A CIGSUS IN TORMENT.
IHEXCUsADLE INHUMANITY.

The following editorial remarks on the
prison discipline of New York, we clip from
lengthy article in the lOaier-.Jonna OF
Louisville The treatment Of the celebrated
James H. Ingersoll, of Tammany Ring fame,
must strike every right thinking man AS out
rageous, calculated to serve no good purpose
and to do much harm.
Because q man has committed crime and
has been sentenced to the penitentiary
i, no reason for degrading him to the
level Of the brute, for killing every generous,
impulse and smothering forever every gentle
manly and refined instinct The object OF
Prison discipline should be to turn out upon
society men who have been improved and not
debased
OF all prison regulations the most odious,
to those convicts who retain any sensibility.
are the convict dress and the march breast to
back. The correspondent who. has recently
pictured the New York prisons tells us that in
the formation Of the gangs, blacks and whites,
the hardened criminal and the victim
of circumstances, the low born and
vulgar and the wealthy delinquent,
are all on level, and are required to
occupy the assigned niche, however repulsive
the association may be. Thus it happens
that as the gangs move to and fro in the pres
.ence of spectators, the faces Of many are care
fully averted, indicating all too plainly those
whose associations in life have been very
different nom those in which they are

able distin ction may not be without particu-
lar illustration, the correspondent gives us
sketch of a single instance in these words:
Take the gang coming from the horse-collar
shop. The leader is a stalwart, broad -shoul-
dered giant, who marches with head erect, bold
'ly looking everybody in the face, his whole
demeanor indicating sort Of pride in his po-
siton which can only be consistent in har-
dened criminal. Half way down the line is a
well-formed figure, whose convict garb
fits nicely, his straight black hair is care
fully combed, and the side view Of his
averted face shows features of intelli-
gence and refinement that are at once seen
to be out Of place in that company That is
James II. Ingersoll, OF Tammany fame, whose
haste to get rich has brought upon him this
painful degradation. He now marches with
his delicate hands clasping burly negro
who precedes him, and with Il noted burglar be-
hind him. These two form his neighbors at
meals, and are entitled to all the considera-
ton accorded to him. They are his nearest
companions il his confinement, whose associ-
alton he cannot escape if he would Here
is food for thought for the prison re
formers This man committed crime and
he deserves punishishment but to thus
force him into CLOSE association with
objects he must loathe is only calculated to !
debase him, to exasperate him to state Of
insensibihty to shame like the man at the
head of the column, or the dull apathy of the
burly negro before him, and make him as
hardened d criminal as the noted burglar be-
hind him s9naasaaNa

The Disturbance in Algiers.
A Picayune Riot.

The strikes which, from time to time, have
taken place among the negro laborers on the
levee, owing to the differences which existed
between them and their employers as to
wages, have upon almost every occasion, cul-
minated in threatening riots and but for the
interference Of the police, would have natu-
rally terminated in bloodshed
This Morning,
while some laborers were busily engaged In
their usual duties in the extensive coal yards
Of Messrs. Coyle & Co., in Algiers, they were
suddenly set upon by a number OF desperate
strikers, and upon fear Of death, were ordered
to desist from work. These employees were
not members of the union, and naturally All
antaponistic feeling existed between the two
parties. Not feeling disposed to acquiesce to
unjust demand, the laborer, employed by
Coyle & Co decidedly refused to stop work
Thereupon
they were greeted with u shower Of rocks and
other missiles from the assaling party, imme-
diately followed by hand-to-hand encounter.
After severe fist fight, they were routed by the
men of coal, and as the Alsiers police put in
an appearance, the disturbance was completely
queled.
During the Fight
a number of the missiles naturally took effect
upon the party of aborers, who, up to the
time of the hand-to-hand encounter, were on
the defensive. After the battlefield had beel4
cleared by the police force, sent over the river
by Badger, it was ascertained that some five
or six men had been injured three of whom
severely.
Later.
On learning of the difficulty, reporter OF
the BULLETIN Immediately repaired to the
scene of action, but to all appearances every
thing was quiet, for the whole affair over
in fifteen minutes. --------

SONG OF THE TYPES.

| Sagcs! who bend meath a burden ripe

As 1t falls from the printers fingers
| In dismal garnet and dingy town,
Where the Rline's blue waves are flowing,

And set my footsteps going.
But burst on the world like the mornings sun
And lighted its midnight hoary,
And though my long journey has just begun,
have flooded the globe with glory.

Restored it's strength and beauty;
An taught the proud princes that rule mankind
The lesson that power is duty.

And opened It's inner portal,
Till it spurns indignant all human control,
And scars i'll its flight immortal.
In the realm Of science l scatter light,
To the poor, bear hope III his howell;
For never again shall the world in night
In darkness and slavery Srovel.
Let no scholar despair, no warrior quail;
ObliviOns scythe is rotten;
For no more shall the words of wisdom fall
Nor the heros deeds be forgotten.
The minstrels strings shall not break again,
And love shall be ever vernal
For the maidens vow and the poets strain
Shall sound through the aisles eternal.
The old world shakes meath my giant tread,
And in vain tries to fetter my pinions
For my voice speaks doom and my arm bears
dread
To crumbling thrones and dominions.
-Four hundred years their walls I've heard,
And the cause of their dire alarm is,
That the pen is mighter than the sword,
And the Types than thousand armies.
Thrice welcome to me is the Lord of the West.

NELLIE is NOBODY IN ENGLAND.I hope that
no eNI ectations were entertained in the United
States concerning honors to be paid to the Prcsi-
dents daughter on her arrival here Mrs. Sar-
toris. The papers recorded the fact Of her mar
rage in paragraph of five or six lines, but no
mention has been made Of her arrival with her
husband in England. In fact, the opinion seems
to be that the young lady made messalliance
and has placed herself at great disadvantage.
As Miss Grant, the daughter Of the American
President, she was welcomed here by the swells
and received by the Queen; but as Mrs Sartoris,
the wife Of an English civil engineer, she is no
body. l scarcely know whether she can be pre-
sented at court 1t is to be hoped that she will not
be made unhappy by the change which her
marriage has wrought in her position.

The Wicked Judges.

1t takes the Republican majority i'll Con
gress long while to work itself up to the
point OF admitting the crimes of a Repub-
lican official, and still longer while to
punish him. The Judiciary Committee Of
the House has been investigating the con
duct of Dureu of Louisiana, Busteed OF
Alabama and Story of Arkansas, and find,
what great many persons knew long ago, that
they deserve impeachment. But the ma
jority do not want to impeach them. They
allowed the infamous Delahay of Kan
sas, to resign to escape impeachment
few months ago, and they are evil
IDENTIFY awaiting to give the three others a
chance to escape disgrace in the same way
The framing Of articles Of impeachment
by the House, and the trial OF the cases
by the Senate, cannot be had before
another session, and by that time Durell,
Busted and Story may resign and go free. It
is said that Story's resignation has been sent
in already. It is a great pity for the country
that some Of the many malefactors. whose vii
lainies are being brought to light, cannot be
punished s.. Louis Republican.

The Mormon QUESTION.

The New York Tribune: ''In the opin.
ion Of the ablest and most enlightened
of all who have visited Utah since
the Pacific Railroads opened the way
to it, and of all who have given the
Mormon question serious thought, the very
wisest treatment to give the Mormon Church
and the institution Of polygamy is to leave
them just as they are, open to daylight
and to the influence of civilization. All
the signs of the TIME point to gradual
change in the condition of the Territory and
the people which will remove existing evils
and assimilate both to tie tier States and
Territories of the Union"

Donizetti loved maccaron and so did Lablache
One night the composer was invited to sup with
the great basso singer, and there no maccal-
oni on the menu, so he was in despair. La
bache, perceiving his disappointment said: See
here Donizetti, if you will compose something for
me in the album Of my friend the Countess de
Merlin, whilst you are doing it will cook you
some excellent maccaroni."
Agreed. Silence was proclaimed. Madame
Persian whispered to Mario, ''Donizetti is writ
ing cavatina. l wish it was for me-" And
Thalberg exclaimed, soto voce, ''If it is pretty
will compose variations for the pianoforte on it. "
Labache now cried out in his terrific voice, Isl
l6nce'-and siledce there was.
Donizetti finished his composition IN twenty
five minutes, and. then, going up to Thalberg,
forced him to seat himself at the piano and play
the accompaniment whilst Persiani and Mario
sang the duet from the Elisire y" Whilst they
were singing the now world-famous duet, which
had been thus briefly composed, Donizetti began
to eat his maccaroni
On being called into the saloon to receive the
compliments of the artists, he came with a nap
kin round his neck and his hands and mouth full
of long pieces of maccaroni. He had in the brief
space Of twenty-five minutes composed a duet
and the first five or six lines Of the servants
chorus in don Pasquale,' which afterwards
became celebrated waltz.
