The City Filling With COlorcd
Paupcrs.


This city is at present the OBJ
jectiye point Of vast numbers
of negroes from Southern points,
principally the plantations of
Louisiana and Mississippi. Ey-
cry north-bound boat brings up
a cargo of plantation hands and
their families, and the levee is in
points their camping ground, the
vast majority being too poor to
pay for even the meanest lodg-
ing. Some parties down South
have started the story that extra
ordinary inducements are being
offered colored people to settle in
Kansas, and that any one land
ing i'll st. Louis will be provided
by the Railroad Company with
free pass for himself and family
to Kansas, food ON the way and
a farm and money to live on
when the railroad lands are
reached. The people who have
already arrived are in a most
wretchcd condition, devoid, as
rule, of food and money and not
in the least cast down by their
misfOrtunes. -1
With the characteristic easy
going nature of the plantation
negro, they smile when asked
what they are going to do, and
aver that at any rate the author
lities here cannot throw them in
to the river, and one or two have
remarked that they would prefer
that fate to being sent back to
the homes they had just left.
Much Indignation is felt at the
steamboatmen for not checking
the folly, an d Mayor Over
Istaltz has determined to en-
join the boats from bringing
more negroes to the city, by viz
tue Of an ordinance which pro-
hibits the bringing Of paupers
into the city. The Mullanphy
Board, an institution which con-
trolls the charitable requests of
gentleman who died some years
since, to-day set aside a sum qf
money in aid of the stampeders,
but if the immigration is not at
once checked, the city will have
to provide for a small colony of
utterly helpless citizens, as these
plantation hands are perfectly
unacquainted with city ways,
and unable to make a living any
other way than by agriculture.
In the mean time the Southern
planters are doing their best to
check the movement, W h ic b
threatens to deprive them of
their means of raising this years
crop.
