The logic Of the Commercial about other prisons
lasshablei II they let murdsrers run al large i
Texas, we must let them % here The "Comner
clai can discover nothing remarkable in the escape
And why2 Because the Commercial has not ex
amlned into the matter. Bat look for moment a
the paltry reward for his arrest! $3.50! Pshaw!
With regard to the assertion that the papers her
contributed to Rector's escape, the Journal 10 to-
sweeping. We believed Rector to be murderer ant
to deserve hanging and we said So Here is our pa
ragraph, Published on Monday the l4th Of May, ant
tits not little singular that not enc of the other pa
pers mentioned the matter ill week afterwards
Whether any in high places wished it hushed up, w
can't say. But there men now in power who
strained every nerve to clear Robinson.
REcToR, THE MuRDERER.-This wretched creature, (ws
Court in session here will decide upos his case in day
upon him TSougS Rnsn..n esc.psd halter
| is no reason why this murderer should.
The authorities here who have to be satisfied or
satisfied, according to the Commercial" have go
first 10 satisfy the public who put them in office
How is it that Gibbs and Wansley, the pirates and
innrderers and other pirates and murderers and ruf
fans Of the deepest and blackest dye have been kept
safely in that very Brdewell. Admitting that there
was no fraud, no connivance, no bribery, Ke any
| thing, but negligence. Are not the "auherities''
liable for their gross, shameful, and cupable care
lessnesS murderer escapes, another may.
Ua.t.I lie ofour police sttice Tour active and
yigiant officers and magistrates wnom none can
bribe-who scorn to take dsllar from any one how
ever wealthy, except in the line of thsir dutyf
But the "Commersial' is so kind and gentle in its
reproof They brain the keeper with ladys fan Fec
tor Drained his unfortunate victim with axe =
"There was perhaps want of due vigilance and pre-
cauton!' Such mawkishness must disgust all think
ing men.
The "Star" is both right and wrong The Jour
nal does not charge the whole city with aiding Rec
tor to escape though it is wrong to charge the papers
with it, for indeed he has been here they main
tanned "dgnified silence" or "sullsn ignorance"
on the subject.
In conclusion, we agree with the Star that tAe
journal editor is honest, energetic, and straight
forward" particularly in thss honestly expressing his
opinion and instead OF sensurc, deserve praise for
doing. He may be wreDg-he may be m error-but
he is honest! and when we think so, we will say
as mach for those who had charge Of Reeter. They
may be honest bat they were most abonnably care
less!
But they have shut the stable door now the horse
is gone and are making amends for past negligence
Rector being est they have arrested his a0ie and
brother on charge Of aiding and abeting his escape!
What wife-what brother, would not have aided, if
they had been allowed7 How csald they aid Tell
ms that, master keepers! Why did you let them aid
hint

he heard this changed his course. and went to Ca
NADIA.
1T We have in our prisons one negro confined for
