The contest seems to be between Web

until recently residents of this city, only
two were regularly employed as laborers
Many of them gained a precarious liveli
hood as runners to houses of prostitution,
and the majority were supported by char

general condition of the fugitives who
have taken up their residence in our large
towns and cities, where, be it observed,
they chiefly congregate.
"In Canada, also, they are regarded by
the inhabitants with distrust and aversion.
There are two towns in Canada West in
which a negro is not allowed to set his
foot, through fear that he may become a
burden upon the tax payers."
Is it not cruelty then to tempt slaves
from the South thus to degrade them at
the North?

There is no use in trying to live by 'brains

brings to our notice a most striking in
consistency in the proceedings of the
Great Will Case Decided Staves
Liberated. There has been for some
time before the courts at Richmond, Va.,
what was known as the Ragland will case,
and the verdict of the jury, just made, of
fers a singular commentary upon the re
peated declaration of Northern fanatics,
that the colored man cannot meet with
justice in the South. The Richmond Des
patch says:
"That will liberated SO or 90 negroes
in the midst of one of the largest slave
holding communities in the world, and
devoted to their use the cntiie property of
the testator. It was contested with all
the energy which could be brought to bear
upon it. The trial was conducted with
the utmost circumspection; witnesses were
examined and cross-eximined; the whole
testimony was reduced to writing, so that
the jury could read it all for themselves,
as we learn that they did a great portion
ot it;) and then the case was argued with

Among them is an appropriation for the

off those "prejudices" which now exist
between the two races, by bringing them
together in the lecture room at the cat

The Chief of Police and I he Gals.
A lively contest is going on between the
police and the street walkers It fseems
about six years ago Mr. Matsell, our in
defatigable Chief of Police, conceived that
he had the right to arrest and imprison,
as vagrants, every woman found walk
ing in the streets who was supposed to be
lost to virtue. This has been exercised
by the police at their will and pleasure
ever since. As often as two or three times
a month the records of the police inform
uf of the arrest of seventy five'or a hun
dred girls of a single night upon the
streets, nearly all of which are sentenced
as vagrants to Blackwell's Island for six
months. On Sunday evening , last, be
tween the hours of seven and ten o'clock,
no less than eighty-two; were ai rested an
