Dishonest Dealers.

Did We now have all the money We
have lost by the dishonesty and rascality
Of others, there would be no occasion for
us TO write another line for the Lancaster
Ledger.
There are different kinds cf meanness.
A man might be An open, fearless villain,
or one with the semblance of honesty
We pray God to spare our readers from
this latter class. Mild and bland they are
in their general demeanor, but at the core
there is rottenness and infamy.
There are so many ways by which a
man may screen himself that we can
scarcely wonder at the multifarious forms
of vice. What we do wonder at though
is, that society should countenance men,
who by intrigue and duplicity inveigle and
deceive others. We recollect, when we
resided in Charleston, Of a merchant be-
coming indebted to another one day, and
failing the next. Subsequently he re-
commenced business as "Agent." A
doubt always arises in our mind, to see
this evasive arpendage to mans name.
We also know one, who is at the head
Of an extensive establishment in Charles
ton, who in days of yore, cleared himself
Of debt, by taking the benefit Of the Bank
rupt act, and for aught we know, was
thus the cause Of ruin to many. This
man, now lives like prince, spends a
great part of his time in London, and Par
IS
There is one species Of rascality which
on account Of its great prevalence, we de-
sire to tring 10 the attention Of u reader.
A., for instance, becomes largely indebted
to you. You hold his note, and from his
stock in trade, his apparent honesty and
uprightness, together with his manner of
living, steady habits, &c, you feel satisfied
you will recover every cent Of il. You
perhaps sue him just before your case ls
acted upon, A. makes confession OF
Judgement to some outsider, some man
perhaps 10 whom he may not be indebted
one copper. You are swindled out oi
your just dues, yet society looks upon A.
in the same way as before. Is tnot thefl
Would not such man resort to any spe.
cies Of rascslity to avoid the payment oi
deb,si Yes, he would not scruple to rob
q hens roost!
We find this species Of fraud prevalent
in every city town and village. Wedoubt
not, but every reader Of this article, has
known one or more cases Of this species
Of rascality. Ifsociety would exhibit their
disapprobstion Of this class Of rascals by
treating them rs they deserve, we would
perhaps have few more honest men,
Often, too frequently is it the case, that
honest. industrious men are compelled to

Murder.

A murder was committed in the lower
part of this district on Wednesday last
1t appears, that early in the morning of
the day mentioned, Marion Stevens, in a
state OF intoxication went to rhe house of
Mr.. Andrew McIlwain, carrying with him
two jugs ofliquor. On entering the house,
he found Mr.. Perry, the overseer, who
had been sick, lying on the bed in the
hall, with bis head bound up. Stevens,
II appears, wanted the overseer to drink,
which the latter refusing to do, he insulted
him in words, and then began an assault
upon him, by tearing the bandage from
his head DC. The oyerseer jumped out
Of bod, and taking up an axe handle, de-
Tended himself with it. II seems, that in
welding it about, to avoid the thrusts Of
Stevens, blow struck the latter side Of
the bead rs he was advancing on Perry,
which caused his death. Mr. Perry has
surrendered himself to the Sheriff Of the
district, and IS row in Jail.
