JUST as we expected, and have many times
suggested, the Republicans in the senate
have concluded TO make use of the negro exo-
dus from the south as n political matter.
"Ths intention, says the Washington corre-
spondent Of The New Orleans Times, WAS
indicated in their caucus of last week, and
recent facts make il certain that attempts
will be made TO prove that the negroes leav-
ing the rver parishes of Louisiana and the
opposite counties in Mississippi have done so
because they believed their rights were inn
periled, and that they could not exercise the
right of suffrage, particularly without under
going great personal danger. Mr.. MILAN, of
Minnesota, who is among the promoters Of
this plan, processes to havo proof that at
some landings in Louisiana armed men are
stationed 10 prevent the embarkation of
negroes on the st. Louis steamboats,. There
will probably be resolution introduced call
ing for information upon the subject, and ap-
pointing q committee TO examine and report

offered by Republican. 10 is suggested by
Republicans that the United States marshas

A SPECIAL from London to the New York
Herald states that England's foreign trade
is in as unsound state as her nome CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests. The Anglo
Indian banks are in most unsatisfactory
condition. England's trade with China, which
has been decreasing steadily year by year, is
now said by merchants to be as good as alto
gether dropped, owing to lack of profits on
the business and the unsatisfactory state OF
England's relations with China. In fact, it
seems probable that Eugland's trade with
China will have TO be abandoned, for it Is
admitted that American opposition and en-
terprise lave entirely killed English rivalry
in that part OF the world.

MEMPHIS, TENN. TUESDAY. APRIL 90. 1870.

Mr.. Fernando Wood-one establishing a per-
manent sinking fund, and the other pro-
Vldlng for the appointment of joint COM
mittee to revise the revenue laws.
With nine States only called the bills in
troduced number two hlpdred and ninety.
At half-past two o'clock the call of the
States had only reached Georgia, and upward
of five hundred bills had been introduced.
Twenty-one States, exclusive of the Terrific
ries, are yet to be called. A vast number of
petitions were filed, including one by Mr..
Warner, praying for an amendment In. the
coinage laws so as to admit silver to unlimit-
ed coinage, on the same conditions with gold,
and to provide for the issue of certificates for
bullion.
Among the bills was one by Mr.. Whit
thorne, authorizing the appointment of a
JOINT special committee to inquire into the
causes leading to the removal OF large bodies
of citizens from the southern States to certain
other States. The preamble recites that it Is
alleged that the emigration Is IN consequence
of the denial of legal and poll .ical right; that
this is controverted, and that it is stated on
the other side that it Is a cunning scheme OF
reckless adventures to take advantage of
the race prejudice TO enrich themselves in
money and political power, In utter indif-'
ference to the suffering and distress that
may happen TO their victims.
The resolution further declares that the
right of all classes of citizens, without regard
to race or color, should be secured, and asks
for a committee to inquire into the true
causes and facts, and to report.
All the States and Territories having been
called, aud bills up to No. 1885 having been
introduced, the house took a recess the
evening session to be devoted to debate on
the legislative appropriation bill.
-EvENraG slass0E,

The freight and baggage is total loss.
