us that the South was longing for the old
system or negro slavery. So far from that
being true, they are all glad to have rot rid
of it. The planters told me that they could
culture their fields with less expense under
the new system than the old. \ gentle
man who had one hundred and twenty-five
slaves before the war told me that the
clothing and feeding of them, the taking
care of thc aged who could not work, and
the provision for helpless cOOrCd chill

hauShon. Now the planters have nothing

the families look after their own inyalids

southern States the question should now
