How to keep a sufficient Supply of competent labor is an important problem with the sugar planters. All plans that Overlook the comforts and privileges of the labourer will fail. The labourer has As Clear right so suit himself in the selection of Bis surroundings As the planter has before a contract limits him a contract with too Many or unreasonable conditions fails to Boad Van Ageous because it must be forcibly and not heartily carried out. A dissatisfied labourer is an unprofitable one in All cases.

Spragno is As pure a woman As lives and suffered incredibly to keep her Good name and her children s. Conkling pays the highest kind of Eulogy to chief Justice Chase of whom he says " he was one of Tho grandest figures produced in our he says if there was gratitude of Tho commonest kind among the people of the Laud they would Rush to his daughter s Defenso instead of assuming the meanest to be True concerning her.
