of Goodwin Ordway, published in the

was stated that one boy was whipped
altogether too hard and the other not
hard enough. did say that Mr..
DAYS boy was whipped too hard !;
the other | said nothing about.
ALFRED RIPLEY.
Mr.. Eorle-Dear Sir: Since wri
ting you have found some facts in
regard to the whipping of those boys
which | wish corrected, as | want on
ly the true statements. | learn from
Mr.. Day himself that he sent his boy
TO break the roads. Had | known
that it was the fathers orders | should
not have whipped the boy for leaving.
Also state that it was Morris Gcary
who said, when told to be back at
o'clock, 8 shall do as | am a mind
to-"
GOODWIN ORDWAY.

A. j. DAY.
The above being assentcd to bv
both parties, all further difficulties

THE FREEDMEN Tho following

this village conveys its own moral
and speaks volumes in praise of the
efforts that are made in behalf of the
suffering colorcd population of the
south, who are not only subject to the
inc!cmency of the weather, but to tile
crucltics of their late masters. 1t is

no pay for his labor. Think of it I,

whcn he came in. The lawyer, who
Is Il true man, told him he could not
cpIlcct his pay before next October

along very well for something to cat.
Is lie had got place to work for small
pay, but what to do for clothes to

know. | says, come with me. took
lin down to the house and, mostly
from the barrel you sent, clothed him
throughout, and gave him clothes for
his wife and children, and a quilt to

case Of the many.
