In 1853; during debate in the Sem

Mr.. Badger, of North Carolina, de-
elaine very pitifully over the great
wrong that would be done to South
ern men who intended to emigrate TO
Kansas, if they were not permitted to
take their old colorcd "mammys"
along. To which toe late Senator
Wade replied, 1--WE would oppose no
obstacle to taking his old nanny
along with him. We only insist that
he shall not be empowered to sell her
after taking her there"

Shameless Fraud.

The action of the Louisiana author
tiles in prosecuting the returning
board before a defaulting judge, a
packed jury, aud by the aid of perjui ed
witnesses, and then cheating two OF
the jurors out of their honest verdict,
can only excite the disgust of every
honest man, no difference to what par
ty he belongs. 1t is the most shame
less judicial fraud of the century

Web. Wilder, in the st. Joe Herald,
refers to the defalcation of Bancroft
in feeling terms, he having known him
well and long. He also says: No
officer is to be censured for failing TO
learn the facts; it was impossible for
the default to be known officially.
The truth comes out at last through
purchasers of the land-as it did in
the great Texas land swindle report
ed a few months ago. On the other
hand, the State officers are des CRYING
of credit for following up the clue as
soon as they found it."
