Senator voorhees, introduced a reso-
luton to investigate the cause Of the
negro exodus from South Carolina and
other Southern States, to Indiana. On
the discussion which preceded its pas
sage, Senator Window of Minnesota,
made an excellent speech, showing the
real causes of the exodus to be the ut
ter impossibility Of the negroes obtain
ing their political rights i'm the South
under Democ, attic rule. He quoted
from report of Democratic commit
tee sent South several years ago to in
vestigate some of the numerous out
RACES upon Republican voters, which
says, 1.-THE fate of the negro Is either
exodus or extinction" Seeing their
mistake, the Democrats attempted to
kill the resolution. but 1t was adopted
by Republican voters. We are perfect
ly willing for the Democrats to make
all the political capital they can out of
such investigations as this, and recon-
mend that they investigate the causes
of the Maine steal, they might get some
political capital out of it. The "exo-
