IT is reported from Zanzibar that the mis-
sion of Sir Bartle Frere to the sultan for the
suppression of the East African slave trade
has failed. The sultan refuses to do any,
thing about it, being melted to refusal by
the Arab chiefs who profit by it, and seeming
to regard it as mere sentimental notion of
the English. He is likely to be very soon I'M
deceived, for the English spunk is up about
it. A fleet of war steamers will no doubt be
stationed off the coast, and force will be used
to stop the nefarious traffic which. as DR..
Livingstone says, has already devastated and
depopulated some of the rairest and most
prosperous portions of the interior. The
Banyan merchants are British subjects, and
they are the outside instigators of the vile
and cruel commerce. The English journals
say they cannot go so far as to insist upon
emancipation in Zanzibar, and some of them
don't believe in any emancipation, looking
upon that in America as an economic blum
der. but they all conGemn the man-stealing

Tom SCOTT is evidently tn roughiy beaten
in New Jersey. The Legislature, to its great
credit, has passed and the Governor signed a
general railroad law. Within ten minutes
after the bill received the executive signature
company in opposition to the monopoly
was organized and its articles of organization
and surveys filed with the Secretary of State.
The name adopted by the new organization
is the National Railroad Company and its
officers are: President, Samuel Z. Wilson;
Secretary, Robert R. Carson; Treasurer, W.
W. Steele. Some years ago when Camden
and Amboy ruled the State, law was passed
by which railroad property in cities was prac-
tically free of taxation. The result in Jersey
City aud other cities was that the great rail-
road monopoly bought and rented the most
valuable property in the city thus rendering
the taxation on other property excessive.
The legislature has repealed that statute and
passed bill fixing the rate of taxation on
railroad property at one PER cent. The peo-
pie of New Jersey are ecstatic over their de-
liverance and it is matter for general con-
graduation, that Scotts monopoly has been
broken at vital point.
