Claus Von der Meeden, superintendent uf the Penitentiary, got on a drunk last Wednesday night and badly beat an un- armed man over the head, with six shooter. Such conduct is undoubtedly commendatory as penitentiary propos- tion, and is of a piece with all the last two years management of the Territorial Prison. Judging from this last break, and from various other drunken out breaks, MT. Meeden would grace the in- side of penitentiary much better than the outside.
