To The Editors Of the Dispatch:

Az "e THlttoFS ~ We NSpdtch:
Sirs,-You will please permit lis to make
known through the columns of your widely
circulated journal that we entirely exonerate
the new Board Of the penitentiary, lately
appointed by bis Excel'ency Governor
Walker, from having anything whatever to
do with the late contract given to Mr.. John
Brophy. We also wish the community to
know that we have no objection (but would
be. on the contrary, glad) that they could
manufacture one thousand pair per day of
boots aud shoes in the penitcn:iary il they
only sell them by wholesale, aud not bring
in convict labor to conflict with our custom
trade. Every man ought to know that the
man who pays i've dollars for making and
fitting one pair of boots, aud has to furnish
leather, lasts, boot-trees, &C., pay store rent,
and furnish everything to carry on his work,
cannot compete with Il man who can work Il
hand for whole week for less money than
the former pays for making one pair, aud
who has everything else free except his
leather. Therefore we hope that we will
never again he subjected to such gross out
rage. JUSTICE.
