THE CoLoRED EXODUS.

One point in Professor LANGsTON'S address
the other evening before the Emigrant Aid
Society was presented with new light and
fresh force, and that related to the character
and value of the war emancipation of the
slave. That act, which has been abstractly
viewed in the light of philanthrophy and
personal benefit to the emancipated, was, he
contends, simply giving the slave back to
HIMSELF with no protecting, no sustaining
power. He had no home no land, no prop
erty, no resources, no education nor hope of
any, no means of advancement, but was
turned loose abstractly as his own master,
with nothing but his two hands with which
to subsist, clothe and educate himself and
those dependent upon him; and this too, in
the midst of his former owner who had be-
came soured and unhappy because he had
been divested of his chattel, and had no real
friendship for or sympathy with the emanci-
pated slave, who to him was just so much
lost property. To make progress under such
circumstances seems almost an impossi-
bility-and yet the freedman has advanced,
though slowly and not very far, on the road
Of success. He has learned that he owns
himself, and yet he enjoys but limited bene-
| fits from that fact. He tolls, but he shares
only meagre return therefor. He is told
by the Constitution that he is n citizen and
a voter, but he is bull-dozed and intimi-
dated out of his vote His chances for edu-
catiOnal advancement are all cut off, All
of which has reduced him to lower stage
of servility than that occupied when he was
owned by his master.
1t is the awakening to n sense of his
present condition, in the midst of the plan
tocracy Of the South, that has aroused the
ex-slave to desire to emigrate and now
that the fever has broken out it will con-
tinue and spread until it becomes cpl
demic. The exodus has scarcely dawned,
and nothing short of an entire reyersion of
the Southern policy can check it until it
has exhausted itself by leading the last
colored man away from the scenes of his
captivity and oppression. Where there is a
will there is way 1t may be difficult for
the ex-slave to accomplish his desires, but
60 he will, until he finds a home where his
rights will be respected, where his children
can be educated, and where he will stand
forth in the race Of life with vindcated
and appreciated manhood as his estate
The exodus will 90 on, though it may be
treated with contumely and scorn,

PAP" THOMAS was probably the most
popular commanding officer in the Union
armies during the late war. At the same
time he was an efficient dsciplinnrian and
a successful general. A virginan by birth
and thorough Southerner by association,
he remained true to the Union, when his
former comrades and blood-relatves, friends
and kinsmen, went with their States" as
the phrase goes. These facts will enable
the orator who will officiate at the unveil-
ing of the statue of the old hero next
month to enlarge without limit upon the
patriotic and consistent example of true
and useful citizenship afforded by his illus
trious career. In times like these the les
sons TO be drawn from such record as he
made cannot fail to make deep impress
sion upon the public mind nor to be pro-
ductive of good effect And the orator to
be selected for this occasion will fail of his
duty if he does not embrace the oppor-
tunity to portray the virtues of the historic
old loyalist in the most forcible figures of
speech, that his example may arouse the
emulation of the thousands of people who
will be present to do honor TO his memory.

THE great misfortune of the Philadelphia
Times is that in its inordinate self-conceit it
believes nothing that does not originate
within itself The better we become ac-
quainted with our cotemporary the more
we come in accord with the author who re-
marks that {" man who shows himself too
well satisfied with himself is seldom
pleased with Others, and they, in return,
" are little disposed to like him."

THE Syracuse Journal, which was far
from being an advocate of Mr. CoRNELL's
nomination, is now stalwart in his support.
In speaking of CURTIS and his scratching
policy, it says, "He is leader without a
single follower" If he shall continue to
trihe with the interests of the proprietors
of Haper's Weekly it will reach a point
where it will be as destitute of Republican
readers as CURTIS is of followers.

The Charlotte On, c. Observer says in
reference to the late TILDEN interview
which has been widespread and generally

"passed it over without as much rs Il refer

Observer seldom looks the truth square
in the face. 1t seldom has much to do with
it, and hence the interview in question was
passed over with most withering neglect.

MARS AND CUPID.

An interviewer for the ST. Louis Times
journal went on the trail of Secretary
ScHURz while he was the guest of his part
ner, DIR. PREToRIUs, and failing TO tree the
Secretary, struck bonanza of information
in the shape of u buxOm female who had
been very close observer of the Secretarys
conduct while soiourning in the family.
This lady informed the interviewer that Mr..
ScHURz was much agtated about the In
dian troubles. While eating his breakfast
he had frequently brought his cenched
hand down on the table with much violence,
and he likewise complained Of the tough
ness of the notwithstanding he never
did before After breakfast he wandered
into the paror and played on the piano n
tune which he always plays when he feels
bad. The lady didn't know what the tune
was, but the interviewer came to the con-
clusion that it was "The Heart Bowed
Down. But this was not all the infor-
nation that was drawn forth upon the occa-
sion. We quote from the interview:
"You dom { hear anything about MrSCHURZs
getting married do yOu?' asked the reporter.
No not much" said the buxOm creature;
"but | think Herr SHoORTZ would like to be
married, for he is very fond of the ladies. lie
carries a lady's picture around with him in
his satchol. He showed ii to Herr PREToRIUs
this morning and when Herr PREToRIUs'
back was turned Herr SHOORTZ kissed the pic
tuIe."
This may be the product of a fertile re-
portorial Imagination, but, if true, it is emil
nently unfortunate just at this time Cupid
and Mars cannot work happily together; or,
rendered in plain English the man who is
in love is in no frame Of mind to subdue an
