The Negro Exodus.

About 40 Southern refugees, men, women
and children, arrived in St. Louis on Monday
from Kansas, and left on the steamer Howard
Tuesday evening for their former homes in
Warren county, Miss. They gave an unfa.
vorable account Of their reception and treat.
ment in Kansas, and expressed much pleasure
in being able 10 return to the South. They
were abuudantly supplied with all the neees.
saries for their trip down the river By in,cres.
ted parties.
A meeting in aid OF the eolored emigration
from the South was held Monday evening in
Washington. Speeches were made by Sena.
tor Window. ey.seoretaFy of Senate, Gorham
and Bishop Campbell (eOlored) Of Mississippi.
One hundred and twenty dollars we're contri.
buted for the movement, and check for a
500 was received from Robert Ingersoll, and
a committee was appointed to solicit sub.
scriplions.
Several hundred emigra,ing negroes en-.
caTped near Carolina and Leoto landings.
Miss, are reported to have armed themselves.
1t IS supposed they intend to seize a steamer
and compel it to take them 10 Kansas.
Over 800 eolored emigrants from the South
arrived in Atehison, Kansas, Friday week,
most OF them in a destitute condition. They
were housed in colored churches and their
immediate wants provided for. Much suffer,
ing is expected If the influx continues. As
there is liulc demand for unskilled labor N
that section.

The notion used to be entertained that
the government Of the United States Is
based upon the viii Of the people. That
that win, as expressed at the ballot box,
is the very foundation Of the government.
How far that viii has been thvarted is
seen BY the fact that the present ineum-
bent Of the White House is there BY fraud
and suEsnnce, and not by the viii Of the
people, more than quarter Of a million
majority Of whom recorded their viii that
he should not Gil the Executive Office,
Not oaly BY his fraudulent induction into
Office, was the peoples win set at defiance,
but recently BY his veto Of the army bill
forbidding the use 6f soldiers at the polls.
He has set himself up against the win Of
the people and Of their representatives in
Congress. Instead Of a government Of
the people, we now have the one man
power asserting itself in defiance Of the
popular viii. The anomaly is presented
Of a minority controlling a majority; the
viii Of one man set up audaciously against
the viii Of the many, aud that will not
even legitimately exercised The veto
power was given to prevent hasty or i'm
proper legislation in the enactment Of new
laws, not to prevent the repeal Of old ones,
If Congress could enact this law, could ii
not also repeal il? Is the President a
part Of the law making power? He CON-
plains that Congress undertakes to eoerce
him. That Is not trde. 1t simply takes
away from him power which is uncon-
stitutional and dangerous to liberty. In
doing so it but exercises a function the
right Of which no sane man viii question
To question it is to assert that Congress:
can pass law which it cannot repeal, al
absurdity SO glariDg as not to be enter
tanned for a moment. Il is the President
coereing Congress, and We wonder at the
temerity which actuates bin, 10 view Of
all the circumstances Of the case. II he
were the exponent Of the popular wiIl,-ii
he had a majority Of the people at biz
baek-or il he had majority 10 Congress:
the case would be different As it is
only the patience, forbearance and con.
servatism of Ioug-suffering and outraged
majority can tolerate such condition Of
things. 1t does not require much sagacity
to foresee that the strain thus put upon
the endurance and forbearanee Of the ma.
jority may become too great, and that the
power Of that majority may rise up to assert
itself in way that will command respect
and secure its legitimate supremacy under
the constitution and laws.

To BE- Bound with Whites.


The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Saa says that the Department
Of Justice viii hereafter bd restrained from
paying dollar Of the appropriation made
for the support Of that department to cleo
ton supervisors and deputy marshaIs; il
the President is determined to hang on to
the machinery and appliances Of the odions
election laws the agents selected 10 carry
on the work will have to labor for love.
In the last three years the House OF Rep
resentatiyes, in voting the appropriations,
absiained from giving anything for cleo
ton supervisors and deputy marshals, but
the language Of the appropriations admit
ted Of such latitude Of construction that the
Department Of Justice has been enabled to
apply the fuods entrusted 70 Il to the pay
nens Of the army 81 parsisans 10 tho shape
q deputy marshals Care will now BE-
taken that 10 such discretion can be OK
ercised, as every item Of appropriation 70

apeci6c that it cannot be diverted to an,
other purpose.

The War in South America.

A despatch from Panama dated April %,
says The first naval encounter Of the three.
cornered duel now going on in South America
took place on the 18th instant, of the river
Los, between the Chiliau corvette Magellaneo
on one side and the Peruvian vessels Union
and Pilcomayo on the other. The Peruvian
vessels sailed from Callao several weeks ago
to Autotagusta. On their arrival at that point
they found the harboF deserted. They then
proceeded north, and when abreast Of the
river Loa sighted the CHILEAN vessel. Sharp
firing was maintained for two hours. bnt Il
appears that any damage inflicted was slight
The CHILEAN vessel had six guns TO oppose
twenty, and after burning a little powder
without effect the CHILEAN captain concluded
TO withdraw from the fight, which he did,
running away easily from the Peruvian ships.
No report OF casualties has been made public,
but Capt. Garcia, in command ofthe Peruvian
vessels, reports that his command behaved
remarkably well.
Gillian residents in Peru have been notified
that they must leave the country. The Chill.
ian squadron has destroyed the loading appa-
ratus, consisting Of tramway, chutes, &c, of
the Guano Loading Company, OF Pabelion de
Plea, Huanillos and elsewhere. These works
cost a large amount Of money, and were the
properties offoreigners Vessels atthe guano
deposits have been notified to leave. There
are something like fifty vessels Of over thou.
sand tons burthen at the various deposits. and
il will be great hardship aud entail serious
losses upon their owners 10 be driven off with.
out a cargo.
General Daza, the President Of Bolivia, at
the head Of 1000 troops, is rapidly approach
ing the territory occupied by the Chilians.

Hayes and Evarts Inconsistent.

Hayes, and Evarts, his prime minister,
both evince their Inconsistency, ifnot their
insincerity, BY their support Of the statute
allowing the presence Of the military at
the polls. They both held different views
few years since, and cannot be credited
with an honest char &c Of sentiment. Their
present position is at war with their former
honest convictions. During the agitation
growing out Of Durells infamous midnight
order and its violent enforcement BY the
military 10 Louisiana Mr.. Eyar,s was pres.
ent at a monster indignation pseeting 10
New York city, and msde<a memorable
speech in favor Of ssubordinatiou Of the
military to ths-eisil power In 1868, when
Attorney General Of the United States, he
Erotc letter to the United States marshal
for the northern district of Florida, in
which he said, in precise language, that
Athe authority to suppress disorder and
preserve the peace belongs exclusively to
the civil authorities of the States" But
perhaps Mr.. Eyarts might try to justify
himself, as Hayes would be forced to do,
by the plea that Atempora mutantur ct nos
matamr ~ Ills" The times are changed
and we are changed with them. The
President, who now objects to the practice
Of inserting extraneOus provisions in ap-
PROPAGATION bills, himself, when a member
Of Congress, voted to insert such provisions
10 such bills, and he voted also to impcach
President Andrew johnson, upon the
ground Of official irregularity in having
improperly exercised the veto power

LABOR STRIKEs-If business should
revive all over the country, labor strikes
would speedily interrupt it and throw it
into confusion again. Strikes are in pro.
gress, somewhere, nearly all the while As
fast as one set of hands are paei6cd aud
resume work in one place, another, some
where else, breaks out with discomfort and
quit their employment. SO it goes, con-
tiuually, to the serious injury Of all the
leading industries If the country. 4 strike
is nov 10 progress at the Williston Mills,
East Hampton, Mass. A tape factory at
North Hampton dependent upon the Viii
liston Mills for its supplies has been com.
PEELED to shut down. Two hundred miners
at Pittsion, Pa. struck on the u inst
against ten per cent. reduction in their
wages. The spinners in five of the Fall
River, Mass, mills, contemplate a strike in
about three weeks The tack makers Of
Taunton, Mass, also threaten strike on
account Of contemplated reduction Of
wages. The strike Of the 'longshoremen
and dock labOrers in New York continues.
The departaxessuhe European steamer was
delayed from Saturday until Monday last,
while another had hard work in getting its
cargo on 10 time, and the shipments we're
consequently light. The striking glass
blowers Of Pittsburg have received $4,000
in help from outside sources. The strike
on the Canada Pacific Railroad in Mani
tOba continues, and over 1000 men are
engaged in it. The cause is a reduction
of wages and bad board. 1t is reported
from Winnipeg that matters are peaceful,
aud from St. Paul that violence is threat
ened and the militia have been sent to the
scene. The socialist leaders at Chicago
assert that they, with the trades unions,
are organizing strike TO begin July 5,
aud to be general throughout the country.
They will demand the universal adoption
Of the eight-hour system, aud will settle
the matter Of wages after their demands
on that point are acceded to.

The senlhsm Labor Convention.

The Mississippi Valley Labor Convention
met Al Nieksburg, on Monday. Some Of The
delegates we're cOlorsd men. Great diversity
Of opinioa existed as TO what ought 10 Be
done, and as to the cause Of the late exodus
Of the blacks The first day was spent in or.
ganizatiuu and consultation. Some favored
measures looking toward a better understand
ing between employers aud employed. both
as 10 wages and political rights; while others
intended to introduce resolutions for the re-
placement of the emigratiug blacks BY Chi
nese and white immigrants. On Tuesday the
Committee on Resolutions submitted long
report. Il declares the causes Of the cOl0red
exodus to be the low price Of cotton aud par
ual iailure Of the past years crop, the bad
system Of planting and bad management ia
some sections, a vicious system OF credit per
hitting laborers and tenants to mortgage
crops in advance, aud the circulation ofinsid-

concludes with a set Of resolutions affirming
the community OF interests Of the planter and
laborer; recognizing the social and political
rights OF the colored people; pledging the
members Of the Convention 10 use their infla.

among the ignorant and credulous; asking the
eolored people 10 fulfil their labor contracts

shall then desire to emigrate, every assistance
will be afforded them, and their places sup.

Lo THE Poor INDIAN.-The goyerr-
ment at Washington has Information that
preparations are on foot for a formidable
irruptiOn Of white settlers into the Indian
Territory. II was the subject Of cabinet
meeting, on Friday Of last week, and it
was announced that the Eruption would
be prevented, 0s far as practicable. This
qualification was well put in, for 1t is
hardly practicable TO stay this tide of en-
igration to our western territory. When
the Black Hills were invaded b. the gold
hunters it was announced that the Modoc
Reservation woad be protected, and U. s.
Cavalry were sent forward, ostensibIy for
that purpose, but the miners went on with
out interruption. So il viii be until not

He was not brilliant man, but was pos
sessed Of sound common sense, and the
general business of the government was
well conducted. In his message ia 1882
bis remarks on the "Iioly Alliaoce' com

doctrine there laid down has ever since
been known as the Monroe Doetrine" and

Mr.. Monroe's miseonception of the "era Of
good feeling and the political cobse-

vices. When it attempts to bring down
Mr. Monroe to a level with Mr.. Hayes, it
does for itself, what honest Dogberry de-
