THE EXODUs ISyEsTIGATIoN.

1t is difficult from what has thus far de-
veloped in Senator VOORHEES, investigation
Of the exodus to even conjecture the OBJ
iectiye point of the movement. 1t was sup
posed in the outset of his effort that he ex-
pectcd or hoped TO show a deep.laid Re
publican plot to overcome the Democratic
majority in Indiana by a heavy emigration
of coloicd citizens from North Carolina into
that State. Thus far nothing of the kind
has been shown in any of the testimony
adduced, and for that matter it cannot be
shown by truthful testimony, for no such
purpose has existed from the inception of the
movement or since on the part of the Repub.
lican party. Indeed, that party has had far
less to do in the way of encouraging this
tide of emigration than the Baltimore q
Ohio railroad, which is supposed TO be
Democratic institution. 1t now looks as if
Senator VOORHEES, is doomed to deep dis
appointment in the event of this invcstga-
| ton. lie has been cruelty mislcd MS to the
| inlcnls and purposes Of the exodus, and we
predict that the investigation will eyentuate
| in q dismal failure. The truth win appear
so rs to establish the simple fact that the
| colored people of North Carolina are dis
contentcd and desire to cmigrnte elsewhere.
Wheihert there is sufficient cause for this feel
ing of discomfort We will not decide, for We
have no knowledge on that point beyond
what we have derived from brief converse
tions with u few of the emigrants themselves.
Believing them, we should say that they
had abundant cause for discomfort and a
desire to find homes elsewhere, but their
tales may have been the creation of dis
ordered imagination, while the evidences
they brought with them do not lead Ia
any such conclusion. We have been led tC
give credence TO their statements. They
have been impellod by their conditions in
North Carolina TO seek improvement under
a change of locality. They have left North
Carolina, and few hundred have beer

THE Washington correspondent of
Truth, the new penny paper in New York,
quotes Senator CoKE's objection to remov-
ing the legal-tender quality of the green
backs because they are part of the public
debt, the validity of which is provided for
by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution, and wittily remarks that tho dis

there is an apparent point in the Senator's

The proposition TO settle the YocUM-
CURTIN contest in the House by remanding
it back to the people of the Twentieth
(Pennsylvania) district seems to meet with
much favor in that State and the localities
most directly interested. 1t is, perhaps, q
good thing TO do, under the circumstances,
for the reason that the fraud upon both
sides is 80 manifest that neither party can
claim clean bill of health, so to speak.
Besides, the precedent will not be q bad
one, and in such cases there is nothing more
likely to prevent repetition of fraud and

concerned in the dispute than to vacate the

Among the most embarrassing and yeX-

of the Government and the people at the

National character, and an evil which COM
mands attention and reformation, and yet
It is steadily spreading it's ucerous inlec-
ton in the West Mormonsm is polygamy,
which is the religion of u sect, and instead
of regarding it crime to have plurality
of wives, they esteem It virtue, The
Republican party has assailed that people
and the distinctive feature of their sect,
and has denounced it as a twin
relic of barbarism, and yet Nor
monism has heightened its cords and
"strenathened its stakes under such anath-
ema. Outruges have been committed by
the Mormons, such for instance, rs the

THE newspapers are busy just now COM
menting upon the CoX-HoRR contest for
the funny-man's belt in the House. The
burden of this comment amounts N very
severe structures upon those two gentlemen,
and they are widely denounced for having
abused and deprecated the gravity or dig
nifty of exalted official position. 1t is fair
to presume that these critics are ignorant OF
the fact that the House itself is in part
responsible for the testers antics complained

THAT the enemies of General GRANT
desire that he shall retire from the opening
political canvass there is no doubt. But
whether he is to crafty that desire is quite
another thing. His opponents are most
vociferous that he shall and confident that
he will retire at an early day, but thus far
in history they have never been known to
represent him correctly. lie will at the

THE true chivalry of the South will
sooner or later come forward to the vindi-
cation of General GRANT against the SIAN
ders that are now being heaped upon him
because of his prominence as a candidate
fol- the next Presidency. If there is a spark
of manhood left in that section, the man
who dignifed and made gracious the Con.
federate surrender at Appomattox by virtue
of his natural magnanimity of character
will never need friends in the reconstructed
States.

ALL that General GRANT has said since
his election in 1872 about-a reelection has

second, and would not seek a third.

THERE has been an effort in some quar-
ters to give partisan cast to the investiga-

service. This is unwise. The interests of
the people are TOO great and too directly
affected by any injury to or crippling of
this important branch of the public service
to permit the indulgence Of partisan spirit
in the examination of the facts concerning
it. We have great faith in the fairness and
wisdom of the gentlemen conducting the in
quiry, and in the ultimate determination
of Congress to deal fairly and literally with
the Star service.

amazing discretion up to date But their

a G0Ott Haul.

On Monday, between four o'clock and eight
in the evening, some ligllt-liugered individual
entered the Eureka Market, west Broadway,
bv the back door, and stole d roll Of @reen-
BACKS, containing between $3.50 and $500, be-
longing TO the proprietor, Mr.. Fred. Brown.
In the afternoon Mr.. Brown had made some
collections and about three O'Clock he placed
his purse, a buckskin sack for gold dust, with
the amount mentioned, beneath the pillow OF
his bed in the back room. At the close OF
business hours he took from the till the
amount realized by the cash sales of the day
and proceeded to add it to the amount con-
tanned in the purse, when he made the dis
covery that purse and contents were missing.
Owing to the nature of the theft no search
can very we'll be instituted, hut if this should
barpen to meet the thief's eye he is particu-
larlv requested to return the sack. IL is a
relic of placer mining days of early years in
California. and from the associations con-
nected with il, its owner is exceedingly re-
luc,ant to let it 60. Mr.. Lightfingers Will
pl,ase return it by mail or Otherwise.

The hail storm of Tuesday extended over
a larger section of country than anyone
would have supposed, from viewing the storm
clouds as they appeared from Butte. Gentle
men from below say the hail reached within
eight miles of Deer Lodge city and that in
some localities in the valley the storm was
much more severe than at Butte, the hail
stones being, some of them, fully half an
inch in diameter, and remaining unmelted on
the roads and commons for some hours after
they fell. The crops sustained great injury.
For about thirty miles down the valley from
Butte, the Oat crop was entirely ruined, While
wheat and barley were very seriously injured.
Garden produce was not more fortunate. In
the gardens of til .iemper Bros, near Butte,
lettuce, new cabbage and other tender plants
were ridllcG AS if they had been made the
TARGET for v0llrys of buckshot.
