In 1879, prior to the Revolution, st. Domingo e1
ported 70 1856 PIG lbs. of coffee and l4000000O lbs
Of sugar; in 1918 the export Of coffee had fallen &c
900 000 the export of sugar had ceased entirely
and sugar is now imported into the island.
In 1884, the year OF the emancipation of the slaves
Jamaica exported to England 1925 1888 lbs coffee
and 1875 625 300 lbs. sugar. in 1889 five years after
those exports had decreased to 942j 1871 lbs. coffee
and ~ SUI ,3UO lbs. sugar.
The whole number of slaves imported into the
English West Indies was l700.0O0i in 1881 only
660OUO remained 10 be emancipated, being loiO,OOl
less than the number imported, or decrease .! o'e'
three6fths. =,
The whole number Of slaves imported into the
United States prior TO the prohibition OF the elave
trade in 1903, was $4,000. BY the census OF iSoS
the slaves in the United States amounted to 2o4a
add to this the free blacks i3lls5total of The negro
race was 3, 63s sBs, having increased 5265s oo' OF
nearly nine for every one imported.
The free black population 10 the New Engiano
States in $780, was l9419. In 1850, period OF forty
years. il had increased to OIL or eighteen per cent
The slave population in the United States IN lSiO
was l9 1858. In 1850 il had increased to 3,20i ,3l3
or 2 per cent, nearly fifteen times the ratio OF ths
increase OF the free black population
From the above facts the following CONCLUSIONS
may be drawn:
Let. That in consequence of the revolution in St
Domingo, and the emancipation of the slaves in ia
maca, those islands are fast rslapsing into deserts
I'd. That slavery in the United States is very dill
ferent institution from what slavery was in the Eng
lsh West Indies; that in the United States owing
their kind treatment, the slaves had increased NINE
fold vhile on the contrary, in the English West In
dies, they had decreased three-fftbs.
Sd. That the negro race increases nearly ffteer
times a. fast in their stats Of slavery in the Southern
States, under the care Of their masters, as in tbe
state Of freedom in New England, when depeuden
on their own resources and the charity Of the white

THE RECENT MASSACRE IN KENTUCKY
EukrHER PARTIcULARs.-The telegraph announced
briefly few days ago, that family of four persons
Of the name OF Joyce, living some miles from Louis.
Vile, were all brutay murdered, and their dwelling,
with their bodies, consumed by fire. The following
additional particulars gather from the Louisville
Courier:
Tao house was the property Of William Joyce a
young man, who was fortunately away from home on
The night Of the murder 10 attend a wedding. He
had however left brother, Richard Joyce, aged 49,
at the house. TO take Of bis property and the ia.
mily during his absence. The inmates of the houee
were Mrs. Lydia Joyce. her son Richard Joyce
young man Of ~, Mrs. Welsh, her daughter awidow,
and the at,ers little daughter, child Of three years.
The oldest son, William Joyce, the owner OF the
house, as before stated, was away from home. The
house was burnt to tina ground late Thursday night,
and the next morning an investigation led to the
horrible belief thst the entire household had been
murdered. The charred remains Of the two women
we're found near the fire place, while those OF the
young man we're lying in the place supposed to have
been occupied by the bed.
Mr.. WIN. Joyce returned TO his home to find it
lnas. Of snoudering RUNE, and with the assistance
Of the neighbours, instituted vigorous investigation
OF the premises. and the cause OF the disaster Sus.
poOn at fastened upon several of the negroes IN
The vicinity, a:d, searching the premises Ut Dir
Pendletou a watch coat psnts and other things, the
property of Mr. Joyce were found secreed under the
house. Bill, slave of Mr. Pendieton, was then
rested and confessed that he and three Others murder
cd the family piundered and then fred the house,
AT this revelation the greatest excitement prevailed
aud lynch law about to be enforced at once but
eallner Judgment overrued the action Of the moro
hasty and the three other negroes implicated were
caught and tied to stakes TO make them confess, which
they finally did, and were committed to jail. They
stated that they went to the house about midnight,
broke open the door, and encountered Richard Joyce,
toe brother vf William. n. was Drained with club
in the presence of mis- mother and sister. The aged
mother seized pair Of tongs to ruah to the defence
Of her son. but the instant was attacked by the
negroes, one of whom knocked he. senseless with
club The daughter, Mrs. WEIGH, attempted to
escape out of window, but caught by the feet,
dragged back, and then beaten TO death. The infu-
rated ruans then sacked the house, took the little
girl Of Mrs. WEIGH, threw i, upon the bead, set
fire TO it and hed the child being actually burnt

Allow me, Messrs. Editors, to present to the voters
Of the 9Th Judicial District, the name Of JAMES u.
JErrnIEs, Esq, of King and Queen, as a gentleman
emineny qualified TO fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Judge Lomax. For more than twenty
i've years has Mr. Jeres devoted all his energes TO the
law His career has not been that OF the politician,
but of the experienced and successful ia"yer whose
undivided attention to his profession. qualities him
for the administration of those laws with which his
industry aud acknowledged ability have made him
so familiar. For many years. Mr.. Jeffries has been
the Commonwealth Attorney in King and Queen,
and under the old Judicial system, was prosecutor in
tn. Circuit Court Of Essex. His vigorous and mature
intellect his high legal reputation his spoess integr.
ty and uusullied public and private character all beft
him for the post, to which we hope and believe the
SURFACES of his fellow-ci,izen will shortly summon
him. No more need bs added in his behalf. His
reputation and profound legal qualifications will not,
we feel confident, be- overlooked by the people,
whose intelligence will direct them where to look for
merit and fidelity.
