A SPECIAL committee to whom the Con.
neclicut Legislature referred the question
OF convict labor for investigation has made
report in favor Of the existing system oil
hiring convicts by contract. They say
that, with the exception OF the hat trade,
there is no industry injured by convict
labor, and the goods made by convicts
compare iavorably with those made out
side the prisons. They think also that
the system works favorably so far as the
physical and moral condition OF the pris-
oners il concerned. To prevent, however,
any unjust concentration OF prison labor
in one industry they propose the follow
ing bill:
Whenever itshall be proposed TO employ
seventy-tive or more OF the prisoners con-
tined In the State prison, by contract or
otherwise, Mt any trade or occupation, the
directors OF the State prison shall give pub.
lie notice OF the iact by advertising the
came in one or more OF the leading papers
in each city and town in the Stale having
over 10000 inhabitants not less than once
each week for the period OF four weeks be-
fore the making OF any contract or selling
any convict labor, and shall inquire into
the effect OF such proposed employment
upon the interest OF the State, the moral
and physical condition OF the prisoner,
and upon free labor; and said directors
shall give hearing TO all who may wish
to be heard in tho matter; and II II shall
appear upon such inquiry that such pro-
posed employment viii not be for the in-
terest OF the State, or will seriously injure
the citizens of this or any other State en-.
gagged in such proposed trade or occupa.
ton, 1t shall be prohibited"

A Matter OF Interest to West virginia
Farmers.

/ EHrmerN.
Ata meeting Of the Vermont Dairy.
mems Association, held last week, 1t was
developed that the Vermont supremacy in
butter making Tor the Eastern market has
been seriously interfered with by the
creamery method Of making butter, which
is growing up in the West. A few years
ago Vermont supplied the New England
cities, with nearly their whole stock OF
choice butter, and there was no compete
ton; but now, said Mr.. Smith, President
OF the Vermont Association, "the West is
rising to take the palm from you.' West
ern creamery butter commands higher
price in the Eastern markets than the
Vermont article, and unless some remedy
shall be found for the difficulty the dairy
interest in that State must decline, for
cheap lands cheap grain and
cheap grass in the West will
enable the dairymen Of the latter re-
gion TO undersell their New England
rivals and force them from the market.
The remedy which Mr.. Smith proposes lisa
general and thorough improvement In
their dairy herds. ''Sift your herds" he
says, land eliminate the Improbable. BY
the last census Vermont cows annually
produced but 0S pounds OF butter per
head. II that pays expenses, what you
make beyond Is profit. Swell the average
TO 100 pounds, which would not be ex.
cessive, and see what your product Is for
Vermont-Sl, 100000 saved without extra
cost"
But the improvement OF dairy cattle Is
quite as practicable in West Virginia as in
Vermont; sitting OF herds Is quite as easy
here as there. II the average product can
be increased from 0s TO 100 pounds per
head there, II can be done here too, for
the problem depends very largely upon
high feeding, and high feeding Il more
practicable where grain and grass are
cheap than in New England, where grain
and grass are dear. The great value
OF dairy products that can be compressed
into small space, and the consequent
comparatively small cost they pay. for
carriage, mark them as the most profitable
objects OF Western farming. Western
grain pays 20 TO 40 per cent OF It's first
cost to 70 to New York and Boston,
while Western butter and cheese pay only
9 10 8 per cent, and this demonstrates the
advantage OF converting portion Of West
Virginia grain into diary products instead
ofshipping It in It's raw and bulky condi-
tion

Such things occur in French romances,
but It is rare that in real life so strange and
tragic an episode is presented as happen.
ed few nights ago at the little town Of
Manning, South Carolina.
THERE'S published at that town a journal
called the Clarendon Pres. The editor,
Mr.. Preston D. Mood, was also the sue.
cessful teacher Of private school. Some
thing was printed in the Pres that ap.
peared to reflect upon Mr.. W. NJ. Poole.
A kinsman OF Mr.. Poole's put this con.
struction upon the. matter and wrote to
Mr.. Mood, demanding that he should pub.
lish statement to the effect that he had
not intended to reflect upon Mr.. Poole
"as q gentleman and Christian" The
editor CURLY refused, and his correspond.
ent sent him hostile message. Aplace
and time for meeting were named by
Poole at his opponents original sugges.
ton. But the second Of Mood, Mr.. Gallu-
chet, objected to the time and place be-
cause the time was too soon-Mr. Moses,
the second Of Poole, proposing that the
men should fight with pistols that night
aud by candle Highland because the
place the State in which the quarrel &C.
Cured, was unsuitable.
As consequence Of this objection Poole
Immediately circulated "card," in which
he denounced Mood as coward and
liar" He declared that III a man will
fight he will fight any where;" and an
nounced that he should be "on the street
every day." with the obvious intention Of
provoking an informal conflict in. place oil
the duel that SO far had been frustrated.
The singular result was that Mood shot
himself through the head few nights
afterward and instantly expired. He was
young man OF ability and promise and
came from we'll known and respected
family. It.seems to be generally admitted
that he was quite ready to fight, the sole
obstacle being the disagreement OF the
seconds as to terms. Whether mental ex-
element had temporarily clouded Moods
reason or whether his suicide was an act
OF deliberate and rational intention is I'M
known; but in any case another bright
young life that apparently had before it a
long career OF usefulness has been blotted
prematurely out; and the senseless Gus.
tom that ought long since to have followed
that other barbarian side by side with
which 1t so long flourished into oblivion
has inundated another victim.
Dueliing certainly should have disap-
peared with slavery: But. since those
who maintain the desperate and uncivil.
lied expedient are so persistent in their
adherence to 1t, the odium and the penal
ties OF homicide in other forms should be
inhexibly enforced upon duellists; for
such is clearly the sole and proper method
Of dealing with form OF savagery which
in some parts Of the country has resisted
every other means adopted for its discour.

There arc many reasons why the bill be
fore Congress proposing to make tele
graphic messages as inviolable as the U
S.mOis should become a law. In England
the Telegraph Is government institu.
ton, in the same sense that the postoflice
Is in the United States. In England, there.
fore, the teleHraphic message is quite as
much in the confidential custody OF the
government as the letter sent by mail, and
no question OF a distinction between the
two has ever arisen there. 1t is dill.
cult to frame ont OF the fact that
private companies do in this country the
work which the government does In Eng
land, any reason why the public itself
should stand in an altered relation to that
service. The public is not entitled to q
mans private correspondence, any more
when that correspondence employs the
medium Of a private corporation, than
when 1t seeks the channel Of government
conveyance. This principle is recognized
by our best writer's upon Jurisprudence.
Judge Cooley, of the Michigan University,
whc is perhaps the leading American
writer upon constitutional limitations, de-
clares that
Perhaps nothing in legal history Is more
remarkable than tho general aequiescence
OF the public in the asserted right to bring
into court and before legislative bodies as
instruments OF evidence the private mes.
