More Exodus Testimony.

Ex-State Senator Burch, of Louisiana,
appeared before the Senate Exodus In
vestigation Committee on the 18th, and
proceeded to enlighten Dan Voorhees,
and his colleagues as to the condition
of affairs, from the colored standpoint
in Louisiana. He said the efforts by
Democrats last winter to pass the
"Chain-gang law" and the uncertainty
OF the status Of colored people under
Democratic rule. prevented many from
making the usual labor contracts in
January and February this year, and
the result was already observable in the
large number of colOred people who
had moved from the planting districts
into the cities and towns on the banks
of the rivers, so as TO take advantage of
opportunities for transportation to the
West. He grouped the causes Of ex.
Odus under five heads, vizi Fear on the
part of colored people of class legisla-
tion against them by Democratic legis-
latOrs; fear OF Interference with their
educational privileges. the uncertainty
of obtaining homes and insecurity Of
retaining them; interference with their
religious and personal rights and fear
of disfranchisement. He thouoht Il
not improbable that protection OF his
people in all their rights would produce
the effect upon them it has produced in
the case of Irish, and German, and En-
glish immigrants that had found homes
and educational advantages and civil
and political rights in this country. He
believed that in right and Justice the
experiment should be tried. II would
at least stop the exodus of his race. To
the great change in the political COM
plexion of voters Ia some parishes With
in the last few years, US shown by the
election returns, he instanced Ouach.ta
Parish, where in 1876 from 1900
to 1900 Republican and 400 or
800 Democratic votes were cast,
while at the last election the lead
ing Democratic candidate polled 1875
and the Republican candidate only II
votes. This and similar changes, he
said, were accomplished by Demo-
cratic County Returning Boards. From
hve to seven police jurors were form

iority were driven away by armed
Democrats. He thought it was not
necessary for Democrats to use force
now to carry elections. as the legal
machinery they have devised enables
them m"to count out any one they chOose.n
The witness was then asked by Mr..
voorhees, to explain how it was that
in so many parishes where colored Re-
publioans Outnumber white Democrats
so largely they do not defend them
selves and prevent the wrongs It is
alleged they suffer from. In reply
Burch stated that when it is remeni-
bered that these white Democrats are
the same people who, when engaged
in rebellion, It required the expendi-
ture of millions of treasure, the loss of
hundreds of thousands of lives, and
over four years of time to subdue;
that while it is borne in mind that ever
since the collapse of the rebellion, the
whites have kept up their military or
ganization, and an army of them, drilled
and trained fighters, exists to-day, it is
absurd 10 expect a negro " with hoe
in his hand" to resist these men. The
witness admitted that affairs we're
quieter now than in 1874, when the
State was under Republican rule; that
negroes were persecuted more then than
now, but quiet prosecutions, he said,
are being carried on, which result in
driving away from their parishes repre-
sentative colored men to a much greater
extent than under Republican rule

own innocence, and declared that a
Judas among the Council had done the
villainy. The committee say:
]. That the returns were kept from candi-
dates contrary TO us4ye.
2. That during such time alterations, eras-
ures and forgeries we're made upon them for
the purpose Of counting out Republicans.
