SENATOR VOORHEES, COMMITTEE.

| notwithstanding the sneera Of Republi-
cans, and the Indifference Of some Democrats
as well. the exodus committee organized In
compliance with the resolution OF Senator
Voorhees, seems likely to expose the political
orr gin OF the negro movement In such man.
ner as will not be calculated to add to the
strength OF the Republican party In the
States where the so-called immigrants are to
ment at the coming State and presidential
elections. In the matter Of the exodus from
North Carolina to Indiana 1t has already
been clearly shown that weII-matured plan
has been concocted by certain Republican
leaders for the accomplishment OF the double
purpose Of diminishing the census of the first
mentioned State. which is unquestionably
Democratic, and increasing the Republican
vote In the last named State which Ia re-
garded by some as doubtful, 1t has been
further demonstrated by the testimony of
promin citizens Of Indiana that there la
no demand ia that State for additional
laborers; that, on the contrary. the sup
ply Is already fully equal to, II not
In excess of. the demand. and that in
consequence the working classes there re-
cucumber the State with surplus population
which liz likely to nave no other effect than
reduction OF wages, that are already down to
mere living standard The objection to the
negroes In Indiana. as we'll ae In Kansas and
other Western States, is not, therefore, on
account Of their color particularly; for 1t may
be assumed that the working people OF any
OF the densely populated districts OF the
country will look with displeasure upon the
advent OF a class OF labOrera, be they white,
red or black, that are brought unnecessarily
In competition with them for bread and
butter, and II the signs OF the times,
which are already beginning to appear,
are worthy OF note, the leaders who have been
instrumental In bringing about this state OF
affairs will be held to a strict accountability
when an opportunity shall present itself at
the baliot-box. AZ evidence of the reaction
that Is likely to take place in Indiana, 1t Is
said that some OF the Democratic journals Of
the State openly challenge the Republican
leaders to do their worst claiming that the
votes of the negro tmportations will be more
than counter balanced by the acoessions Of
white workingmen from the Republican
to the Democratic ranks. 1t is thus
made apparent that Senator Voorhees, has
taken a wise step in the matter OF checkmat-
ing movement which is not only disgraoeful
to the party In behalf OF which 1t was inaugu-
rated, but possesses all the clements OF sys-
tematic cruelty In the enticement Of an igno-
rant and contiding people to certain suffer-
ing ard misery, and almost equally certain
death.

Grau Opera B0uffe Company some weeks ago,
although We conceded that, In It's line, that
company was far superior to any OF It's rivals.
How much more. them are we justified in
protesting against a similar pretension on
the part OF the Abbott Company, which has no
quality OF superiority. There are score Of
young ladies In New Orleans who have better
voices and are better singers than Miss Alb
bott, and whilst we do not say that Miss Alb
bott is not worth listening to-for her per-
formsnces are very good indeed-we most
positively resent being called upon to pay
tribute to her as a phenomenon. The fact Is
that this sort OF imposition is getting to be a
bore. New Orleans seems to be especially
marked out for It by theatrical organizations
whose claims are not tempered by accurate
appreciation OF their own merit. Liberties are
taken here that are not attempted with other
communities, and. though the good sense OF
our own people invariably rehuke them, there
are times such as the present. when eonsoa-
ton for such rebuke can easily be found In the
harvest reaped from our guests. Perhaps.
therefore, nothing that the press may say
will bear visible fruit at such a season as the
present. when the city Ia filled to OVERLOOKING
with strangers who are bent on pleasure and
not disposed to be Uver-crttical: but II Ia none
the less fact that the Abbott Company In
demanding a larger price than the usual one
charged Mt the Varieties. are taking advan-
tage Of the community and the occasion, and
are suggesting an inquiry into their merits
which they cannot satisfactorily answer.

The National Republican Convention will
consist Of 7SS delegates, and $40 votes will be
required to elect OF these Grant has already
secured ffty-eight from Pennsylvania, is as
oured OF seventy from New York, aud Is rea-
s0nably certain of forty-two from Illinois
This gives him 10 TO start on. He requires
100 more. The South Is entitled to 2i6 OF the
entire number OF delegates The Grant men
expect to secure at least one-half Of these Il
their calculation is correct on this point, they
viii lack only stxty-two votes to secure the
nomination Of their favorite 1t will require
some pretty hard work on the part Of the
Blaine and Sherman men to prevent Grant
from getting the necessary number from the
292 delegates remaining to be accounted for
In the Northern States. As things look at
present he has almost walk over. Sher-
man Is nearly out OF the race. and
Blaine Is bad second. There ts
no telling, however. what surprising
changes may occur Id the next few weeks.
The action OF the Pennsyi vania convention
demoralixd the anti-Grant men, aud gave a
great impetus to the third term N ,vement.
The action OF the Illinois convention may give
The movement death-blow and revive the
dropping fortunes of Blaine and Sherman
The latter will probably see to it that he does
not lose any more ground In the South, II the
entire revenue service has to be reconstructed

shows what can be done BY . iudicious dis
tributon OF Offices, and he may Pc expected 70
follow It up In other States.

OUR STATE UNIVERSITY.

In discussing matter OF such grave I'm
portance to the people Of the whole State as
the management OF the State University, the
greatest care should be taken to examine
thoroughly into the duties and responsible
ties Of those who have been placed In charge,
and who must, OF course, be held to strict
accountability for their acts. It Is essen
TALLY necessary to know where the RESPONSE
bility properly rests In order to ascertain
upon whom blame should attach In the
event OF any acknowledgement Under the
law. the Governor Is president of the Board
Of Supervisors the members Of which are
all gentlemen Of recognized ability and high
standing. This board has the supreme con-
troll, an the superintendent OF the college
acting under Its instructions. Is directly
responsible to 1t for his acts. as it,
In turn. Is responsible to the
people for the conduct OF the institution.
Hence the complaints which have appeared
In some OF our exch ing y Of the superinteni-
ent, aud the antagonlsms which are evInced
In Baton Rouge to his method Of govern
ment seem to US TO be mi sdrected II the
evils complained Of exist, 1t would be more
logical to eensure the Board OF Supervisors,
and not the officer Of the board charged with
the execution OF duties which are imposed
upon him, and which, In the very nature Of
things, he must either perform or be guilty
of serious offense
There are generally two sides to question,
aud friends OF the University who have given
this matter much reflection incline to the
opinion that the complaints are not well
founded, and that 1t the suzxes lions recently
made By correspondent OF the Gupitolian
were adopted 1t would result disastrously to
the g diversity and to the cause of education
10 the State. Let US glance at these sugges-
tions seridtim:

The Republican Legislature OF Ohio ha

The Republican Legislature OF Ohio has
redlstricled the State and thereby restored
the old gerrymander. By the new distribu.
ton the Republicans calculate to have four
teen OF the twenty members OF Congress-
Under the Democratic distribution, at which
they 10 loudly complained two years ago. the
Democrats secured eleven members Of Con
gress and the Republicans nine. This was
fAir division, the State having gone Dem o.
cratic In the previous election by handsome
plurality. IL the Republicans had arranged
10 reverse these figures there could be no
good ground for complaint. but when they
take more than two-thirds Of the entire dele
cation they commit an outrage upon the
people OF Ohio and representative govern
ment generally. Their shameful manipula-
tou Of the districts is apt to be remembered
next fail to their disadvantage.

A THEATRICAL IMPOSITION.

1t seems to us that the management OF the
Abbott Opera Company are making mistake
In raising the prices OF admission to the Va
riettes Theatre during their engagement. We
can see no reason, In the first place. why there
should be an increase. The Abbott Opera
Company is not SO much superior to the av-
erage entertainment given at the Varieties as
to justify such pretension. Our people have
been In the habit Of hearing quite as good
music, quite as well Interpreted, for the usual
price. LII Miss Abbott were a great singer
and artist, and If her support were made up
Of eminent performers. the case might be diff
ferent. People expect to pay little more
under those circumstances. They know that
phenomena come higher than mediocritiee,
and they seldom grumble. But none OF these
conditions exist here. Miss Abbott, despite
the claims set up for her by her advertising
man, is not by any means great singer or q
gifted artist. We have had her In New Or
leans already, and we state 1t as fact, about
which there can be no dispute, that she Inn
pressed no one with conviction Of her
eminence. Her performances are pleasant
and tuneful, and they serve exeellently we'll
to while away an evening. But there is not
single element Of the grand, the thrilling
or the phenomenal In them, from beginning to
end, and not single consideration upon
which to base a demand for higher prices
than are paid other entertainments at the
same theatre. We are bound to say for Man
ager Hall that he secures for the patrons OF
the Varieties the best class Of talent upon the
road; which being the case, 1t seems unques-
tionable that uniformity OF price should be
maintained. No one, we presume, will under
take to say that the Abbott Opera Company
comprises any stronger attractions than did
the Union Square Company. which was here
earlier In the season. Why. then, should the
public be asked to pay more for the former
than for the latter?
We entered the same complaint against the
