THE STATE PENAL INSTITUTIONS OVERLOOKING

II he could suggest remedy for the apprehended
tingency Mr. Wagener replied that he thought the
exigences Of the occasion called for a legislative
revision OF the penal code and such altera
tions therein would consign prisoners found
guilty OF feones to the county ails and penten-
tiaries In other words that convlcts sentenced say
Tor less than three years should be made expate

this end he will endeavor, through the Inspectors, to
have the present Legislature pass authorizing
the erection Of strong wall around the prison Tho

Gen. Robert Lowry.

In answer to numerous inquiries we
will state that this favorite son of Mis-
sissippi has been prevented from attend
ing numerous meetings to which he has
been invited in consequence Of profess
sional engagements. The heavy bust
ness of the firm of Mayors & Lowry
(the former having been appointed to
the bench) has imposed upon him dou-
bic duty in the courts of his district. His
eloquent voice, however, will be heard in
the canVass. The people will always
know where to find him. He is no sun
shine soldier. When shadows and
darkness rested over our cause, and ii
seemed almost lost, he was one of the
faithful few" who bore its banner
bravely in the teeth of defiant and ex-
ultapt foe. 1t is needless to say now
while the f'tidal vays" is rolling, that,
though he may not be of the loudest, he
is one of the truest, as he is one of the
very ablest Of Mississippi's sons.

The charge that Radical EIector is a
defaulter to the Alcorn University fund
IS, we are confident, without foundation
in truth, as our cotemporary can easily
learn by reference to tie books of the
State Treasurer, if he will take the trouble
to examine them.-Jackson Times.
1t was in proof before the Legislative
committee last spring, that S. J. Ireland,
former Treasurer of Alcorn University.
and nOao Hayes and Wheeler Elector.
acknowledged to the lending of 81 $50 of
the funds of the University to the Repub-
lican State Executive Committee. An
examination of Ireland's account as Treas
urer, with the banking house of J. & T.
Green, by the same committee, showed
that Ireland frequently drew largely on
the University funds for purposes not
connected with Alcorn University, and
that Gen. DERRICK also borrowed various
sums out of the same funds.
We believe the investigation by the
committee resulted in getting Ireland to
pay over 81, $50 of the funds while the
investigation was progressing. This was
most likely the money he loaned the Re.
publican Executive Committee.

The $500 Matter.

The Times says that it was not men,
Der of the Republican Committee that
charged Mr. Musgrove with paying A.
K. Davis $500 to resign, as inadver-
tently stated by The CLARION. This is
mere play upon words. The charge
was made by f'anqtRer member" Of the
Republican party, who stands high with
the Administration. Then the question
arises who paid itF Did it pass through
his bank and was he cognizant of the
bribe when he accepted the Times
