State Penitentiary; and not long ago an in
vestigation into the condition of the Indiana
State Prison revealed tho existence Of out
rageous abuses there comprising both
frauds and bad treatment of the inmates
In Missouri, however, the evil is in the
form of plundering the State; and, i'm
moral as it is, it lacks the element of inhu-
manity which the Indiana disclosures have
brought to light.
The Missouri Penitentiary is at jefferson
City, the capital of the State Connected
with the prison is storehouse of supplies for
the consumption of the oonvicts. Here are
kept large quantities of family groceries,
wood, coal-oil, flour, and horse feed; and
large supplies of fresh beef for the prison are
received here daily. The legal regulations
forbid the officers of the Penitentiary from
obtaining any of their supplies from this
source. The Investigations of the State Com
mission, however, clearly show that during
1868 not only the warden, the deputy warden,
the commissary, and the factor Of the prison
obtained their family supplies from the pri-
son, but so also did the Governor of the
State; and there is no evidence that these
supplies we're ever weighed or measured, or
that they were ever paid for. They conf
prised beef, hay corn, chops, coal-oil, fuel,
sugar, coffee, and molasses all taken from
the prison storehouse.
DuJ lnlb 10 uOJ bue WOfbb. lU0 uOJOTlOuS
express robber Reno, was in 1868 imprisoned
in this Penitentiary. A plan was arranged
not alone by the keepers, who form in all
large prisons the worst paid and most unre-
liable class Of officers, but among the deputy
wardens as well-to effect the release of this
scoundrel. He was to pay $4,000 to secure his
escape; and the villainous officials proposed
to put him in a barrel under some pork
chops, and thus get him carried outside the
prison wallis and there, having obtained the
money, they had arranged that he should be
either recaptured or killed. The evidence
does not show why the plan was not carried
out.
OF course, men such as these did not scru-
pie to cheat the State in other ways than
merely by directly stealing its property.
Convicts, who appeared on the prison rolls as
invalids and unfit to work, were taken out to
farms belonging to the officers where they
assisted in the cultivation of large crops
such as one of thirty thousand cabbages; it
being said to be beneficial to the health Of
the convicts to take them out sometimes"
The crops thus raised were afterwards sold to
the State for the use of the Penitentiary. In
a somewhat similar way convict labor appears
to have been employed on contract to pave
the streets of Jefferson, the contractor paying
nothing to the State for the laborers, but de-
manding from the city payment for the per-
formance of the work.

Andrew johnson enjoys the distinction of
being the only prominent politician who has
at eny time openly proposed a scheme of
barefaced robbery Mr.. Pendleton and Mr..
Butler only proposed to redeem promise to
pay by substituting, on the expiration of the
tenn, a similar obligation. 1t happened that
the ive-twenty bonds, which form a large por-
tion Of the debt, bore on their face an under
taking to pay the interest in gold, neither
debtor nor creditor having at that time ina
gined any doubt as to the full discharge of
the principal. PettifoggiDg apologists of
dishonesty, Notwithstanding the notorious
fact that the agents of the Government
had announced that the bonds would be paid
in gold, attempted to deduce from the express
provision for the payment of interest an inn
piled waiver on the part of the creditor of his
right to receive his principal in specie. Up to
the present time neither the Democrats, nor
the Republican section which agrees with Mr..
Butler have publicly disclaimed their dis
honest Interpretation; and if the Western
States are really hostile to the payment of the
debt, any resolution which Congress may have
passed will be easily evaded. After the census
of the present year, the electoral power of the
Atlantic States will be largely diminished,
and the bondholders of New York, of Penn
sylvania, and of New England will become
more than ever dependent on the good

must be remembered that nearly every North
ern State took advantage, during the war,
of the depreciation of the paper currency to
perpetrate, at the expense of its creditors,
the very fraud which is now ostensibly de-
nounced. The debts which had been incurred
in gold we're discharged by the payment of
less than half the value in the paper which
had for another purpose become q lawful
tender When the same constituencies in
their Federal character return members who
make eloquent speeches against reputation,
it is not surprising that capitalists should
interpret their pledges by their practice. At
present the balance of probability is in favor
of full discharge of the debt, because the
performance of the duty will be not only easy
but profitable The publicity of Federal
transactions affords an additional security
against acts of dishonesty which the separate
States may commit without provoking external
criticism. An element of uncertainty is intro
duced into the calculation by the national
habit of referring to the will of the people
as the ultimate standard of right and wrong.
Not long since, competent judges of popu-
larity thought that the will of the people
would sanction scandalous fraud If their
calculation had been right, political leaders
would almost with one accord have obeyed
the dictation of the multitude.

The very atmosphere of large prison
seems to attract fraud One of the most
serious difficulties in the management of an
extensive establishment for the confinement
of convicted criminals is to guard against the
corruption of the officials in whose charge it
is placed. The law, in probably all the
States, throws every check which has been
thought needful about the Offices of authority
upon which rests the greatest responsibility
in the case; but to-day, notwithstanding all
the restrictions which Legislators can provide,
it is probable that there are very few large
penal institutions in the whole land where
official corruption does not exist.
The latest example of this is the Missouri

the editor should so serve his press that,
whether his mere body lives or dies, his news
paper will remain after him aud continue to
grow with increasing power A well-estab-
lished newspaper becomes an integral part
Of modern civilization. No influence seems
to affect IL and when the editor drags il
down TO the level of his own personality,
to share in his bodily griefs and Joys
and misfortunes, he makes grievous error.
This journalists are beginning TO see. We
have outlived the old times of clamor, and
defamation, and brilliant personal invective.
The death of Mr.. Prentice marks dividing
line. He did his work we'll. We could have
wished his work had belonged to the new dis
pensation, but it was something he had to do,
and it is giving him the highest praise to say
that he did it with enthusiasm and courage as
a man who believed in it, and labored TO the
end. Sincere work well done is the beauty
and fullness of life, and may this be said of
all of us as we say it now of the brilliant,
bitter, aggressive champion who has passed
to his rest.
