TEMPERANCE.
EDITED BY LADIES OF THE N. c. T, U.

In our temperance work we often find
persons who claim that the women in their
crusade, and in their plan ofoperation ever
since, have used their influence to divide
the political party that has done the most
to suppress the evil of intemperance. All
that we have to say on that point is, if the
party thus complaining will put sound
plank in its platform, on which they can
plant the temperance standard firmly,
there will be no need Of division Instead
OF that, men chosen to make laws for the
protection of the people have made laws to
protect the rum traffic aud make it honor
able by granting license. We think such
men have not much of which TO boast, when
their efforts of so many years to regulate
the traffic, have proved a failure. And
now they come up and put in their bung-
ling hands and try to stop the progress Of
the woman's work; we would be obliged if
they would just stand back little and give
Us fair play, Who can wonder at the up
rising Of the women all over the land. On
no other class has the curse of rum fallen
50 heavily. Year after year we saw the
awful scourge rapidly increasing; in vain

special to the Cincinnati Commercial

cnacfaI n the Cincinnati ComUerclal
TOPEKA. KAs, May a. 1873.
Answering veur letter Of the llth inst.
bova the homer TO state that We have Just
comDIeted and incorporated under the laws
of oTr State. an organization known as the
Freedman's Aid Society Of Kansas, which
Society has taken upon itself the burden
of caring for the destitute eOlOred refugees
now fleeing to Kansas from the South.
We are aware that this Is quite an under
taking, and may be more than We can sue
cessfully carry through, yet we shall faith
fully and earnestly do our whole duty, and
have faith that all will end well.
Up to the present writing, about three
thousand destitute refugees have arrived,
the most of whom have been cared for by
our committee. We have been very sue
cessful in securing for them employment
and thus placed them in a position that
tbev soon became self-sustaining, and no
longer require aid.
These reople seem to be honest and OF
good habits: are certainly industrious and
anxious to work, and so far as they have
been tried, have proved to be excellent
laborers. They all unite in the same story
of cruelty, outrage, and wrong heaPed
mon them by the whites in the Land from
which they are now fleeing.
The Directors Of the Society are the
State officers, together with several Proml-
nent private citizens of our State. Hon.
John c. Francis, our present State Treasur-
er. is Treasurer Of our Society.
An donations Of money should be sent
to J. c. Hebberd, Secretary at this place,
by whom it will be promptly paid over to
Mr.. Francis, the Treasurer and drawn from
the Treasury from time to time upon
vouchers appoved by the Executive Com
mite of our Society, appointed for that
purpose.
No aid will be extended, except to such
refugees as are absolutely destitute, and the
demands Of humanity require that assist
ance be given. All the refugees that have
thus far arrived have been sent directly
from St. Lonis, to be taken care of and
provided for by the people of our State
am glad to know that the great heart
of the loyal North is right upon this ques-
tion, and l can assure you that Kansas,
though vet in her infancy, will do her whole
duty. We have not forgotten that these
same black men fed our boys and Piloted
them through the swamps and Jungles OF
the South when fleeing from Southern
prison-pens to a free North; and now that
they, after years Of oppression and abuse,
are compelled to flee from the same country
and seek shelter in our midst, let US be
true to them as they were faithful ana true
to our boys in the past.
am, sir, very respectfully yours,
JOHN P. ST. JOHN, Governor.

A JagUar at Large, Liberated by
a Tramp,

From the Philadelphia Times.
Last night, after the london Circus
tram had left Washington and had travers-
ed about thirty miles, q afull-sized Brazilian
jaguar, beast more ravenous and feroojous
than a tiger, escaped from his cage on a
fiat car and bounded into the woods. The
train had stopped to permit another train
to pass, and tramp, who had secreted
himself on the car, opened the cage, allow
ing the animal its liberty. About twenty
of his fellow-tramps had been previously
elected from the train, and it Is supposed
he committed the act for spite When the
animal escaped, the tramp jumped from
the train, and, although pursued by about
twenty men made good his escape, The
lagnar was powerful animal and cost 81,
1OO two years ago. He was about five feet
long, and naturally one of the most fe-
roclous beasts in the managerie. Early
this morning the mangled remains Of a
man were found fifteen miles east of this
place. 1t has not been aseertained vet
whether this is the first victim or no.. Tho
people are much excited, and have been
warned. The prOprietors offer $500 for
the capture Of the beast alive or for proof
Of his death,

has heretofore been the policy Of our Cleve-
land neighbOrs to speak guardedly Of their
harbor, and to ridicule and poke sticks at
Ashtabula. The gentle admonitions that
we have given them from time to time, and
the assurance that the time was not dist
ant when the laugh would come from the
other side of the mouth begins to have their
effect.

This Confederate Congress though un-
able to give a reason for this extra session,
seems to have thought that if it could lay
the ropes for success in 1880, it could go
home to its constituency with show of
somsthing done for the party. This hope
is dashed With disappointment. The veto
has nipped it. BHt there is another re-
course left TO lift it oqtsf IFS dilemma, and
the suggestion is worthy Of its seFioqs at
tention. It is to enact another fugatiFe
slave law tack it to an appropriation bill,
drive it through, stop the exodus, adjonrn
and 60 home with blaze Of glory after
themI If the Standard would only give
this idea its support it might perhaps carry
and the redemption of its party might then
perhaps be traced up to its influence.
