tors for the convict labor at Windsor,

peared that when the present FIVE
years. contract was made the Massa-
chusetts convicts at Charlestovn were
let at 81 to $1.15 per day, while now

In Yesterdays SENTINEL appeared a
Washington dispatch intimating the
probability of the transfer of troops
from General Sheridan's department
to Louisiana and Mississippi to work
with the Deputy Marshals there in
controlling the elections. 1t stated
that Senator West had expressed the
opinion that with such help these
States could be carried for the Repub-
licat electoral tickets, and upon that
representation Secretary Chandler had
advised that similar orders be issued
a. had been sent to South Carolina.
We could not believe that it was seri-
ously intended to draw upon tile In
dian campaign reserve of troops, al
ready more than sufficiently depleted,
to send them to a couple of States
where no disturbances existed which

believed the dispatch to be a canard
and so expressed ourselves in our edi-
uorial comments. Uur dispatches to-
.lay, however, confirm the predictions
In yesterdays dispatch, 10 the effect
that al early report of outrages might
be expected from those States which
would serve as Il basis for a proclaIna-
ton and the transfer of troops. AS
will be seen by our dispatches to day,
the predicted reports have arrived and
appearances indita ale that the balance
of the programme will be carried
out in its regular order. The Repub-
lican leaders have evidently deter
inined to make good their losses in the
Northern States by bayonst elections
in the South, and South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana have been Sc
looted as the sources from which
the requisite electoral votes are to be
derived. We are forced to the conclu-
Son that this is the intention OF the
Federal authorities and that they will
carry out their prosramme-if they
can.
