IDLE SPECULATION.

The negroes are gradully moving in
squads southwestward They hunt
sunny climes and rich soils, where ma
ture is the toiler and man the idler.
From the Piedmont slope they drift to
the black belts along the gulf and be-
yond the Mississippi.
They will go into the Indian Terri
tory, Arizona and New Mexico. Pos
sibly in the course of century or SO
they will almost entirely disappear
from the South Atlantic States and
congregate in the far Southwest, per-
haps in some part of Mexico, where
they can enjoy u sort of drowsy dom
ination, observing. in a fashion, fifty
two Sundays in the year, and setting
aside the remaining days for holiday
festivities. What they want is a land
of perpetual summer where they can
milk the trees. booze on pulque aud
reap ready-made harvests and wear
anything or nothing. Itlnay not come
to this but there is drift of things in
that observation-disclosures Constitution.
The prediction with reference to the
final habitat of the Negro on this conti-
nent, by the Atlanta Constitution, pre-
sents the most feasible solution of tins
race ques tion yet indicated. The
News has repeatedly stated that the
negroes who are exodusting on such a
large scale from the older States, TO
the richer and virgin soils ofthe South
west, are taking the first steps in their
march to Just such climate and coun
try as can be found in the Mexican
and Central American States, and
when they have performed their mis-
sion in the way of opening up the rich
alluvial lands of the South, their next
march will be towards Central
Amcrica-Meridian News.

dane sociology of 100 years hence
we pass. But according to our lights

Another Notice TO Democratic Post
masters.

Helena, Mont, March 27.-The Daily
journal tonight received the following
special dispatch from Washington:
"President Harrison does not desire
it TO be understood that any general
rule or general principle will operate
to keep all Democrats in Office till the
expiration OF their present commission.
lie says each case will be taken up sep
arately, and upon its own distinctive
merits. Circumstances which will op-
crate to hold in position one officer
will not necessarily have an, influence
upon another case. The impression
has gone abroad that it will be the
policy of the Administration to per-
nit all Democrats who are efficient in
their positions to serve till the end of
the time specified in their commission,
and that officers will not be removed
on the ground ofofiensive partisanship.
This may hold good ia epeciic cases,
but It can not be applied as a general
rule. There is to be no official or
technical term in this Administration.
as there was in the last, known as 'of I
fensive partisanship.' That Is to say.
officers are not to be charged with be-
ing Extensively .partisan. and removed
for that eanse. There are other and
better ways Of making vacanclos." Z

A QUEER MOVE.

Baltimore, Md, April IA Rich
mond, Va, special to the American
says: The contest between rival fac
tions here for the Richmond postmas-
tership has assumed singular. phase.
It is now stated that President Hari-
son has rendered the office to Mrs.
@Stonewall' Jackson. Her father
has reached a very advanced age,
for which reason she declined the
tender of the postoflice at Lexington.
Va, where the body of her husband is
buried. Her friends here will, how
ever, endeavor to induce her to accept
the Richmond postmastership, which is
a lucrative one. 1t is stated that the
President thinks that by appointing
Mrs. Jackson he will not have TO rec
ognize either of the contcnding Re
publican factions here, and will, at the
same time, give the position to lady
held in high esteem by all.

Especial TO The Times-Democrat.l
Washington, March 30.--The colored
Republicans of the South are very
much alarmed over the political sitna-
ton just now. They think that Presi-
dent Harrison has been caught by the
representations of the quondam DEM
ocrats who have become recent con-
verts to Republcansm on the tariff
issue, to the effect that, If he would in
the distribution OF patronage throw
over the old Republican element, keep
negroes out of Office and recognize the
new white adherents of his party, he
could break up the Solid South and
demoralze the Democracy. The ne
groes see in this plan no hope for them,
and they are frightened to think that
they are to be ignored in the distribu-
tion of spoils. The impression is very
prevalent among them that the admin
istration has already agreed to adopt
this policy of Cancellation toward the
Southern whites in order TO dispose Of
the necessity of passing national lcgls-
lation, such as the Sherman election
bill. which would in its operation
affect the North as well as the Sortb.
Consequently the negroes are taking
measures TO combat this theory. The
first step in the matter was taken to-
night, when all the prominent colored
Republicans from Louisiana who are
now in the city held secret confer
ence to debate the question.
Il was concluded to draw up an ad-
dress denouncing the proposed policy
of conciliation as one full of danger to
the Republican party and at the same
time showing the important part play
ed by the eolored vote in the pivotal
States of New York, indiana and Con-
nectieut, and of Ohio and California.
