chiefly made up of loafers and hoodlums,
and Grant treated them coolly,
Gov. Emery made a short speech, to
which the General briefly replied. He said
he hurt his back few hours before, and
was in great pain, he therefore wished to
be let alone. The crowd rushed on him,
and for the twenty minutes that the train
was at the depot put him through the

The State Esebf.
[Moreilouse Clarion.1

Some of our reputation friends
charge us with inconsistency in oppos-
ing the majority report Of the State
Debt Committee. We do not remember
of ever having written a line in favor
of reputation. On the contrary, we
have always been opposed to such a
policy. We believe that States as well
as individuals should pay what they
honestly owe, if they can possibly do
so. For the benefit of those who think
we have "tiopped" We publish the fol-
lowing article, which appeased in our
issue of March 81, 1879:
The Clarion is fately, firmly and
solidly opposed to the reputation of a
single dollar of the honest Indebtedness
of the State, and all members of the
Constitutional Convention to assemble
in New Orleans on April Fl who are not
of the same way Of thinking regarding
the question Of reputation are not
honest, and will refuse to pay their
private debts, no matter how Just they
may be, if there is any possible way by
which they can swindle their creditors.
But we are in favor of forcing the
holders of all just and valid State bonds,
it c0mpulsion should become necessary,
to accept a lower rate of interest than
that which the State now pays.u
We are ready to admit that we were
too harsh in our expressions in the
above article, for there are no doubt
supporters of State reputation who
are above reproach in their dealings
with their felloW-men; but we merely
wish to show our reputation friends
that their charge against us of incon-
sisteDcy is without foundation.

A Wise Step.

We hear that the cOiored population
in Opelousas and the vicinity have
wisely determined to send three Oh four
of their most reliable men to Kansas to
examine into the merits Of that blssful
Canaan. They wish to be assured by
rjr0 roce evidence that the cottages are
as charming, and the pigs as tat as
their pictorial representations. They
want to know the quantity and quality
Of the land which the patclnal govern
ment will allow its wards and whether
tLe atmosDhere of social and political
equality is as serene as 1t has been rc-
presented. This is acting with more
forethought than most OF their race i'll
Louisiana. and if these delegates happen
to fall in with honest people, they will
bring back correct report.
But that is Il questionable thing.
Those who are interested III moving the
colored people from the South, will give
a different reception to men who come
intelligently to sec for themselves, and
who would probably bring some nlop-
erty to the country, from the one they
accorded the poor helpless paupers
thrown upon the faith of their promises.
We would advise our colored friends
70 examine into tile condition OF the
emgrants who have already been some
months in Kansas. Many Of the colored
neonle here are in comfortable circum~
stances, and some own good deal OF
propertv. 1t would not be wise to sell
out at sacrifice, without certainty of
bettering themselves, and we can assure
them they will not do thut whatever
hore may be held out to them.
OF course no advice will be taken by
them. To blindly follow out an idea is
characteristic Of the race, and the pres
ent idea is Il magnificent one-=0n paper
We see that in Mississippi and some
parts of Louisiana, the planters who
have lost their hands are fast filling up
the vacancies with white labor, and do
not seem to regret the loss Of the col
ored population. In fact seem to con-
slider it special dispensaticn of Proyi-
dence to deyelope the grand resources
of a country by skilled labor, Which
would never have been done under the
old careless, shiftless regime.
For all that, there will be some trouJle
for the first few years, though the ulti-
mate good is sure to come when the
whole system of labor is reyolutionized.
There will be 10 holding on to super
tiuous acres as is the case now. Men
will own less land, and what they have
will be more productive. There viii
not be that perpetual drain upon their
resources when one laborer brings a
helpless or worthless family to be sup
ported and expects it as a right. We
hase frequently seen one man working
in crop with eight OF ten children and
old people dependent upon him, or
rather the planter he works for. All |
this is not money making for the agri-
culturist, so he remains poor man.
We arc pleased to see, however, that |
our colored frieDds in st. Landry will |
look before they leap. There are soane
here we will miss when they do go, and |
for their own sakes we are glad that /
they are showing some forethougllt and
Judgment in the matter. It they could |
go late in the fall, however, and get a
slight taste of Kansas winter it would |
be better for them.

crops will be rather small, and both

added to the indifference shown by
growers in the care and cultivation Of
their grounds, render early prospects
