Some leading spirits among the Colored

for a very large settlement Of the race In
New Mexico, territory which, from AL
accounts, Is well adapted Tor home for
great numbers Of them. II Ia warm yet

way Of industrial resources. President
Garfield was approached on the subject
the other day by a delegation Of colored
men, and held an interesting interview
with them in reference 10 the movement.

interview in our dispatches, but the WASH

count, as follows:
A number Of gentlemen, among whom
we're two Of the officers of Howard Uni
yersity, called on The President yesterday
in regard to the proposed emigration ot a
large number OF Colored people from the
South into the Territory OF New Mexico.
Rev. DR.. Harvey Blated TO the President
that HowAtd University was largely inter.

in that Territory, and that II was proposed

Apart from the dealings in stock the ex.
changes at New York were unusually
small last week, and probably amounted
to little more'than five hundred million
dollars, differing not much from the net
exchanges Of the corresponding week Of
last year. The condition OF trade, how.
ever, appears to have been more favorable
Tor the month at several other cities than
here. In the aggregate the business Of the
country Is wonderfully well sustained. 1t
was about year ago, as all will remem'
Der, that the tremendous burst OF speCua.
tion In merchandise eliminated with i'm
ports amounting to more than $4,000, 600,
at New York alone, nearly $ll 900 900 at
Boston, and over 81, ,0O0, ,000at Philadelphia.
In all departments OF trade the movement
was unnaturally rapid and prices were ar.
tiGClally high, In spite oil the decline and
the comparative absence OF speculative ex.
element at this time the exchanges exceed
those Of the corresponding week Of last
year, both largely in aggregate and at
almost every city In the country. Certainly
the inference iB not Q disCouraging one.
Altogether there has has been some de.
crease In activity OF late.

tAithp
The responses DO not indicate m ardent
desire or purpose on the part OF the De.
mocracy to do anything rash or pro.
nounCed. On the tariff question there are
varying views. The West chiefly iavOrs q
tariff for revenue only. In come loCali.
ties east there is agreement with the
views OF the "superb soldier" that the
tariff is local question. In the South
there Is general opposition to agitation Of
the Question and little encouragement to
the reorganization idea, There Is more
unanimity in the responses for clinging to
the "grand old party" name aud traditions
than for any one idea suggested in the
questions.
