1--WE utterly deny and repudiate With

of the Journal, that labor is disgrace
ful in The South, that here men are

Labor is no more disgraceful in the
South than in the North. There
are tens Of thousands white men ia
every Southern State Who toll daily
in their fields and workshops day by
day and month by mouth; and many
Of them side by side with their slaves.
And we should like to see the man
bold enough to tell these men that
they are thereby disgraciug them
selves. We incline to the opinion
that he would not assert il twice.

the acceptance on their part of the
conditions imposed upon them by the
last Legislature. Among them are
the Bank Of Tennessee, Shelbyv lille

CosT AND WoRTH.--There is a
difference between the cost Of some
things and their real value. Lord
Napier, the English Minister al
Washington. for instance, costs the
British Government fixed salary
of $4,000. besides an allowance Of
$4,000 for house rent, $3.50 for
a secretary, aud ST 500 for one at
tache, making in Ill S29,750. To
t his may be added the sums paid TO
what are called Queens messengers,
who take the place Of the public
post and bear dispatches between
the two countries at an annual cost
of about as much more. The British
Embassy at Washington cant cost
Her Majesty's government much
less than $4,000 per year, if it
comes within these figures.

An AbolitioEist in a Serape.
One day last week, about night
fall, an individual presented himself
at the residence Of a gentleman, not
far from the city, and saying that
he was an agent for certain medi-
cal work, desired permission TO re-
main over night. Our friend did
not much like the appearance OF the
fellow at the outset, ba. it was
against those principles Of hospitality
which are instilled from the earliest
youth in the mind Of every South
ern gentleman to refuse rest and
food to. the weary and benighted
traveller, especially when that travel
Ter: was, as in the present instance,
Ia -foot--so he yielded TO the solicita-
rtions Of the new conner with some
reluctance. The book man soon az
ter supper became very communiea-

the Democratic party without stint,
and was particularly bitter in bis de-
nunciation Of the 'slave-power"
Of which, as may be we'll supposed,
did not tend TO Iaise him in the good
opinion, Of bis host, who is strong

THIS, however, might have been
borne; but when the fellow in an
unguarded moment declared that

slavery and the fugitive slave law,
and that be felt it bis duty to assist
the negro to obtain bis liberty, en-
durance as well rs hospitality ceased
to be virtue; aud his entertainer,
calmly rising from his chair, told
him that healso had his conscientio US
seruples about keeping negro-thiei

perceiying he had mistaken his Man
