Big Anti.MonopolK Pressure.

There is very great pressure being
brought to bear on Congress for anti.
monopoly, anti-consolidation and anti
corporation legislation, writes Redfeld.
Recent movements in the consolidation
of telegraph lines and railroad stock
iobbing manipulation have excited an
interest among Congressman that is be-
ginning to take shape. Business men
from New York, Boston and other
Eastern cities, who mingle with pem-
bers here, haze been for weeks DINING
the impending dangers into their ears,
and clamoring for Congressional
action of some kind. The bills
for postal telegraph and rail
road Testrictions already indi-
cate this feeling to some extent, but this
sentiment has received strong impetus
lately. 1t is now understood that the
National Autobiography League, recent.
ly organized in New York, has spread
with wonderful rapidity in that city,
duQ BOW udo ONC1 E,OOO udkuCc, CL1UidC-
ing many of the solidest business men in
its ranks. 1t has gone farthGr, and is
extending its power and influence by
local Organization all over the country.
AS result of this feature, members are
daily receiving letters urging Congress
to some action on the much mooted
questions. The present paevement
differs from the one started In
the West several years ago in the fact
that it is a compact of sharp, expert
enced, interested business men, engaged
in mercantile transportation interests in
the great cities, whereas the foEAer was
composed largely of farmers whose op-
poTtunity OF concerning measures of re-
lief were limited, and their methods nee-
essarily crude. It was also unfortunate
that their plans fell under the manage
ment of political demagogues who had
no practical influence with anybody, and
who soon dragged the movement into
disrepute. A distinguished member of
Congress in conversation with your COR
respondent to-day, said the indications
were favorable for q consideration of
these subjects in party platforms in the
near future.

COIOred Kansas.

The Hartford Times very pertinently
calls Tourgee's new famous "FooPs En-
rand" the Fools book against the
South" Il declares that 80, 900 negroes
emigrated to Kansas from the Southern
States during the past three years. Gen.
Walker, the head of the census bureau,
says there are only $1,000 negroes in
Kansas to day, and that there were II, 900
ten years ago. Even if the negro popu-
lation of that State had been at a stand
still for the past decade, this would give
only 26, 900 negro emigrants in ten years,
instead OF Tourgees $4,000 in three
years. However, that part of his book
is about as trustworthy as some
other parts. Tourgee. and the newspa-
pers that are repeating his false state
ments, might tell a word of truth If they
were to add that the Southern negroes
who have "exodusted" to Kansas, under
the bad advice of bad politicians, are suf-
fering severely for their folly in quitting
their Southern homes, and women are
making daily appeals, in Hartford and
in other cities, for second hand clothing,
boots and shoes, needles and thread, any
thing to keep the poor people from mis-
cry and death. Many, if not most, of
the misguided negroes are now, and long
have been, living in their cold Western
homes on charity.

NORTH CAROLINA MINES Gold in
North Carolina exists principally in the
central and western parts of the State.
The yield has been probably SIS, 900. 900.
At present there are some forty mines in
operation. The silver mines are neither
extensive nor valuable. For copper the
State is noted, the largest mine, and in
fact, the only real one, being that at Ore
Knob, in Ashe county. from which last
year 100000 pounds of copper was
taken, the mine being one of the most
valuable in the country. At the Sam

The Blaine and COnklIng Feud.

To illustrate the antiquity of the bonds
Of love p which tie Blaine and Conkling
together, the newspapers are reproducing
the following eulogium on Conkling by
the Maine Senator, (then in the House,
in the year 1866:
Gas to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, l
hope he will net be too severe. The
contempt of that large-minded gentleman
is so willing; his naughty dlsdain, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic, su-
pereminent, overpowering, turkey COB.
bier strut, has been so crushing to my
self and all the members of this House,
that know il was an act of the greatest
temerity for me to venture upon a con-
troversy with him. But, sir, l know
who is responsible for all this. know
that within the last five weeks,
as members of the House will
recollect, an extra strut has charac-
terized the gentleman's bearing. 1t
is not his fault. 1t is the fault of an
other. That gifted and satirical writer,
Theodore Tilton, of the New York In
dependent. spent some weeks recently in
this city. His letters published in that
paper embraced, with many serious
statements, a little jocose satire. part
of which was the statement that the man.
tie of the late Winter Davis had fallen
upon the member from New York. The
gentleman took it seriously, and it has
given his strut an additional pomposity.
The resemblance is great. 1t is striking.

THE CALIFORNIA BEET SUGAR IN
DUsTRY.-Beet sugar manufactures in
California seem to be experiencing a
greater degree of prosperity than has
heretofore fallen to their lot. Prices are
more remunerative, competition less ur-
gent, and. by reason of careful manage
ment, the field of saccharine matter ap-
pears to return 2 greater percentage Of
sugar than has been the case in past sea-
sons. Nor do we hear any complaints
as to the quality of their output. About
two thousand barrels Per month aye now
said to be turned out by the two beet
root sugaries now in operation in that
State. The San Francisco Grocer, in
referring to the subject, says: Nothing
can be more entirely a home product
than beet sugar. and while looking about
for opportunities to develop profitable
local enterprises, we knew of nothing
better entitled to the consideration of
capitalists than this industry"

A Wisconsin legislator has devised a
plan for ascertaining whether the women
of that State really desire to become in
vested with the privileges Of voting. He
has introduced a bill which authorizes
and requires women to vote at the next
general State election upon the question
whether they desire to have the elective
franchise conferred upon them, and to
assume the duties and Obligations of
male citizens. Neglecting to vote is to
be considered misdemeanor, and pun
