From the N. Y. Independent |
Convict Slavery.

The Democratic legislature Of Mis-
sissippi has invented very ingenious
process for lodging the operation Of
the Thirteenth Amendment-at least,
in part. This amendment provides
that neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for
crime, whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States or any place subject
to their Jurisdiction" This does not
forbid involuntary servitude "as a
punishment for crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted. "
The State has the right to deprive
convicted criminals Of their liberty,
and compel them to work, as a means
of their own discipline, and also as a
method of obtaining compensation for
the expense of their support. 1t is no
purpose of the Thirteenth Amend
ment to abridge or interfere with this
right.
Now, the legislature of Mississippi,
in an act professedly designed to re-
duce 'the judiciary expenses" Of the
State, has provided that all persons
who may be committed to county
jails, with the exception of those COM
mitted for contempt of court, shall be
placed in the hands of labor-contract-
ors, to work on farms and in other
forms of manual labor. These con-
tractors take possession Of the con-
victs, feed them and clothe them, gov
nrn them nuniSh them for anv acts of
disobedience, fix their hours and times
of labor, imprison them, and, indeed,
stand in the relation of the State to
them. The convicts are delivered over
to the contractors and, so to speak,
taken off the hands of the State.
Where the sentence involves both fine
and Imprisonment, and the convicts
are unable to pay the fine, the fine is
to be worked out, after the expiration
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-12-04

of the term of imprisonment, at the
rate Of twenty-five cents day. The
law provides also that the expense of
the prosecution and the cost Of keep
ing the persons in jail before the trial
shall be worked out at the same rate;
and if the convicts are unable to work,
by reason of sickness, then after their
recovery they are to make up for such
lost time by working just double the
time so lost.
It should be observed that this law
relates only to those who are sentenc-
ed to imprisonment in county jails,
and, hence, applies only to those who
have been guilty of minor offenses.
The graver crimes are punished in the
penitentiary. 1t is easy to see that, if
administered in a community opposed
to the freedom of the colored man, as
I is undoubtedly the fact with the great
mass of the white people of Mississip-
pi, the law is capable of the most
monstrous abuses against the Negroes
of that State. Indeed, it may be made
the instrument of establishing sys-
TEN of slavery quite as bad, if not as
extensive, as that which the Thir-
teenth Amendment abolished. The
white people of Mississippi, by their
shotgun policy and their system of
terrorism, have absorbed and concen-
trated in themselves the whole politi-
cal power Of the State. They make
the laws and execute them, and the
Negro is politically a cipher, without
protection except such as they choose
to afford. They are not friendly to
his freedom, and would re-establish
slavery, without any disguise, if they
had the power.
Now, under this law, the reality of
slavery may be established to a fear
full extent, under the pretext of pun
ishing crime. Negroes may be arrest
ed for minor statutory offehses dis
orderly conduct, drunkenness, vagran-
cy, and various forms of petit larceny
and fined and sentenced to imprls-
onment in county jails. The moment
they are thus fined, or imprisoned, or
both, the new law takes hold of them
and hands them over to the labor con-
tractors, who have no interest in them
except to get as much labor out of
them as they can, at the least possible
cost to themselves. Once under the
operation of the law, then the Negroes
have not only term of imprisonment
to work out, but all costs and fines to
work out at the rate of twenty-five
cents day, besides working two days
for every day that they are sick. 1t
is quite true that the law does not ex-
clude white men from it's application
or in form make any discrimination
against Negroes; yet its administra-
ton is solely in the hands of white
men, and these white men are hostile
to Negro freedom.
We regard this law as in itself the
very worst phase of the Southern idea
of farming out the labor of convicts.
The system is bad one anywhere;
and in such community of white
men as Mississippi furnishes, with all
the political power in their hands and
with long-cherished hostility to the
freedom of the colored man, it opens
the way for terrible abuses in respect
to the latter. The Negroes are the
class endangered by it; and in respect
to them it supplies a mode of eyading
the spirit without violating the express
letter of the Thirteenth Amendment.

IScientific American
Attraction,

In looking over the early volumes O.
the Scientific American, a few day
ago. the memories of the past wer
wildly brought to mind by reading
the following poetry, which appeared
in the first column Of the first issue o.
this paper, dated August %, 1915
We wondered as we read this hov
many of our present patrons remem
Der reading the effusion when it frs
appeared:
Attraction is a curious power,
That none can understand;
Its influence is everywhere
In water, air, and land;
1t keeps the earth compact and tight,
AS AS though @ - strong bolts We're through it;
1t binds US mortalS to it.
You throw stone up in the air,
And down it tcomeS-ker-whack;
The centrifugal casts 1t up
The centripetal-back.
My eyes! can't discover how
One object tracts another;
Unless they love each other, like
A sister and brother.
know the compass always points
Directly to the pole:
Some of the North Star causes this,
And some say-Sylnn's Hole!
Perhaps it does-perhaps it don't;
Perhaps some other cause;
Keep on perhapsing-who can solve
Attractions hidden laws?
A fly lights on 1asses cup
Attraction bids him WOO it;
And when he's in, attraction keeps
The chap from padding through it.
Attraction lures the sot to drink,
To all his troubles drown;
But when his legs give way, he falls,
And traction keeps him down.
Attraction is a curious power,
That none can understand;
Its influence is everywhere
In water, air, and land,
1t operates on everything
The sea, the tides, the weather.
And SometimeS draws the sexes up,
And binds them fast together.

When the Yankees
Burn their battle-fags,
Pull down their Linkhorn monu-

Repeal their war legislation,
And confess that they were wrong,
wrong and forever wrong, and the
South was right, right and forever
right,
We may ooNDEsCEND to forget
their treason.
