WHEELING, February l..
To hire the conyicts OF this state to
build railroads or make iNy kinds OF im-
pruvementS in which contractors take
part, brings them in direct competition
with the daily labOrcr who has no trade.
What 10 do with the cunvicts is the
question. our counties Is rule are too
poor To build good roads, To afford an
outlet for our produce hv river or rail,
vet asystem OF such roads, or to improve
those already partially made, would be
ut great benefit not only To the counties
in which the road is made. but to the
State at large.
Now, in order to commence thorough
and practical system of building
good roads throughout the State,
let our Legislature pass an act
To assign all our prisoners, who can be
worked op outside labor, to build such
roads, and in order to sItiSfy.all sections,
let the State purchase three sets of tools,
machinery, etc, in short, everything
good contractor provides himself with
for building such roads, aud give each
one Of the Congressional districts full

the State to furnish the prisoners and
yIotl., s,uu s,,.,,d ti.y.-,. M ii.
through which they build roads to
furnish the subsistence fur guards and
prisoners and To furnish the raw
material ior building said road. In
this way We will use the prison
rrs ON class Oi work that
comes in competition with no one from
the tact that it Is Il work that no one Will
undertake. There is only certain
class ui prisoners who can be used on
outside labor, those who have a short
sentence. Those who have been sen
fenced for six or eight years and have
only Il short time To serve etc, Just aS
they did on the James River canal IN
virginia. The writer has seen six and
even ten prisoners in a squad all 10y
themselves, do Just as they please with
out any guard being with them, rom
the TACT they were what is termed
"trustics," it being To the inter
est of the prisoner 10 serve
out his full term. We can usually
have nom one hundred To one hundred
and tiitv persons who can be put on this
kluu pl WORK. lpNIlt lltll ptNNNNh wv
three districts ui our State, furnish them
with steam stone breakers and good
tools, and let each district lay oft a route
to build Il good road from some point ON
the river to the railroad, submit the
samc to the Board Of Public Works, AMI
when approved 10y them let the State
furnish thcprisuncrs and tools, the coun-
ties the grub and raw material, and IN
ten years We will have many good roads
between the Ohio river and q. Il q. Il.
L., at a small expense, giving employ
mcnt L. our state prisoners without in

building and making gond improvements
in each district that will be OF lasting

expense. Your friend,

State, and her most wealthy and impor-
tant manufacturing centre, would be
placed at the maximum of charges, for
she furnishes but about one-twentieth
OF the local traffic in the State; and as
that traffic could not justly be made sub
servient to hers, hers must be to it.
This sweeping bill would
tie Wheeling, and the i'm
mense trade from the river, down
below the level of the smallest hamlet in
the State on the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio road.
Mr.. Johnson had, with apparently
great eagerness and delight, read from
statistical tables comparison OF the
local rates of the Baltimore and Ohio,
the New York Central, New York and
Erie, and Atlantic and Great Western
roads. He admitted that there was
difference in favor of these lines. But
the New York Central road is the finest
line in America. 1t has for its terminus
New York City, andruns along the Hud-
son through one uninterrupted village
to Albany, and from there through
country to Buffalo and the
lakes. Besides, the people had gone to
a greater expense than was put upon
the entire Il. x o. road from Baltimore
to Wheeling, than was spent in excavat-
ing on the Pacific road from Omaha to
San Francisco, than would be required
TO build the pyramids of Egypt, to con-
struct a canal as a rival transportation
line to the railroad. This forced the
company down to low figures. The
Erie road had bankrupted half the
citizens along its line. II the Senate
prefers that kind of line to one that
has spent S37 100000 within the State
and owes no man one cent, then he
asked them to force his company down
to the ruinOusly low figures charged by
the Erie road Between the B. Il q.
and the Atlantic and Great Western
in tariffs, there is very mod
crate difference indeed when the two
in which the respective roads
are constructed are taken into considcra-
ton.
In conclusion, he only asked that the
Senate be not hasty in passing a law
that must either be imperative, or re-
suit in irrcparable injury to the COM
pany and to the people of the State.
