The Close OF a Farce,

Exit the exodus, the Exodus Commit
tee, the exodus investigation, and Dan
Voorhees,. The farce is over, the cur
tain is rung down, and the people of
this country, who were the audience,
have had to pay $4,000 for the silly
show. Mr.. Dan Voorhees, mountain
has labcred for weeks, and has brought
forth a mouse, and q little one at that
Mr.. Voorhees, moved for this investi-
cation, and has conducted it with the
view of showing that the exodus of ne
grOes from North Carolina to Indiana
was trick of the Republican managers
to colonise Southern Indiana with col
ored voters in sufficient numbers to
secure the vote of the State for the Re-
publican ticket, though ostensibly his
purpose was TO inquire into the causes
OF the exodus from a labor point of
view. The animus Of the investigation,
however, was apparent before it was a
day old. The witnesses summoned
were Democrats who were hostile to
the negro. Some had been engaged in
detrauding the negro of his political
rights. Some had defrauded him of
the fruits of his labor Nearly all of
them were prejudiced witnesses and in
sympathy with the infamous practices
of bull-dozing. Now and then, how
ever, Mr.. Voorhees, fell into his own
trap, and was confronted by witnesses
who had not been properly coached,
and told the truth, while upon cross
examination it was established out of
the mouths of his own witnesses that
the Democratic version of the exodus
was false from beginning to end.
What is the result of Mr.. Voorhees,
Investigations He has piled up an im-
mense mass of testimony which no one
will ever read He has shown that
about 600 negroes, all told, have gone
into mdiana-a number too small to
make even ripple in politics or 70 in
huence even a close election, as several
of these GOO have already been driven
away by Democratic mobs of bullies and
assasins OF the Yazoo sort. Out of the
mouths of his own witnesses the minority
of the Committee have proved that these
negroes left North Carolina for the
reason that victims of oppression
always flee from their oppressors. 1t
has been shown that the negro was not
allowed his political rights or any of the
