Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, in his
 annual message portrayed wildly the terrible | condition of the penitentiary of that State, | and now the report of the Prison Sanitary Committee has been made to the Legislature l and describes deplorable state of affairs. The committee finds that there are eight con- victs confined there who positively cannot live longer than few months. There are at least 50 others, some of whom are confined to their beds, who in all probability cannot five longer than the latter part of this spring, and about POO others who are in @ state of debility and weakness practically The remainder of the convicts do not present healthy appearance and seem affected by the injurious influences which have prostrated the others. The causes of this state of affairs are found by the commit tee to be numerous. The penitentiary grounds are badly drained, and the sewerage is so defective that in damp weather water stands in portions of the inolosure from which arises a malaria, rendering the air impure. The yards, cells, and work shops are over crowded, and the accumulation of filth and general lack of cleanliness within the prison contribute to the generation of disease. There is a general lack of ventilation in the system l and construction of the houses and cells The committee expresses the opinion that one of the direct causes of the unhealthiness of the convicts is due to their not being supplied with sufficient variety of wholesome food. It is hardly to be wondered at that Governor
 Blackburn felt justified in pardoning as many
 as he did out of such place.

Jules Favre. the French lawyer and states. man who died at Versailles Monday night, was seventy-one years old. He was born at Lyons of a mercantile family, and was in Paris studying law when the revolution of 1880 broke out. From that time onward he never ceased to profess Republican principles, though they were generally out of fashion. After the revolution of 1S4S he was secretary of the Minister of the Interior, and also un- der Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He op- posed the election of Louis Napoleon to the Presidency, and after the coup detat he re- fused to take the oath to the new constitu- tion, And thereby forfeited his election to an administrative office. In the Legislature he was strenuous opponent of imperial meas ures, and especially the declaration of war against Germany. After the surrender at Sedan he advocated the exile of the imperial family, and in the new government he be- came Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice President of the provisional government. In his negotiations for peace with Bismarck his theatrical exhibition of sentiment pro- voked the ridicule of that cynical statesman. Upon Thiers' accession to the Presidency, M. Favre withdrew from political life, and has since confined himself to the practice of his profession.

confident of the State giving Garfield

AN ELEOTION RIOrER.

A First Ward Roush Fined for an
Assault at the Polis.
Frank Donnelly was arraigned before
magistrate Cole yesterday afternoon and
given q hearing for assaulting Josie
Jones, q colored man, who attempted
to vote on Tuesday afternoon at the
First ward polls. II. R. Pennington,
Esq,, appeared for the defense.
Mr.. J. +, Buckingham was the first
witness, and In his evidence he told
how he had gone to the polls with
Jones to get him to vote, and his vote
was refused, although he showed a tax
receipt. He went away aud made afi-
davit that the man was q resident OF
the ward. When he returned the vote
was still refused, and while he was
insisting that it should be taken the
prisoner ran up and struck Jones.
"It's lis," cried Donnelly who sat
near, beside constable Hickman.
"Come you must keep order here, "
admonished the 'squire.
"yVsll I'll be--if ! am going TO
have the man lie about me-" retorted
Donnelly savagely.
The man was soon ouieted and the
hearing resumed. Mr.. Buckingham
soon concluded his evidence saying
that in his opinion the most of the
trouble around the first ward polls was
caused by Donnelly.
The negro Jones was then called and
he testified that Donnelly had struck
him without provooation. Mr.. Penning-
ton closely questioned him about his
residence in the ward, and he replied
that he drove for Mr.. Buckingham and
slept in the stable. He had been in
jail from July l6 to August IA, for
non payment of Eve dollars and costs,
but since August l4th he resided in
the ward.
Inspector Plunkett and others were
called for witnesses for the defense and
the Squire fined Donnelly 81 and
costs.

AnIusane woman Missing.

Frank Davis, an intelligent colored
man called at the REPUBLICAN Office last
night and requested us to state that
his wife Mary Davis escaped from the
Insane department of this Aims House
on Tuesday afternoon. This is the
second time she had been confined in
that institution from which she escap-
ed both times. Her whereabouts since
her last escape are unknown to her
husband who lives at McDowelv lille,
and he fears that she may have in some
manner taken her life. She Is
described as rather a short stout
woman, brown skin and was
dressed in a black alpaca dress. At
one time she lived in the family OF
John Morrison near Pleasant Hill, then
with Blwood Mckee, near Bear Station.
Before she was married she lived near
Millington, Md. 1t may be possible
that she has made her way to one Of
these places. Any information of her
whereabouts would be thankfully re-
ceived by her husband.
