DEATH OF AN Ex SLAVE.

The Alabama Tribune gives the following
notice OF worthy man who who recently
died in Mobile;
We hastily announced, on Tuesday the
death of Mnjoi Pierre Chastang lie was
SO remarkab BILE a man in many respects, that
brief Skech OF his lille wi |, we are sure,
interest many Of our readers, and pc, hapS
have beneficial influence upon ! is own
caste. Pierre was born in this city in l77Y.
and was consequently 69 years old ut his
death. He was the slate of Jean Chas,-
~ Of Regest Bernody. During the Indin n
War, and at The lime Jackson was in COM
mand OF the troops in this city, Pierre, then
known TO The citizens as a bravo, honest.
Trustworthy man, was appointed by Jack
sou PATRON, OF captain OF Goverpmen,
transport, to carry p DIVISIONS to tbs. troops
stationed al Fort Montgomery or F"rl Minis,
and those III camp near the present site Of
Mount Vernon. The undertaking was per>
iouS, as at that time The wh1Iie country
WAS infested With hus lie Indians, and but
few prisons could be found TO take charge
Of an expedition attended with so great a
risk OF life. Pierre was, however. success
full and reached the troops in safety, with a
suprlv Of provisions, &c. ~..G.
In 1919, during the sravages of yellow
fever, Pierre rendered essential service to
The city by taking care of the sick and pros
tectiDg the property of tie citizens. He
and one. or two otter persons were compelled
10 act as nurses and sexton. Tn sickness
and NOR atty were SO great that il was
difficult TO have the patients properly car
ed iol-three, fOtir and five hodipS we're ta-
ken at time in II cart and deposited in a
pit AS matter of coarse, all who could
get away prec' pilalely fled from the pesli.
lence, leaving their properly in charge of
Pierre. lie daily opened the stores tor the
purpose of ventilation and securing the
goods from damage On the return of The
merchants in the fall. they found everything
safe, and as some appreciali'n OF his servi-
ces and honesty. subscr,pt on was a once
lakenup for his emancipation: also to pnr>
chase h'm a horse and dfay Since that
period his avocation as drayman has
enabled him to support his faulty qnite
handsomely. and al the same time amaSs
snug Little property.
Pierre, until within year or two past,
enjoyed throughout his lot life uninteI rup>
ted health, and always seemed happy and
conlenttd No person in this community
white or black, was ever more highly es>
teemed and respected, and no one in his
sphere has b. en- more conspicuous. hon
est, benevolent and upright man. He al :
ways acted or the golden rule of doing nutu
others as he would be done by.

Mr. RrTcH1E's OPINION OF GEN. TAYLOR

Mr. RrTrHIE's OPINION OF GEN. TAYLOR.
Mr.. Richie did hot always abuse Gen.
Taylor as he does now. 10 May, 1916, af>
ter the battles on the Rio Grande, Mr.
Richie wrote as follows:
"HE NEVER BOUGHT A SLAVE AS AN IN
vEsTMENT, AND NEVER sULD ONE IN HIS
LIFE" l'-
We have recently been shown letter
says the Cleveland Herald, written by a
member of Gen. Taylor's family, in which
the writer makes the following importan,
statement If facts, We pu! them or RECORD
that all hoLest men may see and know how
wisely the Wing Convention did, when they
gave us such man 10 vote for. He never
bought slave as an invest ent, and never
sold one in his life. But here is The extract
from the letter. After speaking of another
DISTINGUISHED nun, who inherited slaves
prOceeos TO say:
"On the other hand Gen. Taylor also in
herited slaves, which he preferred 10 keep
and take care of, and has never snld slave
in his life. 1t is true. he has IN some IN,
stances, purchased slaves, who happened to
be connected in marriage with some serv
ANS, and a, their own solicitation, paying in
some instances an enormous amount 10 grs~
lify aud make happy those unfortunate peo>
pie" .f ...
How gioriously does this s'a'ement of facts
contrast with the foul libel that he haG sent
ten thousand dollars to Washington city 10
purchase slaves.
