ATLANTA, Ga, July 1s-It is learned that
the men Corley and Longley, who were ar
rested for forging East Tennessee, Virginia
& Georgia railroad tickets, are notorious
counterfeiters who have been circulating
spurious coin in this vicinity.
The police have found dies, metal and
other paraphernalia for counterfeiting
quarters and half dollars in a house occupied
by the men. 1t is stated that the United
States officials have been aware of Corley
and Longley's nefarious work for month

STARTLING FIGURES
Tie State Loses an Immense Sum
of Money Through Gov. Lowry's
Neglect of Duty.
The Governors Gross Carelessness
Runs the State in Debt.
MORE " PERSECUTION =

1t seems those who think the peniten-
tiary lessees enjoy bonanza must be
mistaken. When a business concern
fails to pay its debts the usual inference
is that its business is improbable.
Judged by this rule the lease of tue
penitentiary is poor investment.
The existing lease of this institution
began January l, 1881, and expires JAN
uery /, 1887. The amount to be paid
the State by the Lessees per annum ac-
cording to contract is $39, 10000. No
settlement has been made with the State
since 1882.
The Lessees, are, therefore, indebted to
the State of Mississippi as follows:
For 1888 .................... s39, APO 90
For 1884 .:..---:;;.- ........ 3s,42o 90
For 1885, it will owe. ........... 1920 90
Grand Total. ............s11s, 200 90
This Is not based on conjecture, but
upon the record.
Now let us turn from the figures to
Chapter Xxx of the Laws of 1884, page
%. We call the attention of the State
Ledger, Clarion, and other defenders of
the Governor, TO Section of this statute,
which is in the following language:
SEC. 2. Be it further enacted, That if
the lessees of the Mississippi penitentiary
shall fail or refuse to promptly pay into
the State Treasury, when the same
becomes due, the amount agreed to be
paid by them to the State on account of
the existing lease of said penitentiary,
it shall be the duty of the Attorney
General, upon being notified by the
Governor of such failure or refusal to
pay amount due, to institute suit at
once, and prosecute the same to judg
ment and satisfaction thereof against
said lessees and the sureties on their
bond for the amount in arrears, and the
amount 50 collected shall be paid into
the State Treasury; and it is hereby
made the duty of the Governor TO notify
the Attorney-General of such failure or
refusal to pay as soon DIS the fact of such
default comes TO his knowledge.
We are informed no suit has ever been
instituted. Is it persecution" to call
attention to this matter? We do not
hope to make any impression on the
machine managers. They are joined to
their idol. But we point out the figures
and the law to all disinterested mem
bers of the party, and ask in all sim
cerity, what think we of this? Probably
there would have been no necessity for
the issuance of State bonds if the Gov
ernor had promptly enforced the law
which provides for suing the peniten.
