The Penitentiary Ring AT 1T Again.

EDITOR CLARIoN--I learn that a bill
has been introduced in the Legislature
looking To the hiring OF the Penitentiary
conyicts to individuals 40 WORK ON PLAN
rATIoNs or ANYWHERE ELSE THE LEs-
SEES MAY CHOOSE TO woRR THEM, aud
that the State shall receive from such les.
sees sum Of money for the Penitentiary
aud convets. This is an adroit scheme for
the leasing OF the Penitentiary and CON
victs in a. manner aud for purpose in
direct opposition to the will of the people
as expressed through the press of the en-
tire State. After the numerous IMPRESSIONS
Of public sentiment on this subject, it
would be little leas than an outrage FOR
the Legislature to pass an act empowering
the lessees of the Penitentiary to sub.let
convicts TO work on farms. 1t is the
known will of the people that after the
present lease terminates, the convicts shall
be either kept inside the walls Of the Peni-
Tertiary or worked ON public works. The
sentiment opposed to their being worked
on farms is growing every day, and We do
hope that the Legislature will respect the
win of their constituents, and refuse to
counteuance this odious leasing system any
further, The House has already shown by
vole Of q to |, that the sentiment in that
body is opposed to working convicts on
farms, and il | mistake not, the sentiment
of the Senate is about the same.
If members of the Senate and House
would just turn 10 the published reports OF
the Superintendent OF the Penitentiary for
the years past, and the report of the inves-
tigating committee OF last session, and see
the enormous death rate Of the conviets in
the swamp, as compared with those work
cd in other portions OF the State and at the
