In April the country was stirred by the sudden and extraordinary exodus of indigent colored people from Louisiana and Mississippi, who fled en masse to Kansas as a promised land in which they could find work at fair wages, and the protection in their legal and political righnly in flight! While, therefore, grave, exciting, and relatively important as the present exodus of a few thousands of colored refugees from Mississippi and Louisiana may be, it is only an incident of the hour, demanding succor and aid in various forms until they have time to select their dwelling-places. But what of the four

It is not simply a lot of degraded Chinese—duped and enthralled by contract—that he objects to; he despises the entire population of the Celestial Kingdom, and (oh, foolish pride!) vaunts himself on the superiority of his own stock! He says: California is capable of maintaining a vast population of Anglo-Saxon freemen, if we do not surrender it to Chinese coolies. Again: The only question we have to regard is, whether on the whole we will devote that interesting and important section of the dely approved. An abstract of it will appear in very many of the newspapers, and so its purport will become known to a great number of readers in various sections of the country. Of course, I am prepared to receive some hot denunciations from California, as I used to from the South for my anti-slavery articles. As far as I can learn, the press, here at the North, without distinction of party, is strong in its rebuke of the action of the Senate. The Boston Journal says that all the Republican

In April the country was stirred by the sudden and extraordinary exodus of indigent colored people from Louisiana and Mississippi, who fled en masse to Kansas as a promised land in which they could find work at fair wages, and the protection in their legal and political rights denied them in their old homes. Thousands obtained transportation by river as far as St. Louis, and thence made their way to Kansas, aided by the contributions which the reports of their utter destitution elicited from many quarters.

nment on the ground of impotency, the old anti-slavery issue is still (and must be persistently insisted [on] as constituting) the paramount issue before the country. I cannot endorse your estimate of Gen. Butler. Indeed, your praise of him is so lavish as to surprise me. He was re-elected with a virtual understanding and expectation that he, of all others in Congress, would be the man to champion the cause of the outraged colored people at the South as against such haughty usurpers as Ben Hill, Gordon, and the rest; but on no occasion has he since, on the floor of the House, made any such issue, or protested against bulldozing the loyal colored voters, or arraigned Hayes's conciliatory policy. Besides, he is sustained by the worst elements in the Commonwealth, and opposed by the best. I hope for his defeat. Yours for the triumph of the right, Wm. Lloyd Garrison.

Speech at Franklin Club Dinner, Oct. 14. The sonnets were printed in the Herald of the 14th, and on the evening of the same day a dinner in honor of his anniversary was tendered to Mr. Garrison by the New England Franklin Club, an association of printers, at Young's Hotel in Boston. Mr. Henry O. Houghton, the founder of the Riverside Press, presided, and the leading printers of Boston, as well as some from New York, were present. Mr. Garrison's address was wholly extemporaneous and colloquial, but spoken with unusual ease and charm of manner. Naturally reminiscent and biographical, in the main, as he recounted his early experiences in the printing-office, and described his various editorial ex

and. In a letter to the New York Times he condemned the Southern policy of Oct. 30, 1877. President Hayes as totally at variance with all his fair-spoken words and pledges, a deplorable betrayal ofuse, made any such issue, or protested against bulldozing the loyal colored voters, or arraigned Hayes's conciliatory policy. Besides, he is sustained by the worst elements in the Commonwealth, and ture to similar action, but without success. I wish I could believe (though I do hope) that President Hayes will interpose his veto; but what he will do remains to be seen. To his son Wendell he ontained in your last letter.
