! Pursuant to the call of Coal. Patton,
! ple>t., the State Central Committee
of the Democratic party will meet in
New Orleans on the fist day of May
next. This will be really the first
step in the coming camrai ~, and an
! important step it is too. if wo consl-
der 1t in the full scope OF its bearing
upon the momcntons questions that
Will DC involved in the contest of next
fall. Among other points for their
consideration will be that of the call
ing of convention of the Democratic
party, and if it were not for some in
timatonS of Il disposition to ignore
this question, too plain to be miScon-
strned, we should certainly deem it
unnecessary to al]udc to the subject.
We take it rs conceded PROPOSE
ton, that the Democracy have suffer-
cd sufficient humiliation at the hands
of venal and cowardly allies. in being
Saddled with the responsibility of the
miserable and ,lisgraccfnl failure of the
legislature to achieve those great
measures Of true reform to which the
great Democratic party, with its econ
scrvative' ally WAS pledged in the
late grand contest which resulted in
the wrestling of the State government
from the hands of the carpet. baggers
and placing it in the keeping of our
own people.
All tho odiam of these failures,
though not in Justice responsible for
them, will be hurled upon her with
all the might of partisan hate, in
justice and rancor she will be held
accountable for the mis0ccds of men
who though with her, were not of
her." and those who seek her down.
fall will not fail to avail themselves
of the opportunity thus offered, to &C
complish her ruin.
We will not suppose that any one
is so blind as not to he able to clearly
see where the blame rests. This
question we will NOT here discuss. It's
enough to know that the Democratic
party will be made to suffer from the
delinquencies of protessed friends, or
to express it perhaps moro plainly,
she is reaping now, the first fruits of
that fatal step when, to mollify a
miserable minority of mal.contents
whose generous and patriotic ULTIMA.
TUM was, "Go with US, or WE go with
the ENEMY" she allowed herself to be
forced into a political partnership
that has tbwartel we'll nigh every
measure she has proposed for the re-
lief of the people, and has endeavored
even to compass her destruction. In
view of this state of affairs, we demand
for the people of West Feliciana, that
the convention be called, and at an
early day as possible, that the great
Simon pure, "dyeI in the WOOL De-
mocracy of the State may assemble
in council denounce and rcpudiate the
failures and follies of recent legisla-
ton, announce its platform of ptinci
pies and put men upon the platform
who will battle for those principles
through thick and thin, until they are
vindicated and established. Let the
Committee call the Democracy in
council.

worst vigors but to horrors that the outside

worst yigors but to horrors that the outside
world can have no conception of. The old
adage that stone walls have ears hes no
hearing in such cases, for if penitentiary walls
have ears they dare not give utterance to
what transpires behind them. The guard
has absolute control over the man. If the
man complains, the guard has but to say
that he is desperate fellow, and whatever
barbarities may have been committed in
the name of justice will be condoned. The
word of a convict as against the word of his
keeper goes for naught.
The possibility of the commission of
crime under the cover of prison discipline
is of itself temptation to commit it. The
fact that detection-or at least conviction
is next to impossible, gives to men naturally
brutal an immunity from punishment that
is Of itself fascinating, and to some minds
irresistible. These considerations are APP
parent every one, and ought to have an
influence in shaping legislation bearing on
the question of prison discipline. Leaving
all considerations of the truth or falsity of
Mr.. Coffees statement out of the question,
there is no doubt but the mater requires o
careful investigation. A thorough inspec-
ton Of the State peniientiary is needed; and
if the guards or deputies are found arbitrary
or lacking in the qualities that should char
acterize such officials, they should at least be
removed. The people will demand this.

History of Goodhue Co,.nt,,.

We have received new work entitled a
"History of Goodhue County," Min
nesota. published by Messrs. Wood, Alley &,
Co., of Red Wing. 1t presents very neat
typographical appearance, bound in half mo-
rocco, royal octave size, embracing 664
pages. The book is full of valuable histori-
cal matter, of local and general character,
Including much statistical information. 1t
contains we'll written history of the county,
personal sketches of her representative men.
a carefully prepared geological chapter, &C. u
plets county war record, and a full history of
each township, city, village, church and ed
ucational institution in the county.
In addition, her manufacturing enterprises
are carefully described, and in fact, ali her
other industries are represented in the work.
Great credit is due to the publishers for the
care and labor they have expended in pre-
pairing volume of so much real worth. and
we feel warranted in asserting that it is the
best historical work published in the State.
1t contains a long catalogue
Of personal sketches of noted
persons and representative men of the
county, together with life-like illustrations
of many of her prominent citizens. The
book is handsomely bound, we'll written and
compiled, and it will form an important

TIE SUPPLEMENTAL RETURN.
Mr.. Gilman said he had just discovered
the fact that in the supplemental return
from the third precinct of the Fourth ward,
the officers of the election had made two re-
turns, the clerk refusing to sign that made
by the judges, and making affidavit that
some 400 more votes were cast IN the pre-
clnct for Mr.. Donnelly, as shown by his
original tally sheet, than returned by the
other members of the board.
Mr. Flandrau then took up the returns
and read them, which sustained Mr.. Gilman's
statement.
In answer to an inquiry, it was stated that
the returns from Cass county, not received
at the previous session of the board, had
been received. They were opened by the
board, when Mr.. Gilman announced he ob-
jected to their reception unless it could be
shown the county was attached to some
organized county for election purposes.
This concluded the objections and argu-
ment thereon, and without any consultation,
or ado of any kind, the board proceeded to
canvass the returns objected to, commencing
with Big Stone, and SO on down through the
list. When the return from Polk and Kit
son was reached, the board made calcula
ton OF the vote in Kittson and exercised the
Judicial power of giving the two counties a
certain proportion of the vote sent up
in lump by the local returning board.
1t again exercised its judicial power in the
case OF Traverse, by rejecting the return.
Inc county gave ten votes for Washburn
and nine for Donneliy. Having go. in all
the votes returned, except those from Ira
verse, including the Hennepin supplement
| tails, the clerks went to work and figured up
the totals. This done, Gov. Pilsbury read
Off the totals of the vote in each district, as
they appear below, declared the result
and the board adjourned.

THE PENITENrxABF ENLARGEMENT

TIE PENITENTLABY ENLARGEMENT.
Whether or not the statement of Mr. Pat
rick Coffee, published in the GLOBE of yes
terday, is categorically true, there is suffi-
cient in his story to awaken an interest in
the condition of convicts generally. When
man is sent to prison for crime he sun
ders all social relations. He becomes, in
fact, an outcast. But it does not follow as
natural sequence that he is dead to all hu-
name 8, mpathies, and becomes brute. He
is endowed by nature with all the qualities
that characterize human kind in general. He
appreciates good or does not appreciate bad
treatment He acknowledges the fact that
in prison he need not expect to receive the
treatment that would be given him abroad,
but he is keenly alive to injustice, no matter
from what source it proceeds.
Another fact might as we'll be borne in
mind. Prison officials have to deal with
many desperate characters, and often have to
resort to extreme measures to bring them
into subsection to prison discipline. The
natural result is that the officials named
come to look upon all prisoners as desperate
haracters, and treat them accordingly. BY
association with criminals they become
brutal, and perhaps unconsciously drift into
q systematic course of brutality that leads to
excess. good man, placed in charge of a
lot of criminals, might commit excuses that,
if exposed to the gaze of the public, would
appear atrocious, while he might be uncon-
scious of the fact that he was brutal, and be
sincere in his convictions.
The fact remains, however, that prison
discipline needs reformation. A convict is
absolutely at the mercy of his keeper. He
slay be as harmless and inoffensiye as man
can be, but il his guard has g spite against
him he can be subjected not only to the

Tom Browne-not of Rugby, but of In
