It's a sore ? rouble to the land, and the corps Of politicians ore probing to the core, l'y their speeches on the floor Of Congress, the patience of the o'er Taxed people. Every roan's a blower There-each puts in his oar, From the higher to tho lower Degree of intellect-each, his loro Must ventilate, and must pour Forth his eloquence-each must soar On the wings of buncombe, and roar Out bis position, and, like a wild boar. Hunted at bay and streaming gore. Lash wildly out-caring no more For tho country's good, than tho grower Of devil's aprons on tho Stygian shore. They rant and rave, and wo deplore This state of things, and earnestly implore Them to do their duty-they ignoro The people, who sweat at every pore. Watching those, to whom they ope'd tho door Of eminonce, spit forth Clair hoar, And stale, unprofitable talk. No store Of honesty or justice-none of that ore Do they possess. Mileage and galore Is the substance they covet; on that score They're true as tho needle, and can't bc toro From their purpose. Each would bc lore Most hore-the devil take tho slower. Oh, Reconstruction I what a bore 1 We never saw the like before THE EXPORTATION OP COOLIES. Debate in the English House of Commons March 1st : EXPORTATION OF COOLIES. Mr. B. Cochrane, in c?JI".ng the attention of the House to the exportation of Coolies from the East Indies, said the subject was one of the saddest in? terest. Wo hc.J abolished the slave trade at an ->T2euB? oxist. and we had since thon kept up a large fleet on the coast of Africa at the expongo of nearly half a million a year with a viow to its com? plete . suppression ; but while we incurred that heavy expenditure to put down the trade in slaves we wore actually -promoting and developing a sys? tem of what was called fixc-labor emigration from the East Indies, winch was nothing more than that trade in another shape. That was being done too although-and we behoved tho noble Lord, th 3 Secretary for India would bear him out in tho .statement-there was in that country, and had : been ibr- a long time, a great scarcity of labor. What, then, he would ask, was the reason why the emigration of tb ORO Coolies was encouraged ? When we abolished the. slave trade the natural result was that the proprietors of plantations in ; ibo West Indies-could not procure a sufficient amount of labor to work thom, and that evil it was -proposed to remedy by lending the support of tho Government to the importation of Coolies into those colonies. - Under the new system each of tho . colonies might state .what number of laborers it required, and an officer was subsequently employ - ed to collect together that number in India, and to ship them off for the West Indies with all possiblo dispatch. Tho holding out inducements to men to emigrate under conditions which bound them down to a. servitude of three, five, or seven years, was, as might be supposed, a system which was liable to very great abuse, and it had been found ' . to be so in practice. The Coolies were enlisted in . the service Tiy officers whose duty it was to collect them together, and tempting promises were made to them m order to get -them to embark in tho voli? tare. . Everybody- knew how weak these poor ' creatures were; und how easily they were imposed upon by the picture of some El Dorado which it was represented to them, they were to lind on their arrival at their destination. Having by thoss means bean brought together in somo establishment at Calcutta, they were, after a delay of perhaps not more than four or five days, shipped off in the first vessel that could - - be., made available for the colonies. On landing ' there, if tho engagements entered into with them ? were not fulfilled, they had, no doubt, theoretically an opportunity afforded thom of. asserting, their rights, and, might, for the purpose, appeal toa .magistrate; but, as the appeal must be brought before a magistrate in the province in which the planter to-whom they were consigned resided, it ' frequently happened in practice that they failed to obtain any.redress. He had, indeed, been inforru ed by a gentleman that ho had seen in Natal a "number of those people, who had come in to com phnn of ill-treatment before a magistrate, tied to ; carts by their overseers and flogged back again - into: their own district. It was clear, therefore, "'fl that although these unfortunate creatures were . hedged round by guaraii,-??8, yet, owing to their '..ignorance, they derivedfroui them bat little ad? vantage. It might be said,' of course, that tue statements of the suffering's which they .endured . were exaggerated, but it was scarcely possible, he believed, to speak in the language of exaggeration of the.treatment to which they were subjected ou board.', ship, br of the conduct of thc officers . in. India in shipping them' in. tho ;iSj> -vessels which they chartered for thc purpose. Tho ? i report of the Emigration Commissioners for 1864-5 .would show tbs House how great was the-, mortali i ty-among them after they had' been shipped 6a ?:."":-thftt passage,.whiehh?d beon'called the voyage of death. The fact was that animals wore bettor, treated and had more trustworthy ships provided for their, conveyance. ' The first-ship mentioned in . the report was the Lincelles,-on board of which 437 Coolies embarked at Calcutta, tho number of which roached their destination hoing 428,: so that in that case the mortality was very slight.. In tho next - ? vessel-190 -embarked, and 455 arrived; in tho next, V,:: .the Earl Bussell, 585' embarked and 392 arrived; in - the next 4SI embarked; ont.bf -which number only 343 arrived; in the next 454 embarked, tho number '. ?'. of .the arrivals being only 311; in the next the num '. : ; bers were 308 and 250; and in the next,.the New? castle, 491 embarked, while only 195 reached their ; destination. '.The . total number of deaths on ? the passage Tor the year was 2322, out of S145, showing a mortality ' of - nearly one-third 1 '. ;'af .. the- entiro number, "exclusive of . those who died-from weakness or illness immediately . after landing, j Now, what, he would ask, wore the causes of that fearful-state of things ? The object of the officers in India was to procure ships at as small a cost ?a possible, and one frightful loss had :?''?-'.' occuTT??tkbout eighteen months, since, which, like all. those melancholy occurrences, attracted but -'".'.' very little attention in 'that House or in the coun 3- try. The Eagle Speed was lost the day After she saned, ..because she was altogether unseaworthy, and, although, two.hundred.and sixty-t,vo Uves were lost, the roport stated that none of the Euro? peans were missing. Xhe ?migration agent and i tho protector both repudiated their responsibility in tho matter. The emigration agent -said-he had . nothing to do with the crew, and the protector '?' said'ifrwas- no part of Ins duty to see that any V Ernies affecting them were complied with. : There ; were no life buoys, although there were tom* h un? fired and twenty-five adults cn board.. The day .';: after she sailed the .vessel went down; the, chief . ri officer, did littlo or nothing, the doctor, dui nothing: the second officer, although sober, was suffering ;. .from the effects of drink, and three hundred.and '.! . twenty souls were left to perish. The conclusions .arrived at were - that the emigration agent V and the protector failed in their duty: that the captain and ...tho . doctor' acted deplorably, t?at the second officer and the boatswain acted. disgracefully, that the . crew -...? generally behaved - bacUy, . and that only two seamen behaved welL It might be said that this : was an isolated-case, and did not prove that other ' ' vessels were not properly manned and commanded; but we did not know that, for it was seldom we got so foll a report bearing upon 'the treatment the : ' Coolies received. In 1859, an interesting article'on the subject appeared in tho Revue des Deux, Mandes. It reviewed a work by M. DuHailly, who said:' ut. . "To him (theplanter) the Coolie merely took ! the' negro's placei and4 emigration was no more than' a return to the old system; it was-if ono may venturo to say s o-t h o slave trade pf ' the 19th century." , . . ? .. .-, The same author said : .- , " It ie curious that emancipation has brought . hack recruiting for laborers for our ' colonies near . '? to the state of things prevailing beforo elavery existed as an institution. "What virtually is the emigrant but a modification of those white bonds? men of the 17th century who paid for their passage by a three years' surrender of their liberty, and, . -, whoso sufferings brought to mind the most fright? ful festeres of the slave trido V" . A gentleman who had published a work iii favor of the system of emigration, (Mr.-Beaton), wrote : . - ?The Government, yielding to the popular clamour and the threats of the press, ordered the . ,656' Coolies to bo disembarked on Flat and Gabriel Islands, two^xuisorible rocks, a few niUos from :-<j ,J?ort;Loiois, where no snttcient provision had been made for affording them shelter and food. Tho condition of these miserable wretches was truly deplorable.'; TheQuarantine laws, strictly enforced forbade them to land-the open sea' and the bare* rooks offered them only a grave. In the course of a short timo the bones of 200 cooli os were blench 1 /inte 00 those barren rocks, the victims of Cro?le - .cowardice and Government mismanagement. This painful mortality -crested little sensation among i tba C t coles. Cholera bad broken out in Fort Louis, and they had no sympathy for any suffering save ' their own."--- , > ; i Tho writer's advocacy of emigrationjrendered-. it. improbable that there was any exaggeration in - - this account. Was it possible, then, for us to chut our eyes to the abuses which had occurred in ? the ; modo of carrying ont this system of free labor V It-was an absurdity that we were keeping np a ' fleet at an expense of a million a year to suppress ?"- slavery, and that we were permuting it in another - form, and misleading the poor people, who were i called free laborers. But what' should : we say at1 i - the conduct of Earl Bussell':) Government in en-" ' taring into a treaty with the French to allow them to toke our laborers to tho island of Bennion at the rato of 10,000 a year ? Thero was no doubt jtbatinlsMifco French wero engaged faith? Afri ' can alive trade at Zanzibor, and that they intro daoed slavery under a false pretense. -The French ship, tho Charles et Georges, was taken, and that . ; lad to a diptauatic difficulty. In the courseof the correspondence which ensued, Lord Malmesbury , wrote to Earl Cowley : . . '?- ..-Yetar' Excellency is aware that Her Majesty's Government have never altered their opinion as -'loathe analogous nature of tho French eelwine, of exporting negroes with that of the ?vowed slave trade" At that timo tho lele of Bourbon or Bennion re? quired 10,000 a year o? th?ee Bo-caffixlfrceJaborors to keep up the supply; au? iii low Earl BuaaeU's Goveriunent entered into a convention with the Emperor of thc French to allow the exportation of Coolies from India to Reunion, whore we could have no control over them. If that treaty hod lapsed, or would soou do so, ho hoped it would never bo renewed. We were responsible enough for what was done in our colonies without giving others tl. o risht wo claimed over the unfortunate Coolies, lt was asked, "Do you propos,- to rain these ! colonies by allowing further exportation ?" Certainly not; there wore means of improving tho system, and, if adopted, they would remove eorno uf the moro serious evils complained of. As remedies for tho evils now existing, tho following suggestions had boen made by exceedingly com [ potent authority. . "1. That uo. further extension of tho present sye'Mva bo permitted. 2. That the trade in sea? going Coolies bo more nearly assimilated with that which has been found necessary in Assam and Ca? bar; and that tho sovore laws governing tho latter, as recently paBSod by the Bengal Legislativo Coun? cil, bo followed so fax as practicable. 3. That aftor a givcu period only thoso colonies should bo al? lowed to recruit Indian laborers as can show an absence of such population as could dovelop its soil. 4. That no further treatios be entered into giving to anv foroign power tho right to recruit in British ludia. 5. That it should be impressod upon colonial eovcrnments that China affords a large market for availablo labor, if properly enlist? ed in that country. G. That tho laws of recruiting iu India should bo made more comprehensivo, and tuat greater checks should bc put upon the expor? ta! ion of persons not thoroughly comprehending tue naturo of the servitude they are undertaking.'' "With rcgai.d to the Chinese, they were very d?ner? ont from the Bengaleeso, for they combined to? gether to protect themselves, and might be re? garded as quito available for work in the colonies. Thoso suggestions were very simple hut very im? portant. The result, if they were adopted, would be to secure a bettor class of men than the mis? erable crimps now employed in India, and to give the fullest information to the Coolies, so that these might know where they we-i going and what con? ditions they were subjeot to. Bte felt that tint was a subject which m" c be safely left in th? hands of bis noble friend; ; the House would set that great harship was uone under the present svstom, and that British legislation should inter? fere on behalf of those who could not defend them? selves. (Hear.) Mr. Adderley said that the remodies suggested by the honorable gentleman would put a stop tc Coolie emigration altogether. H his view of th( svstom was an accurate one, no amount of advan tage derived from Coolie emigration would justify its continuance. But tho honorable gentlemai had not made out his case in the slightest degree and was utterly mist ken in the conclusions hi bad come to. He called Coolie emigration a modi fled slave trade. - It was no such thing. ' The hon orable gentleman alluded to certain cases in.whiol considerable mortality had taken place on the voy age, as though they were a fair sample of the sye tem. Why, it would be just as reasonable becausi the cholera had prevailed at the East-end of Lon don to propose to pull down, the houses so as t prevent anybody from catching the disease cher rn future. In one casa cited by tho honorable gen tiena an, the mortality among the Coolies during th voyage amounted co ,28 percent. But that wa because typhus fever broke out on board.' (Mr. E Cochrane.-"There were eight or nine ships i which it -appeared.") . Well, the fever raged i them all. But should Coolie emigration be stoppe? because in 18G4 typhus fever had sometimes prc vailed on boord the vessels engaged in the traffic Again, no doubt great loss of life had taken plac iu thc shipwreck of the Eaglo Speed. But inquir had boon made into that base, and, gross neglec having been proved, condign punishment was in flic ted. (Hear.) Was this case to be cited as lair illustration of the system ? The real fact wa that probably no class of British subjects was si completely and so elaborately protected as thea Coolies. The-Hob. gentleman allowed that where groat demand for labor existed in ono _,iaoe and: great supply of labor in another place, it was right t try and bring the two together.. Only he said, "leav this to natural process." :-In other words, tb pooryots wbo were starving upon 2d, a day wei expected by Borne "naturalnrooess" to tumble int tho West Indies, where then? labor was as nec? Kary to the planter as food was to themselves. M natural process would bring, this about,. and tl mother .country and tho ; Colonies had thereto! combined to do so. The Indian Act, .which wt tbs great guard of Coolie interests, was framed i ISCA, and consolidated th > 17 statutes upon tl subject since 18CX, This Act protected the Coolii from fraud on the part of those who recruit? them; and the honorable gen?eiuanXdescription the mode of recruiting did not in the. slightest d greo resemble the actual facts. The recruite were licensed ; they must wear a badge ; the licenses must be countersigned by a magistrat! and when they had induced a Coolie to agree emigrate, they must take him before a magistrat who must soe that the Coolie understood tl agreement and really wished to emigrate. ' Until magistrate's certificate waa ' obtained the Coo! must not even be taken to the port of embarc Ll-m. ' '.. Then, at Madras and the other ports, there w a protector of emigrants, who had most ' elabora functions, and was subject to heavy penalties if did not perform them. He must see that the i emiter accompanied the Coolies to the port a supplied them with -proper food on the way; a thoro were stringent provisions also against th embarcation if in Ul heath, and against emban tion at all without a licence. The ship was a! surveyed before soiling,'and..the.master bad; ?' ive a bond of 1,0002. for the proper observance ie conditions prescribed; .- He had made care inquiries at tho Immigration Office, and bad all 1 reports diligently searched, and there was-1 mund a single instance of neglect or evasion of t regulations in tho records of tl- - office. And n as to the French Convention. --The honorable gi tleman had most justly stated that that Convenc? was first entero 1 into, m themtorest of tho negro No doubt it was an inducement to the Engl! ; Government to' supply the French with htburfrs CoiidAtioh that Jthey.Would cw^.jtott^^a^eglr tho coast of Africa. That Convention was nu for throe years, beginning in I860, and waeel tinaed indefinitely,'? subject ;.'tovtcirhiinatioii, np notice on either side, of three months; bnt no st . notice had been given. When the honorable gi tleman talked of 10,000 Coolies-i-[Mr. Cochrane "I was not certain of the number."] Wi then, why make it 10,000 ? (.Hear, hear.) He ' he ved tho emigration ? did not how amount to t and that ifc had almost entirely ceased. (He hoar.) The fact was the French did hot like 1 Coolies, they were not liked at Hertnion, and so i emigration "had como,to,an. end. He had sho the protection extended tb the Coolies in the E Indies up to the time of embarkation,'-and now would show ho w.they: were jprotected cm their ai val in the Mauritius, Trinidad, and British Gt na, for the emigration to other places was but tie. In all the colonies whish received these : migrants there yrere laws passed expri ly for their protection-laws which h been drawn up_ according- to instructi from - the Colonial Secretary, at : home, : t which guarded in the minutest way the inter? of the Coolies. ' There were agents and sub-age . who periodically visited the Coolies and made ports of their condition to the Governor, and v had to seo that the regulations were carried < that proper provision waa made for their wai that' medical attendance was supplied; that families were separated; that the hours bf la were limited; that their back passage waa seo :: and that indentures were cancelled in cases; of excessive hardship. It was perfectly true 1 there had been some disasters lat^-^jVerala' wrecks had .taken place, within the "last two ye Five had occrirred from 1864 tb 1856, but on? thom-was in a tremendous storm in the Hoog which destroyed all.the shipping in the neigh . hood. There certainly bad Deen great morts ; "but. when iiUi'. honorabla^friendf talked j?f :28 cent."he would tell the House th?t'th? average nearer to 5 per cent., and that .the mortality on voyage last year, although famine was then raj in Bengal, and at such a time many migrants might embark who. would i bis, able to stand the- voyage,- was. only 2 cent.-the smallest that had. yet .been km He must state in addition that the ag ,. at. Calcutta had recently ordered a ;la space on shipboard, in consequence ot che moi ty that had been. referred to. He now .wishe call attori ti oe to the beneficial results of the tem, and'unless the honorable gentleman c make out a better, case against it than he had < -he. would hardly-succeediB. putting it down, system hod been of the greatest possible benefit to the Coolies themselves and . to.the various c nies, and those who, had objected to it were ei the East India Government or those groat frii : of abolition, who seemed blindly to seek the j of the nogr?, by promoting every plan most a mental to his real interests. The Goverrrrnei the East Indies wished to keep these men at hi for they, said that they 'wanted labor tl and the ' honorable gentleman ' backed 1 arguments.' But was their*' demand 'foi 1 a fair demand,- when "the wages, was only a day? (Hear, hear.)" Why the "Coolies . much" more slaves at - home" than where wert. It seemed .that Pharaoh wanted to kee; slaves at home^but 4efc .them, KQ into .'the wi ness and they would get better fare. In the Indies, they wanted to keep; down the mass bl laborers co the starving point, but when they to the colonies their wages rose to a shilling a and they hud evidence tb show 'that the C there became a totally different being'both p! cally and morally-from a poor desponding i turo he became something hko a man. He fi money to a considerable extent; In 185980 Cc returned home with ?7496, which- waa st the rt , .?21 each. In 1861,270 Coolies returned with sai . ranTOTThtmg to ?3076, or xii 17a. saohV Others tho 'savings amounted ?25, ?33, ?28 a head; "sums as large as ?12,000 in one year had gone in the pockets of -these men. Perhaps a still i striking fact was that meny Coches after taking passage home had again returned to theplaces vs the honorable gentlemen had said they were tn so much like Blares.. In 1866 here were 20,362 went to the Mauritius, and717 of these had bet tho Mauritius before, . At this moment there 246,000 Coolies in the Marm tina, the greater i ber of whem were working regularly on est It was much the same in the West Indies. T were almost os many, coses- of - re-emigrati< Trinidad and. Demerara, and th?" savings t were almost, aa. considerable. . But only thir percent, of those who went to the West It thought it worth their while to take- "a return ,s*ge at .all. , Perhaps the liUi?c?lAe .?e??'w would AOowjum to fest .the repc^fr?mwhic had quoted by another Mpcrrfc??h?t;o?l Mt-TJo -hUL of whom the House knew ?mothing in nexion with the recent- pioesedmra'in Jam This: gentlemen,* in 1860, went~to BengaL-an made a most elaborate statement reepectinc PK^pari* bf the" Caliea mtheWestlncue! was most, remarkable that Mr. Underbill, w inclinations-were au the other way, woimcLm; report by saying; that, prosp?rons ts the Co were, they were, perhaps, not more useful to tl selves than to- tho. --negroes, whose condition been ?nprovod by their being imoortod an thom. He need hardly point "ont tLitt while immigration had been useful, both to the Co and tho negroes, lt had been especially so tc planters. Nothing required ete?y ?ibor sc : as sugar octltivation,and since their em&nip tho negroes hi ?or Weat Indian. colonies nae been trusted to anything like the same extent they. Wer Abe/ore foe such ?abor. ;The nlightec lay in gotting in tho crop was fatal, bot the pta in many colonies had to trust to tho negroes, --were very liitolv to refuao to work, and he migh that their interests had- been saved- oabrV introduction of Coolie labor. To abolish tho tem, therefore, merely because in a particular ca^e two or threo crews had been destroyed by typh tis fever, and because the Eagle Speed had been liol, owing to great carelessness, would bo very uiiwijo. The rion, gentleman proposed, first, that tb ire should bo no further extension of the syston what that meant he did not know; secondly. th: t it should be assimilated to that of Assam, which, ho himself admitted, ho did not understand; and thirdly, that tho Indian Government should be al? lowed to imposo checks on thc emigration. The result of that, considering their anxiety to retain this surplus labor, would bo to put a stop to it al? together. Ile hoped, therefore, tho House would not adopt tho views of the Hon. gentleman. Mr. Cardwell wished to boar his testimony to tho correctness of tho views which had boon express? ed by his right honorable friend. Ho believed tho system to bo beneficial alike to tho Coolies, who made wages which they could not earn in their own country, to the Wost ludios and Mauritius, and to tho negroes themselves. From its very in? ception to its close it was surrounded by every pos siblo safeguard. The Indian Government requir? ed that persons taking Coolies should be licensed, that the Cuolios should bo recruited in the pres? ence of a magistrate, that a full explanation should bo given them, and that up to tho lost mo? ment before going on board they should have tho power of withdrawing, so that none might bo taken without their full consont. Tho ships wore carefully surveyed, tho greatest precautions being taken to insure sufiicient accommodation, medical aid, and every reasonable comfort, while, on arriving at the colony, under a Bystem superin? tended by local inspectors, tho observance of those conditions was enforced. The Coolies, moreover, had the right of returning to their country, which they frequently did with tho sums of money which to thom were considerable. This system was su? perintended by some of tho ablest public servants which this country possessed-viz., tho Emigra? tion Commissioners. Of course, abuses must sometimes occur in this as in every other system; and the hon. gentleman had referred to the case of the Eagle Speed, in which, undoubtedly, groat fault existed. A. full inquiry, however, was mide, and the delinquents received punishment. His hon. friend would do a service to humanity, and to the Commissioners, by bringing forward any abusos which came to his knowledge, but the oc? casional occurrence of abuses was no reason for upsetting a system which hod been productive of most beneficial resoles.

The limited character of tho offerings, in connection with the strin? gent pretension of holder?, to which may be superadded i tue failure of advt ces from Liverpool and New York until . a late hour in the day, materially contributed to depress the movement. Tho downward tendency of exchange also exercised a checking influence, as few buyers were willing to operate unless they could negotiate their bills to advantage,' The improvement reported at Liverpool became known too late to have any effect, as most of the buyers had retired previous to its publication.

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, EHQXXSXRIKG DEPABXMEUT, 1 I YALE COLLEGE, November 10, 18C0. ) I have always recommended tho Faber Polygrade Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both ornamen? tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough trial of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man? ufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New Yurk. I find them superior to any pencil in usc, oven to the Faber or the old EngUsh Cumberland Lend Pencil, being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil. Theso pencils uro very finely graded and have a very smooth lead; eveu tho softest pencils ho'd the point well; they are all that can be desirod in a pencil, lt gives mo i great pleasure to bo able to assure Americans that tbey will no long?r be compelled to depcud upon Germany or any other loreign market for pencils.
