RAILROAD WAR.
Sharp Practice Frustrated-The Der,
nier ResOrt-Ready for Fight.

TRENTON, n. j., January 6-Fnr
some time past the Pennsylvania rail-
road company has kept an engine on
the track at Hopewell to prevent the
Delaware and Bound Brook railroad
csmpauy from laying their frog and Sc
curing a crossing, On the approach of
trains the engine has been run on the
siding, rasuming its former place when
tae trains had passed. Last eyenings
- soon as the engine passed on 20 the
siding, about two hundred laborers in
the employ Of the Delaware and Bound
Brook railroad suddenly appeared, and
lore up the siding and built temporary
structure to enable them to go on with
their work, The Pennsylvania railroad
officials being informed of the act, tent
an engine TO break through this tenn
porsry structure, but in doing SO 1t ran
of the track and was knocked down the
hill. In the meantime the frog was put
down, and Bound Brock engine placed
or it and chained down to the ties with
immense chains, and q barricade Of
rails and wood built around it. The ex-
oitement became intense, and five hun
dred people were on the ground this
morning.

During the past week about two hum
dred colored people have migrated from
Rutherford to Arkansas and northern
Mississippi. One hundred and fifty had
their way paid by negro who had for
merly worked among them. When he
presented himself in full suit of cloth,
with bis hands III his breeches pockets,
with gold fob-chain and q heavy seal
dangling from his vest pool ket, displayed
a big roll Of greenbscks and said-"Em.
igrAte!" all the one hundred and fifty
joined in the chorus and went west.
Many assert that such emigration will
be beneficial to Rutherford county, be-
cause 1t would, with surplus negro labor,
continue to raise cotton when it ought
to ra'ss cereals, grasses, hogs, cattle and
sheep. There are others, however, who
maintain that the loss of labor will
greatly affect the productive capacity OF
the county, unless counterbalanced by q
supply OF white labor. It is a subject
which must soon become one OF much
interest should the exodus OF blacks

one, as the sultan has to make q large

WEssoN. Miss, Feb. p, 1876.
/ Dedicated to Mr.. Allen, Chairman OF SEN
/ ate Committee, and Mr.. Powell, Chair
man of House Committee on Penitentia-
ry.
The cheapest and best reformatory pun
/ ishment for criminals is the great problem
OF the age. Most of the States have adopted
i the penitentiary system, amongst them our
own; but still the cheapest and best man
agement of penitentiary is involved. How
snail we manage ours TO make il seli-sus-
tanning, or as near 50 as possible . And rhc
next question is, which is the greatest OBJ
lcct, to reform criminals, or save money !
II saving money is the greatest object, then
We may forget the reformation, but il the
reformation Is the greatest object, then the
punishment should bear some proportion to
the crime, should be measured by the crime
rs near as possible. Then petty larceny
should not be penitentiary otlense ii we
can establish any other punishment ade-
quate to the crime. The length of time
does not measure the degrees of punish
mept.
His Honor, the Mayor of Jackson. deals
with offenders every day. Some he COM
mits to jail, who ultimately 90 TO the peni-
tertiary. Some he condemns to work the
streets. The streets 0rker serves out his
time and goes home perfect citizen. But
II he had been serving the same number OF
days IN the penitentiary, lac would have
forfeited his citizenship. But there is anoth-
qutSilOH llNOlNcu III TINS debate. me NOR
at ofthe crime is measured blythe intellectual
responsibility of the criminal. An idiot
cannot be guilty of a crime-then the de
gree of crime must be measured by the in
telligence of the criminal. And again, as
you add Ignorance to the body polite, YOU
must graduate the degrees of punishment,
il you cannot make an idiot equally respou-
sible with wise man for committing the
same act.
Now, then, If our State maintains its pen
itentiary system, there must be some new
arrangement made. Ii some poor ignorant
negro, who has not the moral status of an !
intellectual man to guide him. should steal
five cents worth of craekers and cheese,is he !
guilty To the extent of a forfeiture OF his !
and given time of servtude In !
the penitentiary. And this applies just the |
same to the white man. Now we are com |
ing down TO the point. | claim that wet
should punish criminals according 10 the |
intellectual capacity, as well as intent To !
commit the crime, Then if we were to |
follow the example of his Homer the Mayor !
of Jackson, we condemn criminals for all |
minor otfenses, to work a given time, uc- |
cording ID the turpitude of his crime, on !
the levee, or some public works without |
forfeiture of his citizenship, as is now the |
case. | Will discuss the subject tomorrow. !
