The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-04-23

THE reactionary tide of colored pop
ulation that has set so strongly under
delusive promises by the instigators of
it, will commence after the rigors of the
coming winter and the hardships incl
dent to the removal, have been expert
enced The emigrants will find that
their new homes do not afford the same
opportunity for comfortable living, as
the old ones. That thrift and industry
are more indispensable to life there than
in the South. That they viii have to
deal with more exacting employees.
That they viii have to compete with
skilled white labor which will look upon
them with no friendly eye as ihtruders.
That they are strangers who have been
badly "taken in" by the unprincipled
agitators who are specializing on their
credulity. To what fate are they
doomed since they madly threw away
the best opportunities that any agricul-
turaI Iaboring classes ever enjoyed to
embark in an adventure which can bring
nothing but sorrow and Disappointment

The Kansas Movement.

From 5000 to 5000 colored people.
according to estimates, have gone to
Kansas. Several thousand are camped
around Wyandotte, Leavenworth and
other towns, in great want and distress,
and appeals are sent forth for assistance
to relieve their suierings. The Mayor
of Wyandotte, where the largest num-
Der have squatted, has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation
CINCINNATI, April I9.-The Mayor of Wv
andotte City, Kansas, has issued proclama-
ton, intended To check colored immigration to
that place. He warns all concerned that the
city of Wyandotte will hold all the boats
officers, agents, or any other persons who NAV
be concerned in importing destitute persons to
the strietest legal consequences and penalties
of the law attaching to such offenses.
A number of the emigrants have be-
come discouraged and returned to their
old homes, but the full tide may not be
expected for some months yet.

Why do the sectional agitators make
so much noise over the migration of ne
groes to Kansas after having tempted
them with promises of lands without
price, and a better state of existence
generally? Tens of thousands of white
people from the Northern States are
constantly going West" and no Con-
gressional investigation COMMITTEES are
appointed to inquire into the matter.
Hav'nt the colored race as much to emf
CRATE as any other race?

TAXING BONDS.

Third. 'Theexemption of bonds (held
mostly by wealthy money lords from
taxation" What better record do the
Nationals want on this question than
the one presented by the Democratic
party? In 1862, Mr.. Holman, Demo
crat,) of Indiana, pending bill for the
issuance of bonds, offered the following
proviso
That nothing in this act shall impair the
right of the States to tax the bonds under this
For this proposition every Democrat
voted.
And in 1868, the National Democratic
Convention passed the following resolu-
tion:
Equal taxation of every species Of property
according 70 its real value Including bonds and
other Securities
This was the highest and most author
itative expression of the will of the
Democratic party on this question, and
it has never taken step inconsistent
with it, though Overborne by the supe-
rior numbers marshaIled under the ban

Hon. t. L. Cooper of Leake county, is
prominent candidate for the State Senate from
the district composed of the counties of Alfalfa

elected He belongs to that class of live and
matured men who give the State substantial
service in the Legislature. With much expert
ence in official life, having been Sheriff of Leake
county for many years and also member of the
lower house of the State Legislature, he would
bring to the Senate practical knowledge of the
needs of the people and a skill in devising
measures for just and economic government.
We hope to see the Senate and House both filled
with men like Cooper.

There can be nothing but good words
for the public agent who performs his
trust conscientiously and well. Our
gifted neighbor and friend whose name
heads this article was assigned a place
on the Legislative ticket of Kinds
county in 1877, and was elected by a
majority larger than was received by
any of his popular and worthy colleagues.
He was reared in our midst and was
appreciated for his merits by those who
knew him best, and were anxious to
testify the esteem with which they re-
garded him. With every reason to be-
lieve that his course in the Legislature
was approved, and that he would have
been re-nominated and elected, he has
positively declined to become a candi-
date, and has resumed the post ofhonor,
a private station, for a time at least;
and only for a time, let us hope.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Herald says that DIR. Blackburn, the
yellow fever hero, who has been to all
intents and purposes, nominated for
Governor of that State, sis in IA
vor of Mr.. Tilden for next Presi-
dent, and in that sentiment he is
heartily indorsed by large major
ity of Kentuckians. The people of the
South have full confidence in his honor,
fidelity, and craftsmanship. They feel
assured that all his professions ofreform
will be faithfully and truthfully carried
out; that under his administration the
Southern States will be fully recognized
as part ofthe Union" We are gratifed
to know that all ofthe Democrats spoken
of in that connection stand on the same
ground. The question is, who is availa-
