A Plan to Kill the Negro Exodus.

ST. LOUIS, August LIT appears that
the party of colored men who passed
through East st. Louis last evening, was
gotten up by merchants and planters OF
different places in Mississippi, having
negroes who wish TO emigrate TO Kansas.
An opportunity is given them to go
there and Judge of the country for them
selves and if they like it stay, but il they
dislike it they can return. Theexpense
OF the trip is merely nominal. Ii seems
that the planters apprehend that after
the present cotton crop is picked there
will be an extensive exodus from the
South. Some, therefore, got up this ex-
cursion with the idea that the unfavor-
able accounts would have a strong in
fluence with the negroes generally and
eventually kill the migratory movement
Quite large number Of whites took al.
vantage Of the cheap rates and joined
the excursion.

The Opening of the Burr's Mills
Campmeeting - The Arrange
ments and Exercises.

| Correspondence OF the Register.
BURR's Mills, August Ii.
The programme OF the day commenc-
ed with the ringing OF the bell at 5 A. NJ.
and which we assure you, unlike the
bells of Shandon, does not sound so
grand on the drowsy ear OF the sleepy
inmate of the little room all among the
stars, and which in our opinion seems a
very unreasonable hour to call people
from their slumbers.
Why one should make the sacrifice OF
that precious morning nap isa puzzle to
us, and one which we are unable to find
any one who can solve. At S! o'clock a
PRAYER and speaking meeting was held
at the Tabernacle, which was well at
| tended and quite interesting.
Service was held at the stand at 10
O'Clock. but sudden shower scattered
the people, whose hasty flight afforded
much OF the ridiculous, and from our
shelter caused us to smile audibly. The
meeting again convened at the Taberna-
Gle, and Father Dowdell, of Burr's Mills,
preached an interesting and instructive
sermon from Luke xiv, Is.
Many families have arrived to-day,
and at this writing the tents are all oc-
cupied, and the machinery in good
working order. The congregations are
good, much larger than at so early a
stage of any previous meeting
Mr.. Damsel, the genial boarding house
man, is again at his old stand serving
all in his best style, and at reasonable
prices.
Provisions of all kinds can be readily
procured each morning, and this year
the people of this section certainly de-
serve mention for their fair and honest
prices. Beef, fresh and tender, can be
bought for Sc at your door, while apples,
milk, butter, Eggs, &c, are no higher
and in some cases not so high as at our
homes.
One mistake has certainly been made
by this Association, namely: the erec-
ton of a large and commodiOus hotel,
which would undoubtedly pay, and is
certainly much needed, and in connec-
tion with this respectable boarding
house would add much to the appear
ance of the ground. The present
unsightly structure is the first
object that meets the eye, and
is so devoid OF beauty that one
naturally feels disappointed, and indeed
it sadly mars the otherwise beautiful
encampment.
Social intercourse, the grand feature
of campmeeting, was INDUCED in until
the hour of afternoon service, q o'clock,
when a large and attentive audience lis
tened to Rev. J. W. Toland, from lamen-
tations $40, which was delivered in his
usual effective manner.
The WOman's Foreign Missionary
Society, will hold their District Con-
vention tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. Rev.
Hingeley, the Conference Secretary, is
expected to be present and an interest
ing meeting is anticipated.
The following ministers have arrived
since yesterdays report Revs Umple-
bee, Strahl, Rider, Barnes and Wolf.
Rev. MI Slutz, will preach from the
stand, this evening, at Z! o'clock.

DOUBLE MURDER.
A Cold BlOOded Case.

Sr. LOUIS, August IA cold-blooded
and most atrociOus double murder was
committed here tonight. Thaddeus
Babbor, a plumbOr, who keeps small
shop at the corner of Sixth and Poplar
streets, and who lives with his family,
consisting of his wife, little boy about
seven years old, and his wife's mother,
an old German woman named Schoud-
ler at Sl7 South Fourth street, quar-
relied with his wife four or five days
ago and left home. AbOnt half-past
seven O'Clock tonight he returned,
slipped into the house, and while
his mother-in-law sat reading and
his wife was lying on the
bed in the same room, he
fired bullet into Mrs. Shoulders
brain, killing her instantly, and shot
his wife through the left breast, iniiict-
ing a mortal wound. He then left the
house, but was arrested few minutes
later and locked up. Aside from the
fact that Mrs. Babbor was very weak
from the effect of the injury received,
she was extremely reticent and would
give no particulars of the affair, or tell
what quarrel between them was about.
She was sent to the hospital.
Babbor made a statement TO the effect
that he formerly lived at Richmond,
Va; that the young woman he shot to-
night is not his wife, but he has lived
with her as such, off and on, several
years; that he wished to marry, her but
the old woman (her mother) would not
consent; that the old woman forced her
daughter to prostitute herself for money
as a source of revenue, and that
she was vicious and vile; that
when he left the house few days
ago ii was in consequence of a quarrel
with Mrs Schoudler about her daughter,
he wishing to marry the latter, but the
old woman refused TO give her consent;
that he went TO the house tonight
under the impression and believing
man was TN ere with the daughter and
he wanted to know il; that when he
entered the room where the women were
Mrs. SChoudler drew a pistol on him
and he shot her; that he did not intend
TO shoot the daughter, but after the first
shot he heard noise in the next room,
the door of which opened, and thinking
he saw man, he raised his pistol has
tily to defend himself, when it was dis
charged unintentionally, the ball strik-
ing the young woman in the breast, as
above stated. He regrets this part OF
the affair very much, but rather glories
over the killing of the old woman, and
says he is willing to hang for it. The
child mentioned above, it is now said,
did not belong either to Babbor or the
young woman.

WHEELING, w. VA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1879
WASHINGTON.

Decision in Harper's Ferry Land Case.
WASHINGTON, August l4.-The SOlici-
tor Of the Treasury has rendered de-
cision in the Harper's Ferry land case,
pending since the winter Of lS77-1S.
The solicitor has decided 10 remit to
the purchasers, who apply for abate-
ments, two-thirds of the original pur-
chase price agreed to be paid by them,
to charge interest on the present ap-
praised value from date OF purchase
from the government and require those
obtaining abatements to account for the
rents and profits. The persons inter-
ested express dissatisfaction with the
decision and have appealed to the
Acknowledgement for the construction
of the law passed by Congress for their
relief.
The Latest Political Rumor.
WASHINGTON, August l4.-The latest
political rumor agog here is that Secre-
tary Evarts has at last caught the con
tagion OF the Presidential itch. While
he will be less demOnstrative than his
cabinet associate, Sherman, he will, at
least, be more practical in using the
ends to reach the Presidential goal. 1t
is whispered here among the foreign
Premiers and intimate friends that the
Secretary has placed himself in the
hands Of his friends, and that il the
Republicans OF New York tender him
the Gubernatorial nomination he will
gladly accept. 1t is urged by those who
see the wisdom in Mr. Evarts desiring
such nomination that the chances
of his election would be good,
inasmuch as the breech between
Tilden and the Tammany Democrats
promises TO magnify rather than be
healed. 1t is charged here, too, that the
recent talk Secretary Evarts had with
Thurlow Weed was preconcerted
affair, and was arranged so as to let it
get into the newspapers to work up an
Evarts "boom." OF course, if Evarts
should receive the nomination, and the
lightning should happen to knock him
into Gov. RObinson's seat, he would
have n good start in the Presidential
race-as good one, at least, as Secre-
tarv Sherman. Another budget OF gos-
sip which crops out occasionally is that
ii Secretary Sherman finds that he is to
be left in the race for the nomination in
1880, he will turn in and advocate the re-
nomination of Hayes. Sherman hates
both Grant and Blaine, and rather than
that either should lead the Republican
ticket he would far prefer Hayes, be-
cause with the latter he has been al
lowed to do about as he pleases, and is
the Warwick OF the present regime. His
calculations now are that he will have
in the next nominating convention for
himselfa majority OF the delegates from
the South, the vote OF Ohio, half OF New
England, and a good following in the
New York and Pennsylvania delega-
tions. If he can not stem the Grant
tide, the plan is to have the Sherman
delegates pledged to Hayes as second
choice, and when Johns cannon is ex-
ploded to turn over whatever following
he has for the nomination OF Hayes.
