THE DISAPPEARANCE OF GOLD
WATCHES

The reports of the Federal ta1-gatherers
have developed the fact that only about one
person in FIVE thousand in this country are in
possession Of golden lime-keeper This
is altogether at variance with the statistics
of the jewellers and watch-makers of the
country. The South, hitherto opulent in
this species of property, is poor indeed
Massachusetts presents the beggarly array
of nine gold watches of more than 500
value and thirty-eight of less. Everybody
knows that BUTLER took ten times both
numbers from the Southern people. The
great State of Ohio can only ac-
count for forty-six, all told, of all val
ues, and yet there are more than two
thousand worn in one Of her cities; and so of
other States North. Even Tennessee has one
hundred times as many as Vermont, and fifty
times as many as Illinois, and three hundred
times as many as Michigan-while such
States as Rhode Island, Connecticut, Della
ware, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and a
number of the Territories, have none at all
The only State cup to time" is Missouri,
which has about onc-fourth of the whole
number in the Union. The poverty Of the
South in this article is easily accounted for;
but the rest needs 4 Committee of Investi-

THE NEW PENrTExTIARY LAW.

BY an act passed on the 18th inst, an i'm
portant change has been wrought in the
management of the State prison. From the
establishment of the penal code under the
Constitution Of 1884, il has been exclusively
a State institution-the burden of its man
agement devolving upon, and the profits
from the labor of convicts accruing to the
treasury Of the State.
The present law provides for the appoint
ment Of three Directors, TO serve for two
years, at a salary Of 81, 900 each, annually,
with bonds for the faithful performance Of
their duties, and the usual oath of office.
They are invested with the general superin-
tendency of the prison, with power to APP
point Warden at a salary of 81 800 per
annum, residence and rations furnished; a
Steward, at a salary of 81, 500 per annum; a
Physician, at a salary of 81 500 per annum;
a Chaplain, at a salary Of 81 900 per an
mum. The duties of the officers are defined
by the law.
The Directors are also empowered to lease,
after thirty days publication for sealed pro-
posals, the shops, machinery, fixtures and
material, together with the labor of all the
convicts except those necessary G. to keep up

bids for conviot labor are to be so much PEI

The lease is to extend four years, the lessee

The Directors in behalf of the State are re
quired TO furnish food, clothing quarters
&c, &c, for the convicts, and to establish
rules and regulations for their government
and conduct and to appoint turkeys anC

victs.
They are also directed tG make settle

| TEN.
In the main the law is good one, though
perhaps not perfect in its details. Under
State management it has always been a bur.
den to the treasury, but if placed in the pro.
per hands we have no doubt that the labor
can be made more remunerative, and that
the expense Of its management will be more
than paid by the proceeds of the lease.
The Directors are SAMUEL L. HARE

WE have a well written communication
from Belfast, Tennessee, calling attention to
the fact, that the Southern dead on the bat
tie fields of Tennessee especially that of
Shiloh, are being sadly neglected. 1t is an
eloquent tributeto thememory ofthese SEEM
ingly forgotten braves, and an appeal for an
united effort on the part of their friends
and those who sympathized with the cause
in which they fell, to adopt measures to
properly renter their remains. Our cor
respondent argues that they are excluded
from the care which the Government pays
to the relies of the Federal dead, and that
this sacred duty devolves upon the people of
the State in their capacity as individuals, or
in associations for the purpose.
We concur fully in his suggestions and Sc
oond the noble appeal which he makes. HUI
mainly pleads for it, and Justice approves it,
and there can be no objection to move
ments looking to the object in view from
any thing deserving the name Of man. To
noble minds the grave buries resentments,
and Christian attentions and courtesies TO

that early and thorough steps may be taken
to proceed in this proper work, and will lend
all the assistance in our power to accom-

Our COURT HOUSE.

More than ten years has elapsed since the
disastrous fire which consumed our county
court house. The County Court, with COM
mendable promptitude, erected the present
structure on the old site. 1t is building
sufficiently connections for the purpose for
which it is designed, though not gem OF
architectural taste and skill. This, by the
way, however. 1t was used AZ a barracks
during the war, and sustained considerable
DETACHMENT. 1t is sadly in need of repair
and general renovation. Itnow presents an
unseemly appearance, both as regards the
building and the grounds. 1t is the duty
of the Court TO refit the building, and en-
close the grounds with handsome stone
fence and iron railing. In fact, they should
appropriate a sufficient sum to engage the
services Of a competent person to make the
court house and its surroundings an orna-
ment to the Public Square. It is now
sight to shame every citizen who feels
proper pride in such matters. We trust the
County Commissioners will move promptly
in this matter.
