gestion.
1t appears that our three State Prisons, at
Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton, are crowded
with couvicts beyond the capacity of these
buildings to accommodate them with any
regard to discipline, comfort or morality.
The Prison Inspectors have been endeavoring
to improve this state of things by transferring
prisoners from one institution to another, but
this does not seem to have any effect, because
the increase of convicts throughout the State
Is in greater ratio than the capacity of the
prisons to hold them. The Committee on
State Prisons in the last Legislature repre-
scented these facts in their report, and recon-
mended some change in the prison system to
meet the difficulty. Governor Hoffman, in
message which he sent to the Legislature at
that time, suggested as q remedy for this evil
that new reformatory prison should be built.
He did not favor making any additions to the
present establishments, but that an entirely
new structure should be erected at some loca-
ton in the State and conducted on principle
designed to reform as well as to punish crimi-
mails. It would appear that the time has come
when the Governors suggestion should be
adopted. If the authority of law cannot sue
coed in restraining crime, then it is evident
that we must provide for the safe keeping Of
the criminals. As affairs stand now In the
different State Prisons the provisions are
wholly inadequate. We hope, then, that the
Legislature, which is soon to assemble at
Albany, viii give early attention to this matter.

The Charter Election and the Politicians.
A great deal Of the excitement over the
coming charter election arises from the tri-
umphant position in which the democratic
party finds itself for the first time after the
lapse Of some seventeen years. A long inter-
val this for a powerful party to be in the
minority in the legislative halls Of the State,
controlling at the same time, as it did. large
majorities in their own stronghold, the city.
But the usual fate has at last overcome the
dominant party and the republicans, in the
moment Of false security, are now in their
turn compelled to take back seat. The
Tammany Regency having carried the State
in November last, and with the ex-grand high
Sachem Of the party In the executive chair
and majority in both chambers Of the Legis-
lature, it will go hard with them if they do
not "better the example" set them by the
ousted republicans in making the political
change Of base severely felt as soon as the ses-
sion opens.
The place-hunters Of the party, swelled by
the late victory into countless numbers, are
already in full cry after the spols. With
many of the candidates for Justices and Alder
men and Assistant Aldermen their running
after these Offices is only pretence to bring
them into some notoriety-so much as will
give them fair excuse to 60 to Albany and
renew their claims for the vacancies they
anticipate will follow from general
decapitation Of republican ofiice-holders in the
several departments of the city government.
The astute chief of the Tammany Regency,
Mr.. Sweeny, is perfectly aware of this particular
phase of the political excitement, but it gives
him no uneasiness. His policy just now is
mastery inactivity, leaving the fight going
on between the contestants to develop the
strongest mon for the offices to be filed. The
chiefs of the party are rather engaged in con-
sulting together upon the policy they shall
pursue when, clothed with their newly acquired
power, they are assembled in the halls of the
Legislature in Albany, than in paying the
slightest attention as to how the contest for
petty Offices wages here in the city.
The political horoscope from the Tammany
standpoint is aglow with the signs Of success
to the party, not only as regards the control
ling power in the State, which is already
assured, but of most promising field for
their operations in the coming Presidential
contest. The whole policy Of the Regency
will be regulated by the course 1t may de-
ternline on in its efforts to attain the higher
goal Of its ambition-supremacy in the national
democratic councils preliminary to the opening
Of the campaign Of 1872; and to this end all
minor questions Of city and State politics will
be subordnated. The new career upon viii oh
Tammany is now entering is pregnant with
important events, politically and socially,
which the future only can mature or develop,
and on the result the Tammany Regency and
the democratic party must stand or fall.

The Industrial Situation and "Strikes' in
France.

The Industrial Situation and "Strikes" IN
France.
By telegram from Paris, through the Allan
tic cable, we learn that French troops were
despatched yesterday to the Department Of
Tarn, under orders ito quell disturbances
there" The town OF Abby, to which the SOL
diers marched directly, is the seat Of the extern
sive cotton and woollen manufactures centred
in the southwestern portion of the empire; so
it is fair to presume that the disturbances"
have originated in some industrial combination
or trade ''strike" undertaken with the view Of
obtaining an advance Of wages, the shortening
of the hours of labor, or a Encouragement OF the
existing relations between the employers and
operatives. In every other producing
country in the world except France all
this is Of such everyday occurrence that
it is regarded as quite a natural, legitimate
result of labor and speculative enterprise
and easily settled between the parties inter-
ested. In France it is quite different. There
the government undertakes to look after every
thing, and to the government "strikes' are
dangerous. Hence do we find the military
employed Immediately, and hence shall we
hear, perhaps, as in the late instances Of the
coal miners and some other organized oppo-
sition to their interference, that the military
fred upon the people and that the ''disturb-
ances subsidized" disturbances" as they
are classed in France, which originate In
rightful, if even not exactly legal, demand
for more bread for the workingmen's families
and are forced to ''subside" in the smoke Of
military fire, are not quelled. The cause
remains, and the feeling cankers towards gan
creme. A radical cure must then be had but
the cure may come from either side-from the
people as well as from the Executive.

DWELLING Burned The dwelling of Rev.
wv I. West, near Jefferson in Marion enun.
ty, was burned on Saturday the Goth inst.,
ut o'clock P n. Mrs. West had had n fire
in Tie yard during the forenoon, and wishing
tn build one n the house, took brand from
. aho fire for that purpose. She supposed that
in passing the corner of tho wood house,
where a quantity of dry messy wood was
$ piled, sumo tire must have blown into this
wood, aud, communicating with comhustible
matten passed under the dwelling and
through the ilonr of an anoecupied room,--
The frst intimation Mrs W. had of the fire
was upon opening ;he door Of this room,
which was filled with smoke, Some neigh
hor. near by rendered what assistance was
in their pawar, and saved small portion of
the houseAnld effects, including u large por.
lion of the bedding, The furniture, dishes,
most of tho closhins and fine library worth
Sl,500, which Mr., W., who is man ofcul
tnrc, had Spcnt years in collecting, were all
destroyed Tile loSs is about $500. 1t
seems as though the misfortune should
have Stopped here, bat il did not, UTon the
retura oC AIR Nest, who was abse I at the
time of the tirc, he proceeded to collect the
burning debris, in os,ler to prevent ITS com.
.muaicating with the adjoining buildings. and
while thus engaged stepped into the we'll,
from which the curb had been burned and
which was some % feet deep. The upper
part of the we'll WAS lined with plank,
which were burning and which rendered
Mg. us situation perilous one. Fortu,
nately he was discovered and his rescue ef.
iec5ed, though considerably bruised and in
jared by the fall.
Mr. West i expecting his mother from
Easland in few days, and the accident
Which yhos deprivcs him of the comfortable
home She WAS to enjoy is thus rendered
doubly severe.
