WASHINGTON, April IL feel very certain
that Mr. Jorgensen was in error when he
predicted that the President would approve
the army bill, even if it reached him in the
form in W hich it passed the House. There
are Democrats who do not agree with me,
but my information from the White House
through sources perfectly reliable lead me
to believe that under the advice OF Garfield
4 Co. Mr.. Hayes has forgotten his policy OF
Cancellation, his obligations to the Demo-
Gratis, and the bad treatment OF the Republ-
cans OF tho Senate, and determined TO
perpetuate the use OF troops at the
polls to aid in electing Grant in 1880,
il possible. A Republican correspondent
| assures me that 4 member Of the Cabinet
told him at church yesterday that it will he
vetoed, and two correspondents say Mr..
Hayes informed them to-day, in substance,
that be means to veto the bill. The best
known correspondent OF the western press
tonight said to me that after 4 protractcd
conference with the President he IS certain
that he will not sign the bill. When it reaches
the Senate the Democrats hope that not
more than three or four senators on their
side Of the chamber will speak, and OF
course Mr.. Thurman will be one Of these
and Mr.. Bayard another, but it will be hard
to limit the speeches on either side. 1t is,
however, safe TO predict that the debate will
be able, and enlist the best talent Of the
body.
TIE EXODUS OF THE NEGROES FROM THE sou1U.
All the accounts that reach Washington
from the South indicate that the negroes are
very much worked up in regard TO going
West and North, and that they have the idea
that some Moses is TO rise up and lead them
from Egypt to the Promised Land. The ultra
Radicals at Washington. including Zach.
and William +. Chandler and Intdcl Bob
Ingcrsoll, arc also greatly interested in the
moYemcnt-So much so that Zach. offers
them land and mule, and Bob Ingersoll
says he will give half he can make by his
lecture on hell and against the Bible in
aid Of the cause. Now, these Radical lead
crs do not care tg fer the personal COM
fort OF the negroes, and have been anxious
to ascertain why they are so much interested
in aiding them to emigrate from their homes
to strange country. I asked first south
erncr what it meant, and he replied: ut
means that these Utopian negro-worshipper
are persuadinS the black man to leave a
people, q country, and climate suited to
his race by centuries OF residence in the
South, to seek homes in a colder region,
where the negro has never met with either
sympathy or assistance" / propounded
the same question to q northern Republ-
can, and he said, {" 1t will take the negro
from land of bondage to home OF free
dom, and make men and women OF his chill
drcn." A western Democrat to whom |
communicated the above answers said, GAIL
that is fudge, as it means politics, and no.
thing more or less, for Zach. Chandler cares
no more for their bodies than Bob lngcrsoll
does for their souls. The movement indi-
Gates" said he, "that even with the troops
at the polls, these Radical managers cannot
now see how they can rescue the solid
South from the Democrats; but they do see
how by the transportation Of negro voters
from the South to the West, western States
now doubtful can be made secure for Ulys-
ses in 1880. They have taken time by the
forelock, aud it will not cost more to do
this than to use the customary measures for
making Democratic States with small ma
iorities Republican," A leading Massachu-
sets Journalist says it is clear that the
movement is intended 10 decrease the popu.
lation Of the South so as to diminish rerre-
sentation in 1880. He believes that thou
sands after they get West will be gradually
taken to New York, New Jersey, and Con-
nectcut. Money, and great deal Of it, is
being used, he says, by the inaugurators
and managers Of this cruel scheme. You
will bear more Oft. Rainey, eX-congressman
from South Carolina, ard other prominent
negroes who sojourn In Washington in hope
of being provided for are holding meetings
on the subject, and say the negroes from
their States are anxious to cmigrate to a
new country where they can enjoy, sup
pose, such political privileges as they had
when South Carolina and other States were
robbed Of every dollar that could be reach
ed. Rainey is one OF a colored commission
that is to be sent West to look after the move
ment and report his observations to Zach
Chandler.
THE RIvEs USuRPA TON BEFORE THE SUPREME
| COURT.
Acknowledgement Field, Of Virginia. went
before the Supreme Court this morning and
asked for writ OF hdbeas corpus in the
case OF Judge Cole, Of Pittsylvania county,
indicted in the United States Court Tor tne
Western District OF Virginia-Judge RiTes
presiding-for having refused to have me-
erocs summoned as jurors. The Court In
formed him that the matter would be taken
I'm der consideration, and response given
him tomorrow. The Attorney-General
will be promptly on hand when the court
meets in the morning. -.. ..-.>...
In addition to the petition In the name OF
the State, General Field also presented the
petition OF Judge Coles, the Chief-Jus
remarking that he would consider this at
| the same time with the petition Of the State.
As to the personal petition there may be
some doubt, but as to the petition OF the
State there can be scarcely any that the
Court has orig inal jurisdiction: Judges
ip,a,ay ond Clifford suggested that il
