SLAVERY in WASHINGTON.

Washington correspondent Of the N. Y TTi-
bune mentions the following incidents
A poor woman was put in Jail about week
since. 1t is the Jail that cost the people OF the
United States nearly or quite sixty thousand dol
lars. Had this woman committed crimei Not
the least in the world. Her mistress wants to
sell her and pocket the money-that's all. She
puts her into Jail simply TO know where she is
when she finds a customer. This poor woman
offered Tor sale, expects to be confined in few
weeks. She has husband and mother, but neith-
er of them allowed TO so into the Jail TO visit
her. The husband tried to talk with her thro
the grated window the other day, but was driv-
en- off by some mental OF the establishment
Amanda, the slave woman, is member OF the
Methods Church, which takes the name Of
Bethlehem. | hear she is in good standing in
the church and sustains fair aud good character
generally. The mistress,-th owner,-the ira
der.-who is she She is Miss A. B., vener-
able spinster, few years ago from Virginia, and
now residing in this city. She brought with
her this woman, her mother, and two or three
children, upon whose wages she has lived for
years past, and now proposes to put Amanda in
her pocket She miss A b is member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, belongs to the
Mckendree Chapel congregation, and attends
class regularly. | am glad to say some OF the
brethren are little stirred about this transac.
ton.
Within few days another young wife with an
infant in her arms, has been put into the same
Peoples Jail She is seized upon by the Sheriff,
and one hundred and eighty dollars levied upon
her. This is done by woman, too--a Mrs or
Miss M, OF Prince Georges County, Md Mrs.
M. sold the woman few years since, with her
two children, for six hundred and fifty dollars,
and has received the entire sum within fifty dolls
lars, with the interest, (say eighty dollars,) and
now levies upon her for this balance. The hus.
band procured a purchaser, and has contrived
himself to pay up three hundred and fifty dollars
Of the original sum. The balance is yet due, not
to the woman, but to some one else, who made
the purchase. The lawyers have got hold of the
case, and whether the anxious husband will be
able 10 save his wife, or be compelled TO give
her up, Heaven only knows.
These few slight incidents will help you to see,
little, how we live and get on in this part OF the
country.
