HTATE PRISON.

It will be remembered that some
time since, Deputy Warden Evans Of
the State Prisoo, vas removed BY
Warden Jaokm.n. Evans naturally
felt sore over the affair, and forthwith
preferred long list Of charges against
Jaokman, which consisted principally
Of alleged oarelessness in the manage
nent Of tho prison, sad groo negli-
gence in tho manner Of keeping ~
counts, while perverting the property
Of the State to bis owl uss aud benefit,
figured in tho complaint made. The
State Prison inspectors made q full in
vestigation Of the case, but unable, or
unwilling to take action. the matter
WAS referred to Gov. Davis, Who took
the matter under consideration. Since
that time thote interested have await
ed the Governors decision in the mst-
ter. somewhat anxioasly, and with IN.
deniable interest.
But now \ now feature Is introduced
in the resi- euation of Mr.. Jackmsn,
which wa rendered on Wednesday,
and promptly accepted by the Cover
nor yesterday. Whether this il the
direct result Of tho investigation, for
the purpose Of relieving the Governor
from further responsibility in the mat
ter, and if SO, ia what Mr.. Jackmsn
has sinned, and how grievoasly, or
whether his offense is merely sloven-
ness, the public must for itself infer,
as the resignation and Governor d.
Wis acceptance thereof l. not It this
date made public.
That this step has been seine time
under consideration i evinced in the
fact that the Governor promptly .p-
pointed ~ successor to Mr.. Jscknsu. .

shipped At shrines where, when the
