A HEW KODtffl. I

Of late considerable has bceA said oi the colored exodus from South Carolina to Arkansas, and various reasons have been given for it. Some assert that it is because they ean find better land in the latter state, but the Charleston Newa and Courier comes out with a mournful story, and admits that the movement of a political nature. Whole settlements have been depopulated, and the planters see their laborers leaving them in a body. An instance ia given of A strip of laud twenty-four miles long and five miles wide, which has been deserted by at least four-fifths of the colored people. Those who join in the exodus complain that they are either deprived of the right to vote, or if they are allowed to vote their ballots are not counted that they are wholly without representation, and bat all their interests are in the keeping of their political enemies. In Edgefield county the planters have taken a conspicuous part against the colored race, and have encouraged the organization and maintenance of the "red shirt" rifle clubs at all times, and on every occasion the colored man has been suppressed, until it came to be tbe boast of the bourbons that they had "got the niggers under." It could not be expected that this state of affairs could be continued indefinitely. Curses come home to roost, and South Carolina ia now in a fair way to reap a full benefit. The oppressed are tired of the long continued oppression. Their political rights have been withheld too long. They know that all the poweis of the state have been used to keep them in a servile condition, but a day ot reckoning has arrived at last, and tbe downtrodden and oppressed are leaving the scene of their oppression by thousands, and are seeking homes where they hope to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and reap the full benefit of all the rights and privileges conferred upon them by the constitution and laws of the country. That South Carolina is losing much by the change there iB no doubt, and it is equally as certain that the planters can throw the blame upon their own shoulders.

A NOVEL SCHEME.

Mr. Maginni*, member of congress for Montana territory, has a novel plan for diepoBiDg of tb? Mormoli question. He proposes that congress divide Utah territory, giving the western portion to Nevada, the southeastern to Colorado, and the remaining northern portion to Ida ho and Wyoming. He argues that this would make the Mormons citizens of Colorado and Montana, and, hence amenable to established laws concerning the crime of polygamy. He sayp. "I» there aay reason why Utah should not be blotted out of the map? And would this not be a better, because less violent and more natural, way to deal with the Mormon problem than any other that has been proposed." The New York Herald does not favor the plan, and offers the following strong and unanswerable argument against it: "The national government has no right to shirk its plain duty with reference to polygamy by handing it over to be dealt with by the states, or any of them. Utah is now part of the national domain. The general government is in duty bound to relieve it from polygamy before disposing of it finally in any way. The government has more power to suppress polygamy than any state can have, and it now has Mormonism in a compact and tangible form, so that it ought to be easily possible to strike off its hundred heads at once. Finally, the addition cf Mormon territory to the crest of the Wasatch Mountains to Nevada, which Mr. Maginnis proposee, would Mormonize that state. The part of Utah which it is proposed to annex to Nevada has the capacity for sustaining a larger population thanaqj latter state now has. The Wasatch mountains are unquestionably a natural dividing line bat," as the Heraldforcibly says: "The mormon question ia too serious a matter for the modes of dealing with it to be swayed by considerations of 'landscape gardening.'"

The supreme court has rendered two decisions this week which settle the question of the jurisdiction of justices of the peace under the new law. In each of the caees the lower court held that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in cases other than those punishable by fine only. The supreme court says that justices have jurisdiction in all cases where a fine is the only punishment that must be inflicted, though imprisonment in the county jail might, but need not necessarily be, imposed but that magistrates have no jurisdiction in cases where both fine and imprisonment must be assessed in punishment. The decision gives justices jurisdiction in cases of assault and battery and malicious trespass. It places them in precisely the same position in which they stood under the old law.

Bayard and McDonald take about the same stand on the tariff question, and both would like to ride into the presidency on it, while Pendleton hopes to attain the same object through his civil service reform views. Tilden has not yet been heard from, but he will certainly express himself when the proper time arrives, and General Hancock may say Something when he learns who tariff is, and why he is for revenue only.

The house committee on invalid pen. sions has been organized. Bills iotroducd by members for this Btate will be referred as follows: Those by Heilman, Cobb, Stockslager, Holman, Matron and Browne, to Mr. Browne those by Peirce, Orth, Demotte, Peelte, Colerick and Calkins, to Mr. Matson. Commissioner Dudley waa present at the organization and rendered assistance by explaining matters connected with the work of the committee.

Illinois ia proud that it haa been the home of auch men aa Lincoln, Grant and Douglas, bat no man la proud that Guiteau waa once a resident of the state, or that the state furnished him attorneys for his defense. There ia aome excuse for Scoville, who haa the miafortune to be the wretches brother-in-law, but Reed cannot gain much credit by hia volunteer defense.

Governor Gear and Congressman Kan son withdrew froai the Iowa senatorial contest and the republican caucus nominated, by acclamation, James F. Wilson for the long term, beginning "in 1883, and Hon.

PASTS, Jan. 11.—Ministerial paperis state that Gambetta has decided to tender his resignation should the Chamber of Deputies reject the proposal for the reestablishment of the Bcrutin de liste system, included in the bill for the revision of the Constitution, which will be shortly introduced by the Government. Gambetta is anxious to bring matters to a crisis by bringing forward the bill at once.

PARIS, January 11.—There was much irritation manifested by the members of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday in the lobbies. They think that if the system of election is changed, there will shortly have to be a fresb general election. Gambetta's adversaries, part of the centre, hope he will be obliged to remain in office some weeks longer. They consider that if he resigned immediately he would soon regain his former influence. They calculate that even if the bill for the revision of the Constitution, which iti to be presented in the Chamber of Deputies this week, is accepted in principle, there will be much wrangling over it in committee, and that it will be eventually defeated. Such a course of events would best suit Ferry's party.

Gambetta's recent appointments, particularly those of Generals Mirabel and Weiss, have done much discredit to the Government with the more advanced Republicans. The arbitrary dispersion of the procession on Sunday last, Tin the occasion of the Blanqui demonstration, in accordance with the mere decree of the Prefect of Police, is much commented on.

Lieutenants Aubertin and Demartin fought a duel with revolvers recently. Aubertin was shot through the body.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, January 11.—In the Reichstag, to-day, Windt'norst introduced his motion abrogating the law forbidding the exercise of ecclesiastical functions without Government authorization. In supporting it he said that neither the discretionary powers applied for by the Government in the July bill, nor the present lenient application of the May laws suffice to remove the grievances of the Catholics.

Kleosfcht, on behalf of the Conpervatives, and Hobrecht, on behalf of the National Liberal*, opposed the motion. Prof. Yerchow, in the name of the majority of Progressists, supported if, and asked the representatives of the Bundearath to state their views.

The Imperial Secretary of Stale for the Interior, Von Boetticher, replied that Bundesrath must maintain an attitude uf reserve. The motion being for an abrogation of the law, the Government conld not constitutionally tpprosch the question until the Reichstag had adopted the motion. If the Eaiperor, he said, should consent to the introduction of a measure such as nobody last year could have anticipated, it should be received with thankB and reverence. .,

THE GUITEAU CASE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Distnct Attorney Corkhill, when asked this morning how the rulings of Judge Cox were regarded, replied: "Favorable to the prosecution." It being suggested that some people regarded the rulings avorable to the defense, the District Attorney said: "It must be understood that these rulings are entirely distinct irova the charge to the jury. When Judge Cox comes to charge the jury and applies his rulings to the facts of the cane, no one will consider there is anything favorable to the defense." Colonel Corkhill remarked that the Judge had demolished the theory of irresistible impulse.

Scoville says: "The defeseo is satisfied with the rulings. The Bpiritof our prayers has been sustained by Judge Cox. If he delivers his charge to the jury on the same basis we care nothing tor the mere wordsof our instructions." Scoville maintained that Judge Cox had sustained the main points of the defease, and that the question of reasonable doubt waa left just as it ought to go to the jury. When asked whether he still thought the jury would disagree, he said: "I think they will agree on an acquittal. 1 do not think the jury will be influenced by popular feeling. Judge.Cox haa thought more of his future reputation than his present popularity."

Reed expressed himself well pleased with the Judge's instructions. John W. Guiteau is also well pleased. He thinks the feeling against his brother has changed, and that the jury wili disagree, if it don't acquit.

After the court adjourned yesterday, Scoville, Reed and John W. Guiteau called upon Judge Cox, and congratulated him, thanking him for hia impartiality. Judge Cox remarked that he thought the prosecution would be better satisfied than the defense.

REED'S OPINION OF THE ASSASSIN. Col. Reed, associate counsel for the defence{ and Col. Bruce, of Chicago, accompanying him, were the only persons admitted to Guileau's cell to-day. Ia speaking of his interview with the prisoner, Col. Reed said: I am astonished at his mental condition, I have never before, since the trial began, seen him alone, and have never before felt such a firm conviction that the man is a lunatic. He received me, of course, as his friend, and in discussing his case there was no occasion for dissimulation, yet I left him after a three hours' interview thoroughly persuaded, despite the evidence of the learned experts, that tbe man's reason is dethroned. I pushed him with questions almost to the verge of cruelty. 1 tried to depict the enormity of his crime, and endeavored to reach his conscience and discover if be were alive to any of tbe feelings of remorse—if he ever regretted the act, or its attendant consequences, but I could not elicit a single expression that even the most hardened criminal, if sane, might be expected to give utterance to. He said to me with the greatest earnestness: 'The Lord will put words into your mouth with which to convince the jury, and I shall be acquitted, I have no money now, but I shall earn $100,000 within a month after this trial is over, and I will then give you. $50,000.' The smile which accompanied this last remark was so unnatural that it chilled me." When Col. Reed entered his cell Guiteau was engaged in writing, and had before him an ominous pile of manuscript. "Why, how long do you expect to speak?" inquired Colonel Reed. "I can't tell yet a day or two, and perhaps more," replied Guiteau. He finally agreed to conform to Co). Reed's ideas on the subject of hiB speech, but still insists that he shall make the closing address to the jury. This matter will probably be referred to Judge Cox for settlement, if counsel oannot effect an arrangement with the prisoner. Counsel for the prosecution have intimated that they will not object to Guiteau's speaking, but they will doubtless insist upon some limitation.

THE STAR ROUTE CA8ES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The adjourned hearing of the Star Route cases was resumed in tbe Police Court to-day. Blips conducted the prosecution. All the parties arrested on last Saturday were present or represented by counsel. Some discussion ensued as to the first case to be examined, in the course of which Bliss made a statement of the position taken by the Government in these cases.

Bliss made a severe arraignment of the methods pursued by tbe defendants in transferring property from one party to another just before the award of contracts, so that one piece of land worth a few thousand dollars would represent bon.ds to the amount of nearly $3,000,000, and said that under the present law the Postmaster General waa absolutely powerless to prevent the perpetration of such frauds. At the conclusion of Blisa' address the first caBe was called, that against Cabell, Minnix & Dickson.

Post Office Inspector Tidball was called for the prosecution. He identified a statement written by himself on June 2 last, and signed by Dickson, in which Dickson, who ia a relative by marriage of Cabell, charges Cabell and Minnix with conspiring with himself to defraud the Government of legal security by presenting worthless bonds. Tidball was subjected to a searching cross-examination by counsel for the defense, tending to make him acknowledge that the Government has sustained c* Iocs from these contracts. He said he he had been ordered by Postmaster General James to make these investigations, and was not assisted by Gibson and Woodward, although the examinations took place in the same rooms.

P. H. Waodward, another Post Office Inspector, was called to testify, and his examination took the same general direction as that of Tidball. Tbe Conrt adjourned until to-morrow.

Tidball, in the course of his testimony, said there was bad feel ng between Cabell and Dickson, because the latter refused to continue as Cabfll'a bjndeman. He did not remember where route No. 90,901 was rituated. He had obtained the information which formed the basis of his statement from the Government records. Having again confessed his inability to show how tbe Government

lost by these contracts, was interrupted by Col. Bliss, who, tnming tn the opjtosing coun-el, said "I am willing to admit just at tbio point that the Government has lo?t no money by this contract, but—-[here he was

The bill introduced ia tbe House by Representative Robeson provides that the grants of public lands made certain railroad companies and States to aid in the construction of roads and railroads for the benefit of certain corporations, so far as the same have not been earned by tha fulfillment of tbe conditions of the grants, be forfeited, and revert to the United States, and be open to settlement, and that, entries therefor be received at the Land Offices in the districts in which the lands are located, on the terms and conditions prescribed by law. Tfce schedule in tbe resolution enumerates the railroads, together with the estimated quantity of land granted each. The acres amount to many millions and the railroads specified include nearly all that have received grants

VOORHEES" BILL.

The bill introduced by Senator Voorbee?, to repeal the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company's land grant, proposes to repeal the grant to that road, except £0 fat as the road was completed on July 4, 1879, and restores to the Government the lands hitherto reserved along the uncompleted portions.

GOING TO KEET* IT UP.

WASHINGTON, January 11.—Representative Orth nays he is not done with the subject of changing the method of appointing House committees that he intends to agitate it until he.can effect a reform, but that he will have to make a new start. His resolution has gone to its grav& It waa referred to the Committee on Rules, and a majority of the members of that committee believe the Speaker's rights should be maintained. There is one vacancy upon the committee, now, created by the refusal of O.-th to serve. Of the members, the Speaker, Robeson, and Randall, will oppose any change, while Blackburn is said to be inclined to favor it.

THE UTAH CASE.

Indications are that the House Committee on Elections will send the Utah case back to the people of that territory tor another election. There is a strong pressure from the churcheB in behalf of Campbell, which the Committee do not very well know how to resist. They don't like to give the seat to Campbell in the face of the large majority of votes cast for Cannon, and they will probably conclude to hold the election over again as the easiest way to dispose of the case.

THE CONTINGENT FUND INVESTIGATION. WASHINGTON,Jan. ll.-The Senate Committee investigating the contingent fund expenditures examined Senator Sherman to-day, in regard to the alleged irregularities in the Treasury Department expenditures while he was Secretary.

The Senate committee investigating the contingent fund expenditures of the eeveral executive department, examined Senator Sherman to-day, with regard to the alleged frauds and irregularities iflfcthe Treasury Department expenditures while he was Secretary. He disclaimed any knowledge whatever of the irregularities and discrepancies that bad been discovered, and said the Secretary of the Treasury has too many matters of weighty import to look after to watch all the minute details of the department that ho must trust the details to subordinates, and cannot possibly have his eye upon all their acts and accounts. With regard to the allegation that the Treasury workmen had done work upon his houses and been paid oat of the contingent fund, be admitted that mechanics on the Treasury roll had bsen employed by him at different times, but said he had paid for all the work they did out of his own pocket. Pitney was at one time acting as agent for Sherman—collected rentB from the Secretary's tenants and attended to the repairs upon his houses. The mechanics of the Treasury were given odd jobs of repairs as extra work, but their time was kept at the Department and they were paid each month for all work they had done, An account of such extra work as was done upon Sherman's property was rendered to him, and he always paid it, but that Pitney might have gotten the accounts mixed somewhat, and this gare some color to the allegation that workmen were paid for services to Sherman out of the contingent fund. Upon one point Senator Sherman was very positive, and that was that he was charged with and paid for all the work the mechanics did for him. A member of the committee says tbe developments aro all of a very small grade, and that the irregularities involve petty affairs. "But," he added, "the only criticism to be made upon Sherman is that because be could get work done a little cheaper by them he consented to employ in his ownservice the men employed in the department he had charge of." This saving, he said, was evidently what induced Sherman to employ thoBe men they were willing to do extra work at lower rate? than outside mechanics.

AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The agricultural convention to-day, resumed the dia.ussion of the subject of organizations in aid of agriculture. Papers were read on experimental stations as educators of the farmer, and cooperation in agricultural experiments, which were referred to a committee. At the afternoon session a paper was read by President Peabcdy, of the Illinois Industrial University, upon the legitimate work of land grant colleges, the discussion of which occupied the remainder of the session, and resulted in the appointment of a committee upon that part of t*he Morrill educational bill now pending in Congress which relates to the further endowment of agricultural colleges from the proceeds of land sales.
