THE PRESIDENTS KANSAS APPOINT
MENTS.
[From. the New York Herald ]


The President has conferred the appointment of asso-
cate judge of the supreme court in by
the resignation of Judge Catoon Mr. Rush Elmore of
Lecompton. If anything had been wanted to prove the
desire of the President TO have nstice mpartiay admin
istered in that Territory this selection calculated to
supply that want Mr. Emere was one Of the delegates
to the convention that framed the Iecompton consttu
ton; and though he the largest if not the only
STAKEHOLDER in the Tcrrtoryhaving seat in that
vention hc distinguished in it much for his mod
eration rnnes and conservatism of the rights Of the
people he for his great ability contrasted with
his colleagues He candidate for the presidency
the convention, in opposition to Jack Calhoun, and
got the skpport of all the sober, sensible and mod
crate delegates, who, however, in considerable
minority there. As chairman of the committee on cre-
dentia he reported in favor of the admission Of dele
gates from the two counties which had been included
in Secretary Stantons apportonment, but which had
nevertheless gone through the regular forms of clec
ton and sent their representatives to Lecompton and it
will be rccolcced that the refusal to admit these
their seats was Of the arguments used against the
bccompton constitution Finally hc the leader of
the minority of the convention which voted IN favor Of
full submission of the constitution the bona Gds c
zens Of the Territory, and was utterly opposed the
course taken by tho majority.
The appointment of such man 10 the Office OF
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court taken in oonnexion
with that OF Mr. Denver governor with the dismissal
Of Calhoun from his post Of surveyor general and the
appointment 10 that post of Col Burnett Of the New
York volunteers ought to be sufficient of the
desire of Mr. Buchanan TO allow the people Of Kansas
no just cause TO find fant with his administration.

THE CUBAN SLAvE-TRADE.

In reply to deputation this subject on the 8th
Lord Derby said that he concurred generally in the OBJ
ecs of the deputation With regard to Brazil he praised
that government for its honesty and good faith in the
fufmcnt of treaties With regard to Cuba he agreed
that could be done by the governor general of Cuba
than by any external force that every exeon had been
and every day being made to bring the Spanish gov
ernment to good faith in this matter and that he trusted
this result might be brought about without resort to
cocrcve That with regard to the French sys
tenn, shown in the case of the Regina Coel there
could be doubt that it really plan of slave
trde that they pouring in evidence this point
the French government and that he hoped that the
French Emperor lin whose desire to put down slavery he
had perfect confdcncc would soon be himself convinced
that it slavery in disguise. He feared that in this
particular case there evidence to show that the
blacks might be held rs consenting parties With
regard to cody emigration, he explained that Lord
Carnarvon's bill was intended to put a stop to
the carrying of coolies from India to any foreign posses
sion TINT IL their determination to place the cody
emigration to our possessions such footing as
should fair treatment to tho coolies and he be-
eved that that could be accomplished the system of
cody emigration might be found beneficial both to the
coolies tRmsevcs and to the colonies He repeated the
great cart and consideration which the government
determined to give to for the coolies good treat
mcnt and fair play He did not think that the exclu-
sion of Caban produce from markets would (eyen If
Parliament would consent to IT. make much difference TO
Cuba, inasmuch other countries would take Cuban
produce and let have the supplies from other quarters
which formerly went to them He expressed generally
every desire to prevent the slave trade and assured tho
dcputaton that the government would relax their
efforts towards the accomplishment of this object

We have no ground to complain of the cxnltant tone
in which the American minister in London aludes TO the
terms which the quarrel that recently seemed to be
impending has boen avertcd Mr.. Dallas pays fitting
acknowledgment to the frank and tcmpcrae bearing Of
the British government and convinced that the
best part OF his countrymen at home will as fully apprc
cac the magnanioos response which the wrath Of their
cxcabc organs in Congress and in the press has ELECTED
In the old country But it will NOT do 10 lose sight of
the act that the controvertcd question Is not absolutely
settled by the immediate cessation of the proceedings
which were found 10 be giving unaccountable but still
very undesirable, umbrsge to the American people
Mr.. Dallas may not think 1T necessary to take his
at the London Tavern into his confidence this
subject but cannot suppose him to be unaware that
something has still to be discussed and decided unless

On tho contrary you are distinctly instructed to op
