They have begun bulldozing" the negroes
already in Kansas. During the past week
there has been large retlux in this emigra-
ton movement as many negroes coming
back to Louisiana and Mississippi as left for
Kansas These returning negroes were de-
MED all aid or assistance by the various
negro relief associations Of st. Louis and
Kansas and generally abused as traitors. !"
Of late, however, the demonstrations against
them have grown more threatening and ag-
gressive. Mr.. A. H. Cohn, from Hard Times,
Tensas parish, offered to take back all the
colored people willing to retura home. Sixty
three agreed to do so, and were at once given
passage back to Tensas. AS soon as the other
colored emigrants heard OF this they be-
came very violent, maltreated and sbeat the
negroes who proposed to return to Louisiana,
and went SO far as to threaten Mr.. COINS
life for the part he took in the matter.

The death OF Philadelphia chemist, who
had monopoly In the quinine business and
had managed to lay by the snug sum Of $1o,-
100000, wrung by him from the sick and suf-
fering Of this country, attracted the atten-
ton OF Congress to the outrageous and un-
Just tariff on quinine. The result was that
no less than nine bills altogether, repeating
this duty, were offered In Congress the other
day. The gratifying news now comes to us
that one Of these bills Is absolutely certain Of
passage, and that quinine, one OF the neces-
sares of life in the Mississippi valley, instead
OF remaining an expensive luxury as it has
been, will now be within the reach Of the
poorest persons. The monopoly In quinine
will be killed

May is moving day in New York city. All
the leases of that metropolis expire with
April, and as few houses in the city are occu-
pied by their owners there's an extraordinary
rush and confusion on the first Of May The
papers have been urging landlords to change
this system, to arrange their leases so that
they will not all expire on the same day, as
this movement of the entire population on
May-day is serious affair and virtually sus-
ponds all business. The movement this year
was reported greater than ever before, nearly
every family having changed Its residence.
A heavy immigration into New York from
New Jersey and Brooklyn is reported. few
years ago, on account Of the crowded condi-
ton Of New York city, thousands OF families
were compelled to find residences on Long
Island and in New Jersey. The building OF
the elevated railroads bringing the upper
portion of Manhattan Island within easy
reach OF the business section OF the city has
changed all this, and those New Workers who
left the city in the past few years are all
coming back again. 1t Is calculated that the
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-06
population OF New York city was thus In
creased some 10000 people on May1.

On the day on which 1t was announced that
Congress was open for the consideration OF
other business beside the appropriation bills
no less than 1865 bills were offered; enough
to give Congress work. II each of them was
properly considered and discussed, for six
years to come. Correspondents have been
studying and indexing these bills They find
that no less than S54 of them are Of a private
nature, pension and war claims, bills that
have no business whatever before Congress.
The next largest batch are the financial bills
There are no less than twenty-five silver
bills, three bills to retire the national debt,
etc. Weaver, OF Iowa, Greenbacker, wants
| to issue SG5O,00O,0O0 in greenbacks, and
| De la Matyr $1,000 ,000 The other imam
cial schemes are too numerous TO men
ton; indeed, there Is scarcely member
of Congress who does not think himself
capable OF settling the national debt in
terest and all our financial troubles, and
has introduced bill to carry out his views.
| OF the other bills forty-tWo amend the
revenue laws, thirtytw the revised statutes,
twenty-eight regulate bounties, twenty-five
fleet the Indians, etc. There is not subject
of interest that there are not dozen bills
Il
This avalanche Of bills Is startling and
might really alarm the country did it not
know the fate that certainly awaits all Of
these pet schemes OF our Federal Legislators.
Congressional statistics tell us that it is very
unusual for 8 per cent OF the bills introduced
in Congress to pass at any session. Many OF
these schemes, moreover, are old and ancient
ones and have been offered every session since
the war, without the faintest chance of Their
ever being adopted.
50 great has this abuse Of Offering bills In
Congress that under no possibility can be-
come law grown that many members are &C
tually talking Of adopting the system pre-
yaling In the English Parliament In thai
body only certain specified committeeman are
allowed to offer bills; the other M. P.'s are
denied this right. It is thus that the English
Parliament protects itself from an avalanche
OF bills such as overwhelm our Congress ant
blocks and interferes with its work.

James Preston. Esq. Vice President Republi

Vile; and Frank Deloney ESQ, Secretary
Republican Executive Committee. parish Of
West Baton Rouge:
Dear SWs-The migration OF he coored peo-
pie from Northern Louisiana to Kansas Is one
that demands our serious consideration. The
poor victims Of this dalusion do not suspect
the miseries In store for them. The best lands
In Kansas are all taken up by white settlers
who cultivate them themselves. and there Is no
work there no employment for the colored
laborer. The winters are very cold and injuri-
GUS to the health Of the coored race. Between
the mouth Of Red river and Lake Providence.
in the parish of East Carroll. there are at this
time many hundreds Of colored people who
have sold their horses and mules and house,
hold goods to procure money to go to Kansas.
but there seems to be an understanding between
the planters and the steamboats, by which the
colored people In crowds will not be taken Cd
the river. and they are. therefore. encamped on
the banks Of the Mississippi In a starving con-
dition and suffering fearful Distress 1t Is
known that colored men have been sent to
Louisiana as enissaries by railroad men and
large landed proprietors in Kansas to excite
this movement.
It ID on these grounds that r ow write to sue "
Rest that you and the members Of your parish
executive committee from the different wards
will at once com municate with lch prominent
| colored men as you know In the northern par

800 900 men. where they can rent land Of the
most productive quality at very low rates. Wor K
the land on shares or obtain goo,i wages. as 1t
| seems there is some disagreement In the north
ern parishes between capital aud labor, which
| cannot long exist. Perhaps 1t would be well
for you and your colleagues TO iss le an address
| to the colored people, setting for the facts to
which / have referred, and you can also state
| that any colored man In the suga region work
| ing hard and conducting himself with propri
| ETY. Is treated with all due respect and can
| readily obtain all necessary advances for his

fectly coincide with the advice, given by Hon.
| Fred. DOUGLASS. one Of our leading mon. now
holding the distinguished position Of United
States marshal for the District OF Columbia,
that the colored people should RENAL n In the
South and endeavor to make their homes as
comfortable as possible. There is nothing In
this letter, however. intended to.excuse or OK
tenuate the conduct of those men. as stated In
the newspapers, and of whom the refugees on
the banks OF the river 80 loudly complain.
Very truly yours,
