GLARrNG AND FEARFUL LWRoNG.-There would
not be 50 much objection to hiring out these poor
degraded creatures ifthe State was thereby bene-
fitted and they were properly treated and cared
for ; but. from the death.rate which usually
occurs among those who are hired out, there must
be something glaring and fearfully wrong
Although these people have committed crime,
have violated laws and do deserve the pu nish-
ment assigned to them, yet they arc hun on
beings. and the law does not prescribe cruelty or
illireatment for these offences. lit is never too
late to mend, and we trust that the proper au-
thorties will see that these abuses arc corrected.
