Quoted in a spirit of impartiality. The
chairman continually evidenced bis wish for
an honest examination, without fear or favor,
and several Of the members also declared
similar desire. We hope thSt radical error
in the course of investigation will be cor
rected. The Committee is to examine into
the condition Of the High school. Its power
includes all the Professors, as well as the
Principal. It is not to accuse or try Mr..
MAaUIRE, but to thoroughly investigate.
Let them then co into all the departments
and see If the evil does not lie rather in GER
tain professors, and not in the head of the
institution. II some OF the graduates were to
be examined they could easily tear the
cloak from the gentlemen who are giving
such evidence against Mr.. MAGUIRE, and
prove that the institution is more injured by
their incompeteney and vulgaritY than by
any derellction of duty on the part Of the
Principal. We hope that the committee will
extend their examination, and look into the
departments as well as the conduct of the
much mali gned head of the school.

History of Slavery in Massachusetts.

chusetts" Which has already been intro.
duced to the readers of the News.
From the accounts of the Colony Of
Massachusetts, for receipts and cxpendi
tures of an Indian war commenced l745,
and ending in l746, Mr.. Moore finds
among the credits the following hn.
name item: 'By one hundred and
eighty eight prisoners Of war sold into
captivity, 93S7 l3s. 0Od." In the
Plymouth Record, volume ", page l73,
in August, 1878, there Is an order for
the sale in "foreigne countryes" of zone
hundred and twelve Indians"
In September, 1878, one hundred and
seventy:eieht prisoners ofwar" were
put on board vessel commanded by
"Captaine Sprague, and sold into
Spalne." In l716 one hundred and ff.
ty Indians came in and voluntarily sur.
rendered themselves, praying mercy of
the Puritans, but they were "sowld for
slales," remarks CASTOR in his 'Rela.
tions," and were shipped out of the
countrie." The wife and child of that
most celebrated of Indian Kings-we
allndc to philip of Mount Hope."-
were sent to the West Indies and sold.
This Indian Princess was the daughter
OF good old Massasoit. the first and best
friend of the Puritans in New England,
whose faithful friendship saved the Ply.
mouth Colony from destruction upon
more than one occasion. This fact
Edward Everett states in one of his ora.
tons. A cargo of North American
Indians were sold by the Puyitans of
Massachusetts to an "A fricaa Pyiace.
Thiswas carrying the slave trade into
Africa with a vengeance. Mr.. Moore de.
votes forty eight pages ofhis elaborate
history to the traffic which the Puritans
carried on for nearly half century in
Indian captives, the preachers and
elders writing long and sanctimonious

Nth and 18th instant to asscst in the very
laudable work Of rebuilding their place OF

which, for his credit, it is hoped was the
case. They ask the aid of any who may be

appeal, we trust, will not be made in vain
The modest little Chapel of ST. Johns
had raised its unobtrusive tower without
the corporate limits of the town of Winns-
boro' some thirty odd years ago, and MANY
of its members and some Of its pious and
veneraed founders had been gathered TO
their fathers and slept in its peaceful grove:
but this solemn sanc,ity was soon 10 be dis.
turbed by the hostile tread of an invading
army. Already had the incendiary's torch
spread desolation and ruin throughout the
surrounding country, and swept off one half
of the beautiful little town OF Winnsboro'.
leaving hundreds of families houseless and
homeless Still, there remained to the
stricken and desolate the consolation of
worsbipping the God of their fathers in his
consecrated temple. What was their horror
when they witnessed this, their last refuge
their cherished little Chapel, in flames
The venerable and historic bell which had
summoned the rebels of 1875 in ST Georges
Dorchester to their sanity devotions, and
which, for long years after, performed
the same pious service for the worsl,ipuers
at st. Paul's, in this city, tollcd out its re-
QUEEN from the crumbling tower, and fell,
and was lost in the common ruin.
General Slooum was heard to express
deep regret. Mt this time, for the commission
of q deed which he knew must be infamous
and damaging to tho whole army in the
eyes of the civilized world.
