The Penitentiary.
From the Gazette. ]

From the Gazcttc.l
 No institution IS of more impor tance to the State than her penal establishment. In Arkansas we have had long and varied expert ence in the management of our State Prison under many and differ ent plans. From the date of it's establishment till within a few years past it has been source of great annoyance and vexation to Legislatures and Governors, and Q heavy tax upon the people. Now that It has been made self sustain ing under the prudent management of the present lessee, Col. Ward, an immense load is lifted from the sht ulders of the taxpayers. It will be a matter of surprise to some when we tell them that the records show that in period of less than twenty-two months from 1871 to 1873 the sum of $390,000 was cx- pended on the Penitentiary. Now not dollar is paid by the State for the maintenance of the prison. It is objected that the convicts are allowed to work outside the prison walls, but the objector forgets that by this arrangement thousands of dollars are annually saved to the Stnte and the health, comfort, and habits of the convicts are materially improved. Under the olu manage ment scores of prisoners, doomed to solitary confinement within the prison walls, pcrished from the rust of inactivity. Sickness was much more common and disease more fatal. In a humanitarian view the present plan of working prisoners is decided advantage, while from financial standpoint the saving to the State is immense, as all the ex pense incurred in the erection of buildings which are necessary for the growing demands of the instltu- sion. There are now nearly five hundred convicts, comprising whites, Indians and negroes. The new building just completed is one of the best prison structures in the coun- try. It is, without doubt, tue best building, so far as strength and durability are concerned, Tn the State. The cells are much larger than those of the old building, while the ventilation, so necessary to the comfort and health of the inmates, is as perfect as it can be made. The prison discipline is strict and yet not too severe. The health of the convicts is carefully regarded, and the physician, Dr. Scott, IS ac- tive and efficient in the performance of his duties. The food prepared Is ample and wholesome. The bread is we'll made and the meats are fresh and we'll cooked. The friends of the prisoners, and public gener ally who feel an interest in these unfortunates, may rest assured that they pever suffer from lack of food.
 Take it all in all, the people have cause to congratulate themselves on the successful management of the Penitentiary. Heretofore it has been a source of heavy expense it is now entirely self-sustaining. Heretofore prisoners were locked up in solitary confinement, to become victims to despondency and disease; !; now they are made to earn their own living by their labor, which is decided improvement to their health and happiness, while the end of the law is attained in keeping them from being a prey to society.

Jim Thompson, the Grand Mogul of the band of horse thieves which has been infesting this county for so long, has at last been captured. Sev- eral indictments were found against him by the last grand jury of this county. At the time of the capture of Elder Wilson he made his escape, while in possession of stolen horses. His capture will contribute much to the final extermination and breaking up of the band.-Prescott Dispatch.
