Jesse POmerOy was to-day transfer
red from the Boston Jail to the state
prison in Charleston, the institution
which Gov. Rice has designated as his
future home during the balance of his
life. A room in the upper arch of the
prison has been especially prepared for
the young fend. Over it is the hospi-
tai, and under it is the store-house.
The entrance to the arch is from a
landing from the hospital Stairs, access
to which can be obtained from the
yard by opening a heavy iron door.
and also from the lower corridors of
the west wing by means of a wooden
door, which is always kept locked
when no. used. At the landing is an
other heavy iron door, which on being
opened reveals dimly-lighted hall
way, on each side of which are seven
rooms of cells. In the furthest room
from the entrance on the southerly
side of the wing is the apartment pre-.
pared for PemerOy. Ii is nine feet
long, eight feet wide and seven
high. lighted by two crevises, each
two feet long and six inches wide,
which are not grated. The door is a

A Few Facts.

F rom Harpc,'s Weekly.
The attitude and conduct of every
public man of this generation, when
the existence of the government and
human liberty itself were in peril, can
not be an obsolete question. There
are, indeed, present issues which are
and pressing but they
can be dealt with more wisely and fifty
by honest and experienced men, who
were instinctively true and loyal to
the country and its cause throughout
the war. 1t is not necessary that a
s:reformer" of to-day should have been
a s:Copperhead' OF yesterday, while
the Copperhead would desire nothing
more earnestly than that political and
patriotic memories should not extend
further than two or three years. The
war, indeed, is happily over, despite
such constant and skillful hostility as
that of Mr.. Tilden, but there are ques-
tions which the WAY has left that can
rot be treated safely and wisely by l
party and politicians who neither up.
proved the war nor sympathiZed with
reconstruction A Democratic restOra-
ton, with a candidate who was not
even ''war Democrat" would be
reaction which, as it is not necessary
to any reform or measure of progress,
we believe patriotic country Will
think long before it decrees.
I, for one, am not willing to transfer
the great power Of the government
from the hands which have held and
supported it to the hands still reeking
with the blood of it's brave defenders.
I do not stand here to defend
everything that the Rep'lbli'
can party has done; but when the
Democratic party is held up as the
+ S2,arty Of reform, am reminded Of the
Iecripit old lion in the fable, who
sought to gain by strategy what he
could not gain by strength. The spir-
4 and tendency of the Republican par
ty is toward reform. tits still worthy
of confidence, and though l am not
willing to throw up the party, l am
willing to expel those men who have
used the party for their own evil ends.
I accept the Republican party because
