TIL; CONVIt rs.

A good deal of discussion is now
going on in the newspapers OF this
State over tho convicts to the Pen
itentiary. A few, papers arc disposed
to treat tho question in q practical man.
ner, but the majority of them run
wild with a sickly sentimentality,
while some indulge in clap trap about
the wrong of bringing convict labor in
competition with honest free Labor
The scntimentalists go almost into
spasms over tho horrible treatment of
the upoor and unfortunate" cOnvicts.
Some of them even go SO far rs to com
plain that the cOnvictS are seldom
given leo water to drink this hot
weather; that the c0nvicts are half
starved, cruelty treated, and that those
who have been gently reared are forced
to do hard labor in heat and cold, and
as Il change they advocate that they be
kept within the walls of the penitcn-
tiary and not required or permitted to
do any such work as is done by tho
iabOrer, the mechanic or the artisan
of this country. Now, the fact is that
these cOnvicts are maicfactors, unde-
serving of the pity and scntimcntality
so gushingIy expended upon them.
Some of them are murucrerS, some
guilty of rape, some of arson, some
burglars, some thieves, and all of them
have violated the laws of God and
man and outraged society. Their ar
rest and prosecution has cost to the
parishes thousands of dollars, taken
from the taxes collected from the labor
and enterprise of the honest men Of tho
country.
We ask now, what do you, the hard
working people of the agricultural
districts of Louisiana, think of the
proposition to contine these outcasts
and scum of the earth within the walls
of the Penitentiary, where they are to
DO maintained in idieness aud fed on
the fat of the land at an enormous
expense TO the State: Are you pro-
pared to he further taxed for such
purpose, when you can avoid it by
adopting such system as will force
these culprits, by their labor, to main
tain themselves, protect the country
from overflow and develope and open
to settlement the unoccupied lands
throughout the State, and thus, in IA
manner, compensate tor the great
expense incurred by their arrest and
prosecution?
Just laws have condemned these con-
victs TO hard labor--forced labor. In
our opinion the intent of the law can
be best carried out, and the State be
most advantageously served, by con-
stantly Keeping the convicts employed
in building the levees and opening up
highways throughout the parishes. BY
highways, we mean good roads for free
public travel. We are opposed to the
convicts working for railroad corpora
lions. The employment of the convicts

in building levees and new highways
will not bring their labor in COMPETE
ton with that of any great number of
citizens of This State; for outside Of the
city of New Orleans the great mass OF
the laboring population are agriculture
lists, and their occupations leave them
but little time which they could give
to levce and road building. Even in
the city of New Orleans there are but
few of the citizens of this State who
engage in the character of work which
we wish to sec required of the cOnvicts.
Make the convicls build the tcvees and
open up good roads throughout the
parishes, both hill and alIuvial, and
thus an incalculab!e benefit will be
conferred upon the honest free labor of
the State. Garry out faithfully the idea
here suggested, and settlers will pour
into those portions of our State which
are now only wilderncsses or waste
places, and soon make them blossom
like garden.
In connection with this subject, we
can add that much of the talk about the
i'll treatment of the cOnvicts is gross
cXaggeration. From frequent personal
observation, the editor of this paper
knows that the cOnvicts are comfortably
clothed, not over-WOrked and they are
far better fed than three fourths of the
agricultural laboring population of the
State. Good treatment is the rulc-bad
treatment the exception.
