The Negro Flight. How the stampede originated in u mystery, The negroes thoinsi Ives tell d i ire rent stories. It is u strange disease that is taking them oil'—one that is more catching than yellow lever. "no that is certain, they lire the v.etims ola concerted a plan, and there i a gniioral belief that a tew persons are going to make fortunes at the expense of thou*- ands of the ignorant blacks. K in*a<, "Bleeding Kansas," has been held up to them as their Arcadia. It is the old cry of forty acres and a route. Kvery one of them expects land in plenty in the new country which they are about to explore. Milk and honey arc to he had without work. So strongly arc they impressed with this doctrine that they sell their entire possessions for just enough to pay their fare, being assured that all will he well as soon as their Icet touch the promised land. No other state will do. It is K man. where they are going and all the argumcn and all the logic in the world oou.d not Kbukc them. The stampede, which is now fully inaugurated, is undoubtedly the etlect of several causes. Fir* l come tho land agents with marvelous stores. 'I he negro is told that ho can have all the land he wishes for the asking, an t the more wonderful his statement the more firmly does tho black man believe in it. Then again the negro's condi tion, it must he admitted, is not of the best. lie cannot understand the po*i tion in which he has been left bv the war. In.the old days he was a fixture on the plantation. It made no differ eiice what the state of the crops was; it wa* perfectly immaterial to him whether the planter was pressed far money or not; lie belonged tu the plantation, and there lis remained. Now all this is changed. The negroe c&u't realize that they must earn their own living. Hundreds of them have for years been hanging on to the planta tions without earning their salt. They have remained simply because the planters were loth to turn away oi l servants who bad followed them in years gone by. Had it not been for the hard times and the financial dis tress Kansas would not have boon thought of. Planters have put their liest foot forward to keep above water. If the employer has no money the em ploye must suffer. That is just what is the matter now. Especially in Mississ ippi is the condition of atf.iirs in a tno.t deplorable state. There is no money, planters cannot get advances and the credit system is nlmost at a complete standstill. The negroes cannot help hut he affected by it. No one denies that their condition is deplorable, hut what can he done? A negro is alwwas more or less in a dependent condition. He pays ten dollars an acre rent, but when his cotton is sold he is almost al ways in debt. Especially is this true just now. Nearly every negro sold his cotton at a disadvantage, and his condi tion is much more deplorable today than a year or two years agv. The whites who helped plunder the state under the carpet-bag rule claim that the planters cheat the negroes at every turn. To what extent this is true I cannot say, hut if the negroes of the upt.er country are to ill-treated as it is claimed they are why haven't they long nco gone to work in the cine fields? No one ever thought of pretending, even in the palmiest days of the If turning Board", that the negroes of the sugar di-tricts were bull dosed. There is plenty of room there, and the very best of feeling prevails. Ttir. iiinou nzsriTrTr. I came down from St. Loun the other day. The scene there wss not a pleas ing one. Probably four thousand, ne groes have already arrived there, and others are arriving daily. S.ich destitution 1 have never witnessed. Were the colored men of this city not moving in their behalf the emigrant would starve. They haven't the slight est idea what fhev are to do. They only know that they want to get to Kansas in the shortest time possible. Work has leen offered to several hun dred on the railroads in other states, but not a man accepted.

No action was taken on the ijues tion of p-rmitting gener.il legislation -luring the ; r-"-ent sv-sion, out the sentiment appeared to be strongly in favor of restricting legislative business to the passage of the appropriation bills.
