rae NegrO Exodus.
NEW YORK, October 3d.-The
Times says: 1t is difficult to regard
with patience the facts reported in
our Washington dispatches re-
garding the agents of colored men
from North Carolina who are in
Washington seeking to make ar
rangements for the emigration of a
portion of their race from their
present homes. They have received
letters from colored friends in
North Carolina, telling them that
it would not be safe to return home
just yet, as the whites are highly
incensed and threaten to do vio-
lence to the agents for having ex-
pressed themselves so freely to a
Times correspondent regarding the
condition of their people south.
Intelligence also has been received
of a stratagem on the part of the
whites to prevent the threatened
exodus this fall. They purpose to
keep back money owed to colored
people and purchase cotton and
other crops on credit, or for scrip
only. In cases where colored men
rent farms, landlords will not con-
sent to the sale of crops until they
receive their own third as rent,
and will decline to receive their
portion for several months to come,
which, under the landlord and ten
ant act passed for their especial
benefit, they have a perfect right
to do. BY thus Withholding from
the colored people their just dues
they hope to keep them penniless
and defeat the emigration move
ment.
