LILLE NEGRO EXOUUS.

The movement Of negroes from the planta-
tons along the Lower Mississippi to Kansas
has assumed such dimensions as to distress
the authorities of st. Louis and Kansas City,
who are obliged to provide for the deluded
emgraIits, many of whom arrive in desti-
tute condition, having spent all their money
for passage and subsistence on the steam
boats. 1t appears that the influx of these
Door creatures is so great that tho Mayor of
st. Louis has sought to check the movement
by issuing proclamation warning all persons
against coming to the city without money to
support themselves, while the Mayor of Kan
sas City has taken active measures, not only
TO feed the suffering families that have

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHE

Messrs Harper & Brothers submitted to
the Secretary of State some time ago sug-
gestlon for the appointment of an interna-
tional commission to consider and present the
details of a copyright treaty to be proposed
by the United States to Great Britain. The
last scheme for the settlement of this vexed
and it failed because, as the Americans
believed, it was devised in the interest
of the British publisher rather than
the British author. The next offer for
an agreement ought to come from us.
The opinion of the public aud the wishes of
the principal American bOOk-hOuses are tend
lpg so strongly toward the establishment Of
an equitable copyright law for the two coun-
tries that an arrangement OF some kind will
unquesti0nably be attempted again before
long. and it seems to us that the suggestion
of the Harper Brothers opens way to sue
cess. No treaty should be drawn up until a
full discussion of the case, in all its bearings,
has shown the negotIators what each nation
really wants and what it has right to re-
qure.
The difficulty, rs everybody now ander-
stands, does not arise from any unwillingness
on the part of American readers or American
booksellers to pay the British author the usual
ROYALTY on the product of his brain. 1t springs
rather from the desire Of English publishers
to obtain, under cover of copyright law, a
monopoly of the manufacture Of English books
for the American market. They are not en-
titled to any such privilege as this. Literary
.'piracyn is no infringement of any right
of theirs; it wrongs only the author /;
and his interests would not be protected, but
on the contrary injured, by giving a single
manufacturer control of the markets of both
nations What Is required is a law that will
not restrict the industry of the printer and
the paper-maker on either side of the ocean,
and will not interfere with the circulation of
cheap literature, but will secure to every
writer of book q fair payment for the crea-
ton of his brain.
The scheme which the Harpers seem to
favor although they do not say so in their
letter to Mr.. Evarts, allows the foreign au-
thor to take out a copyright in this country,
proyided his book shall be manufactured and
published here, by a subject or citizen of the
United States. within three months of ITS
appearance abroad. A similar privilege, of
course is to be accorded American authors in
England. The word manufacture " shall not

famous swindling by which the people OF tnls
State were robbed in the election OF 1870
shall not be repeated. To prevent such
svindlinp an election law was passed, which
Democrats now propose to repeal. He who
votes with them, or yields to their demanu' Vi

Mr.. Tilden's friends can get power to repeat
the frauds perpctrated in 1868, when Mr.
Tilden was Chairman of the State Committee
virtually consents to rob the State OF New
York of its free choice in the election OF Presi-
dent. If the Republicans stand firmly 10y the
law, Mr.. Tilden will learn from the people OF
New-York, in November, 1880, that they have

be held to prohibit printing in one country from
stereotype plates, prepared in the other and
imported for this purpose. In the main prin-
ciple this plan is just and practical. 1t recog-
nizes the authors right of property, it pro-
tects the manufacturer, and it favors the read
ing public. Some of the details. however. are
open to discussion. The limitation OF the
period during which an international copy
right may be obtained to three months from
the date of the appearance of the book in the
country of It's origina places the author en-
tirely at the mercy of the foreign publishers.
And it would work great hardship IN the case OF
new writer who, making fame by first book,
might be wholly unknown across the water
until it was too late to avail himself of the
law. We see no reason for putting any limi-
tation at all upon the time. This is ques-
ton. however, to be discussed by the pro-
posed international commission; and IL 1t
should be constituted, as suggested, of equal
numbers of authors, publishers and publiclsts,
the various considerations involved would be
likely to receive full and intelligent exami-
nation in all their aspects.

Mr.. Hustled made an attempt last night to
kill the ludicrOus bill which proposes to apply
the Chinese principle of exclusion to Wash
ington Market but the Assembly thought it
would be vastly impolite to slaughter at one
blow any measure which a committee had re-
ported. Mr.. Husted's motion to recommit the
bill. with instructions to strike out the enact
ing clause, was, therefore, defeated; but 1t is
understood that the Assembly will murder it
hereafter by deferenGal inches, and with the
utmost parliamentary courtesy.

Mr.. RandaIl's nomination for Speaker OF the
House of Representatives is without doubt
triumph of the Tiden element in the Demo-
cratic party, and a real reinforcement for MI
Tilden himself. Whether the latter had much
to do with the issue of the contest or not, Mr..
Randall will be in q position during the
next two years to be a powerful frend
to the next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and there is little question that
the new Speaker holds the most amlcable re-
lations with the Democratic Claimant. Con-
sidered apart from this view, not much need
be said of the choice made by the Democratic
caucus but what has been said whep
Mr.. Randall has been nominated before. lie
is a strong partisan, and perhaps not the most
scrupulOus of politicians but his record as
Speaker has shown him to be better man
than we have much right to expect OF Dem
ocratic House, and the country has, therefore,
received the news of each of his nominations
with something like sigh of relief This
time he undoubtedly owes his success more to
the fears of his party than to its friendship.
The alarm of Southern as well as
Northern Democrats at the growing bOldness
of the Southern spirit within the party has
carried Mr.. Randall through. These men
know that this spirit exists, but they see that
the ruin OF the party will follow upon
premature disclosure of its strength The
cooler-headed SOutherners understand this
only too well. After few years, if all goes
well with the Democratic party, the Randalls
will he forced aside and the Blackburns will
be let loose.

Governor Robinson's action in removing
the County Clerk will naturally be inter-
preted as another step in the Tilden still hunt
for the possession of Tammany Hall and the
enormous patronage of the City Government.
The Governors refusal to remove the Register
will, no doubt, he cited to disprOve this theory,
but the Register, as VIII be seen by Gov
ernor Robinson's decision built up for himself a
pretty formidable defence when he inaugurated
reforms in his Office. Mr.. GumbletOn, on the
other hand, will have the satisfaction of find
ing that his singularly stupid course IN refusing
to allow an inspection of his books is one of
the Governors chief reliances in making an
adverse decision.
