The Pcnitentiary.

From letter written by Charles H. Test, Esq,
and published in the Newcastle Courier, giving an
account of visit of the writer the Peniten-
tary of the State at Jacksonville, we make the fol-
lowing extract. The subject should attract the spe-
cial attention of the next Legislature.
''More than half the prisoners were out under the
guard of armed men, at work upon the prison.
The PenItentary being erected is vast improve
ment upon the old. In fact the one at present
pied is disgrace to the State. The enclosure is a
contracted one, the cells small, and without air. do
not know how its inmates exist confined as they
are during the night within their close and arless
dens. 1t is absolute inhumanity. The new prison
encloses of some four five acres of ground
the prison houses far more spacious ard the cells
much larger and airy. Its construction is esti-
mated to cost about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars
''But our whole Pententiary system is wrong. II
Is farmed out to those who viii give most for the la
Dor of the conycts. Of 1t is the interest OF
the purchaser to keep the inmates at work whether
sick we'll Nor does the system to the con-
vct even comfortable clothing. Truth compels me to
say that at this time good understanding exists be-
tween the keeper and the clerk of the establishment
The clerk is also the physician of the prison. The
latter declares that certain convcts not sufficient
Iy clad, and without shoes, in consequence Of
which they have become sick and unable to labor
The keeper the contrary contends that the doctor is
credulous to the complaints of the Prisoners and
suffers himself to be imposed upon. will not pre-
tend to decide who is in the right but such difficult
ties furnish conclusive evidence that the system in IL
self is wrong. Confinement in a well conducted State
prison is the proper mode of punishment to the guilty
who by their crimes have rendered themselves unfit
ted for society but humanity dictates that system
should not be adopted calculated to murder them by
inches nor at the time preclude all hope of
! reformation In the party punished"

obtaining money under false pretences. released
on Friday last, Carow having obtained the money he
claimed, and left the city Peepaugh remained here
until Sunday night and still declared as he had done
at FIRST that the charge of Carow untrue. There
is one circumstance not very favorable to Carow. On
his journey hither, he called his name Simpson; al
the Palmer House, he registered il f. Sin,ons bot
when addressed afterwards m this way, said it was
Simpson. In his affidavit he subscribed himself as
Henry Simpson Carow. 1t is hard case altogether
A kind Of sort of game of 50 heads win, talk

about this time, to the comparative honesty of the
parties.

The crowded state of our columns forbids US giving
more than outline of the terrible confagration
which occurred in New York, On Saturday, the 18th
of July. The fire commenced in packing box max
ers shop on New street Just the flames were be-
ing partially subdued three tremendous explosions
occurred in an adjoining warehouse, which blew up
several buildings, destroyed several lives, and forced
the flames in every direction. The fire then ragged
through Broad St, New ST., Broadway, Whitehall,
Beaver, Marketfeld, Stone and South William sts.,
and Exchange Place, destroying on the streets, 26S
buildings. and including back buildings, 80. esti-
mated by the reporters The total loss is estimated
at five TO six millions of dollars.
From the report of the Chief Engineer, il would
seem that large quantity of powder was the cause
OF the explosion. The owners of the store deny it,
as of course they would; for any who would vo-
late the law, thereby endangering the lives of the
community, merely for the sake of gain, would do
nothing else. The store in question also contained
large amount of saltpetre. The number of those
known be killed is fve though it is rumored that
at least twenty-five are missing.

and for copy of which we are indebted TO the Boston

country should be free. We are part of those men.
We acknowledge and support their views and their
acts with our money and our lives. We part of
those who assembled on that memorable day. We

them; when the green flag is torn down from the
Irish mast in Cork harbor, it sharpsns resolve

ENGLISH PENNY PosrAGE SYsTENi.-The Times of
the 18th of last month"; gives the following encourag-
ing facts touching the Penny Postage System:
The Post O6ice.-From return recently issued by
order of Parliament, appears that in the month end
ing 10th of June, 1910, 3.665,l93 letters passed
through the London General Post Office, iuwards and
outwards in the month ending 18th Of June, 1871
the number 5,342, 669; In that ending 18th Of
june 1872 it amounted to 5, 1888 $50 in that ending
18th of june 1913, 5907 .55I; ia the month end
ing 18th of June, 1914, to 6,202, 3S9; and in the
month ending the 18th ult, to 6,906, $751; The es-
timated average for four weeks in 1889, from the
London district post, ,02l 1856; whilst for the
month ending the 18th ult, it amounted TO 2 AL
ITO. The net revenue of the post Office of the united
kingdom in the year ending 9th of January, 1889,
amounted to 1914 1881. in the year ending 9th of
January, 1874, to 523, Ill., and in the year ending
9th Of January 1915, to 6l0, 724. 1t is hence man.
fest that the revenue Of the post Office department is
gradually recovering from the encouragement given
to it (for tme) by the reduction of the charge to
penny per letter. The lowest net revenue received
since the adoption Of the "penny" system was that
received in the year ending 9th Of January, 1e4f,

been committed for murder, but the evidence went
clearly TO establish the deed to be mansaughter, in
asmuch as 1t done in sudden heat and without
malice aforethought. The Attorney for the Common
wealth waived the prosecution for MURDER but quoted
British authorities to show that she might be convict

The counsel for the accused arose, and in the most
solemn manner, asked the court if it a thing

ANEcDoTE OF GENERAL JAcksoN-A Washington
correspondent of the Boston Post relates the follow
ihg anecdote of Gen. Jackson
''In the winter of 1882, President Jackson con-
ferred the mission to Russia upon justly distinguish
ed son of Pennsylvania. Before the newly appointed
minister, however, had departed his mission he
deemed it due to the President to ask his counsel in
reference the selection of secretary of legation.
The President declined all Interference and remarked
to the minister that the United States government
would hold him responsible for the manner in which
he discharged his duties, and that he would conse-
quently be at liberty to choose his secretary.
The minister returned his respectful acknow ledgment
but before taking final leave, s)ught his especial
advice in regard to young gentleman then in the
service of the State department, and who highly
recommended by the (then) secretary Gen. Jack
son promptly said, d advise you, sir, not to take the
man, he as not a good Judge Of preaching.' The
minister seemed puzzled and observed that the obec
ton needed explanation.
"'I am able to give it, said the old hero, and he
thus continued 'On last Sabbath morning attended
divine service in the Methodist Episcopal Church in
this city, There | listened to a sou-inspring SER
mon by Professor Durbin, of Carlisle one of the abb
lest pulpit orators in America. Seated IN pew near

attentive listener. On the day following he came
INTO this chamber business when had the curios-
ty to ask his opinion of the and the preacher,
And what think you, sir, the young upstart, with
consummate assurance, pronounced that sermon all
froth, and Professor Durbin a hdmbug took the
liberty of saying to him-ay you7,g man you are a
humbug yourself. and don't know 1t. And now, con-
tnued the venerable old man, his eye lighted up with
intense animation rest assured my dear sir, that
who is not better Judge approaching than that,
is unfit to be your companion. And besides, he add
ed IF the prodigy the secretary State repre-
sents him to be- he would be less anxious to confer his
services upon you-he would rather be anxious to
tain them HIMSELF The Presidents advice of
course, followed by the ambassador, and the young
mans subsequent career of vice and folly proved that
the generals estimate of his character albeit founded
upon commonplace incident, was substantially
correct"
