Sufficient evidence has been produced before the ii vestigation committee or rath er the County Commissioners to show th.ii it is one of the most in famous institutions that ever dis graced civilization. The investiga tion was brought by the inhuman treatment of a prisoner named Col lins. This man (white) was brutal ly whipped, although he was sick, by a < imin gang guard named Brady. The man after receiving about sixty five strokes with a whip, was then paddled unmercifully with a stave O r board, and his person presents a iroG hortible sight. It has been shown hat the man agement of the camp has been such as to entitle it to die cognomen of a veritable hellhole, Prisoners charged with trifling offences are shackled with iron bands around the leg and chained to each other at night. They are not furnished with water to wash themselves in the morning notwithstanding th y are dirty and filthy from wo king in the swamps thejday previous. The food is unwholesome and insuffici ent and when the unfortu nites complain they are beaten in a shock ing manner and treated worse than before, 'i he guards (all white) have cohabited with the Neg'o women of the gang, and children have been born in the swamps a the result of their debasement. The horrors of the infernal sys tem would not have been brought to light, but for the fact that the last victim happened to be a white m in who was well connected, and the d-termination on the part of Coin missioners Estill and Dorsett to have the investigation take place by the whole Board, and the evidence of villiany made public. If the brutes having charged of the unfortunates treated a white man as they did Collins, their brutality towards the Negroescan be better imagined than wiitten. The Chairman of the Chain Gang Committee it is sai I knew of the barbarities practiced in the camp and whs opposed to the Same being rough tto light before an enlightened people. But ‘ffiat will the investigation amount to? What steps will be taken to correct the evil ? The outraged and disgraced public have n<> remedy that they can apply. The Commissioners are appointed by the Governor for a term of four years. The proper thing to do is to re organize the Board of Com missioners. Can it be effected that is lie question the people should take in hand. CORRESPONDENCE. Lincoln University, i 'hester Co., Pa , January 28. 1888. Editor of the Tribune, Dear Sir ; I whli t’> say * few words through your joui h J for the consideration of the c l ored people of the Soudi. I suw not long since an article called the "South ern Exodus,” in answer to which I make these statements Any one that watches the ebb and the flow of human progress, and views the -tage of life upon which all men are acting; he is amazed at the dazzling genius of some, and horrified at the s u pidity of others. The tendancy of the age into universality aud diffusion. It is far from being such as were the mid dle ages, when art and science were only for the few. Education was l.ock ed up in a tew r >yal societies. The portals of science were guarded by a dark phraseology which was to the multitude a strange tongue, but in this age she has left her retreat, her mystic shades, her selected company of votaries and be gan the work of educating the ma-ses. Never since races commenced to form gov« rniueuts, has any nation made such progress in the same time and under similar circumstances, as the Negro race since the late war. Yet I find that they are in favor of that great southern Exodus; which scheme, should it come about, would weaken the Negro in the South; the very place in which he should be strong. The Exodus scheme calls for 300,000 Negroes to emigrate to South America. It is said that the syndicate has 82,000, 000 capital, as if that money would be sufficient for the sustenance of 300,000 Negroes in such a country as South America. Where at the best, civiliza tion is below par. Fellow-Country-Men; we must not al low our reason to be dazzled by flimsy curiosity. Remember that an exodus like ab other civil movements, is good only in proportion as it betters the con dition of those emigrating. Again we must view it in this light: if those agents have such an interest in the colored people of the Sou'h, let thorn show it by giving that m«mey to Negro < duca tion in the Sou'h, <h«t they would spend in s-nding him to South America, it they are not ready to help him in the South, where he has worked tor almost three hundred year-*, building the South to whnt it is to-day. Th n I can not possibly see any u od motive behind this southern exodus. I think that colored men of the South, should make it their duty to see that no one joins this exodus, but re maiu where they are and get all the land that is possible —Land is ch-ip in Florida and Georu- a—don’t give up your homes for these ‘aithless promi es; things will take a turn so- n. Action and re act on «re equal and in opposite direction; for the day is not for distant when there v i I be heard the sound of ajgong in the tops of the mul berry trees and the sons of Ham will have the victory I Y>>un» Respectfully, A Student JW<> r JTH<’K2 I hereby give notice that Mr. J.
