This is said by the Baltimore american, :.

A very large movement of Georgia ne
groes, to the valley of the Mississippi is
grants are mostly good farm hands, and
their withdrawal threatens the important
planting interest. A writer in the Macon
Messenger thinks an effort should be made
to stop this wholesale colonizing, and intor-
nation given to the colored man of the dan
gers and tolls he is so thOughtlessly incur
ring, by emisrating from his home TO bring
into cultivation the malarious swamps Of
the Mississippi valley. We rather think
the motive of emigration is to secure bet
ter recognition of their rights to citizenship
than can be had in Georgia.

How to Obtain Homestends in Texas.
The Houston Union save:

The Houston Union saya:
The law of Texas in relation 60 nome
stealing does not differ essentially from the
United States law. A surveyor is employed
who surveys the land and makes what are
called "feld notes, which are forwarded to
the land office at Austin. For this service
the settler pays surveyors fees for survey
ing, writing, ETC., about s. or So, ana by
the expiration of three years he must for
ward to the land Office proof, in substance,
as follows: That he is a bona ,fide resident
of the State on said land, and that he owns
no land in said State. This is done through
the surveyor, and vouched for oy atfidavits
signed by one or more persons living in the
county where the land is located. A mar
ried man, or head of a family, is entitled to
a homestead of 100 acres, while a single
man can get but eighty acres, which fact is
some inducement to marry. Ii satisfactory
proof is furnished that the land is designed
for home. the State allows the settler 10
purchase the land a. 81 per acre. which
would exempt him from residence upon it
thereafter until such time as would suit his
convenience.

Nearly thousand more of the unwelcome

a small proportion have been able to find
employ ment. or, finding it, have proved
themselves capable. Temporary occupa-

bat TAR that other cities should share with

influence of further decline of tied az

were subsequently compelled 10 meet the
demand more freely, making concessions
of about 1sc in average low middling aud

maintained their position more firmly, but
even in middling it was difficult to realize
