Brooklyn, New York, is beautiful city, noted
for its elegant and luxurious mansions, and for
the culture and refinement of their occupants.
These rich people are benevolent, too-ther

Brooklyn, from its numerous and costly
Christian temples, is called the Getty Of
Churches" There eloquent and polished

congregations. There HENRY WARD BEKcHEa

hate and revenge against brother.professing
Christians, who claim the protection of the same

The New York Times published the two follow

DEATH FROM WANT.-An inquest was held by
Coroner Norris, Thursday morning last, upon
the body Of girl eight years Of age, named
Margaret Foster, residing in the basement of No.
2O8 Water street, who died from want. The
Coroner found the place filthy and destitute of
furniture. In one corner Of the room was an old
mattress of straw, upon which the whole family,
father, mother, and two children slept. They
were nearly destitute Of clothing, and there was
nothing whatever to eat in the house. They
had had no food for two days.
DIED OF HUNeER.-On Sunday last, Coroner
Norris held an inquest upon the body of man
named Henry Rapper, o butcher, who died for
want of the necessaries Of life, on Sunday night.
The Coroner, on entering the apartment, found
the deceased sitting upright in his chair. The
appearance of the room indicated that the wife

Practical Working of the " Compensated
Emancipation Scheme"

The present Congress passed an act, approved
April ls, 1862, abOlishing slavery in the Dis
triot Of Columbia, Three commissioners we're
appointed under the act to receive and pass up.
on the claims of all loyal persons for compep
sstion for their slaves thus set free. The com
missioners were to make, within nine months
from the passage Of the act, full and final re
port Of their proceedings to the Secretary o
the Treasury. A sum no! exceeding one million
dollars was appropriated to be apportioue'
among the owners Of the slaves as full AMI
complete compensation for the loss Of the
property.
The commissioners have made their repor
and the distribution to claimants made or or
dered to be made. The assessed value of tn,
slaves set free in the District is about three
million dollars. The result 10 that the owner
OF slave property whose claims have been sd
mitted to be just, are paid of al the rate ol
forty four dollars on every one hundred dollars
so that they receive less than one.six!h the
value Of the property Of which they were de-
pFived by the act of this Abolition Congress-
And such will doubtless be the practical effect
Of this vsunted scheme Of Compensated eman-
cipation' in Missouri and any other slave State
in which it may be attempted. tbs an illus
tration OF niger philanthropy run mad.
The Louisville Journal makes the following
comparison:
Let Us suppose that Congress should take a
block or two Of real estate in the Fifth Avenue
New York, or Chestnut street, Philadelphia,
valued on the assessors books at three millions;
vote one million for its purchase and then pay
for 1t at the diminished sum Of four hundred
and forty thousand dollars-what would our
friends in Gotham or the Quaker City think Of
the justice Of this act, and would they regard
II as an honest compensation for their property
And yet who can deny that the principle OF
slave emancipation in Missouri and the District
Of Columbia involves the same injustice and
