WEST VA. PENITENTIARY.

A Released Convict Makes q Slater aent.
The Present Excellent Management.
To he EtiitOr Of he Register:
SIR:-If yOu will give me space in your
valuable paper would like to say few
words regarding the present management
Of the West Virginia penitentiary. In the
first place l would say that have served
a sentence of two years, and during that
time we had three superintendent, Messls.
Peck, Ewing and Robertson, and contrary
to the assertions which have appeared in
the IaieiigeReer and Moundsville papers
from time to time, better discipline has
existed under the management OF Superin-
tendent Robertson and Capt. johnson
without the cruel modes OF punishment
used before those gentlemen were placed
over us than ut any time during my stay
there. The men are getting along first
rate, protected az they are from grasping
and although the past winter
was considered u very unhealthy one,
sickness and death have been almost
unknown within the walls. Would the
doubtful reader, examine the reports of the
past five years if he doubts this. The
men appreciate this, and are willing to
perform the tasks assigned them cheerful
ly. The food is good and wholesome, and
every man is allowed to eat until be Is
The guards are gentlemsnly
lot of men, and treat all equally. Al
though at different times ill-feelipg has
existed against the efficient Captain, Mr..
T. ]. Johnson, a man who in every way Is
competent for the position he fills, but the
men who go free can leave no better wish
for the welfare of those lett behind than
that Mr.. Johnson will live long to execute
Justice without particularly to one add
all.
Some one may feel enough interested in
this letter to want to know who l am and
what l was in the pen for. My charge was
assault with intent to kill. Aud l was
not like most men confined there innocent,
on the contrary, to q certain extent, | was
guilty. l will state my case that all may
Judge.
l was in company with young lady,
and two men, father and son, insulted her,
ADD I went TO the mans house and asked
him to apologize to her; this he refused
TO do. / went in and gave him whip
ping. He had me arrested, and got two
wears for it. Now l ask the public what
man of honor would not have done the
same? Perhaps some one would say that
| ought to have taken milder form oil
chastisement, but pnder .he impulse oil
the moment could do no better. Bnt
enough of this; / must close, but cannot
do so without thanking the ladies of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
for the interest they manifest in behalf
of those Who are 80 unfortunate as to be
confined within prison walls. | also thank
the officers and guard Tho are at prese@ con-
nected with the institution for their im-
partial treatment OF me while placed under
their charge; and wishing my fellow prls'
oners, and in fact everyone, a prosperous
life, am Yours respectfully,

STOCKS The stock market was not only
again strong, continuing the advance
which has lasted all through the month,
but it showed largely increased volume
of business and gave evidences of broaden
ing ont materially. There was put
moderate business at the opening, which
was strong for everything, except st. Paul,
but the market began to raise immed-
lately and the volume of business
increased rapidly. st. Paul led the
advance during the first hour and
soon gained over point, while the i'm
provement in other shares was confined
to fractional amounts only. The market
became quiet in the afternoon, but the
advance continued uninterrupted, aud in
the last hour there was more animation
with more decided advance throughout
the list. The close was fairly active and
strong at the hest prices of the day. The
active list is almost invariably higher this
evening and Pullman rose 2 per cent.
