Constitution which followed the sup
preston of. the Rebellion. For it is obvious
that a system which permits and provides for
the sale of human beings into slavery for years
under the shallow pretext Of Furnishing SIM
pie msdemcanOr, is in cOnrraventlon or the
organic law. The Southern convict system
however, is a disgrace to the white men OF the
South, and must react upon them more disas-
trously than upon the c0lorcd people against
whom it is directed. The time is gone when any
considerable body of public opinion could be
had in support of such barbarous methods.
Punishment will have to be made proportlonate
to the offence. Slavery, under no matter what
disguise, will have to be abandoned. The
shameful abuses which have grown up on the
convict farms and camps will have to be purged
away. The matreatmcnt of the cOlored people
against whom petty offences are charged must
stop. and they must be treated as white mis-
dcmeanants are treated elsewhere, or the sol
ldity" of the SOUTH to say the least, Will be

TuE S0TJHEEN C0NyIcY SYSTEM

Many accounts have lately been published of
the treatment of negro con,icts in Southern
States The system which has been adopted
is of Kind to fustcr tho worst abuses. When
negro is convicted of some petty offence he is
first sentenced out of all proportion to the
offence committed, and is then handed over to
contractor. who works him with single eye to
getting the most out Of him. or he is sent to
one Of the county nyict farms and there sub
icctcd TO the same general maltreatment. In
Georgia and Arkansas this evil is apparently
particularly rank In most Southern States the
law, in dealing with cOlorcd citizens, rcycrscs
the maxim that man shall be deemed inno-
cent until proved guilty. When n negro Is
accused Of any petty offence no is delivered
over to contractor pending indictment and
trial and the only alienation of his condition
consists in the provision that if after all he is
acquitted he shall be given whatever money he
may have earned. As the rate of pay under the
contractor is less than half what n free man can
earn, tins is not much Of compensation.
The provision that negro conyicts shall work
out the costs OF their trial as well as the fine
imposed as penalty. lcngthcns their sentences
enormously. Thus n man may be practically
condemned TO two or more years of slave labor
for getting drunk, or fighting, or stealing
chicken. OF course the contract system tends
TO encourage inhumanily, and as the State cX-
clciscs no supervision over the leased cOnyicts,
their lives are literally and absolutely in the
hands of the contractors, who have no incen
tive to moderation or care in working them be-
vond the necessity Of making them pay the
amount deposited in liquidation of their lia-
biliiy TO the State. Naturally and it might be
said inevitably, the utmost brutality and
neglect prevail in the management of the con-
Wet camps, The prisoners are ll-fed, ill-clad,
ill-honscd and worked ptllcssly. 1t is said,
and may easily be credited, that the rate of
mortality in these filthy camps is abnormal. 1t
is said that the sick receive little or no attcn-
ton. The plain fact is hat the Southern States
have revived the very worst and most OdiOus
features of slavery in arranging their convict
system, and have established in their penal
codes the most barbarous and uncvilized prac-
tces of the old regime.
The theory underlying such legislation and
criminal administration, though unavowe ed, Is
none the less apparent. 1t is that the negro
il an inferior being, not entitled to the cOnsid-
Grafton dne the white man, but to be oppressed
and driven and abused without conjunction.
Perhaps, also, some Southerners experience
certain satisfaction in Indirectly crcum-
venting and violating the spirit, If not

1t will be pretty generally conceded, we be-
lcvc, that none but burglar OF the very finest
feelings could have written the above, and Its
existence is well calculated to cause the blush
of shame To mantle the checks of the cracks
men OF the East. There may be exceptions but
rs a rule the burglars of the Atlantic scaboard
do not draw the line at presents. They draw
il at a rcd-hot stove. We don't ever remember
to have heard of burglar whose chosen iie ld

silver card clsc worth $40 on the romantic
ground that it was present ana that
the whtc-winecd angel OF Duty would
not suffer him to take anything which
came under the head ofgIJe domoW.
In thus voluntarily smrcndrring an elegant
piece Of silver. which lie had earned by the
sweat of his dark lantern and at the rl'h oi
