The New Orleans Times says of the
emigration of negroes from Louisiana to
Kansas:
The effects of this exodus are already
being felt; they are very serious in their
nature, and must be seriously regarded
The negroes like flock OF frightened
sheep, or drove of insane swine, are
making head first to the river, and moth
ing but the most determined efforts will
prevent the depopulaton of the upper
country. The trouble will not be con
fined TO one or two plantations, but
threatens to affect the whole State, and
the sugar region must suffer when the
cotton region is overgrown with cotton
wood trees and weeds"
The Times adds that 1.-The negroes are
the best field workers in existence and
that the State will 90 to the dogs without
them" but is unable to suggest any plan
for putting stop to the emigration and
preventing Louisiana from going to the
dogs. The negroes have taken up the
| Kansas movement with the enthusiasm
| characteristic of their race. The reports
sent back by those who have departed
tor Kansas are said to be favorable and
! some OF these reports have reached the
plantations, and added fresh impetus to
emigration. There is no climatic reason
| why the negroes should not flourish as
vigorously on the prairies of Kansas as
among the orange groves of Louisiana
| When the revolt Of the Maroons in ia
maica in 1875 had been subdued, many
of the captured negroes were transported
to Nova Scotia. Their descendants to
day-at least those descendants win,
have not intermixed with the whites
are hearty, strong, and well developed
and IS black any African. If the ne
gro can thrive in the cold climate of Nov.
Scotia there Is no reason why he SHOULD
not do equally as well in the Northwest

The Late Elections-Beaten, By Gum

The result of the election on Monday
last in the principal towns and cities of
the State has been anything but soothin 9
and comforting to the Democratic mind
The truth is, it is considerably tempest
tossed" at this particular juncture Gin
cinnati has gone Republican by at least
1000; Columbus by LOO; Cleveland by
1900; Lancaster by a small majority,
and so on from hi to breakfast" On
the causes that have led to the general
discontinue of the Democratic forces we
do not care to dwell. The present imbe
cile State administration has contributed
largely to our disastrous defeat beyond
doubt, and the apprehension of dead
lock- between the legislative and execu-
tive departments at Washington, grow
ing out of probable differences concern
ing notifications of the Federal election
laws, has not been without its influence.
We can gather but one grain of comfort
from the returns, and that is to be found
in the fact that they effectually dispose
of Mr., Richard M. Bishops pretentions
to denomination, and thoroughly wipe
out the members of his kitchen cabinet
as political factors. They are dead
ducks, dead as mutton,-dead and
damned, and it is to be hoped the lead
ership of the Democratic hosts will here
after be committed to wiser and better
and more discreet men.

a Strange People

Botel Tobago is an island in the South
Seas which has lately been visited by a
party Of United States naval officers -
They were surveying a rock east of the
South Cape of Formosa, and called at this
island. They found a curious race of
Malay stock These aborigines did not
know what money was good Tor Nor
had they ever used tobacco or rum. They
gave the officers goats and pigs for tin
pots and brass buttons, and hung around
the vessel all day in their canoes waiting
for chance to dive for something which
might be thrown overheard They wore
clouts only, ate taro and yams, and had
axes, spears, and knives made of common
iron. Their canoes were made without
nails, and were ornamented with geomet
rical lines They wore the boards of
goats and small shells as ornaments
Such is the account of these strange
people given by DR. Siegfried, in letter
read at the last meeting of the Pbiladel-
phia Academy OF Natural Sciences.

Yes. that was Of course great speech
of Garfeld's But when he described the
action of the rebels in 1861 as manly
and noble" he drew the point little too
fine. The rebellion of 1861 had not cne
feature in it that was not infamous, cow
ardly and unmanly. 1t was the act of a
son, who, treated with the greatest con-
sderation and kindness by his father,
and permitted TO rule over half of his
estate, treacherously se' ks to burn down
that fathers house and destroy the deeds
to the estate, because he is not permitted
to riotously control the whole 1t was

A Terrible Accident.
A Boy OF FOURTEEN KILLS HIS MoTHER-
THE OLD STORY

The Trenton State Gazette of Monday
has this pitiful story A dreadful acci-
dent occurred near Hamilton Square on
Saturday at noon, which resulted in the
death OF Mrs Caroline Pearson, widow of
William Lyle Pearson, and sister OF ex-
Sheriff Mount. The particulars are as
follows: Captain Edward P Mount had
been out cunning in the morning. and
on returning at noon set his gun down
against some logs in the lane, intending
to 60 out again after dinner. The family
was about to eat dinner, and Mr. Mount
Was up stairs shaving. when Eddie, the
Youngest son OF Mrs Pearson, about four
teen years OF age, seeing the gun out
doors, brought it int the house, sat down
on the lounge and beg wipingit His
mother had left the table, and sat near
the door opposite the lad and only lew
feet from him. The lad allowed the
muzzle of the gun to become lowered,
and after wiping it raised the trigger to
see if there was cap on it, when the
hammer slipped from his thumb and the
load was discharged. The contents of
the barrel struck Mrs. Pearson in the
right breast. tearing hole nearly three
stair door and shouted, Uncle Ed. have
shot mother" AS soon as Mrs Pearson
was struck she jumped from the chair
and exclaimed: "Oh, Eddie, to think
you've killed me- and hurried across the
room to the front window, reached out
her hands. placed one of them on her
breast, then to her forehead, reeled and
fell to the floor, and died in few mo-
ments, without speaking word. The
oldest son William, who went for the
doctor, was so overcome by his feelings
that he fell from his horse when near the
square, after he had delivered his mes
sage to Mr. s. NJ Hooper, who was going
that way Drs. Burwis and Robbins
viewed the body. and Coroner E. R Good,
after inquiring into the matter closely,
decided that an inquest was not necessa-
ry. The feelings of the poor boy can best
be imagined, aud the unhappy affair has
cast a gloom over the community.
