CrNo1NNAu o., April 19.-An irresponsible
publisher OF sensational shccL known as the
Sunday :Nt,u received terrible beaIing On the
street this afternoon at the hands Of the young
est son OF Judge Taft, ex-Atttorncy-General Of
the United States, The Neacs published to-day
an anonymous letter protesting to come from
the wife OF Congressman who had celebrated
i silver wedding recently, as did Judge Taft,
and also referred to the letter as from the wife
OF an ex-memb mber Of the Cabinet, clearly direct
ing attention. to the wife Of Taft as the author.
The letter purports to- be IN expose of family
matters, marital: infelicity by the husband
ct the writer, and q general reflection upon his
morals and views in regard to matters Of this
kind. The editorial comment pointed so
stronely:to the wiio of Judge Taft as the author
that his SONS felt it their duty to notice it, which
they did by proceeding to the office Of the pub
Usher, and the youlSer I'D n'inisterlng faeel!a-
ton. Rose was for11R on the sidewalk in front
of the Office, and was knocked down, thrown
into the gutter, aud most thoroughly punched
by tho young man, while the elder brother kept
the crowd back and called for fair play.
YouE Taft is broat-shouldercd, well-devel-
opcd young man, recent graduate or Yale, anu
showed that bis physical training there was not
neglected. Rose was badly used I'D, and had to
be takeu home i'll 4 hack.
The feeling among all classes of citizens is that
Mr.. Taft did public service, and should have a
medal
Judge Taft's domestic relations are OF the
happicst character, and during his forty years

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 19.-Prenrtss, Chairman
of the Committee on transportation OF the
co1ored cmgrants, came back from Wyandotte,
Kan, tonight. He said he left {, 600 negroes In
Wyaudotte, Kan, most OF whom are sick With
pneumonia The Committee sent number Of
families West, having made arrangements Tor
homes. The Missouri town OF HigginsVille had
offered number Of people. work, but the ne
groes, having been told Missouri was Demo-
cratic State, refused TO go, saying they would
be treated no better than In the South. Pren-
tiss said many negroes were .laboring under the
idea that the Government was going to give
them farms in Kansas. This kept many OF them
from going to work.
THE TRIBUNE correspondent Interviewed
Prentfss on the intention OF the Committee on
the movements OF those negroes. Prentlss said !:
It We intend to lay the question directly before
the Government. The colorcd folks want to
know how good friend the Government is to
them, and Committee will visit Washington
in the interest OF the emigrauts."
Preptiss Is an intelligent and representative
colored man here. His Committee disaVow any
connection with the Turner movement
4 boat-load of emigrants came tonight. The
Prentiss Committee have them in charge, and
don't allow them TO leave the boat. Their des-
tination is unknown to the darkfes themselves.

on immigration. Herbert was for immediate
immigration, saying the colorcd men could get

The resolution fndorsing immediate lmmlgra-
ton was passed unanimously, also the address
presented YESTERDAY.
A committee was appointed to attend mass
meeting in Mobile.
Dave Young wanted q committee Of seven
discreet men to go to Viclssburg, and there dis
cuss the question Of immigration between white
citizens and colorcd laborers. This brought on
all angry discussion, and Young was character
lied as bloated capitalist.
Pinchback finally told the members they had
entirely lost conception of the object Of. the
Conyention,-the interest Of the colored men.
He had been In Madison Parish and found the
negroes sacrificed their stock and implements
to get money to 20 to Kansas If they wanted
to 60 they should go, and stay, and not come
back. But our duty now Is to seek remedy
for existing evils.
resolution to send 100 bulldozed negroes to
Washington to appeal for aid was not enter
tanned.
After somewhat stormy session, the Con
Vention adjourned till Monday.

engaged in loading guano from Peru to En-
glanu,, by which the loading OF over 100 vessels,

portation Of guano stopped, to the injury Of the
bondholdcrs and agricultural and shipping in

acter mentioned; that the subject had received
within the last forty-eight hours the serious at
tcntion Of the Government, aud they had al
ready taken steps for the protection Of British
Interests and British property.
