case of Riganly---Fin-
ished ViIlany. .

As the conductor OF the public press, we
have never been called upon 10 record case
of more perfect and continued system OF ras-
cality than that which we feel bound 10 lay be-
fore our readers this week. Yet such is the
peculiar and varied nature of the case--such Is
It's deep depravity, that We are at loss where
to begin or where TO stop. We purpose, how
ever, to detail the circumstances as they have
come TO our knowledge (confining ourselves TO
the facts, as near as pOsSIble) and in SO doing
we intentionally omit the names of The unfortu-
nate females who have been made the wretched
victims of species of villany unparalleled in
this country Their cup of sorrow and moril-
fcation must now be full, and we will not run
il over by gazetting their names.

ted the study of law, certificates purportlng TO
be from distinguished gentlemen III North Ala
bama, and which represented him as the son OF
wealthy cotton planter OF that State. He oh
tanned credit TO large amount in the stores OF
that place, and pretended that he was in daily
expectation of the receipt of a large amount OF
funds from his father, living as above stated
he e., "A lo,
he expected his parents in short time TO pass
through Greensboro, on visit 10 some friends
living in Southampton, Virginia. Again he
pretended 10 learn that his father was dead, but
that he expected visit from his mother, and
with countenance indicating grief for his lost
parent, he entered a milliner's shop and be-
spoke for his mother a costly dress of mourn
ing, while he wore Grape on his hat bold
and reckless man! thus to tamper with the
wrath and thunderbolIs Of heaven.
After this, he succeeded, by s,ratagem, 10 be-
come acquainted with Miss E. B, an ac-
complished young lady of Guillord county, and
daughter of a gentleman of high responsibility
and enviable properly. He was pleased with
her; and, with the cold hearted lerocity of a

confidence Of her father; and by warm and ar

duced her 10 become his bride He determined,
in the black malignily Of his soul, to become
The spoier of the peace of that domestic circle
where, before, all was Tranquil, happiness and
JOY. Like the gaze of the basilisk, his reacb-
erous eye was fixed upon that fair victim, and
she might not escape. Now he stood before

and the nUp,iaI tie was proclaimed to the world
by the public journals when, NOT twenty miles
distant lived lawfully wed wife, who, perhaps
at the moment of his marriage with Miss B.
sighed with throbbing heart for her husbands

The tale stops not here Soon after his sec

Of fair complexion and genteel dress) told his
new falherrin-law that he had been sadly dis

Alabama, which he had so long expected, but
still pretended that he confidently expected
