much OF the opposition UNJUST in there is
probably some Justification.
Among the colOred people OF the South the impression
prevails that he has Disseminated against them in the
distribution Of patronage, and that it has not been

Letter From Senator Wilson.
Senator Wilson has addressed the follow
!etter to a political and personal friend:


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10, 1871.
Dear Sir: You ask me, "How the with
drawal by Mr.. Colfax by his irrevocable de-
cision not to be a candidate affects your po-
sition?" have to say in reply that when
the Vice President announced that he should
not be a candidate for reelection and that
the position might be claimed by the friends
OF some eastern southern man, many
gentlemen-some of whom had kindly sup
ported me in 1868, and others who had sup
ported Mr.. Colfax, Mr.. Fenton or Mr.. Wade
said or wrote to me that they intended to
give me their influence for the vice-presi-
dency. l had just been elected for the fourth
time to the Senate, and entered upon the flu ]
term, and had every reason to be gratifieo
and satisfied with my position. This evil
dence of the personal regard and friendship
of many of the noblest men of several States
could not but crafty that feeling which
prizes recognition by the whole country-a
feeling entertained by most men who have
long been in the service of their State. After
ascertaining that the Vice-Presdent's de-
cision was final, assented to the request of
friends before leaving for Europe, early in
June last. After my return, and before the
meeting of Congress, several leading men in
more than dozen States, many of whom
had served with in Congress, assured me
that they and the republicans Of their States
were for my nomination. I have left this
matter to others, and up to this date, the
18th of February, have not written word
to any one nor replied to the many letters
have received on the subject. The revoca-
ton by the Vice-President of his declination
was to me surprise. 1t placed me in an
unpleasant position, and my first impulse
was to withdraw from the contest but by the
advice of some of the best republicans of the
land-East, West and Soulful leave the
question to personal and political friends.
Whatever may be the result shall be con-
tent and shall do what can for the unity
and success of the republican party, whoever
may be its candidates, for l am bound to it
alike by conviction and by association, by
gratitude for its deeds of patriotism and lib
erty and by hopes Of the services it may yet
render to the country.
Yours very truly,
HENRY WILSON.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-02-17

The Joint Special Committee on Jail System held
their first meeting for the session yesterday after
noon, to consider the report of the commissioners
on that subject, made to the legislature near the
close of the last session, The commissioners were
Hon. f. Il. Smith, Hon. T.. e. Harlow and DIR. John
Benson. Mr.. Harlow who drafted the bill which
acc ompanies the report, made full and clear cN
PLANTATION of its provisions. He said the commits.
sioners had considerably, both in and out
of the State inquire into the condition of prisons
and prisoners The State Prison. with IFS inmates,
Is made more than self-supporting. In the diner
ent county jails there are large number constantly
out of employment, and the bill provides that these
men shall be set at work. By the porvisons of the
bill the counties of Cumberland Penobscot, An
droscoggin and kennebec are to provide suitable
workshops, accommodations and materials for the
employment of all offenders against the law. 1t is
thought that after while these jals could become
sef.supportng but this was not specially urged in
support of the systematic moral benefits that would
result to the criminals being the main object; and
as 1t would establish something like moral grada-
ton in jails, it would prevent hardened criminals
from coming in contact with youthful offenders.
Hon. Z. u. Smith also presented the main features
of the BILL and it was discussed by the members of
the committee. 1t voted TO report to the legis-
lature Mr.. Harlows bill, with slight alterations.
