mgxco,s SYSTEM OF PEoNAoE
Contrary to Law, but Carried on without
MOIcstation.

A system Of pconage or slavery IS eX-

WORKINGS are novel and interesting
The slaves nearly all come from the
middle class Of Spaniards, and are not
Indians. as is generally supposed. Inc
usual custom is for a family who may
have b0v 10 or u years Of age to take
the child 70 some plantation-oWner or
family Of the first-class and propose thaI
it shall take a position as servant on
condition that an advance OF $40 or 80
is made to the parents. The contract
also generally stipulates that the child
shall receive d certain amount as wages,
and that the sum shall be placed TO its
credit until the money advanced has
been paid, when the child VIII again be
free. As the child grows older and be
comes able to earn more money It's par
ents 50 il happens in nearly every case,
apply for more money, thus ping up
the debt. When the child becomes Of
age it generally asks for money tor It's
own personal use, and thus bound to its
master it must continue in slavery I'M
til the debt is paid.

will. but he must have a written state
ment Of his debts from his first owner,
which is accepted by his new master,
should one be found who IS willing to
advance the amount. If any attempt
to escape paying his debts is made by
the slave he is carried to jail and pun
ishcd until he is willing to take up the
yoke again. This system Of slavery If
contrary to the statute law OF the coun-
try, but it has been in operation so long
that IN THE part Of the Republic it Is
carried on EithOu mOleStatiOn.
Owing to the ignorance of the middle
classes, it is seldom that slave be
comes acquainted with his natura
rights, and there are very few cases OF
rebellion One of these eXceptlOna
cases recently occurred in the City Of
San Cristobal, in this State, the slave
being a young woman who was the
property Of a family to whom she Owec
large debt. A prominent army officer
stationed in that city at the time, be
came enamOred of the girl. He in
formed her what her rights were under
the law, and she lost no time in leaving
the family, without taking any state
ment Of the debt or attempting to fine
another master. Owing to the intlu
ence Of the army officer all efforts 0.
the family to have her arrested anC
punished were unsuccessful.-PhI

Wits body was found with q butcher
knife nearly foot long sticking in his

pull II out, but could not. A small line
was fastened to the knife, but still it
could not be withdrawn, and it was not
until loop was made in the rope and
a strong stick passed through it with
two men pulling ut it that the knife
was finally extriCated. The knife had
passed through the breast bone, and had
imbedded an inch deep in the vertebra.
There was no actual eyewitness to.the
killing. Suspicion attaches to negro
named Nose johnson, with whom Pugh
had a difficulty early in the day.
