Every year one or more bills are introduced
In the Legislature to limit the system of con-
tract labor in the State Prisons. The present
year Is no exception to the rule. A bin was In
troduced last month to prohibit the manufac-
ture of fur or wool hats in any of the prisons.
II such bills are intended to remedy anevil in :
iicted on free mechanics it does not go far
enough. The bill should not be confined to q
single industry, but to break down the contract
system. In the old state of Georgia, there ex-
lists the chain gang, by which great many
convicts are employed on railroads. 1t ignores
the honest laborer, and leaves him out of en-
ployment making monopoly corporations rich,
and keeping the same tax on all property own
ers. The Legislature has a large flood of bills
before 1T this week. Last week several delega-
tions from Brooklyn, New York City and Buff

makers, which which will occupy much Of

AN OLD LANDMARK.
John Larkin Charged with FelOlHi-
Ousiy Removing 1t.

At Justice Henderson's Court last even
ing, says the Virginia Chronicle, the case
Of John Lsrkin, charged with stealing q
privy from Patrick Nevin, was called.
Clayton Belknap, the legal adviser of Mr..
Larkin, asked for a continuance of the
case, on account of the absence Of the
wife of the defendant, who knew more
about the removalof the editice than any
one else.
Assistant District Attorney Huffaker
objected to a continuance, as a jury had
been summoned and there we've three lady
witnesses present, and it would be a hard
ship to make these ladies come again. To
continue the case would also be an expense
to the county.
Mr.. Belknap then made a request to
have the case taken to the District Court,
on the ground that the title to the ground
upon which the structure stood was in
question, and it is not a case for a Police
Justice.
Mr.. Hutfaier argued that there was no
question as to the title of the real estate.
1t was simply 1t question of petty larceny.
No one accused the defendant of taking
away the foundation. He was accused of
stealing the s~uperstructure.
Justice Henderson decided that the case
must go to the District Court, and it was
so ordered. The clubhouse in question
appears to have been an old landmark,
having been erected one year before Ne
vada was admitted to the Union as a State,
in 1864. 1t was situated on B street, near
Silver, and Mr.. Nevin, who claims pro-
prietorship, feels grieved that it should
have been removed, both for financial and
sentimental reasons.

until Mr.. Cassidy went to his W home it
was one continued ovation from all classes

their member had represented them in the

San Francisco Daily Exchange: In an
other column we publish an elaborate
description of the Albion bonanza, from
the Eureka Leader. This publication has
peculiar value in that it appears in a news
paper which has hitherto been pronounced
in its want of faith in the value of the Al
bion mine and the honesty OF its manage
ment. We congratulate James Anderson,
the editor of the Leader, whose well-known
love of truth has given him a fame that is
national, upon the fact that he has at last
had the Richmond scales removed from
his eyes and is able to see the Albion ore
body as it is. and do justice to the COM
pany which controls it. The Leaders
article is worthy Of a careful perusal.
