Auctioneering the Four in New gland. 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. Tho La Cro-sc (Wis.) Democrat com ments as follow? ; What’s tho use of writing about the poor white poop!e of New England? God cursed thorn with Anglo-Saxon blood I Had those poor wrote has, whose bones are sold to doctors, and wimso lean bowels aro made into ppecula'ions, been black, all over the country, their ease would be presented to tho people for interlorenco.
