POLITICS IN THE REPUBLIC.
How about the politics?
Well. politics in Liberia are very
much like politics everywhere else.
There are two parties, of course. The
administration party and the anti,admin.
istrntion party.
You mean the "ins" and the "outs q
Yes. that's about it. They call them
selves Wings and Republicans. The
Wings won the last election when the
issue was directly made Of native. born
citizens against the immigrants. BY M.
tives mean the descendants of the orig
inal settlers, not native Africans. These
last arc not allowed to vote until they be-
come to a certain extent civilized.
PROPERTY QUALIFICATION FOR VOTERS.
What is considered civilization
They must have acquired lands and
have - good knowledge OF the English
language. The immigrants are allowed
to vote as soon as they get the deeds to
their lands. The government gives TO
each family town lot and twenty. five
acres, and to each single man town lot
and ten acres. The deeds for these cost
about 81, and they must bo taken out
before the immigrant can vote. The
President is now in treaty with the King
ofthc Mandingoes with view to forming
commercial alliance, and to get his as.
sistnnce in building n railroad TO the in.
terror.

the Convention which sent me. The
board of managers meet next week in
Columbia, and l will bo present ct the
board.
Are you still connected with the late
Liberinn Exodus Association
No. | WAS merely the Clerk of that
association aud have nothing to do with
it now.
THE WORK AMONG THE HEATHEN.
Well, what is the outlook among the
heather?
think the mission work among The
heather i'll Africa has heretofore been
conducted on q mistaken basis. The
missionary who is ignorant of the lan-
guage and dialect of the natives is com
paratively powerless to do good. One
cannot preach the gospel effectively
through interpreters. The interests of
civilization and Christianity can only be
advanced by educating the native chill
dren and making them Missionaries, and
the Baptist Convention is now turning
its attention in that direction. The
Liberian Baptist Association have two
missionaries in the field now The Rev.
j. S, Washington, who is missionary to
the Gollah tribe, and the Rev. Judge
Cook. who has gone to the Bassa tribe.
The Rev. r. B. Richardson, who is NV
colaborer, will be here next spring, and
we will advocate the missioary cause
here.
At this point Mr.. Bouey went into an
explanation of the wants and workings
of the cause, and became eloquent.
A diversion was made by the interviewer
in the direction of the huge ches. of cu.
riosities which the returned missionary
had brought with him, and these were ex-
hibited and explained. Among them
is the mask and fclisch Of the head of The
devil &C the wild African, which
Mr.. Bouey donned in all its horrible de-
tails, explaining the moLus operandi of
the ietisch. There were also n number
of household implements, weapons, clotl,
and other things, all of which vii. be
exhibited during the lectures which Mr..
Bouey intends to deliver, commencing on
Mondy night next ut the Morris street
Baptist Church.
Mr.. Bouey is very ht.colored col.
ored man. and highly intelligent, Us his
tall; with our reporter shows. He is, we
believe, from Edgefield County in this
State.
