The Negro Kansas Mania.

Editor Carroll CONSERVATIVE:
As tue subject embodied in the
heading of tLls article seems to be
agitatlng the minds of our people
in AN extraordinary degree, / shall
submit for your consideration a
few ideas which have impressed
themselves upon my mind, in the
hope that they may have the effect
in dome measure to allay the pre-
vailing excitement in regard to
this matter.
We take the position boldly,
that this is one of the best things
that has happened to the South
since the war, and the whole
Southern section wonld be vastly
benefited if one-third of the negro
population among ns would emil
CRATE North. Every one at all sc-
quainted With the subject knows,
that throughout the cotton region
the average production per hand
of negro labor is not more than
half what it was before the war.
Yet, for all that, the crop of cotton
in the aggregate, is greater than it
was before the war. Why is this |?
There can be but one reasonable
answer to the question. II is
owing to, the increased amount OF
white labor employed in that way.
Our whole Southern country is
now staggering under the weight
of idle, unprOductive humanity
fastened like, an incubus upon it.
Let us then encourage the idea OF
their emigration to their friends,
their best friends, those people who
we're 40 overcome with sense Of
the suHerings of their dear colorsd
brethren that they fought to free
them. No doubt that they were
sincere in the expression OF their
love: No doubt they will receive
them with open arms and provide
for their every want. That long
promised forty acres Of land and q
mule will be given to each one OF
them, and they will have nothing
to do but "sit under their own vine
anj fig tree" and shout hozanns
to their dearly beloved Yankee
benefactors. Moreover, Mr.. Edi-
tor, we all know thut the negro, OF
the present day, is born u politician
aud statesman, in Kansas be will
have full opportunity for tbs GIN
ployment OF his wonderful talcuts
IN this respect, aud we will be hap.
PLY rid Of disturbing element IN
our midst. LII this connection, We
would suggest that certain white
element among us who depend up
on their close affinity to IN infiu-
ence with the negro to promote
their political and financial condi-
ton, would do well to emigrate to
Kansas along with thoss whom
they love SO well, and the country
would be all the better off for it.

Hon. TfnlotiIy @. Howe.

We copy and fully endorse the fol
lowing from the Chippewa Herald:
On the 4th of March Hon. Timothy
O. Howe will retire from the United
States Senate after continuou. SER
vice Of eighteen years there.
That he il entitled to the plaudit,
"well done thou good and faithful ser
want, no one can deny.
Looking over the matter now. after
the contest for the succession is ended
ali must cencede that he has been
faithful, in marked degree, to the
principles of the Republican party
1t is well known that in 1874, when
the Legislature was Democratic, Pres
Ident Grant rendered him the position
of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States-a position that
the Senator would have liked very
much, but which he declined for the
reason that he did not think it would
be right for him to create a vacancy in
the Senate while the Democrats had
the power to chsose his successor. The
position of Minister to England was
declined for the same reason.
Howmany of our Republican leaders
would have'thrown aside the glittering
prize of IA Chief Justicesiip on account
of repugnance to ihjuring the party
to which they belong?
Is there one in Wisconsin that would
have proved as true to the party, IN
snch contingency, as Timothy O.
Howe has?
We doubt It.
With a bright intellect-an intellect
undimmed with age-we sincerely
hope that his retirement from positions
Of official trust and responsibility is but
temporary. In two years more the
the present what is it" admlaistra-
tion will have retired, and one with
Grant or Conkling at the head estab-
lished. Then Senator Howe will be
dealt with fairly, and rendered the
choice OF any position.
