THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Have White Employers Any Rights
which Black Employees are Bound
to Respect the New
York Tribune Will
Answer.
To the Editor of the world.

SIR-Is it not strange that in all the DIS
cussions of the negro exodus by the public
press and in public meetings, not word has
been said of the rights and wrongs of those
In the south who employ negro laborP That
this sudden movement has resulted IN the
financial ruin of many of the latter class the
following case, among many others could
cIte will clearly show: During the month of
March Mr.. Alfred Bates, of Missouri, came
to this county, leased cotton plantation and
paid as rent therefor two thousand dollars.
The land beng fertile he readily found freed
men who contracted with him 10 work his
place on shares. But before wheel could
be turned" he had to invest twenty-five hum
dred dollars In mules, implements, forage
and provisions. HIS tenants worked cheer
fully and well up to the Grst Of May.
About that time they heard of Kan
sas, and Of sill the luxurles and bless
inGs which were there awaiting every darby,
without money and without price. On the
night of May 10th every tenant Ar. Bates
had but four moved out to the river bank ard
departed on passing boat for Kansas. He
reached the landing just il time to prevent
their taking with them Eve Of his mules. 1t
Mr.. Bates is fortunate he may save one
thousand dollars of his forty -hVe-h hundred
dollar investment. As he suffered, so have
hundreds Of others In a greater or less de-
gree. Now, these freedmen neither had nor
pretended to have any cause for breaking
their contracts with Mr.. Bates except their
conviction that Kansas was ode promised
land" | have talked with great number
of these emigrants, and not one of them COM
planned that he was going because he was
denied his rights before the law or at the
ballot-box. Negro politicians talk about the
negro being intimidated and bulldoz>d but
the feld-hand never mentions such thing,
because there Is nothing whatever IN the
conduct of the white people of this part of
Mississippi to mske him think of it. The ne
gro's right to emigrate no one here dis
putes. There never has been the slightest
opposition to those going who were not I'M
der contract to stay-contracts such as white
men the world over abide by or are de-
nounced and punished for breaking. 1t is
with men here, without regard to race, as it
Is everywhere else. Those who are sober,
industrious and frugal can keep their noses
eff the grindstone. Those who are otherwise
cannot. The credit system and his love for
whisky are the prime causes of the Negroes
poverty and discontent. l have known
negro to give twenty-five cents for pint Of
whisky, which twenty FIVE cents would have
paid for peck of meal for which he gave
seventy-five cents On credit. IL conclusion,
| will say that this unfortunate infatustion
appears to have run its course. We rarely
see a negro leaving for Kansas now. Many
are returAing. and many more are writing
back TO their friends for money to return
with. A. J. GILKEY.

from the chimney, falls upon three screens

the tank beneath, from which it IS raised.
At the entrance to the chamber there is a
large fan, by means of which the draught can
be increased to any extent. 1t is said that
this machine when used with water alone
will absorb from seventy.Gve to eighty per
cent. of the sulphuric acid, evolved by the
combustion OF coal, and with the application
of proper chemical solutions the whole of the

AN apparatus for the publication of smoke

The Louisville Courier-JOnrnaI, of Sun
day, was accompanied by supplement, ten
long columns of which were devoted to the
murders, rapes, robberies, Outrages, arsons,
seductions and other crimes committed in
OHIO during the previous week. 1t is a fear
full record, one that would seem to justify the
appellation of "hell's half-acre," which the
Courier Journal applies to the Buckeye
the Cincinnati Gazette, paper that, with all
its leanings to virtues side, is more taken up
with the mote in its neighbours eye, and can
not see the beam IN its own.

Philadelphia North American; '1'he truth
is that no stronger Democratic ticket could
have been made in OHIO than Ewirg and
Rice. The Democrats have made no MISTAKE
this time. General Ewing is man of high
personal character, fine presence, great
popularity and excellent ability as a speaker
The reason why he should not be elected gov
ernor is because he represents the Democratic
Greenback party, the party of treason, States
rights, dishonest money and injustice to col
ored citizens. General Rice is every way as
worthy as Ewing, and has the additional
commentator OF having fought long and
bravely on many bloody fields to preserve the
nations life. The considerable man will at
once realize that it will require something
more than confidence, or abuse of Ewing and
Rice, to wFN Republican victory in Ohio
this fall. General Patt, the Greenback candi-
date, will, no doubt, be Withdrawn, there
beng already every indication that no can
vass or work will be undertaken for him"

EDITORS APPEAL-I notice, in Sunday

Our correspondent is right. The children,
or rather the parents who permit their chill
dren to run at large, especially upon high
ways as thronged as Main street, are more
to blame than the car-drivers, especially
when the facts-for we presume J. S. G.
states facts-of the overworked condition of
the drivers is taken into consideration.
Children should be kept eff the streets;
at least off crowded streets, and especially
should be warned against playing about the
street cars or on the track of the street rail-
way. If parents will not do this much for
their youngsters they must not be surprised
if occasionally one or more of them are taken
home manned, crippled or dead.

The recent storm in England, as we learn
from cable dispatch to the New York Herald
of the fourteenth, has inflicted irreparable
damage upon the standing grass and grow
ing crops in the western and midland coun-
ties. At Bradford the lightning was very
vivid, the thunder loud, and the rain exceed
ingly heavy and continuous. A whirlWind
passed in the neiehborhood of Bewdley. which
was curved in the form of d letter s. The
wind that accompanied it tore up trees and
did a great amount Of damage to several
buildings. In the vicinity of Birmingham 1T
was equally disastrous. The GGzette of that
city describes it as a storm rare in that coun-
try, having all the characteristics of the
storms on our western plains. sit was first
observed by two men who we're returning in
trap to Bewdley between five and six
o'clock in the evening. As they we're gong
down a hill near the town they were startled
by seeing what appeared to be a column of
smoke or vapor travelling through the air at
terrific rate. Shortly aftervard it passed
through field at the Lakes and caught up
a cartshed having an iron roof, heavy
wooden supports and rafters, and whirled
it through the air for a distance
of some fifty or sixty yards, cutting
down four trees i'll its progress and knocking
out all the windows of house against when
it was dashed. The wind afterward cut a
hayrick asunder, bearing the upper portion
distance of over one hundred and fifty
yards. Then it went in the direction of
Dowles, stripping the branches off several
oak trees In its course and smashing all the
glass in the old Dowles turnpike house, rip
ping the roof off also. 1t forced the water
in the river to rise in huge column to the
hight of sixty feet. Passing on, it cut the
head off another hayrick, and thence moved
in the direction of Trimpley. At one portion
of the road large number of swallows were
found strewn about ne ground.''

of the Revised Statutes do not authorize off,
GERS of the United States to keep the peace
at the polls, and they cannot be nationally
construed 10. confer any authority or impose
any duty. The final objection of the Presi-
dent to the bill is that it discriminates in ia
yor of State and against the National au-
thority, by making it lawful, under some cir
cumstances, to use the army to prevent ,vlo-
lence in the conduct of State elections, and
unlawful to do so in the conduct of National
elections. Upon this point the report says
"The common sense of the country under
stands that all elections in State; whether
for members of Congress or local officers, are
by the same electors, and those electors derive
their right to vote, as was decided by the Su-
preme Court, in the case of "Mlder VS.. Hup,.
pensett, 81 Wall, 170," from the State, and
not from the United States. 1t is, therefore,
as much the power and duty of State gov
ernment to maintain peace and order at cleo
tions for Congressman as at elections tor
State officers"
In conclusion, the report sums up with the
reiterated statement that the Federal Govern
ment has not and cannot derive from Congress
any right to preserve the peace in a State,
either at polls or elsewhere, unless called up
on BY the proper State authorities, and that 1T
is difficult to see how distinct the reservation
to the President Of power to suppress lnsur,
rection against State when properly called
on, can be said to derogate from the authority
of the United States. The report closes with
the request of the committee to be discharged
from further consideration of the subject
