Tho exodus Of negroes from tho South III
assuming snch dimensions That tho planters
arc beginning to get seriously alarmed.
Commencing III certain districts Of Louisi-
nna, where bulldozing has boon practicoa to
m infamous extent, it Inns spread rs far enst
rs South Carolina, whore, as cx-Oongressnan
SMA11s says, the negroes will 1.-Two on ten
ponny mills until they got money enough to
buy railrond tickets. ThiB new phase Of tho
1nbor.q question haR lod the Southern whites
to adopt every conceivable expediant to stop
the exodus In Bono places they attempt to
stop tlom from going by force and by mr.
ranging to hnvo ateamboats atop Mt otAor
tlau tho regular landing g-places. Whom force
does not avail, tl,oy sock to scare tho negroes
BY apronlng reports TINT smallpox, tho
1tnssiAu p1aguo, aud other fatal opidenics
havo broken ont among those who hayo al-
randy gono, md nro sweeping them of IN
great plumbers. Tho reports, however, llave
no effect III ohacking tue migratory move
mont, showing That tho negroes would rather
face tile plng1o md H,uall-pox than ondnro
longor tho tender morcies Of bultdozcrs
and the Bosvilo degradation which IL oycry-
where imposed upon them. Again they arc,
informed By tho Ruddonly aolicitous South
cru lunaniturians that they cannot endure
tho rigors Of the Northern climate, and tint
they will certainly freezo to doath in winter;
but they renlombor TINT their friends before
tho War usod to travel tho underground rosl
to Canaln, whose climate is much moro sovcre
than that Of Kansa7, nnd tint thoy have
lived there over since without tho slightest
Inconvenience. Iu spite Of all these uxpe-
dieuts 10 stop it, tho exodtM continues.
In Msstssippi, tho movement to stop tho
