A few days ago the Now York Journal
of Commerce said:
It would ho, wo repeat it, more sensible
for the people of New England, who are
given to philanthropy and misanthropy,
(for the lover of the negro slave is the
hater of tho white slave-owner,) if they
would devote some attention to their
home slaveries ami sorrows. There are
agonies in tho poor houses of the North
which humanity might well seek to
go.uho. For ►omn years past those insti
tutions have been neglected, while the at
tention of the people has been turned to
the war; but it is now greatly to he feared
that ol the widows and chiidron of the
fallen soldiers, without other provision,
many must go there. It would be curious
to know tbo rates at which the poor are
now sold in tho Eastern Suites. Can any
one furnish rtatistics of thi market?
The Hartford (Conn.) Times answers
the inquiry:
In Connecticut, the State and town
white poor (in many town.-) are let out to
tho lowest bidders, and we find that the
State poor have been let for $12110 to $2000
a year ; and that tbo towns have let Hour
poor at rates as follows: Newtown, >1000
inhabitants, $000 a year ; last year, owing
to tho high rates of provisions, about $300
extra was paid ; Burkhamstead, K1C0 in
habitants, tno sum of $140 was paid, and
the contractor was Mr. .Mason, of New
Hartford, who also keeps the liarllord
poor Town3 of 1030 t<* 1600 inhabitant-
pay $500 to $000 a year, tno lowest bidder
taking the paupers.
