Mr. i "ofkkoth. I ak tuianitmoiis con-j ot the black man, it was made very
plain in the Senate last week, in a speech i
delivered by Mr. Jonas, the new Demo- !
cratic Senator from Louisiana, that
neither iolitical peisccntion nor htsoii
al wrongs on the part of the white
against the colored ie('Ie have in any
way caused or contributed to the unex
pected movement in that State. Mr.
Jonas, as his name indicates, is of Jew
ish descent, has long lx-en a resident of
New Orleans, is a gentleman of the
very highest respectability, and entirely
familiar with all matters pertaining to
his own State. We have room but for a.
single extract from Ids leech, and it
refers distinctly to this negro exodus,
which has U en so perverted and misre
presented by Republican paers in th'
North. The brief but clear statement
made by Mr. Jonas ought to satisfy
every fair-minded man who seeks the
truth on this question. He said :

monted the future decadence of the South (

Everv Senator almost who ha spoken since ,

Tiik legislative and judicial appro
priation bill haviag pas! both branches
of Congress, wus delivered to Mr. Hayes
on Monday la.st. This bill, in addition
to providing for the usual appropriations
for the pm poses set forth in its title,
also repeats the jurors test oath, which
is applicable, to and only enforced in
lV.leral Courts in the Southern States,
and also repeals, or essentially modifies,
the supervisors and deputy marshals'
law, which can only be put in operation ()n tVas point h
when congressional elections are held,
and is more specially aimed at the iopu
lous cities in the North and the large
naturalized vote which they contain. It
has lieen stated in advance even of the
passage of the bill by the two houses
that it would hot be signed by Mr.
Hayes that his veto message was pre
pared, and that it would be sent to Con
gress either to-day ( Wednesday), or on
the day following, yesterday. Since the
second veto of the army bill two weeks
ago. the Democratic mein'iH-rs have lieen
waiting for the present threatened veto,
when they will come to a definite con
clusion what course they w ill adopt. It
is a very easy thing to say. as a good
many Democrat ic papers throughout the
country have been saying, that the De
mocrats having parsed the necessarv ap
propriation bills ami Mr. Hayes having
interposed his vetoes, it only remains
for them to adjourn and go home, leav
ing the responsibility of the situation to
be lurne by Mr. Hnyes. This, how
ever, !s manifestly not the course to be
pursued by the Democratic majority, and
they will commit a fatal mistake if they
shouid adopt it a result which we do
not seriously anticipate. Whatever an
tics Mr. Hayes may see proper to iht
form lx fore the. country in the way of
writing contradictory and inconclusive
vetoes, the Democrats cannot afford to
give the opposition the shadow of an
