THE COLORED EXODUS.
Testimony to outrages in Louisiana

Testimony to Outrages in Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Philips Joseph, a
mulatto, was before the Exodus Committee,
testifying that negroes in Madison parish,
Louisiana, where he resides were wellftreated
by the whites until election, in December,
1879, when armed bands of whites from other
parishes raided on the parish, killing and
wounding negroes and intimidating the whole
colored population. The effect was to carry
the election by the Democrats by 5000 MAORI
ty, when the Republicans had carried the
previous election by $500 majority, the ne
groes being afraid to vote. The negroes found
difficulty in getting away, as the steamboats,
were afraid to take them. Out in Ouchita
parish negroes had the same difficulty in leav-
ing as in old slavery times. They were fire.
quently killed if it was known they intended
leaving, and were hunted down with blood
hounds. He described the manner in which
the negroes under the new constitution of Lou
isian were obliged to vote, SO their white en-
ployers knew how they voted. In the course
of his examination by Vance, the witness sta
ted that the whites were armed with sixteen
shooters while the negroes were unarmed.
Mr.. Vance asked if the eight negroes to one
white could not protect themselves; if they
could not arm themselves with sticks?
Witness responded that he would take his
chances with a sixteen shooter any time
against eight white men, and told Mr. Vance
that if he should go there and suggest to the
blacks that they should protect themselves,
the whites would soon ornament a lamp-post
with his body.

The Ice Business on the Kennebec.
GARDINER, March 27.-The ice men are
waiting patiently for the opening Of the river,
while the vessels chartered in advance will
wait at the mouth of the river till it is clear of
ice. 1t is thought probable that no less than
fifty vessels will be waiting while the ice is
going out. On the 24th inst, rthe river was
opened from Gardiner to the mouth, with the
exception of a mile near Richmond On the
9th the river closed again, circumstance
that has not occurred before for ninety-ive
years, record having been kept
The following amounts have been housed:
On the Kennebec river, $4,000 tons; Penob-
scot river, 100000 tons; Unity Pond, $4,000
tons; Cathance river and Boothbay, 39l 900
tons. OF the amount housed on the Kenne-
bee, 81 900 tons remain unSold.
1t is estimated that it will take $50 vessels
on the Penobscot and $3.50 on the Kennebec to
ship the ice.
