Morsmsnt in q right Direction.

We learn from tho Memphis Appeal, that
Mr.. c. c. Baylor, gentleman Of character and
reputation in that city, has recently delivered
lecture at Holly Springs, Miss, on the wisdom
and necessity Of exempting negroes from sale
under execution for debts Of their owners
Two objects are proposed by this movement
one to abate the clunors Of the ubolitioniats
against the force separation Of families; and the
other TO increase the number OF shareholders.
by cxempting the poorer whites from the loss Of
their slaves, in consequence Of debt. The pro-
posSl is said to have secured the approval Of dis
tingushed gentlemen at the South, and for.
NAL appeal 10 Shareholders for their appreciation
is soon to be made in the Baltimore Cotton Plant
err. So far as 1t goes, this is movement in the
right direction.

THE WORKINGS OF THE MAINE LAW,

A correspondent of the Detroit Tribune, in
writing to that paper, August LIST, says:
A day or two ago received communication
from one OF my friends, residing in Rockland,
in the State Of Maine, in which are some state
ments in reference to the celebrated Maine Law
which thought would interest your readers,
The writer Of the communication is Rev. II. c.
Tilton, He is one of the prominent olcrgymen in
Maine, and has taken an active part in the tenn
perRnce movement. The following are extracts
from his letter, and are important to us, because
they come from an eye witness, on the spot
where the law originated, and where il is now
in operation;
ain our State the most desperate opposition
is made by set of political demagoguos
of desperate fortunes, and irresponsible charac.
tiers. But thus FIR we maintain our positions.
One thing | would say to our Western friends
could we gain their ear, Do not credit the
statements of our political papers which oppose
the law. Such here, certainly speak falsely
The most unfair and false statements are made ia
prejudice the puOlic mind One thing is true,
the great majority Of the voters Of Maine are in
favor al law"
"Teil your friends another fact. Our law is
most popular where it is most strictly enforced
IN This tOpa the traffic is entirely suppressed. We
have a population Of nearly ten thousand, and
not one grog.Shop in the lace. The fourth oil
July passed as quietly us any other day. die
not see one intoxicated man during the d.y."
at is different, TO be surei in some other pla.
ces, hut just as far as the law is executed doe.
il gain in public favor, II you wish TO max,
your law a fNvorIte with the people, enforce it
give practical exhibition OF its effects. Crime
will Immediately diminish-poyerty will var,
soon begin TO disOppeOr-tOxes will fall ofr-fo
the cause OF the public expense will be removed
md property win soon rapidly accumulate"

LiouT CoIN.--An American traveller thus
describes the process by which light coin is de.
tected at the Bank Of England.
In another room was a machine, exceedingly
simple, for detecting light gold coins. A row
OF them dropped one by one upon spring sealcj
IL tho piece Of gold was OF the standard weight,
the scale rose to certain height, and the coln
slid of upon one side into box; II less than the
Standard, " rose little higher, and the coin slid
of upon the other side. asked the welgher
what was the average number oil light coins that
came into his hands, and strangely enough he
said il was "a question he was not allowed ~ an
swGr.
The next room | entered was that in which
notes are deposited which ore ready for ISSUE
awe have thirly.two millions Of pounds sterling
in this room" the oilicer remarked TO me, twill
you take little Of III" told him it would be
vastly agreeable, and he handed me million
sterling, Give millions Of doSrs,) which re-
ceived with many thanks for his hbCralily, but
he insisted Oh my depUsIting It with him again,
as il would be hardly sale 10 carry so much mo-
ncy into tie street very much fear that
shall never see that money again. In the vault
beneath the floor was o Director and the Cashier
counting the bags OF gold which men were pitch
ing down TO them, each bag containing thou.
sand pounds sterling, just from the mint. This
world of money seemed 10 realize the fables Of
Eastern wealth, and gave me new and strong
impressions Of the magnitude of the business done
here, and the extent OF the relations OF this one
Institution TO the commerce Of the world.
