The Exodus.

The Washington Post, in q
late number, reviewing the ne
gro exodus scheme thus peril
nently remarks:
at was a Republican, in good
standing with his political breth-
rem, who testified before the Ex-
odus committee that for every
imported negro who found work
in Indiana a white man lost his
chance to earn a living. Both
Republicans and Democrats, Of
the highest responsibility agree
that there is no demand for la
Dor in excess Of present supply
in any part of that State, while
in come sections there is still
Idle muscle seeking employ
ment. Both Republicans and
Democrats, conversant with the
facts and of the best charac-
ter for veracity, agree that there
is no lack of work at fair wages
in the locality from which the
exodusting blacks have been and
are removing. Republicans and
Democrats, whose character cam
not be successfully assailed, a.
gree that the object of getting
the blacks into Indiana, was
purely political-''to put down
the Democratic party" 1t
seems to us that no investiga-
ton ever undertaken has more
fully established the statements
on which it originated than has
his inquiry into the cause and
Effects Of the exodus"

John Nevins was a fireman on
the Evart and Osceola Railroad
in Michigan. A log was chain
ed to the track one night, and
his locomotive was wrecked, kill
ing him instantly. His widow
sued the company for $4,000
damages. While the suit was
pending a good looking young
fellow made her acquaintance,
protested to fall in love with her,
and made a marriage engage
ment. Having confidence in
him, Mrs. Nevins told him that
the log was placed ON the track
at her request, she desiring to
get rid Of her husband, while
they were to have all the money
that could be gained by a law
suit. The wooer induced her to
repeat the story in the hearing
of concealed witnesses, and then
had her arrested. He was a de-
tective in the company's employ.
