BAD TREATMENT OF Poor PEOPLE.-A letter
from New York, published in the Petersburg E1-
press, gives the following instance of how poor
people are treated in the great Northern Empo-
rum:
THE cruelty-it might be called barbarity-
with which poor tenants are sometimes treated
by the of tenement houses in this city
finds painful e1empfcaton in the death of a
woman and child in Grand street on Sunday
afternoon from inhaling coal gas in small room.
An inquest was held the bodies yesterday.
when it was ascertaned that the brother of the
owner Of the house had made several efforts to
eject the tenants, though they had conducted
themselves we'll and paid their rent punctually.
and failing in this. had employed a mason to close
the fue with which the stove pipe of the room in
which the two persons were sutfocated was con-
nected. The tenants had no knowledge of this.
so on Saturday they made coal FIRE in the stove
as usual. OF course, the draft being stopped.
the gas generated by the burning coal found a
vent through the door of the stove and filled the
room, where if unconsciousy inhaled by the
occupants. The result that old woman
and little boy died, and two others. a man and
woman, were almost in the agonles Of death when
they we're discovered and saved,
IF we in the South were to treat even negroes
that way, few self-sancti6ed philanthropists
of the North would raise howl that might be
heard from one end of the Union to the other.
Consistency is jewel.

MISTAKEN. WIN. E. Chandler, Esq. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. writing from WiImine--

MISTAKEN, WIN. E. Chandler, ESQ, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. writing from Whining
ton, n. c.. to a Northern paper. says:
1T would be little unpleasant for Northern
men to come here to live; but the South must
have northern capital, aud | feel sure this I'M
pieasantness would wear off,
We think Mr. Chandler is entirely mistak en- in
supposng that any Northern man. if he behaved
himself good citizen. would be made to
feel unpleasant in Wilmington or any other
Southern town. 1t is only those who come among
us and by their conduct insult US. that are made
to feel unpleasant. But we venture the assertion
that no Northern man who comes TO live in
Southern town, who casts his lot with US, and
conducts himself honorable. decent man,
will ever be rendered unpleasant by any act of
Southern men. The experience of hundreds of
Northern born men will justify this assertion.
The fact is. many of the leading men in all our
town>-Inen who have been promoted by south
ern ufuence-are Northern men. and are as
much respected and loved any portion of the
community. Southern people. of course, have
no love for that portion of the Northern people
who favor the persecution of the South and ad
vocate degrading measures but if Northern
man wants to settle in any of communities,
and is disposed t" act good citizen. he may
rest assured of being treated kindly and court
eousy.

GREESBACKs.-1t il curious. if not strange,
that people with but little or money on hand
will refuse to take greenbacks. when it is evident
that they must have for all that they can get
for some time to come. Greenbacks will not be-
come worthless. and we would adyi Sc people to
dssipate their fears that point. The Rich
mond Enquirer. speaking on this subject says:
The fear that greenbacks will become value
less results in great measure from the exPe-
rience people had with Confederate money;
but, though gold may rise and fall, greenbacks
are not going to become worthless. Our people
may well discard that fear at once. and realize
the fact that greenbacks currency. the
measure of the value of our lands and the sole
medium of carrying daily business To
get them by every honest means. and to use them
in every legitimate trade. is not only our duty as
citizens, but is the part of wisdom individuals.
We would not advise our people to sell their
lands and hide the greenbacks. but to use them in
farming. in the improvement of their lands in
paying off their debts. and il restoring the pros
perity of their State.'

The Corn Crop OF THE WEST The for
eign crops having been unusually good during
the past season, wheat is nov selling in France
for less than one dollar per bushel, aud it COM
mands only about one dollar and nine cents in
Grea, Britain. The corn crop 0: our WesterH
States having also been unusually polite, it cam
not be probably transported in the present state
of the European markets to the Atlantic sea-
board, and the practice has again commenced of
burning it for fuel. The Galena Qllinois) Ca
zette says:
1--WE understand that many of the people of
Warren and other towns in the east part of the
country are using corn for fuel. We bad con-
versa,icn with an intelligent gentleman who has
been burning it and considers it much cheaper
than wood Ears Of corn can be bought for
ten cents per bushel by measure, and seventy
bushels, worth seven dollars, will measure a
cord A cord Of wood, including the saving,
costs 50 so, which is 81 SO more than the cost
of cord Of corn. besides the fact that the corn
produces more heat than the wood. If these
statements are true, (and we have no reason to
doubt them,) there is no fuel more economical
than corn. The crop of corn this year is far
beyond the demand"

COMMON SENsE.-Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
(himselfa radical and fanatic) delivered an ad-
dress reconstruction at Troy, n. Y, the other
evening. and is reported as saying:
Those flashes of Southern sentiment. bitter
editorials and tossing heads, not surprising
when think of the scourge that has swept over
them-that proud spirit has been obliged to
confess defeat at the hands CT men they despised
that their property has been swept away
their sons slan-they reduced from affiuence to
beggary. WhenI think of this the wonder is
that they temperate they are. Con-
sidering their fearful defeat aud Inundated posi-
ton. think they have behaved well. 1t ma

No FENCEs.-The Virginians are discussing
the propriety of abolishing changing their

this plan would be a great deal more economical
than the present one, especially in view of the
fact that s" much fencing and timber, in many
localities. destroyed during the

in this community opposed to fences. judging
from the extensive manner in which fences are
tore down and burnt up. Somebody will get
crippled if they don't desist from their hostility
