The Exodus.

A Kansas physician has gone
among the ] 200 colored emigrants
from Texas, now gathered near Os-
wego, in the former state, and has
found over 300 of the number frost
bitten, bleeding and sick. Nor is
tt is view of the exodus negro in
Kansas a solitary instance of the
trouble that the African has
b. ought on himself by leaving his
Southern home to tempt the rigOrs
of a Northern winter, born and
reared as he is in a climate so essen
tally different from that which he
has sought. Similar stories of the
privations from which they suffer
come from all the immigration dis
tricts, and calls are made on the
sympathetic for funds Wherewith
to supply them with food and fuel.
If the exodus fever was an expert
ment we think the negro should be
satisfied with the result. 1t GER
tainly has been a painful experience
for him.

Brave and Just Words.
Gallatin Examiner.

In the course of some remarks in
the senate on Wednesday last, Mr..
Bailey, of Tennessee, advocated
refundipg to Mr.. Hayes the money
he paid out of his Own pocket to
meet the expenses of the Mac
Neagh commission to ~paciticate
and adjust the Louisiana troubles.
Senator Bailey concluded his re-
marks as follows:
Nh. President, l believe that the
action of the President in sending
this commission was a patriotic ac-
ton. / believe that he was con-
trolled by a desire to bring peace
and repose to the country. His
action certainly contributing in a
great.degree to settling the differ
ences that for so long a time had
kept Louisiana in a state of ferment
and gave great satisfaction to the
nation.
Mr.. Hayes administration has
been sometimes sneered at, some
times scoffed at, but before l leave
the senate / wish to put it upon the
record that in my opinion we have
had for forty years past no admins
tratiOn that has been SO beneficient
to the country as the n that Is
about to expire. You may call it a
weak administration if you will /;
call it by what name you please,
but at least it has brought good and
only good to the people of the
United States. Mr.. Hayes has
done much that | do not approve
Many of his recommendations to
congress, in my opinion have been
unwiSe and in conflict with the
principles of the constitution; still |
believe he has been animated by a
sincere desire to bring peace and re-
pose to the country, and his efforts
have not been without success.
Contrast our condition to-day with
our condition four years ago. How
great the change Although we are
indebted to a kind Providence that
has rewarded our labOrs with bount-
eOus crops, and thereby wrought a
revolution in foreign as well as in
ternal commerce, yet at last We
could not have reaped the harvest
of these great opportunities but for
the wise, considerable, moderate and
patriotic efforts of our chief magis-
trate to bring peace and quiet TO the
country.
/ trust that the amendment re-
ported by the committee may be
adopted.
These are brave, just and bold
words, but just such as our eX-sena-
tor uses whenever demanded by the
right. 1t is not every statesman
who has the courage of convictions.
Senator Bailey returns from his seat
in the senate with the respect of
every member of that body.

compared with the year succeed

point the usual moral though in a
greater than usual degree. Under
No License the police Judge had be-

for all crimes numbered only ninety
tloo, while in the year following,
the record of the police court shows

hundred and siEty. fUefromallsOurces
of disorder and crime; an increase
of 600 per cent. in cases of drunken

the terrible truths that lie back of
them?

EVERY rum-shop-high or low,
splendid or squalid, licensed or law
less-is a school of disorder. 1t is
supported by the most extravagant
and destructive of taxes, and no
matter how hard the times, its BUSH
ness is always good. 1t keeps per-
petual session. No vacation gives
pause to its dreadful work. No
quarrels or divisions weaken the
power of its organization. 1t well
comes and uses all allies, and is
equally at home in church and state.
Its pupils and patrons swell the rec
ords Of the criminal courts, the po-
lice department, the %overseers of
the poor, the directors of charities.
Its graduates recruit the great army
of tramps, keep the Dangerous
classes' full, and finally crowd the
prisons and potter's fields.

Carpenter was a boy, he did not
like to work on the farm. One day
his father left home, telling him to
hoe a patch of potatoes and gave
him two shillings with which to
hire help. He bought a shilling's
worth of whisky and secured man
to help him. He would stand at
the end of the row and give the
man a drink as fast al he got round
to him. The potatoes were soon
hoed, and Matt saved a shilling.
