keeper visited the cell, he found that the man was
dead Coroner Gamble held an inquest on the body,
but no evidence was taken which went TO show the
name CT residence of the deceased A postmortem
examination was made by Dr. Beach, which revealed
the fact that death was the result of disease of the
liver. portion oftbe clothing worn by deceased was
marked CT. II. GiIett Hs was about 10 years Of
age and respectfully dressed. Why was this man
thrust into cell and left to die? This is the second
case of similar character At the prison within
couple ofmonths. Why do lot the Governors OF the

charge direct these careless keepers TO summon ply
sician in all where the prisoners are too drunk CT
too sick 10 tell what ais them. COroners Jures have
required this of them repeatedly Perhaps the Grand
Jury may compel respectful attention TO public
opinion and the claims of humanity at their hands,

On the Road 10 Charleston

The correspondent Of the New Orleans Pic
ayua<, writes Oh hisway to the Charleston Con-
yention as follows:
Last night, in changing c1rs, at Chattanooga,
the passengers we're thrown more together,
when it was discovered we had on board upart
Of the Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, and Illinois delegations 4 parley was
soon opened and tue delegates went to work
comparing notes with each other. the Illinois
delegation mastering very strong, aud being
ANXIOUS to ieel the pulse Of the Southern boys.
II gradually developed that illinois considered
Douglas the only availab'enlan who could carry
the great Northwest.
Mississippi then made IN attack on Nj. Doug
lass popular sovereignty doctrine, declaring
that the South could not rote for him on this
ground. Illinois contended that this vas only
Southern constructions; that Mr. Douglas Was as
and TINT they we're wiling to adopt the Cincin-
nnti platform with the Dred Scott decision tack
ed on to it, and 60 IN to this issue. Mississippi
desired to know what interest Illinois had at
stake io making this plntsorm aside from the
"spoils,' while, with hre.cating el'queuce, he
showed that the South had two thousand mil
lions Of slave property at stake, besides the
safety Of their hearthstones aud 6resides. This
rather staggered Illinois, who evidently VAS los
ing ground III the contest, and thought il more
prudent 10 mike M armistice, by admitting that
If Sir. Dousas could not be nominated, they
were willing to 60 for any Souther man. The
most cordial good humor prevailed, aud all the
delegates in = body went to the Trout House, on
our arrival here, and at the dinner table wine
flowed like water, they made right merry
time oft, all the delegates Of the States repre-
sented giving most loyal andsconservatire Union
sentiments.
