LOUISIANA EXODUS.
A CoLoRED EDITOR GIVES HIS VIEWS

COLORED EDITOR GIVES HIS VIEWS.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Senate exodus
committee to-day examined George T. Ruby,
colored, editor of the New Orleans Observer.
He testified the Louisiana exodus movement
originated among the plantation laboEers and
was the result of persecution of political mobs
of 1S74-75. Organizing as colonization
council in August, 1875, it spread rapidly from
parish to parish and permeated the State, par
ticularly the sections known cs the cotton
belt, where outrages had been most frequent.
Political leaders had nothing to do with it. The
immediate inducing cause of the New Orleans
convention, he said, was the Outrages COM
mitted in Louisiana during the summer and
autumn of 1878. The effect on cOlored people
of the lawlessness, which he said had prevailed
throughout the State, was to invite them to go
anywhere out of the hell in which they lived.
1t is, he said, the dread of his political rights
rather than his physical condition, To-
mentable az it is, that causes this
mitted that there was in New Orleans large
and increasing class among the white Demo-
Gratis, perhaps a majority, who deplOre the
present condition of affairs, but those who en-
terrain this feeling are merchants and capital
lists, naturally timid, and exert no influence
over political leaders. The rabid men control
the party and they are in the minority, but 80
long as the majority are quiescent and merely
deprecate lawlcssness, they can't prevent it.
Ruby stated he thought nearly OO0 negroes
bad cmigrated from the State, most of whom
had gone to Kansas. In the sugar growing sec
lions of the State a better feeling prevailed,
but 10 other parts the feeling of discomfort is
ON the increase, and indications are that many
more will leave this spring.

A CONTRACTOR TELLS HOW IL rAYs.
WASHINGTON, March l0.-The special COM
mittee of the House appropriation committee,
of which Blackburn is chairman, resumed eX-
animation of Monroe Salisbury relative to the
star route service. He furnishes the COM
mittee, at their request, tabulated statements
of seventeen routes in which he is interested,
In each of which the cost for expedition has ex-
ceeded S., 1000 per annum. the table shows that
the aggregate of original contracts upon these
routes was $l47,7OU, that this had been in
creased for additional trips $lc9,275, and
for expedited schedules $2l7,0O5, max
ing the aggregate compensation now paid
by the department $3.50, 9S3. Salisbury was
questioned at length in regard to different
routes, and admitted that on several of them
the passenger and express package business was
more profitable than carrying the mails, and
that if the department should withdraw the
extra compensation for increased trips and ex-
petition, he would continue the fast service
for the sake of the passenger and express traf-
fc. That Oh some routes he had expedited the
schedule beyond that required by his contract
with the postoffice department in order to Sc
cure this business, and that it paid him to
do SO.

CHICAGO. March 10.-CaLles six pence to a
shilling lower on cargoes. Our market opened
higher with fairly active trade at an advance
of half cent over last evenings closing, but
later ruled weaker, selling down rapidly, and
the boys all whooping it to $l.lS for April. At
this shot there was considerable doing in both
options. May a cent and a quarter premium
above the active option for April. New York
coming with exporters working freely on red
winter grades and large demand, with sales re-
ported for actual shipment of three quarters of
a'million of bushels, had tho effect to stimu-
late the weak bull and the slow pokes. The
active traders got their work in frat, and never
a hitch has there been to the closing. April on
curb, S1.2611s; March 1.2l bid. The gang
have the boys where the hair is short on March.
Free bidding and fair sales at $l.23. What
hope can the shorts have on April and May
with the combination holding everything and
largely long on both options If the sellers OF
TODAY don't have the horn collie then I, stop
guessing.
Corn-It's only hog feed. May 45c bid, July
1920.
Provisions-There was very slight trade
and little doing, and only limited demand
for either option. With all the furry in wheat
this product has been very steady and the clos
ing is higher. April $ll.521a, May $ll.G5 bid.
Lard firm, 8. Is April; $7.25 May.

Il Talk tcjth an Editor.

Mr.. Charles De Young, proprietor of theISan
Francisco Chronicle, who was brought into pub
lie notice some time ago through an unpleas-
antness with the mayor-elecs of San Francisco.
in which little difficulty shooting irons played
a prominent part, was subjected to the inter-
viewing process, at the Palmer house, by a
Daily NeaUS reporter this morning.
Mr.. De Young at first disclaimed knowledge
of anything not already familiar, in generali-
ties. at least, to the newspaper-reading pu bile.
The conversation d-ifted naturally into the
Chinese question. Mr.. De Young remarked that
it was a matter that seemed to be imperfectly
understood by the people east of the Pacific
coast. Kearney and his mob bad harped \
this question so long that people here enter
tanned the idea that the solution of the Chinese
question would be the natural result of per-
Celestial and the wanton destruction of his
property. This was the course urged by Kear-
ney, and advocated repeatedly at his sand-lot
gatherings, but it was not the proper thing to
do and the taking of the initiatory steps in
that direction required far more nerve than
KearneY or any of his mob could muster.
The one unfortunate thing in the entire agi-
empty but blatant words. He loudly advOcat-
ed the creation of a scaffold upon which to
hang the Chinese, but he very carefully took
no active step or greater part in its building.
In short, while he was the loudest-mouthed
advocate of mob violence, he was among the
best keepers of tie letter of the laws laid down
for the protection of life and property. Until
he SO far forgot himself as to violate some of
these laws, the better class of residents would
have no hold on him. He had thrice been on
trial for incendiary utterances, and as many
times indicated and triumphantly carried to
his sand lots ON the shoulders of his admirers.
While Mr.. De Young admitted that the Chi
nese quarter of San Francisco was closely
packed, and the mode of life therein such as to
render it public nuisance, he claimed tho
Chinese were thrifty, money-making and
economical class of people. whose pursuits, ex-
cept in the cigar and shoemaking interests, did
not in any manner conflict with the work of
those who were loudest in the cry of ''the Chi.
nese must CO." The Chinaman performed
skilled labor-his antagonists were principally
hod-carriers.
With thousands of others, Mr.. De Young
awaits with the greatest anxiety the course of
events which must necessarily follow in case
the health department order the Chinese quar-
ter demolished, it having already been voted a
public nuisance.

Democratic Unity in Ne,v York.
New York Herald, 7th.

From several senators and assemblymen
who were in town yesterday it was learned
that the proposed plan of issuing an invita-
ton in the name of the Democratic mem
bers of the legislature for consultation to
be held at Albany for the purpose of adjust
ing the differences which now disrupt the
party throughout the State has not by any
means been abandoned, but only holds fire.
The Kings county delegation are still
n-committal as to the course
they intend to pursue, but as soon as they
arrive at any definite conclusion active steps
will be taken to put the plan in operation.
The Tammany members say that the recent
demonstration by the Democratic union of
this city is calling general attention to the
necessity for the adoption of some measure
which will bring about the desired result,
and from the conciliatory temper shown in
certain quarters there is every reason to hope
that before the legislature adjourns and the
political campaign of 1880 begins the oppos-
ing elements will meet on common ground.
