Some difficulty arose between him’ and his first wife as to the custody of their child, at that time a boy about ten years old. He would not tell where the boy was, and the motser instituted inquiries which developed the fact that he had been given m care of the Shakers. A writ of habeas corpus was procured on behalf of the mother, and the boy, who now fiieep years of age, was pro- duced yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Barrett. In the return to the writ the Shakers expressed a periect wiillogness to give up the boy. After quite an extended argu- Ment between counsel as to which was the fit custodian of the enild, the father or the mother, Jude Barrett ordered the boy to be placed tem-~ arily in the care of his uncle, Washington J, fhomyson, with leave to make # subsequent mo- = or the appointment of a permanent goar- ry MARINE COURT—PART 1, Before Jaage Joachimsen. VERDICT AGAINST A MARSHAL. Holek vs. Leubuscher et al brought against a City Marshal avd hls bondsmen to recover the value of goods, the contents of @ grocery store, seized and sold under an execuiion against one Schnucker. It seems, according to plaintiffs evidence, that Scinucker owned the place originally, but being in need of funds, he, in the spring of last year, borrowed $350 irom the plaintim, tor which a mortgage on the stock and Oixtures was given, under wirca a sulé supse- quently took place, the plainnd® becoming tue purchaser, and that plaintiiT then employed Schnucker as a clerk to carry on the ousiness, In August the Marshal visited the place, having an execution arainst Scunucker, and, uotwithstand.- ing the tact tpat ne was in‘ormed that Hoick was the owner, seized the stock and sold tt at auction. Defendant's counsel moved lor a dismi the complaint on the giound that a mortgage given upon goods which were constantly bein, Sold and replaced Was 4 nolity, and, theretore, all proceediuus under it void, which motion " denied. The defendants endeavored to snow, by surrounding circumstances, that the mor'gage and sale under it were collusive ana fraudulent as against Schuucker’s crediiors, and uvon that rested their case. The jury rendered a verdict in | plaimtif’s tavor for $100, MARINE COURT—PART 2, Before Judge Gross, JUSTICK TO A PROPERTY OWNER. Solomon Goldsmith vs. Jacob Greenewald.—In the report of this case published on Friday last some mistakes were made reflecting on the char- acter of Mr. Joseph Kohner, a witness and owner of the property, commission for the exchange of which formed the basis of the suit, Mr. Kohner did not tear up the contract without the knowl- | edge of tue broker and without setuing with hiro Mr. Hertz, tae broker, has no ciaim Toe latter Owned the property by and this contract is now in the hands of the piatotifl’s attorney.

In the case of C. F, Holtz agaist Renaud, Francois & Co., the following opinion was rendered by E. L. Fancher, arbitrator:—The dejendants are the importers end sole agents in the United States of a celebrated wine, knowa as Piper Meidsieck champagne. On the 2d October, 1874, they ac- ce, ted, in a letter to the plaintiff of that date, an offer to alow him a specified discount, to be de- ducted irom the statement of sales, tn case & pre- | scribed quantity of the wine was purchased by the plaintiff 1a each six months, aud under the con- dition that the plaintiff’ shoud observe his agree- ment not to sell the wine for less than fourteen per cent discount on the grosa price at which the Same Was sold by the defenaants. The plaintit agreed to these terms, and in a letter to the de- | fendunts accepting the same, uses tris languag “I hereby agree not to sell any for jess than fourteen per cent off of long price.” Sho tly after the arrangement thus made tho —This action was | al of the | viper Beidsieck | piaintif issued a printed eircalar, which was | headed as follows:—“Important to all wholesale wine and liquor dealers in the United States, mn regard fo the future price of the celebrated Piper Heidsieck champagne, imported by Mes#rs.

THE NEGRO AS A LABORER. Cotton Planting and Corn Raising on the Bottoms, THE PEOPLE PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL. Mumpais, March 30, 1875. The reconstructors of Arkansas lave been 100 busy Issuing bonds and scrip and manipulating laws since 1868 fo pay attention Lo Industrial sta tistics. Hence! could get put scant and uncer- tain answers to many questions affecting the real interests of the State. A leading politician could tell me readily enough how many black voters there gre, and why these are more numerous in Proportion to population than white voters, which is because formerly mainiy adult negroes were brought in as slaves, and since the war tie small colored immigration has consisted largely of col- ored men, seeking political and other adventures, But when I asked the same man the more important | Question, how many colored real estate owners the State has, he had not the least idea, I believe Governor Garland means to draw informa'ion of this kind from ‘he sherifts o/ the counties, w00 are algo oiten tax collectors. THE COTTON COUNTRY. Arkansas, as viewed from a railroad car, is nota charming country to @ Northern eye. It contains @ good deal of thin and worthless land, aud where you meet with cultivation the farms havea ragged and uncombed look, the farm buildings are usually of a poor churacter, and very higi fences show tnat stock ts allowed to run wild. Fields are oftenest full of stamps, and in the cotton region “deadenings,” or fields with girdied aud decaytng trees standing upon them, give the landscape a melaxcholy aspect. But, after all, it is useful for a Northern man to remember that déad trees and stumps are more economical than a cleaner culture where lavor is scarce, and that the Arkansas farmer does not need jolid a house as his countryman in New York or Massacuuseits. ‘Though the farms and Plantations of the State have too oiten an unpros- Perous look, the census tables of 1870 disclose tho singular fact that the value of the agricultural procuct of that year im the State equaied the assessed valac of all the farms and plan‘ations, which, ifit i @ correct statement, would make Arkansas one of the richest of our agricuitural States. The State ts divided by natural confivuration into two sections, the south and east producing mainly corn end cotton; the nortn and north. west, which is mountasnous, yleiding wheat and otner grains, In the latver part tLere are but lew colored people, and here, during the war, were fouud Union men, who tought tor the old fag, either a8 volunteers or guerillas, The richest and most productive lands of the State are, of course, the river bottoms, aud here are found the most cvlored people. The Arkansas negro preiers, it seems, 10 raise corn and cotton; be suffers less from malaria than the white, and he jikes the bottom lands, NEGRO PROPERTY OWNERS. Of the forty thousand negro voters in the State it ts believed that at least one in twenty owns either a farm or ® house and lot in atown, This would give but two thousand such independent landholders—a small number, but yet» beginning, showing that even amid the intense and incessant political turmot! of the last seven years a part of the colored men bave been persisten'ly maustrious andeconomical, In that part of the cotton country which Lsaw I bearo ofa number of negroes who had bongh¢ farms, and not uncommonly a manager or Planter would say, ‘There's Jim; he’s going to buy land next year if this crop turns out ue"? In one negro cabin the woman told me ber hus- band lost $600 in the Freedman’s Bank, and seemed delightea when the planter told ner sno would probaoly get back a smail sun. 1 was shown @ black man who bonght a farm of eighty acres last year—all cleared cotton land—‘or $4,009, paying $700 down. On the ri mainder ho was to pay ten per cent interest, ana the planter who sod it to him told me be would make it all safely out of the farm. Tois felloy bad genuine energy, for he employed other hegroes to cultivate his own farm, and himself worked filty acres of rented land, “He gets more out of nis peop'e than could,” said the planter to me; “he'll hire some women and get a man’s work out of every one of them.” NEGRO RENTERS. The usual manner of working the cotton lands is to let them etiner on shares or for a fixed price per acre, Some planters have their laborers by the month or year, but it is not thought a proft- able plan, and, | believe, it is not so well liked ny the negroes, The ri b bottom lands are worth from $30 to $50 dollars per acre, according to location and cond.tion, Where land is it for a share of the crop the renter usually pays t owner from eighty to ninety pounds of clean cot- ton per acre. I! he hus good luck he can raise 400 pounds to the acre, and ne aims to get also corn enough for himself and bis stock. In such case the owner gins all the cotton, and he supplies, besides the land, fencing, flrewood, @ house, which, even if very ood, will not cost more than $250, and olten is @ mere log cabin, and range for stock. The renter must have his own teams and tools, ana must pay for extra labor for picking for him, if ne needs it, For twelve acres he ought to have a mule, plougn, boes and seed; and he may get eight bales of cot- ton, of which two would go for rent, and the net Temuinder would be worth $300, beside the value of niscorn. The planter or landowner asually ex- pects to make his people advances of food and ciotnin, nd i is evident, from what I have seen and heard, that toe greater number of the people are carciesa and do not lay up money. ‘That they can, however, is shown by many In- ances, Where @ planter hires laborers colored men re- ceive from $15 to $18 a month and board, or $i a day if they feed themselves, Women, employed in hoetng cotton, receive as much as meu, If they do a full day’s work, Icouid not learn that any difference in wages is made by reason of color; but megro laborers are thought to be more peacvable and move easily provided for than whites. General Cuurchill, now State Treasurer, told me that some of his former slaves Were still on nis plautation renters. Several Managed forty or fiity acres eacn. He found no diMiculty in collecting his dues from them, and liked them as renters. Bot he remarked to me that the young colored people do not farm £0 weil as their fathers, and more of them seek some other employment, The favorite method, I think, is to rent cotton land for & fixed price per acre, usually from $6 to $10, the owner ginning the cotton im the latter case, Tie negroes uvually use the labor of their women and children in the Selds, and a man takes more or loss land according to the Dumber oO! Lis family. Ifa renter takes fifty acres at $3 bis account in aM average year would stand somewhat thus:—Thirty acres in cotton would gin twenty- five bales, worth $1,300, Of this he would pay out $400 rent, and probably $150 for exira labor in picking, &c., and would bave leit $750 cash and twenty acies of corn as food for bis family and stock, Suoh resntts not only satisfy the negro, but they even tempt white men to come in from the less fertile uplands, and on some plantations there ai Swirs and Germans, who, as a rule, become prow perous, I am told, ‘The planter keeps on the place a store at which renters may buy their supplies where they get m moderate credit, He aiso ki grist mill, for the use of which he makes 1 year’s rent out of the first of the crop. In practice, furthermore, the planter Ande it necessary to ride ————————— Galty through nis fleias to see that the renters are @t work and to vid them with bis advice. Daring the winter be hires tiem to chop wood tor bis own use, and to split rails and keep up the fences, Ali the plantations bave a quantity of unused Woodland, in which stock roams at large, and this is free to the renters, It 16 @ wasteful and wretohed way tu keep s!ock, and one result of 16 Jou see in the steers which are used to draw woud juco Little Rock, some of which are nos much bigger than @ goud--ized Newloundland dog. I¢ makes troubles too abouts hogs. The hog is tn Arkansas what the umbrella is in New York—tne prey of the first man wno needs it. Pork is called “ear,” and when your planter frisod explaing to you that de has to buy all hia meat, he wtil add that “the negroes will steal nogs—you can’t keep @ hog adout Lhe place.” 3 PLANTATION LIFE, The cabins of the renters, white as well as black, are usually pretty cheericss affairs, and there are tow signs of @ dosiro for tasieiul or even orderly surroundin: But ta this respect the planter's own home surroundings are usually but little in advance oi his tenants. Here aud the e you fud @ man who keepsa kitchen garden; but most of the people have chickens; a forenanded negro will own some cows, and they all buy coffee, sugar, molasses and Wheaten flour, which last they pree Jer to corn meal. A plantation store which T examined was preity thorough'y supplied not only with dry goods and groceries bus with furniture, Svddies, Cooking stoves and all kinds of kitchen and stabieware, of the piainer sorts of course, A placard announced “Scotch snuit,? and to my inquiry tne storekeeper told me that many of the women, white as weil as black, use tt in the way calied ‘ dipping.” 1 was sorry to discover that at some of the plantation stores whiskey 1s sold to the renters, On one of the plantations 1 was told that negro renters are preferted Lecuuse they aro easisr to geton with, and less apt to grumble and find fault than native whites; und I judge, from all I heard, that the negroes are quite economical and abt to buy iand ont of their savings as the poorer class of whites who become renters, Cotton picking, whicn, it used to be said, could never be satisfactorily done with free labor, because It requires the concentr ition of so muck labor at @ certain time, is, it seems, better done now than ever under the slave system. In the picking season women and children gather upon the plantations from towns and villiges, and irom all the surrounding uplands; and as they are well paid, and by the hundred weight, the work ta quickly and well done. *“Duiing slave umes we never got througa picking so early, or saved the whole crop in such good order as now,” said a planter to me; “sometimes the cotton was not all gatnered before March, and now the ficlds are usually stripped clean velore frost comes.” Every neighbo hovd has a church and school for the colgred people, and usually also a school for the white children. On Sunday the women go to ehurch tn bright dresses, and this is a great occa. sion, The colored preachers are usually renters, and I imagine they alav have some political influs ence among their people, Political meetings are held in the churches, PEACE AND PROSPERITY. To conclude. Wherever I met cnlio-ed people they seemed comiortable and at ease, and I neither Baw nor heard the least evidence that they are regarded by (be whites otherwise than 48 an lntegral and important part of the populae tion, They appear to me to have withstood, very creditably, the demoralizing influences of poltticat junketing barbecues and excitement incident to the earlier years of reconstruction. On the plantas tions walle and colorea renters seem to hold like Telations to the owners of the land. Cotton land is atill so abundant that there is no diMculty im buying it in sfich quantities as laboring men, white or Diack, want. In Little Rock negro police men are seen aa frequently as white, and in the State House and elsewhere in government offices lsaw them employed. Arkansas 1s at peace. The condition of parties makes proscription for op:nion’s sake impossible, for neither party can afford to sacrifice adnereats, ‘There is the best evidence that industry nas ree vived ail over the State, that the people of both parties stronuly desire peace and order, and that the cessation of federal interierence has removed the only cause of disorder by throwing the polltl+ cians om their own-responsibility and leaving the people to control their own local affairs and to remedy abuses at the poils, which beiore toey were unable to cure or remove by Jawfal means, and were therefore tempted to resort to the sho: gun and the revolver, “In my country,” said an Arkansan to me, “tne County Clerk and Coilector of Taxes were appointed by the Governor, They were not citizens of the connty,@ but stranger they wasted the taxes; issuea scrip to a heavy amount and stole that; gave us neither improvements nor good maoagement, and we hid no appeal no way, Qt elections or in any other method, of ridding ourseives of them, Taxes went up to seven per cent on aligh valaation, What should dor One of those scoundrels was shot and the other ran away. And then came @ howl of political ostracism and persecution of Union men, But now we can protect ourselves at the polls, and we will keep the peace.” The public debt of Arkansas ts very great, and its managemeut is (ull of diMcalties for tho pres ent, But the natural wealth o/ the State Is large, too. It is now under the rule of honest men, and the peop’s, individually, owe less in proportion ta thele property than ever belore in tne history of the State. Their prospects, there.ore, are tavora+ bie, and @ good crop this your will, rybody ‘sninks, make taem prosperous. CHARLES NORDHOFF, CHIEF JUSTICE COOKBURN.
