Our meditations on this advertisement have sug.

of Mr.. ii. 7. Greenwood, of Al Carondelet street,
probably more than once, nay, possibly quite
number of times; otherwise, Mr.. G. would not be
able to assert confidently that he does shave we'll.
The question then arises--how Is 1t that Mr. G.'s
throat remains in sound condition las we infer il
does from the fact of his advertising, and from his
necessity for cash) when everybody knows or ought
to know, that the Southern slaves so barbarOus
and ferocious, that, if they had the opportunity,
they would be 'to cut their masters til roat."
Next, we should like to know by what rule of
justice, by what principle of morality, by what
precept of religion, this accomplished dining room
and general house servant, and gentlemans body
servant, who is of fine appearance, and is good
barber, is kept in condition where he merely
serves the purpose of Mr. Greenwood, to the
tent of relieving that gentemans necessities when
in want of "cash." Is not such accomplished

himself? Could he not, in any city Of the civilized
world, if permitted and not hampered or impeded

BAIL upon tho charge of stealing and carrying out
of the State slave girl, owned (according TO
Southern law) by Mr.. James Sandiford. The girl
was put in male attire, and, thus Disguised went
off upon the railroad, in company with Chapel.
They reached Montgomery, Ala, where they were
arrested and detained to await the arrival of
officers from Savannah. Chapel. it seems, con-
fessed that he took the girl. but said he intended
after availing himself of her labor for a time, to
return her to her master. If his object had been
to take the girl to the North and thereby secure
her Freedom he would be entitled to our sympathy;
but there is evidence that such was his purpose.
the penalty for his offence is imprisonment for not
less than four nor more than ten years.. s.
