THE C0LORED EXODUS.

Special Oispdfeh to ms Chleugo IFIoune-
TOPEKA, kas,, Dec. 11.-An investigation
shows that, the exodus Of colored people to
Kansas continues, the number now arriving
being about SO per week. The Storckeeper
at the North Topeka Barracks says the NULL
ber reporting there for assistance will aver
age 200 per week. Many Of them do
not come to the barracks, all those who are
able leaving directly for parts of the State
where labor is in demand. 4 large e1nigra
ton from Texas, mostly travelling in wagons,
is constantly pouring into Southern Kansas,
and supplies have been sent 10 independence
and Columbus for the benefit of those in Les-
titute circumstances. Gov St John does
hot attempt to discourage the movement, but
il using every endeavor to turn the tide into
other States. The Relief Board is still op-
Leading colored men here say the exodus
will take still larger proportions during the
winter and coming spring.

THE CARSON MINT.

The reply of Director Burchard, of the
Carson Mint, to Congressman Daggett's
inquiries concerning the proposed abolition
of that establishment, is sufficiently
pointed and direct He asserts that it has
been impossible to secure silver enough to
keep the Mint running, and that conse-
quently there has been unavoidable extrav-
agance in its operation. Mr.. Daggett has
not shown how this difficulty can be over
come, and until it is overcome the reasons
for abolishing the Mint at Carson are likely
to seem very strong to the general public.
A Mint which cannot procure material
upon which to work is certainly out of
place in a region where such a dearth ex-
lists, and however desirable it may be to
keep such an institution at hand, it is OBJ
vious that some utilitarian considerations
must be taken into account Mr.. Burchard
does not appear to think that it is worth
while to keep the Carson Mint in operation
under existing circumstances. and the ar
guments in support of this position ad-
duced by him are not easily answered.

Rumors OF Indian Upr,,inas-Etc.

Tucson, May 1st.-A special to the Star
from Yuma says: Reports that the Indians
on the Colorado river, above Gutenberg, have
broken out and are defiant lack confirmation.
General Wallace, commanding the depart
ment, was at Fort Mojave on the 10th, di.
recting the movements of his troops in per-
son. Rumors of general outbreak in the
vicinity of Fort Mojave are not credited
here. Captain Haskell, his aid-de-camp, was
at Yuma on the 18th, and said the troops
sent from San Francisco were to return,
leaving the regular garrison in the depart
ment, and that so far as known all was quiet
on the river. The military are most vigilant,
and travel has not been interrupted a single
day.
Reports from the Dragon Mountains say
that rich discoveries are being made daily of
large silver lodges, carrying good percentage
in gold.
Empire City is the name of a new town
laid out twelve miles south of Pantano Sta
ton. 1t is in the Empire mining district, and
promises to be center of considerable i'm
portance.
Harshaw issued its first paper on Thursday,
named the Arizona Bullion. Tombstone
issues its second newspaper to-day; title, the
Tombstone Epndph.
The track of the Southern Pacific Railroad
is laid "a miles east of Tucson. On and after
to-day the train leaves Tucson for Pantano
at A. NJ. and arriving at 9 A. NJ; connects at
Pantano with stages to and from Tombstone,
Empire City and Patagonia. The train
leaves Pantano at 4:30 P. NJ. and arrives at
Tucson at 6:30P. NJ.

Argonaut cites we merely observed that
common report attributed the murder to
kallochs belief that De Young had circu-
lated the pamphlet, but at the same time
we pointed out that Kalloch himself had
refused to make any statement in the
premises. The Argonaut, and many other
Journals, appear to us to have made Sc
rious mistake in assuming that young Kali
loch shot De Young on account OF the
pamphlet Certainly no evidence in sup
port of that theory has been produced,
and until the defendant speaks it is both
unfair and in bad taste to discuss
his probable defense. For the rest,
we are conscious of no such failure in our
duty to the public as is involved in the
ArgondmS charge that ''we built up an
argument that justiies the murder"
We do not believe that murder can be
justified, though in this we differ from
good many California juries. We believe
that murderers ought to be hanged always,
and that their conviction and execution
should follow their crimes as swiftly as
possible. We believe in putting down
assassination by the gallows, and that
without respect of persons. But when a
man resorts to assassination himself, and
then falls by the methods he has employed,
we consider it a mere truism to say that
this is not an ordinary murder. We have,
however, never intimated that the peculi-
arity of the case mitigated the guilt of
the murderer. We have not entered upon
that question, being DESTROYS of avoiding,
as much as possible, that "trial by news
''paper" which is SO strong a temptation
to journalists, but which produces such
bad effects upon public opinion.

THE KALLoCH-DE YOUNG AFFAIR.
Statement Of a Nevada County Man Who
Saw the Shooting.

Nevada Transcript April 30th1
a well-known Nevada county man, who
was in San Francisco at the time of the
tragedy, and was witness of the scene,
gives US some particulars not yet published
concerning the encounter. He. says:
was standing at the corner of the Chronicle
building awaiting Mr.. -, of this county,
who promised to meet me there and go with
me to the theater. Just then heard two
shots almost simultaneously. Rushing to
the window 1 saw De Young few feet
from man who just then fired shot
towards him. De Young backed towards
the counter and the man followed up still
shooting. In a few moments the man
rushed out and was seized by an officer.
went in and found De Young lying dead
on the floor His overcoat was unbuttoned,
and at his hip hung one of the finest bowie
knives / have ever beheld. II he had any
pistol it must have been taken away before
entered. De Young's part in the affair
seemed to me to be cowardly. He might
have readily jumped on his assailant who
is rather smallish man but instead he
crouched and skunk around, trying to get
away, and yet apparently crazed with
terror. The man who assailed him (Kal-
loch) seemed throughout the scene to be
perfectly cool SO cool that thought him
to be mad man. No sane man could do
what he did in such cool and collected
manner. He did not move muscle or
show the slightest emotion or realization of
his bloody work. / don't think the two
first shots could have been fired from the
same pistol, not even from sef-cocker. I"

NOT VERY GOOD AUTHORITIES.

According to our dispatches Senators
Conkling and Cameron express themselves
as confident that Grant will be nominated
for President on the first ballot We are
not at all surprised that Senators Conk-
ling and Cameron should so declare them
selves, but we confess to some astonish-
ment that anyone should have thought of
asking their opinion on matter concerning
which they are so thoroughly and notori-
ously committed. 1t is in fact good deal
like appealing TO man who is engaged in
lobbying for a bill, for candid opinion
as to its merits. Senators Cameron and
Conkling are using all their en-
deavors to secure the nomination
of Grant. They have undertaken
to deliver the votes of their respective
States for him in the Convention They
know that the very existence of the
machine depends upon the success of
power can only be sustained b. furtifying
the " machine" They must therefore,
and doubtless they will, express the ut
most confidence in the success of the un-
dertaking, to the very last. They are the
very last men in the United States to give
unpreiudiced or trustworthy opinions on
the situation. If they believed that their
Cause was hopeless they would still con-
slider themselves bound to assert the oppo.
site. 1t is therefore hardly worth while
to collect their views upon the prospect,
and to disseminate them as news of any
significance.

THE "AReoNAuT" MAKES A MISTAKE.

The Argonam of last Saturday, in dis
cussing the late murder of Charles De
Young, makes the following remarks :
''The Sacramento RECORD UNION, usually
deliberate aud usually expressing opin-
lions entitled to consideration, and pre-
"sumably beyond the influence of business
"rivalry, says it is quite impossible to re-
"gard this case as an ordinary mnrder
"would be,regarded.' We commend this
journal to review of its past writings,
"and ask it, as it values its reputation as
"one that lays down rules for the conduct
"of men in their relations in life, to an
"swer upon what theory it takes this case
"out of that of the most vulgar crime. :"
The Argonaut further says that this jour-
nal 'assumes the fact that Charles De
Young had caused the pamphlet about
Kalloch to be distributed, and charges that
we build an argument upon it that justi-
"fies the murder" In answer to all this
we will say that the words of the RECORD
UNION first quoted by the Argondut
had no reference to the vulgarity
OF the crime, nor do we think the
article in which it appeared could
be construed as justifying the murder.
That it was not an ordinary murder appears
to us to be sufficiently demonstrated by
the fact that it was committed by
man whose father the victim had pre-
viously attempted to assassinate. That it
was not in the nature of blood feud is far
more easily asserted than proved. As re-
CARDS the pamphlet we have at no time
asserted, or sought TO convey by indirec-
ton, belief that Charles De Young put
it in circulation. In the article which the
