1talians in the South.

We hear favorable reports OF the
Italian emigrants who have been settled
on the plantations in Louisiana. The
first batch of these immigrants reached
New Orleans just before Christmas and
were straightway sent to several planta-
tons north of the city. They learn
rapidly and seem willing and able to dc
a full days work for the pay offered
them. There is no question as to
whether they will be able to withstand
the climate of louisiana. Emigrants
from all parts of Europe have enjoyed
good health in the Southern States; but
the Italians are exceptionally healthy.
Heretofore the Italians have gone
chiefly to the South American republics,
where the climate is like that of South
ern Italy. If it turns out that the Ital-
ians are suited to the extreme Southern
and Southwestern States, and that they
can successfully carry on the work re-
quired in the cotton and sugar-felds,
there will soon be very large demand
for them, and already organized efforts
to aid their coming to this country are
proposed. When our Legislature meets,
a substantial movement should be made
for encouraging immigration in our
State. The tide of negro labor con-
tinues to set from the hill to the swamp
region, and soon the former will depend
almost exclusively on the whites, and
large quantities ofcleared land will be
without occupants unless,reinforeements
are obtained from abroad.

If the trainers of the silver bill that

istration, and which authorized the coinage
of standard silver dollars, were among us,
and could see how we'll the much-abused
dollar is really liked in this section, they
would be we'll satisfied with their work ;
for to-day the standard silver dollar has
become necessity among the farmers and
planters of the South, while the mint of
New Orleans can scarcely coin a sufficient
quantity to supply the steadily increasing
demand for them.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Jackson
CLARION, says from the way our friend OF
the Herald is in the habit of speaking, we
! infer it has serious thoughts of "reading
| itself out" This is an insinuation that
our Democracy does not come up to the
| CLARIoN's standard. Our contemporary
need not have said that in roundabout
way it might have said it direct.-Vicks-
burg Herald
We had no intention of passing upon
the Herald's Democracy, We insinua-
ted nothing. The Herald has been in
the habit of abusing the Nor thern
Democrats. 1t called them "hard
names :" said they were not willing to
allow the South a fair share of appro-
priations from the common treasury,
and that no reliance could be placed in
them. On the other hand, it said the
Northern Republicans were willing to
aid u.s. and that the South should cease
to antagonize the Republican party.
1t advised the South to dissolve CO.
partnership with the National Demo-
cratic party and to form an alliance with
the Republican party. When we asked
it how it proposed that this new alliance
should be brought about the reply was
that 1t acas IN .tavor Of full discussion
of the question az the State Convention,
that 1t could not see any good the copartner-
ship ooih the Northern Democrats did as.
Thereupon we inferred that the Herald
had serious thoughts of reading itself
out of the National Democratic party. |
If the Herald has changed its opinion,
and has concluded that the National
Democracy is the best party for the
Southern people to affiliate with, we are
gratifed but its change of opinion
affords no reason for charging US with
anything merely because we
that it had serious thoughts of
National Republicanism,
which it said was good, and rejecting
Democracy which it said was
bad and could not be trusted,

1t, they can refuse to endorse it by their

trichinea ever developed here, made its ap-

On that evening he ate freely of pork
which was not well cooked. About two
hours after he grew violently sick and ter
rible pains spread over his entire body.
He was next taken with vomiting and
purging, passing blood and small
pieces of flesh. The physician
was summoned, who pronouced it trichin@,
and upon submitting small pieces of the
flesh to microscopic test, in network OF
small muscles, II trichine were found.
The proper remedies were administered,
and the patient is slowly improving.

CHICAGO POIITICAL TRICKERY

CHICAGO, April, 1e.-There is much
dissatisfaction among the Democrats at
what they allege to be the unfair treatment
of municipal election returns by the re-
turning officers of the West and South
towns. The officials have thrown out
several precincts for what they consider
gross and essential violations of law, with
the result that returns so purified elect all
the Republican candidates for town officers
in the South and West towns, although the
face of the returns would have elected
most of the Democrat candidates. Con
tests will probably be made to test the
legality of this action The North towns
votes are not yet canvassed.
