Tho Free Market Question.

Az Councilman Norton has proven
himself 10 be the leader Of the propos
I'd market change to allow farmers to
sell the meat of their own raising in
the curbston- market, a repres enta tive
Of the REPrnllcAs called upon that gen.
,leman ON saturday, to ascertain what
were his views upon the subject. lie
was found busy experimenting the un.
loading and weigLinGof bales Of rags
at his place of business, Eighth and
Church streets, but was ready to give
us a courteous reception and gave us
the information We desired.
You see my plan is something like
this, "said Mr.. Norton :" License every
farmer wishing to sell meat of his own
raising in the market by the paymen,
of Is; each farmer to take an obliga.
tiou before the Mayor, when he takes
out his licence, that he will only sell
his own raising In regard TO the
butchers and even the SINNERS, who
carry on business aud pay taxes within
the City, Mr.. Norton said he vas in
ioNoi VI s'aatiuE tueih tIlt same pFlvl
lege, by the payment Of like amou n,
OF tax. By this plan there would be no
body excluded from the curb-stone
market, except the country "Shinners, y
and the curb.stone would ba practically
free market to the farmers and tL.
City butchers.
To this plan Mr.. Norton said there
was no objection by the city butcher,
and he thought there should be non.
by the farmers. The foregoing is &
crude outline Of what Mr.. Morton
thought the ordinance should be, bu
he is open to conviction and If any
better plan is put forward he Is read,
TO support it. Mr.. Norton since hi
party has come into power in the City
Council, has shown considerable indie
pendescc, through which be has be
come really leaser, and therefore hi,
views upon all questions of city gov
ernment are entitled to consideration
One thing is certain Mr.. Norton vii
not push forward any measure which il
obnoxious to the wish Of a majority o
the people.

Large Numbers Of CoiOred reOpie
I.eay tnK Louisiana 10 Seek Hon. 60
And safety In the West

Gen Frank MOrey, a former member
of Congress from Louisiana, and who is
now conducting a large plantation In
Madison Parish in that State, reports
that the colored people are leaving the
State in larg. numbers, and seeking
that protection for life and property in
other localities which is denied them
in Louisiana. Gen. Morey reports
that the lawlessness Of Contordia, Ten
sas, Ouschita, and n.ighboring parish
~, during last Falls campaign has
given the colored labors and voters al
inluietuds from which they seek relisl
in migration. Land and emigration
agents from Kansas have been among
the people and assured them that they
can live pleasantly and comfortably in
the West, and that, In view Of their
slight tenure Of existence in Louisiana,
they would do we'll to migrate. v
Thus urged hundred OF laborers are
leaving all these perishes. The exodus
has fairly begun, and is creating grea,
alarm among the planters and land
holders Of til. localities mentioned. The
colorrl people are selling of every thing
they own, and steam boat landings on
the Mississippi.are constantly crowded
with those fleeing from Democratic
hatred and persecution. Gen. Morey
believes that the depopulation o
the parishes named, through the migra
tiun Of the colored laborers, will speed
lily produce poverty and beggar,
throa yhout that section Of Louisiana
and that the exodus, if continued, viii
certainly exert an influence upon tn
colored people in all those sections o
the South in which the politica! privi
leges guaranteed them by the Cons.i
tuition are denied and the ordinary pro
lection Of the law studiously and wick
ed!y withheld from them.

and strongest man. The leading names thus

delegates instructed To support him. The
chances are that Mr.. Morrill, will be nom-

POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
Democratic Caucus.

WAsmINGToN, June -. An adjourned
meeting of the advisory committee of the
House and Senate advisory caucus decided to
divide the judicial bill into two separate
bills the first to contain all appropriations
except those for nited States marshal fees
1t will also repeal the jurors test oath and
amcnd law regarding drawing of jurors.
The second bill will contain no appropria-
tun for marshals with the Objectionable fea-
lures of the Presidents vetoed bill. The
plan will be submitted for approval this after
noon, at the caucus.
The democratic senators and representa-
tivcs held joint caucus this afternoon to re-
ccivc report of the advisory committee on
the judicial expenses bill Extraordinary
precautions were taken to preserve secrecy.
The report provides for a division of the We
tocd bill into two bills, the first to provide for
judicial expenses. the second to contain the
clauses to which the President objects.
Adoption of the report was advocated by
Mr.. Ackerman in an earnest speech, who
said the plan was the wsest and most expe-
dicnt in every point of view.
Considerable discussion was had on rcsolu-
tion to pass the bill again in its present form
1t was finally rejected
Another resolution was offered that both
houses adjourn, and if convened, adjourn
again, aed so on indefinitely. This, when it
came up in regular order. was laid on the
| table.
The report of the advisory committee was
adopted unamended and the bill will be re-
ported to the House tomorrow.
| Debate was very animated and at times
considerable excitement prevailed.
The most determined opponents now say
they will make no further opposition to the
measures. Congress will probably finally adj
journ immediately after the Presidents action
on the bills.
