eought 10 escape the oppression and wrongs
by peaceable and orderly departure for
other sections of the country where the
rights of citizenship, property and life
would be respected. For this grave offense
the colored race of this Nation are prrGii;s;;aivti
at the bar Of Senatorial committee at
great expense to the country when nearly
ali that has transpired before that commit
tee of any Importance to hequcstion shows
most conclusively that the exodus Is more
than justi6ed-it is demanded in vindica-
tion Of the manhood, to say nothing of the
citizenship, of the colorcd race.
Still the exodus investigation goes on,
and witnesses are being summoned from all
sections of the South, Indiana and Kansas
at the expense Of untold thousands Of
dollars of tho National treasure. A letter
from an intelligent correspondent, who
writes from Shreveport, La, TO THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN,, and which finds q
place in this issue, affords some clue to the
extent and drift of this investigation. An

THE EXODUS INVESTIGATION.

Senator VOORHEES,, in conducting the
exodus investigation, seems to be inspired
by the ambitious prOmptings of the young
man who started out on his first lark and
was admonished by friend not to be so
lavish in the expenditure of his money.
"Oh, dang the expense" he replied dads
"rich. Set 'em up again m Because the
Government is rich and the vaults of the
Treasury are plethoric with wealth Senator
VOORHEES, seems to think that he can push
his exodus lark regardless of expense. Soil
tnry and alone he put this ball in motion
The objective point has not rs yet been
made apparent by anything that has been
developed, and still the investigation goes

more and more clearly that there has been
abundant cause for general hegira Of the
colored people Of the South nom that re-

citizen not only desirable, but indispensable

was the purpose OF this investigation TO con-

causes for the exodus, it has utterly failed,

are perfectly complacent and unmoved in
the midst of this Literary Bureau war. His
friends, out of respect to Senator BLAINE

neither of their respective States to
snatch away the morsel that belongs
to each. 1t is due to Senator BLAINE that
