Prisoners at Work.

Yesterday the guards at the county
jail hearing an unusual amount of
laughter among the prisoners in the
"cage," suspected that some mischief
wos going on and they accordingly WIS.,
tied that part of the building, when
they found on examination that two of
the iron bars were nearly sawed asun-
der On searching inside two small
saws were found, made OF watch
springs. How they got there is a se-
cret as the prisoners undergo strict
search before being placed therein.
This is the third haul that has been
made in the last month, but the pris-
oners do not seem to be- at all discour-
aged. The mystery is how the tools
are gotten inside the Jail, as a strict
watch is constantly kept especially to
prevent such occurrences as this. IN

Freight Discrimination.

On Thursday week in st. Louis, the
committees appointed by the Mer-
chants and Cotton Exchanges, the
Board of Trade and the Cotton Buyers
Association, to take some action in the
matter of unjust freight discrimina-
tons against the city of st. Louis, held
meeting at which the following spec.
linen letter was read. Many similar
communication are daily received by
the prominent merchants and business
men of that city.
DALLAS, TEXAS, Oct. ~, 1876.
Messrs. #. Mitchell Il Bros:
GENrLENIEN-I desire to call your
attention to the determinations in
freights against st. Louis and in favor
of New York, from the effects of which
st. Louis is losing great deal of trade
from Texas. l have seen through bills
Of lading for New York to Dallas for
second-class, % cents; thlrd-class, so
cents; fourth-class, 10 cents per hun
dred, and from st. Louis to Dallas,
tirst-class, Sl.75; second-class, 81 40;
third-class, Sl.2O; fourth-class, 81. You
can ready see the difference. st. Louis
can get the greater portion of Texas
trade If we can have ut least equal
freights. Hoping you will bring this
matter before the Board of Trade and
compel the railroads running out of st,
Louis to give US at least competing
rates with New York. / am, very re-
specially, W. b. GREENLAw.
The trade of Texas has become such
an important adjunct to the CONNER,
cial prosperity Of st, Louis, that her
business men become thoroughly
alarmed when other cities reach out
for u portion of the wealth that flows
from the Lone Star State. We are
glad to see that Texas is becoming so
important, commercially, to the large
cities of the West and East, and would
like to see more movements Of the
character of the one recorded above
rs they must perforce result in good
for Dallas and the State at large.
Cheaper freights would enable our mer-
chants to sell cheaper, and this as
natural consequence would increase
the desirability of Dallas as market
for Northern Texas. We think credit
IL due Mr.. Greenlaw for his move In
the matter, and We feel satisfied that
he will receive the appreciation and
thanks of the merchants Of Dallas.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
by the committee, and the necessary
amount of money was at once raised
to prosecute the matter vigorously.

OUR COUNTY JAIL.
VIII the County Court DO ching ?

II there be one thing in our midst
which more than another, Is n disgrace
to our humanity and civilization, II Is
the county jail. In converslng with
All attorney we gathered facts enough
to induce few remarks concerning
this standing abuse. The attorneys
complain because they are frequently
called upon to interview their clients
In the jail itself. 1t is true the officers
are as courteous and accommodating
in the matter of bringing out prisoners
for the purpose of consultation at the
request of attorneys, as the nature of
the case will admit; but n press Of bus
mess, or large number of applications,
frequently creates so much dely that
the privilege Is practically of small
value This works II great injus.
tice to the prisoner, for he cannot, in
room with dozen or more occu-
pants, have that full, free and untram-
meled intercourse that u confidential
interview between attorney and client
demands.
But this is by no means the only in
justice under which the prisoners la
Dor. They are huddled together,
chained to a bolt In the centre OF the
room, rs many AZ twelve or fifteen in
one apartment. This in the winter
season is perhaps easier to bear, but In
the stlfliing sultry months Of the sum-
mer, with only grated door and win
dow for ventilation, Is positive tor
ture, not to say inhuman barbarity.
During these months the stencil In
these dungeons arising from the
breathing and bodily exhalations of
the miserable wretches, is absolutely
sickening. When We reflect that hun
dreds of innocent men are yearly con-
hned within the loathsome walls,
awaiting tho law'a interminable
delays, to obtain at once their triala
and their liberties, ought not the re,
Election awaken our sense of justice il
not our sentiments Of pity +? When the
taxpayers remember that any one OF
them may, at any time, be unjustly
incarcerated, ought not the reflection
make them willing to assume the
small additional burden that would be
imposed on them were new Jail
built?
We have Ms efficient set OF officer:
as can be found within the borders OF
the State, who are ever on the alert t
catch offenders, and areaindefatigablt
in their efforts to hold them after they
are caught, bpt the present jail is Sc
insecure that with piece OF meta
they can open n road to liberty. Tn,
only wonder is that the numerous
guards have been able to keep them Il,
well as they have done heretofore.
IL has long been an axiom of civil
iaation that loss Of liberty is suilicien
punishment without the superadditiol
of torture, and THE HERALD would re
specially call the attention of th,
court to this TACT, hoping that after in
vestigatlon they may wipe out stall
on the civilization OF Dallas county.
