WHY lie OPPOSES MR. CORNElI-TnE PROSPECTS
OF TIE ELECTION.
State Senator Theodore II. Pomaroy, of Auburn,
is AT the Windsor Hotel. 1t has been understood
for several months that a respectable showing of
Republicans particularly in the western part of the
State, were going to urge MIR. Pomeroy's name be-
fore the Republican Convention an eligible can
didate for Governor. IN case the Senator would
consent to If. Mr.. Pomeroy frankly admitted last
evening that he aspired to the honor of being
the Republican staudard-bearer. but would work
for the nomination more for the attainment of what
seemed to him to be an important political object
than TO crafty his own personal ambition. In
other words, he was opposed to the nomination of
MI Cornell on political grounds, and put himsclffor-
ward as tangible object for opposition to cluster
around: being ready however to support any good
man who would draw ont the full strength of the
Marty. The Republican who is thus open in his ex-
ures.,ou Of opinions Is a man above the medium
height. compactly built. and furnished with
broad shoulders. He has thick, coal-black hair,
chm whiskers, and looks to be not over
forty-fve years of age, while in reality he is
nearer fity-fOur. His manners are reserved, his
disposition apparently genial, and his action and
manner Of speech indicative of strength and vigor.
The slight droop to his straw hat corresponds with
the GENERAL impression his appearance gives
of the owners general hostility to anything
like display or afectation After representing his
county in the Legislature he was sent 10
Congress for four terms from 1861 to 1869, and
after Nj Collar resigned to take the Vice-Presdency
Mr. Pomeroy filled the Speakers chair for a short
time. He was temporary chairman OF the Clncin-
natl Convention that nominated Mr. Hayes, and
made a speech that awakened much attention. The

luY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Letters are being daily
received il tins city from colored men in the South,
especally IN Louisiana and Mississippi, which show
that IN northward migration still continues and
promises to assume larger proportions than ever as
soon as the crops are gathered. The letter from
which the following is an extract, was written by
colored man in one of the river parishes of Louisl-
ana. under date of the 9th instant. 1t indicates
that the extent of the exodus next Fall will depend
somewhat on whether the colored people are
allowed TO vote at the coming election or not. The
writer says
The Republicans. will, in my opinion, put full
ticket in the field. and by proper management .h,!
can elect their candidates. Perhaps the Democracy
may again attempt TO iuaugurate Dulidozng lloiS,

A colored preacher who writes from Southern
Mississippi, August -, gives less cheerful picture
OF the situation there. He says:
Our people are stil trying get away from here,
few ii tim think all that leave are honest hard
working people. The whites work the cOlOred people
hard and IN not give them dime of money. They are
talking about running out Of this country for telling
my people TO leave.
Another colored man writes from one of the river
counties of Mississippi for information, and says:
A goodly number of the colorei citizens of this
county earnestly desire to move to Kansas where
they hope to have the benefit of their labor and
their rights protected"
Several of the letters from Mississippi express the
hope of the writers that the divisions in the Demo
cratic party in that State may somehow result in
securing better treatment of the colored people, but
they all show that the latter in at least dozen
counties are quietly determined to emigrate at the
f1st opportunity.
