MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



JACKSON. Dec. 7.-When the penn
tent.ary board OF control convened 10
again lease the convicts for the next
twelve months, beginning In January IL
was met with many protests from the
present lessees that the hire OF the con-
victs had been placed at too high
figure. This argument was based on the
low price OF cotton and the general de-
preston in agricultural pursuits. Inc
next year is the last one the convicts
can he leased, as the constitution pro-
kibits the leasing after that time. In
compliance with previous complaints
the board reduced the price OF convicts
from 80 per month to 81, and could not
see its way clear to making a much
larger reduction. 1t was commended thaS
the figure should not be fixed higher
than SO per month. After canvasslng
the question in all its bearings, the
board concluded to reduce the hire TO
s7.s0. The-lessees are not only required
to furnish the convicts with good whole
some food and proper clothing, but be-
sides, must pay their doctor bills, re-
wards for escapes, and good many
other incidental expenses ofthis charac-
ter. At the 81. 50 figure the board today
leased SIS. The total number on hand
is 767, but large number OF these,
owing to old age and bodily infrmities'
are unfit for manual labor. AS showing
the rapid increase in the number OF con-
victs for the past few years, the follow
ing figures are given: In 1891 there
were 5i3, in 1892, COL, and 1893, 7G7. by
January, 1895, the board thinks the
number on hand will amount to fully
500 As they are not to be leased after
that date the folly OF undertaking tt
care for that number in the walls il
here seen. The board suggests that
large body of fertile land be purchased
on which the convicts can be placed
when the time for further leasing ex
pires.
The report of the board shows tn
death rate at some Of the camps to hav
been very large, while at others 1T ha
been small. The death rate inside tn
walls was LEO and 1.92 for the two year
U lust ended, OF those leased the annua
q death rate was 6.2l. For the two year
? OF the leased prisoners 65 have died.

Thrasller-Enloe.


The attorneys in the Thrasher-
Enioe contest case continued TAX
ing proof until Monday.
The effort on the part Of Mr..
Enloe's attorney, Col. Brown, was
to show that the poll tax law was
not complied with in this county.
Also that the registration law ap.
piled to this, the 4th, district, and
that voters did not register. And
for these reasons the vote OF the
county will be challenged before
Congress.
Mr.. Thrasher's attorney, Mr.
Lancaster, combatted the poll tax
law in his cross examinations with
the theory that the judges of
election permitted no one to vote
except those who exhibited their
poll tax receipts or otherwise sat
isfed the judges that their poll tax
had been paid.
The question of the registration
law applying to the 18th district
was combatted with the theory
that the registration law operated
under the census Of 1880, which
does not give the 4th district tho
requisite population to require
registration, instead of the census
of 1890, which does give the dis
trict the requisite population. Be-
cause the election officers had no
official notice Of the population
of the district.
Another point made by Mr..
Thrasher's attorney was that
two of the Registrars appointed by
the Governor were Democrats and
refused to serve, while the other
one appointed was a Republican
and properly qualified but could
not act alone.
