Help from the Peuitcntiary.

BABcoCK's ingenious counsel managed
during the trial to make several strong
points against their client In attempting
to show that the relations which had cx
istcd between DABCoCK and JOYCE were
simply social and political, number of
letters from the former to the latter were
put in evidence. 1t is significant fact
that all these letters with the exception of
one were written previous to 1875. But
there is Il still more striking circumstance
connected with them.
The letters, il should he remembered, were
i'll the possession of JoYcEup to within three
months of the trial ana were furnished by
that convict TO help out BABcoCKs case.
The mode of transmission came clearly to
the light at the trial. JoYcE's wife had
taken the lctters to eX-GOv. FLETCHER, and
by him they had been placed IN Judge
KRUMs hands. The prosecution forced
FLErCHERto the stand in orderto bring out
thoeo facts, aud to show that the relations
which had eX sted between BABCoCK and
JOYCE in 1873, 1874, and 1873, had not been
sundered by JoYcE's conviction as a thief,
and his sentence to the penltentiary.
Here we have the letters, sent from the
penitentiary by JOYCE to FLETCHER, his
| attorney, given by FLETCHER TO kRUM,
BABcocK's counsel, aud 10y KRCM employed
10 save BABcoCK from the necessity of
| joining his old social and political friend IN
| the very place where the evidence origi-
mated.
Ii Is not hard 10 understand JoyCEs mo-
tive in reaching through prison bars &c
| lend helping hand 10 BADCoCK. How
ever the convict might have Ionged for
the solace of the SYLPn's genial companions
ship, his interest did not lie in the convic-
| ton of his old friend. A BABcoCK, ac-
| quilted, vindicatcd, powerful at Washing

Ii is represented from Albany that Mr..
Hamilton FISH Jr., is anxious about his
bail concerning tramp- and fears TIL his
mind that the proposed measure may not
be adopted.
Even if Mr. FIsu's approhcnsions should
be realized. and his bill should ultimately
be rejected, he may still find comfort in
the reflection that he has at least done
something for art. He has achieved what
architects have long sought for in vain (;
that Is, style of building at once commo-
dious and cheap. Mr.. FISH has found out
way to construct Il prison capable of
holding securely considerable number OF
tramps, class Of persons difficult 10 re-
strain in one place, and the cost OF the
building, all told, Is to be only one hundred
dollars, A paltry sum, next To nothing!
What pity the buildings for the Centen-
NAL could not have been erected on this
plan, aud then no appropriation for them
would have been needed of Congress.
Mr.. FISH should ut once present TO the
anxious public model of his proposed
edihce. If he could whittle like old Gen.
SAM HousroN, he could white one out in
few minutes with iacllknifc. II he
cannot whttlc, let him draw his plan
quickly with a pen, or common lead
pencil On the whole, perhaps the draw
ing would answer just rs well as the build
ing itself for the confinement of the pris-
oners; and ms the drawing need not cost
over cent, q net saving of ninety whine
dollars and ninety-nine cents would thus
be effected 10 every county in the State.

Republicans Fighting Retrenchmcnt.

The West Point Appropriation bill was
the first of the measures of retrcnchment
which passed the House of Representa-
tves, and therefore il is the first before
the Senate for consideration. II was called
up last Friday, and led to a long and sharp
discussion during the entire sitting The
Committee on Appropriations reported
amendments restoring the reductions made
by the House, and the issue is now squarely
presented Of economy on the one hand and
of extravaganza on the other
The debate, which took a wide range on
the general subject of reduction of the
public expenditures, turned upon the sala-
ries for the nine chief professors at the
Military Academy. 1t was commended,
first that they We're officers Of the army,
and therefore their pay could not be dis
turbed IN such bill. That plea had To be
abandoned, when II was found that with
single exception they were civilians, and
only held rank assimilatcd to that OF
colonies aud lieutenant-cOlOnels. When
this preteXt was exposed, then the cham
pions OF extravaganza asserted that the
salaries were inadequate to the service
rendered, aud To cut them down would be
was answered by showing that under the
bill of the House four of these professors
would receive $500 each and five of them
$1,000 each, in addition to which they are
provided with houses rent free, fuel, light,
medical attendance, and schools for their
children. At Yale the professors receive
5000 year, at Harvard $500 a year, and
at Amherst $4,000 IL year, without any of
those extras which at West Point repre-
sent fully $1,000 year In money value, aud
perhaps more.
1t is thus seen that no Injustice OF any
kind is committed IN the proposed reduc-
ton. But this is not all. While Republic
can Senators were assaiing the proposition
10 ecOnOmize as foreign to the bill, ana an
Irregular assault on the established pay of
the army, it was found, by reference to the
Revised Statutes, that the pay of these very
professors had been Increased on the Mill
tary Academy Appropriation act Of Feb.

and plumber All the House, therefore,
