THE NEGRO EXODUS.

Schemes for Aiding the Refugees-Mo
ment to Send Steamers Down the Mis-
sissippi.
ST. LOUIS, May 13.-A conference was held
here on Monday by several gentlemen to con-
slider matters relating to the negro exodus
from the South, and see if more efficient aid
cannot be rendered the emigrants than has vet
been done. Gen. Conway was in the con-
ference, and while he says matters are not in
proper shape yet for publication, from a con-
versation with him it was gathered that part
OF the project is that if steamboats, plying on
the lower river continue to refuse to tranSport
refugees he and his associates will charter a
steamer, arm her, if necessary, go down the
river and bring up those now waiting on its
banks He says there are 200 at Vidalia, 300
at Buttonwood Bayou, 800 at Bass Bayou, $50
at Bonant, 800 at New Carthage, and large
numbers at other points, who have repeatedly
hailed boats, which would not stop. Two
members of the Society of Friends, who have
been here with Gen. Conway left to-day for
the South to ascertain personally to what ex-
tent these emigrants are denied TRANSPORTATION.
and if they find the statements made are true
they will assist in bringing suits against the
steamboat companies for damages to these
people under the laws governing common car
riers Gen. Conway takes the ground that
these negroes are citizens, and have the same
right to emlgrate as other citizens if thew nav
their way, and If the steamboat companies viii
not transport them, other means will be used
to bring them away. Another conference will
be held soon, whenJsomething definite will be
determined upon.
The Colored Refugees Relief Board last
night adopted resolutions favoring sending
steamers down the river to bring up the
refugees who have been refused transportation
and instituting suits against the steamboat
companies for damages, also indorsing Gen.
Conway's plans and propositions for aiding
refugees here and forwarding them to places
IN the North and West where homes and labor
can be found for them.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Indians Entitled to a Writ of Habeas
Corpus.

Indians Entitled to a Writ of Habeas
Corpus.
OMAHA, May 13.-Some weeks ago, HI, Tib-
bles, assistant editor of the Omaha Herald,
engaged counsel to sue out a habeas corpus
writ to release Standing Bear and party, who
were being returned to Indian Territory by a
military force, having fled from sickness which
was rapidly DISCRIMINATING the tribe. Webster
q Poppleton argued the case for the Indians
without fee. Judge Dundy of the United
States Court gave decision ON Monday The
points decided are:
First-That an Indian is a person within the
meaning of the laws of the United States, and
has therefore the right to sue out a. writ of
habeas corpus in Federal Court and before
Federal Judge in all cases where he NAV be
confined or in custody under color of the au-
thority OF the United States, or where he is re-
strained OF liberty in violation of the Constitu-
ton or laws.
Second-That Gen. Crook, the respondent,
being commander of the military department
OF the Platte, has custody of the REALTORS under
color of the authority of the United States and
in violation of the laws thereof.
Third-That no right or authority exists for
removing by force any of these Poncas to
Indian Territory as Gen. Crook has been di-
rected to do.
Fourth-lndians possess the right of expatri-
alton as well as the more fortunate white race,
and have the inalienable right to life, liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness SO long as they
ground
Fifth-Being restrained of liberty under
color of the authority of the United States and
In violation OF the laws thereof, the REALTORS
must be discharged from custody, and it is so
ordered

AID speaks in commentator
The Sun wants the Democrats to show some
gu o. the courage Of the Republicans and says:
S pne tnmg is certain, a party destitute alike of
backbone and political sense can never elect q
President of the United States.
The Times says the veto does more than
Illustrate partisan scheme. 1t asserts one Of
the fundamental principles of the government
at time when its legitimate power is system
atically assailed. '
The Tribune says the veto goes to the root of
the matter and will be heartily sustained by
the loyal North. The President has made Il
plain to the whole country that he will not
abuse his power as Commander-in-chief of the
army, nor employ that power for political
ends. But he now serves fair warming upon
the reyolutionists in Congress that he means to
use all his power to enforce the laws, and it is
fortunate Tor the country that his veto stands
as an lmpregnable barrier in the WV of their
schemes. ~ u 'iieii

DR.. Newman's Accession to the Cardi-
nalate.
LONDON, May 13-Rev DIR. Newman, in
replying to the consistorial messenger announc-
ing his elevation to the Cardinalate, made a
long speech, the gist of which was that he
would hereafter, as he had in the past, resist
with al his powers the spirit of liberalism in
religion the doctrine that there is no positive
truth in religion, that one creed is as good as
another, and that this is the teaching which is
gaining substance and force daily. 1t is in
consistent with the recognition of any religion
as true, and while there is much in the theory
that is good and noble in ITSELF it is evil
because intended to supersede religion. He
said he was not afraid it would seriously iniure
the church OF Christ, though it would destroy
many souls. Christianity he said, had been
TOO often, seemingly, in deadly peril that we
should fear for it any new trial.

STEAM MAIL LINES. "
Address by Senator Blaine Before the
New York Chamber of Commerce.

~A~A0h Ooo Wy OOadIOr bldlu0 BEFORE the
New York Chamber Of Commerce.
New YORK, May bat the 111th annual
banquet of the New York Chamber of Com
merce tonight, Senator Blaine was received
with the utmost enthusiasm. In responding
to toast, Steam Mail Lines" he made a
comparison of the progress of the principal
nations of Europe for 20 years with those of
the United States for the same period. This
mighty increase of commerce from over
100000 to 100000 tonnage has been
at the expense of the United States.
One hundred and ten million of gold coin has
gone out of the country in year. If the car
rylng trade of this country is properly regula-
ted, this immense sum can be turned toward
benefitting the paupers of this country. He
belonged to state once as important as New
York state commercially, but the era of sailing
vessels had gone by and trade between New
York and Europe was done in foreign steam
ers. Ii New York would throw itself with it's
whole soul into this subject, the question of
American shipping would be solved He be-
heved it was not necessary to have free trade
in Ships because he believed we could build
ships as cheaply and as well as can Europe.
and he did not believe in taking labor out of
this country. He believed that this country
would become the centre of the commercial in.
terests of the globe, and that New York was
destined to be what London had dreamed of
belng-the greatest commercial city of the
globe.
