Utilizing CRIMINALS.

Rather u novel bill has been introduced
in the Texas Legislature. Its object Is to
turn to good account the labor of persons
convicted of offences in the courts. The
first section of the proposed law provides
that whenever any person is hereafter
convicted of IN offence, the presiding
Justice of the county can employ such
offender upon the public works or roads,
or may hire him out to the highest bid
der either by public or private contract.
The second section is to the effect that
justices may, in like manner, hire out to
the highest bidder, any person under
sentence of imprisonment for non-pay-
mcnt of fine until he has work
ed out the amount of the iine'
and if there is no demand for labor upon
the public works, any person who pays
the fine may have the benefit Of the Ia
Dor.
The third section says that "all person
confined in Jail on Il charge of having
committed misdemeanor or petty offence
NAV be employed in like manner from
the time of Imprisonment until the time
Of trial, and il, upon trial, such person
shall be acquitted, he shall be paid not
less than % cents. nor more than 81 per
day, as the presiding justice may con-
tract; pr.orided that Jcfore trial and con-
ricGon no person shall! be held 10 tabor
1cifLom his consent
The fourth section requires sheritls to
capture and return to their employers,
any escaped convict who has thus been
hired, and the convict is required to re-
commence his term of labor, and continue
until the full term stated in the contract
shall have expired.
Now. this law has been much criticized
by the press, especially those of the out
rage and general horror manufacturing
order. These claim that it is an effort to
revive slavery, or Pconagc in Texas. But,
palpablv, no such construction can be
Justly put upon it. The TRUTHS that there
are numerous petty criminals throughout
the State. men whose crimes are not
great enough to send them to the peni-
Tertiary; but sufficient to throw them
several days in Jail. While there, they
are simply burden and expense to the
public, and probably many deliberately
commit petty larcenies and such like
crimes, hoping they may be discovered
and furnished with food and lodging 20
chcaply. 1t is to obviate this, and re-
licvc the burden it entails, that this law
has been introduced. There is nothing
in il either unjust or unfair. \ criminal
i, not compelled to work until convicted,
then he does no more than our State
prisons everywhere demand. If before
conviction the accused chooses to work
rather than languish in Jail, he can do
so, and if acquitted, he is subsequently
paid for his labor. 1t is wise law, and
will work out good, if passed.

BRIGADIER GENERAL MEYER, Chief
Signal Officer of the army, in his annual
report to the Secretary of War, dilates at
length upon the signal good which his
Department has accomplished. lie re-
commends that, as assistants to the chief
officer, eight be appointed, with the rank
and pay of captains in the army, and
eight with the rank and pay of first lieu
tenants, while serving, and that the pay
orthc enlisted men be the same as that of
the most favored branch of the service.
Tie concludes with acknowledging the
generous support accorded by the press
and public, and says:
THE opportunities for rendering pub
lie good have been widened as the SER
vice has extended, and the limits to the
bounds which it is possible to attain can
not be estimated"

FROM the coming report of the Com

FROM the coming report of the Com
missioner of Customs, Hon. III. Z. JOHN
SON, it would appear that American
tourists have gone extensively into the
smuggling business. He claims that
among the $3.50 tourists who have re-
turned from Europe in the past year,
there were brought in, on an average,
seven trunks per head, and all filled with
dutiable articles. He calculates that the
enormous sum of Sl2s, 9O5,OO0 of customs
revenue has been lost the country from
this source alone. He proposes to remedy
this abuse by limiting the quantity to a
fixed sum to be brought in duty free By
each person, in every case, the importa-
ton to be sworn to.
