The Truth About Kansas.

Mr.. John McQuade returned from hi
trip to Kansas last "Wednesday, where
as previously stated in these columns
he went for the purpose of hiring som.
Of the darkey exodusters. He brought
some ten or twelve back, with him
among them the darkey, John Walker
whose letter to Mr.. John Laycock w
published last week. Walker is ono Of
the "colored boys' that is q fixture IN
this country. Mr.. McQuade says the
colored men are exceedingly anxious te
return to LOuisiana, and would do 80
but the women drag them around by
the nose. and SO alarm them with out.
rageous stories of bulldozing and killing
i'll this section that they are Mortified at
the bare idea.
The Radical newspapers of that de.
lectable cline have afforded some sem
blance of the tlutho of these reports by pub.
fishing the most horrifying exaggera-
tions of the slightest piece of lawless-
ness. He also states that the negroes
are in ~ more destitute condition than
represented by the papers. Very few
have employment, and these only at
wages that barely keep soul and body
together. The greater part of them are
loafng about, begging what few crusts
of bread the more philanthropic Kan
slams will give them.
The negro preacher Palmer, who was
expelled from the pulpit at this place,
and went to Kansas, has been writing
back to some of the darkies in this par
ish that the darkies were fourishing in
Kansas, and that they were building
him church. Mr.. McQuade pronounce
es these statements false-that Palmer
has only managed to get possession o t
two dirty cabins near the river bank,
which he is renting to two darkies that
landed IN Kansas wilh some money at
seren dollars each
Palmer evidently bought these cabins
with money he swindlcd the negroes out
of while preaching for them at this place.
OF course now since he has become q
Kansas landlord, he wants all the dar-
kies to emigrate there.
In some instances the most horrible
suffering prevails among the darlics,
sickness of all kinds, and in few instan-
ces have they been relied by the philan-
thropy Of ,Radicalism. But though drag
gng ont miserable existence, they yet
struggle in the faint glamour of hope
which has for years characterized their
deluded heads that the Northern Rcpub-
licans would finally come to their res
cue safely cnsconse them in the cradle
of luxurious. idleness.
God help the poor creatures, for they
are utterly powcrlcss to help themselves
or to see the error of their inclinations.
it behooves our people, in the cause
Of fcommon charity, to extend the friend
ly hand of charity. In more ways than
one can this he DONE In the meantime,
let nothing left undonc that will bring
these people to understand that we will
protect them in their rights Of citizen
