100 DOLLARS REWARD.

IN Tuesday morning, between Fredericks~

of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare
he was nquring his way to Stafford Cour.
House. He is described to me as person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
| markably white hair his stature stout and well
set. He wore brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thrty
years OF age, as well as is remembered; stout ir
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has drawing manner of talking.
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack His dress was 3
blue cloth cap grey great coat, and his undev
clothing drab cloth
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without am
spot of white about her unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre OF
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
a -pence-halfpenny. She is, as we'll as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markably long in her body; has a long tail. ana
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incision which was made a year or two age
to cure the hooks.

A correspondent of the Virginia Herald esti-
mates that there are in the counties OF Orange,
Madison, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Eau
quier, 25, 900 barrels of Flour, yet to be carried
to the Fredericksburg and Alexandria markets.
This statement is hypothetical, but it cannot be
very far from the truth. We may then set down
10 the losses of farmers in those counties arising
from the reduction in the price of flour alone,
tbe aggregate sum of $4,000 or $4,000 to each
county.

Under the nea0 Ldle.
Difference,


In the first case, then the poor man, who is
obliged to suffer himself to be sued, has So
$500 more to pay under the new law than he
has under the present law; and in the second
case he would have to pay SIS AZ cts. more I'm
der the new law than the present law: and yet
he has no Magistrates fees to pay under the
new law. But, what is little extraordinary in
all cases of twenty dollars and less, under the
new law, the Constables' fees amount to more
than both Magistrates and Constables' under
the present law. Now, | would ask whether
change in the mode of collecting small debts, tina t
will produce such results can be desrable-and
whether it will not be considered as oppressive
in the highest degree to the poor man, upon
whom alone it will operate? 1t cannot be other
wise than SO considered.
But there is also serious objection, on the
part of creditors to the transfer of jurisdiction
in cases over twenty dollars, by the delay it will
occasion in the recovery of such debts. A judg-
ment cannot be recovered in the Inferior Court
in less than three, often six months Whereas
by the present system judgment may be reco-
vered, and the money made or secured in as
many hours-an advantage which can only be
properly appreciated by those concerned in
trade.
There are other objections to the present
scheme, which require to be noticed; but fear
already trespass: will, therefore, take some
other opportunity to present them for conside-
ration, with proposition to amend this Law

CODE OF LAWS FOR THE DISTRICT.

Mr. .Snopden:-The Code of Laws for the
District of Columbia, reported to Congress, at
its last session, by the Committees appointed for
that purpose, has been printed and distributed
amongst the inhabitants Of the District, for the
purpose of giving them an opportunity OF eXa-
mining it, and proposing such amendments as
experience may suggest, before it is finally act
ed upon by Congress-
This Code comprises full and complete sys-
tenn of civil and criminal law; and, as such,
forms subject of deep interest to the citizens
of the District, being intimately connected with
their future peace, happiness, and prosperity.
1t involves principles which, if carried out as
contemplated by this Code, will be found, IN
practice, to operate most oppressivey upon the
people, particularly the poor and laboring class
eS, upon whom the most onerous OF its proVl-
sons most exclusively fall. 1t nullltleS the
whole Judicial System Of the District, which, as
il now exists is both simple and efficient in Its
organization, and which, from 33 years expe-
rence, is so well understood and approved by
the community, that they have not thought 1t
necessary to apply to Congress for any atera.
posed-whatever may have been done by lndi-
vduaS to promote their own private interest
And it gives us Judiciary under an entire new
organization, which is not only complex in its
arrangements, but novel in some of its details;
and which, in carrying it into execution, Will
be found burthensome to the people: for it Gre
ates an unnecessary number of Courts, thereby
in Al LII
justices and it deprives the trading and manu-
featuring portion of our community OF one OF
the most essential means Of conducting their
business successfuly--the cheap and speedy
mode of collecting debts to the amount OF nifty
dollars, which they now possess by law, and
which they have possessed for ten years, by
taking from the Justices of the Peace their Ju-
rsdiction in all cases over twenty dollars, and
transferring it to an Inferior Court.
Under these circumstances, it becomes our
auty 70 examine this subject with care and de-
liberation, and to interpose and prevent, if pos
Soie, the passage OF this Code-or to have it so
amended as to render it less Objectionable, if
change must be made Before this can be done.
however, it is necessary that the people should
possess more general and better knowledge
u those laws than they now do, to enable them
W decide correctly upon the subject and as
lnls knowledge can be obtained in no other way
'han by means of the public press, | will now
proceed to lay before them by your permission
through the columns of your useful paper, such
extracts from those laws as may deem neces-
sary for that purpose, together with such re-
