The CoLoRED MEN IN KANsAs.-The Gin
cinAai Gazette prints a private letter from
Governor st. John of Kansas, in which he
says;
II do not know of a single refugee having
returned from the State of Kansas TO the
South. Gentlemen were sent to this place
in the interest of the planters of the South,
who used every effort in their power TO in
duce the refugees TO return, and, after spend
ing two or three weeks here, being among
the refugees almost daily, failed to succeed in
inducing any TO go South. Up to the pres
ent time about 1000 refugees have come TO
Kansas, and with the exception of about 100
now receiving aid through our association, all
are self-supporting. This hundred is COM
posed of the cuttings of several thousand.
Quite large percentage are sick and disa-
bled, otherwise they would also be self-sup-
porting. While the tide of immigration is at
present checked by reason of the quarantine
regulations on the Mississippi, yet there are
many coming on TO Kansas by rail from vari-
Gus portions of the South, and as soon as the
quarantine restrictions are removed we may
expect thousands more to come to the
Northern States"

Commenting upon the manner in which
the democratic press, North and South, treat
the Dixon murder, the Boston journal says
while we are prepared to give all due credit
to Democratic journals like the Vicksburg Her
aid and the Baltimore Sun, which have spoken
in strong and indignant denunciation of the
crime in Yazoo City, it remains true that the
drift of the Democratic opinion, SO far as it
has found expression in the press, is strongly
the other way. Instead of repudiating the
deed, and the spirit which prompted it, in
fluential Democratic papers accept the re-
sponsibility of the Yazoo plan, and so turn
what might be taken to be only an evidence
of local malignity into party measure. No
party can endure long under the load of such
atrocities, and the Democratic papers which
indorse the murder of Dixon are inviting ruin
for their party"

When thu Republicans were siienced 10y

that Sillainy that tine white people of proper
~ and intelligence had suffered so grevOusly
by the cXtrayagant, oppressive and corrupt
governments forced upon them by carpet
haggrrs and negroes, that any means of de-
lyerance were admissible. Driven to des-
peration 10y intolerablo wrongs from which
they could not escape by the regular course
of lawful proceedings, they sought relief by
desperate measures, which III ordinary cir
cuuIst,tuccs would be ineXcusable. This eX-
cuse has never been deemed valid by Repub-
licaus, nor would Northern men of any party
openly accept II rs satisfactory, but II has
plausibility enough to confuse some minds
whose notions of political right and wrong
were not clear, and, IN connection with the
general denial, which was always ready when
it would serve, il kept Northern Democrats
from protesting against these acts and trying
to clear their party from responsibility for
them. But the murder of Dixon is u clear
and simple case of party tyranny, unrelieved
by any palliating circumstances. BY the
monstrous crimes of which Republicans were
the victims in former years the South was
made solid by similar crimes committed up

That is the doctrine of Southern Democracy.

Mr. WATSON, the United States Consul at
Quebec, gives in report to the Department
of State, some very discouraging facts as to
the condition of affairs in Canada. The re-
cent bank failures, he says, have caused a
loss of nearly $4,000, 600, or as much as has
been lost to the creditors of the 1000 national
banks in this country in 1G years; the depre-
citation of stocks dealt in at the Canadian Ex-
changes is estimated at $50, 600 600 for the
last year. Laborers, even when skilled, are
not receiving more than 81 per day, and ma
ny are glad to work for 40 cents per day,
while some 1000 men are reported out OF
work i'll Quebec and its suburbs. Although
this is an official statement it appears exagger-
ated; but that Canada and especially the
Province of Quebec, is in q most unfortunate
condition, there is no doubt.

Mr.. Scott of England, an authority upon
agricultural prospects the accuracy of whose
estimates have repeatedly been borne out by
subsequent disclosures, estimates that the
loss to cultivators in that country, by the
failure of crops will amount to S2l5, 600, 900.
His estimate of foreign wheat which will be
needed in Great Britain during the coming
year is somewhat larger than previous calcu-
lations, and, at the present price of the grain,
would necessitate an outlay of 5000, 900, 600.
Where this immense stock is to come from is
amatter of no little uncertainty The Austro-
Hungarian wheat crop, as the official report is
show, is so small that instead of having
grain to export, the wheat merchants will
have to import a supply for home consump-
ton. With the demand that is to be put up
on us from Germany, France, Spain and It
ally, the question is whether we can furnish
without something of a deprivation on this
side, the l2O, 900, 600 bushels of wheat, which,
it is said, Great Britain will demand of us.

Secretary Schurz has authorized the publ
cation of a long and elaborate statement con-
corning the true condition of the Ponca Indi-
ans. 1t has been alleged that their removal
from their reservation was accomplished by
fraud and for the benefit of ring of specu-
lators who coveted their lands. Mr. Schurz
says that by the treaty of 1865 this reserva-
ton, situated in Dakota, was ceded TO the
Sioux. who are now in actual possession of
the same This cession was the result of
blunder of former Administration, and as
the Sioux insisted upon their treaty rights, a
removal of the Poncas became necessary
This removal was accompanied by a combi-
nation of disasters and mishaps. But the
sum OF the whole matter is comprised in the
statement that the Ponca Indians on their
new reservation in the Indian Territory are
prospecting fairly and are not only contented
but are on the road TO civilization. The Sec
retarys statement of the case will be accept
ed by the public as against that of the ''as-
sistant" journalist who is responsible for the
story of government abuse The Secretary
says THE discussion of the Poncas' case in
the press and in public meetings, although it
has been very unjust in many respects. may

Mr.. d. c. Henderson, the veteran editor of
The Allegan Mich. Journal, is authority for
the statement that the name Republican was
given to the par ty organized in 1854 to OPP

Jacob NJ Howard, one of the earliest movers
in the work of forming the party in Michi-
gan, wrote to Mr.. Greeley asking his advice
as to name. MIR. Greeley consulted with
his associate editors among whom at the time
was Mr.. Henderson, and replied to Mr.. How
ard, recommending the name Republican.
The suggestion was accepted, and the desig

Frank Dixon. the brother of the Yazoo vic
tim. arrived at Washington Monday, TO the
complete surprise of his family, who did not
expect him. He explains his sudden fight
from Mississippi by saying that he became
tired of going TO bed with his shot gun every
night hourly expecting to be called upon by
some of the mob that murdered his brother
He finally yielded 10 the counsel of his friends
and left the State. He gives a very painful
account of his brothers death. The wound
which the latter received in his kidneys from
Barksdales shot gun was so painful that while
he was being carried tashis residence on lit
ter he uttered the most agOniZing shrieks.
His funeral was largely attended, and on the
same day the independents of Yazoo held
mass meeting, and determined to stand by
the independent ticket which is still in the
field Mr.. Dixon says that his brother seems
TO have had a premonition of danger, and
that few days before his murder he had be-
gun to write full statement of his relation
TO the Mississippi democracy and the part he
had played in its affairs. He did not finish
writing the paper, but had 10 pages of it in
his pocket when he was shot. Strange to say
although search was made for this paper as
soon as the victim was taken to his house, il
could not be found. There are people in
Mississippi who believe that those who had
been previously identified with Dixon be-
came aware of the latters intention TO write
a confession of his sins, and rather than run
the risk of having the statement published,
they decided TO kill its author.

and by possibly exercising some influence up
on Congress to give us that legislation which
hitherto we have been asking for in vain. II

amenable to civil laws, and that patents for

The Winnebago tribe of Indians, which,
under the administration of President Grant
were placed under the guardianship of the
New York Society of Friends, show the good
results of the Quaker policy So rapidly
have they advanced from nomadio habits to
those of civilized life that it becomes only a
question of few years for this tribe to re-
quire no further aid from the government
Ten years ago rations were issued to them at
= cost of about $50, 600 year. and they then
had only 800 acres of land under cultivation
and suhsisted ON government rations and
buffalo meat. During the past year the tribe
has been self-supporting, with the exception
of three pounds Of -four given weekly to each
parent whose children attended school regu-
larly. At present the tribe has a surplus of
farm products for sale, and with the larger
acreage sown it is thought the surplus will be
greater this year. The tribe now has $500
acres of land under cultivation, and last year
raised 5000 bushels of wheat and 30, 600 of
corn, besides oats potatoes and other crops.
