" A- friend of Gen Cos A Pbetii friend of U.U Writes a communication to the evs add Observer urging his nonii'natiou as tQ democratic candidate for the place of Kepresen tative from the State- at large: TCe rather think that this lealous friend?) wwit somebdy cI.mv Vi lio th Item tentative from this District, but he will not be gratified. Gen. Cox has made a faithful Repre sentative and will no doubt be re nominated without opposition . Warn, cars lune cost tlf gov- niment nearly fifty thousand dollars. and although he has been twice tried and convicted vet at last he is released without punishment. If he had been' .. r . . white cadet no one doubts mat ue would have been summarily punished. bat being a negro it was thought a good opportunity to make a little party cupiud, and so '-mueli ado has been made about nothing". He has been dismissed from West IVint, not on account of his perjury and dis graceful conduct, but for deficiency ki his studies. The Mississii'i'i ovKuu.yw is rece.l ing, but still there is much suffering and destitution and it will be several weeks before the wild waste of wiilers disappears. It is now thought tVit the overflow will not materially dimin ish tho ccttoit crop of this year. After tho waters sulfide there will be time enough for tin: planters to culti vate their crops, and better crops will be raised because f the soil being rendered more fcili'". The sediment from the overflow will pcatly emieh the land, ind thus the gn-ut calamity may be a blessing in disguise. The greatest pecuniary los has lxeti tl.e drowning of stork. It is remaikaUe that so few p rsons h:ie been drown- ed. The needy are br ing supplied with rations by the government, ;nil. as most of them are i feared that thev will U groes, it is me demor- alizcd and too lav to work. Toe Chinese question has excited' much discussion ir Congress and both branches have passed a bill forbidding during the next twenty ypars tho im migration of Chinese laborers into, this country. For centuries the ports; of China were closed against tho world, and no iutercour.se allowed with foreign bmbariun " as tjlev ' termed other nations. It has been only within the past few years that Europeans aud Americans have been permitted to enter the Celestial em pire, and now the Tinted .States are about to shut out the Chinese from this country! The excuse- given foe this strange proceeding by our states men is the fear that "Chinese cheap labor" will drive out our native white labor. If Chilian 'en wero allow ed to vot tie re would no? he tins war upon them, I nt they would be courted like the negroes have been. The North ern philanthropists, who so deeply sympathized with Hie nero, seem to have 11 ) sympathy for the Chinaman. "Why is this ? In tho discussion of this bill in Con gress Senator Jones, of Nevada, w ho is a stalwart Republican, frankly con fessed the failure of negro suffrage Indeed he made ft most I'eiuai'ka' '! speech for a Republican, from which we quote tho following: 'Cheap labor and poverty are twins. Chi'ia had the most cheap labor, and was tlw poorest country iu the world. England built the only railroad in China, and that was torn up by the Chinese. There is no wealth without intelligence. The lorc.es ol nuture are inert till rpjicken-. ed by the wiutd of genius. A foul stream always pollutes a pure one. j No man would weleomo negroes to j this country, if they wero not already Hero.

On the contrary, all tho assertions which were made through the newspapers in connection vi;h the iuvc-stigatior, and which wero calculated at le.t-t to dim th b ighlnosss of his nllici tl reputation, turn out to bo undisput ed facts.
