''Cotton, too cheap, and justice, too dear," is the condensed sentence tised by the New York Herald in stating the reason for the exodus of colored people now taking place in the south. There are various reasons given by other journals for this movement of the blacks. They have found that, politically, they are to be hereafter in the south a dead letter. They will not be allowed to have any rep resentation in congress, nor in legis latures probably, nor in county gov ernments. The3r are paid (if at all) for their labor on the plantations, not In money but in orders, and are obliged to make their purchases of designated persons, and the result is plain enough. Such a condition is one of freedom in name, but slavery in practice. Losing all hope of ever gaining any political recognition, and cheated, as they believe, at every point, and be ing made to believe that there are better chances in the great west, many have determined to try their fortunes there. Many of them have died on the way, aiid are dying at their encampments. Like ignorant children, they have started on their hegira without sufficient means and preparation. The Pacific coast must prepare for accepting many of these refugees from the south, although we scarcely an ticipate such a result. The colored people in New York are alive to the question, and one of their prominent men advocated the idea of the exodus. He thought there was a call or an op portunity for the employment of a thousand colored men in Arizona on railroads, and that the same is true in California and New Mexico. He en couraged the movement. A partial migration of the colored race will be a benefit to the southern states, ac cording to the views of Senator Win dom, who seems deeply interested in the movement. It can scarcely be possible that any considerable number of the ruling race of the south can have endorsed the proposition to prevent the emi gration or the blacks, by enactment that not over fifty shall be allowed to take passage on any steamer on the Mississippi river. This would be a stretch of tyranny beyond anything heretofore enacted. We give them freedom, the franchise, then make their lives intolerable by oppression and cheating, and then sny they shall not have happiness, in the face of the Declaration of Independence, and of . the Constitution. The south can scarcely have sunk to that degrada tion. CaT)t Connor's Statement. Capt. Connor, commander of the steamship Oregon, was interviewed by a Boe reporter this morning who said; "1 brought my ship over the bar in broad daylight, by the north channel, leaving the Groat Republic outside, waiting for high tide. The tide had been flowing about an hour when I started over. The Republic was seen until dark Friday night. On S.iturdajT morning when I left Astoria for Portland I saw the Republic, but thought she was still outside the bar. I watched her with my glass until my ship was ten miles from Astoria. As the Republic did not move I thought she might be grounded, but I could n-t go back to assist her. 1 had no right to go as there were tugs that could rendt'.r assistance, when I could not go any where near her. If there had been no other boat around, then I should have gone back to see what the trouble w.-is. From the position tie Republic occupied I thought she might be outside the bar when I last saw her, and her steam was down which bespoke trouble. There was noihing said about her when I left Astoria. She stranded about 200 yards west of Sand island." The captain was inclined to be reticent and declined to give an opinion as to where the blame rested. The Bee truthfully remarks that it will be time enough, when the facts nre un derstood, and the excitement that at tends the disaster has subsided, to form and express a judgment, and at tach the fault where it belongs; and this we shall try to do, impartially, so soon as it can properly be done. The novel sight was presented in the Texa? legislature recently of a member of that body speaking in Spanish in advocacy of a bill making the payment of poll tax a prerequisite to vntifig. His argument, which most of the body understood, although ut tered in a foreign tongue, was that at the last election over one thousand Mexicans had crossed over and voted in Texas. The Spanish must have been persuasive, as the bill passsd the lower house. English newspapers very rarely contain in the obituary column a notice of a funeral, because, except in the Ct'tse of a very eminent person, it is not desired that anr but near rela tives or very intimate friends should at tend, men worth a million go to their graves with less pomp and parade than a New York cur driver.
