TO DECEIT JUSTICE.

There are indications that the
Republican members of the gen
ersl assembly have made up their
minds that there shall be no re-
apportionment of the legislative
districts by the extra session. The
Constitution of the State DEGREES
that there shall be an apportion-
ment based ON the enumeration of
the qualified voters of the State !;
the Republicans in the assembly
simply defies the Constitution and
will decline to obey it, as they did
last winter, when, with the aid Of
powerful lobby, the plain re-
quirements of the Constitution of
the Commonwealth were defeated.
Common fairness requires re-
apportionment that representation
may be just and equal; the Re-
publican minority does not want
representation to be just and equal
and it cares nothing for common
fairness. Its attitude is one Of con-
tempt alike for the plain require.
ments of the Constitution and fol
the fundamental principles of rep.
resentative government, namely
equality. Under the present ap-
portionment at least 100000 inhab.
itants are without representation
IN the law-making and tax-yotine
body. 1t seeks in the State as il
the Nation to retain by force ant
fraud what it can not hold by thu
votes Of the people. 1t differs only
in methods, and Democrats mus
not be deceived in any move tina
has for its object the defeat Of 1
re-apportionment bill based on tn,
plain requirements Of the Consti
tuition.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

To the Chronicle:
| want to call the attention Of
our people to a matter that deserves
the serious consideration of every
taxpayer in the county, namely,
the convict-lease question. The
condition of affairs at Briceville
has provoked more or less discus
sion as to how these difficulties are
to be overcome, and at the same
time not interfere with the rights
of free labor. 1t is not right that
the convicts should take the place
of miners, nor will the people sub
NIT to be taxed for the purpose Of
maintaining the States criminals
in idleness. The best solution of
the subject would be for the gen.
eral assembly to pass bill to pur-
chase 5000 or 1000 acres of land
in some suitable place in the State
and employ the convicts in build
ing new penitentiary amend the
penal code SO that the petty offend
ers will not be sent to the peniten-
tiary, but to the warehouses or
jails of the counties of such offend
ers, to be worked on public high
ways or as directed by the coun-
ty courts. In this way the number
Of convicts would soon be reduced
to 700 or 800. Classify these, and
confne the most hardened crimi-
nails inside the prison walls to man.
ufacturing their own shoes, cloth
ing and for all other State depend
ents; put the others to work on the
farm to provide their own food and
for all other criminals of the State.
In this way the penitentiary could
be made self-sustaining, or nearly
so. Then lease no more forever
AS to the present disposition of the
unexpired lease, if the general as.
sembly has the courage to do so, il
will settle this question and end the
lease system. FARMER.

TIE EDITION CfSE.

In regard to the BRITToN case
for which every one connected with
it, and no one in particular, is re-
ceiving more or less censure be-
cause the case was not disposed of
at once-it was understood that if
the jury returned a verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree, with miti-
eating circumstances, the prisoner
would have received a life sentence
in the State penitentiary. His
counsel entered a plea of murder
in the first degree, with the under
standing that the jury consider nit
igating circumstances in returning
their verdict The jury failed to
agree, and a mistrial was entered.
Ten Of the jurors were disposed to
render a verdict based on this I'M
derstanding and the charge Of the
Judge, and two were in favor of
murder in the first degree, only.
Public opinion is greatly at vari-
ance on the agreement entered into
and the charge to the jury. We
take it that the two jurors were not
satisfied with the mitigating cir
cumstances. Be that as it may, If
there were mitigating circumstan-
ces-if the fact had been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant was insane, why confne
him in the State penitentiary? Il
