From The Ciaricn.
The following correspondence
between the Executive officer of
the State Board Of Health and the
Attorney General settles the qucs-
tion Of the power of county aud

until it is overruled by the SUI
prcme Court, decides that the
power is ample. The Health Board
through its Executive officer SUBJ
mits the opinion to tho local
authorities in order that knowing
their authority, they may hold
themselves ready to execute it
whenever occasion arises.

Leasing convlcts.
Holly Springs SOUTH

.
As we have taken occasion to
say heretofore, the practice Of
leasing out penitentiasy conyicts,
besides facilitating escapes, furn-
ishes such motive for good treat
ment by contractors as takes away
the sanction Of the law in neces-
sary severity of punishment and
makes the pentcntiary no other
wise y terror to cvil-doers than
common plantation or other work.
Economically speaking alone, it is
a penny wise and pound foolish
policy. The Columbus Democrat
has the following:
"All over the State the press is
deuouncing the iniquitous practice
of W working prisoners by contract
outside the pcntcntiary walls. 1t
is a moci.ery Of justice and many
bclieve a huge job and swindlc
cnrichlng few at the expense oi
the taxpayers. Except when they
fall into the hand Of brutal over
secrs and guards who make the
life Of convicts they have in charge
q very hell on earth, the system,
to a majority Of tho convicts. has
more the semblance of plantation
life than punishment for crime. II
turns loose Oh society, by reason
Of tho facility IL offers for escape
scores Of the worst criminals
men guilty Of ofmurder, rape, arsor
and burgalry. The chief end q
imprlsonmcntis Is to protect society
from such pcrsons."

The Democratic Positlsn.

n. I. Herald.
The Democratic position on the
question of federal interference in
elections permits = great deal to
be said in IFS support. Since this
kind OF interference was never
thought necess1ey in the long
period between the organization
of the goverement in 1859 and the
passage of the federal election laws
IN 1870 the natural presumption is
against the necessity of these laws.
The policy Of non-intericrcnce
which prevailed for eighty years
has great weight OF precedent in
its favor. The Federal election
laws were certainlya a great inno-
vatiop on previous usage. 1t is
a well known fact that they were
prompted and inspired by the
New York election Of 1868, when
the Tweed Ring was triumphant
IN this city. But that memorable
election merely gave the control
of the State government to the
democrats, aud was of no impor-
.ance in connection with the choice
of members Of Congress. 1t was
asserted that Governor Hoffman
was elected by bogus votes and
false counting; but it was moi
asserted, and there was no ground
for asserting, that the members Of
Congress from this city were MOI
truly chosen. Now the Federal
election laws relate solely to tht
choice Of Congressman. There
was never q pretence, or the
shadow of pretencc, that demo
Gratis were elected to Congress
from this city in districts where
the republicans had majority
Such a pretence would have been
self-rcfuting in view Of the fac
thatthis city Is overwhelmingly
democratic, and would naturally
choose democratic Congrcssmel
| in any fair election Tho enact
ment Of a law which was noto
riously inspired be the New Yorl
election q 1868, aud which By IL
terms relates only to the clcctio
OF members of Congress, whc
there was no prctenco that an
democratic member rornthis cit,
was not truly clac,oa, bat onl
that G0ycrnur Hoffman had II
crivcd q false majority, expose
the fclly and hypocrisy Of tho fed
oral election laws. 'i'In city (
New York was cuiit,c,l to loalo
cratic members OF Congress sine
a gscai prcpondcrauce OF its cit
zens belonged to the dcmocrati
party. 1t was therefore, a falls
prste-co to pass an election la'
relating to the choice Of Congress
men when the real grievances OF TIL
] republicans was an alleged falls
counting of votes in he gnberna
iorial election, an election wit
which Congress had no legilllnal
| concern.

A couple were occupying = mid.

There was a shock of surprise as
