North Carolina Penitentlary,

A member of the staff of the Caroni-
Gle examined the wardens reports for
1879 and 1880 and found that Mr.. Ca
ble's figures and statements and quota
tions are correct. And horrible show
ing it is. But it is only proper to say
that the period covered by these reports
was the period when the convicts we're
confined in the temporary quarters, which
have now been abandoned. There is,"
says Mr.. Cable, "no hospital record given
concerning them, (those at wor k outside
the penitentiary,) nor any physicians
account of their sickness" No such
record or account was published in the
warden's report-which neglect the war.
den will himself agree was mistake
but such record and reports were made
and kept regularly. And no convict has
ever died or ever been sick but the dis.
ease and the cause of death are on re.
cord. Mr.. Gable, therefore, has made
only just and accurate description from
the facts that be had. Unluckily all the
facts were not published. But during
the years when the convicts occupied the
old quarters the prison WAS inhuman, no
doubt about it. Now, however, there is
not more humane or more nearly scien.
ti6caliy perfect prison in the Union than
the North Carolina Penitentiary. A
member of the Chronicles staff visited it
on Tuesday: and, as everybody knows,
who knows anything about it, the North
Carolina Penitentiary marks an entirely
new era in prison construction and man
agement IN North Carolina. The death
rate in the Penitentiary has decreased
steadily since the occupation of the pres
ent building. In 1881 it was less than 6
per cent, and in 1882 less than 8. This
is not bad showing when it is remem-
bered that the penitentiary is not simply
a penitentisry, but for lack of better di.
vision of such work in North Carolina,
and for lack of reformatories and special
prisons for the decrepit and diseased
convicts, it is all these things combined.
A much larger proportion OF feeble con-
yicts are sent here than to Northern
penitentiaries.
Mr.. Cable will be glad to be informed
that in the matter of prison reform the
North Carolina Penitentiary has within
three years stepped forward at least two
hundred years in improvements. Mr..
Cables discussion, to prove that the lease
system is wrong, that is another question,
and one that is not now pertinent. But
Mr.. Cable, and all other humane persons
who think of prison in any other way
than as G place Of torture, may we'll feel
heartily ashamed Of most of the county
iails in North Carolina.-Raleiqh CAron.

Who is the First Lady2

WASHINGTON, January 3O.-President
Arthur has decided great question. He
offered his arm to Mrs. Carlisle and es-
corted that lady to the head Of the table
at the State dinner given at the White
House this evening. Mr.. Arthur held
a short consultation with his sister early
in the day. 1t did not take him long to
decide the question, Who is the first
lady? "The title properly belongs to
Mrs. Carlisle" he said, firmly, "and she
shall have it, cost what it may" Mrs.
Frelinghuysen stood waiting e1pectantly
in the reception room before dinner was
announced. The guests were chatting
easily together. Aleck appeared in the
doorway and bowed to the President.
Mr.. Arthur arose and.gracefully rendered
his arm 10 the Speakers wife. Mrs.
Frelnghuysen was the third on the list.
She looked for few moments as if she
vas sorry she came, but the cloud soon
passed away.

The Senator's Clerks.

On the 23rd ult. Senator NJ. c. Butler
called up his resolution, that each Sena-
tor, except the chairmen Of standing or
select committees of the Senate, shall be
entitled to clerk or secretary at a salary
of 81 900 annually, the same to be paid
out Of the contingent fund of the Senate.
In supporting this measure he said: II
shall not detain the Senate more than a
moment, and simply to say that there are
now torty.one Senators holding the posi-
tion of chairmen of committees, standing
or select, in the Senate, leaving thirty
FIVE without clerical assistance; 80 that
if the resolution pass it would involve
the appointment of but tbirty.6ve add.
tional clerks for the Senate. In offering
the resolution l had no design of increas-
ing what are known as the personal per-
quisites of Senators. My object was
simply to increase the clerical force of
the Senate, and in my judgment increase
the efficiency of the public service. l
simply ask vote upon the resolution
without further remarks" The resolu.
tion prevailed by a vote Of 30 to 13-
both Carolina and Georgia Senators vo.

!Abbeyille' Juries.

On the 25th an interesting trial came
off before Trial Justice Harkness. The
case was about some cotton, and Oscar
Price, the plaintiff, sued John Price, the
defendant, for s35. The plaintiff man.
aged his own case, and Capt. NJ. L. Bon.
ham, Jr., appeared for the defendant
After argument, the intelligent jury rem.
dered verdict in behalf Of the plaintiff
for $50 40. As the suit was only for s95,
the plaintiff was much surprised at his
skill as a lawyer. The defendant and
his attorney were equally astonished, and
not being able to see into it gave notice
of appeal. This is not the only remark
able verdict given by an Antreville jury.
Some years ago, at an inquest held over
dead body, the jury returned verdict
that the deceased "was killed and mur.
dered by some person unknown" that he
"feloniously killed himself" and that he
"came to his death by accident. ."-Abbe.

first day of July, 1884, be levied, collect
ed, or paid in excess of 40 per csntum
ad yalorem or its equivalent on cotton
and cotton goods, so per centum ad
yalorem or its equivalent on metals, and
60 per centum ad valorem on wool and
woollen goods Provided, That no duty
shall be reduced below that imposed by
the Morril tariff Act Of 1861. The fol-.
lowing articles are to be admitted free

The South Carolina College.

There are now 1913 students enrolled at
the South Carolina College. The semi
annual examinations will begin to-mor.
row and last two weeks. The second
term will begin on the 18th instant, and
the enrolments will then aggregate over
200 for the session. There would now be
200 students in attendance but for the
fact that number of applicants have
been rejected on account of their lack OF
preparation. The standards for admiss-
ion are being raised every term and are
already very much higher than they
were last session. The average atten.
dance is very large. Very few students
are ever absent. Their health has been
exceptionally good. The College is doing
its work quietly, but thoroughly and
successfully, and the department. Of the
students is admirable. The following
additional College notes will be of inter-
est: The joint societies some time since
elected e1-President Jefferson Davis to
deliver the address before the societies at
the next commencement, but Mr.. Davis
has declined the invitation, as he has
been compelled to decline similar invita-.
tons from other institutions, on account
of his ill-health. Mr.. VIM. G. Preston
has recently been elected President Of
the Euphradian Society and Mr. E. g.
Seibels President of the Cariosophic
Society. A fine choir has been organized
for the Sunday services at the chapel, at.
tendance upon which is now compulsory.
The music is admirable and the services
are attended by number of outside par
ties.
One hundred and five. students board
at the College mess hall, twenty-five
more have private mess, and the re.
mainder board elsewhere in the city.
Football is the popular game at the
College now, and the collegians are anx.
ious to get up match game, but do not
know of any other experts at the game

- Three human bodies incased in hay
and compressed into two ordinary whisky
casks came to Chicago from Baltimore
by the American Express. One Of the
barrels contained tho bodies of two
adult white males and the other that of
a colored man. The police on making
the discovery arrested John Carlson, a
veterinary surgeon, who paid the express
charges and the driver of the express
wagon who hauled the ghastly freight to
Charlson's place of business. The
bodies were addressed to Faukett, Barnes
& Co., suspicious firm, and it is thought
by the police that the bodies were inten-
ded for one of the medical colleges.

THE WEST AND THE SOUTH.

Tits, too, avery correct diagnosis of the

leading men from chat section towards
the South. From those men We have
reached tho conclusion that the embers
of the war of twenty years ago are fresh-
or in that section than any other part Of
our country. We said this feeling was
temporary, and would give place, upon
better acquaintance, to more amicable
relations. We are glad to have the as
surauce Of our, contemporary that there
is already . good state Of feeling there

The financial distress Of 1875 contrib.

The financial distress of 1875 contrib
uted very largely to the popular vote
received o. ne National Democratic
candidates in 1876. If the hard year of
1sSs4will perform the same service for
our, candidates in 1884, we will have 8
very y considerable compensation for our

cial distress is often laid to the charge Of

probable that the present hard year will
contribute to the 6ght against the Re-

The Springer investigating committee
If yigorous,in its work, will do more for
the Democratic party in the coming can.
Yass than any tariff bill which can pos
sibly be passed or agitated at this session
of Congress. The principal issue at the
present time ought to be the abuses OF
the Republican administration. That is
a plank upon which every Democrat can
stand, and nov in the financial troubles
which surround our people, no stronger
or more effectual plea for the votes Of
the people can be made than by showing
the corruption, the e1travagance and the
general disregard for the interests for the
people, which prevails in The present
management of the government. Mr.
Springer in starting these Investigations,
has struck the strongest ground upon
which the Democracy can stand. Tho
South and West are favorable to tariff
reduction, but the Northern and Middle
States favor a continuance of protection.
The South is largely Democratic while
the West is largely Republican. No
change Of votes of consequence will be
made in these sections on either side, let
the tariff be what it may. The South.
will go Democratic independently of the
tariff issue, and the West will 60 Repub-
lican regardless of it. In our opinion,
the policy for the next canvass is to
adopt the Wing tactics of 1910, when
Harrison and Tyler were overwhelmingly
elected on an issue upon the abuses OF
the administration. To succeed, ne
must carry New York and Indiana.
These States can, We believe, be easily
carried, If the canvass is made for that
purpose. In such canvass the tariff
cannot be the leading issue. The, work OF
the Springer committee will gain moro
votes if well done in these States than
any other work the present Congress
may do. =.
