Compared with it It's a sore Trouble to the land, and the corps Of politicians are probing to the core, By then: speeches on the floor Of Congress, the patience of the o'er Taxed people. Every man's a blower There-each puts in his oar, Fram the nigher to the lower Degree of inteP-ct-each, his lore Must ventilate, and must pour Forth hJB eloquence-each must soar On the wings of buncombe, and roar Out his position, and, like a wild boar, Hunted at bay and streaming gore. Lash wildly out-caring no more For the country's good, than the grower Of devil's aprons on the Stygian shore. Th ey rant and rave, and we deplore This Btate of things, and earnestly implore Them to do their duty-they ignore Tt e people, who sweat at every pore. Watching those, to whom they ope'd the door Of eminence, spit forth their hoar. And stale, unprofitable taut. 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 the needle, and can't be tore From their purpose. Each would be fore Most here-the devil take the slower. Oli, Reconstruction I what a bore 1 Wa never saw the like before. THK EXPORTATION OF COOLIES. . Debate in the English House of Commons Marou let: EXPORTATION OF COOLIES. - Mr. B. Cochrane, in calling the attention of tho House to the exportation of Coolies from the East Indies, said the subject was'one of the saddest in? terest. We had abolished the' slave trade at an immense cost, and we had since then kept up a large fleet on the coast of Africa at the expense of nearly half a million a year with a view to its com? plete suppression; but while we mcurred that heavy eipenditure to put down the trade in slaves we were actually -promoting and developing a sys? tem of vrhat was. called free-labor emigration from the East Indies;- which was nothing more than that trade in another shape. That was being done tqo although-and we behoved the noble Lura the Becretary for India would bear him out in the statement-there was in that country, and had . been for <?. long time, a great scarcity of labor. What, then, he would ask, was the reason why : Abe emigration of those Coolies was encouraged'!1 When we abolished the slave trade the natural result was that the proprietors of plantations in .'.?ffipi Wast- Indies , could not procure a sufficient ' amount of labor tb'work them, and that evil it was' ..proposed w iemedy by lending the support of the Governmentto tho .importation of Coolies into those colonies. Under the new system each- of tho : ; colonies, plight eta to what number' of laborers it required, and an officer was subsequently ornploy " ed to ecliect together that number in India, and to shipthiim oi?for the Weet Indies wi th oil possible -dispateli. -Tho holding out inducements to mon to I. "emigrate under conditions which bound'thom ' 'down to a servitude of three, five, or seven years, - was.: as might be supposed, a system which was . liante to very great abuse, and it had been found 'tb be BO in practice. ' The Coolies were enlisted in .the sendee py officers whose duty it was to-collect . . them together, and tempting promises wore made ^^(thanii in order to gevtuem to embark in tho ven " . ture. ..--Everybody knew "how. weak'.'these poor - cr?atures were, and how easily they were imposed upon-by the picture of some. El Dorado which it was represented to them, they were to find on their arrival at their destination. Having - Tay thoii3 moans been brought ,together in somo establishment at Calcutta, they were, vf ter a delay of perhaps not moren than-four or five . daySi ? hipped (iff in the first vessel that could be made available for the colonies. - On landing . there, if the engagements-entered into with, thom rs werent >t fulfilled, ?hey had, no doubt, theoretically an opportunity afforded them. pf. asserting their ' rights, and might, for the purpose, appeal, .to a '.'magistrate; but, as the appeal must be-brought 'r before a magistrate - in the province ? in- which the ' planter to whom they were consigned resided, it ftequeirtly happened in practice that they failed to obtain any redress. He had, indeed, been inform? ed by?*, gentleman that, ho .had- seen m Natal a number of those people, who had come in to com ? plain of ill-treatment Defore a magistrate, tied to . - .carts by .their overseers and flogged back again. ?? ??xt? their own district It was clear, therefore, ' that although sh ese unfortunate creatures were : hedged round by guarantees, yet, owing to their . ignorajioe, they derived-from them but tittie ad -vantoge. It might be said, of conreo, that the . : -BtatementB of the sufierings 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. werersubjected orr coard skip, or of the conduct of tho ornear? in India in shipping them in the vssfi?hi which they chartered for the purpose. The report of tho Emigration Commissioners for 18&?-5 - ' would ehow the -House how great was the mortali? ty, among them after : they had been shipped on : tinst- pissage, which had been caned the voyage of lit death. : The fact was that animals were better treated and had more trustworthy ships provided - .

' th^WSceTS in India was. to procure ships at as small a-cost as possible', arid ono frightful loss had - -occurred, about eighteen months since; which, like _J?^.<?.?fle: m?lancholy-occurrences, attracted but very little attention zn that House or in the coun? try. The Eagle Speed was lost the day after she <t-<~?3l?cii '!%6c?5$? sue wa*: altogether unseaworthy, and, although two honored and sixty-two lives ?51?.?!ii?:?M^;'&ei report stated that n?ne,of the, Euro ? nji^iVwerer missing.

' wlU?e"sufitermgs brought to mind the most fright ful feateres of theslaye trade?" . A ge?ti?ma?-who had; pubUshed it work in favor of thesystem of emigration, (Mr. Beaton), wrote : . :^The Ch?rement, yielding to the popular clamour and the threats of the press, orderetl the 656 Coolies to be disembarked on Elat and Gabriel Islands, two miserable rocks, a few mile3 from Poit I^uis, where no suEcieut provision bad been maiae' for affording them shelter and food. The condition of these miserable wretches was truly : W0?1!1?' ^e ^antine laws, strie?y enforced, forbade them to land-the open sea and tho b ue rooks offered them only a grave. In the course of a short time the bones of 200 oiwiies were bleach? ing on those barren rocks, the rictimsof Creole cowardice and Government mismanagement. This painful mortality created little sensation ?raou e the Creoles. Cholera had broken out inPortLouiiT and they had no sympathy for any suffering save ' their own.* The writer's advocacy of emigrationh-endered it . improbable that there was any exaggeration in this account. Was it possible, then, for us to shut our eyes to the abuses which had occurred in tho mode of can-ying out this system of free labor V lt was an absurdity that wo weie keoping up a - - fleet at an expense of a million a year to suppress slavery, and that we were permitting it iu another form, and misleading the poor people who were - called free laborers. But what should we say at . the conduct of Earl BusselTs Government in'en? tering into a treaty with the French to allow them -to lake our laborers to tho island of Bennion at the rate of 10,000 a year ? There was no doubt that in 1858 the French were engaged in the Afri? can slave trade at Zanziber, and that - they intro? duced slavery under a false pretense. Thc French ship, the Charles et Georges,.was taken, and that " jed to ? diplomatic difficulty. In the comae of tho * correspondence which ensued, Lord Malmesbury wrote to Earl Cowley : "Your Excellency is aware that Her Majesty's Government have never altered their opinion as * to the analogous nature of the French scheme of \ exporting negroes with that of the avowed slave trade," . ... . .x - At-that timo th^Isle-of Bourbon or -Bennioihre^-f quired 10,000 a year of these BO-called free laborers to keep* up the supply; and in I860 Earl Russell's Government entered into a convention with the Emperor of tho French to allow the exportation of | Coolies from India to . Reunion, where we could have no control over them. Ir that treaty hod lapsed, or would soon do so, he hoped it would never bo renewed. "We were responsible enough for what was done in our colonies without giving others thc right wo claimed over the unfortunate Cooliea. It was asked, "Do you propose to nun these colonies by allowing further exportation Cortainly not; there were means of improving the system, and, if adopted, they would remove some of the more serious evils complained of. As remedies for the evils now existing, the following suggestions had been made by exceedingly wm potent authority,. "1. That no further extension of tho present system be permitted. 2. That the trade in sea going Coolies bo more nearly assunilated with that which has been found noces , .u-y in Assam and Ca har; and that the severe laws governing the latter as recently passed by the Bengal Legislative Coun cU, bo followed so far as practicable. S. That after a given period only those colonies should be al? lowed to recruit Indian laborers aa can show an absence of such population as could, develop its soil. 4. That no further treaties be entered into giving to any foreign power the right to recruit British India. 5. That it should be impressed upon colonial eovcrnments that China alfords largo market for available labor, if properly: enlist? ed in that countay. 6. That tho laws of recruiting in India should be mode more comprehensive, and tn at greater checks should be put upon the expor talion of persons not thoroughly comprehending the nature of the servitude they are undertaking " With regard to the Chinese, they were very differ? ent from the Bengaleese, for they combined to gether to protect themselves, ana might be re garded as quite available for work in the colonies TheBo suggestions were very simple but very im p?-tanl. The result, if they were adopted, would bc'. ooecure a better class of men than the mis era! le crimps now employed in India, and to give the fallest information to the Coolies, so that these might know where they wore going and what con ditions thoy were subjected to. He felt that this was a subject which might be safely loft in the hands of bis noble friend; but tho House would see that great harship ?was done under the present svstem, and that British legislation should inter I fere on behalf of those who could not defend them I selves. (Hear.) Dlr. Adderley said that the remedies suggested by the honorable gentleman would put a stop to Coolie emigration altogether. If his view of tho system was an accurate one, no amount of advan tage derived from Coolie emigration would justify its continuance. But the honorable gentleman had not made out his case in the slightest degree, and was utterly mistaken in the conclusions he had come to. He called Coolie emigration a modi lied slave trade. It was no such thing. The hon orable gentleman alluded to certain oases in which considerable mortality had taken place on the voy age, as though they were a fair sample of the sys? tem. Why, it would be just as reasonable because tho cholera had prevailed at the East-end of Lon don to propose to pull down the houses so as to prevent anybody from catching the disease there in future. In one ease cited by the honorable gen? tleman, the mortality among the Coolies during the voyage amounted to ,28 percent. But that was because typhus fever broke out on board. (Mr. B Cochrane.*-"There were eight or nine ships in which it appeared.") Well, the fever raged in thom all. But should Coolie emigration bo stopped D?causo in 1864 typhus fever bad sometimes pre? vailed on board the vessels engaged in the traffic? Again, no doubt great loss nf uf? had taken place in the shipwreck of the Eagle Speed. But inquiry had been made into that case, and, gross neglect 'naring-been proved, condign ponwmr^nfcwas in? flicted (Hear.) Was this case to heated as a fair illustration of ehe system ? The real civet was that probably.no dues of. British.snbj&rts was so completely and so olaborately prctt-ctcd. tis these Coolies. The Hon. gentleman alibi: od that where s great demand for la bor existed ii Wie place and a great supply of labor in another >>tacd, it waa right to try and bring the two together. Only ha said "leave this to natural prcoee.*-." In other words, the pooryots who were starring upon 2d. a day. .were expected by some 'maturalprocess" to tumble into the West Indies, where their labor ' was- as neces? sary to the planter as food was to themselves. Ko natural process would bring this about, and the mother country and tl ie 'Colonies had therefore combined to do so.. The Indian Act, which was the great guard of Coolie interests, was framed in 1864, and consolidated tb- 17: statutes upon the subject since 1839. This Act protected the Cooliea from fraud on the part of thoso who recruited them;, and the honorable gentleman's description of . the ?node Of recruiting did not in the Slightest de? gree- resemble the actual facta. -The recruiters wore.licensed , they mast wear.? badge; their licenses must bc countersigned by a magistrate ; f and when they had induced a Coolie-to agree ' to emigrate, they most take him before a magistrate, who mast Bee.that the Coolie 'underatood tho agreement and really wished to emigrate. Until a magistrate's certificate was' obtained the Coolie most not even be taken to the port 'af .embarca? tion. ..; - .". ' jj . Then, at Madras and the other ports, there was a protector of emigrants, who had most elaborate functions, and was subject to heavy penalties if he did not perform them. He must seo that ihe re? cruiter accompanied the Coolies to the port, and supplied them .with proper .food oh', the.'wfty; and there were stringent provisions. aJso agaunit their embarcation it in ill heath, abd'against embarca? tion at all without a licence-. The ship was also surveyed before sailing, and tho master hod to give a bond of 1,0002. for the proper observance of the conditions prescribed. He bad made careful inquiries-at tho Emigration Office, and had all the. reports diligently . searched, - and. there was not' found a single iustance'af neglect pr evasion of the regulations in the records of the orne?. -And now i as to the French Convention. . The honorable gen? tleman had most justly stated that that Convention was first entered into in the interest of the negroes. No doubt it was an inducement te the ^nglisb Government to supply the French with laborers on condition that,they would cease to take slaves from the coast'of Africa, j That Convention wau made for^ three, years, begmrung in 186Q/_and .wascon imuod indefinitely, subject to .-ternnjw?OLu opon ji?t?ce on either cido.-of three montha?b?t Jiiooiuch notice had been given. When the honorable gen? tleman talked of 10,000 <kx>liea-[Mr. Cochrane_ I "I rwas-' net cert??h? -'or- tito'number."] Well, then, why make it 10,000 ? (Hear, hear.) He be? lieved the emigration did not now amount to ten, and that it' had almost entirely ceased. (Hear, hear.) The fact was the French did not like the Coolies, they were not liked at lie union, and so the emigration had come to an end, ? He had :ehown the protection extended to tho Coolies in the East Indies up to tho time of embarkation, and now he would show'how they were protected on their arri? val in tho Mauritius, Trinidad, and British. Guia? na, for the emigration to other places was: but lit? tle. "In oil the colonies which; received these Im? migrants ...there, .were laws . passed express? ly far their, prot?t .i- laws which have beta ' drawn np according.. to instructions -from the- Colonial* Secretary afc h"me, and which guarded in the minutest way thc interests of the Coches. There were agents and sub-agen ts who periodically visited the Coolies'and made re Krte of their condition to the Governor, and who d to see that the r?gulations were carried oat; that proper provision was made for their wants; that medical attendance was - supplied; that no families were separated; that the hours of labor were limited; that their back passage waaTsucsred, and that indentures were cancelled m cases of any excessive hardship. It was perfectly fros that there had been some disasters lately-s av?rai ship? wrecks had taken place within the lost two years, Five had occurred from 1864 to 1866. bat ons of them was in a tremendous storm in the'Hooghly, which destroyed all the shipping in the neighbor? hood. There certainly had boen great mortality, but when his honorable friend talked of 28 per cent, he would tell the House that the average was nearer to 5 per cent;, and that the mortality on the voyage last year, although famine was then, raging : in ."Bengal,, and at such a?. timie ; many: im? migrants might embark who would bo un? able to .stand the voyage, was only 2 per cent.-the smallest that had yet been known"; He must state in addition that the agents at Calcutta had recently ordered a larger space on shipboard, in consequence of tho mortali? ty that-had been rofe ired to. He now wished to call attention to the beneficial results of the sys-' I Jem,, and unless the honorable gentleman could moke out a better case against it than he hod done he would hardly succeed in patting it down.. The system had been of the greatest possible benefit both to the Coolies themselves and to tho vari?os colo? nies, and those who. had objected to it were either the East India Government or those great friends ,of abolition, who seemed blindly to seek the good of the negro, by promoting every plan most detri? mental to his real interests. The Government of the East Indies wished to keep these men at home, for they said that they wanted labor there, and the honorable gentleman backed their arguments. But was their demand for labor a .fair demand, when the wages was only 2d a dayv (Hear, hear.) Why the Coolies ware much moro slaves at home than where they went. It seemed that Pharaoh wanted to keen his slaves at home, but let them go into the wilder? ness and they would get better fare. In the East Lidies thej wanted to keep down tho mass of the laborers to the starving point, but when they wont to tiie colonies their wages rose to a shilling a day, and they had evidence to show that the Coobo there became a totally different being both physi? cally and morally-from a poor desponding crea turo he became something like a. man. Ho saved money,to a considerable extent. In 1859 349 Coolies returned home with ?7496, which was at the rateof | ?21 each. In 18U1,270 Coolies returned with savings amounting to ?3076, or ?1117s. each. Other years the savings amounted ?25, ?33, ?28 a head, and sums us large aa ?12,000 in one year had gone back in the pockets of these men. Perhaps a still more striking fact was that many Coolies after taking then passage home had againreturned to theplaces whero tho honorable gentlemen had said they were treated so much like slaves. In 1866 here were 20,362 who went to the Mauritius, and 717 of these had been in tho Mauritius before. At this moment there were 2-16,000 Coolies in the Mauritius, the greater num? ber of whom were working regularly on estates. It was much the same in tho "Wost Indies. There wore almost as many caees of re-emigration to Trinidad and Demorara, and the savings there were almost as considerable. But only thirteen per cent, of those who went to the West Indies thought it worth their whilo to take a return pas sago at all. Perhaps the honorable gentleman would allow lum to test tho report from which he bad quoted by another roport-that of Mr. Under? bill, of whom the Hor>se knew something in con? nexion with the recent proceedings in Jamaica. This gentlomen, in I860, went to Bengal, and he made a most elaborate statement respecting the prosperity of tho Coolies in thc West Indies. It was moat remarkable that Mr. Underbill, whoso I ! inclinations wcro ail the other way, wonnd np his , report by saying that, prosperous as tho Coolies were, they were, perhaps, not more useful to them? selves than to tho negroes, whoso condition had been improved by their being imoorted among thom. He need hardly point out that while this inmigration had been useful, both to the Coolies nid the negroes, it had been especially so to the planters. Nothing required steady labor so much is sugar cultivation, and since their emanipation :nc negroes m our West Indian colonies had not L, jeeii trusted to anythiugliko the same extent that | J icy were before for such labor. The slightest de? ni in gening in the crop was fatal, but tho planters ii mauy colonies had to trust to the negroes, who yore very likely to ref uso to work, and he might suv hat their intercale had been saved only by the ntroauction of Coolio labor. To abolish tho s vs tem, therefore, merely because in a particular case two or three.crews had been destroyed by typhus -fever,-and because- tbe^Eaglei peed had-beea-loet-, owingto great carelessness, would be very unwise. The Hon. gentleman proposed, first, that there Bhould be no further extension of ino svatem what that meant he did not know; second! v. that it should be assimilated to that of Assam, w'hich, he himself admitted, he did not understand; and thirdly, that tho Indian Government should be al? lowed to impose cheeks on the emigration. The result of that, considering their anxiety to retain this surplus labor, would be to put a slop to it al? together. ' He hoped, therefore, the House would not adopt the views of the Hon. gentleman. Mr. Cardwell wished to boar bia testimony to the correotness of the views which had been express? ed by bis right honorable friend. He believed the ay?tem to be beneficial alike to the Coolies, who made wages which they could not earn in their own country, to tho West Indies and Mauritius, and to the negroes themselves. From its very in? ception to its close it was surrounded by every pos-. sible safeguard. The Indian Government requir? ed that persons taking Coolies should be licensed, that the Coolies should be recruited in the pres? ence of a magistrate, that a full explanation should bo given them, and that up to the last mo? ment before going on board they Bhould have tho power of withdrawing, so that none might bo taken without their full consent. The ships were carefully surveyed, the greatest precautions being taken to insure sufficient accommodation, medical aid, and every reasonable comfort, while, on arriving at the colony, under a system 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 the suma of money which to them were considerable. Thia sy8tem WSB au perintended by aome of th? ablest public servants which this country possashod-viz., the Emigra? tion Commissioners. Of course, abuses must sometimes occur in this as in every other system; and the hon. gentleman had referred to tho case of the Eagle Speed, in which, undoubtedly, great fault existed. ,AfuUmquiry, however, was made, and the delinquents received punishment. His hon. friend would do a service to humanity, and to the Commissioners, by bringing forward any abuses which came to hia knowledge, but the oc? casion al occurrence of abuses was no reason for upsetting a system which had been productivo of most beneficial results.
