STATE REFORM SCHOOL.

- 'N tS
State Reform School, an institution for juvenile
offenders contemplating not so much their punish
ment as their reform. The measure cannot fail to
meet the hearty approval Of all the intelligent and
humane citizens of our State. The institution
will take the youthful offenders against law and
morality from the prisons in which they are now
incarnated with old hardened offenders, and
present them with strong inducements to form
correct habits aud maintain good characters. The
outline Of the law is presented in the accompany
ing extract from an article in the Ohio S. Journal.
The law oppropriates $4,000 annually to the
city of Cincinnati, for which they are to keep
one hundred boys, being those Of the worst class
of Juvenile offenders. Five thousand dollars is
also appropriated to the same city for the support
and safe keeping Of Fifty girls and FIVE thousan l
dollars is appropriated to the sam city for the
erection of u temporary place of confinement for
the Fifty girls. These places are designated for the
safe keeping Of the most depraved and vicious
classes of young persons.
Another provision of the bill appro PIRATES Fl.
teen thousand dollars for the purchase, in some
favorable locality, of one thousand acres Of land
for a Farm, and ten thousand dollars, for the cree
ton of buildings, the purchase Of agricultural i'm
plemenls, and other necessary articles. 1t is not
proposed to build one large building upon this
farm, fo- the accommodation OF the persons sent
there, but the plan is to build several small houses
in which the persons on the farm shall live in plain
dwelling house style the purpose being not 70
give it the appearance Of q Farm Prison, but OF n
Farm School. This Farm School is designed for
the accommodation of the better class OF juvenile
offenders. They are, of course, to be under a
proper discipline, and will be made to work, and
will have instilled into them the habits u indus
try and cleanliness, and the principles Of religion
and virtue.
Inducements will be held out 10 the inmates OF
the institutions at Cincinnati, by which they may
be released from their confinement and sent to tho
farm. All such is behave themselves well, ana
give unmistakable evidence of having reformed,
will be promoted to the farm, while those who
are sent to the fnrm in the first place, and who
continue in their vicious practices, and become
unruly and violate the regulations Of the farm,
will be sent to the institution in Cincinnati. So
by having the two places of different grades, one
will serve as an incentive to good behaviour, and
the other as u terror to him who docth evil.
ANOTHER WHITE Mans PARTY.-Last week We
published the claims set up by some Of the Re
publican press to the name and character of the
white Mans party" The Democratic party is
setting up a rival claim to this honor. The fol-
lowing from the Citizen Democrat, is altogether in
the vein of the New York Evening Post and it,
conductors. 1t maintains also that Judge fancy
was ntirely right in deciding that the constitution
was exclusively a white mans constitution, and
that our fathers are to be honoied for making il
such. Itsays:
Just lay aside the blind fanaticism Of the hour
and recur to the history of every State in the I'm
ion, North and South, and see how many Their,
are who have heretofore, and how many do now
contine the rights and privileges, as we'll as dutie'

s clause in the Constitution of the United States
which makes citizens of any other class. Th
