THE MIGRATING Negroes.

=. Our nerthern friends are still paln1uiiy
acitated about the migrating negroes. lhey

the "cruel southern people," THAT'S "nacs
the matter. They have stceled their hearts
to all the appeals of humanity beyond That
southern cruelty; for that the nav OF their
revenge has an unlimited capacity. Inc
.suferinyS of the negro find 20 response
from their CHARITY; the cruel South abb
serbs all their attention. The only thing TO
be doneis TO punish the South. That de-
svotedregion is TO be punished by return
ing the negro upon it to be by it supported,

hearted North, and by no means be pressed

the work Of one negro man! Most ASST
Tediy not!
The story they now tell is that JAY GOULD
wants thousand negroes to work on the
Union Pacific railway, and that HUNTING
TON wants another thousand to work upon
the Southern citicmonopoy. "Well, and

Dave they not been found, and has not
the country survived? What is the mat
ter.now that these thousands cannot be
had save by running the South? All! it is
that "the wish is father to the thought"
The unfeeling and preiudiced northern pa

South and to rejoice in any apparent injury
7Aat comes to the South, are making a

The bruited excitement and flight of ne
sroes Is all nonsense. The seasons IN the
South will go their rounds and the
crops will be cultivated. There may be
soule warigtion--a little more or little
Less of this or that crop; but there will
be a plenty, we doubt not. The South
will get along. The negro Is better of there
titan anywhere else, and though we are not
sure that we are really reioiced that it is so,
we know that 1t is, and we also know that
p. the Negro Is aware 1T bis advantages in the
South, and we know that no people In the
land wsuld treat the negro so kindly and
so literally as does the South. Further.
