The Colored Exodus.
''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.
