The ZuIus.

The ZlIus are the CeesiiaIs of South Africa, the word ''Zlla' signifying heaven Their reputation as a warIke race dates from Chaka, who became early infiamed with ite ambition of rivaling Napoleon Bonaparte. While quite a youth he fell in with some English sailors who had been cast ashore in S;, Louis Bay, and from them he heard of the victorious career of the great CorsIcan. He vowed that he would be a corqueror, and at once set to work to fulfill his VOW. When, in 1895, he heard for the nrst lime of the overthrow of the French Empire at Wa-erloo, he complacentIy remarked: "Yes, see now, there are only two great olieIs in all the earth. My brother, King George, he IS King ot all the whites, and l, Chaku, am King of all the blacks.

The Great Debate.

The debate over the amendment TO the
army appropriation bill wakes hotter and
hotter. The speech made by Mr.. Frye on
Tuesday was the warmest yet uttered in
the House. Ii was fierce defiance and
arraignment of the democratic side. who
took their punishment not very kindly.
The ex-Confederates do not Ike to be told
of their failure in the rebellion, and north
ern democrats dread the effect upon the
North of recalling the events of the war.

Leaguers and kukluX. \ member from
North Carolina, where the bulldozers have
not been so prominent As in the cotton
States, ventured to deny for his State any
share in Kuklux operations. but this soil
tary denial only served to establish more
firmly the truth of the general rule of cleo
ton outrages in the South, rs charged by
Mr.. Frye.
1t is noticeable that the democrats exert
themselves to misrepresent the position of
the republicans. The latter are contend
ing specially for the freedom Of each
branch of the government in the exercise
of its powers in regard to legislation.
They oppose the placing upon the army
appropriation bill of an amendment to re-
peal matter which has no right there,
and is only placed there to coerce the
President in the use of his veto power
They defend the right of the President, as
of every other branch of the law-making
power. to the free use of his constitutional
prerogative. The democrats say in effect
to President Hayes, accept this bill as it is.
amendment and all. or we will vote no
money to carry on the government and it
must stop. The republicans say to the
democrats. if you desire to repeal the
election laws we have no objection to take
that question by itself and have it decided,
but we do object to all attempts to force
the President to consent to the repeal of
the election laws. under the threat that if
he does not the wheels of the government
must stop running.
The efforts which ihe democratic speak
ers and party organs make to cover up the
real issue, is good evidence Of its great
importance and the weakness of their po-
sition.

region is overgrown with cottonwood trees
and weeds.
Not week ago came an extensive planter
to this city to arrange for advances on his
coming crop. He made satisfactory arrange
ments and was on the point of returning home
when there arrived telegram telling him his
hands had left. In consequence, his arrange
ments had to be cancelled and he is ruined
man. Every day the same scene is enacted
in this city. The cotton planter wishes adj
vances the commission merchant asks what
are his prospects. What, indeed, are his
prospects under the present condition of
thing? There seems to be hardly any RENE
dy except perhaps were some of the men who
have interests at stake to go into the parishes
and persuade the negroes into a better frame
of mind; even this plan might fail however.
As there are now men in these parishes who
have the ear of the negroes and are doing all
they can to persuade them to leave. As
last resource, however, some thing must be
done to persuade the negroes to move into the
sugar region, where tranquility reigns and the
laborer not only gains but receives his hire.
1t is understood that an organization is being
made for this purpose, and that everything
will be tried to keep the negroes from entire
~ quitting the State, for il is conceded by the
wise that the negroes are the best field work
ers in existence, and that this State will go to
the dogs without them. This is the truth, al
though it does hurt the pride of the average
country politician to admit it. This great
change in the population of this State is go
ing on now and there is no time to lose if II
good result is to be obtained. The danger is
one of the present moment and the remedy
must br applied at once or not at all. At
such a moment as this the people of Louis
lana must not asked to be called twice to look
after their interests: the case has been clear
ly and honestly stated-the next thing is ac-
ton.

Municipal Bonds.

An important decision was rendered on
the 3lst by the Supreme Court of the
United States, against the city of New
Orleans. 1t affects the interest of holders
of municipal bonds all over the country.
In 1854, under act Of the Louisiana Legis-
lature, the Crescent City issued its bonds
in aid of certain railroads running into it,
The act contained no provision for tax
levy to provide for these bonds, and the
city refused to make a levy for that pur-
pose. In the Curcuit Court, Judge Bill
ings sustained the city in this position.
The Supreme Court. now reverses this de-
cision, and holds that the legislature, in
giving authority to create the debt. in
reality gave authority and made it the du-
ty of the city to levy the tax, and that this
duty the courts must enforce. The argu-
ment against the city of New Orleans was
made by ex-(iov. Daniel II. Chamberlain
As precedent this decision will be of
great value to bondholders, rs showing
that the Federal Courts will hold munich
palities to strictly righteous settlement
of their lawful obligations. The amount
of bonds directly affected by the decision
is put down at 100000.

The Negro Exodus from LOuisi
ana.

New Orleans Times, March ~.
The sensation of the day is. of course. the
stampede Of the negroes from the cotton region
of the State. The effects of this exodus
are already being felt; they are very serious
in their nature and must be seriously regard
ed. 1t is no use for journals in this city to
cry ''poppycock" and CANNON" Would ii
WERE The negroes like IA flock of frightened
sheep, or drove of insane swine, are making
head first to the river, and nothing but the
most determined efforts will prevent the de-
population of the upper country. The causes
OF this fright have already been described and
when the character of the negro is considered.
these causes appear sufficiently reasonable
An additional incentive to action on their
part comes from the favorable report made of
the prospects of the negroes who have already
left for Kansas. 1t is well known that In,
cOlored churches in ST. Louis have banded
together and are furnishing the needed assist
snce. In this work the local committees are
aided by the Ant-Slavery Society of New
York. This society has already sent large
amount of money and supplies of clothing to
st. Louis TO be distributed anon. the negroes
who arrive there. The result is that the ne
groes are well received, clothed and sent on
their way rejoicing towards Kansas. What
is more, there is a lawyer in this city who in
tends to 90 shortly to Kansas to attend to the
settlement of the legal status of the negroes
in that country. The negroes know these
things and therefore the publication thereof
will not act as an extra ipducement to them,
as some persons seem to think They would
be published, however, were this not true, the
object of the public tiion being to open the
eyes Of the people of this State and show
them what is about to happen. The trouble

1t is reported that General Garfield predicts
the extra session of Congress will last all
summer.
The Greenback Rhode Island mass con-
vention numbered forty active partici-
pants, and they were not agreed
Mr. Gorham was deposed from the Senate
Secretarvship because he was active in poll
tics Sergeant Thompson, however,
goes to Ohio to manage the State Committee
and is retained.
The practice of Congress in lacking on to
the appropriation bills wicked and ridiculous
projects, has heretofore excited discussion.
When the republicans were in power they
availed themselves of this, and got through
measures that otherwise would have failed.
Mindful of this the present democratic Con
grcss proposes to attach to the appropriation
bill such law as will remove all obstacles to
fraudulent voting in the South. 1t is said
that the President will veto the whole thing.
We hope he will. We condemned it when
the republicans were in power, and we con-
denim it now. 1t is simply a partisan job,
and the President will do himself Justice and
the country great service by standing Squarev
up. If the democrats in Congress wish to
block the wheels of government by rendering
the appropriation bills impossible to receive
the approval of the Executive, all right. The
issue will then be too distinct for men to hest
tate which side to take and the republican
party will receive such an accession to its
numbers that it will carry the country at the
next election.--iyooStook North Star.
