/. Southern State Prison.

A short time ago, during = visit TO JEFF
tersonvills, we took look through the peu-
itentiary. We found it comfortably full.
having about $50 inmates. We went through
with no system to support, no AK to grind,
but to. see for ourseif- how this great insti-
tuition is managed IN the interests of the
parties concerned; aud we concluded, first,
that the prisoners were more huuanely
cared for than formerly. While we do not
approve of the policy Of making prison life
desirable, We would always remember that
though depraYed, the prisoners are men; and
that while society must protect itself from
the depredations OF bad men, it should also
restore the fallen if possible. These per-
sons are better fed better clothed, and bet
ter worked than under the imm ediate prede-
cessor of the present warden, Cot. Shuler.
We say better worked. We mean that they
work more like men and less like beasts.
Evidently the architecture of the old
prison needs modifying. The cells are not
well constructed for health, ard the shops
might be better arranged. But in that bet
ter TINA coming wien the State shall rise
above the narrow mindeduess of other years,
and look to reformation as one chief end
Of prison discipline, this old prison may be
remoddled and adapted to the 'intermedi ate
glade.s half way between the house for iuven-
lie offenders and the prison for adult and
hardened felons.
Here and there we met young men, with
intelligent faces, once the center of affec-
ton and hnpe-yet the centre of affection,
though hope is gone, except in the never
dying, ever hopeful love of a mother. They
are here subjected to the discipline which
is deemed necessary for those Who arc
hardened in crime aud subject also to ths
influence of their company.

NATURAL ALIslENT.-The TX"
correspondent Of the Telegram has
furnished the editor of the "Radi-
cal' with sufficient quantity Of
the "broth of hell"-the slanderer's
and liars natural food. that he SO
delights to "roll, as sweet NOR
sci under his tongue''-that will
last him at least until his next
edition.
We know the author of the com-
munication, copied into the Radi-
cal from the Te!egram-the base
and unworthy motives prompting
him to pen such deliberate, mali
cious and wilful lies, in regard to
the promises and utteranccs of
Judge WILSON, regarding the ap-
pointment Of n Postm astcr in Rich
mond, are we'll understood by al!
who know the writer. He knows
the charges he makes against
Judge WILSON, to be, singiy and
altogether, tie coinage Of his hypo
critical brain, aided by his bad
heart. and, without multiplying
words, We brand him as a deliber-
ate liar and slandcrer.
A man who will make the at
tempt to buy his way into an OIL
fice-who will offer a bribe to have
the track cleared for himself, would
not hesitate 10 resort to anything
low, mean and disreputable, to in
jure the reputation of one for
whom he had professed great
friendship, If that friend had, in
the line Of his duty, failed to car
~ out the plans X'' had laid for
his own personal advancement.
II tx" desires his name spelled
out in full, we are ready to do it;
for, when we know friend te
have been lied on, and know the
liar, we never hesitate to say SO
particularly when we behold The
editor of the Radical masticatine
the villainous hash with SO greedy
an appetite, that the old devil, NJ
doubt, envied, and gave his tail al
extra wag, when his servant Isaa,
had swallowed the last prcciou,
morsel and licked the plate!

PKESIDENT GRANT.

We all know the history of President
Grant.
From the rscssses of ooscurity the great
war of Rebellion drew him forth, and he
proved himself to be the man for tn, oeea-
sion-- the great and skillful chieftain at the
bead of our army in saving the Union,
Others, with equal military education and
far more fame, tried the leadership Of the
Union army and failed. lie succeed: And.
to-day, he occupies position as military
chieftain. patriot and true man, that will hon.
or and adorn the pages of tho history of this
country while time shall last.
Yel moro! bright as the meridian sun will
his fame and glory endure, when the very
names OF his traducers shall be sunk in OBJ.
Iiyion.
The name of Jefferson Davis as traitor to
his coun.ry,will livs in iniamy through all
ages Of the future, as that of Judas Iscariot
has in the past. But the names of his Davis
satellites aud those who flicker round these
lesser traitors will soon pass into the dark
caves of everlasting forgetfullness, never
more to disgrace the mem,ry Of men and
patriots.
At the head of our armies as com .adsr,
Grant did more for his country than any
man, at the head Of the nation as Chief Civ
il Magistrate, he is doing more for the wei
fare ofthe people, the hoaor and glory of the
country, and the perpetuity of the Union,
than any other President ever did.
Let any man deny this, who dares, and We
can prove it, beyond doubt, to be strictly
true in theory and practice.
We say, let his enemies howl and call fol

the Republican party cannot afford to ven

Because they cannot find among all tn

The Presidential Election.

The leading papers of the country contin-
ne to discuss the coming Presidential ton-
test with an earnestness aud q vigor which
gives the promise that the approaching battle
will be one Of the most exciting ard bitter in
our political history. The organs of both
parties settle the result to their entire satis-
faction, and give victory according to fore.
gone conclusions and desires. Two or three
tables are now going the rounds of the press,
which assume to forecast the future. No
one Of them is exactly accurate, but as they
are a good index of popular feeling on the
subject, it may be instructive to print them.

DOUBTFUL.

Every one will see that there are several
blunders in this table. New Hampshire, for
instance, is certain to go Republican in 1879,
and the eleven electoral votes of Missouri will
not certainly be counted on the Democratic
side. There are good reasons for believing
that the Republicans will carry California in
The coming election, and tie idea of Ohio be-
ing doubtful is absurd. The Philadelphia
Press presents table, based on what it
thinks will be the number of the new House
of Representatives, Us follows:
The Richmond palladium., 1872-01-13

This is a much better table than the prece.
ding one, and will hit the work more closely.
The principal objection to it is that it gives
California to the Democracy aud makes Mis-.
souri, s.doubtiul.'' To set down the former
as doubtful" and the latter as Republican
would, in our opinion, make it mole accurate.
