Congressman Money, of NJ issisSippi. Is one
of the candid sort Of statesmen who j. moi
afraid To speak out. He does not seem to
care whether his views are agreeable to his
party or not. He sent a random shot or two
into his own camp the other day IN an in
tereiew with a New York reporter. The
talk was on general political topics. aud the
Colonel said:
He was one of the few Democrats who or
posed the course of his party at the extra
session. not that be believed the measures
introduced were wrong, bat because the
method adopted OF forcing them uDon the
President was unwise aud hurtfal 10 the
party, He thought the Southern Congress
men would have done better if they had
taken no part in the debates of the extra
s, sion. With thu exception OF Mr.. Tucker,
OF Virginia, who made strong argument,
their efforts were mainly stump speeches
or home consumption, which damaged the
South and the Democracy before the tribu
nal of Northern opinion.

The Negro Exodus.
BEGINNING OF THE INVESTIGATION AS TIC
ITS CAUSES.

WAsHIN GToN, Jan. 19th.-The Senate
Committee, consisting of Messrs. Voorhees,,
Vance, PendIeton, Wisdom and Blair, APP
pointed to investigate the causes of the exc
dus of the coiored people from the South
ern States, commenced taking testimony
to-day. The first witnesses examined were
Rev. J. E. Rankin, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church in this city, and Thomas l..
Tullock, Assistant Postmaster of Wash
ington, both of whom testified that they
had no personal knowledge of the causes OF
the exodus, and knew nothing Of a widely
scattered circular to which their names
were appended, appealing to people of the
United State for money to assist freedmen
in finding refuge from persecution, ETC., ex-
cept that they had promised to serve as
members of board of audit for the Emf
grant Aid Society therein referred to.
!. w. Cromwell, (colored,l of Washing
ton, a clerk in the Treasury Department,
and prominent member of the Emigrant
Aid Society, testified that the reason the
North Carolina negroes left their homes
was because they did not get enough money
for their work; did not hear that any Of
them were induced to go by Indiana poll
ticians.
Judge A. B. Carleton, of Terre Haute
Indiana, was the next Witness. He testi-
fed that he is well acquainted with the
people of Vigo county, and with the condi
ton of all that portion of Indiana There
is no present demand for farm hands oil
any other kind of unskilled labor. On the
contrary, there is an over supply, and thu
feeling of the people, including a number OF
old colored residents, with whom he ha
conversed, is decidedly averse to immigra
tion of destitute colored people like the
North Carolina immigration in question
and especially as the general impression
is that they are brought there only to vote

The Fourth Congressional District
Kemper and Neshoba.
Lauderdale Review

L1uGEIuatS 0cftcN
Is it possible that Neshoba and Kemper
counties want a little too much They
want to be taken out of this Judicial Dis
trict and placed in the one above, and
want TO be taken out of the Third Congress
ional District and put In this, the Fourth.
We are very much in favor of having the
latter want granted; but we are not partic-
ular about the other. 1t was a very fool
ISL act of the Legislature, in the first place,
to give us Yazoo and Holmes counties;
when we had such near and good neighbors
as Neshoba End Kemper. If we had these
two counties the geography location of the
District would have some shape, but as it
is it looks something like a rundown boot.
Besides the District would be composed of
a white voting population. As it is, we
have to show up white majority to over
balance that OF the colored in Yazoo and
Holmes counties We hope our Legisla-
ture will sit down and think the matter
over and grant the desire of Neshoba and
KempeI to come over on our side and vote
for a congressman.

Foreign Immigration to the South.
E1tact of Letter to Charleston News.l

EXtact OF Letter 10 charleston news
Washington, d. c., February Sd, 1885,
Mr.. A. N. Hurst, the advance agent of about
two thousand English families who ore de-
sirods of emigrating to this country, called
upon Senator Hampton yesterday to enquire
about the price of farm lands in South Car
DINA, and to obtain osher information of in
terest to those whom he represents. Mr..
Hurst has recently purchased $4,000 acres
of land in West Virginia, and proposes to go
direct to South Carolina for the purposes of
further investigation and investment. Mr..
Hurst declares that many substantial and
well-todo farmers of England are ready to
remove to America, and will come as soon
as homes are provided for their reception.
They have become greatly discouraged OF
late on account of their losses occasioed by
the heavy importations of American "meat"
and grain, and they prefer to be on the win
ming side of the water and compete with
American farmers on their own ground.

The Man for the Times.
From the Kansas City Times.1

Mr.. Seymour, from his vocation of life as
farmer, is in sympathy with the great
farming and laboring classes of the United
States. He is one of the Northern men
who is sufficiently intelligent and patriotic
to see that it is to the interest of the State
and city of New York to cultivate the best
political and personal relations with the
great agricultural and producing classes
South and West. His letters to the pub
lie advocating the repeal of our unwise
navigation laws and the restrictions of the
tariff preventing the building of American
vessels and increasing our tonnage, prove
him to be a statesman who sympathizes
with the producing classes in having cheap
transportation of their commodities to
foreign markets.

A Kind Word for a True Man.
Macon Sun.

Somehow or other some of our State ex-
changes have fallen into the mistake OF
calling the Brandon Republican fre-eat-
ing Bourbon journal. 1t is neither, not in
the offensive sense of the terms. Col.
Frantz and ourselves were, in ante-bellum
times, of the same political faith and creed,
and there was no such thing as fire-eating in
the thirty nine articles of that faith. 1t was
characteristic of the old leaders of that
party that they were never of the rule and
rum stripe, but have been firm, honest and
consistent in their opposition to Radical
ism in all its shapes, and they have never
been disorganizers.

Congressman Money ON the Exodus.

Tie NEW IHIk 1IIUUIV sdyA.I
''One prominent Southerner takes cheer
full view of the negro exodus. Congressman
Money of Mississippi says that he hopes it
will continue until every negro has left the
South and that he tells the blacks so. His
reason is his belief that there will always be
white men, native or imported. to incite
them TO antagonism towards the whites,
but he fails to suggest who will do the work
of the South when the workers are gone"
st. Louis Republican,
If Republicans generally were convinced
that the Southern people took the same view
of the exodus business as Congress man
Money. they would stop it Tomorrow. They
encourage it now, not for the sake of better
ing the coalition of the negroes, but in the
hope and belief that it will irreparabiy in
lure the South.

The Legislature of Mississippi cannot do

The Agricultural and Mechanical college,

buildings now used by his beneiciaries for
cooking may be reserved for the increasing
