The Colore d Exodus.

If Dan Voorhees, of the Exodus Com
mittee is not desirous of ascertaining
the true inwardness of the flight of the
coloreG people from the South he VIII
be obliged to cut short his inquiry pro-
ceedings. After Voorhees, had sum-
moned the ruff-scuff of the, Democracy,
who were supposed to be able to give a
political coloring to the exodus, and
squeezing from them everything that
would tend to support his predeter-
mined opinions on the subject, the Re-
publicans are now bringing forward a
few witnesses of acknowledged repu-
tation and intelligence. and the con-
sequence is that bright light is being
thrown upon the whole question, and
the dark and devilish wars of the
Southern political mobs made clearly
apparent. Yesterday, George l. Ru-
by, colored, was examined. He is ed
itor of the New Orleans Observer, and
a man of ability and worth. AWash-
ington dispatch thus reports his testi-
mOny: 5 ~ t ..,--ssf.,- flo-
He testified that the Louisiana exodus
movement originated among the plantation
of the political mobs of 1874 and fs.5. Organ
iZng as colonization council in August,
and permeated the State, particularly the sec
tions known as the cotton belt, where out
RACES had been most frequent. The imme-
diate inducing cause of the New Orleans l. IN
vention, he said, was the outrnges committed
in Louisiana during the summer and autumn
of 1878. The effect upon the colored people of
the lawlessness which he said had prevailed
throughout the State, was to .incite them to
go anywhere out of the hell in which they
lived" 1t is, he Said, the denial of his polit-
ical rights, rather than bis physical condition,
lamentable as it is, that causes this discomfort
among the negroes. He admitted that there
was in New Orleans q large and increasing
class among white Democrats, perhaps a ma
jority, who deplored the present con iition of
affairs, but those who entertain this feeling
are merchants and capitalists, naturally
timid, and exert no influence over political
leaders. The rabfd men control the party,
ard they are in the minority, but, so long as
the majority are quieseent, and merely depre-
cate lawlessness, they cannot prevent it. Mr..
Ruby stated he thought nearly three thousand
Degroes had emigr,ted from the State. most
of whom had gone to Kansas. In the sugar
growing sections of the State better feeling
prevailed but in other parts the feeling of
discomfort is on the increase, and the indica-
tions are that many more will leave this
spring. Ts-. . -..-. -4-.

A DroIl Dilemma.

If mans actual existence should not
be accepted as evidence of his having
been born, it would be very difficult for
him to prove itotherwise. But in Ger
many, if az American could not estab-
lish his birth in some other way than
by his existence, he would be in q very
absurd or even in q very pitiful condi-
ton. The American infant usually
announces his own birth in an unmis-
taxable manner. But still Austria is
not satisfied without an official certif-
cate of the eself-evidentfact. An Amer
lean gentleman and his wife, living in
Vienna with their young family, were
compelled to send home for certificates
of the birth of their children, that they
might be admitted to school. tl
An American mother in Leipsic,
whose daughter was about to be mar
ried in that city, learned to her amaze
ment that the Government would not
permit the marriage to take place until
the mother could prove by properly
attested certificate that her daughter
had been born. Nor was this all. Her
only son and support, q youth OF twen-
ty, was ordered into the army, and he
pleaded in vain that he was an Ameri-
can citizen, born in New York. The
authorities demanded the birth record,
and the despairing mother wrote to New
York and certificate was sent to her.
But another American mother in an
Austrian village could not procure doc
umentary evidence that her daughter
had been legally born, and the girl was
refused admittance to the school.
1t is estimated that there are hun
dred such cases every year. They oc-
cur chiefly, of course, among families
of German descent. and they make the
Bureau of Vital Statistics a very inn
portant office for that class of American
citizens. The German laws upon the
subject are very stringent, and they are
essential to perfect census. Our own
system has been less exact, but we see
with pleasure that Mr.. Fiske, of Rich
mond County, has introduced a bill in
the New York Legislature, which has
been favorably reported, which pro-
vides that a registry Of marriages,
births and deaths shall be made at the
clerks Office in every town and village,
the expense to be q county charge.
Under such law, it will be every
Americans fault, wherever he may be,
if he cannot prove by the most salts
factory evidence that he was BORN

The Art Of Writing.

We wonder sometimes, as we wade
through a mass of correspondence,
whether it is possible to teach good
writing. The doubt may seem absurd,
considering that the majority of civil
lied mankind can write, that every
qualified teacher among 100000 or
zoe, coo in Western Europe thinks him.
self or herself competent to teach the
art, and that there must be some hum
dreds of men in England, or possibly
some thousands, who make q living of
some sort by practicing this specially.
Every body, we shall be told. Is taught,
and some few people write well. and
consequently to teach people to write
well must be possible: Still, we have
this little bit of evidence in favor of
hesitation. Nobody ever saw any
body who wrote thoroughly good
hand, and who had been regularly
taught to do SO. Good handwritings
exist, undoubtedly, and are, we should
say, rapidly on the increase; but the
possessors Of the art never admit that
they acquired it through teaching, and in
the majority of cases never were taught.
When cross-examined they always af-
firm that some man or woman taught
them to write, and that then q certain
inclination or .compulsion of circum-
stance, or desire to do everything well,
or, in frequent instances, q caste-feel-
ing, provoked them to teach them
selves to write well. They were not
taught, except in the most rudimen-
tary sense of the word, and we don't
know how they should be. Tutors and
governesses have all caught up q sys-
tenn from the professional writing mas
ters, and the professional writing mas
ters are all dominated by two ideas,
which are radically false. We always
glance over the books they publish,
and have read through a new one this
week, which we do not intend to ad-
vertise in this article, as they are all
alike. They all think that " "copper-
plate writing," the special hand of
writing masters and bank clerks, is
good writing, which it is not, being
devoid of character, far too regular in
form and, from the multiplicity of fine
upstrokes, not easy to read; and they
all believe that certain mechanical mo-
tions, if carefully taught, will produce
do do not. There never were two
people yet in this world of ours
who wrote exactly alike or who
have the same control of their
fingers or who ought, in order to
produce good writing, to have held
their pens alike, and the effort to make
them do it only spoils their natural ca
pabilities. No doubt those capabilities
are often naturally very small. The
number of persons who are by nature
not deft with their fingers is very large,
and so is the number Of those who can
Der of those who can do nothing well
which they must do rapidly probably
exceeds both. The difficulty Of teach
ing a grown man to write decently is
almost tinconceivable-he seems never
to see what is wanted-and something

The following was Mr.. Ruby's testi-
mony as reported by, the Associated
Press on the 11th: --, r..,,y.....s o.,

The Senate Exodus Committee continued
the examination of Ruby, editor OF the New
Orleans Observer He mentioned several par
ishes in Louisiana where, he said, negroes as
general thing were not allowed to vote unless
exceptions, however, I'm some localities where
the conservative white planter element was
strong enough to see fair play, and allowed
the negroes all voted, Notwithstanding the
fact that the reign of terror was intense, be
cause they had white Repr blicans who worked
manfully to lead in the political fight.
Senator Window asked witness IL he would
feel apprehensive on account OF the evidence
he had given here in visiting the localities
where he had testified that outraxes had oc-
Cured. To this, witness replied that he
would, and further remarked that the fact
alone of his publishing a Republican newspa-
per I'm New Orleans was sufficient to make him
feel apprchensive for his safety If he visited
these localities. He had no fear, however, OF
molestation in New Orleans. % .-,1i-s irs -4t

IN THE OHIO CASE
the Court holds:

q (Originall Ex parte Augustus F. Clarke,
petitioner. This was a petition for discharge
upon a writ Of habeas corpus. Clarke, the pc
duly appointed under the laws of the State,
and acted as such judge at the Congressional
election of October 9, 1878. He was indicted
i'm the United States Circuit Court under Sec
ton 5.5l5 of the Revised Statutes for official
misdemeanors-viZ., a violation of the laws of
Ohio in not conveying the baliot-box, after it
had been sealed up and delivered to him for
that purpose, to the County Clerk, and in al
lowing II to be broken open. Upon this in
dfctment he was tried, convicted and sem
fenced to imprisonment. He now petitions
this court for discharge upon writ of habeas
corpus granted by Justice Strong at chambers
in August, 1873. The grounds for the applica-
tion are that the Circuit Court had no juris-
diction, and that the statutes under which the
petitioner was convicted are unconstitutional.
This court holds that Congress had full power
to pass the law under which conviction was
bad, and that the United States Circuit Court
had Jurisdiction of the offense. For the
grounds upon which this decision is based, the
court refers to its opinion in the case of
Sebold ct al, where they are fully set forth.
The petition is denied, and the petitioner re-
manded to the custody of the United States
Marshal. -

City Court Notes.

In the City Court yesterday morning the notorious John Van Dyke, charged with indecent assaults on several children, had his case continued until June 10 at the request of Prosecuting Attorney Pickett. The bonds for his appearance were fixed at $1, ,O00.
 The cases of Joseph Sliney, aged fourteen, William Rheim, aged twelve, and Bernard McKiernan, aged fourteen, charged with as- saulting boy named Myron Cammerer, last Friday, were before the court and all pleaded not guilty. The case was continued until this morning in order that boy named Fan ming, who was witness to the affray, might be brought into court.
 Charles Washington, who with other col bred people was engaged in general breach of the peace in Stevens Alley on Sunday, was fined $1 and costs. The other parties were discharged, it appearing that Washing ton was at fault.

after the example of our fathers in the dayr of revolution and of our brothers in the days of rebellion. And, whatever be the result, oi one thing we may be persuaded, that in the determination of all matters involving the peace, the safety and the honor of the cuun. try, the survivors of the war of the rebellion upon either side will be found shoulder to shoulder. To their courage and patriotism there can be no vain appeal
 As we gather to-day around the graves of our fallen sons and brothers to strew there on the fragrant flowers of early summer we recall with lively gratitude their sublime courage and loyalty. We remember the
 magnitude of the sacrifice which they so free
 ly made, and above their honored dust we re- new our vows of allegiance to that cause to
 which they yielded up their blood and lives.
 We pause above their graves while we strew
 them with sweet flowers and water them with
 our tears-that we may gather fresh courage
 from the blessed memories, and derive a high
 and sacred inspiration for the duty of our
 civil lives.
 On the conclusion of MT Samson's
 eloquent address, of which the above is
 only an abstract Mir McCarthy intro duced Rev pr Bacon, who made 8
 brief address. He urged upon those pres ent the duty of perpetuating the deeds and valor of those brave men who had died to save the glorious inheritance handed down to us by our fathers. On conclusion of Dr Baeon's remarks, the exercises were closed with singing America, ]" the band playing an accompaniment. As the last strains of this grand old tune died away, the large crowd slowly departed to their several homes, no doubt deeply impressed with the importance of the occasion.
 In Bridgeport flags were displayed at half mast from many residences and buildings some of the stores wore appropriate decora- tions and notices, and many places of busi- ness were closed, out of respect to the day. At one o'clock tho procession, consisting of the members of the Grand Army led by @ drum corps and platoon of police, and fol- lowed by carriages and citizens on foot, formed on Broad street and marched to Sea side Park. The exercises took place in the grove, where platform had been erected for the speakers. After an address by Rev Dr Powers, the reading of poem by Col Sum- ner, and singing by chorus of school chil- dren under the direction of MT W G Line burg, the comrades proceeded to the monu- ment and laid flowers around and upon it ac- cording to the usual custom.
