A high-born white man, the Attorney General, now occupies the same chair which this colored member vacated.
Mr.C.was formerly attorney for several estates, is now agent for a number of them, and also a magistrate.
He remarked, that since emancipation the nocturnal disorders and quarrels in the negro villages, which were incessant during slavery, had nearly ceased.

He had frequently given his gang jobs, instead of paying them by the day.

This had proved a gear stimulant to industry, and the work of the estate was performed so much quicker by this plan that it was less expensive than daily wages.

When they had jobs given them, they would sometimes go to work by three o'clock in the morning, and work by moonlight.
