Yesterday morning brought in a
large number of cOlOred emigrants
from the Mississippi. They were of
the genuine old plantation kind and
full of belief of the various stories
that hal been told them before
leaving their homes, and what
caused them to come West. after
all their baggage had been unload,

New York Sun.
This is the anniversary of a day
Of shame. Two years ago tO.day
the Electoral Commission held its
last session at Washington and
finished the work begun in Florida
and Louisiana by the men who
forged Hayes title to be President.
These men offered to sell the
Presidency of the United States in
1876, aud they found purchaser.
No Congressional investigation is
needed to discover who bought the
stolen goods or what price was paid.
The crime itself was done in dark
ness, but the payments have been
made in daylight. The record of
the honest transfers of real estate in
this city last year, registered tor the
information of all eyes, is not more
plain and accessible than the record
of the infamous purchase that was
ratified by the Eight to Seven tri-
bunal two years ago TO day.
We print this morning a list of
nearly one hundred persons prom-
inently cOnceI ned in the great crime
of 1876 Who have been rewarded
by Rutherford B. Hayes with sal
aried places. either directly within
bis gift or within the reach of his
influence. ScandalOus and venai
appointments before Hayes time
have disgraced the pay rolls of the
Government, but never has there
been such an exhibit as this!
OF those whose names appear in
this list, a great majority would be
serving out sentences in Jail or prl
son If exist.ng laws against forgery,
perjury, conspiracy, and fraud in
elections had been executed in Their
cases. They have locked to the
White House for protection against
the laws, and they have not looked
in vain.
The aggregate of the salaries be>
slowed by Hayes in payment for the
crime by which he still benefits is
one-quarter Of a million dollars an
nually. The recipients are secure
of their income as hong as Hayes re-
mains in the White House. His
four years are their four years; he
darss not cast them of, for shey
hold him la their power.
One million dollars i'm cash is the
price paid by Rutherford b: Hayes
tor his fraudulent title to the Pres.
.lency aud he pays it net cut of his
.own pocket or the pn krss of his
friel.ls. but out of the Treas,Ey.-
The f,rgers and the perjurrrs and
the IEoCurers of forgery and Easr
oalhs have been literally rewariea
fur I LIE risks they ran. Tile d"frau,i-
ell people are taxed to pay for the
xLlIl4.

Tie Chinese Going.

Two ocean steamers bore away
yesterday, says the San Francisco
Bulletin of February 18Th, three
hundred and fifty Chinese. Eighty.
five of them left by the Pacific Mail
steamer City of New York, for
Honolulu, the remaining two hun.
dred and sixty>five leaving for
China on the Occidental and Orien
ten C0mpany's steamer Gaelic.
Those OF the departing Celesiials
whose destination is Honolulu are
under contract to labor On the sugar
plantations. The embarkation of
these cOOlies presented a lively
scene at the Pacific Mail Dock.
They were hustled ON board the
tender like SO many cattle, Two
Chiuamen, presumably the agents
of some of the Six Benevolent Com
panies, stood at the gaDgway; one
holding q bundle of signed aud
sealed labor contracts, the other a
handful of tickets. AS each coolie
came forward and gave his name,
bis contract was drawn from the
bundle and ticket handed him.
Then he was unceremOniOusly SHOW
- aboard and his baggageto tossed
after him. The luggage OF the de-
parting pilgrims had q certain in.
terest for the bystander. 1t wac
curious to note what outward evil
deDces of chan ge and progress these
Asiatics were bearing away, after
residence of some years under the
flag of the United States. The
dress of the dear departed was,
with some trifiing exceptions, the
same in style and material as that
they wore as immigrants. The
same blue frock, with its little round
brass buttons, the loose pantaloons.
the braided queue, the cloth shoes,
the partly shaven skull, all bear wit
ness to the unchanging nature of
the Chinaman. Such of their per
sbnal effects as did not appear on
their backs were borne away in
bundles and III bags To the bund-
les a pair of long leather boots were
sometimes observable, and Il nuns
Der of carpet bags were noted.
Should these latter evidences Of an
advanced civilization Indicate the
presence of tramps and carpet-bag-
gers among the hOmeward- bound
CelestiAs, some changes may be
expected in the Flowery Kingdom.

The New Oyleans Time. VS. Hon
| O. r. Singleton.
Jackson Clarion
The New Orleans Times of the 9tl
inst, has bitter TRADE agains
Hon. o. r. Singleton because he op
posed the Brazilian Steamship bin
the merits of which it is foreign
from our present purpose to discuss
FrOsB it's article We extract the fol
lowing:
1--WE do not know enough about
Mr.. Singleton to enable us to- con
lecture the causes of his animOsity
Mr.. Singleton was never heard of in
these parts until an unlucky chance
flung him into Congress. He may
tye a genius or q tramp, pOet or
hummer, a statesman or an idiot
We know nothing about him further
than that he has made himself con.
spicuous by his hostility to the
Brazilian subsidy, and that In this
way he has secured u nOtUfiety
which he never could have earned,
or, at least never has earned by
deeds Of worth or value to the peo-
pie of his section. We have taken
no pains to inquire into Mr.. Single
TONS motives. 1t ia presumable
that they are not motives Of regard
for his constituents, since The steam
ship line between New Orleans and
Brazil could not possibly attack any
interest of Mississippi but would on
the contrary be in the line of Miss
ippi's welfare.
The Times but shows its own igno
rance when 1t acknowledges that it
knows nothing of Mr.. Singleton.
For its information We will state
that Mt. Singleton represented Miss
issippi in the United States Con-
gpess with distinction before the
war served during the first
year as a Captain of a company
in the 18th Regiment Mississippi
Volunteers, participating with itjn
all the battles of first Manassas and
Leesburg, and only left: the army
when he had been elected to the
Confederate Congress, where he was
faithful in every respect to the cause
most dear tUthe.hearts Of the South
ern people. When in 1875 the Rad
icals were expelled from power and
Mississippi ,me to her own again.
Mr.. Singleton was returned to the
seat he vacated in Washington in
1861. We do not know what his
"motives" were for voting against
the Brazilian bill. In any event his
are more likely to ac~
cept his statement in regard to the
measure, than they are to listen to
the TRADE of newspaper of whom
it Is said the principal proprietor is
ex. Auditor of Louisians Ander the
Radical regime of Kellogg. and who
was put into.ofice by the bayonet
after be had been, defeated at the
polls In 1874.
