A MEETING OF THE NEWSPAPER CORRESPOND- ENTS was held to-day at the office of the New York Times to adopt rules which had been pre- pared by the executive committee regulating gdmissions to the reper: galleries of the House and Senate. They were adopted, are very stringent and wiil have the tendency of keeping tte galieries for their legitimate uses, ipsiead of being overrun by dead beats and Icbbyists. The old executive committee of last jear Was re-elected, consisting of Mr. Geo. W. 4ééains, Gen. H. V. Boynton, E. B. Wight, L. Q. Washington, and Wm. C.

A Revision 6r THE Estimares of the defl- clency in tke Patent Office appropriation, upon which the proposed reduction of the salaries of the clerical force was based, shows that there will only be need to. make these reductions for avery much shorter time than was originally peepee rape This information will be pleas- ing to the Patent Ofiice clerks, who will hardiy be inconvenienced by the inconsiderable reduc- tion for a brief period which may be required to meet a deficiency of less than $2,000, THE FOLLOWING INTERCHANGE Of stations of regiments is announced in army orders recently issued: The 1sth infantry 1s transferred from the division of the Atlantic to the division of the Missourl, and will move to Yankton when Lotifed that boats are ready for its transpor- tation, The 22d infantry 1s transferred from the department of the east to the department of Texas, to relieve the 10th infantry.

Haller, late of the 7th cavalry.” The court will assemble May 5th, and the Pre- sident designates this city as the place of meet- ing.

James E. Harvey, treasurer of the above committee, gave similar testimony. Mr. Gorbam was again called, and sald all the envelopes and stationery used by the republl- can committee were paid for by it, and all the documents were folded and sent out from the committee-room. Sidney F. Austin, treasurer of the republican committee, was called by the chairman, and described the disbursements made by him for the committee. John D. Defrees, public printer, stated that by his consent subscriptions were taken among employes in his office, but it was understood that they were to be voluntary contributions Harry Cobaugb, captain of the watch in the ‘Treasury department, testified that he had charge of furnishing Pennsylvanta voters in that. department free transportation to their hemes, and took receipts where they had failed to pay their taxes, both of which were fur- nished by Mr. Russell, acting for the state cen- tral republican committee of Pennsyivania. Mr. Wm. Russell was called and corroborated Mr. Cobaugh’s testimony. ‘The Exodus from the South, MIGRATION OF COLORED PEOPLE FROM THAT SECTION, The migration of the colored people from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee to Kansas, now in progress is attracting considerable at- tention ae the country, but more Spay: in the south. Instances are not at all rare wherein all the colored people on a Plantation have left and gone to the Eldorado of the west. Within the past few months con- siderable impetus has been given to this migra- tion from the south, and tt is no idle calculation to say that nearly one hundred thousand colored people bave left the south in the last six months tor the northwest. OPINION OF 4 TENNESSEE JOURNALIST. Col. Keller, the editor of the Memphis Ava- Janche, who 1s in the city, an intelligent obser- ver, abd who has studied the question, says the movement began three years ago in Tennessee; that agents cf the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad company came into his stiite; it first beeded labor to construct the road, and bad a large land grant franchise to dispose of for Lomesteads. Those agents went among the colored people, offered them cheap homes and remunerative labor, and the result was that a that time there was a great migration of th: colored people from Tennessee to Arkansas. H+ thinks the new migration now going on to Kan sas is brought about by the same agency: it 1s a move made by the railroad couipa who have roads to construct and als lands to dispose of. They want cheao labor, and they have cheap lands to seil They have their agents he south, and tie inducements offered are sus 1 the eclorea ed by the ratiroad companies. Mr. Kellersays, too, that he thinks there is a disposition in Tennessee to exact too tnuch from the colored peopie; that is that they are charged too much for rent, aud are not of- | fered the chance to acquire homesteads a3 cheney as is Cfiered them elsewhere. He does not think that the move has any political siz- Bifleance, nor is it meant to affect a reduction of the next census in the south, and con3e- quently a reduction of representation, but that it 1s the railroads alone, who have cheap lands and who induce colored irnralgration mainly to get cheap labor. SvBscrirtions to the four per cent. loan to- pay amounted to $6,502,750, A DELEGATION from the National Brewers’ Asecciation had a conference with Commis- sioner Raum to-day concerning the exportation of beer in bottles.

IMPORTANT CONFIRMATIONS.—The greater por- Uon of yesterday’s executive sesston of the Sen- ate was occupled with discussion on the part of several Senators concerning the nomination of Clarence King a8 Director of the Geological Survey. Messrs. Logan and Teller made spercaes against confirmation, and Messrs. Conkling, Voorhees, Blaine, and McDonald addressed the Senate in support of the nomination. At the ciose of the debate Mr. King was confirmed without @ division. The Senate confirmed th> folowing consul generals: David H.

THE SENATE was not in session to-day. | HOUSE —The House met at 11 o'clock, in con. tnuance of Thursday's session, and {mn ately went into committee of whole (Mr. Springer. of Iil., in the chalr) on the army | appropriation dill | “Mr. Singleton (Miss.) said that the House was confronted with the grave question whetuer it ad as a representative bod: ourage and determination to remove from the statute: bo0k3 ceitain pernicious laws placed thereon in orde | to promote the political welfare of a grea | party, or whether it would falter and tal in its duty to the country. Under the lit administration troops had been sent, at the caprice of the executive or up n | the call of political managers, into ury | state or precinct, with the tnteut and effect of intimidating and driving cittzens from the pols ‘whose political views were not in harmony wi | those of the party in power.

That was true, and it, may be set down to his credit; but. who cou'd forecast the views of his successor, and say ‘Ubat the scenes enacted under the last admints- tration might not take place under the Lext. The return of certain gentlemen to ee life boded no good to the repubiic. He proceeded to argue that under the constitu- tion, the federal government had no power to keep troops at, the pulls. He was not one ot those who believed that the late war had swal- lowed up all the powers of a state. He thea branched off to the consideration of the supei vitors Jaw. which he characterized as a disrepu- table scheme of the republican party to keep itself in power. He could never think of that law without a feeling of indignation and scora for the head which could conceive ana the hand which could trace it. about Ame! ican citizenship, about the “land of the tree and the Lome ot the brave,” and then tura to that law, and say whether all that boasted freedom was not a mockery and a Ile. course of his speech, he alluded to the there were but very few intelligent w: in the south, who did not belong to the demo- cratic party. Mr. White.—Is it not respectabe for a white man to bea republican in Mississipp! ? Mr. Singieton.—Yes, sir. If he comes there and intends to be a republican, without siow- ing himself io be unworthy of citizenship. Nir. White.—Would not the social ostr make It @ was are- spectable nan.

Mr. White.—Was not Judge Chisholm, a re- spectable citizen of your state,kilied on account of politics? Mr. Singleton.—Judge Chisholm was not killed | CR account of his politics, but on account of a | | family feud. Mr. White.—If he had not been a republican would he have been killed? Mr, Singleton.—I expect he would. Mr. White.—Would his murderer not have been tried and pupished? Mr. Singleton.—I cannot tell what might have happened. He then proceeded to argue in sup- port of thé repeal of the jurors test oath. At this, yore, the comuittee rose. and the se: sion of Thursday was closed, and that of Fri- day commenced, and the House again weat ato committee. Mr. Singleton concluded his speech by polnt- ing out the inconsistency which permitted mem- bers of Congress and cabinet mluisters to take the modified oath, but denied It to jurors. Could be obliterate from the recoilection of man thi measure and the supervisors law it would the happiest day of his life, and for that he would work in season and out of season. Mr. Weaver was the next speaker. He said that the people of the country had listened f- many years with impatience to the discussions of this sectionalstrife. It had become distaste- | ful to them in eve:y part of the union. During the Forty-fourth Congress thts sectional blite: hess had lasted from the beginning to end of the Congress, and it ought to be recol- | lected how perfectly flat that controversy had fallen upon the public mind. All turough the Forty-tifth Congress the same eternal strife wi kept up, and now, in the first extraordin session of the Forty-sixth Congress, ati people were locking with confidence for relief. (he seme old differences were introduced the precious hours were wasted in the discis- ston of this question.

He had been amazed at the genileman from Ken- | tucky (Blackburn) whea he had alluded to the | beredivary right of the democratic party to rule | this country, and had compared that party to the Chi'dren of Israel in their wanderings from Egypt to the promised land.
