pc^ed, because It would tend to end sectional i ;

lease of the valuable water power opposite the 1
P.rck Island arsenal to the Moilne Water Power [
company, as provided by one of the clauses of f

the views of the ordnance bureau, which h r
transmits for the Information of Congress* t
det ides that the water nower cannot b' i
leaded to the Moilne Water Power com- f
pai y consistently with the interests of th r
government, and renews the recorn:nend it ion i
which he made last jear. that an appropriation 4
of $ir>?t,rfio be authorized to maintain and-iin- i
prove t te power, both on account of its Import {
ance to the United states and to silence th i
complaints cf the Moilne water power company, I
which uses a part of the nower under eontrac t
wit h the government, and which urges the non- r
fUifllment of the government's promise to lm r
prove, as a reason lor asking for a release of tii t
whole. J

Tike Exodus from the South*
migration of colored people from that
section.
The migration of the colored people from
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee to Kansas,
qcw in progress is attracting considerable atentlon
throughout the country, but more
ispecJally in the south. Instances are not at
ill rare wherein all the colored people on a
plantation have left and gone to the Eldorado
)f the west. Within the past few months considerable
impetus has been given to thl3 inlgra;lon
from the south, and it is no idle calculation
o say thatnearly one hundred thousand colored
people have left the south in the last six months
or the northwest.
opinion of a tennessee journalist.
Col. Keller, the editor of the Memphis Atxanche,
who is in the city, an intelligent observer.
and who has studied the question, savs the
novement began three years ago in Tennessee:
hat agents cf the Little Rock and Fort Smith
allroad company came into his state; it first
it eded labor to construct the road, and had a
arge land grant franchise to dispose of Tor
tomesteads. Those agents went among the
olored people, offered them cheap homes and
emuneratlve labor, and the result was that a
hat time there was a great migration or th
olored people from Tennessee to Arkansas. II
hink", the new migration now going on to Kan
as Is brought about by the same agency; tha
t Is a move made by the railroad couipanle
vho have roads to construct and als
at.ds to d'spos,e of. Tney want cheao
abor, and they have cheap lands to sell
rhey have their agents in the south, and tne
nducements offered are such that 1 he cclorod
)eople, who like change, eagerly take ad vanage
of the Inducements offered bv the railroad
ompanles. Mr. Keller says, too, that he thinks
here Is a disposition in Tennessee to exact to j
nucli from the colored people; thit is that they
ire charged too much for rent, and are not ofered
the chance to acquire homestead3 as
heaply as Is offered them elsewhere. He docs
iOt tnlnk that the move has any political slgilflcance,
nor is it meant to affect a reduction
if the next census in the south, and conse[uently
a reduction of representation, but that

JFOitTX-SlAAMt LUA
Friday, Ai>ril 4.
TIIE SENATE was not In session to-day.
' H< U SE ?The House met at 11 o'clock, in cont
nuance of Thursday's session, and itninecUately
went into committee of whole (Mr.
springer. of 111., In the chair) on the army
appropriation bill
Mr. Singleton (Miss.) said that the House was
confronted with the grave question whether it
as a representative body, had t he courage and
determination to remove from the statute bx>ks
ceitain pernicious laws placed thereon in orde
to promote the political welfare of a grea
i party, or whether it would falter and ta 1
| in Its duty to the country. Under the lit
I administration troops had been sent, at
1 the caprice of the executive or up n
: the call of political managers, into ai y
j state or precinct, with the inteut and eiTact of
intimidating and driving citizens from th? p vis
whose political views were not in harmonv with
those of the party In power. It must lie' said,
to the honor of the present Executive, tut
siDce his inaugurat ion no troops h id been stationed
at polling places. That was true, aud it
may be set down to his credit; but who c >u'd
foiecast the views of his successor, and say
that the scenes enacted under the last administration
might not take place under the
text. The return of certain gentlemen to
public life boded no good to the republic,
lie proceeded to argue that under t he constitution,
the federal government had no power to
keep troops at the polls. He was not one of
those who believed that the late war had swallowed
up all the powers of a state. He then
branched off to the consideration of t he supervisors
law. which he characterized as a dlsrepu,
table scheme of the republican party to keep
itself in power. He could never t hink of mat
law wilhout a feeling of indignation and scorn
for the head which could conceive and t'ie
hand which could trace it. Talk about American
citizenship, about the "land of the tree
ai d the home ot the brave,"' and then turn to
that law, and say whether all that boasted
freedom was not a mockery and a lie. In the
i course of his speech, he alluded to the fact, that
tlieie were but very few intelligent white men
in the south, Mho did not belong to the democratic
party.
Mr. White.?Is It not respectable for a white
man to be a republican in Mississippi ?
Mr. Singleton.?Yes, sir. If he comes there
i ai d intends to be a republican, without showi
lng himself >o be unworthy of citizenship.
Mr. White.?Would not the social ostracism
make It very unpleasant to be a repuolleau?
Mr. singleton.?Not at all, if lie was a respectable
man. But respectable northern men
as soon as they re.ioh the confines of the state
become democrats, because they see at once
that all respectability is on that side.
Mr. White.?Was not .ludge Chlsholm, a respectable
citizen ot your state.killed on account
of polit ics?
Mr. Singleton.?Judge Chlsholm was not killed
cn account of his politics, but on account of a !
i family feud.
Mr. White.?If he had not been a republican '
would he have been killed?
Mr. Singleton.?I expect he would.
Mr. White.?Would his murderer not have
been tried and punished.'
Mr. Singleton.?I cannot tell what might have
happened. He then proceeded to argue in support
of the repeal of ihe Jurors test oath.
At this point the committee rose, aud the session
of Thursday was closed, and that of Friday
commenced, and the House again went into
committee.
Mr. Singleton concluded his speech by pointing
out the inconsistency which permitted members
of Congress and cabinet ministers lo take
tLe modified oath, but denied it to jurors, could
be obliterate from the recollection of man this
measure and the supervisors law it would b_' 1
the happiest day or his life, and for that he 1
would work in season and out of season.
Mr. Weaver was the next speaker. He said j
that the people of the country had listened r>r
many years with impatfence to the discussions
of t his sectional strife. It had become distaste- '
ful to them In eveiy part of the union. During !
the Forty-fourth Congress this sectional bitterness
had lasted from the beginning to the
end 6f the Congress, and it ought to be recol
lected how peifeetly Hat that controversy had
i fallen upon the public mind. All through the
; Forty-firth congress the same eternal strife was j
kept up, and now, in the rirst extraordlniry !
session of the Forty-sixth Congress, whoa the ;
people we)e locking with confidence for relief. I
tnesftrr.e old differences were introduced and
the precious hours were wasted In the disc is- |
slon of this question. He tad been a republican
for twenty-one years; he had fought at home !
and In the field to engraft on the laws of tue i
eouLtry 1 hen ensures rightly contended for by
that organization, but noexternal remedy could
Kive the people permanent relief. The ciin-e
ot tte disease must be removed, and for that it
was necessary to change physicians. He had
been amazed at the gentleman from Keni
tucky (lilac!-.burn) when he had alluded to the !
l eiedliaiy right of the democratic party to rule
this country, and had compared that party to
the Chi'dien of Israel In their wanderings from
Kg>pt to the promised land. Perhaps there
was stire similarity in It, but the gentleman
Lf.d mistaken the army, and It was Pharaoh's
aimyhe had alluded to. That party had got
their Joshua In the Senate and their Canaan in
t he Ucuse, and all the others had fallen in the
i wlieerr ess; and their Moses In isso would die
! en Nebo, particularly If he was a hard-money
i man. The ancient Moses had died on that cele!
brat ed mountain because he presumed In his
own name to strike the rock that was to give
loith the water to refresh the weary caravans of
Fgjpt, and the new Moses, If he represented
this sectional strife and the financial views that
were now killing and murdering the people
of the country would perish also, not because
fce sti uck the rock from which the waters were
to How, but be cause he Joined hands across this
aisle with the hard money men of the republican
side to dry up the fountain of prosperity,
i centlemen on both sides could tight on this
j issue, and then in two minutes stand up on
j Satuiday evening like loving brothers and vote
to carry the House over Monday?bill day?(o
prevent tne greenbackers from Introducing
measures for tne relief of the people. [ Liu 'liter.]
And he told gentlemen on the republican
side that unless they gave the people relief,
they would forfeit t heir opportunity tor vletorv
in isso by a great parliamentary blunder. The
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Garfield) had talked
about revolution in the most adroit and forcible
manner.

The Turkish-Grecian DUpute.
London, April 4.?in the house of lords last
ntebttLe Man)u,s of Lansdowne complained
that the negotiations between the Porte and .
Greece regarding the sett lement of the frontier ,
question were unduly protracted, and reeom- '
mended a resolute guidance of the Porte by the
gieat powers to induce it to comply with their
wishes as expressed at the Berlin conference.
Lota Salisbury, minister of foreign alTairs,
denied that the negotiations had taken a ion?
time, as irem lils own experience of Oriental
negotiations he had known matters of considerably
less importance take much longer time.
Turkey ard Greece have been so far unable to
agree as to the precise frontier. Undoubtedly
at present the prospect of a settlement is not
veiy near. Communications between the powers
are proceeding. The attitude of England Ls
unchanged. She has continued to advise the
Porte. Advice was one thing, but the term
"icsoiute guidance" smacked of saltpetre. He
was not prepared to say that the government
had aimed at that point. Its intention to
bring about a settlement is sincere. The
chances or a settlement will be greater when
the present pressure on another frontier or
Turkey ,s removed. Lord Beacons tield followed J
In a similar strain. lie said he believed there
w ere inr des of fairly adjustlng the matter sao- ;
isfactorily to both parties. He did not take at
all a gloomy view of the subject, and pointed i
out that the advice of the conference to the

a comirand.

Within a few months and In a radius of nine <

widows, comfortably well off, who have mar- I
ried chaps that came tramping along. A while 1
ago you noticed the case of the Southwick wo- *

the fraternity. A few days ago the woman at>- ^

that "Johnnie" not only was the cause of her l

brief honeymoon, she declared she loved him
dearly, and that he only whipped her when he
was mad because she wouldn't at first asking ^

had thrashed his wife above once a week, and i
that he too loved her dearly. Upon this fol- [
lowed a very dramatic scene, the woman rush- =

The EiODrp or Colored Pbopli from Loulcana

f f cessation. The St. Louis Rejmbiinan if M nr
ay states that hundreds of colored emigrants
ad arrived to lhat city on the previous <i*y on

day the steam i>oat Durfee started up the Missouri
river with seven hundred emigrants. It
was reported that thousands more were on the
banks of the Mississippi a waif in* an opp >rtuulty
to go north. The land-owners in tne parishes
of Louisiana most affected by the drain
are taking measures to induce the negroes to
tay at home, but so far all efforts to stop the
[light of the blacks have proved ineffectual. * A

still prevails as an epidemic, although departures
up the river are not near so numerous as a
week or two since. The Anchor line s'eamor

w ork on their crops, and will defer their departure
until next spring, when there will be a
