THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS.
More on Their Way BACK to the sDnth-
The Relief Funds Belng Used to
Prevent Others from Coming.

tSpeGthl TO the Dem0crht.l
KANSAS CRY, May 12.-There are about
two hundred shelterless negroes on the Kan
sas bank OF the river awaiting transportation
to the Interior Of the State. They are very
dirty and destitute Three hundred more are
reported on the way, chiefly from the vicinity
Of Vicksburg and Helena.
The best citizens Of Wyandotte are seeking
to get those now here to return South, but
they are opposed by the agents Of the relief
fnnd, who use their efforts to induce the ne
groes TO 60 into the Interior. NOtWithstand-
Ing this, the emigrants, finding that they
have been deceived and suspicious of the pur-
poses Of those who urge them to go on, are
returning to tleir old holmes by every boat.
To-day fifteen men went South on the Durfee
to st. Joseph, Tensas parish, ten men with a
number of non-laborers by the steamer Lewis

others to Kinds county, Miss. They paid
their own expenses. N.

joyed the confidence Of Abraham Lincoln
above all, he was eminently capable OF de-
Tending himself In any sort Of o contest, par
llamentary or otherwise, and he was known
to have no disrelish for combat Of any sort.
There was, therefore, some kind OF excuse or
apology for the trucnlence OF such man,
which cannot be made to apply to
THE INsOLENGE OF CONKLTNG
or the impudence Of Blaine. Fessenden was
insoIent; but 1T was the insolence Of epigram
not that of turgid defamation like Conk-
ling's. He was also impudent: but 1t was the
impudence Of wit and cynicism; not like that
OF Blaine (Which is the impndence OF ignor-
ance and vulgarity.
The affair OF to-day is case In point. No
Senator stickles more for the 'sDecorum OF
the Senate than Mr. Conkltng and no
Senator ever violated 1t with greater reckless
ness than Conkling did yesterday in ascribiDg
corrupt motives to Democratic Senators. II, rs
was evident, Mr.. ConkIing g design WAS to pro-
woke retort from Southern Senators, he had his
labor for his pains. No Southern Senator hui
mored the malignity Of Mr.. Conkling but with
one accord they turned him over To the tender
mercles Of Eaton OF Connecticut; Blaine was
similarly committed to the hands OF Dan
Voorhees,, and In both cases the result was the
same. It will take these men long time TO
learn that they are not only In the minority.
but that the majority which dominates over
them is composed OF their peers In every
sense. A.C. B.

TURKEY.
The Question Of the RectlncatIOn Of the
Greek Frontier England Opposed
tn the Greek Demand.

LONDON, May 12.-The intimatlon made IN
these dispatches some days ago that the con-
ference OF the ambassadors Of the great
powers to discuss and settle the question Of
the Greek frontier would probably be held In
Paris Is now confirmed. Formal invitations
to the conference will soon be issued The
demands of Greece are we'll understood, but
1t is known that they will be opposed to q
great extent by England, and probably by
Austria, and 1t is thought the proposed recti-
fication OF the frontier will finally re-
suit In moderate changes. A sentimental
advocacy by France Of the claims of Greece,
it is thought, will not overrule the arguments
which only common sense on the part OF
England will urge against them. The Greeks
are asking for n cassion OF the whole empire,
but 1t Is believed that the English ambassa-
dor at the conference will be instructed to
show that 1t would be to the advantage
neither OF Greece Turkey. Epirotes themselves,
nor Europe generally that this claim should
be granted.

A comicaI trait OF Russian manners is
sketched In Russian journal called the Motr0.
In some parts OF Russia 1t is the custom TO
ornament wedding festivities with retired
generals In full parade uniform. This custom
Is particularly favored by the bourgeoise who
like to make a display Of their relations with
high digntaries. The retired generals are
paid for their attendance sum ranging from
five silver roubles upward, according to the
number OF decorations they wear. The hired
general comes early and STAYS late, and ap-
pears to be on terms OF intimacy with the
family. At the close OF the fete he receives
his fee and usually goes home In state Of
advanced intoxication, II, indeed, he is able to
get home at all.
