was shaken up to-day by the discovery
of the body of young man about 80

railroad track, having evidently been
carried there from this city. There
were several cuts and bruises about the
face and head. The body was identi-

been at work in the lumber woods near
Grayling, and came here March 81.

The Mary Stannard Murder.
New Haven, April 11.-Chief JUS
tice Park said at the opening of the
court this afternoon that he would,
within day or two, name the date for
opening the trial of Rev. II. II. Hay
den, for the murder of Mary Stannard.
The state wanted to wait until June,
but the defense urged an immediate
trial on account of the poverty of the
client and the long imprisonment al
ready endured. Probably the case will
go over to June.

The cabine, on tho Indian Problem.

The Cabinet on tho Indian Problem.
Washington, April 1.-THE Indian
question came up for consideration at
the cabinet meeting to-day. The dis
cussion took a wide range, covering
the relations Of the Canadian govern
ment to our own in the event of a hos
tile movement southwark by Sitting
Bull and his band, the habeas corpus
of Standing Bear, now in custody of
Gen. Crook, and the incidents thereto;
and also the wisdom of the policy of
keeping northern Indians in southern
latitudes against their wishes, if they
were disposed to be peaceful in the
north.
DeSecretary Schurz took the ground
that to promote the best interests of
the country, both to whites and In
dians, it was necessary that the Indians
should be kept upon their reservation,
and out of the way of bad white men,
who would incite or provoke them to
acts of violence.
No definite conclusion was reached.

What Is Thought of Speaker Randall's
Committees.
Washington, April IL. - The an
nouncement of the standing commit
tees in the house of representatives
naturally excited great interest, not
only among the members, but Through
out all the political circles of Washing
ton, and tonight the composition of
the important factors of legislation,
and the promoters of personal ambi-
tion is universal topic of analysis and
comment. OF course, there are some
members who feel themselves more. or
less slighted in the distribution of good
places, and Speaker Randall's work is
otherwise criticised to some extent by
representatives Of various conflicting
interests. But the general opinion of
disinterested observers is that he has
done the best he could with the materi-
al in hand, and that on the whole he
has made up the committees discreetly
and fairly. The ways and means COM
mittee is strongly constituted, both in
its democratic and republican member
ship, and by reason of Randall's well
known views and political interests, it
naturally has decided leaning toward
the side of protective tariffs. In his
composition of the banking and cur
rency committee, the speaker has felt
himself obliged to recognize the over.

KANSAS,
Negro Exodus


New York, April 1.-The Herald
deyotes four columns to-day to the ne
gro exodus question. Its Leavenworth
correspondent says, a public meeting
of citizens was held at Wyandotte,
Wednesday, at which it was decided to
publish an appeal to the country to
raise funds to provide for the large
number of southern blacks now en-
camped there. About one thousand
have already arrived from Louisiana
and Mississippi, and it is the opinion
of the citizens that it is not safe nor
prudent for those people to tarry long.
Many of them have no money nor a
single change of clothing. Many have
died and scores more are sick of pneu-
monia or other diseases contracted on
the journey. A gentleman who has
lived in Mississippi for nearly forty
years, attributes the exodus mainly to
poverty. occasioned by an over-produc-
tion of cotton, and consequently the low
price Of that staple. He admits that
politics and the maiarial character of
the country have had something to do
with the stampede.
Ex-Congressman Rainey, of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national emf
grant aid society, who thoroughly un-
derstands the condition of his people in
the southern states, is now in WASH
ington, and was yesterday asked his
opinion of the present emigrant move
ment on the part of the negroes. He
said: 'I rather favor it, believing as /
do. the time has come when the col
ored people must look out for them
selves, and live where they can enjoy
best their political and social rights,
and at the same time improve their
material condition. They can hope
for neither of these in the south at
present"
Rainey, however, does not endorse
the present reckless exodus now going
on from Louisiana and Mississippi.
Being asked why so many of these
people were absolutely penniless, he
said, because the laboring classes
in the south, as general rule, never
receive actual money in compen-
sation for services. The plantation
hands are paid in scrip, having no
actual value or purchasing power out
side. By this fraudulent method and
arbitrary arrangement, the laborer is
compelled to purchase supplies at ex-
orbitant prices from his employer, in
stead of being allowed the benefit to be
derived from the force of wholesale
competition among regular merchants.
The lamentable poverty of this people,
despite their constant application to
labor, has led many to suppose that
they were utterly unfit for freedom or
the proper appreciation of the more lofty
rights of full citizenship. l say, by
all means let them go west, where they
will have an opportunity to develope
into full manhood, and at the same
time reap the benefit that would accrue
from tilling the rich, virgin soil of that
section. With these advantages, let
them take their chances as others have
done. Rainey believes that if the ne
groes are removed from the south, king
cotton will be dethroned, and other
agriculcultural interests will share in
the disaster.

Legislative Comments.

Washington, April II. - Senator
Slater to-day introduced bills to restore
the Lapwai mission claim now held by
the government authorities; to VIM. &.
Langtord; and to pay Alexander Nc
Nary and John II. Taylor some $1,000
for Oregon Indian depredations.
The democratic majority of the sem
ate to-day voted down all amendments
to the army appropriation bill, in pur-
suance of the determination fixed by
the caucus recently, to prevent the re-
turn of the bill to the house of repre-
sentatives for any reason whatever. 1t
is, of course, perceived to be good
party policy in strategic point of
view, to make sure of the signature
of this bill by the president, if possible,
before the more serious questions in
volved in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill are reached
for final action.
The adjournment was taken until
Monday because Wallace was not quite
ready to make his opening speech for
the democrats on the political portion
of the pending bill. He will speak on
Monday, and be Immediately followed
by Blaine.
