A Double Plea of Guilty. -0 Tbat Amos Talburton married the Widow Bamford for her money was firmly believed by everybody but the widow herself. She, poor, simple body, never suspected that day when he took her har.. and asked her to be his, that he kad any other object than the avowed ofpes pf devoting himself to hei happiness and being a father to her little boys. The widow's fort.une was in ready money, from all care of which her' now psb4nd soon ro lieved her; and before the honey moon was over, Mr. Talburton entered on his paternal duties with an energy which soon con vinced Charley and Robbie Bam ford how exoeedipgly loose had been their previous notions of family government. 3fr. Talburton'o system was N combination of those of Solomon and Mr. Murdstone, proceeding on the theory that the two most ptect instrgtepts for the expul sion of~ folly from the hieart of g child are a rod of correction and the Latin Grammar. The elder boy, Charley, was a warm-hearted, spirited lad ; a boy o go through fire and water for those he liked, but with a tempeg that rebelled against injustice or unkindness. It soon became a state of con stant weg eseg ,Chgley apd4 Mr. Talburton. The formier grew relentless in his punishments. Charley's mother ventured to interpsde for him once;- but her husband read her such a lecture on the sin of inconsiderate mercy that she never dared renew the subject. Bobbie yio g'as over g year: younger than his brother, ~ got along much better. Thbere were twQ reasons for this ; he had his mother's geni.e gispositioP, and secondly, Charley's transgres sions were so numerous that they kept Mjr. 'f.ibQrton's attention fully occupied. At sixteen Charley was a strong nd well grown youth. More than once, ai-ter receying chastise ment, he had been heard to utter threats; and one day he struck back. A. violent~ battle ensued, in which he was badly wrstp#, 49 not until he had left on his adver sary's face divers marks of the 0,rceness of the contest. That night the hqueehol was aroused by the report ol a pistol. Mr. Talbarton was found welter ing in his own blood just outside his study door, and the servants who first reached the scene, as they afterwapds testifie4, found Robbie standing near the body holding a pistol. The gas light in the ball way bad been turned p e.n the wild and dazed ex presion of the boy's fae e plainly visible. The wounded man died before assistance could be summoned ; and terror and fright threw poor Mrs. Talburton into a swoon, which, bappily, for' a season ren dered her unconscious. The police came and searched the premises. One of thbe first dis coveries made was that Charley's ,.t as vacant. His bed bore traces of having been recently occupied. But Charley himself had not been seen since retiring to bed early in the evening. Robbie when questioned, ap peared stupefied, and returned no answers. The commission of an act of violence seemed so foreign to his character, that in spite of appearances few were dis posed to regard him with sus picion. Still it was thought pru dent to detain him till the tragedy should be fully cekared up. Next day the coroner's jury began their investigations. In addition to the facts already re counted, it was shown that imme diately after the murder all the outer doors and windows were found closed as usual-a fact which pointed to an inmate of the house as the author of the deed. A dealer in firearms testified that on the day preceding the murder he had sold the pistol, found with one chamber dis charged in Robbie's hand, to Charley Bamford. At this evidence Robbie started up excitedly and spoke for the first time. tell you my brother is not guilty!' he exclaimed. 'Perhaps then, you can tell us who is,' said the coroner, dryly. 'I am!' the boy answered, with the defiant look of one brought to bay. The case was soon closed, and the jury were not lpng in re turning their verdict that 4mos Talburton had come to his death by a pistol shot fired by the hand of Robert Bamford ; and the pris oner was immediately poramitted for trial. The distracted mother retained me to do what I could for her un fortunate boy ; but the task look. ed like a hopeless one. To all my u?stionigg' Icoul get bgt one answer. Robbie persisted in asserting his own guilt and the inuocence of his brother, whose absence he at-' tributed to his having run away to escape his step-father's cruelty. When asked as to L is possession of thie pistol sold to Char-ley, and the motive of the crime he fellwi to his usual silence. In due time my client was in dicted and arraigned to plead. I stepped forward to answer for him, but before i could inter'pose tbe boy biniself biad spoken. 'I plead guilty,' he said, in a clear firm tone. JWo, no!' crjed a voice thy startled all who heard it ; 'it is not he, but I, who amuguilty ;' and the next moment Charley Bamford stood a.t his brother's side. encir cling him with his arm. 'Was it not I who ran away ?' he went on, hurriedly, 'and my pistol that was found ? Cannot every one see thrat rpy pooi', dear, generous brother wishes to screen my life at the expense of his own ?' - Do not believe him !' broke in Robbie ; 'it is be that would sac rifice himself for me.' 'Let the prisoner be remanded,' said the jtidge visibly moqved at the scene; 'and let his brother be detained. There is something bp whbich requires explanation.' And within a week the expla nation came in a manner least ex pected. John Willis, an old servant of the family was taken suddenly ill, and soon lay at death's door. Be fore he died he sent for a clergy man, R. whomg ho told a story which completely cleared up the mystery. The day before Mr. Talburton was killed Charley Bamford had otfred to sell Willis apistol which he latter bought for a few dol lars. T1hat night Willis heard a noise as of one stirring in the house, and slipping from his room, pistol in hand, he saw some one moving stealthily in the lower hall. It was long past the hour at which any of the family were likely to be up. Burglaries had been frequent of late, and acting on the first impiulse, and taking tb best aimi hp could, by the dim light, Willis fired. Seeing the man fall he ran down and turned up the gas, when to his ...-r.. he discovered that he had slain his master ! Tine pistoL dropped from his hand, and hear ing the approach of hurrying foot steps, and fearing to be accused of murder, he concealed himself in the study, from which he did not emerge till others had made their appearance, the first being Robbie, who picked up the pistol. The strange conduct of the brothers was now fully accounted for, Robbie, who had seen the pis tol during the day in the posses sion of his brother, and in view of his latter's fight ;hand bi: relations with his step father. believed him guilty ; and bad taken advantage of the appearances against himself to shield his brother. Charley acknowledged that he bad bought the pistol to defend hiwself against his persecutor in their next encounter ; but, chang ing his mind, he determined to run off to sea, for which' he raade secret arrangements the same af ternoon; and it was from-his first voyage that he had just returned on the day of Bobbie's arraign ment. Doubtless it was Charley's steps, stealing down the stairs, and out at the front door, which latched itseif behind him, that b&d aroused Mr. Talburton and the servant, the former having remained in his study that night to a later hour than usual. Mrs. Talburton's grief was great ly mollified by the restoration of her two boys; and this time she is likely to remain a widow. k5 tUauWU. THE EXODUS REPORT. No Doubt That It Was a Political Scheme. WASHINGTON, D. C., Tuesday, June I.-The majority report of the Sen ate 'Exodus 'committee,' which was subnitted to-day, after setting forth he amogne ot; labor devoted to the in quiry, and reporting that witnesses had been examined from the States of North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, 1js souri, Kansas and Indiana, says : 'We think it clearly established from the testimony that the following may be said to be the causes which induced this migration of colored people from various portions of the South to Northern States, chiefty I(ansas an< Indiana: the exodus to Indiana was undoubtedly induced, in great degree, by Northern politicians and negro leaders.' The report continuing, says that particular examination into the condi tion of the colored men in North Carolina as disclosed by the testimny of both whites and blacks, R~epubli ans and Democrats, 'showed that causes of discontent among the color ed people could not have arisen from any deprivya'gon ojtheir political lights or any hardship in their condition. The testimony taken shows that the average compensation for labor in that State was quite equ.al, if not better than the aVerage in any Northern State to which the exodites were go ing. The closest scrutiny could de tect no outrage or violence ingicted upon their political rights in North Carolina. It was also shown that there ex isted societies in Washington City and in Western cities to promote $hs exodus. Every member and every friend of these societies was a Repub lican whose object in promoting it was purely political, hoping to remove a sufficient number of blacks from the South to where their votes could aid in turningphe poalee in plose State; i favor of the Republican party. ,The report next mentions that the question of wages and rents and the share system of cultivating lands were inquired into in all of the South. ern States, and the fact ascertained that the rates of compensation re ceived by the colored people were about as liberal as in North Carolina. With regard to the 'landlord and tenant' laws of the various Southern States, and the systems growing out of them adopted by many planters for furnishing supplies to their tenants and laborers, the committee find that they were urgently called for by the cirmstances in which the South found itself after the war. The uni versal adoption of homestead and .per sonal property exemption laws de prve poor mn of cedit. and the iauuioru ciass or ias uw,! YI1JLl1lU procured the passage of these laws As to the alleged extortion by thi landlords and country merchants o the South who furnished supplies ti laborers and tenants, the committei admitted that they found that fre quently bad and dishonest men woul take advantage of the ignorance o necessity of negroes and exact ex orbitant prices, but in justice to th, pianters of the South they feel boun< to assert that this abuse is not at a] general or frequent. Qn the sgb.ect of the mistreatmen of the blacks in Southern courts o justice, the committee say they hav ascertained that in many districts th courts were under entire Republicai control, and th4t generally there wer as many complaints from such district as from those under the control o Democratic officials. Taken altogether the complaints might be said to be suol as are generally wade by the igno rant who fail to receive in the court what they think is justice. The educational advantages in th South, the committee say, are insuffi cient and far inferior to those of mos Northern States, but such as they are the same facilities are afforded ti blacYs as to whites. With regard to political outrages which the committee say 'have forue< the staple of complaint fir man; years against the people of the South, they find nothing new. Many o stories are revived by zealous wit nesses, few of.whom ventqred to sa, that any considerable violence or out rage had been exhibited toward th colored people in the South. within th past four .years, and ati fewer o :4w who testified on this subjec testified to anything happening with in their own knowledge. Their evi dence with rare exception was heai say. In coDcigsion he committee ex presses the positive opinion that th condition of the colored people of th South is not only as dood as coul have been reasonably expected, but i is better than if large communitie had been transferred to a colder an< more inhospitable climate, thus thrust ing them inte gampetition with; different system of labor; and whil, gradual migration might benefit th individual black man and his famil as it does those of whities, the com mittee regard this wholesale attemp to transfer a people without intelli gence from the omies of their nativit' as injurious to the people and labo system of the States where they gc and more than all i~njurious to thi last degree to the black~ people them selves. That there is mucii in thei condition in the South, the committel say, to be deplored, no one will deny That that condition is gradgaly im proving in every respect is really true 'Clashings, the committee say, be tween the two races are neither to b denied nor to he worAered at, bu when we come to consider the metho< in which these people were freed, a the resnlt of a bitter and desolatini civil war, and that for purposes o part.y politics, these incompetent, ig 'norant, Ianaliess, homeless people, with out any qualifications of citizenship without any of the ties of property o the obligations of education, were siad de!n phgoya into political power, an the effort was made not only to ab soluitely place them upon equalit with their late masters, but to ab solutely place them in front and hols them there by legislatio.n, by mili tary yiolenge and by every other mean that could possibly be resorted tc When we consider these things n, philosophical mind can behold thei present condition and the present com parative state of peace and amity b~ teen the two races without wo~nde that their condition is as good as it is.

Several times the Herald has had cause to call attention to good things that have come out of the much abused State of Texas, an i in a late issue we printed an abstract of r an earnest plea for independent journ alisin which Colonel Elliott, editor of the Dallas (Tex.) ierald, m.de be fore the Press Convention of his State. Insisting that his profession must he exalted and held in honor, the speaker said that these results could be attained only by making the press truly independent-by journal ists being true to their own convictions, regardless or the selfish interests of individuals or parties. ~ He further said that an editor who can calmly and dispassionately road, review and give to every subject its true value, regardless as to who is its author or its champion, is the one thing needful in the sanctum to-day, and is he who will be respected by Gentile and Jew and even the politicians of every hue. All this is literally true, as a few ed. itors who have ;een uccasioually or steadily indepencdent have proved to Sheir entire satisfaction. The orator paid a handsome compliment to the enterprise and popularity of our own journal, but in our humble opinion the success of the lerall is largely due to the fact that is at all times ready to praise or blame q;easures and men accorir to their desrs, irres. pective of party requirements or per sonal regard. Parties have entire right to print expressions Af opin ion and to journa; through which to clcie4te them ; but the people also have rights, and one of these is to re ceive thoughful, unprejudiced, disin terested expressions of opinion frogl men whose profession giv^; them un usual opporWunities for honest esti mates of individuals and policies. In journalism, as in the law, the pecp;e look to judges rather than to special pleaders, for although these latter are at times necessary and entirely hon t orable in the discharge of their duties, and although sometimes a judge will -pronounce their pleas good and suffi cient, they are neither competent .or trusted to render that impartial de cision which is the desire of every honest man. The judicial position is Sthe proper one for every editor who would have his opinions acceptable in the great body of intejgeut people, -and to attain this position absolute Sindependence of party ties is the first Srequisite. I N~yT-dlNG THE MlATTE.-When r the parent wvent into the parlor to look .ar his newspapers he came~ suddenly upon his daughter and her~ beau their faces so tightly glued to each other that they didn't notice his entry. 'Ahem i!' he dei'ved. t hob twain started and came to the light with faces that bore every appearance of having just been drawn out of a furnaceo, S 'Anything the matter ?' grimly asked the old:gentlemnan. 'I think we must have fainted,' said shc in a whisper. 'Hum ph ! What made you faint !' h e inquired suspiciously.

The old gentleman collapsed. r Good intentions are at least the . seed of good actions, and every . man ought to sow them, and leave r it to the soil and seasons whether they come up or not, or whether b e or any others gathers the fruit.
