J. Milton Turner, elvmlnister ftom
the United States to Liberia* viaa In
New York on Saturday, In conversa
tion with a Tribune reportrd He des
cribes thf present condition of Liberia,
and the prospects of the colored, peo
ple .who have gone there from the
Southern States after the cjoae of the
rebellion. 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

when the president and oilier officers

In a very bad condition; the country
has no money. President Gardner 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-

food-to sopprfy the consumption of the
native Inhabitants. Imported rioe 'll

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.” • ^

MR. 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

and therefore civilization, among the

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

“Ifot at dH,” was the response, "and

, [From the London Dolly TslegtafllC] ,
Dr. Bucknlll, In hlssecpnd Lumlolan
Ipcture, has made a most interesting
dlsclqsare, letting complete and final
light upon a “cause oelebre” about
wbick_atpne tlroe public opinion was
y^ry widely divided. 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

young and innocent createwtoahe gal
lows. He knew very well hhat'he was
about, the wiseacres said. He* had
been bribed by *lr. 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. Mercy, fortunetelyfor those upon
whom it falls, to hot logical. It wed
argued that, la epHe of her own eoa-
matter of fact, however, we nowr loarn
a real ao-j dreadful, mot Ivy ^did exist.
The girl’a own mother, having become
partially demented,i-wob kft by her
husband to five lo tie seclusion of her
own room, v/hiie the management of
the household was taktn over the
baffle 'of' grown-up daughters by a
Wgh-spirited governees, who, after the
d« ’ease of the first Mrs. Kent and a de
cent Interval, became Constance Kent’s
stepmother. 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

, The Diaz people claim that the
tfpublea of the border originated with
the Indians. Ths offending tribes are
the Apaches, and Llpaos. But the beet
evidence Is to the eflfect that the Mexi
cans hire these Indians to steal Texas
stock for them, often accompanying
them In their most promising raids. It
matters little, however, whether ths
Mexicans are at the bottom of the
raids or not; they are made from t and
the booty Is carried back to Mexican
territory., Mexico must therefore be
held responsible for them, and In case
of failure to repress thqnvpetq w^ll es

writers on legal medicine have placed
this in the list of cases of homicidal

bloody record has been adduced for
the defence. ^ Built appears that some
