JGsIice 10 WorkIngms MfsehieT
Of GOnRieG Labor.

Ex-GoV. Dorsheimer's Recent Speech at the Brook
Ign Academy.
Some years ago i showed the prison al
Albany to gentleman who for nearly fifty
years had been a member Of the British par
lament. As we went away he said: "We
couldn't do that in England" "Do what?"
II asked. Employ convicts in making shoes.
Lord Palmerston, at the hight of his power,
would have been driven out of Office if he
had set the convicts at any manufacture car
ried on IN England" He then told me how
the prisoners were employed in making
things not produced in the country. If this
can be done 10 England il can be done here.
Ii may be said that L take a sentimental
view Of the subject. So do. That is the view
TO take. Human affairs cannot be regula led
by the rigid rules of economy. Some play
must be given to human passion and sensi-
bllity. l was present once when deputa-
ton from the collar makers at Troy came to
the governor to protest against employ
ing the convicts at Sing-Sing in making COL
lars. l shall not forget the eioquenee of the
spokesman of that deputation. Said he:
"You give the people al Sing-Siug house,
fuel, food and clothing. We have to pay
for that. We are not content to be lodged
and fed as they are. They have no chill
dren to rear, no churches 10 support. We
cannot com pete with them at forty cents a
day. But il is not the low wages alone
complain of. This work ia done at our
houses, by our wives, our children, and men
and women who live in our families. l do
not wish to find that some person 1 have
hired and tsken into my house learned his
trade at Sing Sing. do not wish to subject
my children TO such associations. 1t Is an
outrage for the government of my State 10
subject me to this danger" Tremendous APP
plause. The workipgmAn was right. These
profits ut the prisons, of which we hear g.
nueh, are ignoble gains. II is TO the honor
of Mr., Tilden that he once vetoed bill
which put convict labor up to be sold to the
hioheat bidder

THE Fussellites are making a great fuss
over the question whether Senator Harris, at
the close Of the war, was paid his psst-due
salary as governor of Tennessee in gold coin
or Confederate money. Col. John Savage,
who il making a sort of dual campaign, in
which he says Thousand words for
himself aud one for Bate, and ten
thousand against Hsrris-seems also
to be especially agitated about this
question, and 10 be making IA much as
he can OF it to the disgust OF sensible people.
What If Harris was paid in gold at the end
of The war; Were not great many Con-
federate officials paid in silver at that time?
And what else should he have been paid in 7
Had not the Confederacy collapsed, and was
not its paper worthless? Why, then, should
the State Of Tennessee attempt to foist that
worthless paper on its officials when it
had gold st its commaud to pay Them
There was no reason why Gov. Harris should
not be paid in gold, but there was the best
reason in the world why he should not be
paid in Confederate paper. 1t was utterly
worthless, aud ton of it would not have
bought a drink of ice water on one Of the
great river steamers.

The Weekly Review of the Mark Lane
Express.

LONDON, October 24-The Marx Lane En-
press, in its review of the British grain trade
for the past week, says the wet weather
stopped sowing operations and hindered
threshing and marketing. Wheat samples
which have come TO hand are in bad condi-
ton. Prices in the London market are I'M
changed. The provincial markets have i'm
proved Is for fair qualities on account of
the inquiry for new wheat. Foreign wheat
unimproved; supplies moderate. Altogether
he trade is dull, and, if anything, weaker
The of-cosst market is inanimate, ex-
cept for No. 2 red winter wheat,
which advanced q. The trade is
forward and steady at Is advance The
floating bulk continued to decrease, because
of the steady decline in American Atlantic
shipments. This, however, does not appear
to have effected the market. Flour quiet
and unchanged. Foreign flour in restricted
supply and trade slow; prices upheld. Bar
ley steady; foreign barley dull and rather
weaker. Oats unchanged; imports of for
eign oats modera'e; prices 1. better. Maize
improved; there has been u further advance

rates. Sales OF English wheat the past

THE case of the Rev. N. NJ. Long, pastor
of the Stranger church, this city, will come
up before the Memphis Synod, which meets
at Flor-nce, Ala, to-day, on appeal from
the Memphis Presbytery, which, it will be
remembered by readers OF the APPEAL, at
tempted TO read him out of the Presby terrain
Church. The Discussion in Mr.. Longs case
was very fully reported in the AP-
PEAL at the time, and subsequently
we published several commu nications
from him and the Rev. Mr.. Daniels,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian church,
of this city. Pretty much the same ground
will be gone over again BY the Presbytery,
and the same testimony and arguments will
be heard. Both sides are ssnguine OF sue
cess, but it is hoped the Synod will be more
liberal and broader than the Presbytery, and
that what at one time threatened TO be a
great scandal 10 a digni6ed body of Chris-
tians, will be closed forever by the indorse-
ment OF Mr.. Long, who is useful and elo-
quent preacher Of the gospel. IA

THE Hon. CASEY YOUNG returned TO the

he last encountered Judge w. NJ. Smith, the
Republican candidate for Congress. As the
canvass has progressed Col. Young has i'm
creased the 'nursber % -vsluer~St- -r,ofrts is
what was deemed very good character, and
has almost broken his opponent up, as the
boys say. Next Tuesday they will speak
here, and then the citizens of Memphis
will have an opportunity Of realizing the
difference between Smith as he went out
upon the CANVASS and Smith as he returns.
Perhaps the most encouraging evidence of
Col. Young's canvass is the promise he has
received from leading negroes in the district
who have pledged him their support.

A MAUDLIN MAsKER.
ImPersOnatIBg George Washington, IL
Fined Extra by President MADDEN.

Yesterday morning President MADDEN,
who tempers his justice with by no means
occasional jest, had a young man before him
who had figured at the mask ball of the
night before as George Washington. Il
seems that about the time the pseudo
George was leaving the Exposition
building be became very drunk
and used an extra amount OF
indecent language. He was accordingly
arrested, and yesterday morning he doomed
up, costume and all, before the genial hu-
morist of the Taxing District. The facts of
the case were stated, and President MADDEN,
after carefully collating the legal opinions
Of Blackstone and Coke bearing upon the
case, delivered himself of the following de-
cision:
"Now, If you had got drunk as private
citizen, and had cussed and ripped around as
such, / should have fined you s.; but mas
much as you appeared at the mask ball and
committed the offense while personatiDg the
character Of George Washington, the reverend
father of his country, will have to gently
stick you for $40. l won't have this p2-
triotism business brought into disrepute."

FORE THE SUPREME COIJRT

FORE THE SUPREME COURT.
WASHINGTON, October 24.-The political
assessment" case of Newton NJ. Curtis, No.
6, original petition for hdbeas corpus, was
called in the United States Supreme Court
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Ex-Assist-
ant Attorney General Smith, of counsel for
the petitioner, opened argument with a
brief recital of the facts upon which the
petition for habeas corpus was based. Gen.
Curtis in the employ OF The
Treasury Department in the custom
house at New York, and is now under
going imprisonment by virtue of the judg-
ment of the United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York, rendered
upon his conviction under the indictment,
charging him, as employee of the United
States, with having received money from
other employees of the government, contrary
to statute. The writ OF habeas corpus is asked
for, to release him from his imprisonment
and bring his case before this court for re-
view.
Smith spoke about an hour.
Solicitor General Phillips spoke for half
an hour in reply.
The court adjourned at the close of the
solicitor-generaPs argument. Smith will
reply tomorrow TO the solicitor general. II
is probable that argument will be made in

CHICAGO, ILL, October 24-In the trial
of Mrs- Scoville for alleged insanity to-day,
after the reading OF number of letters
from Scoville to his wife, threatening to have
her put in an insane asylum, Mrs. Scoville
again took the stand. There was little 10
her testimony but a rehearsal of the old
story Of domestic infelicity in the family.
She denied that she had been intimate with
Earle or Fitzgerald or George Francis
Train, though the latter wrote her about a
peck measure full of letters. She denied that
she believed herself growing younger or
bad any matrimonial intentions. She found
and hid three postals belonging 10 her hus-
band for fear he might want to use them on
her. Scoville and Guiteau were not congo
NAL, and never could live together. She
thought her father little cracked and her
brother Charlie insane. The oss-examina-
ton developed nothing of interest.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
WAsHIEGToN, October 24-Lieut. Dsnen-
hover resumed before the Jeanette Board of
Inquiry his narrative OF the retreat across
the ice after the sinking of the Jeannette.
In answer TO questions, he said: "My
opinion and judgment at the time of leaving
the ship was that too much was carried, both
of provisions and clothing. l thought at
the time it was best to reduce everything to
the minimum of weight, to carry sixty days
provisions, and 10 strike due south as rapidly
as possible for the Asiatic coastwater."
Question-With the exception that you
have noted, were all the other preparations
adequate and sufficient
Answer-No; each boat should have been
provided, in anticipation of separation, in
the way OF compass, sextant, almanac and
logarithmetic tables. The articles were on
the Jeanette, and in October, 1879, box
was prepared Tor each boat, TO contain full
set of everything that might be required for
their navigation. This was done with list
of articles specified by the captain. The
boxes and boat compasses were slowed in the
stsrboard chart-room, ready for immediate
use. / do not know that the articles were
Intentionally left in the ship on the after
noon of June II, 1881. The prismatic COM
passes were always kept hanging in the
chart-room ready for immediate use, and
were taken on that day. Adjourned.

THE New York Times admits that the
triple tragedy which, a. Knoxville last
week, deprived two respectable families Of
their sole support, was thoroughly American,
but that cit is suggestive Of nothing but saw
agery. No sopbistries relating to personal
honor can gloss over the gross brutality of
this triple homicide. The occurrence is
only another example of the direful effects
of ill-regulsted passions and of the inev-
liable tendencies of vicious public senti-
ment. Where men are permitted TO take
into their own hands the righting of their
wrongs, it is difficult for them to draw the
line betwi1t juslifable homicide and sbso-
