Mr. Turner Is a pure-blood ed negro of large frame. He haa been educated, Mid expressed his opinions with decision and confidence. The picture that he gives of Liberia is not an encouragiag owe for the negroes who have been hoping "o better their eondltfon by crossing the Atlantic to find new homes there, u “Liberia,” said Mr. Turner, ’’le a Re public, ^Ith a goverment. modelled generally after that of tb© United States, It Is ordinarily peaceable, there havlogibeen no revolution' since i!871, when the president and oilier officers were killed.

In truders, as he considers those to be who come from America.” "What is your opinion of the prosr pects of these negro colonists from America, and of the probability of their success ?” was asked. "I think,” Wfui the reply, “that the scheme of the Emigration Society and of the other simllair organizations, to colonize Africa from the Southern States Is one of the greatest frauds of this century- American, philanthropist*. Influen ced by the belief that they are as sisting the elevation and well-being pf an unforttinat* class, and at {.he same time protnotlng''lbe evangelization and civilization of Africa, contribute to the fund&.of these bocieties.

Imported rioe 'll seld at $4 a bushel, and then becomes, la the abeeooe of money, the only cur rency foj barter! The Immigrant has to pay from $14 to $19 a battel for flour, $1 a pound for butter, 85 cents a yard for calico, and foy other neces sities prices tn Lhe same proportion. In tfcte face of all these fapts be haa to compete with the hatlyp for labor. The native Is strong add hardy with a very few wants, and able, at 25 or 50 cents a d»y to perform the labor; usu ally assigned to horses In other coun tries. For ordinary oervicew' all that an immigrant can expect is $2 a week. “Do not the emigrant societies fulfill their promises to help the immigrant on his arrival ?" “These societies,^ answered Mr. Turner, “promise six months’ support to the Immigrants. At the expiration of that time the colonists are left help less and without means of livelihood, Ignorant of the vyaye of the country, hating the native and hated by hlpo, and probably suffering from disease. At the departure of every vessel for America there are many who beg to be taken back. The ©aptsins refuse to carry them, even If they have money to pay their passage,-for, the captain* say, If they allow these men to go back and tell of the actual condition of af fairs In the colony, the Emigrant 1 So ciety will no longer employ them. And so the emigrants remain to suffer and die.” • ^ /, “Are all parts of' Liberia as unat tractive as those where the colony Is looted 7” '* ■ , ^ “Probably not; the Inland portiboj •f Africa a r ® perhaps better.

TTTHNKR’S SUGOESribN OI» REMEDT. “Have you a remedy to propose ?” “Comparatively speaking^ th? English policy Is better than the American. The English found, In or ganizing Melr colonies, that their first plan of Irking natives to Europe'to educa.e them as teachers of their brethren did not work well; Uie educated pupil went back with Idqas of civilisation ill-suited for the pur pose for which ho had been trained. Then the English adopted the plan of the Faurah Bay College of Sierpa Le one where naiivt g were trained at home fbr dhrest work among theif peopler Thlahaw •been more successful. These pupils have made possible education, and therefore civilization, among the other natives, and they are them selves occupying prominent positions as teachers, lawyers, legislators, Ac. Now Liberia should bp tho nucleus arourfd which the* neighboring tribes might unite Into a powerful civilized nation.^, Let the money contributed by philanthropists in America be ex pended in establishing native manual labor schools, which shall supply the claso of men needed is the country, free from all the drawbacks incident to emigration from America.

This pribe f* ths, best medium for the propagation of .civili zation to the Interior tribes of Africa. Until something of this kind has been done, the present plan'of -awltlng the American negro and the Aflcan negro is preposterous.” i . ; "Is there, then, no disposition on the part of the natives and Immigrants to coalesce' "."v !” “Ifot at dH,” was the response, "and I will tell you why. The immigrants baveheen slaves, and they are bearing In mind and body the fruits of tbat slaverj^ The negroes who leave this country are actually lower In the scale of civilization than those whom they fiod in Afrlcd.

On the night pf the 29-30th of June, 1860, at Rond, a lUtte 1 village near Frome, In Wiltshire, was perpetrated a most cruel and mys terious muhlpr. There resided at Road a certain Mr. Kpnt, a sub-inspector of factories. HJs household consisted of himself, bis wife, three daughters— Mary,, aged twenty-nine, Elizabeth, twenty-seven, Constance, sixteen—and a son, William Savile, fifteen—all chil dren by a former^ marriage. Besides thesp them was ateoa daughter,Mary, Aged five, a son, Francis Savile, about four, and an Infant'daughter, the off- spripg of the seconji marriage. Early onp moping the-nurse gave the alarm that the Utile boy Francis was missing. A few hours later his body was found itj atycutbouse, with the throat cut In the most shocking manner. Suspicion fixed Itself upon Elizabeth Gough, the child’s nursemaid, and upon Mr. Kent, tne father. All sorts of wild and ut terly Improbable stories were put about. The nurse was charged before the magistrates,, but there was abso lutely no evidence against her, and the prosecution had to be withdrawn. Mr. Kent himself incurred an amount of odium which must have been—know ing ae he did his own Innocence—cruel and painful to him la the last degree. It was openly said that he had killed the child f to prevent Ijs disclosing his own nrfsconduct, and circumstances were Ingeniously tortured to justify tb?©oBcluslon, Ultimately^Mr. Which- er v a skillful r depotive^ was entrusted with ithB-'aa^ei. '-ifeverybedy expected him to fix ths guilt upon Mr, ient and the nurse. Instead of tiits.'Lerore-h? had had thp case-twenty-four hpura io bis hands, be discovered tho terrible secret. He came to the eoaclu^lpn that the little boy had been myrdsre^, by bis half-sister Constance, and so con vinced was he of this that houebtained a warrant, anested the yotreg girl and brought her before tie magistrates. TYie charge * <j heard at great length. Wbicher fou ed his case chiefly on the fact that one of Constance Kent’s nightgown’s was missing, that there were circumstances leading to the con clusion that she herself bad destroyed It; and that she bad done so because It wgs stained with blood. The charge broke down, and the magistrates dis missed It. Coo*tance Kent was Me- vated to the rank of a heroine. Her youth, h©r beauty, her Innocence were enthusiastically proclaimed by every lip. Whioker, who^had after all on'y done his duty, was denounced as a meddlesome, Incompetent^ malicious feeslon, and the fact that her legal ad visers had not pleaded insanity, the poor girl was not altogether responsi ble for her actions. The sentence of death was commuted, and within a very few weeks, upon a medical Opin ion being given by Bupkpill .that, although ahe was sane, ahq yet would, undoubtedly, become Inaane under pe influence of ooptlnuod confinement, ehe received a free pardon. 'What wa^moat atrapige about the whole' case was, «s people obeerved at the same time, that no motive for a criipe so ..terrible Was even suggested. Why should .Con stance Kent have killed her little half - brother, to whom. It was proved, she was deeply attached ? D d she desire to avenge herself upon her stepmother for some real or imaginary wrqog ? Mr.—now Lotci—Coleridge, her advo cate, stated in court before sentence was paesed that she had hewelf de sired him to say that she was not driv en tp the terrible crime she had com mitted by any unbYnd treatment on the part of her stepmother. "She met with nothing at home,’’ said the learn ed oounqel, "but tender forbearing love. I hope I may add, not Improp erly, that it gives , me a melancholly pleasure to be made the organ of these statements, because^ of my hopor, I believe them to-ba try*” ‘ We now k^ow from Dr. Bucknill that Mr. Coleridge must have been quisled. Dr, BuckoUI bad been appointed, as we have already said, ty, Inquire Into the unhappy girl’s staje of mind, »ud felt It his duty to report that she was sane. She confeosed bet prime to him, and also told him he^' motive for It—a motive which he at the kept a se cret to save the feeling* pf those who were then alive, but which he now con siders himself at liberty to divulge. It is difficult, as Dr. ifell rd- marks, to conceive any more strange portent than that a young girl, not In sane, should have h.ueu capable of mur dering her beautiful boy-brother In cold blood and without motive. , As a mouohard, who! bad tried to drag a •tart with.

Kent to fix the crime on OonstancA' So high, fqdeed, did popular ifeeling run that the unfor tunate Mr. Kent was for some time In positive danger, while Whicher had to leave the police'force. • !Flve years later the truth came out. Wbleher’a unerring sagacity had from the put him on the right track. Constance, after the murder, left home and resided as a visitor or novice in a SOrt of house o^. njercy at Brighton. Here she confessed to a clergyman, the Reverend Mr. Wagnpr, that she, alone and unalded, had murdered her little brother. By. Mr. Wagner’s advice she repeated this statement to ‘tbpHataSir Thomas Henry, the learned Chief Mag istrate at • Bow-street, before whom^ having been fully cautioned as to the serious character of the step she was taking, she Wrote down and signed a full and circumstantial ponfeesloc. Even then, however, public opinion Re mained faithful to her. It was said* that the sisters and Mr. Wagner had driven her mad by their High Church practices. This was one view, Another was that she was sacrificing h*fself to ute the reputation of her fathefT The explanation that her story was true Was f*r too simple to be accepted. Nevertheless It proved to be strictly accurate. . When put upon her trial sha ( pleaded guilty. Mr. Justice Wflles, the learned Judge who presided, warn fare so 111, is that they have money to ed her solemnly of the consequences. She persisted in the plea; It was re- odfded, and sentence of death was phased. It was fsh, however, that the i >h, h° . . migrant who bee iuccaeded went there case was one to v hick the Bo jal clem ency might with ifrnmttge be extend ed.

In this poeltion she was unwise enough to make disparaging remarks about her predecessor, yittle dreaming, poor lady, of the fund of rage and revengeful feeling she was stirring up In the heart of her young stepdaughter. To .escape from h^r bated presence, Cpaytanpe once yao away from home,, but was broqght back.; and,:after tbla shp only thought of the most efficient manner of wreak ing her vengeance.

Atrher ar raignment Constance Kent persisted In pteadlngXJdllty,’ Had’the plea been ‘Not guilty,’ It would, I suppose, have been my most painful duty to have told the court the tragic history which I now fell to you, In ‘the belief that it can give no pais to those concerned in It, omBthat It la mischievous that so great and notorious a crime should re main unexplained.” Thus at last we know the secret of tlm Road murdeL Public sentiment la Mexico is natu rally aroused against Incursions by the army of the United f^Mes^-and this sentiment has taken official form.
