We really feei very sorry for those North Carolina negroes who have re cently gone oft on a wild goose chase in the direction of Indiana. It may be said by a very few that they deserve no better than disappointment and suffer ing fortheir folly, but we are not of that number, and there are few South ern people! whose sympathies will not go out to them after reading the follow ing special, of the 10th, from Washing ton, to the Atlanta Constitution: The North Carolina negroes who are here en route to Indiana, and too desti tute to proceed further or get back home, are the most pitiable objects I have looked upon in years. They are housed in a church and live upon the refuse scraps from the tables of the neighborhood. A meagre subscription iu the churches on Sunday last has about sufficed to give them a good square day's rations all around. They have gotten heartily sick of emigration before they struck the big road to the place they started for. There is very little doubt that the primary object of those who planned this whole exodus business was of a political character. It was thus hoped to reduce the population of the South and thus decrease its representation in Congress after the next census, and later it has been proposed to run these negroes into Indiana for the purpose of turning the political scale in that State. The negroes fell easy victims to the schemers by reason of the fact that they are visionary in their ideas to an almost incredible degree, but, led off by politi cians, or by their own too easily aroused enthusiasm, they are in any event to be commisserated. The story told in the extract above is but of a piece with the history of this whole exodus movement. On the way to Indiana, there, and on the return, the North Carolina negroes have suffer ed as did their brethren who set out last winter from Louisiana and Missis sippi for Kansas, and for the sake of the negroes it is to be hoped that this season will witness the last of this ill-ti med fever. It were useless to argue to Northern people that we of the South look at this matter from any other than a selfish standpoint, and when we say that we are regretful to see the negroes go off after these wild schemes, noth ing else will be thought of than that we desire to keep them for their services It is of no use to remind them that the negroes who are leaving North Caro lina are all from the second congres sional district, where there is a colored majority of about 8,000, and therefore an excess of colored labor, as labor, and that the same fact in regard to excess of colored labor is also true of Louisia na and Mississippi; but as to the charges that the negroes are leaving because they are defrauded and beaten and killed by the whites, it is worth while to hear Maj. W. A. Smith, Republican, ex-member of Congress from this State, and Republi can candidate for Lieutenant-Governor at the last election. In reply to the question of a reporter of the( Washing ton Post, as to whether or no the ne ,. grdes re badly treated in this State, Maj. Smith said, "There is not a word of truth in the charge." "You are satisfied, then, that they are not ill-treated." "That is all stuff. They are no worse treated than the whites. If they are genteel no one interferes with them." "And regarding their rights T "Thev are never disturbed. They vote whenever they please, and Jiave equal rights with the whites every where. North Carolina is not a land of bondage." . . . .. "09 thf whole, you say they are well treated? 7 f 4 ' i "Of coarse there is some natural pre judice, . but they are comparatively bet ter .treated, there than in any other Southern State. It is a source of com plaint by the poorer whites that there as a discrimination in ravor or tne ne gro in the matter of labor or renting farms." . A Compliment and Yet Not a Compliment. The Raleigh Farmer & Mechanic,m introducing to its columns a recent editorial from The Observer entitled -The SoutL'a Position in the Union, does so in the following lan; guage, conveying a very equivocal com pliment: s The following article is word for word as we would desire it to be writ ten. Indeed, it hath a familiar sound ; but is from The Charlotte Obser ver. This of course means that the article referred to was probably an. outside production. To deny this is probably not necessary; to pass it over in silence might be construed as "confession in avoidance." We accept the former al ternative, and blushingly' confess that good, bad or indifferent, the editorial in question was an all-home produc tion. A Handsome Birthday Saluta tion. Few people have happier inspi rations than Mr. Bob Ingersoll, bad lot though he is in the estimation of every uenever m tne noiy JiiDie. or evi- deuces of poetic emotion, for happiness of metaphor, for genuine feeling and for thorough grace and beauty of ex pression, his oration over a brother who died less than a year ago stands unsur passed in all our elegiac literature, ' and yet there were in that few happier thoughts than is conveyed by this, ad dressed to a friend who had just turned his fortieth birthday: So you have reached the edce of th autumn, where thoughts grow and mem- J cries wither like the leaves. In a little J wniie. arter a iew Drier days, you will reach Ou 'life's highway 'the inn where all are welcome guests and where the onlr salutation ': ever beard is "Good night' The rules of the House of Represent atives have been reduced to fifty, and It is now believed that it will be possi ble tot 1 the: humblest representative to knoW 'what-lie' must do and how to do it Hitherto there has been a labyrin thine confusion. ' Moiie IIor&id Rebel Raids. The Commissioner of Pensions estimates that it will take $40)00,000 to pay all the pensions next year, including those brought into existence' byt that fierce, "raid on the treasury" embodied in the arrearages of pensions Dill, which those dreadful "rebel brigadiers" helped the Republicans pass, although the bill was exclusively for the benefit of Nor thern soldiers and brigadiers. One hundred thousand new claims for pen sions have been filed, of which 90,000 are doubtless fradulent, but they wilj be paid all the same. No doubt about that. Randall for Tilden. Speaker Randall has been unbosom ing himself in relation to his standing with Mr. Tilden to' the correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle. ' He said: "My acquaintance and friendship with Mr. Tilden began early, and since its inception I have been unswerving in my fidelity to the man." "You are, then, his earnest friend?" "Yes, sir; and I firmly believe that an enormous crime was committed when he was prevented from occupying the position to which he had been elected." s "Then you are for the re-nominatiori of Mr. Tilden?" "Coupling fidelity to the man and my belief in bis deservings, I candidly think Mr. Tilden should have another chance." "Why do you think so V" "Because he had organized the Dem ocratic party in the State of New York in 1865, and had been its recognized leader ever since until the break came last fall." "Will not the trouble between him and Kelly continue?" "No," replied the Speaker, "negotia tions are going on that will bring har mony to the Democracy of New York, so that Tammany ana anti-Tammany, Tilden and anti-Tilden will be march ing solidly together to victory in 1880." "How long before we may expect this happy event?" "Within a very short time," replied the Speaker. "Who will elect the next President ?" "The Democrats, of course," said Mr. Randall. "What is Tilden's great element of strength?" "1 believe tne btate or. JS ew x ork ne cessary to the success of the Democrat ic party in 1880, and tnat Mr. Tilden can carry it. xnereiore, i am deter minedly for Mr. Tilden, because he can win." "What about the talk that Tilden will secretly oppose any nominee but himself?" "It is not true, answered Mr. Ran dall."! have talked with Mr. Tilden re cently, and he has told me that whoev er was nominated by tne .Democratic party no matter who it was he would cheerfully support him." Mr. Kandail then spoke nis mind freely upon Pennsylvania politics, and said, notwithstanding the large Repub lican majority in Philadelphia in the late election, and the factions which were fighting him, he would be re elected. New Tear's Day in New York. The New York ladies are again in the field against the practice of tender ing spirituous liquors to their gentle men visitors on JNew i ear s Day. in addition to signing formal pledges to use their influence every way against it, there will be a series of conferences this week, with a view of bringing about some kind oi organization, with a view of making their work more ef fective. They have no desire to court publicity, however, and their proceed ings, consequently, will not be herald ed in the newspapers. Thev believe that work of this character, to be worth anything, should be, as far as possible, quiet work. Many representative fam ilies are taking an active part in the movement. The Trial of the Utes. Tne Secretary oi tne interior has re sponded to the proposition of Chief Ouray to surrender the Indians engag ed in the White River massacre on con dition that they be tried in Washington, by conceding "a fair trial by a mili tary commission outside the limits of Colorado and New -Mexico." A trial in Washington of course was out of the question, and while the Secretary's decision may oe regarded as a com promise, it is not necessarily a surren der to the enemy. The future status of the Ute nation is mixed ' up with this massacre and all that pertains to it, and justice tempered with diplomacy may have a good deal to do 4with the action of the department.

Allison, from the committee on Indian affairs, reported, with two amendments a joint resolution that the Secretary or the Interior be authorized, through a commission of five persons, h. to- be ...-ap pointed by the President; to negotiate with the Ute Indians for their removal from Colorado. Allison stated that ow ing to the fact that the Utes would be in Washington during the recess, it was important that the resolution be passed. Cockrell objected to its present consid eration. If there were any provision in it allowing the removal of the Indians to Indian Territory, he gave notice that there would; be bitter opposition to it. Allison explained that the committee amendments to the resolution express ly excluded such possibility, but Cock rell declined to withdraw his objection and the resolution went over. On motion of Bayard, it was resolved that when the Senate adjourn to-day, it be to meet ilonday next. On motion of Maxey, the senate then took up.and passed the bill appropriat ing $200,000 for the erection of such posts on or near the Rio Grande fron tier as the secretary or war may deem necessary lor the adequate protection thereof. Mr. Cockrell withdrew his objection to the consideration of the joint resolu tion for the removal of the Utes from Colorado, and offered an amendment that the Indians be removed to some suitable place not in Indian Territory. The amendment was agreed to and the resolution, as reported and thus amend ed, passed. On motion of Mr. Uutler, the feenate took up and passed the joint resolution authorizing the secretary of war to lease the arsenal property in Charles ton, S. C, to the trustees of the Holy Communion Church institute for its use and accommodation. Mr. Plumb introduced a bill to amend the Revised Statutes relating to taxes upon banks and bankers. It provides that no association shall be liable to the tax imposed by section 5254 of the Re vised Statutes upon any sum under the name of deposits which may be deposi ted with any other association, bank or banker, and which is subject to taxation in such association. The bill also pro poses to exempt from taxation deposits in provident associations, savings banks and savings fund institutions, except in cases where the deposit to the credit of one person, firm or corporation exceeds $2,000. In such case the excess above that amount is to be liable to tax. At 1.55 the Senate went into execu tive session and when the doors were re-opened, adjourned until Monday. House. Baker, of Indiana, from the committee on appropriations, report ed the fortification appropriation bill, appropriating $375,000, which was ordered printed and recom mitted. He gave notice that he would report it back to-morrow morning and ask its consideration. McCoid, of Iowa, from the commit tee on manufactures reported back a joint resolution proposing an amend ment to the constitution, relative to trade marks. Printed and recommitted. A bill has been introduced by Acklen, of Louisiana, and referred, for the ap pointment by the President of commis sioners of inquiry to examine the sur veys of the contemplated canal across the Isthmus of Panama. A resolution was offered by Shelley, of Alabama, and referred, for the ap pointment of a select commission of five to investigate the causes of the ne gro exodus from the South, and report such measures as the exigency may re quire. The House is now considering the bill that was up yesterday, as to unload ing ioreign ships at ports or delivery. After some discussion the bill relat ing to the unloading of foreign vessels at ports of delivery was recommitted. Converse, of Ohio, from thecommit tee on public lands, reported a bill amending the act of March 3rd, 1879, with reference to registry fees to be be paid by homestead settlers. Passed. The House then went into commit tee of the whole on the bill authorizing an allowance lor loss by leakage or casualty of spirits withdrawn from dis tillery swore houses lor exportation. Morrison, of Illinois, who originally introduced the bill, spoke in its support, and stated that it had the approval of the commissioner of internal revenue. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House, whereupon it was passed. Hubbell, of Michigan, from the ap propriations . committer reported the pension appropriation Dm mcb was ordered printed and recommitted. The Diu appropriates u $32,4uo,ouu an in crease of about $3,000,000 over last year's appropriation. -The House then adjourned. ' " k ; A NOMINATION. - James B. Sener, of Virginia was nominated by the President to-day to be Chief Justice of Wyoming Terri tory, .; if ,-;; The Nihilists and the Czar. London, Dec. 11. A Berlin dispatch says: "A St. Petersburg letter states that.the same day the Czar arrived at pt. Pe.tersb,UTg, the revolutionary com mittee issued a most violent proclama tion which is being distributed daily and in which they avow that the late attempt on the Czar's life was made by their order and though the attempt failed they are not disheartened but read jr to try again." The "Pane" on ITahig-a Khan v LoNpi)ai Dec. 11 A dispatch from -Babul says the most damaging evidence has been obtained against Yahiga Khan, father-in:law of Ameer Yakoob Khan, in the discovery of a" mounted copy of a large map of Turkistan bearing Cava guari'sname in full, with the date, 1865 hidden in a box containing cloth ing louna in x aniga Jvnan s nouse. Still Going- to Indiana. Petersburg, Ya, December 11. A large number of colored emigants from Goldsboro, N. C, have passed through here during the past few days, en route to Indiana.
