Anglo Indian Defense Society has been
formed here, for the purpose of watch.
ing over the interests of Europeans
and Americans in India. The imme-
date efforts of the society, however,

their own countrymen, and to defeat
the bill which permits the trial of
whites by native judges in certain
cases.

COUNTY WORKaOUSE.
Judge Greer's Ideas on the
Subject.

Judge James M. Greer addressed
the following communication to the
County Court this morning:
To the Worshipful County Court,
GENTLEMEN-At present there are
confined in the county Jail, under sen.
tence of the Criminal Court, twelve
misdemeanOr convicts. Their terms
Of Imprisonment vary from thirty
days to eleven months, besides such
time as they may be kept for fine and
costs. This number is likely to 20 on
increasing. To manv of them the
mere restraint of liberty is not re,
garded as serious punishment. The
expense to the county Of keeping each
of them is about fifty cents a day
Supposing the present number dimin-
ished-and do not see any likelihood
Of thiR-the county must therefore pay
each montb sbput the sum of $3.50
Judge Horrigan and Judge Pierce, in
constituting the act OF 1875, held that
the prisoners cannot be hired out
without being under the control oil a
Superintendent elected by your body
an not then without the consent Of
the convict. The present Legislature
has, however, ShaDgad this latter
qualification and disposed with this
consent. The act has several features
&C humane and just character which
need not be noticed. may say,
however, it will prevent any of the
cruelty which it was charged charac-
terized Prssi9apt's lslanl. If your
body will pardon me i9r making the
suggestion, you might at the present
term of your court. after electing a
Superintendent, adopt one Of three
means by which these Wisdemeanor
convicts Oopld be put to use in a
humane manner.
l. You might provide at once, for
the building of a woTkhouse in the
construction OF which the labor of
the prisoners could be used In the
event yog are Of the opinion the coun
tvs financial condition does not Jus
tify this, then 2ndiy,' you might direct
your superintendent to put the con
yicts to WsEk repairing and construct
ing roads and bridges. If this should
not be deemed practicable or wise,
then 9rdly, would suggest that you
hire them out under the recent act, in
a body. In the event yOushould con :
struCt a worShouse, q farm should be
attached and there should be a iuve
nila department. And in any event
some progision ought 10 be made
whereby children convicted Of crime
should be separated from the adult
prisoners, suitable work for their
years given them, aud some Feforma
tory system adopted to make of them
useful citizens. have ventured to
make these suggestions in the belief
that both your body and myself desire
to advance the public good,and think.
