NEGROES SOLD AS PURIsHmENT
FOR CRIME.

A dispatch from Baltimore, dated the oath,
says. -Four negroes, convicted of larceny
and ordered to be sold by Judge Magruder.
at Annapolis, were sold on Saturday Some
20 or 80 farmers were present at the sale
The first one sold was John johnson, who
bid for himself, and, the auctioneer taking
his bid, he was finally knocked down to
himself, and became his own purchaser, for
Ss7. Another man brought $685. and two
girls brought respectively S22 and $50 each
There was an officer of the Freedmen's g
Bureau at the sales, and it was thought the
bidding would have been more spirited but
for the fact that an impression seemed to
prevail that the officer in question was about
to interfere with the right of the purchasers
and release the negroes from the custody OF
the purchaser
The officer, Major vandelip, was, how.
ever, only present for the purpose of making
an affidavit, SO that Judge Magruder could
be brought TO trial, before a United States
Court, under the Civil Rights bill. The
affidavit was made before the United States
Commissioner.

coPPERHEADs VOTE FOR "NIG-


GER" IN BOSTON.
The following, from the Boston Common
'esd'th, and Post, is a remarkable instance o
the sincerity and honesty of the professions
OF the copper-democracy, in reference to
negro equality and negro suffrage. The
white mans party" of Delaware turns Out
10 be the negro party of Massachusetts. A
striking Illustration of this fact occurred in
tho Boston municipal election on the 10th.
We quote from the Commonwealth:
An interesting feature in the election was
The running of Mr.. Richard S. Brown, a
eolored gentleman, for the Common Council
N Ward Three, by the Democratic party.
MI. b. was candidate before the Republi-
can caucus, but, falling to get the nomination
bnY few votes, he subsequently accepted a
democratic nomination, and, with his colored
friends, supported the entire Democratic
tlcket. The result was the election of one
Democrat and two Republicans and tie
vote between Mr.. Brown, the Democratic
candidate, and Mr.. Merritt, the Republican
nominee. On Wednesday afternoon q second
irial was had, and, as before, the Democ
Iscy, to man, supported Mr.. Brown, aided
oy few OF the Republicans; but the regular
Republican nominee carried the election by
no objection TO Mr.. Brown because Of his
color, but solely because he was not the
regular nominee. They did nominate and
elect on their ticket colored man, Mr..
lrotter, for Inspector OF Elections. Mr..
Brown would have made capital Council
man, and no Republican would have hest
tated to give him a cordial support had he
been regularly nominated nor will they
hereafter. We trust the Democracy will
continue In the good work Of supporting
eolored menu
And 80 the Democracy, rather than be
beaten on their own "phite mans platform"
would prefer to support even a renegade
negro. They did so and were defeated with
him. In lamenting the loss Of the election,
that veteran organ of the Democracy, the
Boston PoSi, says:
1--WE regret to record the defeat Of the
Democratic candidate in Ward Three, Mr..
Brown, most respectable eolored gentle
man. he was firmly supported by Demo.
Gratis and Conservatives, but the Radical
element In that locality severed his political
1ugular without any compunctions what
ever. 1t Is not surprising, in view Of this
and other treachery, that the colorsd voters
are very much incensed against the Repub-
licans, and sooner or later they will retaliate
IN decided manner"
How does the Salisbury Democracy of
Delaware like thatf Instead of "whlte
boys in blue" they should now call them
selves the white boys In Brown--a very
ominous name by the by.

GENERAL ScoTT's DAUaHTER.-It is not
generally unknown that the daughter of the
late General Scott died broken hearted in
French convent, because her father would
not give his consent to her marriage with
young French nobleman and officer, who
was understandable In every respect, en-
cepting that General Scott did not wish to

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. - About

f;cnd IL Back,

Under the above caption we find the
article below going the rounds of the
press, II is some satisfaction to learn
this much about SO valuable an accom-
panimcnt in the ordinances OF worship.
and we hope the investigation will he
carried on until the property is rccoy
cred and restored to itspropcr place.
Rcv. l'r. Adgcr, ofSouth Carolina,
in letter to DR.. Backus, of Balti-
more, lately published, makes the fol-
lowing statement, and youchcs for the
fact.
When General .Shcrman's army
passed through " innsboro', s. c., a
Capt. Fuller, and six others of that
army, robbed one Of the Ruling Ed
g.s OF the Scion Presbyterian Church
there OF an elegant silver communion
set, the git Of Il dying female member
OF the same, costing two hundred aud
eighty dollars in New York, having
the church's name and the donors
name engraved upon each article.
DR.. Adgcr makes the following adj
d;tinnal statement, which, for the hon
or OF humanity as we'll as Christianity,
Nchoro cannot hc true
y certain congregation Of your body
now has that silver communion set,
which Capt. Fuller presented to chem,
and are using it for their communion
purposes, with those names of Scion
Church and its dying sister staring
them continually in the face, as thcy
eat the bread and drink the wine
which set forth the body AMI blood of
our common Master.
The idea that IA Christian church
can celebrate the holy ordiuancc of
tho Lords Supper in the use of vessels
thus obtained is too mOnstrous.
