Exodus Examination.

Washington, March l3.--The examination
Of the negro, Henry Adams, before the Exc
dus committee: He testified that in 1876
and 1877 he was twice shot ut by bandits,
white men. The reason given for assaults
being that he was trying to get negroes to
leave tho perish. He was employed by
Major Merrill as servant at Sl5 month,
but thought that rail-splitting was. safer work.
He and his people lost all hope in 1877, not
because Hayes was inaugurated, but because
their condition seemed hopeless. He had
urged Hayes help then without success.
The Republican Governor OF Louisiana,
had been appealed TO for aid, but without
success. He thought kellogg little cow
ardly. He had been in Arkansas and Texas on
the society's business, and found the condi-
ton of the negroes in Texas very bad. He
did not want TO tell all his business. He ex-
pected to get killed for what no had already
said if he went back.

THE PRICE OF PAPER.
Arguments Before the House ways
nnd Means Committee for md
Against Reduction Of Duty,

Washington, March 3,-Tho hearing on
the paper question was resumed before tho
House committee on Ways and Means to-
day. Hon. Warner Miller, of Herkimer
New York, concluded his argument urging
the injustice OF removing the duty on wood
pulp as contrary to the spirit of our own leg
islation, etc.
Hon, Erastus Brooks, of New York, fol-
lowed and urged tho removal of the duty,
which he proposed to accomplish by simply
giving an appropriate construction TO the
existing law. lie urged that the rise in the
price Of paper was entirely dsproportionate
to the rise in the price Of other commodities,
and was due to the combination of Western
manufacturers lIo believed the removal of
tho present duty on wood pulp would result
in reduction OF at least two cents per
pound on printing paper; that unless some
action Of this character was taken by Con-
gress there could b. no guarantee that paper
might not be forced to the most extortionate
prices.
