AN EXODUS.
Neeroes Moving to the southwest.

Four more carloads of negro emigrants from upper South Carolina and North Caro- lima are bound for the Southwest. The ne- groes give as their reasons for leaving their Carolina homes, the poor crops that have been made for the last few years and the scarcity of money. They hope to make plenty of money and grow fat in the country out West, about which many wonderful stories have been told. Labor on the large cotton plantations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkan- sas and Texas is very scarce.
 There is an immense amount of land that lies idle for want of hands to cultivate 1t. The railroad authorities send an agent among the western planters to find how many hands are wanted. The planter agrees to take certain number of hands, and places with the railroad sum of money sufficient to pay their travelling expenses, the amount to be returned by the negro in work before he receives any wages. The railroad agent then goes to North or South Carolina as the most fruitful field in which to ply his vocation. Last year the farmers rose :e squally for the agent. This year, however, they are encouraging the negroes to leave.

THE WHIPPING POST.
Effort Made to Revive it in Virginia

Effort Made to Revive 1t In Virginia.
 In the Virginia House of Delegates MT. Downing of Clark introduced bill provid- ing for the punishment of petit larceny by the inf1iction of stripes. The bill proposes that the stripes shall not exceed 20 in any one day, and not over 29, the limit under the old antebellum regime. The whipping post ex- isted in Virginia as far back as about l779, and togging was resorted to as punishment for petty thieves. The criminal records show that the great majority of these offenders are negroes. The commitment to jail and other penal institutions of this class of of lenders is not regarded by them as any great punishment. When Malone came into power one of the first measures he advo- catcd was the repeal of the law authorizing corporal punishment. It is this law that MT. Downing proposes to revive.

The Fishery Question Win Be Consider
 Early in the Session.

The Canadian cabinet ministers are pre- pairing for the session of Parliament, which opens on the 18th inst. A resolution will be introduced to abolish French as an official language in the Canadian Northwest, and the Orangemen will seek to secure incorporation.

This may result in a modification of the governments proposed policy, for Sir Charles seeks to pursue con- ciliatory policy, in view of the unsettled state of the Behring Sea ques tion.

cult to perceive how New England and Wall
street are q unit in an effort to continue In
direct taxation. In the United etates tt 10
quite safe to presume that SC, 600 00o. 900 Is re-
Quired In the manufacturing Industries. At
an average of seven per cent. the interest
upon this amount becomes tax of san, ,000.-
600 on those industries. In England the rate
of interest would not exceed three per cent.
or $50 ,0O0 900. maklhg difference OF
$4,000 900 In favor Of England on the
interest tax alone II the American and
English manufacturers were competing On
similar lin's of production, other things
being equal. the English manufacturer
would have $40. .0oo. 900 the advantage In tho
one Item OF interest charges when h ie
understood that the entire revenue from
customs amounts to less than Sl2k, ,0s0, 600.
this advantage can be appl oximated. In
view Of this. would it not be we'll for the
friends Of tariff reform to begin at the next
session OF Congress with q bill to reform tho
currency and givesAe people cheaper
money! With this reform drsk tarin re-
form would follow rs surely as night follows
day. Without it q change In this direction

The above. coming from the source IL
does, Is notable utterance of vast sig
nificance in its import and consequences
It not only emphasizes o plain truth in
political economy, but 1t virtually
throws down the Alliance gauntlet to
the Democratic party. In nearly all
States in which the Democrats have q
majority. they would be in hopeless
minority should they fail to receive the
Alliance vote. The Alliance now says
to the Democratic party: Give US
financial reform and cheaper money,
and we will assist you to obtain tariff
reform; refuse to do this and we will
vote for the perpetuation of the present
rate Of tariff dutieA" Thus new factor
10 added to the political problem. and
the Alliance. with its more than three
million voters. holds the balance Of
power. and the key to the situation.
