THE M IsPLACED PHILANTHROPY OF
NEGROPHILIsTs.

The telegraph informs us that "a meeting
was held yesterday In Philadelphia to pro-
mote colored emigration from the South: the
names Of several leading citizens appear as
indorsers Of the project" The telegraph has
been informing us with considerable regular
ity almost every day for the past two weeks
of similar meetings being held In Boston,
New York, Chicagopand other Northern cities
There Is something remarkable in tho sym
pathy which these mistaken philanthropists
Of the North have manifested toward this
movement. But the funds they have given
do not seem to be donations inspired by a
feeling Of charity toward "the unfortunate
negroes who are leaving Louisiana. and Mis-
sissippi for Kansas" They seem rather to
be given to appease that internal and eternal
sentiment Of hatred toward the white land
owners Of our section which GMells In the
breasts of thousands of Northern fanatics
This class have not been satisfied with all the
yindictivs persecution visited on the Southern
people since the war, but would do them fur
Their injury now, since they show some signs
of return to prosperity, by enticing the
Iaboring population from their fields.
If the absolute depopulation Of the richest
part OF the cotton region could be effected, il
| Is to be doubted whether these false philan
thropists would not willingly undertake thu
task without regard to the reactionar!
damages to themselves and their cities result

There are now only sixteen States with
boards OF health and quarantine laws. The
State Board oil Health OF Georgia has just
died OF a lack Of funds. It was inaugurated
All 1875 and supplied ut that time with small
amount OF money. Since then 1t has not been
voted cent. An attempt was made to abol-
aIBh II at the last session Of the Legislature,
but this was not done, out of Difference to the
petition OF the State medical societies. Al
Enough refusing to abolish the board by q
specal act, tho Legislature did practically
zklN sitme thing by Its refusal to make any ap-
s8s a.siiations for Its benefit.

the right of debate, to persons who are not
members, Ii just as clearly established.
This authority has never been questioned
since the admission of territorial delegates
with such privileges. It can undoubtedly
grant similar privileges to the heads of de-
partments, and can make 1t obligatory on
them to attend all sessions, by virtue OF It's
authority to create or abolish their offices.
and to prescribe their functions. All that Mr..
Pendleton has proposed La clearly within the
limits Of the Federal constitution.
It now remains only to consider the expe-
diency OF the proposed change. The obiec-
ton urged to the bill, that 1t tends to break
down the barriers erected by the founders Of
the government for the express purpose Of
keeping separate the functions and RESPONSE
bilities OF the Legislative and executive de-
partments, has been shown to be without
force. The relations between these depart
ments may subsist without embarrassment
to either. The heads of departments are in
constant intercourse with the committees OF
Congress and they must, by the very nature
Of things, exercise powerful influence over
Legislation. AS we understand 1t, and as Mr..
Pendleton has explained 1t, tho sole purpose
Of his proposed innovation Is to SO regulate
this intercourse and the exercise OF this In
fiuence az to make them open and above
board, and at the same time to afford Con-
gress fuller information In regard to the
doings OF the departments and the measures
LII which they are concerned. Under the
existing arrangement, whenever secretary
desires to influence Legislation he procures q
resolution asking for information already
carefully prepared. or else the secretary goes
upon the floor and resorts to the confidential
arts of the lobbyist, posting bis friends and
partisans, and thus placing his opponents
who have no opportunity for cross examina'
tlon at q great disadvantages. All that Mr.
Pendleton proposes to do is to correct this
and, since the members Of the Cabinet must
necessarily exercise certain influence or
legislation, toreguirett to be exercised openly
and In manner which will apprise the coun
try 81 the merits Of their schemes. There IL
nothing In this to disturb the proper relations
of the coordinate estates of government.

zeal and earnestness These damages 1nvolve
loss to the people Of large part 81 the
revenues from the foremost export product OF
the country, d partial paralysis OF one OF the
largest manufacturing interests oil the Nofth
and the ruin of an immensely rich trade III
provisions and agricultural machinery now
enjoyed by the Western cities.
Apart from the endeavors OF the instgatofs
OF this movement being violattve OIL every
principle Of political economy II DISTURBING
the industrial systems of our country, they
will ultimately result most disastrously to
the race instead OF redounding to Its benefit
They would place the colored emigrant In
direct competition with q sturdy race OF
Western yeomen, where the latter have every
advantage In situation and other favorable
circumstances, while the former race, most
disadvantageously placed on account OF eli
mate, and entering upon new modes OF labor,
would surely fail and be reduced to a state Of
utter restitution.
| The fact that they are driving these col
ored men to their ultimate ruin must be APP
parent to the great majority OF those who
further this emigration movement simply for
the sake of manufacturing political capital
for their party. When their ends will have
been accomplished they will turn away from
the deluded creatures with that characters
tie Indifference they have always manifested
when 1t was found that they could serve
their purposes no longer However, 1t Is
/ likely that the blind fanatielsm OF the negro
philists of the North will continue to instigate
them to incite and stimulate the exodus, for
they never will abandon the work on which
they have so zealously entered as long as
they find they can employ 1t as means OF
injury to the Southern States.
While the telegraph told us yesterday OF q

THE TIMES AND THE BONDHOLDERs

The Times yesterday, In an Extensively ar
rogant article, declared that the bondholders
did not intend TO take any notice Of the very
proper, conciliatory and polite invitation OF
Capt. Kidd, chairman OF the Committee on
the State Debt, to present to that committee
propositions relative to the adjustment Of the
debt The Times says:
We have yet to hear or their offering or pro-
posing to offer n proposition OF any sort what
ever. or to consider proposition made TO them
from another quarter looking to relinanlsh
msnt of any part Of these claims, either as re-
CARDS the principal or the interest,
When we consider the deep and painful in
terest that Is felt by the people Of Louisiana
everywhere In this matter, and the solicitude
OF their delegates In the Convention to effect
an adjustment which will give the State re-
lief and at the same time be just to the hold
ers of our bonds, this dctatorial and almost
offensive language Of the Camp street paper
is most extraordinary.
Should the bondholders really assume the
position of the Times there could be no adj
iustment, and we fear that the result would be
reckless and indiscriminate reputation
movement, and that the State would be kept
In state OF fierce agitation for gene
ration longer. But we do not be-
leve that the article In the Times represents
the views or temper OF any considerable
number of the bondholders. Indeed, 1t sounds
as II 1t had been inspired by some political
motive and not by creditors of the State
whose interests are at stake. II the object Of
the Times is to prevent an adjustment, Its
article was very skillfully written, and II that
journal had any influence In the matter 1t
might do great deal OF mischief.
The bondholders should view with more
alarm than the repudiationists the publica-
tion, III 80 authoritative manner, Of such
articles as that of the Times. Such utter
ances tend to intensity the sentiment OF oppo-
stion to the debt and to paralyze the power
Of those who are anxious and willing to effect
q Just and honorable settlement. The great
majority Of the Convention are willing that
the State shall do and pay all she can; but,
outside of the few Republicans In that body.
we doubt If there Is single delegate who will
indorse the views presented by the Times or
consent that the debt shall stand rs at pres
ent, principle and interest.
Certainly, when such reckless. unwise and
offensive utteranees as those OF the Times a n
hurled into the very teeth Of the Convention
with as much audaeity and positiveness as /
they were authorized by the creditors OF thu
State, 1t Is time that the bondholders were
organizing to present their own case and thei
own views and suggestions to the Convention
The bondholders have large rights, and they
must be considered by the Convention; bu
surely 1t will be better for them, and bette
| for the State, Ii they shall accept the couI
| fnn1a invitation of the debt Gpmmittea Au(
present their propositions and the equities 0
their case as they appear from their owl
point OF view to the Convention.
