THERE is one phase of the exodus bus
mess of which little note has been
made, and yet it would seem worthy Of
the most serious consideration. II is
the heartless cruelty practiced on the
simple, confding negroes by the gang
of hypocrtes who have been engaged in
getting them out of North Carolina and
into Indiana, for the double political
purpose of reducing the power of the
South and "redeeming" Democratic
State. II has been shown beyond the
faintest shadow Of a doubt. shown by
the unvarying testimony of unimpeach.
able witnesses of both parties and both
races. that the blacks in North Carolina
are not only kindly but generously
treated by the dominant race. No sane
man who has heard or read the evidence
given before the Exodus committee has
any hesitancy in believing that the
condition Of the colored population OF
that State is exceptionally fortunate,
and far better than that of the negroes
in the North. In all respects the ne.
groes of North Carolina are quite as
we'll of as the poor whites. They have
equal rights before the law, equal facili.
ties for earning money, equal educa-
tional advantages, and there is not even
hint or suggestion in the evidence of
any oppression or any discrimination
against them by reason of their color or
previous condition. In short. all the
wild and foolish stories Of i'll usage have
been exploded, and the fact stands out
in boldest relief that the people and
the government of North Carolina have
hAt hAl 1,tt. IN .I
liberal spirit, towards the enfrsnchised
people. From comfortable homes and
pleasant surroundings, from q genial
climate and ways of life to which they
are attached, the negroes have been
lured away by false promises. The same
class of men who robbed them of their
little savings by the Freedmens' bank
rascalities, the same class who have
preyed upon their credulity ever since
they were emancipated, have filed
their simple minds and imposed on their
trustful natures with cunningly devised
fables. They have gone 10 Indiana as
to the land of promise, expecting to
find there immediate comfort and a
short road TO affluence. But instead Of
realizing these bright dreams scores OF
them have gone into paupers' graves
from the effects of exposure, and other
scores are now in the almshouses and
asylums. In q single locality twenty.
five of these wretched immigrants died
from the effects OF change of climate in
eight weeks, and were buried as paupers
in the Potter's field. They went from
a locality where they had never known
want to find speedy death in the poor
house. II is an infamous thing TO thus
trifie with the lives Of even the humblest
human beings. But this is in keeping
with the history Of Radicalism. as relates
to the negro. That party has used the
blacks for selfish ends only, and has in
variably shown the same heartless dis
regard for their interests that appears
in this exodus Washing

Edward Herrick.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
We have heard the name of Edward
Herrick, Esq, of Bradford county. men
toned recently with much favor in con.
necton with the Democratic candidacy
for auditor general. Mr.. Herrick has
been chief clerk of the auditor gener-
ais Office for nearly two years and has
won the esteem and friendship OF all
who have had transactions with him in
that capacity. He is man of high
character and excellent business quail
fcations. This brief commentator OF
Mr.. Herrick is written without his
knowledge or consent and we doubt
whether he has any desire to be regard.
ed as a candidate in the sense of an
active competition for the nomination.
From the Wilkesbarre Cnion-Leader.
4 finer and truer gentleman, a more
devoted and conscientious official, than
Edward Herrick never rendered service
for the State at Harrisburg. If these
qualities constitute title to the favor OF
parties then Edward Herrick should
have fair sailing in the Democratic Con.
vention. il he should conclude TO ask
the nomination for Auditor General at
Its hands. We could support him with
our whole heart, knowing that, If elect
ed, he would do his party great credit
and care religiously for the best inter
ests OF the whole people.

An accident of an extraordinary nature
has occurred ut the Halts Theater, Aston,
near Birmingham. The stage is lighted
by two electric lights and when the
candles are not burning, two brass con.
nsetions, used for ths purpose of cross.
ing the current. are hung ovsr the
orchestra. After the performance of the
pantomime, Mr.. Bruno, the suphoniun
player. was leaving with the other mem
bers of the band, when, presumably out
OF curiosity, he caught hold of the two
brass connections referred to. The
man in charge called out to him. with
the object OF warning him OF the danger
he was mourning. The warning, how.
ever. came too late. Mr.. Bruno received
the full shock OF the electric current
generated by the powerful battery which
supplies the whole of the lamps in tho
building and grounds. 1t is said that
the candles being not then burning, Mr..
bruno was unable to dissngsgs himself,
and pulled the wire down. The shock
rendered him inssnsible. Medical men
were soon in attendance, and restorativss
applied. but Mr.. Bruno died in forty
minutes Aftsrward.
