1--WE hear loud complaints every -where Of
the scarcity Of hands TO pick the cotton and
save IT, and we saw acres Of the finest cotton
that over grew dropping OF ths bols aud wast-
ing for the want Of hands TO save it, The
planters made contracts with their former
slaves TO remain with them and save the crops,
but they proved ubfaithful, and deserted the
first opportunity. Thousands OF bales Of
splendid cotton will bs lost in Washington
County 10y this cause, aud the neighboring
counties are no better of. We have heard
good judges estimate the loss by this cause
throughout the State to be 10000 bales. 1t

stringency in the money market, and doubt
as to the effect of the financial policy of the

says "the prevailing feature OF the market is
continued dullness" aud concessions would
have to be made by holders II pressed TO sell.
The sales OF the week footed up about 800 600
lbs, ranging from GO to 75c, the highest ke-
ure being paid for Ohio 5il" n
In Boston, the Bulletin says that with a
tight money market and goods moving slow

week. Manufacturers are holding off and will
not stock up with material until they see
what.efect the mohey pressure Is likely TO
have upon prices" The sales for the week
were a little over bali million, at the pre-

A Horrible stOry-AIIeged MUIR
der at Sing Sing Prison Last
April.
NO westerIF z the New York correspondent
OF the Boston Post, tells The following story,
which We copy without vouchiug for its Ac-
caracy: V
A story about mysterious murder case,
occurring insde the walls Of Sing Sing State
Prison, has recently been in circulation, al
though six months have elapsed since the
event ia alleged TO have taken place. The
victim is stated to have been one Evans. an
underszed, feeble convict, against whom it is
asserted, lbe keeper Of the shop ia which he
worked had conceived q sort OF hatred, which
manifested itself in taunts and abuses, such
as finally maddened the prisoner to knocking
the keeper down. An interchange ef this
knock down PROCESS occurred which resulted
in Evans being marched out OF the shop un-
der the muzZles of Two or three revolyers, and
locked in dark cell. "a u.1a a..i.
Not long afterwards be was showsred and
bucked, uuder the discipline of The principal
keeper until he became insensibe, and was
dragged back to his dungeon and thrown u.
This cruel system OF puaishment was kept up
daily for nearly fortnight, being varied BY
kicking, stamping, and extra severity in the
showering and buckng, until the poor victim
became unable to walk to the scene of daily
brutality. Then he was taken by the help OF
the three keepers to undergo his daily tortures
always resulting 10 his becoming nsansibIc.
In his despair he pulled piece of wood from
his bunk, with which be attempted to commit
suicide, by piercing his breast with its sharp
/ a.. a l.. -
making an ugly and most painful wound,
which soon became gangrenous, and, not be-
ing dressed, was both offensive and agoniginR,
After going through the horrible persecutions
daily visited upon him by his brutal keepers,
Evans finally became so reduced as to bO una,
ble TO leave his bed, when he was taksu from
the dark cell and placed in prison cell proper.
Here he managed to communicate to the 9th
er prisoners what he had experienced, and
convinced OF the near approach OF death, ne
asked for religious books, in reading which,
and in praying, he passed his time, sinking
gradually day by day aH7
During ell this time the physician, il 10 said,
did not come near him, nor was the iuhiction
OF these brutal punishments superiDtended oy
the doctor as the law prescribes, But On the
lst OF April poor Evans was 20 nearly dead
that, as the physician was going home that
evening, the keeper of the hall, where the dy-
| Ing man lay, asked the doctor to look al him,
The doctor went TO his cell, and did not 20 id
contenting himself with asking Evans what
allied him, aud on being answered that the
sick man thought himself dying aud Goa Id
scarcely breathe, told the Keeper. Evans would
feel betterin the morning and went home. -
In two or three hours the poor sufferer was so
much worse that it was necessary to remove

The CoDsiItuiIonaI Amendment

Some discussion begins tc arise in
Washington in regard to the probability
of the adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States, declaring "that slavery shall never
exist in any State, and that all powers of
legislation on the subject of slavery shall
be ta ken from the respective States, aud
conferred upon Congress" 1t seems to
be exceedingly doubtful, now, whether the
amendment will be carried. 1t will re-
quire the vote of twenty-six or twenty
seven votes in its favor (Senator Doolit-
tie says twenty }, and the votes OF
not more than nineteen or twenty States
can be counted on with certainty. If the
votes of twenty seven States are required
to carry it, the votes Of twelve States will
defeat it, and it is extremely probable that
the vote of fourteen or fifteen States will
be cast against it. There IL no doubt oil
the fact that every one of Southern States
will amend their Consultations so as to
abolish slavery, each State for itself. But
that is very great concession for them
to make, and that is probably the extent
to which they will go. Three States have
already voted on the question and defeated
it, namely, New Jersey, Delaware and
Kentucky. 1t is expected that twelve
other States will vote against the Oonstitu
tiOnal amendment (although each of them
either has or will abolish slavery by theil
own State Constitutions namely, Texas
Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi
Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carroll
ma, Maryland, Georgia, Virginia aud Mis-
souri. Even il three of these States shoulC
vote for the amendment, the votes of tn,
other nine would defeat it. ......
