Listen to Reason.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.—The African
exodus crowd rendezvoused here still wander
aimlessly a out the city with do idea of
how they are to get to Savaunah, yet they
confidently claim that they will start for

Beuger agent of the E -at Tennessee road has
been called on for reduced rates for 1,000
blacks, which will be givon only when
evideuoe Is presented that the Congo com
pauy’s steamer actually awaits them
at Savannah. Meantime Bishop Sainee,
qnco very influential with the At
lanta negroes, has written Senator Colquitt
to ask that the Congo company be investi
gated and the truth about the mvsteriout
oonceru communicated to the writer. The
latter declares that nut only in the country
distriete but in the city, whoso ventures to
opeore the exodili schemers, stands in dan
ger of assassination at the bands of the
Wildly enthusiastic Africanites.
CONCOCTED IN WASHINGTON.
Wamwnuton, .lan. 19.—A di-patch from
Atlanta, Ga. , the other day conveyed the
information that a number of ignorant
colored people from the west and south had
arrived there with the intention of proceed
ing to the seaboard and embarking
for Africa. The Post will to-morrow
sav that the men who have led these
people to flock to Atlan a wore colored im
migrant agents who went through the vari
ous southern states and made them believe
that by the payment of $1 and the sending of
a 2-cent stamp they would receive a tioket
which wouid lie good for their reimportation
from the seaboard at Charleston or Savan
nah for a sea passage to Africa, and for a
tract of land In that country. This scheme,
it appears, originated in Washington, and
its headquarters are now here, the corn pan v
pushing it being organized in April, 1884,
under the head of the "United States aud
Congo National Emigration Society."
COLORED MEN AT ITB HEAD.
Its officers were all colored men. T. L.
Green being general manager. The capital
stock is $2,000,000. The company’s circular
stated that the company was engaged in
the lmporta: ion of African products, and
that as a result on the return of the steam
ships it was enabled to offer to “preferred
passengers the following unparalleled in
ducements,” which are then named. The
circular requires that $1 and a 2-cent
stamp should be sent for each
applicant who desired to go to Africa, but
nowhere in the circular is the statement dis
tinctly made that the ticket or reeaipt to be
sent for the money is good for the
passage proposed. The circular was
evidently drawn up by some per
son with considerable more knowledge
and shrewdness than the officers,
who are mostly ignorant mon. Green said
to a reporter that the trouble at Atlanta,
and the coming of the colored people there
to go to Africa was doe to misrepresenta
tions made by Rev. Thomas L. Peak, agent
for Georgia, Alabama aud Tennessee. Peak
in turn denies this.

At the request of many citioens I accept their
invitation to become a candidate for Mayor. If

just share of the public burden, but be not
made to endure moie than his share; and to de
mand that every employe of the city shall dis
charge his full duty, and be protected in so
doing. I shall endeavor to see that morality is
preserved, and law and order enforced. It
elected, I shall assume the office with a full
sense of responsibility, and will disoharge ray
duty with, I trudt, fairness, impartiality and in
dependence, advancing, as best I can, the wel
fare of the city, maintaining its high commer
cial credit, and encouraging every enterprise
that tends to her prosperity.

self. I am
Very truly, your obedient servant,
