If you want a good square drink of something that will warm you up on Sunday, you will have to "excurt" to Terre Haute, Louisville, Cincinnati or some other neighboring village which has not the fear of the Sunday law in mind. We are closed up here, and don't you forget it. Things must be geting pretty badly mixed up in Pensylvania. Some Republican papers fly both the Regular and Independent tickets at their masthead, while the Colored Republican Central Committee, in session at Harrisburg recently, declared in favor of the Independents. A few foreign imigrants go South; more remain in the Eastern states; but the great bulk of them push into the great West and North-west, beyond the Mississippi, even into Manitoba and other portions of Canada. Our colored people of the South desirous of exodusting should find a pointer in this. The Republican majority in the Houe of Representatives has grasped the bit firmly, and so amended the existing rules that Democratic filibustering can no longer nullify the will of the people by keeping fraudulent representatives in Congress. Speaker Keifer wielded the gavel and announced his decisons with all the firmness and rigor that becomes a successful presiding officer. There will be less foolishness hereafter. ' Tim friends Senator WiNDOM. of Minnesota, are industriously promoting the interests of..that gentleman for the head of the Republican ticket in '84. The points of strength are his connection with the late President's administration, and at the same time his freedom from factional embroilment in the party. These features of his strength, together with his being a representative 3Vest and North Western statesman, and withal an Ohio man from Minnesota, his friends think make him a formidable candidate; and no doubt they do. It seems very strange indeed to hear of one of the most infamous and murderous robbers of the age negotiating with the governor of a state for his surrender and unconditional pardon. Yet it seems that that is the size of the negotiations now going on between Gov. ernor Crittenden of Missouri, and Frank James, elder brother of the late Jesse James, and equally notorious as a robber, murderer and outlaw. We

say it is strange, if true, for it may be a mere rumor. It is not plain that a

governor has4 the right to pardon a criminal in advance of his trial and con viction, even if he is priviledged to have someone kill him. Missouri, however, is a sort of border state in which the guerrilla bandits of the late war have not yet been entirely suppressed; and hence it is, we presume, that the governor wields such extraordinary power 1 rlaRsps. I a- a v a aaa v We apprehend , however, that there are other governors besides Missouri's who have claims on Frank James. j We Differ. We beg to differ with our esteemed contemporary the Jeto lork Uloöe, rei-1 ative to its position in favor of our young colored men of the South all re- j mainit g in that section, instead of coming North or going West. That a large number will remain is to be expected, J and follows the natural course of events; I but we desire to firmly enter our pro- ,:. .nnh lcSl ülitiiiisi nie auuuiiuu ui u cuvu policy on the part of our southern colored people as the Globe seems desirous I OI inculcating.

temporary is uiat because many oi the young colored men oi tne oouin drift into the vicious and thriftless hau-I lis in iew lorKny mey snouia au i remain in the South. This is very bad advice, and we are surprised that the editor of the Globe has fallen into such a palpable error, Why is it bad? Well, we will try to demonstrate. . And we desire to preface .... . . i ... I with a declaration oi pnncipieson mis subject. We believe in the diffusion, not the segregation of the Negro race in this country. Wa would like to see more whites than are going South, and 1 A an immensely greater proportionate number of Negroes coming North than heretofore, which, we hold, would be the happiest solution of the race question that could possibly occur. But to the demonstration. If the colored people of the South were a nonemigrating people, as the Globe would have them, it would clearly show, that ey were an un-American non-assimi-they were an un-American non-assimi- - 'uve peopic, anci nence uoomea to a fe"" ..v..w. vw v.uoovo of American people emigrate, and why should not the Neeroes? Miuum uui me ncgiwsi TheSouth does not afford advantageous opportunities in a business or professional way for all of her young men. This is true of the whites, and thrice doubly true of the colored people. Tis true, doubtless, that if all the young colored men remained there, they could get some sort of work as agriculturists, laborers, or menials, but at very inferior wages, and does not our contemporary see that those who loave do a double service to the rac-i, in that they increase the demand for and the wages of those who remain, as weil as bettering their own opportunities. That they do better their oirn opportunities, if they are of a mind to take advantage of what is before them, is admitted by the Globet for it says they receive greater pay for even menial service in northern cities than they , would get in places of honor and trust in the South. Hence it would seem that these young men should be lectured on habits of industry and economy instead of being advised to remain in the unprogressive and energyless South. We know of hundreds of young men who came North without a dollar, and who are now worth thousands. Of course some are thriftless, and would be so had they remained at home. But every one who came away doubted the demand for his brother who remained. Colonel Inoersol, it was, we believe, who once remarked that it was fortunate that men died, for it gave others opportunities. Those who leave the South help by their absence those who remain. "Unless surrounded by some barrier, and prompted by some motive or desire to improve in some way their present condition, we advise young men to stay at home and build up the South, instead of disgracing their race by aping the vices and vanities of the Northern cities", says the editor of the Globe. To be sure we do not approve of the aping of the vices and the vanities alluded to; but our people are too much of a local, pastoral class, and the broadening influences of contact with the whites in our large business centers, together with the common school education is what is needed to thoroughly Americanize our people. They can't get too much of it. and we would like to see thousands of young men from the South crowding into the West andJNorth seeking employment as farmers, laboren and mechanics. All of them should not and do not go to large cities, but it is as inevitable as fate itself that a certain class will do so, and it is little worth while wasting words advising them otherwise. The proper thing to do b to teach them proper habits of industry and economy, as we have already observed. Our foreign immigrants are frequently thriftless, lazy and ignorant, but their friends do not advise them to return to Europe; they do advise, however, to go to work, save , their money, and do the best they can in their new I

homes. And this is the advice young men from the South should have. M

The points we desire- to make clear itoour Globe friends -is, -that! While- the majority of the colored people will re main in the South, yet there is more scope and room for young men in the North and West; and that instead of being discouraged from leaving the South, they ought to . pe shown the absolute necessity ot leaving in larger numbers -than thev do. . i'They do not come to the North ex pecting political preferment,' hence it Js - , . . - s , . -J unnecessary to discuss that '.question; Who does not know that there are better opportunities for young men m New 4 York,1 Indianapolis,' Chicago and Denver than in Richmond, Charleston, Savariah and Mobile: or in Pensylvinia,'Öhioj Illinois and Dakota, than in Delaware, North Carolina, Georgia and and Florida? , "We think the Globe upon reflection will be' convinced. 1 he du Ijouis uiooe-iemocrat has a new "j i V 0f tWo or four pages, and delivers complete PaI 9 er n or telve folios, "at thfe -ata j-if V.l 111111 nATMAfl iai Kaii ' V a want K Lotnno fnr th Bulletin TiiUvillo RnT. leun. 1 letin. : ; ' . . . , , - ' ' wn n 7 to r .
