Unreliable Negro Hands.
ITimes-Delnocrat.l

| When certain Mississippi and Louis
! lana planters commenced importing
negro hands from Alabama and Nortt
! Carolina, we warned them that labor
Of this kind was very uncertain anG
unreliable, and that tho hands they
brought here were only too likely tt
leave them, IA they had left their fist
| employers. They had contracted tc
work for the North Carolina planters
for a year, but did not hesitate to brea 4
these contracts and come South ut the
first offer from Louisiana and N[issis-
sippi labor agents. We do not see why
the latter or the planters VINO engaged
them can be surprised at this second
desertion. II is no surprise to us ia
learn that the men brought from Caro-.
lima to Work on Louisiana plantations
were cnticed away by negro agents
after reaching Vicksburg, broke their
contracts and made for the Yazoo
delta, leaving both the agents VINO
brought them South and planters who
had engaged them in the lurch. Ne.
groes of this class, willing to break
contracts in North Carolina, are equal
~ willing to break them in Louisiana; !;
they are the most unreliable and Cn-
trustworthy of labor, and are never to
be depended on. Quite a number of
them have been brought to this State
during the last month, but they have
never ''stnck," and the planters who
employed them have been invariably
"lett" iu the end. .4..s.s
The Caldwell Wa;chman chrOnicled
difficulty in that parish last week
~ e., <~r
the Alabama negroes recently imported
there had deserted tho places on which
they were working, aud made off for
other quarters. There was an attempt
to stop them, but it was unsuccessful.
In Nicksburg, also, an attempt is be-
ing made to capture the escaping con-
tract hands, but even if it is successful
1t will do little good. IT negroes do
not wish to work on q antation, they
ars not going to be kept there. The
people of Warren and neighboring
counties are beginning to recognize
how untrustworthy and undesirable
this labor is, and, as our Vicksburg
correspondent puts il, 'sas the methods
of securing the labor IN North Carolina
were about on the same plan as was
pursued at Vicksburg, no remedy can
be had here. The feeling grows every
day that it is to be white labor or Moth
irg for this country, as there is no
counting on negroes staying when
brought here"
1t would be well for all the South to
rrcognZ, this. There could be no
more unreliable basis for Southern
prosperity than labor agents and i'm
ported negroes, who bresk their con-
tracts in oi,ler 10 come here. This en-
tire system is a bad Que, demoralizing
10 the negroes, encouraging lsZiness,
dishonesty and wOrthlessness on their
part.
II Louisiana steals negroes from
North Carolina, it canno! complain if
Mississippi steps in and steals these
Same negroes from it. Let us get
white men instead, who have come
here to stay, instead of negroes, willing
to desert at the first offer of labor
agent, and at the very moment when
tho crops are ripening.

The Queen Of Madagascar Takes Batl

The Queen Of Madag agascar Takes n Bath.
The French papers report that the
| queen Of Madagascar has just taken q
! bath. She celebrated tho occasion OF
the "Fcstivai of the Uaih' with the
greatest pomp aud seriousness. The
queen w3s clothed all in scarlet and
seated upon red velvet throne; a cor
ner Of the room was rallied Off with red
curtains and behind this was rolled q
great bsthtub set on wheels. A solemn
procession filed through, bearing the
water for the bath, materials for the
fire 10 heat il, made directly under the
bathtub itself, the towels, soap, perfume
and various toilet appurtensnces. AS
soon as the water was sufficiently
heated the fire was put out, prayers
were said and hymn sung tnploring
that the queen suffer no harm from
her daring act, and then, as she dis
appeared behind the curtain Il salvo of
artillery was fred and the drums beat
to announce 10 the excited multitudes
outside that tho important part OF the
ceremony was taking place. At the
end OF a brief fifteen minutes the queen
reappeared, somewhat paler in hue,
but gorgeously arrayed and wearing all
the crown jewels. In her hand she
carried an ox-horn, tipped and bound
with silver, full Of water taken from
tho bath just previous to her entrance
to it. Bearing this and accompanied
by the prime minister, she marched TO
the palace portal, where she dipped a
branch into The water and sprinkied the
spectators as they passed along, which
gave them the satisfaction OF feeling
that they have in measure shared in
the dangers which the queen az the
head Of the nation had boldly canfrOn.

from Catholic voters the disability to

the restriction of liberty to buy or sell
