Warren states that after several conferences
with DR.. Atchison, the Committee had
come to the conclusion that that was as
much as the Joint Committee of the Asso-
citation and the Penitentiary Inspectors
could all agree upon. This Memorial he
desired to have sent to every county in the
State for signatures, and then returned
here to be presented to the Legislature
DIR. Atchison had informed him that he
(Dr. A. would be glad TO have so, coo sig
natures to the Memorial. Mr.. W. further
remarkedt that the Committee designed TO
draw up brief petition independently of
the above Memorial, to be circulated only
in Davidson county. He had not written
this second Memorial, as 1t could be attend
ed to at the next meeting, but the sub
stance of what would be embodied in it
was simply this-to say, that after consul
tation with the Inspectors of the Peniten-
tiary, we are informed that it is their pur-
pose to so modify the present system of
convict labor as to turn 1t into one or
two channels. We are satisfied that they
are honest and energetic gentlemen, end
we concur with them in their suggestions.
Some discussion on the adoption of the
memorial arose, three members giving
their views at length, and opposing the
adoption of the memorial; bat when the
motion was put, the memorial given above
was unanimously adopted, and the Com
mittee on Publication was ordered TO have
one hundred copies printed and sent to
the Mayor of every town throughout the
State for signatures, with the request to
return the same for transmission to the
