GEN. NICHOLAS SPEECH.

The speech Of Gen. Nichols at the
! Baton Rouge Convention, after receiv-
ing the nomination, and which our
neighbor, the Picdvtne. printed in
full yesterday morning, will commend
itself to every right thinking man In
Louisiana. The speech Is characterized
by no rhetorical graces, but It Is as full
II sound doctrine as any speech we ever
read. In brief, II expresses the senti-
ments and views Of patriot and a
1gentleman Of liberal and enlarged
views, and to those of our citizens who
are unacquainted with Gen. Nichols, It
will explain the enthusiasm with which
he was supported by his friends and
neighbors. The speech is a platform
In itself, which, IL carried out by Gen.
NICHOLS VI any one olss, will insure
)eace and give prosperity TO Louisiana.
In dozen words. Gen. Nichols ex-
pressed doctrine Of the highest i'm
portance to this people; doctrine
which, In fact, lies at the bottom OF all
sound governmental policy. a doctrine
! which the Radical party has constantly
ignored, and which the DE MocRAT has
time and again de clared it was the duty
81 public officials 70 pursue.
"If be elected Governor of this
State" said Gen. Nichols. IL shall
cease TO represent the Democratic party,
and be the representative of the peo-
ple-not Of one set, but the whole"
This is sound Democracy, sound
craftsmanship, and sound patriotism.
. No man con faithfully and wisely gov
srn a people In the interests of poll
tical party. or OF a particular class OF
che community. A candidate for Presi-
dent or for Governor will always be
the leader OF party, but the Presi-
don't or Governor Of State should be
inc faithful. impartial servant Of the
whole people. II Gen. Nichols shall be
elected Governor, we desire and expect
70 see him act up to this pledge. When
we have placed him in the gubernato-
rial chair. we hope and expect to see

the convention was opened with prayer by

Then BOSS Reyes, of New York, who had
come to ST. Louis with his wild Tammany
hordes to beat Tilden, gave In his adhesion

opposed Tilden in like manner gave pledges
to work for the ticket.
Then national committee was appointed
and a committee TO wait on Tilden and

A resolution abolishing the two-thirds rule

THE COUNTY BLACK HOLE.
1t Gets II Healthy Ventilation in the Circuit
Court.

The Statutes of this state, now in force,
provide:
SEC. /. "That there shall be kept and
maintained, in good and sufficient condition
and repair, a common Jail in each county
within this state, at the permanent seat of
justice for each county"
SEC. 2. "The Sheriff of each county in this
state shall be the keeper of the Jail of the
county, and have the custody of all prisoners
in such Jail"
SEC. II. "Debtors and witnesses shall not
be confined in the same room with persons
committed for crimes; male and female pris-
oners shall not be kept in the same room
minors shall be kept separate from notorious
other Infamous crime; and persons charged
with or convicted of an offense not infamous,
from those charged with or convicted of in
famous crimes"
SECS. IS, II, 10, 20, 81 and % provide that
prisoners shall be permitted 10 send for and
have any food, clothing, bedding or linen
they may desire for their comfort; that the
sheriff shall furnish necessary bedding,
clothing, fuel and medical aid for prisoners
shall keep the Jail clean and healthful, and
shall see that strict attention is constantly
paid to the personal cleanliness of all prison
ers corfined in the Jail.
SECS. 20 and 81 provide that the Grand
Jury at each term of court shall visit and IN.
spect the condition of the Jail, and make re-
port thereof to the court, and thatthe circuit
court shall enforce the duty of the grand
jury and cause copy of said report TO be
sent to the county clerk, who shall lay the
same before the county board at its next
meeting.
1t is not necessary to describe infinitely the
construction of our Jail at this time. The las,
report of the grand jury, published in the
county papers, gives correct description Of
its location and construction. 1t is Suffice nj
10 state here that It's entire situation and con.
structlon is such as to amount 10 a palpablo
and shameful violation Of every clause Of
the statute to which we have referred.
This disgraceful condition of the Jail rend
ers the punishment OF offenders almos
impossible, and the administration OF justic,
a farce. The length of time for which pris
oners are sentenced to this Jail Is from tee
to thirty days, whereas, if the Jail was 4
proper and lawful one, the same prisoner:
would no doubt be sentenced for a term o
from three months TO one year.
Every thinking man can see that in a coun
ty like this-a county about as large in ares
as the state of Rhode Island-and with q
population Of over seventy thousand people
the criminal laws can lot be carried iHtc
