Continued Exodus Of h Negroes.
NEW YORK, April 2.
The exodus of the negroes to the Tree
States from the South is evidently pecom-
ing o serious question. The Herald says
the movement is organized and conducted
under the guidance Of those whom the ne
groes regard a. their superiors. Many
have already settled in Kansas, and are
prosperous there. Reports Of their sue
cess have further demoralized the laborers
in the old States, who are very often badly
used, even II industrious, and are some
times i'll paid. and who are not prosperous
in any way. This departure OF labor. II 1t
assumes the proportions apprehended, Will
greatly hurt the South in its industrial in
~terests, and the Southern people may have
occasion to reflect upon their own folly in
their failure to regard the great element OF
their prosperity in any other than q strictly
political spirit.

the East, in their efforts to fasten upon us
