THE SOUTHERN EXODUS.

a Promised DepopulatiDn of Mississippi
to Occur Next Year.
Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
st. Louis, Aug. 4.-Notwithstanding
the crops and the general prosperity in
the south, the peace and quiet, as COM
pared with former years, when horrors
were constantly heard of, it seems that
the political leaders of the colored race
are determined there shall be wholesale
exodus from the cotton states. The lead
ing spirits in the movement are no long
er white republicans, as has been sup
posed and charged. There are in this
city, at present, two prominent colored
politicians who are organizing what is to
be known as the knights Of the Free
Lance. A monster meeting has already
been held here, and Others are advertised
to take place. The constitution and by
laws show the organization one which
will demand that the colored vote be
in the past, and that the republicans
shall distribute more offices among their
colored allies; that they are tired of be-
ing drawers Of water and hewers of wood:
that they will see that their full voting
strength is polled. and when it is fairly
counted they shall be recognized They
pledge themselves true to the republi-
can party and its principles, but they
want less taffy and more offices for their
race.
Hannibal Carter, who was Grant del
egate to the Chicago conventions and who
was prominent leader in his party in
Mississippi, is here working up this
movement, and he says that he is but the
forerunner of one hundred thousand col
ored people who will emigrate from Mis-
sissippi to Missouri. He is here now, he
claims, in their interest, making prepar-
ations for transportation by rail and
river, and engaging lands and places fol-
them when they arrive. They will not
leave as paupers. Crops are good, and
oil are Mt work; and when they get thei,
money and dispose of what they have in
Mississippi, the exodus will commence
Next spring he proposes the wholesale
depopulation shall commence in earnest
and Missouri will be overrun and #.
democratic majority overcome.
Another emissary is a colored physician
and politician named DIR. Geo. Bryant, {
strong, healthy looking mulatto, educat
ed and ardent. He was formerly speak
er of the Alabama house of representa-
tives, afterward on the board of healtl
i'll New Orleans, and for the past sever
years resided in Louisiana. He, too. saw,
he comes as the representative of IS ,OW
negroes, who propose to emigrate, bu
has not yet decided whether It shall b,
to Illinois, Missouri or Kansas. II,
means to bring them, he declares, an,
says when the state is without "nigger'
labor, the lilly white hands of the womel
OF the south can do the cooking ant
washing, and the young white men mus
raise the cotton, for his people are boun,
to leave.
The knights of the Free Lance are in
; creasing in numbers here. The move
ment takes like hot cakes,and these lead
ers are jubilant.

raxa.1on Of national hanks.

The recent act of the Supreme Court
of the United State in pronoancing on
the taxation of National Bank stock
affects the interests of this State ma
iterially. The Ohio Legislature pass
ed law providing for the taxation of
National Bank shares on their full val
ue, although, as a rule, other property
is assessed at only 40 per cent. OF its
face value. The Merchants, National
Bank of Toledo, Ohio, brought suit
against the Treasurer OF Lucas county,
in that State, in order to test the legal
ity of the Legislatures action. The
complaint on the part of the bank was
that while it's shares were assessed at
full value, all real estate and personal
property owned by individuals were
assessed at 40 per ceat. OF such value.
The matter was brought before the
United States Circuit Court for the
Northern District of Ohio, and that
tribunal held that the act of the Leg
islature was unconstitutional. The
Court also held that the law was in
violation of the constitution of the
State, which provided that laws
should be passed taxing by "uni-
form rule all money, credits and
investments in bonds, stocks, j oint stock
companies and all real and personal
property according to its real value in
money A case similar to the Ohio
case, was that of the First National
Bank of Carlisle, Pa. A share holder
in the bank set up the claim that his
shares should not be assessed because
the Legislature had exampted certain
other .moneyed capital from taxa
ton. The Supreme Court of the State
held that it could not haye been the
intention of Congress to exempt bank
shares from taxation because some
moneyed capital was exempt. The
bankers consider, however, that the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the Williams case settles the
Pennsylvania case as. well as all others
of the same nature, Other examples
showing the widespread effect of the
decision in question might be given.
Being the act of the highest judicial
tribunal in the land, it is an authorita-
tive exposition of the meaning of the
national law relating to the subject of
taxation. It is held that in all States,
where legislative enactment on this
subject discriminstes against or in
favor of any kind of real estste or per-
sonal property in the matter of taxa.
| tion, it is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A GREAT RIVER, IN ALASKA.


Alaskan explorers report one of the
largest rivers in the world, the Yukon,
as navigable for steamers two thous
and five hundred miles, and at five
hundred from its mouth it receives
very large navigable tributary. The
basin formed by the confluence is "a
miles wide. The Yukon Is nearly as
large as the Mississippi. Indians are
everywhere and war between tribes is
continuous. There is snow for six
months, and, without roads, dog
sledges find good travelling. Game
abounds, aud Indians have an easy
life. From seven to nine dogs make a
team, the odd one being the leader.
The driver has to watch this dog. If
it gets on the scent of game it is off
and the whole team is demoralized.
OFF they soamper through the woods
and thickets, upsetting the load,
smashing the sled, tearing the harness,
and giving the driver days of hunting
to restore the statu quo. So vast a
country, traversed by navigable wat.
ers, will soon tempt restless and spec.
ulative adventurers to explore it.

Don't Judge him by his family con-

Don't judge man by his failure in

is too honest to succeed.

Don't judge man by the house he

The result of the Republican Conven-
ton in Illinois WAS looked for by the
politicians here with eager interest, and
now that il Il known il only confirms
more surely the views expressed in this
correspondence last week. The leaders
of the Grant movement mean to nom
mate Grant at all hazards, il they can.
They have gone too far tn draw back,
and there is not much doubt now that
they will succeed. But if by any COM
binatiOn of circumstances they tail to
secure the required number of votes,
they intend that the candidate shall
not bc James q. Blaine. Another of
those unfortunate blows which always
seem to hit Blaine at the critical mo-
mcnt struck him below the belt this
week. The letter of Mr.. James =.
George, charging corruption in procur-
ing the land grant for the Texas Pacific
railroad, created u decided sensation,
and, while MIR. Bliine's name is not
mentioned, il is understood that the
most startling revelations relate to him.
Mr.. George claims To hold documentary
evidence Ia sulIstantiate all his charges
and is urging an investigation. IL is
believed that il the charges prove To he
a. serious us is alleged, the Committee
on Pacific Railroads will ask the House
for authority To make an investigation.
Ii, however, it should appear that the
charges relate solely To previous Con-
gress, and not affect members or pro-
ceelings of the present Congress, il is
not likely that an investigation will bc
ordered.
The resolution of the House provid-
ing for adjournment on the 3lst inst.
could he carried into effect So far rs the
appropriations are concerned, for they
are nearly all passed or well advanced,
but there are other things that should
receive attention. Appropriation bills
are Indispensable to the successful run
ming Of government machinery, but
they do not comprise the whole duty of
Congress, and those Democrats who as
sumo that they are sent here merely to
vote supplies to the administration make
Il great mistake. The last two national
resolved that it is the duty
of Congress to make some revision of
our unequal and n-Democratic tariff.
Since the last convention the party has
come into full control of both houses of
Congress, yet all efforts tn carry out the
wishes of the people are smothered and
the pledges of the convention ignored.
There are some members of Congress
who will he liable to wake up some fine
morning and find out their mistake.
And, by the way, speaking of mistakes,
il is understood that Mr.. Hayes has at
length dropped down on Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, minister to Turkey,
for Postmaster-General. Ii is the same
dreary old story of apolitician set to Ito
work for which he has no special fitness.
