FREE NEGROES FOUND TO be SLAVES. A
few days since free colored man named Fran.
co.'s Tomassin appeared before Recorder Su2en-
eau,to enter charge ofassault and battery against
another negro, named Alexander Priere, Who has
passed as free, and has been universally consid-
cred tree born by those who knew him. The
complainant, in revenge for the violence on his
per son, has revealed, however, some facts which
entirely change the social position OF the accused,
and reduced him and his whole family, who, like
him, have been reported free, 10 slavery. The
story runs thus:
Several years since, George Heno, butcher,
who acquired fortune in this city, lett for France,
where he resided until death. When leaving
here disposed OF all his slaves but one, young
girl whom, in consequence OF her being blind, he
was unable 10 sell, and without manumitting her
told her to go and take care of herself. In the
lapse OF years the blind girl became the mother
OF two children, and daughter. The sou,
now full grown man, is the party accused in the
al owe mentioned case, and the daughters herself
the mother OF several children.
The family OF Mr. Heno having always resided
in this city, but having never seen the blind gil
since he dismissed her, she had passed from their
memory. His son, George Heno, being inform
ed OF the statement oil Tomas n, now appears aud
claims the whole Prere family mother, son,
daughter, and grand chidren-as his property,
and has instituted proceedings to place them in
his possession. ~ 0. Delta.
| This is cruel case. There ought 10 be a
statute OF limitations running against bondage, as
well as against debt. 1t is moDstrous that credi
tor shalt be barred of his claim to money by
neglect OF six years TO enforce it, yet clad TO
the flesh AID bones, the liberty and life OF hu
man being shall run on undiminished and unim.
parted, through successive generations Of ostensi
Bile ireemen. George Heno, The father OF the
present claimrnt, not only abandoned his right
but positively surrendered it. Surely his son
ought TO be bound by the surrender.

MODERN ExrRAvAGANcE. The Providence
Journal, at the conclusion OF an article upon the
distribution of property, has some remarks upon
the extravaganza, lack Of system, and economy
in money affairs among the middle classes, which
are as applicable to other places as to Provi-
dence:
The subject TO which we would particularly
refer, is he effect OF habits OF luxury and ex.
travagance upon the production OF wealth and
upon national character. Such habits have in
creased all over the country TO an alarming de-
gree. Extravaganza in dress, in equipage, in
furniture, and In entertainments, has become so
common that degree OF display which would
have excited general comment few years ago,
passes by now without notice. Our own COM
munity is not without its full share of these evils
Could the fathers of the town, the men whose
patient toll and self denying economy laid the
foundation OF its wealth, revisit US, they would
be astonished, not more by the growth, the pros.
perity, the enterprise, and the improvement OF
the city, than at the alarming increase in habits
olluxury and extravaganza. Sums which were
regarded as snug fortune in their day, are now
lavished in furnishing house, and the amount
of years expenditure, in the old time, is spent
upon single entertainment. Ii this were con-
fined to the rich, the evil would not be SO great
but it is not. The habits which enable men TO
acquire wealth or TO keep it, are so opposed 10
those of display, that rich men are generally pru.
dent in their expenditures. The evil falls heav.
lest upon men Of moderate iortunes, who ruin
themselves in ambitious attempts to compass a
fellow to which they are unequal. The loss oil
wealth which follows all this is but part OF the
mischief. The habits of ldleness which are en-
gendered, the false tastes and the false appetites
which are created, and the false direction which
is given TO individual ambition, all tend to lower
the community in the rank OF usefulness and
honor and true prosperity.
