Additional evidence. if any is necessary, is
furnished in our Washington dispatches con-
corning the true causes Of the negro exodus.
All the cOlOred men whose letters are quoted,
agree in saying that general bad treatment,
political and otherwise, is at the bottom of
the movement. They seek new homes IN a
land where bulldOzing is unknown, and " where
ga man gets what he earns" With this
plain,iye cry on their lips they threaten to
depart in overwhelming numbers this Fall,
and the South is either too stupid or too OBJ
stipqte to restrain them by the only means
in its poverty promising them political
equality and fair dealing.

After all, the Memphis Howard Association has

cuniary aid The funds in its treasury have been
expended the pestiIence still RACES, and the actual

A NV PubIIcaIiOD,

We have received from the press OF
J. B. Lippincott & Co, of Philadel-
phia, Pa, George McDonald's last
book, "Sir Gibbie," 1t is neatly
printed, and bound in paper; price, rs
cents.
Mr. Mcdonald is we'll know es a
fine novelist, and his last production
is considered by eminent critics to be
the best he has written.
The hero of the story is a little
gamin of London, where the tale be-
gins. Gibbie witnesses a murder, and
is so frightened that he ruAs, and
when he comes to the full posse sssion
of his senses, finds himself in the
country. It must be noticed, by the
way, that he is dumb. After many
wanderings, he happens in with a
young boy herding his sheep, and, for
his food, helps him. This shepherd
turns out finally to be famous poet
and great geniOus. Gibbie is discov-
cred TO be a baronet and the posse ssor
of large fortune. He goes to school,
and, when he comes to age, MARI ; a
girl, who is brought into the plot.
This girl is fine character, as repre-
scented by Mr.. Mcdonald. The book
is one of the most readable ones we
have ever seer, and pure, artistic
pleasure and profit may be cleaned
from its pages.

were made By Tweed 10 the order Of Benjamin
T. Fairchild. and by him endorsed to Mr.. Town
