The PRIVILEGE OF FREEDoM.-Three negroes
stole a hog from the plantaton-o of DR.. NJ, about
ffteen~miles from Madison, Fla. They were ap-
pretended, duly tried, convicted, and sentenced
to six Months Imprisonment. On hearing the
sentence they alL looked somewhat blink; but,
after a short conference amongst themselves,
one of them, who acted as spokesman, said to
the Office, I'Massa Judge, sposen we take de ole
fash'n whippin and be let 60. How Dat do?"
The good-natured official, smiling, replied that
he had no authority to order whipping, nor
had he any one to lay it on if be did commute
the punishment. 'FBut, massa judge" said the
aspiraut for stripes, 'sposen we gets somebody
to do de whippen, how den ?" Very well, re-
piled his honor, ''lf you prefer the Whipping
and employ some one to lay it on we'll, have no
objection, and will let you off from the punish
mcnt," A coiored friend, at their request, after
some search, engaged neighboring oVerseer to
do the whipping. When the men were tied pre-
paratorv to their receiving the preferred punish
ment and the operator was about to begin, ne
said, Look here, boys, cat waste my time
and strength for nothing l amt agoin to whip
YOU unless I'm paid for it." "Well, nsassa," said
the spokesman, Chow much you ax?"-
Three dollars and half head" he replied,
sand not q cent less" Cash was rather scarce
with the culprits But with the scrapingS of
their pockets, supplemented with what their CO.
lored friends lent them, the requisite sum of ten
dollars and fifty cents was made up, and the
whipping was fully and faithfully administered
they got the full worth Of their money. Never
theleSs, like man everywhere, discomfort with
his eniorments even under his own chosen con-
6itions, their eloquent spokesman again thus de-
ivered himself, 'Massa Judge, dis am hard case,
time use to been when we could get a proper
whippen for muffin, but dey is free US and now we
can't get whippen wild out payin for Elm. Mas
sa Judge, wish dey would make US as we usen
