The flight of Negroes from Louisiana.

The Flight OF Negroes from Louisiana.
From the New Orleans Tune, Dem Of
March 2sth, we clip the following: ,izt
"The sensation Of the day is, OF course,
the stampede Of the negroes from the cot
ton region Of the State. Tie effects Of this
exodus are already being felt; they are
very serious in their nature and must be
seriously regarded. 1t is no use for jour
nails in this city TO cry hpoppycock'l and
CANNON Would it were! The negroes,
like flock OF frightened sheep, or drove
ofinsane swine, are making head first to
the river, and nothing but the most deter.
mined efforts will prevent the depopula-
ton Of the upper country. It Is we'll
shown thet the colored churches In st.
Louis have banded together and. arc fur
nishing the needed assistance. In this
work the local committees are aided by
the Anti-Slavery Society OF New York.
This society has already sent a large amount
OF money and supplies ofsClothing to st.
Louis TO DO distributed among the ne.
groes who arrived there. The result ia
that the negroes arc well received, clothed
and sent on their way rejoicing towards
Kansas. The trouble will not be confined
to one or two plantations, but threatens to
affect the whole state, and the sugar
region must suffer when the cotton region
is overgrown with cottonwood trees and
weeds. Not a week ago came mn extensive
planter to this city to arrange for advances
on his coming crop. He made satisfactory
arrangements and was on the point Of re.
turning home when there arrived tele.
gram telling him his hands Ind left. In
consequence, his arrangements had to be
Cancelled and he Is a ruined man. Every
day the same scene is enacted in this city,
The. cotton planter wishes advances; the
commission merchants ask what are his
prospects. What, indeed, are his prospects
under the present condition OF things?
There seems to DO hardly any remedy ex.
cept perhaps were some Of the men who
have interests at stake to go into the par.
ishes and persuade the negroes into bet.
Ter frame Of mind; even this plan might
fail, however, as there are now men in
these. parishes who have the ear OF the ne.
groes, and are doing all they can TO per.
suade them to leave Asa last recourse,
however, something must be done to per-
suade the negroes to move into the sugar
region, where tranquility reighs and the
laborer not only gains but receives his
hire. It is understood that an organiza.
ton is being made for this purpose, and
that everything will be tried to keep tho
negroes from entirely quitting the State,
for 1t is conceded by the wise that the ne.
groes are the best field workers in exist
once, and that this State will 20 to
the dogs without them. Thisis tho truth,
although it does hurt the pride Of the
average country politician to admit It"

slones. During the year sill, 10000 was
expended for wine, spirits and beer, amin.
crease OF little less than million dollars
over the outlay in 1877. The increase Is
traced to the working classes and to beer.
The sales Of vino and spirits, supposed to

fell OFF about 100000. Enough beer
was sold to mako UP the deficiency and
increase the total outlay, as seen above.

FRIEND OF MRS. sPRAGUE PUB
LIsHEs A LETTER SETTING FORTH
MIR. spRAGUE's MIsDEEDs.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., August l3.-In a
private letter to friend, gwen for pub
lication, Mrs. Sprague says in reference
to the ou break at Narragansett Pier !:
"G'oyernor Sprague's eau eless iprosecu-
ton of the children's teacher is literally
true as he tells the story. The attempt
to complicate Mr.. Conkling with this
matter is absurd. Guests of the house
were removed under Governor Sprague's
threats of murder to be done" Mis-.
Spragne explains somewhat the case
against the trustees of the bankrupt es-
tate in which Governor Sprague had
sought legal counsel of Mr.. COnkling,
and says that, as her means of living at
Canonchet had been cut of, she request
ed Mr.. COHkling, who hal already been
consulted by Governor Sprague, to see
him and try to ascertain what results
were likely to follow the proposed case
thai would benefit or provide FIR the
children. Mr.. Conkling had stopped at
Canonchet for tn s purpose and was
awaiting Governor Sprague's return
when the outbreak occurred. If any
hostile words were exchanged between
Mr.. Conkling and Governor Sprague at
Oanonchet, they alone know what they
were, for no one else heard them. What
transpired in the village Mrs. Sprague
did not know.
Mrs. Sprague refers in severe terms to
her husbands life aud habits, hich long
ago interrupted their marital relations
and blighted their domestic life.

ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUD.

AN OHIO ALDERMAN ACCUSED OF AL
LOWING THE ALTERATION OF RE
TURN SHEETS.
Habeas corpus proceedings were held
this week at the Catskill Mountain
House in the case of Alde man Augustus
G. Clarke of Cincinnati, before Justice
Strong of the United States Supreme
Court, and United States District A'tor-
ney W. odford, who haG been deputed by
the Attoiney-Gen"ral to attend them on
behalf of ths Government, returned to
this city yeste' day. Mr.. Clarke had been
a Judge of Elections at the Congl ession-
al election last year in Cincinnati, and Il
is alleged that the tally sheet was cha g.
ed aft il came into his hands and be-
fore it reached the County Clerk. He
was tried before Judge Baxter in the
United states courts in Cincinnati and
vas convicted and sentenced to twelve
months in the county Jail. His counsel
then got out writ of habeas cOrpu
claiming that the Imprisonment was ille-
gal because of the uncoDstitutionality
Or the election law. The writ was made
returnable at the Catskill Mountain
House, where Judge Strong was spending
his acation. After hearing the prelimi-
nary al. .uments Of counsel, the Justice
said tnat the question involved was so
important that he desired it should be
heard by a full branch of the Supreme
Court. He accordingly postponed the
final hearing on the writ until The Octo-
Der term OF the court, and meanwhile
he admitted Clarke to bail in the sum
of $1,000,

HOW FALSE ECONOMY BROUGHT
DOWN THE EDDYSTONE
LIGHT.

1t will be remembered that after one
structure on the Eddystone Rock had
been de, troyed by storm and another by
fl e, John Smeaton undertook the task
which was successfully completed more
than h,inured years ago. He secured
a perfect foundation fo- the massive pile
by an ingenious system Of dovetailing
which fixed the lower courses Of stone
into the solid rock of the roof. But he
discovered after the entire work was fin
ished, a small cavern in the reef imme-
diately under the foundation, which
might, he thought, prove a source OF
trouble at some distant period OF
the future. He estim ated the cost oil
filing up and properly cementing al
$l250, and recommend it should be done
Immediately. But it was never done,
and the incessant action of the waves,
assisted perhaps by the weight and vi
brations of the tower above, has en-
larged the cavern until the foundation
can no longer be trusted. The old light
house will be torn to the bigh-wa ater
level and a new one built 100 feet south
east of 1t. Had Smeaton's advice been
followed there is every reason to bolieve
that the building with which his name is
inseparably associated would have stood
forever.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The Man in the Moon is a comical loon;
His round face is all that he shows,
Whether stately and trim, or scanty OF
limb.
Is secret that nj body knows.
In his lofty estate he Is careless of fate,
And he rides through the sky at hisea
He has stuck to his horn since the day ne
was born,
And he fattens on Cynthia's cheese.
To what mystic race with his quizzical
lace,
This wanderer claims 10 belong,
II the MUSES. e'er knew they have left us
no clew,
In fable. or fiction, or song
Who is his mother? his sister and brother?
And his pedigree-has 1t q flaw?
Sweet soul he nAs none; he Is nobody 3
son,
And the rogue has no moth F. In law.
When the sun sinks 70 rest, In tn purple
crowned west,
He comes forth, 10 frOllc 10 miss;
And slyiy he creeps through Il t windows
and peeps;
At levers In hope. AMI I'm bliss.
All! what has he seen by peeplng between
The curtains wherever he goes?
But the MUSES. are good-not one Of them
would
Tell The volume OF secrets he knows
H kisses the flowers, and lights The gre' n
bowers
Where lovers delight in his smile:
And the touch OF his be. m, gIlds the

And The glad ca, tn r. ,ices the while.
Equal pleasure lie brings to peasants and
kings
And he smiles on the cook aud the qu zen
And the good and The bad. the stricken and
glad,
Bask alike In his brightness serene.
| He has shown his kind lace 70 each child o
our race
Since the hour OF humanity's bir HI
And on Times shiuing pages, in all the

Is recorded the fame OF his worth.
