Nat Worth Knowing.

"There is law of this State which pro-
vdes that the Governor and Attorney General
shall publish in one or more newspapers IN
each county such of the acts of the Gener. As
sembly as they may deem of sufficient impor-
lance to the welfare and interest of the people
| to be made known.
| And the prudent Governor and his learned
Attorney General say that none of the laws
passed at the last session of the Legislature are
of that much importance, which is pretty
severe cut at the late honorable and distinguish.
ed body oflawmakers who spent ninety days III
legisa ton at the State capital last winter.
Possibly the Governor and The Attorney Gen
eral are correct in their estimate Of the value
of these acts of the Legislature, They ought
10 know They went over them carefully, one
10y one to see if there was even one law of I'M
portance enough to lie known by The people.
They found none. TIE G 'vernor and Attorney
General are both eminent lawyers, aud should
be competent judges OF the value and import
ance of Acts of Assembly. 1t is Notifying,
however. TO The average citizen, taxpayer and
Democrat, TO have the ex cuive department of
the State government place such an Gthclal eS-
innate on the ork of the leg islnlive depart
ment; aud TO have that estimate advised and
endorsed by the States Attorney General. We
begin to understand now Why the Governor
made snch delay in signing The Acts OF Assem-
big. He probably thought they were not worth
the trouble of putting his name to them while
he had anything else to do. hats not
worth knowing is not worth signing was
probably the syllogiSm that ran through the
executive mind. - Eiston Ledgcr.
If the L-dg.r is wrong in its conclusions in
regard TO The moi til OF these laws, would ii not
be well for the Governor and Attorney Genera.

they have failed so far in complying with the

Alexander Gets Hts Threshing-
At half past IL o'clock on Sunday night
Sheriff Smoot accompanied by Messrs. l..
Burch and Wesley Bowie as witnesses, repaired
TO the Jail and inflicted ON Grandson Alex
ander, Jr., the ten lashes that he was recently
sentenced to receive by the Court. The pri-
soner was tied by his hands and knees TO one
o the iron doors of the cell, his back::bared and
the ten lashes laid on with a mulberry switch.
He made no outcry whatever and must have
taken his punishment very quietly, as James
Canter, who was confined in cell just beneath,
slept soundly during The whole performance,
Alexander was set at liberty early the same
morning.

Protecting Citizens Rights.
Gov. Thomas, in arguing demurrer to an
indictment charging the violation of an Act OF
Ass, ntly two days after it bad been signed by
the Governor, and before il had been published,
made the point that it was at least contrary to
the spirit of the bill of rights and Of the con-
stitution TO punish citizen for the violation oil
a law of whose existence it was impossible be
should know. The Governor showed that ths
State had provided for bringing the knowl.dg'
of the Acts of Assembly home to the people by
directing the publication of all local laws tina
take effect as soon as passed in the home news
papers. The court was evidently in sympathy
with Governor Thomas views, although th'
point went over for decision TO the Nov. mbe
term aston Ledger.

The complete destruction of the
state prison by fire, following so close
ly the partial burning Of that baild-
ing is singular, though not strange,
when the firm position Of the Cover
nor, relating to the rebuilding OF the
portion first destroyed, is taken into
consideration. The Governor felt
warranted in building that portion
without calling an extra session of
the legislature, but Ire will hardly
feel that it is within his province to
rebuild the entire structure. and
hence an extra session will be neces-
sary. The Governor and the Prison
Ring could not agree on the question
of a new building. 1t will be curious
to watch the deal between the Ring
and Legislature on this point. We
ought. no doubt, to have more conf
dence in the ultimate outcome of this
matter than we have, but If the ring
destroyed the State Prison to cali the
Legislature together. the probahili-
ties are that it was because they felt
confident rs to tho result. An inves-
tigatiun into the origin Of the fire
might foil the plans laid, but will it
be made!

Iowa. Indiana, Illinois .n.! Ohio are
the States most affected by the en-
barge placed on the American hog By
Germany and France, and members
of congress are very active in advo-
eating that retaliatory measures be
taken that will react upon these coun-
tries. The people of the other states
very naturally take ar interest in this
attempt of a sister Republic, and our
German cousins, 10 damage the pet in
dustries of four of our greatest states,
and, ,as advice of various kinds is being
given, we feel obliged to chip in and
suggest that congress Immediately
pass an act forbidding the manufac-
ture or drinking Of the German ma
tional beverage beer. This is severe
measure, but, when the insult offered
to the average Ohio or Indiana man is
considered, it is not too severe. We
al will suffer, because, whether from
inclination or association, we all like
our beer. We might get even with
France by paying China that little
bill which we have withheld from
her for these twenty years. The a.
mount is about twenty-five million
dollars This sum would come in
quite handy just at present. and
would enable China TO prosecute the
war with France with greater vigor.

Congress appears to be disposed to
l,,ol after the interests of the country
just now, as is shown in the action
taken in reference to land grants to
rail roads. This is both proper ard
wise, and will do much to restore the
confidence Of a much abused public.
Every acre of land that has not been
f;iliy and honestly earned should be
forfeited and held for tie use of the
people to whom it belongs, and while
this is being done il would be graft.

infamous in its inception, and if al
loved to pass will be disastrous in
it's results to the northwest and the

shal! th, Saltwater Psiss. }. g:hgi!ss,

1t seems rs if the fire-bu2 were de
termined to obliterate all traces Of
our Saltwater penitentiary. Besides
simplifcation of affairs political, we
are at a loss, just at present. to deter
mine exactly the effect such an event
would have on the general welfare.
It occurs to us, however, that the
Governor, with the aid of the Legis.
lature, might do something with a
view to the exigencies Of the future,
by doing away with the Saltwater
penitentiary. 1t will not be long in
the natural order of things, before
this state will require two snch III
stitItions. In such case, Saltwater
is out OF the question. We do not
believe that the contract with the
Prison-ring means anything more
than a contract for labor where that
labor is provided By the state. makes
no difference. We move therefore
that the replacing of expensive build
iuSS din " u h5iOtS sbS toiii " fSSCi
would be in violation of the princi-
pies OF economy, and not in the line
Of the march of progress which should
characterize state like ours.
In Pennsylvania there are two PEN
itentiaries; Philadelphia. in the east
ern division Of the state is the seat of
enc, and Pittsburgh, in the western.
the seat of the other. Let the repre-.
sentativcs Of the people therefore
take this matter into consideration.
I; .e for the western institution
we present the claims Of Morris, the
eligibility of which our able repre-
sentative in the Legislature can make
clearly manifest. 1t is time that We
in this much neglected part of the
state, should make demand, at least,
for some sort of recognition in keep
ing with our growing Importance.
Winona would seem to be The fitting
place for the location OF the eastern
institution.
