EXODUS IN 01YEN COUNTY.

A Lot of Koxth Carolin Negroes Arriya at Spencer. Interview With Them by Our Correspondent. Reported lor the Bentlnel.l SrExcKB, Ind., Jan. 2. The "exodus" has struck Owen oonnty at last. Yesterday evening, after the 6:10 train arrived, word was brought up from the depot that a lot of North Corolina negroes had came In on the train. Thia morning your correspondent Interviewed two of the best looking of the men one Aiberi rbillips, who lived in Edgecombe county, on Widow Merritt's land, and Lewis Tope, who lived near lLocky Mount, Nasb county, North Carolina. They say it wm reported, wbra they lived, that that they could live easier In Indiana; that alter six months' residence in Indiana they could buy good railroad land for $2 50 per acre, and after five years' residence they could get 1G0 acres of land for $1S. They eav tliey were. 5 T ER MOLESTED BY TKMOCRATS for voting the Republican ticke but were talked to and persuaded to vote the other way, and eome were bought to vote. They say they were not driven out by bad treat ment in that way, but came to better their condition. Others report that some of the negroes make different reports. I give the talk as I heard it myself. There is considerale excitement over the matter, but it is hoped nothing serious will result from it. All good citfzens of all parties will u?e their influence against any demonstrations of violence, ss the poor negroes are not to blame. The blame should rest npon the shoulders of those who so cruelly delude these poor, ignorant people with prospects so false, and with promises they can not fulfill it they were so disposed. A IBl'EL WR05i IS PERPETRATED on the negro?8 themselves, and a heavy blow struck at the prosperity of both Norta and South by the originators of this exodus of negro labor from the Sontb. They are taking laborers from the South who are needed there, and sending them North where they are not tfcnoanded. At Spencer there is no deficiency in laborers "We have enough to supply the demand. The price of labor la certainly lw enough here now, and there is no tecesi'y for the Introduction of a lot of needy laborers, who must have immediate work at any price or live on charity. If this exodus business can be fixed upon the Republican paity, that it has been originated and carried ou by them for polilical purposes, they will nod it a losing game. White laborers will vote against any party resorting to such cruöl expedients. The guil y party ought to be buried too deep to be over resurrected. .

Two Fathers "Who Stole to Buy Food For Their Children. IJIew York Sun.l A policeman saw a man break the show window of James Fleming's plumbing store, at 2'J West Twenty seventh street, early on Christmas morning. Plunging his right band thromh the opening in the broken pane, the man drew out some glitt eniDg pieces of metal, hid them under his tightlybuttoned coat, and walked swift y down Sixth avenue. At Twenty-sixth street the policeman arretted him, and took- him to the Thirtie'stret police station. There he gave the tiame of James Smith, of 172 Mulberry street The policeman took six brass faucets, woith about $12, from under his coat. The coat was thin and much worn, and Smith had no overcoat Ilispocktti were empty. He was locked up for sevtiul hour", and then taken to the Jefferson Market police court On the way to and in court be maintained the silence that be had broken only to give the name and address that he claimed. lie was arraigned before Justice Flamroer, the charge of burglary was made and an affidavit was drawn up, but he was silent. Justice Flamroer said, hastily writing his name at the end of the commitment, "Committed to answer in the general sessions, in default o $1,000 bail. Take him back." A policeman led Smith from the bar. As he was on the threshold of the door leading Into the prison, Smith, covering his face with his banda, wept and sobbed to that all in the court room heard him. "My poor wife, my poor boy," he cried. "They are starving." Justice Flammer heard hi j cry, and said: "Officers, bring that man to the bar again." "The officers obeyed, rnd Smith, still weening, stood before Juttice Flammer. "My wife and child, judge," be said, "arc, at home without a morsel of food. I left them this morning to get something for them to est, and I could not In desperation, judge, I broke that window; and stole the faucets. I wanted to pawn them far broad." 'Justice Flammer told Policeman McSally to go to the house at 172 Mulberry street, and ascertain whether Smith told the truth. McSally tcok Smith with him. When they reached Mulberry street, Smith said: "Officer, I wanted to keep my real name e secret I supposed that I would have to go to State prison, anyway, and I determined to go with my mouth nrmly dosed. ISutwben I thought cf going to prison, perhsps for years, and leaving my wife and child destitute, I broke down. I want to tell you now that my real names is James Howari." The policeman and Howard climbed the outside iron stairway of the rear tenement at 172. In two bare rooms on the top floor Howard said his wife and child were. 15ut no one was in the outer room, the kitchen. There was no fire io the stove, and the rooca was very cold. At the sound of the men's voices a boy came from the inner room. He sprang, with a cry o' joy, into his father's arms. Then he led his father to the inner room where his mother lay. The meeting between the husar.d and wife wa? touching. Part of a loaf of bread wai all the food in the rooms. This and some milk, the boy said a neighbor gave him for bis s ck mother and himself. The neighbors said that the Howards have borne an excellent repute. Then the policeman and Howard started to retarn In the street they met an agent for the Society for the Improvement of the Condi tion of the Poor, who furnished Mrs. How ard with a little food and some fuel. When Jastice Flammer reopened court, the police man who had been with Howard reported to him, and he said he would tend a letter to District Attorney Phelps concerning the facts in Howard's case, and he doubted whether the grand jury would indict him. Howard was visited in his ceil yesterday. He said that he is an American ; that he is a carpenter, and be lost his p'ace through sickness, and had been unable to get work since. He said that he had pawned his tools and everything of value that be possessed, and that when he broke the window and stole the faucets he was out in search of food for his starving family, and hardly knew what he did. Mrs. Howard sat over a straggling Iii fe fire when the reporter entered her rooms, last evening. She was wan and very weak. But she said, with an attempt to appear cheerful, that she thought she woald become strong again if she could obtain nourishing food, though her cough does trouble her night and day, and she has had hemorrhages. Sbe asfced over and over again when, in the reporter's opinion, her husband would be allowed to return to her. When the reporter told her that her husoand may not be discharged, if he ia dis charged, until the grand jury hears his case on the 5th of January, she was saddened. ' Oh , sir," she 6ald, "If the judges and the police officers only knew how we have suf fared all these terrible months, they wool! not be hard to him. He has been a kind husband and father, and be has always been willing to work. If tbe jutJg?s would only let him go now, and give him any kind of work, we would be so grateful. He never did wrong before, sir, and I am sure h was not in his right mind when he did this.". A PAD STORY. Baltimore, Dec 20 The death by starva tion and neglect of three young children on Christmas night was brought to light here to day through the sad story of John E Simpson, who was arrested for stealing a number of flitirons from a woman in the northwestern section of the city. The man, who was in the last stages of consumption, and seemed to be completely prostrated, told the following terrible tale of suffering, all the circumstances of which have been carefully verified by the police. He said that he had been out of work for months. His three young children fell sick when he had not the means of providing for them, and he was compelled to listen to their piteous cries for food. Driven to despair Christmas night by the sufferings of the little ones, he rushed from his miserable home, entered the house of the wo nan and stole the irons, which he sold to get medicine and food for the sick children. All three since died, their death, without doubt, being brought on by expos nre and the want of ordinary food and medicine. The father, who was himself almost prostrated from hunger, was committed for the action of the grand jury, which at least insures his being taken care of for tbe present The woman from whom the Irons were taken, with astonishing want of humanity, 1 determined to prosecute the unfortunate man, although he went to her after the death of his children and before she discovered Lis crime, and confessed his guilt, promising to make restitution.

EDISON'S ELECTRIC LIGHT.

All ' Electricians Invited to Visit the Menlo Park Laboratory. Sir. Edison's Rejoinder to Professor Mortou Ills Written Keplie to Pnt Questions The Light Perfected Its Cot. To the Editor of the Sanitary Engineer: Hir Having a sincere respect for Mr. Edison a& an entuuttlasiic and ingenious investigator, I am korry to nee his name used by writers who evidently are fjulto ignorant of the subjects about which they treat, in a way that wl 1 inseparably connect it with discreditable 'because false) claims evHently made in the interest of financial speculators. No one can more thoroughly appreciate than I do the originality of couception. the Indefatigable patience and Immense labor which bave been Involved in tbe series of expertinents of which a Hlcetcb has been gtVen in tbe New York Herald of Sunday, the 21st: but when I see the conclusion of toese, which everyone acquainted with the subject will recognize as a conspicuous failure, trumpeted as a wonderful auccess, I have only left before me tbe t o alternative conclusions, that the writer ot uoh matter must e liber be very Ignorant, aud tne victim of deceit, or a con.cious accomplice in what 1 nothing let-s than a fraud upon the public. uch writing as this. In fact, bus tbe melancholy result of placing Mr. Edison and bis electric light in the same category with Mr. Kel7 and his "water motor." Mr. Tayne and nls "electric engine," Mr. Oarey and hU "magnetic motor," aud others of the same class. Against tbls 1 protest in behalf of true science, and, for the sake of Mr. Edison himself, who has done and Is doing too much really good work to have bis record defaced aud his name discredited in the iuteiests of any stock company or Individual flnancleis. llKNKY MORTON. Stevens' Institute of Technology, Dec. 22, 1ST. Mr. Thomas A. Elison read the abr.e communication in his laboratory in Melo Park last evening. His electric lamps were glowing above hs head. Turning toward the writer, he said: "Every word that was printed in the articls in the Herald is literally true, although it was printed without my knoled"!. Professor Morton does not read btteen the lines. He should invtttigate tint and animadvert aiterward. I nowanthoriza you to extend an invitation to him or any other electrician to visit my laboratory and eee the light in practical eration. No impediments will be thrown in their way. Everything shall be open and aboveboard. If men, however, are wilfully blind, I can not undertake to restore their sight." Tha answers to the lohowiog written ques tions are in Mr. Edison a cn handwriting: "Then you consider your work on the elec tric lieht finished?" "1 radically clone, tnougii i am sun experi menting with a view to reducing its cost." 44 what does it cost now!" "You will have to ask that question of the ollicers of the company In Now York." "How many Hunts, each equal to a näslet. do you get to one norse power'." "iiy lignts are on a. rauooi iu gasjeis per nore power per nour. "What is the power oi your engine? ' "Eighty-horse, power." "What does it cost to run your 'j-horse power engine one hour?" "eveniy-nve cents." "How long do your lights maintain their oower without inlury " "Twenty-three were burning continuously from .Friday last to Wednesday, and it from Wednesday tolOocIocK on Thursday night During this time the eugim; was stopped for an nour to taae water. jot a ugni was in lured, and ad were regulated at the central station. "What was the distance of the farthest light that was burning five days? "Three lights nave been burning that time one -fifth oi a mile away." "Were the 23 all connected with one main wiie?" "Yes." "And more could have been put on the same main wire without increasing the power of the engine or diminishing th.- light of these 23? ' "Yes.500" 'Have the presidents or directors of any gas light companie vim tea your laooratory and seen your light In practical operatlu. "Yes, Bir. Mr, liensou, of one of the Brook lyn companies, and Judge fisher, of the same city, nave been here. There may have been more. A great many persons have called. We have refused admission to no one." "Are any gas men interested in your company?" "1 neither know nor care." "May 1 say that you have read this report, and that it is correct?" "Yes." When we left Menlo Park the 80-horse power engine had resumed its work, and the chunky little generator was churning out the electiiiity, scattering a shower of electric sparks over the floor of the machine shop. Two street I lectric lamps were casti-jg an orange glow upon the snowy meadow in front of Mr. Elison's private office. They material')7 added to the effulgence of tbe moon. Twenty odd electric lights were burning in the Edison buildings, It was a whiter light than that in the strict. It was more like daylight. The intenseness of the Madison Square garden and Broadway lights was gone. There was nothing that could annoy the eye. The glow was mild and steady. There was no flicker In tbe airless globes, anifthe weakest-ered sewing woman cou'd have taken her eltcbes as easily as though she sat by a window at noöLcSay. The engine was running a mass of machinery and working a patent pump, as will as furnishing electricity for the horseshoe burners. This same power can be utilized by those who use the light ia their houses The power that runs the light can run a sewing rrachine, and the meter will tell the exact power used. The consumer thus pays for the power consumed, whether for the sewing machine or for the light. (irant a Fit Candidate. lt. IxjuIs I'ost-Dlspat. h. Pennsylvania which means Cameron has already called its Suite convention and will instruct its delegation for Grant New York which means Conkling absolutely certain to do to. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and Illinois and other extreme Northern Btatcj have practically alieady done so. The "Solid South" Bolid in its dens ignorance and dark venality, eo far as the Republican elements are concerned has naturally bf en for him from the start. Practically, he ia already nominated. It is only five short months when the formal nomination will be made at Chicago. But as to the result there is to dav less doubt than five months before the Republican convention of 1808 assembled at Chicago. And why should there be? Is Grant not the natural candidate ot the Republican party? What reason is there for the assumption that the Republican party should nominate a bat ter or purer man? Is the Republican party itself one whit better? Can the stream rise above its source? The leadera of a political party are practically tbe party. The masses do not think, but simply follow. General Grant will compare well with any of the othpr leaders of his party or any ot the otlier candidates for the Republican nomination. He has as much character as Blaine, has he not? He can not possibly have less character than John Sherman, can he? Yet Blaine and Sherman are the only two oi en rivals for the nomination. Or is Conkling, the great boss of the "machine," superior to Grant? Or Robeson and Garfield, the two pious frauds and leaders of the party in the House? How could the Republicon convention, which will assemble on the 2d of June at Chicago, cominate a better man than Grant, if he must be a partisan Republican? How absurd to expect that convention to nominate a man wno will not represent Its own exact characterl And, pray, what will the character of that convention be? Conkling will present the 70 votes ot New York. i Cameron will carry In his pocket the ötf rotes of Pennsylvania, Southern ignorance and carpet-bsggers

will represent the 270 vote of the "Solid South." Chauncey L Filley, for instance, .will represent tbe Missouri delegation. Logan that of Illinois, Matt Carpenter that of Wisconsin, Zscb Chandler's gbost that of Michigan, and Pomeroj-Plumb-Ingalls the vote of Kanes Is Grant not a perfectly fit candidate of such choice spirit s?

Really, if there be any difference. Grant is not worse, but better, tbm be average Re publican poht'cian of tbe Credit Mobilier and bloody shirt order. He is their natma! affinity, and he will be nominated. RESUME OK THE WEEK'S NEWS. There were M.U deaths in Chicago lat year. General Grant and party arrive! at Fer nandins, Fla., on Sunday.
