One of the most important duties
which will devolve upeO the Kentucky

there is an all-absorbing interest felt
The people Of Kentucky are to be ed
ucated to the performance of these san

! the State Board every incorporated
town in Kentucky should be compelled
to established Boards of Health and
not only TO establish such boards, but
when established, to have certain ssni
tary regulations enforced under heavy
penalties for failures or neglect. Our
theory is to treat nuisance a. crime,
or rather the refusal or neglect to
abate nuisance as a crime. The man

PUT TIE COSvICTS ON THE
COUNTRY ROADS.
a GOOD strOHe GOr Senator
George.

The best solution to the peuiteutiary
question 10 Ke5tucky is to put the
convieIs to work 90 the country roads
in each county of the State.
10 this way the present miserable,
crowded, unhealthy condition of the
penitentiary would be relieved aud
remedied
They would thus become the source
of annual profit to the taxpayers Of
the State, instead OF an annual burden
aud expense as at present.
No one would complain Of this.
Every laboriug man would give it his
unqualified sanction.
What would be the resul, of this
system? None other thau the con
struction Of class of roads that would
add vastly to the wealth of the State
aud do more to build her up aud to
widen the area Of her commerce than
all the railroads we can hope TO con-
struct in the next hundred years. There
are Indeed sections of the State where
there never will be railroads. The
great needs of Kentucky are improved
common roads. They are needed 10
every county from Hickman to Coving
ton, and nothing has so retarded her
growth as the lack of them. Look at
our OVID roads; they are disgrace to
civilization.
Any farmer who will think of the
Increased facilities such roads would
give in hauling his cotton, corn, to-
baceo, wheat, ETC., to market, is bound
to approve it.
The expense attaching to working
the convicss on the county roads of the
State need not far exceed their annual
expense to the people of the State
pow. But grant that it would be con.
siderably larger. what vast improve
meot it would be to every portion of
the State!
Another view: The friends of Ken

Provement schemes, aided by the mis-
cradle condition of our present penis
Tertiary system, are making rapid pro-
gress 10 public sentiment toward Sc
curing the convict labor TO improve
that river, &c, and however much
needed and however great such i'm
provements, We submit that they arc
local aud special, whereas the system
we suggest of working the public
roads in the counties of the State

vaiue Of iGse state Geological
kEFVeS


0ue day last week, while visiting
the rooms of the State Geological
Survey. we were introduced TO two
Eastern gentlemen who had neither
ever been in Kentucky before, and
they informed Us they had come for
the purpose of looking into the titles
OF certain mineral lands. which au
Eugiish company wished to develop.
One was lawyer specially charged
with this part Of the work, and the
other a geologist. we'll known 10 the
world of science. who bad come to ex
anime and report upon the character
and quantity OF the coal. iron and tim
Der on the lands referred to- We asked
them how they became acquainted
with our mineral wealth, which lies
locked up in the mountains. They
said through The public reports of the
geological survey; that when the gen
tlemeu whom they represent first read
of the unequaled wealth OF our coal
fields particularly those of Southeast
eru kentucky. in which there are as
many as twenty workable coal levels,
with iron quite as abundant, they could
scarcely credit it; but finding upon
further investigation that there was no
question of the thorough reliability of
the geological reports, they took i'm
mediate steps looking to the purchase
of Iaods in that section, with view to
colonizatiou aud the manufacture Of
iron They say that there is any
amount OF English capital eager Tor in-
vestment, and all that Is necessary to
insure for Kentucky the development
of her wonder ful resources is that they
shall be better known They were
gratified as well as surprised to find
that Kentucky has made such progress
in the geological survey, and spoke IN
high terms of the thorough work done,
as shown in the four large volumes OF
reports already published.
