A SPEEDY solution Of the vexcd
penitentiary problem has been offered
to the Legislature. A responsible
firm, contractors for the Big Sandy r.
r., is anxious to employ 400 convicts
to work on that road, and viii give
the best Of security for their care and
safe keeping for two years. The law
as II now stands prevents such hiring
out Of convicts, but if our law max
ers are really in earnest about giving
relief to the over-crowded establish
ment, they can not do so, 50 profita'
bly, and so promptly as by changing
the law and letting the contractors
have the men at once. We have seen
this system operated in Virginia with
great success by the same contractors
who have made this application, and
in nearly every instance the convict
so hired was healthier and more con-
tented than when shut up in prison
walls. A long time will necessarily
intervene before branch penitentiaries
can be built, even after the law has
passed to build them, and as this gives
immediate relief, the Legislature
might make the experiment, at least
till more room is made for the prison

THElaw allowing Sheriffs two guards
to each prisoner transported to the
Penitentiary has often presented the
disgraceful sight of three burly men,
with pistols buckled on the outside,
escorting a poor little hand-cuaed con-
suwptive that either one of them
could carry under his arm. This is
done to enchre the State out of the
fees and mileage, which are just double
what they ought to be, and the Sher-
if, who has hired the men for a mere
song, pockets the difference. We are
glad, however, to see that the Senate
has passed bill reducing the number
of guards to one, and ii it will reduce
the mileage to actual travelling ex-
penses, a big step towards retrench-
ment and reform will have been &C.
complished.

IT SEEMS that Congress is not dis.
posed to "let we'll enough alone in the

to push his resolution to remove the
legal tender quality from the green

their reserves in coin, is anxious for
its passage; while CulbersOn is red-hot

The COurier-JOurnars correspondent
makes a suggestion that the Legisla-
ture will do well to heed. II is to
abolish all sinecure Offices, beginning
with the Register of the Land Office
and his clerks-a line of policy that
would be an annual saving Of from
$4,000 to $50, 900 to the State. The
Land Office has long been a useless
and expensive luxury, and if the Leg
stature will cut it of, their present
session will not have been entirely in
vain.

Mr. Edwin Ro6th'a Ric6eLem haa manifestl

Mr.. Edwin Booths Rjcheheu has manifestly
been much more acceptable in London than
bis Hamlet. One Of the reasons for this is
that he acts Ric1tehieu better than he acts Ham,
let and another reason is that he does not
follow in the former part on the heels of play
ers who, rightly or wrongly, have made a
strong impression in it. We may predict of
Mr.. Booths London engagement with censid-
cradle safety that it is likely to be successful
or the reverse in just the proportion that he
profits by the comparative reception of his
two opening characters and forbears to regard
the judgment Of his unqualified New York
admirers as a test of selection in catering for
the audience of London. In the meantime, in
the national sense and for. hissown sake, we
rejoice that the tragedian has been accorded as
the hero of Bulwer so decided an advance ia
favor over what he secured in the hero of
Shakespeare.

ffas A MOUSE, The FRoa, AND The flaws
A Southern mouse, who always lived on the
land. formed an intimate acquaintance with
Northern frog, who lived for the most part n
the water. The Northern democratic frog one
day, intent on mischief, bound the foot of the
Southern democratic mouse tightly to his owr.
Tins Joined togethef the Northern democrat
ic frog. frst OF ali, led his Southern friend
into the green. fields iof official patronage
where they were accustoined to find their
food previous to the war. After this, he
gradually led toward the pool in which the
frog lived, until he dragged him to the very
ped the mouse into the water. The conse-
auence was that while the Southern democrat
went intothe Confederate army and didg all
the suffering for tlle State rights PRINCIPLES Of
the. party, bis Nofhsrn derneeratie allyY aak

grew fat and sleek on Federal Contracts. or.
after the manner of Ben. Butler, in Federal
commands. The Northern democratic frog
enjoyed the water amazingly, and swan
croaking about as if he had done a highly
meriterious action. The unhappy mouse was
soon drowned by the water, and his dead body
fioated about on the surface, tied to the foot
of the frog. they being still very much attach
ed to each other. Finally, on the Cd of No
vember of this year of our Lord, the repnbli-
can hawk, observing the dead body of the
Southern democratic, mouse, bounced down
upon it, and carried it ,aoft. The Northern
democratic frog, being still fastened to the leg
of the Southern democratic mouse. also went
up on the occasion. Moral: This fable
