For the nispa,ch.I
Convict Labor I'm IIenrieO.

Messrs Editors /: As the Dispatch is the
great source to which the intelligent people
OF Henrico look for Information in local as
well rs general affairs, the Taxpayers and
best citizens Of Henrico-those who have
the true interests OF the county at heart
would feel themselves under lasting obiga-
lions to you II through your columns you
will inform them why the supervisors OF
Henrico persist in employing penitentiary
eonvicis to work the county roads, while
there are so many poor, honest laborers in
the county willing and almost begging for
work. II the labor Of these convicts-
thieves and cut.tbroats-could be obtained
without any expense to the Taxpayers,
then, indeed, there would be plausible
reason for employing them; but the pc
tent fact IL, the expense Of employing
a gang Of these penitentiery birGs is con-
sidei ably greater than the labor OF cerre-
spending number OF free, honest, and wor-
thy citizens would be. WHAT crime have
the poor laboring men OF Henrico commit
ted that they should be thus contemptu-
ously ignored and denied advantages given
to pcnitentiary conyicis? At least two OF
the four supervisors OF Henrico were elect
ed TO Office because those who voted for them
were opposed to conyict-labor upon the
county roads, and formed their choice OF
candidates upon this very issue. The only
argument that has been or can be offered in
favor Of employing convicts upon the coun-
" roads Of Hcnrico is this-yiz., it creates
apaying place for a =" boss," and also posi-
lions for several "guards" at good pay,
out OF The pockets OF the overburdened tax.
payers 81 the county. make no comments
upon that argument.
Many OF the poor coored men OF the
anti hn ar Of nj I'll
public charity In the form Of food furnished
By the oyerseers OF poor are subjects Of
charity for the simple reason that they can
get no employment. Why not employ this
class! A man OF this class would thus cease
10 be an expense TO the county, as the
mouey paid him for bis labor would ALWAYS
support him and his family. When poor
men who are willing to work are refused
employment and treated with less considera-
ton than c0nyicts, is it any wonder that
the penitentiary is crowded? Is it any
wonder that the poor laboring man
reasons thus: eli L cannot get EN-.
pioyment because i am not convict,
why, surely ] must make myself oneio
There are receipts advertised for making
hair-dye, to make patent medicines, to show
how TO grow rich, &c. but In connection
with this subject will give receipt which
will enable any poor laboring man in Hen
rico (white or colored) TO get employment
aud comfortable home, with plenty TO eat,
plenty Of sunshine and fresh air, in plea
sant roads, where the wild flowers grow,
.and where the gay birds sing. Here it is
Commit some crime, and get sent to the
penitentiarY.
Oh, want 10 be convict,
And spend the summer days
With that band or happy fellows
Upon the public ways.
