themselves on their hubbishness, and

have rather a shoddy look. They affect
European Manners and fairly worship

and their one idea is elevation. Their
manners have not The repose of old Bos-
tor. They are fond Of society and am

there is in New Boston respectabil1ty

Dedicated to Mr.. Allen, Chairman of Sen
ate Committee, and Mr.. Powell, Chair
! man of House Committee on Pententia-
ry.
| The cheapest and best reformatory pun
! lShment for criminals is the great problem
of the age. Most of the States have adopted
the penitentiary system, amongst them our
own; but still the cheapest and best man
agement Otpenitentiary is involved. How
shall we manage ours to make it self-sus-
tanning, or as near so as pOSSible3 And the
next question is, which is the greatest OBJ
Ject, to reform criminals, or save money
If saving money is the greatest object, then
we may forget the reformation, but if the
reformation is the greatest object, then the
punishment should bear some proportion to
the crime, should be measured by the Grim e
as near as possible. Then petty larceny
should not be a penitentary offense if we
can establish any other punishment ade-
quate to the crime. The length Of time
does not measure the degrees of punish
ment.
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 street. worker serves out his
Time and goes home perfect citizen But
II he had been serving the same number of
days In the penitentiary, he would have
torielteu MS citizenship. But there is anOth-
erquestlon involved in this debate The NOR
al 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.
II you cannot make an idiot equally respOn-
slOle with wise man for committing the
same act.
Now, then, if our State maintains IFS mem
ltentiary system, there must be sone new
arrangement made. If some poor ignorant
negro, who has not the moral status of an
intellectual man TO guide him, should steal
i've cents worth of crackers and cheese is he
guilty to the extent of forfeiture of his
citizenship, and given time of seryitude in
the penitentiary. And this applies lust the
same to the white man. Now we are COM
ing down TO the point. | claim thar we
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 Honor the Mayor
OF jackson. we condemn criminals for all
minor otfenses, to work a given time. ac-
cording CO the turpitude of his crime. on
the levee, or some public works, without
of his citizenship, as is now the
case. will discuss the subject tomorrow.

shot through the window and killed by
some unknown assassin. This occurred
ON his farm, near Nashville, in Noxubee
