CONVICT LABOR.

From the following, which we clip from
the New York Tribune, it may be seen
how much the tax payers are relieved by
the labor Of the inmates of the Texas
States Prison. As viii be seen BY the ex-
extract, the number Of inmates
some five or six years ago, was
SIX hundred, and for their labor a contract
was entered into with an enterprising firm,
for tie sum Of 2175, 900 Per annum. Since
then theinmatcs have increasedto nine hun
bred and over. and the contracts still remain
the same. Quite nice thing for the con
tractors. The expense Of keeping 600
convicts vas $500, 900 at the same ratio it
would cost $3.50, 600 for 900 convicts, and
the State receives Sl75, 900 for their labor
We would ike to know who is benefited
by the contract VIII some of the tax pay
ers of the State enlghten us on this sub
jet
Texas has State Prison located AZ
Huntsville, with some nine hundred in
mates, and the number is steadily and
rapidly increasing. The cost of running
it. when its population was six hundred.
was $500, 600 per annum and even that
was cheap as State Prisons 90.
Some five or sin years ago, an enterpris-
ing partnership offered SID 600 per an
mum for the work they could get out of
the convicts, and the offer was accepted.
The prisoners have been working under
this contract ever since, to the eminent
satisfaction Of the contractors We are
not 30 sure as to the prisoners, but they
are regularly taught to make Wagons,
shoes, and other useful products, and 20
leave the prison far better qualified to
fight the battle Of life than they entered
1t; for few felons ever learned a trade
outside Of prison walls They are school
cd, moreover, in habits Of daily labor,
which are novelties to most Of them.
We have no account Of the partition of
power between the contractors and the
States keepers, but presume the lions
share falls to the former On the whole,
the arrangement seems crude but We are
only acquainted with its outlines.
