they should be under the entire control
of the Warden with advice Of the Gov
ernOr ut such times as he may deem II
necessary TO pToffer the same He has
charge Of some seven hundred con
yicts, and any authority, must, to a Ger
tain extent, conflict with his duties as
relates to said coLV,cts. The discipline
OF the prison must, as a necessity. be
under the Warden's supervision. and
for this he IS responsible. If one officer
has command over the convicts, and
another over the rebel prisoners; both
being confined during the night in the
same cell blocks and at all times dll-
ring the day, there is great danger OF
collision, and there may be instances
where 1t is difficult TO tell the exact
point where the duty Of one begins and
the other ends The adage, One poor
general Is better than two good ones,
will hold good in most cases. For the
safety of State prisons, as well as for
the success of our army, there'must be
an undisputed authority and an indi-
vidual responsibility.
