The State Penitentiary.

| 1t will be remembered that it announced some
| weeks ago that the Committee appointed by the
Legislature to locate the Penitentiary had purchased
5000 acres of land in Chatham county for the pur
pose for 100000 We gratifed to that OBJ
jectious raised to confirming this action of the
committee the ground that it is unnecessary
expenditure, and that the land is not worth one
fourth the amount promised for it.
This Pententiary business is going to be ono of
great expense to the citizens of the State besides
source Of fraud and corruption. The people Of the
State have twice voted against Penitentiary;- but
one is to be built notwithstanding.
writer in the Raleigh Sentinel speaks as follows
Of the action Of the Committee to locate the Peni-
Tertiary:
'.The Committee have bought a sufficient quantity
of land for the Penitentary site-twenty- five
and this being enough for all necessary purposes
their duties, SO far as buying land for the State
ended and the State only be liable for the pay
ment OF what the twenty-five acres cost, provided
there is no fraud about that purchase-but, if any
fraud about it. then the State is not bound.
But not satisfied with enough land, and more than
is necessary, they go off ten miles and make another
purchase of 5000 acres, at the price Of Sl2 so per
acre-Or SlOO, OOO-neary enough to erect half of
the buildings and without the State having use for
1t, or the business of Prnitentary requiring it.
This being the case, we contend that the said pur
chase Of 5000 is null and void, and the State
should not let one dollar 90 towards paying for it.
We are further informed, and believe it to be true
beyond a doubt, that this land would not sell,
auction, for fifty cents per acre; and we are in
formed and believe it to be true, that said tract of
land containing 5000 acres, was never valued as
high as one dollar per acre before the purchase by
the Committee at the lo,c price Of so per acre.
And we Informed and believe it to be true, that
the same tract Of land did not sell as high as one
dollar per acre, when the same procured to be
purchased for the State. about the time the Com
mittee purchased it. We further told and be-
eve it to be true that this tract Of land 5000 acres
has coal it, never had and was never sup
posed TO have, by any one who knows the land. If
all this is trIe, it settles the question about the
States liability, whether there be fraud connected
with the purchase not. Let the investigating
Committee get full transcript from the Registers
otfc., and shen you will see who the owners were,
and what paid for it,

BURIED ALIvE.-Mrs Crane, whose hus-
band is book-keeper in Fleming & Cos. drug
store, New Orleans, died very suddenly last
July OF what was pronounced sunstroke. She
was school teacher in one of the most popular
public schools Her body was inferred the next
day at 10 o'clock, and her mother went home al
most broken-healted. One night recently the
mother, after passing most distressing day fell
asleep late at night and dreamed that her daugh-
ter had been buried alive. She jumped up in
a frantic state and rushed to her son-n-law's
chamber crying "Nly daughter is buried alive
Oh, my daughter is buried alive! What shall l
do?" To sleep any more that night was out of
the question. At length the proposition was
made to have the body disintered, just to satisfy
her. So, early the next morning the grave was
opened and the coffin raised. The body, which
had been placed in metallic coffin, was turned
over, the glass covering the face was broken to
atoms, the ends of the fingers being beaten and
battered all to pieces, the hair torn out in hand
fuls, and the shroud torn in many places.

Reconstruction Matters.

although Georgia has been pronounced recon
sruced and admitted into the Union, an effort is
being made to remand the State to a provisional
condition, because presume, the Legislature de-
cled that, according to the State Constitution ne
groes could not hold Office. A dispatch from Wash
ington states that
Governor Bullock has addressed communion
ton to Congress, representing that the laws of Con-
grcss, under which Georgia would be admitted into
the Union, not fully complied with, and hold
ing that, until such compliance, Georgia's govern
mcnt must remain provisional. The failure lies in
exactng, from officers elected the oath prescribed
by Congress, and administering, instead. that pro-
vided by the Georgia Constitution; which failure to
execute the law Of Congress has resulted in the de-
feat Of the purposes which Congress had in view in
passing these acts, namely: Afordng adequate
protection for life and property, and maintaining
peace good order and the free expression of political
opinions. The Governor states that the wisdom dis
played by Congress in providing that only loyal men
should participate in the establishment Of II provi-
sional government, to be thereafter clothed with
rights and immuntes of q State in the Union, is
made apparent by the consequences arising from
the failure to enforce that legislation, &C."
During tle war Gov. Bullock was considered a
good friend Of the Confedcracy, bu: now he claims
to be superior ley.l that he wants the whole State
Of Georgia rcetiGed on loyal basis!
Il will be by the Congressional proceedings
that 2 billLas been introduced to again reconstruct
Georgia.

THE WHIPPING Posi- IN DELAwARE.-This
ancient institution of our State has been assaled
vigorously by the press within the past month
1t has been denounced in severe terms, and its
abolition urged very earnestly. Our people,
however appear to be somewhat attached to the
CUSTOM and IT'S speedy abrogation is very doubt
full. \ great many persons contend that all
rngues stand in dread of the whipping post. and
hence there is less tlicving and burglary in our
State than in most others. 1t is rare indeed that
robbery occurs on any Of the highways, and
persons travel without fear of injury in BODY or
purse There have been some Expectations in
our CITY. but the thieves most likely came from
Pennsylvania or Maryland, and having secured
their booty, made good their escape If once
caught, the good feeling of the sheriff would
hardly prevent their backs from being well
