IMPORrANr ADMISSIONS IN RESPECT TO
KANSAS The Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier and Enquirer writes
An important statement relative to Kan
sas affairs has appeared the signature of
a South Carolina journalist. This writer is
supposed to be Col Orr, who will be the next
Speaker of the House, and who for many
years edited a newspaper in the mountain
district of South Carolina He has lately
spent much time in Kansas, where, in con-
nection with other agitators, it is presumed
that he has been organizing the slavery party
for another and final effort He says that the
South has failed for the want of men. The
Southern States have contributed large A.
mounts of money in support of their cause,
but their emigrant aid societies, and other
prcselytising agencies have not succeeded in
throwing into Kansas more than 5000 voters,
while the Northern Free State vote is 1900,
or more than three to one. He says there
are in the territory exactly | SO slaves.
1t should be kept in mind that these state
ments are from the highest Southern author
ity The admissions in regard to the voters
are very important. If there are $1,000 legal
Free State voters, what more conclusive proof
could be given that the government, support
ed in the territory by Federal bayonets, is a
system of intolerable oppression, For it is
certain that no considerable portion of that
vote has ever been admitted to the polls.--
The pro-slavery vote, "pure and simple" is
probably largely overstated. Where were the
five thousand voters when the members of
the Constitutional Convention were elected
On that occasion but 600 appeared, and
large portion of these were undoubtedly
Northern " National Democrats" opposed to
Slavery, but ready TO cooperate with the par
ty who goes by that name, or for that matter,
with Satan himself, TO secure their share of
the offices. The clear Southern and Slavery
vote certainly does not exceed 1000, but with
al its alliances and mercenaries may go up to
5000.
Gov. Robinson's census gives 10000 in
habitants, of whom, no doubt, one-third are
adult males, and of these adults, Col. Orr's
classification, dividing them into $4,000 white
men and 5000 negro democrats, is probably
nearly correct. His estimate is interesting,
as so closely agreeing with Gov Robinson's
census.
IMPERIAL The money that
Louis Napoleon spends in entertaining visit
ors causes much grumbling among the Paris
ians During the soiourn Of the King of Ba-
yaria at Fontanbleau, not less than l67 per-
sons were fed, lodged, and entertained in the
most expensive manner by the Emperor. with
the peoples money. Hospitality on this oc-
casion was carried so far that not only board
and lodging for the noble guests, but in most
cases clothing likewise, was provided in the
shape of a grotesque masquerade, initiated
from the Grand Veaoie of Louis Quinzc and
the buttons in all cases were provided at the
Emperor's expense. OF these, some were of
jewels, some of plain gold, according 70 the
rank held in the hunt, Of the degree of impe-
rial favor enjoyed by the wearer. To fill up
the deficit occasioned by this lavish extrava-
gance, all kinds of mean inventions are in re-
quost--the pensioners of the civil list are
made to wait, the sale Of postage stamps re-
strieted to the general post Office, and the
"wind raised in various ways.
This way Of raising tho wind" will bring
a storm ere long.
