from the West and South are dissatisfied
with the policy through which Secretary

SIGNIFICANT sDu.SSInS

The St. Louis Post and Dispatch, one Of
the most radical Democratic papers, when
referring to the negro exodus, in its issue OF
the 18th inst, makes the following signif-
cant admission:
No matter what mistskes may lie at the
bottom of the negro exodus from the South.
it certainly points to bad state of affairs
in the home they are leaving and to an I'M
fortunate relation between the planters and
the negroes. The great msiority of the
planters no doubt treat the negroes fairly,
but there is no getting over the fact that
the negroes are in state of dependence
which is irksome to them, ard which hiss
grown odious in proportion as it has grown
hopeless
