WARRINGTON, August 1O.-The Secretary
Of the Emigrant Aid Association Of the
District Of Columbia has received Letter
from Gov. St John, President Of the Freed.
mems Relief Association OF Kansas, from
which the following extract is taken:
"The tide Of immigration continues 10
flow North in an almost unbroken stream,
and unless checked by quarantine cstab.
lished along the Mississippi, there is no
telling just when It will stop. We find
1t difficult, with the means at our com.
mand, TO relieve the necessities OF the ref.
ugees, but We are doing the best we can,
and have thus far prevented any actual
suffering. II seems to me that the people
OF the North do not comprehend the mag.
nitude Of the movement, otherwise they
would certainly take greater interest in
the matter. So far, our Association has
extended aid to,about 1000 destitute col.
ored people. We have obtained employ.
ment for them, and placed them in such
situation that they are selt.sustaining, but
1t has cost great deal Ofmoney, We have
received some aid from abroad, in fact from
certain parts oithe country quite liberal do
nations have come. The city Of Cleveland,
Ohio, has given 81 600, but the great city
Of New York, 80 far as l know, has not given
that many cents. WHAT'S needed is money,
our funds arencarlY exhausted and wheth
er we shall receive further contributions,
nothing butthe future can determine. OF
one thing you may rest assured, young
Kansas will not falter in her duty TO work,
this people; and 1t only wishes the entire
country would wake up to the magnitude
OF the movement. Our association 80 far
has expended little over $500 for the
relief OF destitute refugees"

DISPATCHES Of yesterday announce the

$SOO0OO. This is considerable reduction
from the 81 900, 900 which Jim Fisk is said
to have offered for It at the close Of the
war, but it is probable the court will con-
Tirm the sale now made. There has been
considerable litigation attending the ef-
forts Of the creditors TO secure their
chims, and the case has given rise to a
COOL deal Of scandal and unpleasant dis
custom. AS We understand it, the COM
pany formerly owning the property en-
numbered it with various classes OF liens,
giving to several classes Of creditors pre-.
ierred claims over others. when all OBJ
legations had matured and were not met,
it was found that the property could not

and contest began among those
who held prior claims likely tc
be provided for in any sale, and those who
were likely to be left out in the cold. Thi'
sort OF thing has being going on for sever
al years with iniunctions, petitions, &c
and the Commissioners were finally order
ed to make definite sale at the best price
obtainablc, either selling iuaparcels or as 9
whole. 1t appears from the dispatches
that the property was offered both ways
aud finally knocked down entire at the
figures named.
While the amount appears inconsider
able in comparison with prices heretofore
offered for 1t, it is likely, as things now 60
that full value has been gotten. Tastei

or ViFtuOuS IndignatIOn-A Scandal In
Senator SpraEues Family In which
MY Lord Roscoe ConklIns Is Inno.
Gently Mixed Up.
Providence, r. l., August GA scandal
in which the names OF Senators Conkling
and Sprague were freely used, was circu-
lated through the city to-day, as well as at
Narragansett Pier and vicinity, It was
rumorcd that the Senators had engaged
in a bitter quarrel, resulting in the use Of
shotgun by Senator Sprague, who was
euraged by reason OF his belief that Conk.
ling and Mrs. Sprague had been intimate.
Careful inquiry and investigation has
exploded the malicious rumor, at least ed
far as Senator Conkling is concerned, who
unfortunately happened to be the guest Of
Senator Sprague. Il appears that Senator
Sprague, maddened by jealous goadings as
to the imagined intimacy OF the German
instructor OF his children PROT. Lincke,
OF New York-with his fascinating wife,
confronted him in the house and ordered
him to leave instantly, emphasizing his
threat by the pointing OF loaded shot.
gun. Lincke retreated, and Senator Conk-
ling, who had been attracted to the room
by the screams Of the lady guests, sought TO
calm the enraged Senator, assisted by other
friends. Conkling's presence at the house
was oCcasioned by the settling OF legal
business connected with the suit to recov.
er taxes on the estate OF Mrs. Spraguc, in
Washington. LETT her by her father, Chief
Justice Chase, in which Senator Conkling
was employed as her counsel, and won the
case. Unfortunately for the Senator and
his fair client, gossip has not scrupled to
accuse them OF very friendly relations, and
the natural supposition was that the diff.
Guilty at the Pier arose from this matter,
but the Senators are on the best of terms,
so far as is known. Senator Conkling left
for New York tonight.
The quarrel has nece2sitated the tempo
rary removal OF the family to hotel.

The letter referred to in the above, re

furnished by responsible citizen o.
Clarksburg, and had reference to the al
legged shortcomings of public officials oi
that town. It was entitled to place in
the ISTELLIGEScER, and it got it.
As to the balance OF the Ttlcgram's arti'
Gle, we believe its editor labors under the
impression that he has quarrel with Mr..
Campbell, OF this paper, for the reason
that the latter declined to assist him in
some recent efforts to capture the Clarks,

declination were we are not apprised, but,
in his absence, We feel called upon to say
n0w,thathis action in that particular, mani,
tested rattling discrimination and massive
judgment.

"Your advice in the Associated Press dis.

furnished funds TO the State Boards to

PITTSBURGH seems to be a little disgust
ed with the rowing business. Possibly
her i'll luck in getting her oarsmen neal
the front in recent regattas has sharpened
her moral sense on the subject. Anyhow
the Telegraph thinks rowing is fast going
the way OF base ball.
The suspicious that the gamblers plan
the results and select the winners has
taken such strong hold upon the public
mind that the interest in this so.called
sport is rapidly decreasing. Hence the
small attendance at the regatta yesterday.
The plea for the oarsmen that they cannot
help betting on the result is well enough,
II that were all; but they, and they alone,
are responsible for the belief that has now
become universal, that these affairs are
generally managed wholly in the interest
Of the gamblers.
