For some months now this most e- ' markable_movement of the colored po illation in the South has !)een going f r - ward. The States whence the emi tion proceeds are notably those Louisiana and Mississippi, and the n w " Eldorado" whence this swart y stream of population is flowing, is- t e broad and fertile prairie belt of Kens s. Ten thousand persons are said to ha're left the "old plantation " and taken p their abode in the last mentioned Stat Political antagonism with the Southe whites is without doubt one of the chi f c auses of this migration. The Sout ern black, though now a freeman and a citizen, has not that coinplete enjo ment of his rights that a citizen of a free country should possess. Alterna Ly the tool of the unscrupulous "carpe bagger" and the pitiable victim of t e Ku -Klux -Klan, his lot, since emancip tion; has been in many respect3 a mot unenviable one. Nor since the adve t Of Preeident Hayes does the condition f the black appear to have improved, b t rather the reverse. Unlike the labor r and workingnaan in the 'Northern s well as European cities, during tis e present financial crisis' there is pleb y of work for him to al, and reasonab y good pay as well. Neither is it allege with any degree of truth, Ithat he is m willing to work. On the 'contrary, a -r cent writer, by no means a partiza but remarkable for the vigor and i partiality with which he, discusses t o negro labor question as well as t e ' many other political _and econona c problems of the South, says : " T e negro, la the main, is indastrious. Fr labor is an undoubted sticcess in t South. In Georgia he ,already ow nearly 400,000 acres of rnal estate, b sides city property. The negro work he raises cotton and corn, sugar an rice, and it is infinitely to his cred that he continues to do s ing to universal testineo steadfastly and effectiv than ever before since 18 , and 'accor y, works mo ly this ye 5, in spite the political laurly-burlt in which has lived for the last ten dently the moving cause exodus is the unhappy • e years." Ev f this colore olitical asso - ciations with which the colored citizen is surrounded, and from which he is • now apparently making a vigorous e - fort to free himself. T is moveme • t threatens disaster to the South. •Fo however the more violen and extrem section of the whites may dislike th colored voter controlli4 through th ballot box, the politics pf the Stat they cannot do without 1im as a 1 borer. It is not, therefo e, to be wo dered at that political le dors on th Demecratic and Republiean sides r spectively should be .on the alert to re dress and modify, as far as possible, th grievances of the colored voter. Bu whether their plans will go far enough, or going far enough, whether their ap plication is not now, too late, remain yet to be ascertained., The Zulu War. Sir Garnet Wolseley has been sent t conduct the war againgt the Zulus Undoubtedly England has at last go the right man in the right place. Th British public may now confidently ex pect that the blundering ofLord Chelms ford and the incapacity of Sir Bartl Frere will be amply atoned for. . Sir Wol seley's brilliant success , in the Re River Expedition, and later in. the b far more important Ashantee- War, i a sufficient guarantee that this Zuli:l affair will be brought to a successfu and honorable issue. The nation' has confidence in him, and the army has confidence in him. The.task, however, of bringing order out of this African chaos is by no ro.eans an easy one. The Zulus, savages as they are, have shown such energy, bravertr and skill as prove them foemen not unworthy of British steel. Possessing a knowledge of the wintry minutely accurate, having im- mense powers of endurancie, and living sumptuously on what would starve a British soldier, the Zulu Ntarrior has it in his power indefinitely to prolong the struggle. In the guerilla mode of war- fare, which ultimately he will likely adopt, he has great advanItages, which he will not be slow to profit by, and in- deed it is said that he has already learnt to be shy of meeting his enemy in the "open." Recent intelligence has it that King Cetewayo is ! desirous of peace, and that on peaking known his deeire to the British authorities by his raesseuger, he was promptly told that 0 peace could be had, but onl ditional 'surrender. It is ported that Cetewayo's arm on uncon- further re-: is in a de- moralized condition, owing to recent reverses; that his men are tired of the war, being animated by no comnion feeling of patriotism, but held together and compelled to fight simply through fear of the. king's -displeasu e. But this is extremely improbable. formed do not anticipate he best in - successful termination of the war short of two 'campaigns. England has' now; how- ever, what she sadly lacked at the com- mencement—a numerically 'sufficient force in the field. There are twenty thousand troops in the immediate vi- cipity of the war. This at is suffi- cient to allay any anxiety that may have arisen as to the ultimate safety of Her Majesty's dominions in South Af- rica. With the gallant Sir Garnet Wolseley as commander of the forces now under his control, we may confi- dently expect the 'entire discomfiture and complete submission- of his sable highness King Cetewayol News of the Week.

To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. • DEAR SIR: When I left Seaforth three months ago I promised to write you a few lines to publish when the war news, National Policy, elections and police items were scarce, only be sure to cor- rect bad. grammar and worse spelling, and make it readable, as you do our olcl friend Pringle's letters, as well as Jack - 298 lion's, Logan's, Bishop's and many 51 others. On the 22nd. of February, we left the 26 city of New York for Glasgow in one of 46 the finest steamers afloat, and after a 43 very cold and stormy voyage of ten days we landed into tho smoke and.fog 115 of that busy city, whose population ex- ceeds that of any other in Great Bri- tain, excepting London. It should have 82 been called "Blackstone" instead of 26 Glasgow. The buildings are very hand- -90 sotnely-built of a light-colored stone, 26 but a new built house in a few months as black as its neighbor of a century 224 old. We took advantage of a Saturday 60 night to ramble through the town along " Argyle " to the " Sant Market," a low 49 part of the town, and were regaled by 42 the strong smell of Irish twist tobacco 891 and Scotch whiskey—drunken men by 104 the dozens and occasionally the sad 06 spectacle of One or two of the fair sex _ jostling in the crowd quite drunk. We 380 concluded from our acquaintance that 66 there is more whiskey or spirits drank here than in all the rest of Great Britain put together. You ask why is this thus and we confess at once our inabil- ity to gratify your laudable curiosity. It may be that these "spiritually" 266 minded. Glasgowegians feel bound to 86 support their public institutions; and if they are occasionally " overcome " in 77 their acxiety to "let Glasaow flourish," 76 —if they find that the taskofsupporting 84 thousands of gorgeously painted whiskey palaces upsets their equanimity—why, 237 are they not martyrs—to a bad cause? 65 This whiskey affair is the only apparent blot in this great city. Few cities are 59 as well situated by water or land. In, 58 a few hours you can breathe the finest 'air and see every variety of scenery the 117 eye could wish for. Even from the city itself fine views of hill and dale can be seen. But as our trip here was not al - 66 together for pleasure, but to try and make the root of all evil, " filthylucre," we had to travel north to Aberdeen 22 calling on our way to see some friends. There are some fine places on the route. "Bridge of Allan "and "Crieff," both 43 have large Hydropathic Establishments, 61 which are greatly patrouised in the 48 summer, and even then, winter as it 42 was, they were much frequented. What astonished tutwas that few sick 194 people go. To see them eat at the four 85 o'clock dinner would shame a dock la- borer. 94 66 106 RECAPITULATION.

The sun did its very best to show a smiling face, and to persuade us that it was the veritable and self- same orb which brightens the land of the West, but we had to accept the evi- dence cum gram, sails. Several times we sallied forth on the hill side to re- fresh our optics with a prospect of land- scape. Occasionally the result was, "we missed the view, and viewed the mist." So many changes in a day here. We wished, at our favored moments, our friend Mr. C. had been here; we fancy he would have had it on canvass to re- mind him years after of his visit. We were anxious to see Sir Walter Scott's " Lady of the Lake," and on. enquiring of the Captain of our little boat where she could be found, he pointed to a rock and said, "Rob Roy's cave." We thought he was tchaffiug," but it ap- peared from what followed,he was hard of hearing. A gent in tall ulster and eye -glass on asking him if he could get' time to go and have a glass of wine with him, remarked the weather was very fine. From this blissful spot we were transhipped to the market toon of Perth. We attended the cattle and sheep sales of M & Fraser,a.nd were astound- ed at the aniount of business these mett do, and the great facilities offered to farmers to acconanaodate the stock they bring for sale. Every variety of cat- tle and sheep is to be seen here, and in great numbers and all sold at auction. Young cattle appeared to have the run, two -year-olds of fair at £18 to 121, or $90 to $105 (in rough figures.) It seemed to me some of our Seaforth cattle buyers could. make money on this class easier than on fat cattle. Sheep sold readily, crop ewes and lambs at 40s to 50s ($8 to $10.) Farmers here grumble at the prices and no wonder. Fearful has been the loss, fully 10 per cent. of the sheep in Scotland have been killed. with the cold, and the extra cost to keep the rest alive, together with low prices for wool, gives just cause to complain. It has been winter here since the' latter part of October, and. the oldest inhabi- tant has no recollection of a worse. Time up, with our 3rd class ticket in our pockets, we left for Manchester, the greatest cotton market in Europe. Cot- tonopolis as itis justly called, is ahead of other English towns in many re- spects. Its daily papers a.,re conducted in a style and with an enterprise far above other provincial journals, and will _compete with the best London dailies. Music, too, is greatly encouraged. Itt this line of industry Hailes' band, of whieh- every one has heard, is located ler, as is also the hardly lesscele- brated orchestra of Mr. de Jong. The new. Merchants' exchange is the finest in England, and within the past six weeks the lucky ones have made mil- lions on the Lisbon cotton. They have not had such a chance to make money for a very long time1 at least two years. After spending a few days' hard work at Huddersfield, Halifax and neighbor- hood, we left for Liverpool, our native town, with, its docks, ships and ware- houses filled with the products of every clime. The landing stage, a floating one, that rises and. falls with the tide, cost over $1,000,000, and is &busy place. Walking along there ten days ago, who should we meet but Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Michael, of Seaforth, who had just ar- rived after a quick but rough passage by one Of the Allan steamers. They both had been casting up accounts, or as they say here, "Neptune had been collecting his taxes from them," as they cane over his territory. They are in for many a good. time with old friends. A few days after we met Mr. David Walker, Walker House, Toronto, and. his two daughters. They had. been to see the Hanlan boat rae,e, and. were en route for London, Paris, &c. It does a " fellah " a lot of good to ro.eet Can- adians on this side of the herring pond.

The gar- den is small, but neatly and beantifu y laid out, but for a Queen not up' to r expectations, nor in keeping with t e Royal residence. As no one came - ter usi to say the Queen wished to ee us, we strolled around to the back ya d, and arrived at a gate, the entrance of, the Royal Mews. As we entered a Royal beef eater stopped us and took s. into the office and made us enter o r names. He called a groom to go wi, h us to show us the 'osses and carriages.

But, Sir, roy intention in writing to you now is not so mach to try and re- move the impression which has been pro- duced against Canadian salt for dairy purposes by the interested. agents 4f foreign manufactarers, as to remove ai erroneous impression about what I said at the meeting on the point as to methods of naanufs.cture in England and. Canada. I did say that thle method of making dairy salt in Eng- land was different frorn that generally • used. in Canada, but I did not intend to contiey the meaning that the Eng-, lish method Was the better. On the contrary, I wii3lied to convey the idea that so far as producing a pure and genuine artiele of salt, the Cand.- se_ dian method was much the taak. as our manufacturers use absolutely no foreign material of any kind, walla. the English maairtfatturers use litre* of old cow heels, rancid butter, Pawn sian blue, &c., in making their daity salt. The gelatinous matter in tie cow heels and the high flavor prodnee,i by the rancid butter contribute largab. I have no doubt, to the "meaty" Sawa which our cheese men admire as one ea the results of using English salt. / said at the meeting, and I repeat hem that oar Canadian salt is the nem* and best in the -world, and that if there was any failure to succeed. with it ia curing either cheese or butter, it Must be in the method of using. I •said was quite possible that our salt, heal the absence of foreign greasy orgelatin- ous substances in it, was -more apt to clot or form into lumps than the Eng. lish salt, and consequently that dairy,. men should be more careful in using at. To have it well crushed between clot% with a hand roller, and when putting it into the vats to pass it through a flee sieve. If these precautions are taken, there is no danger of any failure Avith, - Canadian salt. Professor Arnold was under the impression that Canadian salt contained a larger proportion at what are called the deliquescent chlorides of calcium and ma.gnesimn than the English or American salts. But this impression was entirely removed before he left the room, as 1 shewed by the various analysis published in their own pamphlets by the English manu- facturers, and by the official. analysis made for all the wells in Huron bytits Canadian Government, that the Can dian salt is far freer from those objeti- tionable impurities than any of the other highly praised varieties.
