Meeting ofColored Aid Society at ST.
I,OIlS-

Mr. Turner explained that committee OF
twenty-five had been appointed from the va
rious churches when the refugees were first
stranded here; that this committee had done
its business in a very random and irresponsi-
bic way, and that now they were wholly dis
organized and could not be got together.
The importance of national organization
vas then discussed to meet the emergencies OF
the present great aud threatened greater exc
dus from the Southern States, and Mr.. Turner
said the movement extended over the whole
Southern area and instead of there being any
hope OF its abatement the migration would
continue until before the fall. Every last ne
gro in the South would have folded his tent
and stolen away. Ten thousand had moved
from Kentucky last year, and some OF them
had formed a colony twenty miles from Law
renee. Kan. and known as Nicodemus; there
were some 1000 families there, and they were
ge,ting along well. Mr.. Turner further ex-
pIaipcd THAI there were many reasons for the
exodus Northward, but the principal was the
conflict between capital and labor and the ex-
travagaRce both Of the white planter and the
colored laborer, the latter OF whom ran up
then. besides this, the colored man was
politically ostracised, bull-dozed, shot, hung,
etc.
Mr. Merreu suggested that there had al
WAYS been slight immigration into Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York, and Mr.. Turner
answered that that had been going on ever
since the war.

Coon An Orfi rance o. the city,
published in our alvcrtsiog columns,
gives to the Clerk Of the Council, Mr..
f. =. Osborne. one hundred dollars as
compensation for his services addition
al to his regular salary. Mr.. Osborne
has been most faithful and efficient
officer. and as the salary is entirely
disproportiored to the time aud labor
required, this act of tho Council was
one of simple justice for which no one
will be condemned. We believe in the
keeping Of but few public servants, and
these few we believe in working and
paying we'll. Experience has proved
that in government affairs this is the
best policy.
