Break in California Mining Stocks.

SAN FRANClSCo. March 24.--The usual
diversity Of theories exists as Ia the
cause oi the present break in stocks, but
the weight ot opinion attributes II to the
uncertain state Ot feeling prevalent IN
banking and other business circles, O.
casioned by the approaching election on
the question of the adoption OF the new
Constitution. The proposed document
meets with no favor in financial circles,
and the general opinion there seems TO
be that its adoption will cause
grave business depression. Another
theory accepted by many attributes the
panic To a combination, the object OF
which is TO affect public opinion on the
elec, ION of wOrkingmen, and the adoption
of the new Constitution as a party meas
ure. and are urging il strong. IL proha-
bly meets with considerable favor IN
some portions of the State among the
farmers, but the business classes are
arraying themselves against it with even
greater VlgOr.

WASHINGTON.
Joint Caucus Committee Meet
Ing

WAsHISeroN, March 54-A meeting
Of the Democratic joint caucus commit
tee was held this evening for the pur-
pose OF consideringt the proposition sug-
gested at meeting OF the Democratic
House caucus committee on Saturday,
and also to prepare other measures TO
presented to the joint eau
Gus of the Democratic members
of both Houses to be held
tomorrow after tine adjournment Of the
Senate. There was considerable discus
sion on the propriety uf adopting the
full views of the caucus of Saturday, the
result being the determination to re-
ject the proposition Of Representative
Springer concerning the army at the
polls and ballot regulations. The dis
position OF the committee favored no
affirmative legislation. 1t was agreed to
allow two supervisors, who are not,
however, 10 possess the right OF count
ing the ballots, hut only 10 be present
as witnesses at the polls, and they are
TO be qualified voters at the precints
where they act.
The Greenbsckers to the Front.
WASHINGTON, March PA call has
been issued for a caucus OF Greenback-
ers, to be held tomorrow night. In
this call all Republicans and Democrats
who sympathize with the financial views
of the Nationals are invited to partiCi-
pate. They are in favor of entering
upon general legislation, especially in
relation To financial measures, and If
members of other parties decline TO CO.
operate with them in their endeavor To
pass measures which they believe 10 be
demanded by the business interests Of
the country setting forth the facts,
advising the Nationals to per
feet State and county organ
izations, and urging independent
action. Whether the other Greenback
members OF the House unite with them
or not, they will themselves attempt To
itiOn Of the National Banks, to the re-
tirement of the National Bank note cir
Culation and the issuance Of all money
by the government, to the increase OF
the greenback circulation, and To the
payment of the National debt, principal
and interest, i'm greenbacks. There is a
good deal of talk both among the Ma
tiOnal Greenbackers and the Greenback
Democrats, who are outside of the Ma
tional party, Of attempting to attach the
financial legislation 10 the appropriation
bills ii general legislation outside Of
those bills is not permitted. Such an
attempt, however, would be utterly
futile, as all financial amendments To
the appropriation bills would be ruled
out Of order, on the ground that it is
new legislation, and not in the interest
of economy.

THE NEGRO HEGIRA.
The Exodus of Southern COlOred
People from the South Con
tinues-Large Arrival at st.
Louis En- Route for Kansas.

ST. LOUIS. March 24.-The astonish-
ing exodus of negroes from The South
still continues, nearly every boat whlch
comes up the Mississippi bringing
them. The City of Helena brought sew
eral hundred to this city Saturday
night, most OF whom will continue their
journey at once to Kansas. The new
arrivals are of better class, and In most
cases we'll provided for the journey:
They not only have outfits OF household
furniture, but money enough TO pay
their passage and little left. Several
had brought along teams OF mules and
wagons, with the queerest odd lots OF
traps for luggage. The mules were
small, and looked as though they had
never encountered a currycomb in their
lives. They were rough in their looks,
and leisurely in their motions, and were
hitched up with harness embracing all
sorts of material. The collars were
plated with straw. They also had cows
and calves, which they were taking
along to begin stock raising with. The
City of Helena also came in about noon
with some twenty-five families on board.
The colored committee were on hand,
and took the new arrivals of to be
slowed away in various quarters. All
of these families were well enough able
to take care of themselves, and all they
required was place to stay. They will
90 on by the first boat up the Missouri.
They state that the Helena could have
brought three times as many more had
they chosen to stop. The banks OF the
river at various points were covered
with negroes seeking passage, but the
Captain had all that he cared to take:
Saturday afternoon there was general
clearing out OF the emigrants, except
these who were at the Washington
Street church, where a number are sick.
The town is rapidly filling up again,
however, and the movement now bids
fair to continue indefinitely.
