mg interview with Colonel Rich
ardson, of Mississippi, Which The
World publishes to-day gives the
clearost, most straightforward and
most credible account which has
yet been printed Of the migra-
ton of the negroes from the South

that to the negroes themselves this
migration is really in the nature Of
M exodus, and that they Seem to

Fruitless Soiicitude.

Republican newspapers are ex-
hibiting just now a prayeltnl solic-
itudc respecting a possible division
in the Democratic party on the
money question. They are zeal
ously striving to convince Demo-
Gratis that an uncolnpromlslng
warfare should be rPised between
the Grccnback" and the "hard
money" men Of the party. The
gratnitous concern thus cvinced
by tho Republican press is fully
appreciated and properly receive |
by Democrats everywhere. 1t
hardly need be said, however,
that the solic.udc Of the lScpub
Leans will not produce the result
which they crave. The Demo.
Gratis have no idea Of getting into
broil among themselves on the
money question They have
much else chat is better TO do
than that So far ~ tha money
question is now concerned, they
have concluded to be all Screen
hackers" and I'LL "hard money
ties, so long rs the more import
ant questions, relating ~ the
supremacy Of civil law, the free
dom of the elective franchise, and
the Federal government ana the
States, remain unsettled. These
questions, which are vital to the
existence of good government in
this country, can never be settled,
until the arbitrary and partisan
legislation, which, for war pur-
poses was fixed upon the statute
books by the Republican party,
shall be repealed and be buried
out OF sight forever. Upon these
questions, Democratic statesmen
and the Democratic IN isscs are
everywhere united, and will pre-
sent next year n solid front to the
foe. On financial issues, the Re
PUBLICAN party, also, is fan from
being II unit, and, yet, the Rrmlb
licnn press never for u moment
suggests that the Republicans
shall engage in strife among
themselves on account Of their
difference The Democrats clear
ly apprchend the situation and
fully understand their duty alike
to themselves ana 10 the country.
The solici,ldc of the Republican
press will, therefore, eXpend itself
in vain. Tho great baltic Of
1880 will he fought by the Dcmo-
cratic party under one flag and
one loader, pledged to u common
cause.

President Hayes still continues to
veto. On Monday lie vetoed the jud-
icial appropriation bill. 1t is a
sin of omission the Democrats
are guilty of this time. They omit
ted an appropriation for the pay
ment Of general or special deputy
marshals for services in connection
with elections; which is the why
and the wherefore of Hayes veto.

One device used To encourage the
negro exodus is to distribute among
the negroes, who are unable TO read,
pictures representing Kansas life
and manners. One little Iitho-
graph has the cut OF n neat cottage,
In the gallery outside sits I'M old
negro, with his feet cooked up,
plenty of teeth showing as ne
smokes n cigar, while looking in ut
the open door negro girl is seen
playing Mt the piano, and u gay
looking white hcnu turns the leaves
for her. This il actually given rs
picture of Kansas life, and the
eolorcd people believe that the
Government or God or somebody is
TO provide just such homes for
them. A later notion are little
flags, barely bigger than the palm
of your hand. These are supposed
TO be i'll the nature Of passports,
and the negroes think TINT with
these they can pass anywhere with
out money and without price.
Somebody has told them SO and

sxrd rumors and the Widest asscr-

LEGISLATURE.
TRENTON. August 20. 1870
Politics very duh in New Jersey this year in
consequence Of there being vacancies for the
Offices Of Governor and Congressman. The regular
annual State election will take place on Tuesday.
November 4, when there will be chosen six new
Senators to represent the counties of Burlington.
Cape May, Hunterdon. Middlesex. Passaic and Sus-
sex; also sixty members Of the House of Assembly.
Some Of the counties will elect county clerks
and surrogates besides. but beyond these
there will be no other offices filed. Four
out Of the six counties above mentioned
were represented In the late Legislature by demo-
cratic Senators. viz. Burlington. Hunterdon Mid
dlesex and Sussex; the other two Cape May and
Passaic, by republicans. There will be lively fight
in these counties for the choice OF Senator'S whose
terms are for three years each because every vote
counts on joint ballot next year when u successor

As the terms Of the members or the General
Assembly expire every year the election will not
have much political significance this year In far
as that body is concerned. The rival railroad COM
panies-the Pennsylvania on the one side and the
New Jersey Central on the other-each will devote
its attention to securing control Of the Assembly, in
order to have Legislation enacted in favor of the
which may be successful. Railroad interests, not
politics. will engross the time OF the next Legisa
ehre and. consequently. lively times and liberal
outlay OF money are anticipated both ut the coming
election and at the session OF that body.
