1t is a little strange, after all that h as been
printed in the newspapers about the census,
that the enumerators should report that they
found more trouble in the wealthy sections OF the
city than in the districts inhabited by the poor.
The carelessness, laziness and indifference OF
the rich were greater obstacles, it seems, to
obtaining the required information than the
ignorance of the tcnement-houso population.

desirable one to live in. The Cuban tariff

Helm the Poor.

"The poor ye always have with you"
is brought wildly TO mind by the intense
cold weather and the widespread dcstitu-
ton that abOunds in our midst. Much of
this is occasioned by the lack Of employ
mcnt and its rewards, and some by prodi-
gality and vice; but it is no time now to
stop and question the causes that have
led 10 this suffering and misery. Human
ity calls and the hand of charity should
be opened wide in the way of prompt re-
lief. The suffering should not be permit
ted to perish in the midst of plenty. 1t
is to be hoped that prompt measures will
be taken TO bring immediate succor to
those who are inneed. The work cannot
be begun too soon or carried forward with
too much vigor. Let all contribute as they
have been blessed with the means to do
so, and let relief come without grudging

ing Of dissatisfaction that gathers around
their present lot, it is not strange that
they should seek more congenial loca-
tions for their future homes where all
their civil rights will be respected. The
desire for change under the circumstances
is irreprcssible. Those who have been
pioneers in the exodus movement keep
up communication with the friends they
have left behind, which imparts to them
such information as increases the desire
to visit that section of their country
where every citizen is equally respected
in all his rights before the law. The
landholders of the South begin to be
aware of the extent of the inn
pending movement and to be alarmed
at its magnitude. They resort to
new promises of reform in the treat
ment of the blacks in the hope that
they may stay the tide of emigration; but
in view of present indications alarm is
engendered relating to the future magni-
tude of the movement, and there
is cause for alarm. When colored
labor disappears, their last resource for
prosecuting their industries in tilling the
soil and gathering their crops is dissi-
pated. Already the exodus has crippled
their resources to an extent that the
planters found difficulty in commanding
the requisite labor to gather the crop of
theprescntyea and in view Of the further
fact that this crop Is increasing in acreage,
while the labor resource is diminishing,
there is cause for anxiety, If not alarm,
relating to the future. What is to be
done is the serious question. Immigra-
ton is triiiing in extent when compared
with the drainage Of the exodus. The
blunder has been committed, and when
the South finally discovers it there will
be no power to apply the remedy. The
colorcd man will be gone, no more to re-
turn

REroRn from the South indie lte an in
tention on the part Of great many col
ored people to take their departure from
that section and follow their brethren to
the West. This is not to be wondered at
The taste of liberty they have had is the
sweetest experience given to man to en-
joy. IL is no mere sentiment to say that
all other things are not worthy of con-
sideration, even by poor negro, when
compared with the sweets of liberty.
And in going from the land of their ma
tivity to another part of the country few
people hay ever been called upon to
make greater sacrifices. The colored race
are remarkably domestic in their tastes
they love their old homes and associa-
tions, and their friendships among them
selves are strong and endearing The
climate of the South, too, is agreeable to
them, and the little information they
have had of the barren blackness of the
West must be discouraging. Aside from
this, they have much to tempt them to
stay. Many of them are doing well as
small farmers and are making advances
in education. But they have tasted real
liberty and cannot be held back. Tyranny,
let it take what shape it will, u smile or II
frown, is not for them. The days of
slavery, political OF otherwise, are gone
forever.

No More Human Slavery.


The relics of barbarism yet linger in
the State of Virginia. Among them is a
law which provides for the selling of ne
groes into slavery, or limited scrvitude,
as it is called, for the olfense of yagrancy,
under an old State law. This law was
recently revived at Lynchburg, Va, and
three negroes were sold into involuntary
servitude to three farmers for the term of
ninety days. This fact has created con-
siderable excitement. The colored peo-
pie of the community fancied that they
saw in this performance the beginning of
an attempt to reduce them to slavery
again, and they discussed the matter with
much vchemcnCe. They finally deter
mined to test the question in the courts,
and employeda Il lawyer. The case was APP
pealed, but the appeal was denied on the
ground that the action of the justice
of the peace was final. The prisoners
were then brought before the county
judge on writ of habeas corpus. They
were promptly released on the ground
that their cases did not come under the
provision of the vagrant act. This prac-
tice of selling colored men into scrvitude
does not generally prevail in the South
but one thing is very certain, it should
not be tolerated anywhere. No person
should be sold into servitudc to any indi.
vidual under any circumstances. We are
firm believers in the justice of compelling
able-bodied tramps and convicts to labor
and in that way support themselves; but
that should be done under the control OF
the public authorities and in rcformatory
institutions. Every appearance and YES.
tige of slavery should be discontinued
under our flag, which abolished the insti
| tuition and washed it out with blood. =

The Mcnacing Peril of the South.

Instead of acting wisely and treating
the colored citizen with measure of JUS
ticein both business and dpolitical relations
that would cut off all desire and excuse for
emigration, the Southern people have con-
tinned their system of political ostracism
and business oppression, until the symp-
toms of n future exodus have become
alarming to the BOurbons. The news
comes to us from nearly every section of
the South that preparations are being
made for an unusually large movement in
the emigration of the colored people from
that section on the opening of spring
There is but one reason for this move
ment. The colored citizens of the South
are not well treated in their business and
political relations with the whites The
South is the natural place for the colored
race. They have been born and reared
there. The climate is suited to them.
The soil and its products are suited to
their toll and their tastes. 1t was the
home of their ancestors and has
been their homes from infancy,
and they are endeared to the
Sonth by traditional relations and cir
cumstances They have been emanci-
pated from slavery to freedom, and have
been made citizens by the Constitution
and laws of their country. All that they
have ever asked or expected was that
their civil rights should be placed upon
an equality with those of other citizens.
They are entitled to this, and they have
asked no more. This has been denied to
them both in politics and business, and
they have become dissatisfied. Under
this feeling of dissatisfaction they see no
real hope of relief except in emigration,
and they have decided TO 80 just SO iilst
rs circumstances will favor their leaving.
The unpopuated sections of the West in
vite them to homestcads, while the popu-
lated States proiier them employment ut
fair wages and sure pay.
With these inducements, and the feel
