from "A Panama steamer bound for san Francis

c.ous young woman, whom he introduced as
Mrs. Mitchell, his wife, and a little girl, whom
they both called their daughter.
Mr.. Mitchell took his family out to San Luis
Obspo, rented aud furnished house, and COM
menced the practice Of law. The lady whom ne

of him, proud of his talents, said he had studied
law with an eminent lawyer in Pittsburgh, and

In view of the approach of the cholera,
peculiar Importance is given just now 10
these trips for the little ones 10 the green

The Liberal Conference.

Twenty or thirty Of the leading Liberal
Republicans OF this state have invited
private conference OF Liberals In this city
to-day, TO compare views in regard to the
proper course 10 bc pursued in the political
campaign Of this fall. This IL proper; for
when those who agree upon general prin-
ciplcs a'e not certain what line of policy
e. pursue. il l. expc1icnt for them to COM
pare opinions and try TO find out.
Two or three cardinal points should be
kept steadily in view bv those who meet
to-day. We Will briefly state them.
During the last Presidential campaign IL
became apparent that there were Opposi-
ton voters enough in the Union 10 defeat
GuNNr, provided they could all he COM
hincd upon one >ct OF candidates. To effect
this combination WAS the problem to be
solved. II wit. equally true that the hearty
cooperation of all the voters of this state
who were hostile to Republican domination
would have defeated the regular Republi-
can state ticket in November last. To
bring these political elements into the sup
port of II common li.t of candidates was
all that was needed TO insure success. The
disastrous failure of the Opposition both
in the Union and In the state Of New York
eight months ago WIS not due TO the popu-
larity OF GRANT or the strength of the Re-
publican party, but to the fact that those
who really de sired the defeat of the Adj
ministritiun forces could not or would not
act together.
The Opposition in this state encounters
the same sort of difficulties now which il
had to confront last year. 20 sagacious
politician doubts that a decided prepon-
dotance of the voters of New York are
hostile 10 the continued supremacy of the
GRANT Republicans. The utter failure Of
the Legislature to carry out those reforms
to which the Grdutitc> pledged themselves
during the campaign, wita other causes of
n more general nature, has brought the
party into thorough di,rcputc. A large
majority of the people have lost AL conf
dence in the sincerity, the wisdom the in
tegr,ty of the cabai which ruled last win
ter at Albany, and they desire change.
To Conciiiatc this sentiment, and 10 So con-
suldatc ii that IL will he efficient in the
canvass ana successful at the polls, is the
duty of the hour
Theplatform on which parties should he
A'AhDlll''i l. N'lN >lllIl'' iN'o' NNo HiHh
ulih, Otultt to u,t tp,i,tAc,. Assuming thnt
majority Of the voters OF this state desire
tho overthrow of the GRANT Republicans
in November, II would seem 10 be among
the first duties of the Liberal conference
today 10 take such steps as will secure
harmonious action among the various po-
hucll elements which compose that ma
iuIity. THIS done, victory l. certain.

President Orton Replies to Minister
SchenCk.

Mr. ORToN, President of the Western
Onion Telegraph Company, publishes IA
letter addressed to Secretary FISH, in which
he replies to certain charges which Gen.
nCHENCK, United States Minister to Eng
land, has lately put forth against that
company, and which Mr., FISH has given
TO the public without inqulring whether
these charges were true. The charges
themselves Mr.. ORroN thoroughly refutcs,
and then follow some interesting general
observations from which we quote:
"Gon. SCuENCK's zeal and efficiency in expos
ing SYSTEMATIC imposition upon the public, "a
sometimes practIscd by the promoters and
mdna-ers OF swindlinS corporations are widely

More than this, II has refused, i'm at least one
Instance, to pay Tor ONicial messages exchanged

to do So was affirmed by the decision of a Fede-
raj court. IL would seem not unreasonable,
then, that these comp. nies, whose capital and
enterprise have connected the United states
with the tclc-ruphic systems which are rapidly
enciGchng the slobe' II not entitled to receive
special lAvors from our Government, should AT

" It seems unfair for representative Of the
United states nt foreign Government to lend
a willing ear and the influence of MA oflice to
the scheme OF those who have no otner interest
in the business man the hope that something
may be made out of IL, But It seems still more
UNFAIR that the ohlcial charges reported by this
representative To his Government should bs by
the latter given to the public, with an implied
endorsement Of their accuracy, without notice
To the parties charged, and without inquiry as
to the truth Of the allegations"

A colorcd man in Georgia named JouN
MCBruRUs, well kn wn ne a pilot In Savannah,
makes some very extraordinary statements in
relation to- his treatment by the agents of the
American Col in.lation Society during and sub
scquent to AN involuntary voyage to Liberia.
MCBrRRUs says lie had determined to go to
Liberia, but as he was engaged "a pilot for Mr..
J. w. LATnROP Of Savannah he promised not to
leave him until the end Of the season. hut he
concluded to send his family on in advance, and
came to this city with them to see them OF.
Arrived In New York McBURRus and his family
we're taken directly to the bark Jasper. bound
for Liberia, where, according to his story, he was
forced to remain against his will, the vessel sail
ing at once. while his requests to be put on
shore were disregardcd His experiences in Lii
IBERIA were anything but agreeable, and to his
great surprise he foIrd that owing to an agree
ment between the owners Of vessels running to
Cape Palmas and the Colonization Society no
emgrant would be permitted to leave the coun-
try for two years after his arrival. Finally he
hid on the beach for three weeks being supplied
with food by his wife In the mean time, until he
found means to make his way to MOnroyia, three
hundred miles distant, where he obtained pas
sage on board bark bound TO New YORK by
showing his custom house license IA a pilot.
MCluRRrs says that the mortality In Liberia is
fearful; that eighteen or twenty Of the Georgia
cmigrants died daily during the process of ac-
clmatiun. lie also saws that many of the emit
grants from the South have taken tn the bush
and frlterni1cd with the natives. and that there
are Georgia negroes in some of the tribes a. wild
and barbarous as n they had never known any
thing Of civilization. This man sold a little
property which he owned for 500 In anticipa-
tion Of emigrating; he could not rcpurcha'e 1t
for $500. lie IL now pennies, while his wife
and children are IN Liberia, and he Il endeavor-
ing to raise funds To- brins them home. II l. a
most improbable story which MCBuRRus tells
but It is having an extensive circulation through
the columns u the Southern press. and the man
ayers Of the Colonization Society should give 1t
their prompt attention.

An argument is frequently advanced by
tno>r-priuc!pIily South street merchants
and wall street sugar hrokcrs-wno for
their own personal Interests desire the
continuation of slavery IN Cuba to the
effect that the insignincauce of the Cuban
war for independence Is proved by the am
uually increasing sugar crop of the island.
This argument has been used extensively
20 prejudice the minds alike of the gov
c'uug and the representative o.isses of
this country.
The fact il the annual crop has increased
but litticif at all since l>GD while all other
products of the island have decreased ma
tcrillly since the inception of the rcvo-
luton; and Notwithstanding the Tevolu-
ton, there are many reasons why the crop
of sugar should, in lieu of remaining about
stationary, have considerably increased.
As to the increase Of sugar production,
let us take the figures of the exports and
stock of sugar in the port of Havana as Civ
cn by the latest dates from that place. II
must be borne in mind that from Havana
are shipped the products of almost all the
colossal sugar estates in the Jurisdictions
of Cardeuas, Colon, Guines, and the
Vuelta Abajo, and moreover, a large pro-
portion of those of the estates in the juris-
dictlons of Matanlas, Jaruco, and SagGa.
! To none of these Jurisdictions has the in
surrection as yet extended; and rs in nor
NAL times the annual increase Of crop on
/ each estate is about ten per cent, the snip
mcnts and stock at Havana should under
/ regular circumstances exceed those at same
] date last year byabout that proportion. We
/ iind, calculating hosshcad ut the rate OF
! three boxes, that the shipments and stocks
of sugar at Havana up TO the l4th inst
