A New RAscALITY. colored people

A New RAscALITY. coored people
of the South having been taught by some
that their old masters arc not to be trusted,
and that the carpet flash gentry are their true
friends, have been subject to all kinds OF pecu-
lation and robbery under this benign reign. +. y
One of the latest systems ofsWlndllng- which
could never have originated in any other coun-
try than where the son must graduate IN the
school OF rascality, by being able to cheat his
father before being sent abroad, has been prac-
tised recently upon the poor negroes IN the
Rappahannock Valley " T-Go.s1-
1t seems that 4 man from the North appear
ed in Richmond county, and associated with
the negroes. He announced that he came pre-
pared to sell them lands at nominal price,
and was armed with the proper authority. lie
was provided with large headed tacks, on which
were stsmped the cablistic ''U. S. " The ne
groes we're told that the purchase of these was
evidence of title on their part from the, proper
authority, and that all that remained tor them
to do, was to buy and pay for any number they
wanted-each branded u. s.. tack representing
five acres of land, and evidence that the tax
had been paid. The branded tacks were sold
at S5Ieach.g The Agent came upon DIS S
estate, and finding an old negro with only $4},
told him he might have one ~. 5. lack at
that price, which represented hVe acres OF land,
and that he should stake off his five acres, and
drive the tack into the head Of one Of his
stakes t.. -rro.
The Manager, where the trespass had been
made, discovering the stakes, instituted inqui
ry when the facts, as we have narrated them,
we're developed. The negro, in tribulation,
went to his old master to get advice. DR.. --- =
asked the negro If he had q receipt for the
money? Oh, yes, responded the darkey, and
Immediately produced paper, which read
about as follows Gas Moses lifted up the bra:

such rascality would be entirely superAuous.77-
