Ex-GovERNoR ANTHONY, OF Kansas, who
takes pride in having been born and bred an
Abolitionist, says that the Kansas Freedmen's
Relief association is "a piece of political bun
combe," and that the great majority of the
| people do not want the negroes to come into
| the State. Governor St. John is now discour-
aging the immigrants, and the farmers say
that they want Kansas to be white mans
State.
A LETTER has been received in Washington,
by Marshal Fred Douglass, from Bishop Holly,
now at Port au Prince, Hayti, announcing
that John NJ. Langston, United States minister
to Hayti, is dangerously i'll with yellow fever.
When Mr. Langston left Washington he was
in poor health, and it is feared that the illness
| has proved fatal. Mr.. Langston is favorably
known al the National capital, having been
at one time law professor at Howard Univers-
| ity, and he was for several years a member of
| the board of health. His wife and family are
residents of the District of Columbia.

| THE Springfield (Ill.) Journal thus sumsup
the results of the judicial election in that
| State on the I'd inst: "The supreme court re-
mains unchanged, all the old incumbents
being reelected. OF the A circuit judges chosen
in the ID circuits of the State and Cook county,
| % are re elected and Is are new men-except
that Judge Baker, in the First district, retired
from the circuit bench to which he now re-
turns, a year ago. to take the place On the
supreme bench made vacant by the death of
Judge Breese. Politically, the supreme judges
stand five Democrats to two Republicans, and
the circuit judges, 70 Republicans to Is Demo-
Gratis, though party lines were not drawn in
the election of the former, and in only few
circuits in the choice of the latter"
THE New Orleans Times does not like the
negro emigration movement, and frankly says:
"We assert, upon the authority of the past
history and present situation of Louisiana, that
;ot
climate; that the present supply of all field
labor is insufficient for the development of
the agricultural capacities of the State; that
all attempts heretofore to import free white
laborers into Louisiana have failed to effect
| that object and that to allow the present in
adequate supply of field labor to quit the State
without making all proper efforts to retain it
| would expose the city and State to the danger
of an impaired production, which, with exist
ally destroy the present business generation of
| merchants and planters"
MAX SrRAKoscH, the operate impressario
has just closed the season in San Francisco.
He told an interviewer, a few days ago, that
he had received there his share of the
receipts under the contract with Mcguire, the
sum of $4,000. He has been obliged, however,
to make large payments from this sum to his
artists; but, after all, he has something left as
the result of his second California venture,
Notwithstanding the report that the opera has
been given at loss. Strakosch says the San
Francisco opera-goers are capricious. One
night they will crowd the house; the next
night the seats will be empty. Some imagine
| that an impressario should give an opera every
night in the week. Max admits that the pros
pect of seeing Patti in this country is growing
dim. She VIII not come to America for any
thing less than fabulous sum while her sing
| ing commands SO much money In Europe
/ Moreover, the impressar1o said he would no.
risk all he had in the world on the venture,
| and take the chance of failure. On this topic,
he said he once made a contract to give Patti
! $4,000 for 100 nights of opera in America, and
she paid $50, 900 to be released from the engage
ment. "You see" he said, "she will not come.

MCCARTHY, the recently captured chief of
the Umzuzi tribe, tributary of the great
Gwazi people, was a diapers clerk in Limerick
! in the year of the Fenian rising. He had a
relative, a constable of police, who warned
/ him that his name was on the Castle books,
| and that if he wanted to preserve his liberty
he had better leave the country. Mccarthy
fled to the South African diamond fields,
where he prospered, making two profitable
Investments in London. He also contributed
some readable sketches of the diamond
fel,s to the London Globe. Some
how or other he picked up with the ma
| tives, and being of bold, adventurous dispo-
sltion, and already reduced to a half savage
state by his occupation, he ended by joining
the Umzuzia. When the chief of that tribe
died, Mccarthy was elected to the position,
which he secured by killing, in single combat,
half a dozen pretenders. He made effort
to introduce Christianity, but failed. He as

eloped WITH him some time ago. The lady's
father would be glad to receive his son in Jaw,
but the Irish Kaffir refused to desert his
adopted people. 1t is feared 1t will go hard
with him on court-martial, for McCarty, a
combination of Fenian and Zulu can hardly
enlist the friendly admiration of his captors.
