has been accomplished in the one hun.
dred years that will then have elapsed
since the representatives Of thirteen
weak and sparsely settled colonies Of
Great Britain assembled in the city Of
Philadelphia as the Continental Con-
gress, solemnly announced to the werld
that the expressions Of the mother u
try and its usurpstions Of powers which
rightly pertaiued to the people Of the
colonies as subjects had absolved them
from the allegiance which, as loyal men,
they would gladly pay to loyal govern
ment, but would not render to usurping
power. and that for good and sufficient
causes then aud there alleged from
thence forward the bodies they repre-
scented we're no longer bound colonies,
bat were, Of right, free and independ-
ent States" This, the FIRST great formal
act in the nations life, and the wonder
ful growth since then Of these United
States in population, wealth and power;
the rapid development Of a weak nation
slity into one Of the great controlling
powers Of the earth, is now absorbing to
a large extent the attention of the civil.
lied world, and makes the city of Phils-
delphia (the chosen locality for the cele
bration) and its surroundings the focu,

of the finest Paris school, the wines gen.

quently, the exposure Of a small garrison
in an unsupported, outlying fort, and the
massacre that followed, ara not to be
blamed upon General Sherman. As TO
the massacre, the general nov says that
no doubt the troops Of Forrest "acted
like a set Of barbarians, shooting down
the helpless negro garrison after the fort
was in their possession" He gives For
rest the credit of stopping the firing as
soon as he could, and bears testimony to
the fact that when Forrest took Federal
soldiers prisoners he was usually very
kind to them. But me had a desperate
set Of fellows under him." and at that
time there is no doubt the feeling of the
Southern people was fearCulIy savage on
this very point Of our making soldiers
out Of their slaves, and Forrest may have
shared this feeling.

The Galveston News Indictment
Ease

HHHHH" a N0aGs u .U.s. .
GALVESTON, June SIN the United
States District Court this morning in the
case against the proprietors of the Gal
weston News the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS presented a motion to quash
the indictment on the following grounds:
First, the court had not jurisdiction in
such q matter Of contempt, and such a
procedure on the part Of the court was
contrary to all law and practice of
the United States. Second, that
while the proprietors Of the News claim
ed the right and privilege to discuss all
questions before the court in which the
public were interested, yet in the article
referred to on law and higher law, no
d~isrespect wa intended to the court as
intimated in the order Of arrest, nor any
attempt made to influence the cause
then pending in court or to bring
it into disrepute. Judge w. P.
Bsllinger, counsel for Richardson, Belo
d Co, expressed his desire to state the
legal points involved, but Judge Merrill
decided lot to hear them, stating that he
would take the papers under sdvisement
until tomorrow morning The question
on his mind to be settled was the answer
was sufficient to show why attachment
for contempt should not issue; if it was,
further proceedings would be unneces-
sary. The attorney for the defense in
the recent civil rights case made a mo
ton for a new trial before Judge Woods
or Justice Bradley, Of the Supreme
Court. Judge Merrill took the motion
under consideration.

COUNT woRK,HoUsE.

A recent Law provides that prisoners
committed for misdemesnors may be
bailed out at twenty-five cents a day
and allowed to work out their fines
at that rate; provided, the county has no.
work-house, and even then the prisoners
are notnecesssrily confined within its
walls. A committee was appointed
at the last term of the County
Court to act with a committee
from the General Council TO consider
the feasibility Of erecting q ~work-house
or buying a suitable house and grounds.
The committees met in joint session
yesterday to consider proposals. None,
however, we're accepted or acted upon.
After discussion a resolution was passed
authorizing the chairman to advertise
for bids TO hire the county prisoners for
a term Of FIVE years or more. AS a
measure of economy this seems to be
the preferable plan. The law recently
passed, however, is rather severe in
some Of its features, and any contract
by which prisoners are hired out should
be carefully guarded to secure them
proper treatment, food and quarters,
This Is a matter liable to abuse by the
interruptions, who may seek to specu-
late on the labor Of those sentenced for
eight offenses to confinement at hard
labor, None but strictly responsible
persons should be given such con-
tracts, and only then under the
immediate supervision Of the prison
authorities. There is ne doubt but
it would be cheaper for the county
and better for the most of the prisoners
to make them earn their bread and a
little more, and in SO doing the idea Of
prison life, should be carried out as far
as practicable. The convict should be
removed from the public gaze and made
to feel that he is undergoing a punish
meut for en- ofense against the public.
We would not like to see a system of
peonage adopted under which irrespon-
sible and cruel persons might, under the
aemblance and form Of law, obtain con
troll of the person and services of their
fellow men without giving security for
proper treatment. The question is
hedged about with some difficulties
which we trust the excellent gentlemen
Of the General Council aud Quarterly
Court will solve 10 the interest of the
public and humanity without admitting
any abuses or perversions into the new
system. To utilize convict labor without
abusing 1t or infringing on the rights of
laW-abiding citizens is one Of the most
difficult problems Of social science. 1t
has puzzled philosophers, statesmen
and ph~ilanthropists. A solution fully
accepted by all these classes has yet to
be reached. The experiment about to
bs undertaken will throw new light on
the subject and go to make up the 6nal
verdict Of the great civilized world.
