three hundred pounds short distance ahead. The
signal was given for the stoppage of the train, and

lizard CASE OF A CINCINNATI SooUNDREL WHO
PASSES IN THAT Cry FOR A GENrLEMAN."-Such is
the heading OF letter which we have received
from Lexington, Kentucky, the particulars of which
follows:
Day before yesterday happened to be at one of
the negro jails in this city. The proprietor asked
me to walk up stairs to three negro girls he had
just bought of Cincinnati gentleman We found in
the room three negro girls one a remarkably baan-
tlful, extremely modest, and very intellectual mu
latto girl. When we went in this girl seemed as
founded when she was informed by the trader that he
had bought them, 1.-THE price was 81 900 apiece she
exclaimed at cannot be possibe;" but when she
was told that such the fact, she told the follow
ing story: They belonged to a gentleman in Balti-
more, who recently died, leaving his property to
his nephew, in Cincinnati. This man went on to
Baltimore to take possession of the estate He told
these three girls that his purpose was to take them
to that city to liberate them. He showed them the
papers of liberation (Which It'll possible were gen
uine,) and she says he was commended in the news
papers Tor his generosity and kindness to the girls
In proposing to take them to Cincinnati and proyid
ing for them. They left Baltimore in iuli conf
dence that their destination was Cincinnati and that
they were free. But at Maysville they all landed
and came Immediately to Lexington. The poor girls
said it was hard and cruel case; that if he had
made it known in Baltimore that they were for sale
he could easily have sold them there. She finally
said that all she had to ask of him was to give her
in his pocket.
Comment upon such cruel and hesh detention
is unnecessary. In slave State regular negro
trader who would be guilty of such conduct wonld
be scorned by every man ne met.
We give the above from very responsible source
and we hope, for the credit of Cincinnati that the
story of these poor girls is not true. No truly
Southern man could be found guilty of such tricke
ry ana meanness; nor could Northern man. unless
he had lost at the gaming table or his mistress bou
doir all sense of shame and honor Cincinnati had
received great credit for the beralitv of the leGa
tees under the will alluded to, but this Lexington
story is so harsh reaction our feelings, that we
sincerely hope no such abhorrent specimen of hu-
mainly resides among us.-Cin. Enquirer
