Selling Negroes in Maryland and
White Men in Missouri.

The New York Express thus reminds
the Radicals of a fact or two they seem
to have forgotten:
One branch Of Congress is in fer
ment to-day about the sale of several
colored people in Maryland, under a
decree. Of court, after conviction Of
crimes. One Of the parties-Dick Har-
ris-was found guilty of stealing beef,
aud sentencedto be sold for six months.
Not being very valuable wooden
fabric, he was bought in by his brother
for fifty dollars, and he is now working
at Annapolis for eight dollars per week.
Had he been white man, the law
would have required a sentence Of from
one to fifteen years in the penitentialy.
None of the other blacks who were sold
brought SO high figure.
The law under which this sale was
made was passed by a Radical Legisla-
tuie and approved by the Radical Gov
ernor Bradford. In the Senate it re-
ceiyed every vote except two, and the
vote in the House stood forty eight to
six,
What is singular enough or what
would be,straDge in any other times
than the presents the fact that out
in Missouri the Radical Legislature
lately passed a law requiring white
Migrants tpersons out of employment,
to be sold to the highest bidder, and
under it some six Migrants were, few
days ago, sold by a court at st. Louis
for six months. lit worse to sell ;
negro beef thief for six months than tt
sell a white man for the same periot
for no other crime than being out o
work ?

lated to him by Lindsey. He said about 9
o'clock on the night Of its death, his wife
(wbo was not the child's mother) went to
correct the child for something it refused to
do; she failed to make him mind, and asked
him to do it; he said he commenced cor
rectiag him with q piece of single; he
whipped and talked to him alternately for
two and a half hours hereasoned with him
and tried to make him mind I: it the end Of
two and half saw a change, stopped
whipping him, laid him on couch and
called his wife; she came, and said, "Why.
johnny is dying? ~ He said he guessed
not, and took him off the lounge and he
died in his arms; be said the child tainted
or had spasm ;itroiled Up his eyes,and
became stiff and died. A neiehbor who
was called in Immediately after the death
testified That Lindsey was much moved

claiming repeatedly, He's, gone; poor

The young divine used all his eioquence
but in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermons expressed his

upon he could preach extenporaneously.
