100000 savages to deal with AS he says, "better
fight savages few years than fight prejudice all
our Ives." He shows, from Northern journals,
that tho difference OF caste is as strong in the

where he was provided with the softest plank, a
good snooze and a lecture from the Mayor for the

PRovosT Contributed States us Stephen
Brown and James Gaillard (colored).-The pris
oners were accused Of appropriating several ar

but were pursued and captured. The Court found
them guilty, and imposed fine OF sis each, or 10
be put at hard labor on the streets for thirty
days.
United States us. Nancy Small and Josnps
Brown (colored) -Asssut.-This was one Of those
lively outbursts with which the freedmen and
women enliven themselves during the hot weather.
1t appeared that Nancy was the first agressor, as
she called the other defendant an old wench This
led to other words, and finally to blows. Nancy
being the better pugilist, got Joanna down and
punished her severely. The Oouft, as umpire in
this prize encounter, decided that Nancy should
pay So fine or FIVE days labor on the streets. Jo-
anna being less blamable was treated with more
lenienoy, being fined only 50 or four days' labor
on the streets.
United States us. Lewis Reves.-Selling shrimps
without license, contrary to the city ordinances
in such cases made and provided.-rhe defendant
had nothing to say in his defence. The Court
reprimanded him for his dereliotion and declared
the shrimps forfeited.
An interesting and amusing case was tried be-
tween two women for abusing and fighting each
other. The prosecuting witness who had pre-
ferred charges against the other, 80 criminated
herself that the tables were turned. The Court
sentenced her to pay S. fine, and ordered her
to hold her tongue hereafter.
The freed community seem to be imbued gen.
orally with warlike spirit. 1t is refreshing,
during this hot spell, to see some persons who can
put such weather at def ance and engage in pugi-
listic encounters. but it would be far more pleas
ant to know that they we're not equally afraid Of
work. The Court has generally frowned upon
these belligerents, and it is hoped that the mpo-
sition Of the fines will calm their demonstratiye
tempers.
