the Constitutional Convention we
had occasion to refer to the vote Of
different mambers on the resolution
offered by NJ. Land D.: "'Fhat here
is no intention whatever, enter
tained by this body Of impairng
or restricting the political .civl! Or
religious rights Of any c;ass Of citi-
zens of the state on account Of race
color or previous condition of SER
vitude ; but on the contrary the in
tention is to defend and maintain
the rights of celored citizens as
guaranteed by the Constitution OF
the United States and OF this State
under the new Constitution about
TO be framed" From Times
we 81 AIMED our information in re-
gard to the ind vidua;ity Of the

ed as having voted against this
highly polite resolution was Hon

continue to speak in large terms
of tho exodus OF the negroes
now in progress.

and that, in spite OF the rus

by CmigrantS IN 81. Louis, they
are moving out Of Morchouso,
Madison, OuaChita and Match
itoches parishes in vast crowds.
Tho negroes, also, are selling
everything they have at the
best rates thoy can get. These
rates are of course very low
As for tho condition of the
cmigrants in ST. Louis, there !"
some hope of Improvement;
the colorcd churches IN that !
city have organized n relief
bureau, through which the
needy negroes arc to bo sup
piled with food and lodging,
and with transportation tot
Kansas.
II is also reported that anum-
i, Der Of the New York Hntc~
bcIlum anti-slavCry societies
are actively engaged in collect
ing and forwarding 10 ST. Louis,
/. food, clothing, and other sup>

, company Is donating alternate
sections of land along the road
i'm Kansas TO the cmlgrantS IS
not known, but il is SO reported
in this city, and the negroes
firmly believe the report TO be
: true.
The prominent CoIorcd men
! state freely that cmigrInlS
must endure some privatlons at
y the outset, but that thoro is NO
l great cause for anxiety about
the future of those who take
, part in the exodus.
Even if they do not obtain
i land free of cost, they can per
Q maps work for the white pcaplc
in Kansas. and that is no harder
to do than working for some
: white people in Louisiana.

meet with the Southern Pacific. gIvIng
Kansas City second line TO California,
the Kansas Pacific being the other. The
other railroads leading into Kansas City,
either by their main line or branches,
are the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Gal
weston, the Atchison and Nebraska, and
the Kansas City and Eastern Railways.
Thus it appears that Kansas City is the
centre Of railroad system, twelve in
number. radiating in every direction.
The Kansas roads traverse region on
which were produced last year 1000, 900
bushels of wheat, of which the Kansas
Pacific alone brought 4,350,000 bushels
to Kansas City. 1t is claimed that the
Kansas City stock Yards stand above all
others except the Union Stock Yard in
Chicago. Complete statistics are not
given, hut by two railroads alone last
year,the Kansas Pacific and the Atchison,
Topeka and Sante Fs, the Kansas City
yards received over 100000 head of cat
tie, 10000 hogs, and IL, 900 sheep. Kan
sas City should be few miles further
west. 1t has grown with the growth of
Kansas and the "New West" and has
none of the characteristics of Missouri
town. 1t is with Chicago and not st..
Louis, that its people delight to compare
their city IN its enterprise and activity
and in lis rapid growth and brilliant fu-
turp.

The KheJiye's Coup D'Etat.

The Khedive of Egypt has executed a
coup detdt which is bad thing for the
foreign bondholders, but good thing for
him, as 1t will free him from the necessi-
ty of paying interest on the public debt
and restore 10 him the enjoyment of his
sequestered estate and revenues, the lat
ter at one time being as large as the reve-
nue. of the State. He has matured
scheme for (sounding phrase) "the ma
tional administration of the finances"
and on the strength of it summoned the
foreign consuls to his presence, and an
nounce1 to them that the execution of
his scheme required the recall of the Ei-
ropean ministers of finance who were
forced upon him by the English and
French cabinets. His son and heir, Mo-
hammed Tewhk, was forced to resign the
pres dency Of the council, and their port
folios were taken away fiom the English
and French ministers Of finance, Messrs.
Rivers Wilson and De Bligneries. A
new cabinet has been organized under
Cherif Pasha, composed exclusively of
| native ministers, who will of course re-
store the old style of indigenous admin
istratlon. As things now are it is not advi-
sable Tor France or England to interfere
actively in the affairs Of Egypt, for fear
of foreign complications, and TO force the
Porte to depose the khedive woul1 not
be likely to mend matters any. The Khe-
dive will therefore bo left for time to
his own devices, which will probably
precipitate the general bankruptcy i'm
pending over Egypt without the prospect
of an escape from it. The only chance
to prolong the struggle lay in such an eco
nomical administration as Rivers Wilson
and De Blignieres were appointed to in
sure. Taxation cannot be increased in
Egypt. 1t is already so excessive that it
has caused famine, and is depopulaing
some Of the provinces. The tax gatherer
does not leave TO the unhappy fellah the
very simplest means Of existence. In
the meantime there is large deficit in
the finances every year. The consolida-
ted cebt Of Egypt is f9i 100000 bearing
I per cent. interest, and the floating debt
of 60, ,243,92S, a total of about $500, ,OO0,-
900. The expenditures are f10, ,405, ,665,
Including nearly f5,000,000 interest on
the debt and sinking fund. The receipts
are little over fS,0O0,0O0, leaving an
annual deficit Of Sl0,000,0O0, and this
$40, 10000 a year is screwed out OF a
population of about 100000 peasants,
cullivatlng less than 10000 square miles
OF arabic land, which are so thckly set
tied that the inhabitants number 300 to
the square mile. The system of taxation
| is frightful one, and the sufferings of
this patient and industrious people under
it are hideous.

Fry Meat.

This is a common habit in American
cookery, and ii is most Improbable to
the eater. 1t robs the meat of its Juice
and hardens its texture. The extreme
heat of the fat not only burns the outer
layers Of the meat, so as to iDjure their
value for nutritive purposes, but also
changes the the chemical condition of
the fatty acids, giving rise to products
which obstruct breathing, and cause
tingling of the eyes and nose OF the cook
which are more or less harmful to the
eater. The peculiar flavor OF the meat
is III a great measure lost by trying and
for it is substituted the flavor of the fat
in which l. is cooked. The fat permea ates
thefibres Of the meat in such a way as to
render them less soluble in the watery
fluids of the mouth and stomach, and
thus causes difficult digestion. Brolling
on 6, idiron over quick fire costs lit
tie more time and trouble, and very like
ly fuel also, but by this process the
juices of the meat are seated up-to a
certain extent-instead of being evapOra-
ted, and the nutritive value is thereby
increased.
