The following article on this subject which
we copy from the New Orleans Times, is
very interesting, aud speaks volumes, for
it is no doubt a candid and faithful repre-
sentation of the case without exaggeration,
and most likely has been written without
q purpose even to tell the whole truth re-
lating to the extent of the impending
exodus. However, he that as it may, 10 is
a very interesting article, and we commend
it to the perusal and study of our readers
The sensation Of the day Is, Of course, the
stampede of the negroes from the cotton re-
gion of the State. The effects of this exodus
are already being felt; they are very serious
in their nature, and must be seriously re-
garded.
II Is no use for journals in this city to cry
poppy cock " and CANNON" Would 10
were The negroes, like n flock Of frightened
sheep, or drove of insane swine, are making
head'frst to the river and nothing but the
most determined efforts will prevent the de-
population Of the upper country.
The causes Of this fright have already been
described, and, when the character of the ne.
gro Is considered these causes appear suf-
ficiently reasonable. An additional Incentive
to action on their part come from the favorable
report made of the prospects Of the negroes
who have already left for Kansas.
IL is well shown that the coored churches In
ST. Louis have banded together and are fur
nishing the needed assistance. In this work
the local committees are aided by the Anti.
Slavery Society of New York This society
has already sent large amount of money and
supplies of clothing 10 st. Louis TO be distrib.
uted among the negroes who arrive there.
| The result Is that the negroes are well re-
ceived, clothed. and sent on their way rejoic
| ing toward Kansas What is more. there Is q
lawyer in this CITY who intends to 90 shortly
| to Kansas to attend to the settlement of the
| legal status of the negroes in that country
| The negroes know of these things, and
therefore the publication thereof will not act
as an extra inducement 10 them, as some per-
sons seem to think. They would be published
however, were this not true the object of the
publication being to open the ewes of tho peo.
pie of this State, and show them what is about
to happen.
| The trouble will not be confined TO one or
two plantations, but threatens to effect the
whole State. and the sugar region must suffer
when the cotton region is oyergrown with cot.

Not a week ago came an extensive planter
TO this CITY to arrange for advances on his COM
ing crop. He made satisfactory arrangements
and was on the point of returning homo when
there arrived telegram telling him his hands
had left. In consequence his arrangements
had to be Cancelled and he is ruined man.
Every day the same scene is enacted in this
city. The cotton planter wishes advances: the

THE CoLoRED EXODUS.

When Senator WINDOWS proposition to
relieve the colored people of the South from
their expressions on account of race, color
and political opinion, by providing a way
under which they might emigrate to the
Western States and there find peace, quiet,
and some encouragement in working out
the destiny of their race was first submitted,
the project was pooh-poohed and rdiculed
by the South. A few months only have
transpired, and before any organization for
aid has been accomplished the colored peo-
pie of many of the Southern States, especially
of Mississippi and Louisiana, have taken
the matter into their own hands,
and on their own motion and re-
sources, are leaving there in such num-
bers as indicate that they are in dead earnest
in the work of emigration, so much so that
the planters are showing signs of alarm

NEARLY every measure that is or has
been attached to an appropriation bill which
involves new legislation is loaded there for
the reason that it is unmertorious or weak,
or so pernicious that it cannot succeed on
its own merits. 1t either involves some
questionable Job, some scheme of plunder,
is some measure of i'll advantage, or wrong,
or perfdy, that would not stand the scrutiny
of justice, and hence, MS sort of snap-judg-
ment, is pulled through to a law rather
than that the appropriation shall fail. 1t is
about time this system of fraudulent, free
booting footpadsm in legislation, which is
substantially your money or your life,
should be abandoned as unjust, un-Ameri-
can, and unbecoming Government which
seeks justice and wisdom in its laws and its
administration.

Ex-sEcRETARY RoBEsoN's speech in the
House yesterday was q ringing and con-
elusive defense of the past policy of the Re-
publican party. While he did not 20 into
details, as it were, what he did say relating
to the bayonet law, as it is called, served to
put the Opposition on the defensive, for it
does not yet appear that a single citizen Of
the United States has ever been prevented
by the troops from casting his vote in q
legal manner, while it does appear that hun
dreds and thousands have been so prevented
by the thoroughly disciplined, ofiicered, and
equipped Rife Clubs of the South.

IT should not be forgotten that the Bour-
bon organization of the present House was
effected by the most disreputable agencies.
In the first place, Clerk ADAMS stultifed
himself by giving Mr.. BIsBEE's seat from
the second Florida district to Mr.. HULL,
the title of the former thereto being exactly
of the kind that ADAMS had previously
recognized in a similar case of contest; and,
in the second place, the appearance of AL
derman O'REILLY, of Brooklyn, Union
deserter, was required in addition to the
illegal seating of HULL to make up the
necessary number of quorum of Demo-
Gratis.

THE New York Tribune intimates that
the Brazilian steamship mail appropriation
failed for the reason that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company had been subsidized
through the most bare-faced agencies of
corruption. This may be one cause Of the
defeat of the ROACH measure, but that was
not as fatal to il as the patent fact that it
had enlisted in its cause combination Of
plunderen, who were inCubating nest of
foul eggs and it became necessary to smash
the whole nest in the public interest, and

THE Democratic idea of fixing upon three
o'clock this p. m. as the hour when vote
shall be taken on the army bill in the House
was prompted by necessity which existed
when that order was made of notifying alb
sentees to return. 1t is known that the
vote will not be taken to-day unless it shall
appear from the roll-ealls that all the faith
ful-meaning the Bourbons-are in their
seats. There have been several occasions
within the past few days when, if a vote had
been forced, the Democrats would have been
unable to muster sufficient strength to pass
the bill.

Mr.. HURD of Ohio, made q speech in the
House on Tuesday last, which was ac-
knOwledged to be one Of the best, clearest,
and most effective presentations of the
Democratic side of the pending controversy.
But it appears that, cautious as he was, and
careful to conceal the real design of the
Democracy in this contest-which is moth
ing more nor less than desire to overthrow
all the forms Of government and seize upon
the administration Of affairs in the interest
of Bourbonsm-he exposed the ultimate
conclusion Of the conspiracy in the follow
ing very significant language;
Mr.. Chairman, / do not believe the majority
Of this House will be intimidated from their
duty by the threat Of any President [applausel
much less the threat of a President whose
title to Office Is so doubtful, and whose tenure
OF Office is as yet so uncertain.
No words at the prolific command of the
speaker could have been used to convey
clearer idea Of the real meaning of thisnew
Democratic rebellion, nor could Mr. HURD,
if he had tried, succeeded in making more
distinct threat against the Executive, than
is conveyed in the concluding phrase of this
quotation from his speech In short, this
accidental exposure shows exactly how far
the Bourbons are ready to so in their attempt
to destroy the barriers against fraud at the
ballot-box, which stand between them and
victory in 1850, They will first attempt to
force a repeal of the election laws by meth
ods Of legislative bull-dozing and the per-
version Of constitutional power vested in

ONE of the strangest features of the pend
ing debate in the House is the ignorance of
Northern Republicans who are engaged in
it regarding the details Of the prosecutions
to which their Southern copartisans have
been subjected since the war. A careful
reading of the reports of the Ku Klux
and other investigations into the
Southern outrage business would fur
nish them with pertinent material
with which to answer some of the i'm
pertinent boasts and unblushing misstate-
ments Of the majority regarding Southern
affairs. The fact that this ignorance exists
is not at all creditable to them, for it shows
their utter and selfish disregard of these
murderous prosecutions at the time they
were being investigated, and that their in
terest in the welfare of their copartisans in
the South has only now been awakened ai-
ter that disregard has had its legitimate eff
feet of wiping the Republican party out Of
existence in that section Of the country.
