States think it sufficient to allow their Envoy few

thatiit will impose an expenditure its occu-

THE HEGIRA.

The wonderful hegira of colored
people from the south to Kansas proves
several very interesting things: first that
they are ready for a negro territory;
second that their old love for the
'sunny SOUTH is fast fading away; third
that there are loo many of them in the
south for its requirements. They are
coming too, from all quarters. At
first a strongly republican parish in
Louisiana sent forth all the immigrants;
but the fame Of the movement has
reached the cabins in other states and
their colored occupants are steaming to
st. Louis.
When Senator Window introduced
his resolution, lie did it in good faith,
and, as it now appears, with "a know
ledge of Of the negro's character great
er than he was credited with. He
was ridiculed In endless measure for
his ethiopian scheme" and g~ratuitously
branded as the most visionary states
man in the country. But recent
developments have sustained him, and
correspondingly routed those who be-
Titled him by the column.
1t is easy to understand why the
colored people are ready and anxious
to forsake the old plantations. They
are abused and hated. even outside of
election matters, although they do the
real work of the south. Hard times
press severely On them. They cannot
depend upon their food and raiment with
any reasonable certainty; and then it is
not provided for them as in the days of
slavery. Therefore, with want continu-
ally harassing them, they are most
willing listeners to tales of thrift and
ease which await them in Kansas, and
improvidential that they are, in their
ignorance, they flock without any
thought of the morrow, other than the
tales of plenty which were poured into
their willing ears.
As the colored population of the south
has been increasing more rapidly in
piopoitiou buun Vic iuuuSltlto dllu
agricultural interests of that section, it
is manifest that many of them can
easily DO spared. Indeed the departure
of one-fourth of the entire number
might prove a boon to the remainder;
for the labor market would be relieved
of its surplus and better prices and
steadier employment would be obtained.
There is nothing to be lost in the
strange i%nfatuation of these poor people,
IL all the immigrants obtain employ
ment. If they get this much, it will
prove that they were needed where
they have gone. 1t is well that spring
is at land, for the farmers can the
better provide employment.
We would suggest that some induce
ment be thrown out to these colored
immigrants to go to some of the west
ern states which r close politically.
A few thousands of them sent to Ind
lana, Ohio, Or Minnesota, would bring
about a ''solid north" and thus would
the prosecutions of the colored race in
the south be the means of overbalanc-
ing the political power of the confeder-
ate states, and prevent the ''solid
south'' from obtaining control of the
reins of government.

FI7Z JOHN PORTER,S CASE.

Democratic newspapers, north and
south, are just now takinga deep inter-
est in the probable result of the re-hear-
ing in the Fitz John Porter case. The
LEADER has, whenever it took occa-
sion to refer to the matter, advanced
the opinion that the sentence imposed
upon and carried into execution
against Porter in 1868 was eminently
just. Now, however, the confeder-
ates, whose Porter sought to adj
vance, are in the majority in the halls
of legislation. This being the cas- the
LEADER is not surprised to find the
following in a Tilden-R Randall paper:
IF the court-martial cannot find it
in its power to do FitZ John Porter
justice, it becomes the duty Of Presi-
dent Hayes and the senate to do SO.
They should make his vindication COM
plete by promptly restoring him to his
proper rank in the army. Not, how
ever, as a compensation for the injury
done to him, for that cannot be CON-
pensated and, simply as the liquida-
ton of a just debt, should have all
the pay which has been withheld from
him since the. date of his dismissal.
Anything short of this would be less
than justice, for not only has a faithful
soldier suffered many years the disgrace
Of crimes of which he was not guilty,
but n part Of his unjust sentence was the
loss of occupation and its.reward. To
prove his innocence he has been COM
PEELED to spend vast sums"
The LEADER writer happened to be
present as a reporter during the trial
of Gen. Porter in 1868, and is, there
fore, conversant with the facts in the
case IS then developed by the court
martial as it progressed. He has care
fully read the testimony as furnished
before the court held recently in that
case. There is no material difference
between the evidence adduced in 1868
and that brought to the surface in 1879
after a lapse of sixteen years. The
opinions of Judge Advocate Gen. Holt
rendered in 1868 are proven by the re-
cent trial, to be well founded and based
upon the facts. Nothing new has been
developed. Porter as a traitor in 1868
is none the less such in 1879. When
the blow fell upon him it was deemed
n well merited by his acts. The ver-
dict pleased every union man In the
land. Every loyal heart leaped for joy
at the result. After a fair and impar-

MANY finely spun theories have been
constructed to account for the importa-
ton of yellow fever. The strangest of
all is that Of DIR. Jacob West, of
BORNE, Texas, who gives it air in the
Register of that town. He is happy in
the citation of numerous instances to
prove that the fever is transmitted by
means of coffee. At least f~our-ffths
of the coffee consumed in the United
States comes from the very hot-beds of
the yellow fever plague. 1t has been
his experience that towns which were
most rigidly quarantined, were infected
by the smuggling of some ''harmless''
coffee.

DAVID DAVIS is beginning to wonder
Of what use he is in the senate. He
belongs to neither side, and each can
get along without him. He is about as
important in the senate as the green
hackers are in the house. He can't
make a majority for the democrats,
since they have that without him, and
he cannot make a majority for the re-
publicans, quadrupled as he is in size,
for several other members are needed
to accomplish that. So he stands re-
jected, and would seem awful lonely,
were it not for enormous size.

tial trial before some of the brightest
stars in the then military constellation,
he was found guilty of all the charges
preferred against him. He was elected
in disgrace from the service, and in the
language of the sentence, 'sforever dis
qualified from holding any Office of
profit or trust under the United States
government, either civil or military
Cashiered and dismissed from the SER
vice, he stood before the American
people a tried and convicted traitor.
Considering the results OF the disobedi-
ence Of which Fitz John was guilty, the
leniency instead of the severity Of the
sentence should have been condemned.
The army was subjected to defeat, the
war prolonged and the walls iof sorrow
and ~desolation assembled to heaven from
many a hearth stone. Though his SEN
tence was te~rrible-though he went
forth from the military crucible into
the wide world a lightning-scathed
monument Of an outraged and indig-
nant loyal element of the nation-the
crimes of which he was guilty were of
the darkest and most damnable dye.
The reverses to our arms brought
about by Porter in August 1868,
strengthened the rebel forces, gave them
renewed energy, buoyed up their droop-
ing spirits and, in fact, gave a
new lease of life to their unholy cause.
The appointment of Pope to COM
mand the army of the Potomac was
charged by the rebel sympathizers in
the north with being an act of hostility
to Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan, now demo-
cratic governor of New Jersey. When,
through the treachery of Porter, q de-
feat fell upon the forces marshaled by
Pope, it was Erejoiced over by McClel-
lan's friends throughout the northern
states. And it was quite generally held
by loyal men, at that time, that if
McClellan's conduct had been subjected
to a searching investigation the result
would have proven conclusively that he
was in league with Porter in an effort
to bring disgrace upon Pope. In brief,
Little Mac'' and Fitz John Potter be-
longed to that class of commanders,
and that kind of politicians, who would
rather see the nation perish than that
slavery should die.
Sixteen years after Porter's crimes
against the nation were committed he
secures a re-hearing OF his case. The
witnesses in his defense were mainly
secured from the ranks of those who
served in the rebel army. He sought
to aid them when they were sorely be-
set; now they rush to his defense on the
principle that lone good turn deserves
another" And yet the main features
of the case remain as they were in 1868.
The telegraph informs us that the re-
port of the court martial, as sent to
President Hayes, will be found ''some-
what favorable to Porter" An ac-
quittal after this fashion is no acauit-
tai at all. 1t is equivalent to the de-
cision of the Dogberry justice who said
to the prisoner. mot proven but don't
you do it again."
The verdict of the loyal people of the
country in 1868 was adverse to Porter.
That opinion obtains to day and no
amount of whitewashing by a confeder-
ate senate can reverse it in 1879.

THE English have found in the Zulus
"foemen worthy of their steel" The
dusky savages are brave, resolute and
well-armed-three good conditions for
success. They are not handled very
scientifically, probably, but their supe-
rior numbers compensate for a lack in
system Still, they fight well, and have
already inflicted telling disaster on
their imperious would-be c~onquerors.
Forty years ago, the Zulus wonld rush
on the enemy in a dense circular mass.
Arrived near by, the warriors suddenly
darted out and endeavored to flank on
both sides. They were armed only with
spears and axes. Now they possess the
newest and best rifles, of which they
have purchased extensively during the
last ten years.
