ieeman with drawn revolver was stationed az the
front entrance and another at the rear and then
tbe bouse was searched but no robbers were
found though evidences OF their recent presence
were apparent, The thieves had either es-
capped when the first alarm was sounded, or
had gone off with one bag Of booty, and left the

New York, April Ia Washington
special says: The movement OF the Freed
men from the South is assuming greater
proportions than anticipated. A national
convention of the friends Of the Freedmen
is contemplated. and several prominent
men are here TO consult with others from
various States in regard TO it. Some of the
wealthiest citizens of the country are inter-
ested in the movement. They consider it
as one not of party politics. but of religion
and humanity. and considerable money is
being raised to make the proposed conyen-
ton success. A prominent Federal Off
Ger. now residing in the South. says the
blacks have actually resolved to 60 ont in
to the Western wilderness and take their
chances of living there rather than remain
In the South, where they are deprived of all
political rights and subjected to the most
cruel prosecutions.

New York. April 3.-Yhe Times Wash
ington special SAYS. in reference to the ne
GRO exodus: Perhaps the most practical
action vet had is seen in the feeling mani
tested by the great railroad enterprises now
in progress in the West toward this labor
ing element. Jay Gould, for the Union
Pacific, has. it is reported, recently irti-
mated Il desire to employ a thousand col
ored men on favorable terms on the Utah
Central road; Huntington for the Central
and Southern Pacific roads VIII give EN-
p oyment to thousand men. and cX-:Sen&-
tor Patterson. now in the service Of the
Southern Pacific road and who will reside
! in TuscOn hereafter. has taken the matter
in hand in conjunction with the leading
colored Republicans OF his former State.
1t is believed that Arizona will be able to
find employment for several thousand of
tle,e people.
The country is well adapted to them,
and the people will be very glad to replace
the Chinese now going there with Ameri- |
can cOlOred laborers. The colored people
co and Arizona. The Indian Territory. if
open to settler. 1T, would afford available !
homes for thousands. The Atchson, To-
peka & Santa Fee Railroad has also ndi-
Gated its purpose to employ in New MeXi-
co large rec Of colored laborers. The
Pacific Railroads have agreed to carry the
colored emigrants from Omaha, who may
be going to Southern California and Ari-
iona. if they arrive in bodies at Omaha. at
Late of one cent per mile, or there
abouts. which would make the cost Of the
whole journey from the Missouri river to
Maricopa Wells-the terminus until next
wilt 4 of the Southern Pacilic-not over
$50 90.
There is decided inclination at the Cal
ifOrni. end of the trans-continental roads
to encourage immigration. and to that end
the fares are likely TO be largely reduced,
and second class accommodations largely
increased.
