Reports from East Africa state that
the slave trade is reviving on the
shores of Lake Nyasaa, and along the
banks Of the river Shire. 1t is in this
region where the missionary posts Of

pay nc regard to the circumstances of
the English missionaries. There is

ONE reason why wheat and corn do
not command a higher price for Europe
is explained in the fact of high freights
Freights are said to be double because
the high tariff on goods amounts
almost to an exclusion and prevents
ships getting return cargoes. If they
could get return cargoes they could
take export freights at low rates and the
difference would be added to the pro-
ducers Of corn, produce, etc.

POLITICAL.
The two great political parties having
placed their candidates in the field their
relative fitness for the Presidency and
politics generally are the subjects of
counting room and street talk. This is
but the preliminary skirmish to the gen
eral battle all along the line. The main
bodies are being organized and fully
equipped.
The Democracy performed the solemn
duty of swinging their flag to the breeze.
Solemn because there was such q want
of enthusiasm, unbroken by a single
cheer. In a quiet, business-like. orderly
way it was done. Each one of the prom
inent lig;9ts appearing to be most active
in his cork. The post Office was near
at hand>and perhaps a wished for vacan
cy there may have lent ardor to the work.
The time will soon come for the Re-
publicans to show their colors, and
whether or not it will be done with an
ecat worthy of the cause they champion
time will show and we will chronicle.
EXPENSES OF TIE COUNTY.
In coming over the expenses of the
county, as published last week, we
thought our election machinery was Il
little too costly The Judges of election
and the clerks seem to differ as to the
time employed in the same districts: the
error is on the side of excessive time
One family in this district is well repre-
sented. but we had not known before
that any of them had played the role of
bailiif. That may account for the ac-
tivity of that one. but fortunately there
were nothing occurred that day to test
his efficiency.
Another item Of expenditure, which
caused sad reflections, was that of the
burial of paupers, penniless mortals, per-
haps homeless, their last sad rites Il pub
lie charity. To seek for the cause might
lead through paths of folly, misfortune,
wickedncss, misery and pain. We can
only hope that the spread of education,
the cultivation of industrial habits, and
frugalty in the use of earnings may les
sen such expenses, and make science seek
for post mortem examinations otherwise
than at the public expense. There is to
be Il large and costly funeral next No
vember. the expenses to be betrayed
from the public funds and private contri-
buttons. We wonder who will be the
mourners. We have 4 notion that it will
be conducted with mut1led drum, re
versed arms and all the usual military
honorS.
EXCURSIONS.

iected, but not up Salt River. Messrs.
