Governor Roberts has recommended
an appropriation for the purchase Of
machinery, that employment for the
conyicts may be provided within the
walls Of the penitentiary. The COZ
eFnor Is right. Convicts should not be
permitted 10 compete with the homes,
labor Of the county Orange Tri-
buBc.
IoH are right, neighbor: neither can
the letter nor the spirit Of til" law be
complied with by permitting convict,
TO be employed outside the pcnilen-
Gary. Nor is 1t right to permit this
convict labor n come in competition
with "Lonest labor" We do not be
lieye it is a correct polIcy for the Stale
to lease her peuitentiaries-siie ought
to have entire control Of them: use
some Of her 'cash balance" To furnish
and get up the proper kind Of ma
chlnery for the manufacture Of differ
ent kinds, keep her conyicts employed
within her walls, and make the State
prisons self-supporting from the labor
Of her conT cls.-- Jasper News-Boy.
The writer would Ike to ask purely
for information, how competition with
"honcst labor" can and will be avoided
BY coufning the operations Of con-
vict labor within the walls Of the pen
itentiary, instead Of letting the samc
be carried on outside of the penitcn-
tiaryl The result, it seems, will be the
same wherever the labor is done, un
less conyicts are employed in the man
ufacturc Of articles Of commerce that
are not manufactured by any other
party or parties, and thus create new
articles Of commerce. AS a rule, in
all well regulated penitentiaries nearly
every trade is well represented and
Systematically prosecuted. OF course
these same trades are pursued Dv
"honest" Iaborers outside the peniten-
tiary. Then the question is, which Of
these two classes can produce the same
articles and furnish them to the con
sumner for the least money! If convict
labor can do this, then "honest labor"
will be interfercd with and broken
down, and rice UersG. In the judgment
of the writer the only way that CON
Wet labor can be secured so as to ben
eft tho State employing it, and at the
same time render the results of this
labor equally beneficial to all the iD-
habitants Of the State, is to place this
labor on the high ways Of the country.
The results Of labor thus bestowed
would be regarded, and is common
property, capable of being equally
used and employed by all. Roy.
We learn that the water at Lees
burg, Cameron, WAS very high, the rise
being caused by the high wind blow

the storm last Sunday. No serious
damage, as far as we can learn, was
done in Cameron, aud none 10 this
parish except that done in town. 1t is
reported that all the wharYcs at Sabine

HOME LIFE OF SHOP AssrsTANTs.-M

HOME LIFE OF SHOP AssIsTANTs.-Mr.
Redgrave, Of London, has just submitted
to Sir William Harcourt a report on the
home life of shop assistants. which gives a
very pleasant picture Of their condition.
One inspector visited twenty five OF the
leading millinery and drapery houses in
the West End, and he "can express moth.
ing but approval OF what he has SEEN" A
considerable number of the assistants at
these shops live entirely on the premises,
and every provision seems to be made for
their comfort. The food is plentiful and
well cooked, and the sleeping arrange.
ments are very satisfactory. In one estab.
lishment there are four large sitting rooms,
supplied with newspapers and periodicals,
large library, and several pianos. At an.
other, the inspector found two sitting
rooms, besides library, a reading-room,
and MUSHROOM with piano. The pro-
prietor of third had just been spending
FL, 500 to provide his employees with a
library; while a fourth establishment had
two distinct houses, each with house.
keeper, cook, and the other necessary
servants, and also a doctor in regular at.
tendance, paid by the firm.

brother in-law, Caleb Young. There had
been family feud for some time. It appears
that Hill. in fit of anger, punished his
step.daughter fer refusing to obey

notice to leave the country in twelve hours.
Hill, wanting to show that he was not to be
driven away, remained in town till the next
morning, and while be WAS standing on the
porch in front Of the Postofice, Young drove
up, jumped off his wagon and approached
him in q threatening manner, using insulting

Young. Hill was arrested and taken to
