A STATE Work HOUSE Much has
been said and written both in favor Of
and IN opposition to, the project of es-
tablishing Werk House in this State
for the reformation and punishment of
convicted criminals, and as q bill is
now pending before the General As
ssmbly having for its object the estab-
lishment of such house it becomes the
people to give the matter their earnest
consideration. The condition of our
convicts and the expense Of their main
tainance has long been a subject of
much discussion aud solicitation aud
the Work House project has long been
advocated BY many persons as the best
means Of accomplishing the desired
ends 1t is argued by its friends that
house in which the convic;s would be
taught, and forced to work at, some
useful trade would accomplish the two
fold object Of making the prisoner aid
in maintaining himself and Of giving
bim a means of earning an honest live
lihood after his term sf Imprisonment:
shall have expired. which would be a
powerful assistant in bis reformation
On the other hand it is conteudsd that
Work House would prove an elephant
aud that the expense of sustaining it
would far out weigh any advantages to
be derived from it For our own part
we doubt not that such an establish
ment would be Of great advantage in
the reformation of criminals and in
other ways, but whether it would be
wise or expedient to attempt to estab-
lish such an institution at time OF
such general financial depression and
stagnation Of Business as the present is
a question on which We are not SO well
satisfied.

re ELEcToRAL COUNT.

The Electoral tribunal, having made
its decision ID regard to the vote ci
Florida, the two Houses re-assembled
in Joint convention on Friday last, when
the report was formally made. As Wai
anticipated, objection was made to re-
ceiving it, and the tive Houses separa-
ted to vote upon the objection. Ast
result, the Senate voted to accept the
decision, and the House to reject it.
The objection not being sustained BY
both Houses the decision must stand,
and Florida goes fer Hayes.
The joint convention again assembled
on Monday, and after hearing the re-
ports of the action Of each House in re-
gard to Florida, proceeded uninterruPt-
edly with the count until Louisiana was
reached. Three certificates Of alleged
electors-twO of republicans. and one OI
democrats we're presented, beside bo-
gus one, which created considerable
amusement in it's reading Of course
objections we're made by the democrats
to the Hayes electoral votes, and BY the
republicans to the Tilden electoral
votes. The matter, with the certificates
and papers. was then referred to the
Electoral Commission, and the cUnven-
tion was dissolved, each House return
ing to its chamber.
The Commission having assembled,
the democrats, through their counsel,
ex-Senators Carpenter and Trumbull,
again made formal demand fer the ad-
mission Of evidence, accompanying their
demand with most powerful arguments
in sustsntation Of it The republican
counsel opposed it. The decision was
not rendered up to yesterday morning
but has probably been reached BY this
time.

REPRESENTATIVE PuRMAN.

Democrats should not be unduly ella
ted over the speech of Representative
Purman, recently made in the House,
on Florida and the election in that
State Mr.. Purman belongs to that
species of the genus homo, yclept "car-
pet bagger," and like Chamberlain and
Kellogg. be is very radical ofradicals.
Seeing an opportunity for such as be in
the PHOSPHATE and oppressed condition
Of the Southern white people, and hop
ing, BY imposition upon the credulity
and ignorance of the negroes, to be able
to succeed in elcvating himself to po-
sitiou to which be could never have at
tanned in bis northern home, he migra-
ted to Florida from the North shortly
after the war, and at once entered the
arena of politics Being glib Of tongue,
and possessed of considerable share Of
natural smartness and cunning. be sue
ceeded in gaining a prominence among
his colored associates, and at length was
chosen by them, as their representative
10 Congress Nothing was ever too de-
grading, too low, too dishonest or dis
honorable, or too shameful for this dis
ciple of Oliver Morton and VIM. Pitt
Kellogg to be guilty Of SO that bis ends
we're accomplished One of bis favor
ite hobbies was to abuse the whites and
to sndeavor to stir up and keep alive
animosity and strife between them and
the negroes. He has been known to
address crowd of negroes for hours at
time, depicting to them the terrible
wrongs" they have suffered from the
whites and advising them to be re-
venged. So violent and bitter we're bis
denunciations that the negroes them
selves often said they wondered the
white people did not kill him" Such
is the man who has just become noto-
rious for bis Outspoken and manly ~
denunciatiOn of the injustice done to his
state BY the Electoral Commission. and
honest (?) declaration Of bis belief that
Florida was carried by the democrats
We do not dispute what Mr. PurmaD
has said, and hope that every word of
it may be true Mr. Furman is not the
only one who believes that Florida was
carried by the Democrats, and had the
Electoral Commission permitted evi
dence to be brought before them. they
might have believed so too. But while
our desires and inclinations would lead
US to believe the announcements made
by Mr. Purman. We would rather have
it confirmed by some other and better
source A qualm Of conscience may
have seized upon him and induced him
to speak out in meeting and confess the
aims of others, but it is rather unusual
and somewhat unnatural for a carpet
bsgger to be honest and conscientious.
and We would much prefer that Mr.. Pur-
man should be put upon the probation
ary list, and kept there for some time.
10 order to give bis designs q chance to
become developed. We don't want to
see democrats attach their faith to car
pet-baggers' coat tails. no matter what
their professions may bs.

Returning Board was confirmed in an
important particular. A witness testi-
fed to hearing Wells, President of the
Board, say to Little6eld. that no mat
ter If the Democrats had a hundred
thousand majority. the State would be
given to Hayes The clsarest exposi-
ton Of the Florida frauds was made
yesterday 10 the House. by Represen-
tative Purman, radical republican o.
that State. His very full consideration
of the case, exposing what be claimed
we're frauds oD both sides, was listened
to With attention, and will be published
for general circulation He says the
State went for Tilden by nearly 1000
majority In the Senate yesterday,
(13th. a petition was presented asking
for law allowing any one to use any
patented invention after giving a bond
for the protection Of the inventors
money rights The credentials Of D D.
Corbin as Senator from South Carolina
were passed He was elected BY the
rump legislature Of that State The
Senate also passed House bill to remove
the Political disabilities of Reuben
Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis.
Beyond passing a bill to encourage
telegraphic communication between
America and Europe the House did
no business.
By change in the rules Of the House
made yesterday, that body can now GO
on with legislative business during the
session Of the Electoral Commission
1t is to be hoped that matters Of small
importance only will be finally disposed
Of, as no legislative body can be in
suitable temper for the transaction ol
its legitimate business, while its mem
bers aud its proceedings are under in
tense excitement concerning other
matters.
The incoming of Lent will stop at
once the social gaYeties, such as they
have been, Of the winter. The thea
tres will thrive however. especially as
we are now getting better plays and
better actors than for years.
A poor farmer out in California has
Just been arrested for writing to Secre-
tary Chandler an offer Of $500 to de-
eide speedily, and in favor of one Of
the contestants, a disputed land case
The Secretary promptly exposed the
man 1t is a violation Of law to at
tempt to bribe public officer, and the
Secretary did right But he is the
same Secretary who. in defiance Of law
put his heavy hand upon every officer
Of the Government and forced from
all of them contributions for the sup,
port of the Republican ticket in No
vember last Let US hope that the OBJ
seure and ignorant border farmer will
be punished according to Law. and then
let US labor for law which can be ex-
ecuted against the rich as well as the
poor.
Short sighted people are Objecting to
the expenditures Of more monev in the
investigation Of affairs in the Southern
States. nov that the Presidential ques-
tion has been taken from Congress.
Upon reflection. people will see that a
thorough exposure of the process BY
which Florida's and Louisiana's votes
we're manipulated BY the State authori-
ties will be the best measure to prevent
the repetition of such villanies.
The party that attempts hereafter to
profit by the use Of such men as Wells,
will be defeated in advance. DBM

Too good, too fair, too pure for US,
But when keen anguish pierces thus,
The bleeding heart will faint
And we must uadly wish awhile
That she could barter for our smile
The palm-branch of the saint.
We cannot say we feel it best
That she was taken from our breast,
While such hot pulses stir
And thinking of the new-turned sod,
We cannot, all at once, thank God,
That he has gathered her.
We can but look with bitter tears
Backward and forward Ger the years,
Gods will our life has crossed
We can hut let that will be done,
We can but pray that she has won
Far more than we have lost.
God may be good to US, and give
Such comfort as will let US live
In peace from day TO day;
But joy will only dawn that hour
Wherein we see our precious mother
