election, the President of the Western Union
company, Mr.. Orion, had acceded to the re.
quest of Mr.. Tyner, and had gathered Ger
tain political dispatches of very damaging
character, SO far as the testimony now went,
from indianapolis, New York, Washington
and Philadelphia, and had surrendered them
to the party supposed to be concerned in
their suppression. Mr.. Orion, it has been
testified to, was firm supporter of Mr..
Hayes, and q Republican, and it was i'm
portant to the committee and the country
to know that gentlemen of his own persua-
sion had been permitted to withdraw dis
patches of political character supposed to
be harmful to his political or personal
friends. OF course, if Mr.. Tyner or any
gentleman named desired to explain the
transactions, the committee would not for a
moment exclude them; that would not bs
fair. He desired to say that the point made
by the Republican members, that the in
vestigation should be confined to the tele-
grams published in the New York Tribune,
was one-sided proposition-that it was a
partisan view of the affair. The majority
of the committee desired to investigate
Democrats and Republicans with equal JUS
tice; and even though some of our public
mon should thereby lose the confidence of
their party or the country, that circumstance
would not deter them. They did not know
that this would occur, except in so for as
already published to the world; but if any
new revelations were offered or made, the
majority would not suppress the investiga-
ton.

That rhinoceros- headed and thick skulled
Republican Senator, Window OF Minnesota,
displayed his extraordinary ignorance and
made himself unusually ridiculous in the
Senate yesterday by introducing resolution
to remove the negroes from such parts of the
South as refuse them their rights to other
parts of the country or to collect them in
reservations, Indian fashion. If this cham
pion blunderbuss had known anything at all
about the condition of the negroes in the
South Or had inquired into the actual facts
regarding them even SO stupid person as he
clearly appears to be would hardly have
made so egregious mistake as he per-
petrated yesterday. It he had looked
into the facts he would have discov-
cred that the population of Texas has in
creased enormously within the past few
years, and that Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi have been receiving steady flow
of migration during the same period. This
tide of emigration, embracing both whites and
black, has had for it's source the southeastern
States. Organized emigration societies in
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas have been
sending colored emigration agents to these
eastern States, giving glowing accounts of
the rich lands, abundant crops and high
wages prevailing in the southwestern States.
AS conseounce hundreds Of thousands of
negroes and hundreds of thousands of whites
lave Abandoned the worked out and more
barren lands along the seaboard for the rich
alluvial plains of the lower Mississippi and
Texas. A Herald correspondent says ''that
in 1875, at the very time when Senator Nor
ton was vainly trying to persuade the north
ern public that no Negroes life was safe in
Mississippi, hundreds of negro families re-
moved thither from North Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee, attracted by the rich lands
of the Yazoo Bottom, and laughing at the
ridiculous stories of murder and intimida-
ton which they knew from the reports of
their friends who had preceded them we're
false" So long as ill-informed and stupid
persons like Window refuse to investigate
the actual just SO long they will make
idiots of themselves on the floor of Congress-
A trip through the South had a salutary effect
on Hayes; possibly it would be money in the
peoples pocket if a law was passed appro-
priating enoughcash to give all the Repub-
lican members Of Congress a free trip through
the South. They might thus learn by per-
sonai observation what most of them appear
to be too lazy OF too stupid to find out.
