The Senate Committee, consisting
of Messrs. Voorhees,, Vance, Pendle
ton, Winans and Blair, appointed to
investigate the causes of the exodus
of colored people from the Southern
States, commenced taking testimony
last week. The most significant
testimony was that of Judge B. earle
ton; of Terre Haute, who testified
that he is well acquainted with the
people of Vigo county and with the
condition of all that portion of
Indiana. There is no present de-
mand for farm hands or any other
kind of unskilled labor. On the
contrary there is an over supply and
the feeling of the people, including
a number of old colored residents
with whom he has conyersed, is de-
cidedly ayerse to the immigration
of destitute colored, people like the
North Carolina immigrants in ques
ton, and especially Is the general
impression is that they are brought
there only to vote" The Judge
tells the whole story.

Butler Co. Democrat.

Republican corruption has bub-
bled up wherever radicals have par
ticipated actively in politics. In
Minnesota they have repudiated, in
Louisiana committed forgery and
grand larceny and in Maine they
have attempted bribery and have
forcibly resisted law and order. In
Indiana they + colonizing negroes
and are devising a scheme to make
it feasible for the legislature of New
York to cast the electoral vote of
that state next fall. In the face of
all these facts stalwart organs have
the audacity to tell the people that
an honest administration of public
affairs can only be maintained by
the republican party. Such decla-
rations are as absurd and preposter-
Gus as they are grossly false. The
people want a change, and nothing
can save any party that has indorsed
crime and engaged in revolutions
for the sake of perpetuating the polit.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. q
The Penitentiary, the best mana
ged institution in the state, is to be
"reorganized' fer the benefit of the
Republicans. They must have all
the Offices, somehow, although they
said last fall that it was outrageous
to always be "reorganizing" the
state institutions. The Republicans
first set the precedent, the Demo
Gratis followed, and now the Repub-
licans are going to get back again
what the Democrats got from them.
The Democrats ought not to object.
"To the victors belong the spoils,"
and in 1881, when the Democrats
get the Legislature as they will,
there can be no excuse for Demo
Gratis for not going .fuU length in the
work of reorganization in state and
municipal institutions. Let the Re-
publican managers go it while they
have a chance. They L setting an
example that will return in the near

WASHINGTON, D. c.,

The House will close considera-
tions of its new rules this week. The
Speaker insists on finishing this
work before going on with legisla-
tion. Then will come the appropri-
alton bills, some of which are ready
to be reported.
Probably the Senate discussion of
the Bayard resolution, opened to-day
by Senator Beck, will not be very
long. There is unquestionably a
majority against the resolution, and
the majority will not waste time in
pioitless discussion.
Dissatisfaction over the appoint
ment of Census Supervisors is not
great. Mr.. Hayes, under the infu-
ence of Superintendent Walker, has
done better than was expected.
There were but few cases in which
he promised places to this or that
man, and did not keep his word
many lie S in proportion, than in con
nection with any offices heretofore
filed.
In General Fitz John Porter's
case, there is substantial agreement
in both Houses that the v~indication
by the board of inquiry should have
Legislative approval, and the only
question is as to the terms of the re-
quired act. All differences will be
settled soon, and the bill passed.
The Democratic Committee can
hardly do better than call the nomi-
mating convention in this city. We
can give'them the use of the new
museum building, the finest in the
world, and which will hold all the
people who wish to attend.
The selection of foreign Minister
just made is the work of Secretary
Evarts, and not of Mr.. Hayes. The
promotion of Mr.. Lowell, and the
appointments generally, seem to
give satisfaction.
Of course all good Democrats hope
to carry Illinois this year, but if we
cannot carry it, it is we'll for us to
hope that the Republicans will put
forward men of reputation to be hon
ored there, as is not always their
habit. This is preliminary to say
ing that General John B. Hawley,
now assistant Secretary of the Urea
sury, is a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor, and
seems to be ahead in the He
was appointed to his present posi-.
ton by Mir. Hayes, and confirmed
by the Senate without Democratic
opposition or reference, a very rare
occurrence. Previously he had serv.

MM SHARON, the San Francisco
millionaire, who misrepresents the
State of Nevada in the U. S. Senate,
although seldom in his seat, is a
gentleman who has fine notions as to
what our government ought to be.
In a recent conversation at Wash
ington, he said of this years coming
events:
Without bloodshed-and rivers f
it-there will be no political change
Of administration. The money in
terests of the country for self-preser-
walton must sustain the Republican
party. The railroads, the :manufac
turers, the heavy importers, and all
classes of business in which millions
are invested, will maintain the su
premacy of the Republican party.
Democratic success would be bank
ruptcy to them. To avert bloodshed,
a strong central government should
be established as o o as possible.
Mr. Sharon is an ardent Grant
man and was one of the givers of
the Grant banquet in San Francisco
at which the bills of fare were en-
graved on slabs of precious metals.
Under the "strong government"
Sharon would calculate to be Duke
of Nevada or something of hat sort.

The Mass Temperance Conven-
ton called by the ministers TO meet
in Eaton, on the 23d inst, was slim,
very slim indeed, the number in at
tendance not exceeding sixty per-
sons. It was to assemble at 1O1 a.
M, but there were not enough to eff
feet an organization in the morning,
and only by hard efforts did they
get in a sufficient number to do so
at II o'clock. The mistake in pub
fishing it for the oath instead Of the
Odd. and the terrible condition of the
roads, no doubt contributed largely
to the failure in ATTENDANCE, but the
town of Eaton alone should have
filled the Hall with advocates in the
cause, and the fact that so few turned
out does not speak very loud praise
for temperance here, nor exhibit a
great ~upheaval in u midst on the
question. We a only account for
this lack of zeal and interest for
temperance in Eaton, because of the
want Of confidence in the workers
and leaders enlisted in it, and in say
ing this we intend no personal re-
Election upon the character or stan
ding of our good ministers. There
is certainly an abundance of material
around US to start a big "boLm,"
and if the reason given by us, which
is shared in by many good and hon
est temperance men with whom we
have talked upon the subject, is not
the correct one, then we are open for
conviction. In the only two speeches
made to the meeting, by Revs. Her
man and Blackford, the truth was
broadly limited that the temperance
men were not true to themselves,
but teo often permitted party to in
fuence them on the side of intern
peraAce. They argued that it was
their Christian duty to vote for none
but sober, moral and upright men,
no matter to what party they belong
ed, which was the only way success
would crown their efforts. Just
what We have been telling these tenn
perance advocates around here
that their professions were loud but
their practice very poor, and that is
why the business busts up, or is
suspended every year a little while
before the election.

Then and Now.


1t was decided once by eight emf
nent republican j%urists of the cleo
toral commission that the certificate
is prima facie evidence CT election
and that any evidence to the contrary
is aliunde. According to republican
logic it is not even competent to in
quire how the holder of a certificate
came by it. The fact that he has it
ends the matter and he is entitled
to act in accordance Herewith.
This is ''logic' which the republican
party has declared good and by
virtue of which the present occupant
of the Presidential chair holds his
office. We see no reason why q
Legislature so composed" cannot
pass valid statutes, just as well as a
President so chosen can perform
valid executive acts. We r not
arguing the question as to whether
this is democratic logic or not, but
simply make a point that it is "logic'
which republicans have pronounced
sound, and would be pleased to know
why it don't apply just as well now
as it did in the spring of 1875.

A colored Presbyterian minister in
North Carolina, writing to the New
York Evangelist in regard to the ne
gro exodus from that state, speaks
of it as utter folly and madness.
He says: "This North Carolina exc
dus is nothing but tramping, instead
of toiling, by people who are the
drones of the colored race, who find
more pleasure in wandering from
place to place than in working from
day to day, and who are ignorant OF
the fact that God has said, by the
pen of Moses and Paul, In the sweat
of thy face thou shalt eat bread,
and If any would not work, neither
should he eat Here the colored
have a good chance and a good eli
mate, and yet some want to go to
Indiana to freeze to death for want
of clothing, food and work"

The Maine difficulty at present
seems 10 he quieted down and the
danger Of any violent outbreak about
passed. The F~usionist Governor
says they ''rely upon the Constitu-
ton and tie laws of the State, and
the honest judgement of the people"
for vindication, which from past ap-
p~earance we fear, will prove a broken
reed, because the Republicans ofthe
State have no respect for the law or
Constitution against their determi-
nation to hold power, and they are
backed by a partisan and unscrupu-
lous Supreme Court.

The Columbus Journal, (Rep.,)
in view of the fact that NO less than
five bills have been introduced into
the LegislatuEe-and all nearly in
the same language-for redistricting
the State for Congressional purposes,
says: alt is most respectfully sub
mitted to the General Assembly that
the printing of three, four, or more
bills on the same subject, and, it
may be, couched in the identical
same language, does not smack
much economy and reform in legis-
lative methods"

In a speech before the Republican

In a speech before the Republican
Rump Legislature in Maine, on
Wednesday, Senator Blaine said:
Impartial suffrage is our theory.
1t must become the practice. Any
party of American citizens can bear
to be defeated; no party of American
citizens will bear to be cheated"
These are fine words from one who
joined in the successful conspiracy
to cheat a party of American citizens
out of a President whom they had
fairly elected.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
THE third-term question is upon the
Republicans. They must discuss it
thoroughly and at once. Gen. Grant
is a candidate for the next term of
the Presidency, and is to be weigh
ed and measured as such. He wants
the office as badly as any man want
ed to be reelected to Congress.
