WHY THUS?

The st. Louis Republican regards IL
as a singular fact that no efforts are
made any where IN this country to in
vite colored immigration. Most Of
the Northern States have what are
called immigration societies, supported
b7 State endowments, but, without a
solitary exception, they appear to be
white immigration societies. The word
"white" does not appear in their
charters or records, but the fact re-
mains that they are conducted on an
exclusively white basis. immigration
agents are sent to England, ireland,
Germany, etc, bat who ever heard Of
one being sent to Africa or
Hayti, OF Jamaica? Some 81
the Northwestern States are &C
customed TO boast Of having
increased their population one hun
bred thousand or two hundred thou
sand by immigration alone in decade;
but there is not one of them that
would have a word of welcome for a
hundred negro immigrants. Even
Kansas has more black citizens than
she wants, and when a committee of
colored men from Tennessee visited
that State to make arrangements for
locating a colony, they were told that
Kansas was ''no place for q man who
had no money" and that it was not
worth while for a Tennessee colored
family to come there except with an
outfit worth one thousand dollars.
Why this thusuess?

WHO Is sHEs

Washington Special TO New York Herald.
The following curious case has come
before the Commissioner Of Pensions,
upon which he has just rendered a de-
cision: A woman IN Tennessee, who
had been married and whose husband
deserted her IN 1860, was married again
In 1862 to another man without an &C
tual divorce, although the law of Ten
nessee makes desertion for two years
good ground for divorce. The second
husband became a soldier and died IN
1866. In 1873 the Legislature Of Ten
nessee passed an act legalizing the last
marriage, and the woman now Is an APP
pIcant for a pension as the widow Of
her soldier husband. The Commits
sioner holds that, as the first parties
had not been divorced at the
time of the death Of the sol
dier when the claim, if any, &C.
cUre5. the woman was not the lawful
wife of the soldier, and that tie act of
the Tennessee Legislature, beng retro.
active. is unconstitutional and would
be void if it applied to the claim.

HONEY PLENTY.

Here is an advertisement which we
find in the ,EeiC York Tribune Of the
18th:
LOAN WANTED-Of fifty thousand
dollars, first mortgage, Z per cent, on
first class city real estate, salable to.
day for three times that sum. A trs1
class investment IN every particular.
None but principals'tr7ated with. Ad-
dress a. B. c., Tribune Office.
New York is the city, you know,
where money is lying idle in the banks
appealing for investment. 1t Is the
city wherein, we are told, money canbe
had for from 2@4 per cent. If money
Is SO cheap and so abundant in the
'great money center" perhaps some
body viii explain why it is-that borrow
ers are compelled to advertise for loans
when they are willing to pay Z per cent
securing the same with salable first
mortgage T? This proposition, we pre-
sumo, needs no discussion, SO says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Here In Nash
vile roney was never known to be
scarcer. We heard yesterday a lead
ing broker say that fifteen hundred
dollars could not be borrowed in the
city on United States bonds as a col
lateral. And still we are told that
money is plenty.

ing what purports to be Donaldson's
dying confession that he threw Grim
wood out Of the balloon over Lake
Michigan, in cold blooded self-defence,
as certain death faced both while one
might be saved by sacrificing the other.
Donaldson is represented as quoting
Blackstone to Justify this course, and as
Grimwood did not know enough about
ballooning to 60 it alone, Donaldson
concluded that his own carcase was the
one to be saved. The story is that the
editor Of the Pembroke, Ontario, Nelgs,
while on a fishing excursion found
Donaldson on the shores Of Lake Des
Q uinzes, dying from starvation and
gangrened wounds, and surviving only
long enough to make his confession.
There is no such paper as the Pembroke
Nelrs. and we cannot trace the story
further than the Cincinnati Times. a
dispatch from Ottawa states further
hiatt no Lake Des Quinzes is known IN
that region.

visit to Kansas, the "hsppy land Of Canaan"
for his race just now. II will be remem-
bered that bis brother Henry and seventy
others, several months ago, started for that
point. They are now in st. Louis, not
having money enough to make the trip
through TO Kansas. Gran says that if a
negro has plenty Of money he can get along
in that far of country, and if he has but
little that he will suffer. The crowd he
left at st. Louis are doing tolerably well.
