TIE NEW House, Washington, October
MIR. Adams, the clerk OF the last House
OF Representatives, has finally completed
his roll OF the members-elect, having come
to a decision in regard to several difficult
points only within the last few days.
1t is not improbable that in the call OF the
roll some exception may be taken to what
he has done, but it will have to stand for the
time being, and permanently unless re-
versed by the House after its organization
is completed.-Special to Baltimore Sun.
[The list gives good working majority
to the Democrats.

FARMvILLE, October s, 1877.
The Circuit Court is in session, and has
been engaged for two days in the trial OF
Tom Marshall (colored), charged with rape.
His victim was q white woman. The crime
was committed on the goth May, 1877. The
only question in the case arose from doubt
raised by the defence as to whether the ac-
cused was the party who perpetrated the
outrage. The Jury, of course, believed this
point sufficiently established by proof. The
verdict was "guilty," with twenty years i'm
prisonment in the pententiary. a part OF
the jury were at first for hanging. L.

GLOUCESTER COURTHOUSE, VA.,l


Yesterday was our County Court-day, and
there was a considerable crowd OF our citi-
Gems in attendance. Major vulasko Walden,
OF New Kent, and, Hon. B. F. Bland, the
rival candidates for the Virginia Senate, adj
dressed the people. A most anomalous state
OF affairs exists In. this senatorial district.
The counties Of Middlesex, Matthews,
Gloucester, and New Kent compose the dis
trict. At meeting some time previous to
the 18th OF September held at New Kent
Courthouse resolution was adopted asking
the other three counties to send delegates to
that place on the 18th Of September to nomi-
nate candidate for the Senate. Tie pro-:
ceedings OF that meeting were published in
the West. Point Star, but so far as ] can
hear MO other notification was given. The

least one pain which bescan't forget, ana
which he does not desire 10 know any more
except through his memory. Increase Tue
number OF rogues who have paid the PEN
atty at the whipping-post and the class ol
rascals will be decidedly improved iheS
are far preferable to the graduates % .ne
paepn,itertiary in every way.
The whipping.post would save the s'a'e
In two ways: First, BY diminishing 'ne
number OF criminals sent to the pehl1eh-
tiary: second, by diminishing the amount
q, crime. That excellent reformatory Wou'o
be worth more to the State than any Quiet
svstem OF "reform,' so called, that could
possibly be invented.
Mr. GRAY, OF Flufanna, who was o MEM
Der of the last Legislature, in letter to the
Charlottesville Jefersonian, alludes to a
proposition made by himself at the last ses-
sion with view to diminish the criminal
charges against the State. This proposition
was to establish chain-gang in every judi
cial circuit, and that this gang should be
employed in working on the roads and
bridges. He named the circuit because he
did not think that there would be enough
convicts in each county to justify the en-
ployment OF guard. In this way, he says
the roads would be kept in order ut little
expense, and the State would avoid tne COST
OF keeping the criminals.
The suggestion is good one outdoor
work is good for cherishing the humanity
Of rascals, while close confinement tends 10
diminish their sympathies and prompt their
minds to Matching evil and malignity. The
giraffe philanthropy which prompts klnd
people to think that teaching men in prison
trades is the way to reform them accom-
plishes little or no good. These pcniten-
tiary graduates seldom or never follow their
trades. Then, there is ever row amongst
mechanics, who rail about convict-work COM
ing in contact with "honest labor" and
the politicians are sure to make something
out OF that agitation. Now, il the very
bad rascals were given space and air, with
hammers to break stone for roads, or made
to pick oakum, this conflict would be
ended, and much money saved to the State.
II the destructive readiusters who oppose
all retrenchment and all increase OF the
revenue would cease to embarrass and VeX
the State by their vicious agitation to get
themselves into the Legislature, it would
be quite practicable to save considerable
amount Of money to the State by remodel
ling our system for Furnishing crime.
