In a book of Judge Johnson, of South Carolina, a story is told, intended to illustrate the bargaining and avaricious traits of New England money-lovers, which, with some modifications, We may apply with equal justice to our own extortioners and speculators.

"After paying to each man his money, I locked up my New purchases in a safe room, telling them that in a few days the Devil would visit them for inspection, in order to identify them upon the conclusion of peace with the United States. The rogues where in high spirits, conscious of the intrinsic worthlessness of the property they had transferred, and confident that if the Devil waited till the end of the war for the consummation of the contract, it would be long enough, in all reason, for their purposes.--they remained in their prison very busily engaged in speculating and trading with each other, and I was informed that by night there was not a single one of them who had not made a small fortune by his speculations.
