A WASHINGTON dispatch of Thurs
day last to the New York Herald
says letter has just been received
from Lieutenant Danenhower by his
parents in that city.
It is dated at Yakutsk, December
30th, 1881, and addressed to his
mother. The intelligence it contains
has for the most part reached the
public through other channels.
He describes Yakutsk as city of
5000 inhabitants on the west branch
of the Lena River, the chief city in
Northern Siberia and the residence
of the GovernorsGeneral. The re-
ception of himself and his party
was very hospitable and their
treatment most kind. He
adds: "This is a very
cold place. During nine months of
the year snow and ice abound. In
the winter the thermometer falls to
70 degrees below zero. Since our
arrival it has been 6S degrees below !;
to-day it is only 80, or Whereabouts.
In the summer the temperature rises
as high as 95 degrees, but the nights
are cold This discloses the great

postscript is dated the 31st of De-
cenber. Chief Engineer Melville
had just returned from an unsuccess-
full journey to the northward in
search of De Long and party.
"He found the ships leg and in
struments near the place where they
landed, but did not find the people.
The search is now going on and is
limited to very narrow strip of
country to which the party has been
traced. \ x We go to
Irkutsk in few days. We have
400 miles to make before reaching
the railroad station"
1t will be observed that the letter
to Mrs. Melville from her hush and,
in our issue of Friday last, was
written the following day.

POISONING OR PUTRIDITY ?

Last Tuesday, DR.. George H.
Lamson, accused of poisoning his
wife's brother with anacotine, was
found guilty in London and sen
fenced to death. He was convicted
upon the testimony of experts as to
the fatal presence of the poisonous
drugs in the body of the deceased.
The New York Herald next morn>
ing devoted it's leading editorial to
the medical aspects of the case.
That journal asserts that there are
alkaloids of animal origin quite
commonly produced in the bodies
of animals which have died
and been buried and in the fluids of
the living, not as yet to be distin-
guished from alkaloids of vegetable
origin. Some of these animal alka-
loids are quite innocent, others per
fectly represent poisons as deadly as
strychnine, anacotine and many
others less Familiarity known. After
long array of scientific authority,
the article concludes:
"Why substances hitherto known
to chemists onl y as the ultimate sep
cradle elements of certain poisonous
or nutritive plants, should be found
and be apparently produced in the
' dead body, is one Of the mysteries of ,t
life. At all
events, they are certainly
found in the tissues without
the possibility of suspicion that they
are not created there, and this must
greatly increase the difficulties of all
persos who are called upon to prove
that any substance in a dead body
which has responded to the physi-
illogical tests of anacotine, is really
the anacotine of the apothecaries, or
was not produced by the natural pro-
cesses in the tissues from which it
was taken.
This is point in Medical Juris-
prudence deserving the serious at
tention of both the medical and
legal professions. Else there is dan
ger either that crime will go unpun-
punished or that the innocent may
suffer-

PRISON LABOR.

In the management of our system
of convict labor in this country,
there are two questions to be cons
sidered: First, how to save the
penitentiaries from becoming a
heavy burden upon the Taxpayers 1;
and, second, how to utilize the labor
of convicts so as not to throw all the
burden upon free, honest labor, by
enforcing a ruinous competition.
In the effort to make penitentiaries
selfNsupporting, there is danger
of throwing the whole burden
of their maintenance upon the
laboring men of the country. There
has been good deal of complaint in
this State, but the truth is, the
labor of penitentiary convicts has
been burden to fewer persons here
than it has in many other States,
and it is far less Objectionable than
in the State of New York. We find
in the New York Star of last Satur-
day, an editorial addressed to the
superintendent of State prisons for
that State, which, if the facts as
stated be correct, shows that
prison labor has been so used there as
oprove greatly prejudicial if not dis
astrous to some classes of mechanics.
Addressing the superintendent of
prisons, the Star says
The sole ambition of your prede
cessor was to make the prisons sells
supporting. For this end he let the
prisoners to contractors. He let
1000 Sing Sing convicts to Perry &
Co., the stove manufacturers, for fife
ty cents a day each. Good moulders
were worth $3.50 at the time this
contract was made. Allowing that
convict labor is worth threesquarters
the value of free labor, these fortu>
nate contractors make clear profit
of $1.38 a day on every convict, which
amounts on the whole force engaged,
to $431, $40 year. Is it any won
der, then, that these contractors are
reputed to be worth millions? What
is the effect of this system? Every
stovemaking laborer in the
State gets less pay per
day, in consequence of the EN-.
ployment of these convicts. Seven
hundred and fifty honest laborers are
forced out of work to crowd into
other industries or drift into pauper-
ism and crime. The same can be
said of the shoe, the axle, the ma
chine, the hat, the hollow ware con-
tracts. The effect of the employ
ment of contract labor reduced the
earnings of shoemakers out of prison
from S14 to So in 1879, and the
hatmaking contracts in this State
and New Jersey drove hundreds of
matters out of the trade they had
spent years in acquiring. No artisan
whose capital is invested in a trade
and capacity to work at it well is
safe from the pernicious and blight
ing effects of system which uses
the prisoner to his detriment to take
bread out of the mouths of honest
workingmen and their families. The
only persons who make any
thing by the system are the IA
vored contractors. The elegant
country seat to which Hon. Samuel
j. Tilden has retired to spend the
Indian summer of his life,year was
built at immense cost by money

We are afraid that some of our So
called "low-tax friends are in
danger of showing their cloven feet.
They are very angry at the Governor
for having called an extra session of
the Legislature, and with uplifted
hand and downcast eyes are bewail-
ing the great expense of such extra
session. They forget that unless
this extra session is held, the people
will have to pay a tax
this year, levied for the
purpose of paying the interest on the
State debt. After the decision of
the Supreme Court, this interest
cannot be paid, and it would be
wrong to collect seven to eight hun
dred thousand dollars in taxes only to
be boarded away in the State depos>
itories. It is safer in the hands of
the people themselves, Without
the extra session, a tax of forty cents
on each hundred dollars of taxable
property would be collected by the
State. With it, the tax will be re-
duced to ten cents on the hundred
