THE EXODUS INVESTIGATION,

The Senate special committee to inyesti-
gate tho causes of the exodus from the South
Is eItcitng some very interesting information,
which proves conclsvely that tho move
ment was, II not originally set on foot for
political purposes, almost instantly seized
upon by Radical demagogues to serve their
party purposes. The testimony of Charles
Ii. Olney (coloredl, editor of the Wash
ington Argus and principal OF the How
ard University School, Is very concu-
siye as to the manner In which the Ma
tional Emigrant Aid Society" (of which he
was one OF the founders, and the object OF
which was to furnish aid to colored people
fleeing from oppre5sion.'1 was at one OF It's
very first meetings converted into political
machine for the purpose of colonizlng Indiana
80 as to carry that State for the II radicals in
the coming presidential election. He, there
fore, opposed the movement and made the
most searching inquiries as to the cause OF the
colored people leaving North Carolina his
native State He discovered that three iRno-
rant negroes who had been North had been
employed to return to the State and delude
their people by the most glowing stories
about the country they had visited Olney
said that

The Rochester Union max Us the point that
the proposition - change the manner or
choosing presidential electors In New York
Ia clearly contrary to the constitution OF the
United States. Que Of the recent amend
ments says that when the right to vote at
any election for tho choice Of electors for
President or Vice President OF the United
States is denied to any of the male
Inhabitants Of such State, being twenty-one
years of age and citlzsns Of the Unlted Stat es
or In any manner abrid ged. except for par
tieipatlon In reballiou or other crime, the
basis OF representation thereiu shall be TO-
duced In the proportion VIII oh the number
OF such M le citizens shall bear to the whole
number of male oltzsns twanty-one years of
age In such State.
The Uaion contends, with some force, that
the selection OF electors by the Legislature
would deny voters la New York the right to
vote for such electors, and the proposition to
elect them by congressional districts would
equally violate the provision Of the constttu-
ton above quoted, because voter now has
the right to vote for thtrty-tlve electors, and
under the district system he would be per-
mitted TO vote for three only-two for the
State at large AMI one for the congressional
district LII which he livei. II Is evident that
this would be material abrldgment OF the
voters present privilege, aud by a strict
Of the constitution would reduce
The vote OF New York ii the elect oral College
rom thrty-five 70 three. The fact that .
D drnosratie Con yress would have to pass
,pon these and other points may prevent the
eaDuhIina rs of New York from cOnsummat-
or the scheme they now have 10 hand, to
teal half the electoral votes Of the State.
here Ia no doubt OF their desire to do 80.

EQUALIZATION OF ASSESSMENTS.

Upon this subject the DEMOCRAT has said
almost all that there Is to be said 1t la i'm
possible TO exnggerate the importance of
carrying into effect Gov. Wits recommen-
dalton In the premises and perfeeting leglsla-
ton that will realize the spirit of our institu-
tions by equaltzlng assessments and thereby
assuring uniformity of taxation throughout
the State Not only ts 1t practicable under
this plan to attain the most absolute fairness
In the matter OF raising revenue for the sus-
tenance OF the government, but the system
also assures the collection OF the full amount
needed by the treasury. 1t seems to us that
this Is a measure upon which all classes or
citizens can unto In thorough harmony II
not enthusiasm. 1t Is certainly everybody's
interest TO have every one else brought within
the reach Of tribute. Every taxpayer will
meet his public obligations and discharge his
public duties with far more willing heart If
no can feel that all are sustaining their
rightfui share OF the common burden
all contributing equally to the support
Of government. 1t il, indeed, Of the highest
Importance that we should have such legisla-
tion as will insure fulilllment OF the idea of
uniformity In taxation which, by the way,
equality Of assessment. Gov Witt has i'm
pressed this upon the Legislature In his
message, and, since we have now General
Assembly In full accord with the highest as
ptrations of craftsmanship 1t Is safe to ex-
peet that the Governors suggestions will be
put In force
