Russia Occupies Merv and Will
Move Upon Herat.
Afghan.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-A telegram from Pesh-
awur announces that the Russians have oc-
cupied Merv after desperate battle. This
advance and victory renders the ultimate
occupation of Herat by the Russian col
umn only question of little time. The
latter place is only about $50 miles south
down the banks of the Murgab. The Eng
lish army in Afghan is not in a
position to move forward to make
any demonstrations of resistance to the ap-
preaching Russian column. The news of
the occupation of Merv is regarded with
much anxiety and CONSERVATION at the
Foreign Office. Severe comment is made
in outside circles upon alleged stupidity of
Government in not having long ago pressed
on to Herat. which was known to be the
true key to the position.
Notwithstanding her protestations that
she had no designs upon Afghan, her pres
ent advance shows her purpose to garrison
the frontier without delay. With Russia at
Herat and England at Cabul, under the
necessity of warning ON her ancient ene-

tween the two powers can not be much

result in the near future

STRANGE INTEREST IN THE NE
GROES.

Twenty years ago the Tall Sycamore of
the Wabash, Dan Voorhees,, would have
as much expected to find himself in the
moon as engaged in an inquiry as to why
the negroes are forsaking the South, after
slavery has been abolished. So would
George II. Pendleton, whose record dur
ing the war will never be forgotten.
There is something inexpressibly funny
about the position in which the resolution
of Senator Noorhees, calling for commit
tee of investigation, places these men.
They are to devote their ponderous intel
lects to consideration of the condition
of theInegro, withlwhom they do not pre-
tend to have the sympathy which comes
from the recognition of man and
brother beneath the dusky skin. OF
course, the three Democrats of the COM
mittee will endeavor to show that color
cd people have been enticed from the
South by Republicans for political pur-
poses, and that they have not been driven
out by the wrongs they have suffered at
the hands of the whites of the South.
But, whatever report the majority make
they will not be able to check the move
ment which from the first the enemies of
the negro have belittled and attempted
to crush. Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas,
;ays he has talked with many of the 1000
colored immigrants his State has received
within year, and their testimony is in
variably to the effect that political intol-
erance, land monopoly, avicious system
of credits, and inequality Of blacks and
whites before the law are the causes of
the exodus. While these causes remain,
the exodus will continue. The strange
interest of Messrs Voorhees, and Pendle-
ton in the condition of the negro will not
change the result. In spite of their ludi-
crous errand. the black tide will roll on
toward the North. Last Spring, such
men as Voorhees, and Pendleton said
there was no exodus; now they begin to
say there is no just cause for an exodus;
but nevertheless the colored people con-
tinue to seek homes where they can find
the best beginning for the great future
that surely lies before their race.

The South requires only to be fully IN

we can prove these facts only by our ac-

up in Congress. \ proper occasion for
such reassuring action is now presented
rs it seems to me. and the South should
put itself promptly and emphatically on
record in support of settled financial
policy, settled currency and a settled
country.
This is as clear as a bell 1t is good
sense. 1t shows that the South must in
evitably avail itself of Republican short
sightedness. Isn't it time that the intel

the pcrils of the situation and poured in
