A MORBID SYMPATHY.

n E1VAOk0 NAA "A - -
Ever since the little misnnder-
standing, some two months ago, in
relation to the selection of a chap
lain for the renitentiaiy there has
sprung up in certain quarters a pre-
tentious sympathy for the convicts
under the care of the lessee in the
various camps throughout the State.
Tales of cruelty have been trumped
up from time to time that were har-
rowing in their details, and if true,
should have brought down upon the
lead Of the lessee and his managers
prompt and condlgn punishment.
This outbreak of sudden sy mpathy
has been too systematic to be real; it
impresses the casual observer as hav-
ing been gotten up for the purpose
of raiding Col. James, the lessee,
rather than from real sympathy for
the treatment received by the mnr.
derers, burglars and highwaymen
confined in the several camps.
There is POSSIBLY more or less truth
in the complaints being made
through the papers to arouse the in
dignation of all humane persons IN
the State, but it will be safe to say
that nine-tenths Of them are mere
hearesay statements, passed around
from paper to paper and losing
nothing of their morbid monstrous
ness in their travels. When fair
and impartial statement IS made by
an actual observer of the cruel NAL
treatment complaned-of towards tht
conslcts it should be speedily fol
lowed up. and prompt issue made
nnder the law as between the lessee
with his agents and the laws of ths
state.
Our reasons for being considers
bly, incredulous with regard to those
sensational stories of cruelty in con
Wet camps are well founded. Fo
several years past there has beer
successive camps Of copyicts on th'
leyees in this parish, and as far a
close and watchful observance o.
their management gees, there ha
been nothing seen to justify the will
storys put afoat. About month
ago Captain Jamison, manager TO
the lessee, brought to the Proyidenc'
reach above town a camp of abou
2l0 convicts to work on the levee
We get our information with regart
to this camp from DR.. w. d. Bell
who is the physician in attendance
having been in practice here over p
years, his statements can be strict,
relied on. He visits the camp tw'
or three times week, as the condl
ton Of the patients may require, AM
closely notes all the surroundings
/ The Doctor tells US everything i
extremely clean, clothing abundant
/ food substantial and well cooked
convicts are treated with uniform
kindness, sick carefully nursed, wit
/ prompt medical attention In sucl
a rough crowd insubordinatlcn vii
occasionally break out, but Their
has been but two whipped durinI
the month. No deaths, all cheer
fully and working freely.
/ This much for Mr.. Jamison'
camp in East Carroll and here a
least, morbid sympathy can have n
4 foot-hold.
