Colored Emigration

Senator Butler, of South Cnrolina, made a speech of several hours length last week, in the senate, advocating the emigration of colorcd persons from the southern.'states. This is an astoiiishing Idea, tliat men, bom in this country, entitled under the constitution to every right and privilege any other citizen bas, should be transponed to the dark continent. Better is it to think of giving them justice, personal safety and a fair chance for betteriDg their condition. Ho other people of modern times have euffered so mucb, so uncomplainingly as have the colored people of the south. They are beaten and driven from home, robbed and killed, yet they are patiënt, longsufferlng and inoffensive. Give tliem a white maii's chance, oh south. If anybody is to be exported it would be a grcat deal ensier to take out about 10,000 well selected sonthern white bulldozers thau to attempt thecarrying away of 8,000,000 good, peaceable, law abldlng citizens. This would bring peace and order and fair rotlng at less expense. Our southern frlends work their IniBgiuations too hard on this question. More fairness and more generul education will salve the problem. The usual bilí has been introduced n Congress to make the I'residential term six years in length. This should not fail to pass, for everybody except professional politiclans favors the plan. A national campaign coming every four years is too often, because it disarranges business, causes undue excitemenr, and too much expenditure of money. The damage to the business of the country is enormous; not only because of the general demoralization It occasion?, but also on account of the uncertalnty of the result, causing cautlous investors to delay enterprises or give them .,p. The president should have one term of six years and be inellgible for re-election.
