TIE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

Congressman Page has introduced joint
resolution providing that the anniversary
of the discovery of America by Columbus
shall be observed as legal holiday in the
District of Columbia. There is no harm in
making new holiday, for they are all too
few at present, but the theory upon which
this discovery" business rests has al.
ways appeared to us somewhat irrational.
1t conveys the idea that there was 10
America before Columbus happened to see
the continent, whereas in sober truth that
navigator no more invented America than
Yankee in making his first trip across
the Atlantic invents Europe. Amer
lca managed to get ON very well
for several thousands of years before
Christopher Columbus was born. Whole
nations OF men fourished here in
those primitive times, and some of them
have left architectural and other remains
behind them demonstrating their posses
sion of quite as high civilization as the
contemporaries of Columbus enjoyed.
Europeans, however. with the conoeit and
arrogance common to poor humanity,
imagined that no country which was not
known to them could amount to anything.
And when they had discovered a coun-
try they coolly assumed the ownership of
it without asking the consent of its inhab.
itants, whom they regarded very convent.
emily as excluded from all rights by reason
of their pagsnism. It was a comfortable
theory for prosecuting robber. kings and
their ruffianly agents. but it seems to us
that it has lasted quite long enough, and
that it jars somewhat painfully with the
ideas of the nineteenth century.

TIE w1rHpRAwAL OF POSTER,

The withdrawal of Governor Foster from
the Senatorial candidacy in Ohio leaves the
way clear for Secretary Sherman, if he has
set bis heart upon the place. The action
of Mr.. Foster in withdrawing is spoken of
as extremely magnanimous, and it is to be
hoped that his motives were unselfsh,
though carping critics viii be sure to say
either that he found that he was beaten, or
that he was promised some other position.
It is almost impossible for politician to
get credit for disintsrested motives, and
perhaps one reason of this is that the
motives of politicians are in the majority
of cases not disinterested.

TIE NEGRO EXODUS.
True Cause Of the Movement.

wAsHrNoTov, March 10.-The Sem

ined George T. Ruby (coloredi. ed
itor of the New Orleans Observer.
He testified that the Louisiana exodus
movement originated among the
plantation Iaborers. and was the re-
suit of prosecutions of the political
mobs of 1874 and 1878. Organizing Is
a colonization council in August 1874,
Il spread rapidly from parish to par
ish, and permeated the State. particu-
larIy the sections known as the cotton
belt. where outrages had been most
frequent. Political leaders had moth
ing to do with it. The immediate in
ducIng cause Of the OF the New Or
leans convention, he said. was the
outrages committed In Louisiana
during the summer and autumn Of
1878. The effect upon the colored peo-
pie 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" !"
II is, he said, the denial of his politi-
cal rights, rather than his physical
condition, iamentable as II Is, that
causes this discoutent among the ne
groes. He admitted that there was
In New Orleans a large and increas-
ing class among white Democrats.
perhaps a majority. who deplored the
present condition of affairs. but those
who entertain this feeling are mer-
chants and capitalists naturally tim
Id, and exert no influence over politi-
cal leaders. The rabid men control
the party. and they are In the minor
Ity, but so long as the majority are
quiescent. and merely deprecate law
lessness. they cannot preventit.
Mr.. Ruby stated he thought nearly
8, 900 negroes had emigrated from the
State, most OF W hom had gone to Kan
sas. In the sugar-growing sections OF
the State a better feeling prevailed,
but in other parts the feeling Of dis
conf tent Is on the increase. and the In.
dications are that many more Will

Ex-senator Burcb, ofLouisiana, be-
fore the exodus COMMITTEES. said efforts
last winter by democrats to pass the
''chsin gang law" and the uncertain
ty Of the status OF colored people un-
der democratic rule prevented many
from making the usual labor contracts
In January and February this year,
and the result is already observed In
the large numbers Of colored people,
who have moved from the planting
districts into cities and towns on the
banks OF the rivers SO as to take ad-
vantage Of opportunities for transpor-
tstion to the west. He grouped the
causes of the exodus under five heads,
viz: Fear on the part of oolored peo-
pie. of class Legislation against them
by democratic legislators, fear Of In.
reference with their educational
privileges, uncertainty Of obtaining
homes, and insecurity in retaining
them, Interference with their relig-
ious and personal rights and fear of
Acknowledgement. He thought 1t not
improbable that protection of his peo-
pie In all their rights would produce
the effect upon them it has produced
in the case of Irish and German and
English immigrants. To the great
change in the political complexion of
voters In some parishes within the
last few years as shown by election
returns, he instanced Ouachita par
ish, where In 1876. from 200 to 500
republican and 400 to 500 democratic
votes we're cast, while at the last eIec-
ton the leading democratic candidate
polled 1.976 and the republican candi-
date only II votes. This and similar
changes he said were accomplished
by democratic county returning
boards.
In answer to Voorhees,. Burch said
the reason the colored men did not de.
fend themselves in parishes where
they largely outnumbered the whites.
was that these whites were men who
inaugurated and sustained rebellion.
vnd they had kept up their military
organization ever since, and bad an
army Of trained fighters to-day. 1t
was absurd to expect a negro with a
hoe in his hand to resist them.
Things are quieter now and there are
lees prosecutions thsO under republi-
can rule, but men are nevertheless be-
Ing driven away.

The bill which Secretary Schurz
yesterday presented to the joint COM
mittee, to carry into effect bis agree
ment with the Utes. provides that a
hundred and sixty acres OF land shall
be allotted to each Indian man. wom-
an, and child within their present
reservation on Grand River. but fifty
miles south Of the agency. In addi-
ton. the government is to pay them
a million and a quarter dollars, to be
invested in four per cents for their
benefit. Besides they are to be paid
an annuity OF twenty-five thousand
dollars per annum, which is due them
under the existing treaty. In addi-
tion to this. the government is to fur
nkh them three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars worth Of houses. q
saw-mill and grist.mili, and . sup
ply of horses, cattle, agricultural i'm
plements. and other farm equipments.
The one thing which the bill. singular
as it may seem, does not provide for
bestowing upon the savages isa dispo-
si,ion to 60 to work and use the agri-
cultural implements and supplies
aforesaid, and support themselves. as
their pale face brethren do. by honest
work. The bill further fails to pro-
vide for the fighting Utes who do not
Join In the agreement, and who go
unpublished for the massacre perpe-
trated by them. Naturally enough
the Colorado delegation is dissatisfied
with the bill. which neither provides
for rem owing the Utes out Of the way
Of the miners and actual settlers. nor
for Furnishing the outrages committed.
