FIR om the Anoka Herald.
At meeting of tae County Commls-
sioners held on the 18th inst, VIA
Brown, Of Fridley, was appointed Over
seer of the Poor and from and after the
first of February all the Co. poor wlla
board with him. Mr.. Brown is to re-
ceive $50 a month for the services of
himself and wife, and $40 month house
rent, and will also receive the benefit of
the labor of the inmates of the house; the
county furnishing all the beds, bedding,
and other necessary furniture, also all the
provisions, clothing, etc, for the main-
tenance of the poor. It is hoped that this
plan will reduce the number and expense
of the persons who derive support from
the county. The method heretofore in
practice has certainly been q costly one
and anything which will reduce the ex.
penses, will meet the approval of the tax,
payers. We hear that several of the un,
fortunates have threatened to 20 to work,
rather than the poor house. They fear
that their rations of sugar, tea, canned
peaches, oysters, strawberries and dried
fruit may be cut off.

Frauds Upon the Negroes.

The Pioneer Press thinks the negro
exodus business is getting ridiculous,
and the Republican politicians generally
are very much disgusted with the way
the exodus is turning out. It appears
from the evidence taken before the Sen
ate committee on the colored exodus that
systematic effort has been made in
North Carolina to create an exodus from
that State to Indiana, but with very
meagre results. J.P Dukehart, south
ern p assenger agent of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company, gave some very
interesting testimony on the subject,
showing how the negroes were misled by
false representations, to the effect that
they would be given new suits of cloth
ing and free transportation after reach
ing Washington, etc. Charles N. Otuy,
colored, editor of the Washington Argus,
weekly paper devoted to the interests of
the colored race, and principal Of the
Howard university school, testified that
he is native of North Carolina, a grad
uate of Oberlln college, and of the How
ard university. He said that he was one
Of the founders of the National Emigra-
ton Aid society, having himself drawn
up its constitution, that at one of the
first meetings Of the society movement
WAS put On foot to send several thousand
negroes into Indiana to aid the Republi-
cans in carrying the State at the elec-
tions, and that as soon as he saw that the
exodus was to be used for political pur-
poses, he withdrew from the society.
His testimony exposes the outrageous
frauds that have been practiced upon the
credulous negroes, and, along with the
testimony of other reliable witnesses, is
very damaging to the Republican side
of the question. 1t is shown, also, by
! the evidence Of railroad officials, that the
effort to create an exodus has been ex,
/ ceedingly destitute of results. The total
number of negroes who have emigrated
: to Indiana from North Carolina during
the past year is about eight hundred, not
over two hundred of whom are voters.

pires to congress as delegate from Dako:

eat Of the Deadwood Press, went east
this morning on letter of unlimited

Mclean says he has solid friends among

While the paper dealers are rushing thei,

The most foully slandered woman in
America is Carlotta Patti. The repre-
hensiblepractlce OF some newspapers, like
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in charging
an actress with drunkenness and glut-
tony, ETC., on finsY story of walters, is
about to receive back>set IN the present
libel suit. The evidence so far, instead
of sustaining the outrageous charges
against Patti, shows that she only ate
seven quails on toast and two dishes of
maccaroni at that particular meal, and
washed them down with two bottles of
claret, three bottles of beer and a quart
of champagne. Between the acts that
night she may have taken three or four
bottles of beer-perhaps halt a dozen.
The testimony differs. But that is all.
She was not drunk. A few hot Scotches
were only used during the play, as gar
gle to clear her throat But she was not
drunk. The mlscreant who started that
Infamous story on such slender founda
tion as this ought to be hamstrung.
When we think of him being newspa>
per man, who ought to know how much
it takes to make the drunk come, we
blush for the profession.
