DEALING wrru SLAVES, without III,

DEALING WITH SLAVES, without the
consent of their owners, ia an Objectionable tran
sactton, punishable by law. No man has right
10 buy anything from the servant of another,
without the consent of the master nor has he o
right to sell slave intoxicating drinks unless
that permission is given in writing. More slave
property is ruined by tiPp,in houses than by any
"ther evii, and It Is little surprising that
and hirers Of negroes do not put themselves &c
some trouble to have the laws of the State en-.
forced against their .violators. If the practice
couid be broken up servants would be more val u
able to their owners, and the police would have
far less trouble with them than at present
