globe
The laborer on sugar plantations is literally
remunerated for his services, and the indus
trious laborer from the cotton region may
largely increase his revenues for the yea
by assisting to take off the sugar crop aftel
having completed his work on the cotton
plantation. With such advantages 1t would
be supposed that the colored people through
out the State were fast growing In wealth
aud material prosperity. A thrifty, econom
ical class of laborers would flourish undel
the circumstances In which the negro nov
finds himself His services are always IL
demand, and rarely does 1t happen that HI
lacks employment. Yet he does not seen
to have learned the important rule that 1t Il
even more difficult to keep money than t.
make 1t. The earnings Of year of toll are
often squandered In one week, and general,
the laborer Is no better off at the end of De
cember than he was In the January previous
