THE STATE FAIR.


The twenty-sixth general exhibition
of the Wisconsin State Agricultural
Society will be held at Madison on the
8th, 9th, 10th, 18th and 18th days of
September. The executive board Of
fers increased liberal premiums in
each department, and have largely
added to the number of articles for
which premiums are offered in several
of the classes. Several special premi-
ums have also been offered by others
than the Society. The grounds of the
Society are in excellent condition, new
buildings are being erected and all put
in the best possible state of repair
Exhibitors and visitors in each depart
ment will find ample accommodations
and officers in attendance will give all
information desired. The Wisconsin
State Agricultural Society has for its
object the advancement of agriculture,
horticulture, and the mechanical and
household arts, and believing that it's
annual exhibitions constitute one of
the most practicable mediums by
which this advancement can be made,
invites all to take an interest in these
exhibitions. The annual address will
be delivered by Col. w. f. Villas, of
Madison, gentleman OF rare ability
and capable of delivering an entertain
ing and instructive address. The Lud-
ington Guards, of Menomonie,a cavalry
company, will encamp upon the
Fair Grounds during the Fair and pa
rade each day. We should be pleased
to see a delegation from the st. Croix
Valley take in the State Fair and other
attractions of our beautiful capital
city. A little judicious cooperation
in chartering cars would reduce the
expense of the trip to a nominal sum
and we feel assured that all who should
take it would be entirely satisfied with
the undertaking. The excursion or
ganized at Baldwin by Mr.. Borchsenius
to attend the last State Fair was COM
plete success, and why should not "his
tory repeat ITSELF in this as in other
Let some one who has lit
tie time to spare and is possessed of q
degree of executive ability
plan an excursion and then execute
his plans.

THE CoLORED EXODUS.


hhpoEShhS SohAcEclCo ht Sbs Aoulss
ST. LOUIS, May l2.-An informal con-
ference was held here to-day by several
gentlemen whose names are suppressed
for obvious reasons, to consider the mat
ters relating to the negro exodus from the
South and see II more efficient aid cannot
be rendered the immigrants than has yet
been done.
Gen. Conway, OF whom mention was
maoe in these dispatches last night, was
a leading spirit in the conference, and
while he says matters are not in proper
shape yet for the public, from a conversa-
ton with him, it was gathered that a
part OF the project is that II steamboats,,
plying on the lower rivers, continue to re-
fuse 70 transport refugees, he and his as.
sociates will charter steamer, arm her, II
necessary, 60 down the river and bring
up those who are now waiting on Its
banks.
He says there are 200 at Vidalia, 800 at
Buttonwood Bayou, 500 at Bass Bayou,
500 at Bonout, 800 at New Carthage and
large numbers at other points who have
repeatedly hailed boats which would not
stop. Two members OF the Society ol
Friends who have been here with General
Conway left to-day for the South to ascer.
tain personally to what extent these emf.
grants have been denied transportation
and II they find the statements which
have been made true they will aid iu
bringing suits against the steamboat com
panies for. damages to these people under
the laws governing common carriers,
Mr.. Conway takes the ground that these
negroes are citizens and have the same
right to emigrate as other citizens II they
pay their way, and II steamboat companies
will not transport them other means will
be used TO bring them away.
Another conference will be held in {
day or two, when something definite will
be determined on.
The Colored Refugee Relief Board helt
meeting to-day, and adopted resolutions
favoring the sending Of boats down thI
river to bring up the refugees who havC
been refused transportation, and institu
ting suits against the steamboat companie
for damages. Also, endorsing Genera
Conway's plans and propositions for aidinj
the refugees here and forwarding them Il
places In the North and West wher,
homes can be found for them.
