THE ExODUs MOVEMENT - Washington,
N0rem5er 20.-The "Emigrant Aid Socie-
ty" has issued from It's headquarters In
this city an appeal to the philanthropic
people Of the North for aid and sympathy
In helping the exodus Of the colored peo-
pie Of the South. The document, which
Is somewhat lengthy, is of the most high
ly infianled partisan character, retailing
the worn-out ISLANDERS against the whito
people of the South, and painting the
present condition ofthe negroes as "worse
than slavery" 1t Is stated that the soci-
ETY. Is devoting its attention TO the matter
OF organizing the westward movement
and giving 1t proper and Intelligent di-
rection. The information is conveyed
that II will require "ready money in con-
siderable quantity" to carry out the OBJ
iects Of the society, and this the people
of the North are notified that they arc ex-
pected to provide. 1t Is stated that na-
tional advisory committee has been
formed, with Senator Window as chair
man, and composed of leading citizens of
the various States and Territories. From
what has already transpired of the objects
and purposes of those who have been
prominent in fomenting the exodus it
can be we'll surmised that the "proper
on Of will be "dictreion" TO localities
were political aims are to be subserved-
the State of Indiana, for instance
Among the officers of the society through
whom whatever contributions that are
received from the North will ~ .'ispens-

Later trains have brought many mem

now fair prospect Of quorum in both
honDes tomorrow. The representatives
frouln the upper portion of the State are
nearly oil here, but have seen none of the
Charleston delegation as yet. The general
sentiment appears TO be overwhelming in
favor of adjournment by the 23d Of Deem
Der, although few seem disposed to de-
preciate what they style Fastening OF the

There is q vague intimatlon that the
phosphate question will be br light up
again, but In what form or by wnom is as
yet unknown. The probabilities Of fight
over the convict farming, are becoming
stronger. The subject will certainly be
brought up.
II Is probable that an attempt will be
made, during the present session, to change
the existing laws regarding the collection of
taxc--,. and revolntionize the present system
entirely. What success It will meet II Is
impossible as yet to tell. One Of the chan

Qnito an excitement was created In the
New York Stock Exchange on last Fri
day, which came near producing se-
rious panic and tnumber or failures.
Only one failure Is reported. Stocks Of
all kinds deprecated from TO 20 per
cent. in thu morning, but in the after
noon recovered from to IA per cent,
thus preventing the panic, which In Che
morning seemed inevitable. This bear
movement with which Jay Gould, 3. r.
Keene, Russell Sage ond Addison Com
mack, who command millions, are cred
tied, and which IL successful must have
proved the ruin Of many, was failure.
If the effects OF the gambling operations
ofthe bulls ard pears of tho New York
Stock Exchange were confined to the
members of tho Exchange, the country
would have but LILLE interest in them,
but all holders of stooks and securities
must suffer the loss which all such bear
movements produce.

that the causes alleged for the unusual

account for the great number Of deaths,

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The bank clearances yes
terday amounted to not less than $1,000 0O
The impression gained ground on yesterday
that New York parties were combined to hold
up the Chicago wheat market, and it was sig
nifcantly remarked when the extent of the
clearances came to be known, that it was evil
dent there was plenty of money put forward
to take the wheat, and that it didn't look
as though holders were going to allow
the prices to be much depressed.
The market is at present so caprioious and un-
stable that it puzzles every one, and since
the BEARS and indeed many of the bulls, can't
for the life of them see what it is, either
European market and great additions to tho
accumulation of wheat that keeps the price up,
they are constrained to believe that this market
is being held up by a gambling ring some
where, and they think it is in New York.
Whether the conjecture is correct one or not,
certain it is that the market is firm, and that
the present appearances indicate
that buyers will easily absorb
as many bushels of wheat at fairly stiff price as
the bulls care to give them, even though the
sales should amount to something among the
millions. The following were the receipts and
shipments of breadstuffs at this point during
the past week. Receipts-Flour, barrels, &c.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The cable reports look as
though they were manipulated. At first, they
came in this morning announcing that wheat
was higher. Then it was said to be an error.
and that it was corn which had advanced, and
the advance made on the false report was tenn
porarily lost. It is evident that the entire
market is manipulated at Chicago, New York,
London and Liverpool, with the headquarters
of the deal at New York. Real values are not
considered in the milking process of the

and IF corn small. Provisions were a shade
higher, with very small trade. There was no
change in cash prices, except in wheat, which
closed at $1:1719.

Dissatisfaction With the Genital System in
New York.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-After the first grain call
at the produce exchange yesterday, an inform
al meeting of the trade was held, at which J.
H. Merrick presided. Henry T. Kneeland Of
fered a resolution asking the board of mana
gers to rescind their action with regard to tho
adoption of the GENITAL system applied to the
dealings in grain. The resolution set forth
that the Genital system would seriously inter.
fere with and threatened to destroy the bust
ness in options. Mr.. Kneeland said the trade
had patiently tried the experiment and found
it entirely impracticable. Business men, he
added, had no time to waste in making all the
complex calculations necessary to conform to
the new system. The country traders could
not be got to understand its workings, and it
was extremely difficult to educate out of town
merchants. Mr.. Kneeland believed that the
effort to establish the Genital system would not
be successful without congressional legislation.
The resolution was unanimously carried. A
resolution to call January options in bushels
was adopted.
