II our lawmakers will kindly listen
9 moment we win give them few
pointers ON the criminal laws of this
Territory-and no extra charge for
advice, either. Experience for a
time as justice of the peace, and an
observation Of petty criminal affairs,
has enabled us to speak somewhat
iatslligently upon this matter. What
We want to say is that by mistaken
Idea of justice, no court of inferior
Jurisdiction to district court is al
logged to condemn O criminal to hard
labor. As a result our jails are filled
from time to time by tramping vaga-
honda who find therein just the kind
Of boardand lodging they want.
Port Townsend Jail is today a fair
specimen. Prisoners are fined for
some, ofense, and are imprisoned in
default of payment of fine and costs.
Sometimes their friends furnish them
with money to pay their way and get
discharged; yet in frequent instan-
ces they prefer to Nboard it out" and
save the money. They care little or
nothing for the disgrace Of imprison-
Haent, and the Jail diet and accommo-
dations do very well for a change.
We protest that such a state of affairs
Indicates something radically wrong.
The true idea of jails and courts is
to provide means of furnishing
criminals, and that which criminals
are not averse to cannot be called
punishment. The present system
hlls our jails with class of tramping
bummers who are an enormous ex-
pense TO the county, whose numbers
are rather increased than diminished
BY arrests and applications of the
Law, and who are by no means pun
ishsd in the true sense of the word
flour Legislators would provide for
making the law a veritable terror to
evil doers," they should amend the
Law SO as to give justices and com
Eaitting magistrates the power to
Brovide hard labor for prisoners
such labor as will cause those gentry
who ornament prison cells to prefer
their freedom. Particularly should
this apply to class of vagrants who
ara continually docking for work"
but fail to find it Certainly our
government shonld mercifully pro
vide work for such desperate seekers
-work enough to satisfy their most
iaordinate appetites. Let the mag
istysts have power to order criminals,
sentenced by him, to perform SO
many hours labor every day-and
see that it is faithfully performed,
too, and we would soon have smaller
seoWds in the county iails.

Ben Butler'- re domination for gov
crnor of Massachusetts by the green

that state. and the probability that a
reelection to his object this fall may
prove Il stepping stone to Trcsidcn
ti&l nomination., leads an exchange to
dub him the AIirabeau IF modern

OF the political events Of the United
States for the twenty years from
1851 to 1881, inclusive. viii have
very large sale. Mr. Blaine's per
sonal experience certainly makes him
competent to perform such u task
we'll. He has given the matter close
attention since President Garfeld's
dsath, and his book has already met
an enthusiastic reception. Agents

for IL
Old Ben Butler managed to keep
one eye on the Massachusetts, green
back convention, and thereby baggcd
their nomination for governor. He
had his other eye focused on the
democratic convention, and indica
tions are that he will bottle that, too.
An exchange says the attempts Of the
sWiTel-eyed statesman to beguile
soptherners into supporting him for
the presidency, however, will result
In failure. Their memories are
Tetentiye.
- Frequent mention has been made
in times past of the likelihood of
British Columbia being annexed to
the United States sooner or later;
and, in hct, many think the result
would be speedily accomplished We're
it left to vote of British Columbia
citizens. It was reserved, however,
for the prime minister of that prov
ince to discover signs Of a dissolution
OF the .. S. goyernment and the
probable annexation of Washington
Territory to British Columbia. The
idea is certainly a new one, and the
gentleman need not trouble himself
to get out patent on it; he will as
suredly be left in sole possession.
His sentiment was expressed in a
speech at Victoria at dinner given
by the American journalists who ac
companied Willard on his recent eel
sbrating tour. Evidently they have
double condensed yillainous whiskey
in Victoria when it can put such
wild ideas into any ones head.
A great deal has been said about
the ''Oregon style" of journalism, and
Of politics in times past; but the
latest "style" in her politics, put
forth for an admiring world to EMU
late, certainly takes the cake-if not
the whole culinary outfit. A con-
tract has just been published which
was entered into by Portland's pres
eat mayor, DR.. Chapman, previous to
his election, and by which city offices
were to be peddled out for coin.
Chapman, to the disgust of the pub
lie, defends the action and claims a
right to have made such a bargain.
Truly such ''style" of politics is
wonderfully peculiar! To the credit
of the newspapers of that state and
this territory, be it said, they are
unanimous in condemnation of such
practices Let such men as DR..
Chapman has proven himself, be rel
egated to private life where they can
no longer disgrace positions of public
trust-where their corrupt bargains
can no longer affect the public.

Ninety-sixth Birthday.

Venerable Lady's Birthday Reception
 -An Interesting Occasion.
 Mrs. Amelia Clark, in commemoration of her ninety-sixth birthday, received callers yesterday at the residence of her daughter in-law, Mrs. E. B. Clark, No. 61 Asylum street. Mrs. Clark was born in Wood bridge March 16, 1787, and lived there until December, 1881, when she came to reside with her daughter-in-law in this city. Her father was Elisha Osborn, living in Woodbridge. who died at the age of 4s years. Her mothers name was Elizabeth Peck, who lived to be 80 years old. She had two chil- dren. Elizur E. Clark, who was one of the first match makers in this part of the coun- try, and-William A. Clark, who was engaged in the manufacture of extension bits in Westville.
 Mrs. Clark has outlived her whole family and half of her grandchildren. Her great grandchildren number ten. Mrs. Clark has always attended the Methodist church and is anxious to go now as soon as the weather be- comes a little more moderate. Last summer she took her first steamboat excursion, going to Glen Island. Captain McAllister showed her all the attentions lying in his power and she looks forward with pleasure to the time when she will be able to go again. Mrs. Clark in personal appearance is about the medium height, erect and rather feshy. She retains all her senses unimpaired, except that of hearing, which is slightly defective. She received several gifts, among them fancy birthday cake presented by Mrs. William A. Clark. Refreshments were served on an old fashioned blue and white tea set, which she has had upwards of seventy years.

Compulsory Vaccination.

Dr. Noah Greasy, of Hartford, in his argu- ment before the Judiciary committee, Thurs day afternoon, in behalf of the State board of health, against the repeal of the compul- sorry vaccination law, expressed firm belief in the efficiency of cow-pox inocula- tion, and said it was the only means of pre- venting an epidemic. He took issue with Dr. Luddington (who spoke in favor of re- peal the day before) in the assertion that a person may have the smallpox more than once In Dr. Cressy's opinion one attack exhausts the blood of the matter upon which the disease feeds, and prevents 8 recurrence. Cow-pox inoculation, he said, is but much modified form of the disease, and prevents it just as fully, without the attending constitu- tional disturbances hence the benefit ot vaccination with cultivated or attenuated virus which he believed to be thoroughly effcacious and protective. Dr. Greasy closed with a summary of the development, growth and benefits of protective inoculation.

Dr. Goodsell, has been assisted in the work by an old and valued friend, the Rev. MT. Thurston, an evangelist from Syracuse, New York. The sermons Of Mr. Thurston were of rare power, devoid of the emotional, but are vivid and striking, appealing direct ly to the conscience of his hearers and we'll calculated to arouse earnest thoughts con- corning the Christian life

Two Drowning Cases.

An unknown man was drowned in the Park river at Hartford Thursday evening. He broke through the ice while intoxicated, and perished in sight of various persons who could not help him. The body is yet to be recovered.
 Deacon Alpha R. Campbell was drowned while fishing through the ice nearly opposite the residence of Douglas Tracy on the Hope vile road, near Jewett City, sometime Thursday. He started out in the forenoon with his son Orson, who after remaining short time returned home. leaving his father alone on the ice. AS he failed to come home at the proper time his son returned to the place, only to discover his fathers hat, a string of pickerel and hole in the ice, which was enough to tell the sad tale. A crowd soon gathered, but could do nothing towards recovering the body.
