A Blathersktte Gives His Views With Ref
erence to the Negro Exodus.
ST. LOUIS, May ll.-Gen. Conway, of New
work of improving the condition of the col
ored people of the South, has been here several
days in behalf of the charitable and philan-
thropic people of Philadelphia, to ascertain
the condition and needs of the refugees from
the South and report to the people how they
may be easily helped. In an interview which
will be published in the Globe-Democrdt to-
morrow he says: The exodus is only in it's in
fancy and if it were not for the
terrorism exercised over the negroes by the
planters and merchants along the Mississippi
river to keep them from leaving there would
have been q, 900 refugees here now. He thinks,
however, this terrorism will wear out after a
short time and the colored people will then be.
gin to leave again. He also says many more
would have left but for the fact the steam boat
men have refused them transportation under
threats of merchants, planters and others that
they would withdraw their patronage if they
continued to take emigrants away. He thinks
the negroes in the South ought to come out
but advises them not to leave till provision is
made for them in the North and West. He
says he has already received offers of employ
ment on farms in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania for thousands and in Indiana alone he
says homes and good wages can be had for
5000 in twenty days. Owing to the not
altogether harmonious feeling among the
colored people of this city who SO far have
done the principal work in assisting the re.
fugee she thinks committee of trustworthy and
influential white citizens should be organized
here; if this isidone he lsays there would be nc
lack of money to carry on the work, but a:
things exist now not much assistance can b.
looked for from the East.

into the powers of Satan. The reverend speak
er here disclosed a scroll which had been taken
from the tromb of Mohammed's uncle near
the city of Pekin.
The scroll bore singular inscription, which
the speaker described MS being the primative
language spoken by Christ and the early Chris
tlans. There were many other evidences which
tended to show the manner in which truth had
been spread abroad in Christ. The blood that
had been freely shed from the idolatrous
shrines of the East was symbolical of the GRIM
son stream which Christ had shed to wash
away the sins of the world.
After adverting to the corrupt influence Of
idolatrous worship, the reverend speaker allud-
ed to the advance of Christianity among the
nations of the East, and the probability of
their early conversion to the religion of Christ.
The denizens of China were fast spreading

They were to be fonnd in Asia, Siam, London,

In looking at the question from spiritual

the metals to be the means on the one hand of
being medium to bring the nations of the
earth together, and on the other to bring them
into contact with the saving powers of Chris-
tianity..

in which the representatives of China were first
induced to visit this country, by learning of

The speaker said that there was no danger ot

great majority Of the race were afraid Il
foreigners. They were afraid of the evil
powers that were supposed to inhabit and in

leave their nation. 1t had been said that they
were inflicted with leprosy, but in the speakers y
experience he had never seen but one inflicted

! While they had many vices, they also p.s-
( sessed many of the most commendable virtues.
They made honest and Trustworthy servants

obtained, was of the most sincere and exalted
character. After speaking of their indust, V.
sobriety and general usefulness, the speaker
adverted to their gradual conversion to all that
was best and highest in American civilization.
In conclusion, the speaker said that amor.
the paramount duties OF all true Christis n-,
was to pray for the outpouring of Christianity
over the unconverted nations of the world. 1t
had been Gods method to plough the natiOi,a
with war and affection before sanctifying them
with the gift of his holy spirit. Christ hr,
commanded that his followers should 60 in ..
the world and preach the gospel unto al ma',

The White Bear WraDgle

Now that we have succeeded in inaugurating
quite war among our White Bear correspond
ents it may be as we'll to state that the
original article relative to Webbers' road,
the so-ca]led "blood on the moon" article was
written by GLOBE reporter without limit,
suggestion or request by any one who ever
lived at White Bear. 1t was published simply
an item of news, and was strictly true,
and the GLOBE don't care a toss up
how much the White Bearites wrangle about
it. Neither does it care how they settle their
rad rumpus, but the GLOBE will record the
news as it occurs. The jocular allusion to
''blood on the moon" appears to have been be-
yond the depth Of at least one of our CORES
pondents and has worried him hugely.
This much is said because one resident of
White Bear has been blazing away at another
resident of White Bear, under the supposition
that he was the author of an article which the
GLOBE perpetrated on its own no, and without
inspiration from any source. It was simple
item of news, and but for lack of common
sense would have been so accepted.

That in the dispensation of the fullness of

and which are On earth, even in him.
The reverend speaker said that after nine
teen hundred years of material and spiritual
progress Pauls inspired remarks to the Ephe-
SLAMS remained unfulfllcd, and Christians were
reminded of the important truth that even to-
day the religion of Christ was taught to com
paratively small number of the earth's inhab-

countries who worshiped and obeyed Christ in
their heart and life, was also limited, while
the wonderful and terrible mystery of Chris
