A Disguised Hancock Man.

The following private letter to gentleman
OF this city gives the views of one Hancock
man the situation:
The agony is over and the jig is up! John
Kelly sold out his interest in Hancock and
the electoral vote is lost in New York state for
the Democratic party. am not sorry for
them, but do regret the sacrifice of the best
man they ever started for Presidential cam
didate.
The Democratic party is fnished-as it has
been hitherto constituted. The result shows
that there Was nothing to it. If they couldn t
hang together, and, with such a nominee as
Gen. Hancock is, were unable to win-they
can never hope to succeed with anybody in
their treacherous and miserable ranks-con-
found theml 1 am done. voted for Hancock
and worked for him. I shall never again
touch the Democratic "sparty" ticket. 1t is
thing to me, personally, which side wins.
But am vexed to see that with so good a
man, SO clean man, and SO splendid a chance
as they had, that what was called "a party
proves to be such an utter nonentity. We
were sold. Hancock was sold. 1t serves them
right, that they have thus been sqnelched out.
But am sorry that Gen. Hancock is the I'M
lucky victim of this stupid treachery-that is

our State as IL soldier, while confined
in a stockade on Morris Island, OPP
posite Charleston, a rope had been
stretched around the prisoners camp
to mark the line of demarkation, at
which and beyond, We were to be
shot down, without summons, by the
guards stationed on theparapet; and,
on one occasion, in the presence of the
lieutenant Of the guard, while u lot of
prisoners had incautiously approach
ed the rope to purchase some articles
from u suffers wagon, the sentinel
fired among the crowd, fortunately
without effect. In answer to the pro-
tests of the prisoners, the officer re-
piled: "You all know the rule; it's
your fault if you have violated it;
the sentinel has only carried out his
instructions.' Yet, the prisoners were
making no attempt to escape.
1t may be held that such u rule was
u heartless one. Still, it was imposed
upon six hundred Confederate officers
and gentlemen.
The rule for the violation of which
Berkery has lost his life is by far less
stringent than the other, since it is
established that he was first ordered
to halt while running away, and that
upon being fired at once, he even
then continued his attempt to escape
till the second shot took effect.
While VIC doprecaIc the necessity
that compels human life to be sum-
marily taken, we cannot overlook
the circumstances that surround the
act in certain cases.
The evidence furnished by the re-
porter Of the Democrat shows that
the convicts arc well fed and kept.
That their lot in serving out a SELL
tence at hard labor is not an easy
one, we are free to confess. In this,
however, they arc only subjected to
the inhexiblc provisions of the law.
Until the laws are rendered more
lenicnt, those who prey upon society
must, of necessity, bear the hardsIips
imposed upon them.

WuARFBOAT DISADVANTAGES. -
The proposition of establishing a
wharfboat has often been mootcd in
Baton Rouge. While a wharfboat
has its advantages it has also, as will
be seen by the following from the
Fcliciana Sentinel, its serious draw
backs:
On Saturday evening last the wharf
boat at Bayou Sara was seized by a
special United States Deputy Marshal
sent from New Orleans for the pur-
pose. The cause of the seizure is for
the recovery of $20,oOO salvage,
claimed by the coal yard employees,
who in turn claim that they saved
said boat and some 100000 of freight
some time since.

THE KILLING OF BERKERY.

Our New Orleans contemporary
the Democrat, condemns in very
strong terms the lcssees of the peni.
Tertiary for permitting their guards
to summarily shoot down convicts
who pass beyond the linesin attempt
ing to escape tho punishment which
they have been sentenced to endure
by our courts, in order that society
may DC protected against attacks Oh
persons and property.
Next to capital punishment, the
sentence to hard labor is the dircst
penalty to which human being may
be subjected. This fact is recognized
the world over. Everywhere, too,
the discipline established over con
victs is Of the most rigid nature. We
agree with our contemporary, when
he says that u convict has a perfect
right to break away from his keepers
if he sees an opportunity to do so.
The Democrat says of Berllery:
ole was in sight of liberty, and
took his chance to run for it,
SO he did, after having made one
previous attempt to regain that pre-
cious boon. And after passing be-
You'd the guards at Il run, on his
second attempt, nc paid the forfeit
with his life, in accordance with the
inhexible rule which he, Berkery, us
every other convict, no doubt, knew
to be in existence.
We are not prepared to discuss
the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping the con-
victs within the walls Of the peniten-
tiary. 1t is certain, however, that
whether the guards arc stationed at
the watchtowcrs around its precincts
or whether they are placed around u
camp in the open field, the rule has
always been, so we arc told, that
after the guards have summoned to
halt any prisoner attempting to es-
cape, it is then made the duty of such
guards to shoot them down.
Certainly, this is rule that shocks
the kindly feelings of ono's heart.
However cruel this may be, those
who arc appointed by the State to see
to the enforcement of a sentence to
hard labor, as the penalty for the
great wrongs perpetratcd against So
cicty, must choose between letting
the prisoner escape punishment and
re-enter it scot-frce else they must
hold the convict through the fear that
his very life is hazarled in a run for
freedom.
The annals of the pcnitentiary re-
veal the fact that many guards have
been assaulted and killed by convicts
in their attempts to fee. There arc
widows and orphans in Baton Rouge
of guards whose lives were taken I'M
der such circumstances.
How, then, can the sentence i'm
posed on telons be carried out over
beings convicted of attacking the
or the lives of their fellow
men.
We remember distinctly that while
. prisoner of war, though guilty ofHo
other ottensc than that Of serving !
