JUSTIFIED BY THE FACTS.
The Grand JuTy'S Report on the Con-
ViCt Camps Endorsed.

Commissioner Carson Says the SAM
tary Condition of the Camps Is Bad
and Favors the Building of New
Quarters for the Prisoners Where
They Can be Better Cared For.
"The'presentments of the city court
grand jury have simply upheld what DR..
Charlton and myself have maintained all
along" said Commissioner Carson yes
terday when asked about the grand iury's
report on the convicts and the convict
camps.
Il rather expected the presentments
With regard to the bad sanitary condi-
ton of the camps. They NEE: with my
appreciation. The county raised s., 900 last
year for the purpose of building a new
camp. That money is now in the county
treasury, and can't be used for any other
purpose. favor taking immediate action
to establish this new camp.
The Southover camp, of which the
grand jury particularly disapproves, is
only temporary camp, and will be made
away with probably inside of a month.
The convicts there will be consolidated
with those Of Camp No. by June l.
THE presentments fully uphold and
justify the position taken by DIR. Charl-
ton, and if he brings up the matter again
for discussion he will have all the back
ing can give him.
With regard to the whipping of CON
victs, Mr.. Carson said he favors some
change in the present method as it is
no doubt left open to abuse whether taken
advantage of or not. He thought possibly
it would be a good idea to leave all the
whipping in charge of one of the captains
or guards at each camp.
''As to the food furnished the convlcts, :"
said Mr.. Carson, II beg leave to differ
with the grand jury. The food is good
and wholesome, and the rations are lib
eral and abundant. In evidence of that
statement it can be shown there is hardly
a convict taken off the gang who is not in
| better condition than when he went on
it. have heard of one or two instances
where negroes, in applying for work,
will say:
Boss Pm in good shape now, I'm Just
off the gang"
There is no doubt that the system
there improves their physical condition
as they observe regular and systematic
hours in everything"

TARIFF COMPROMISES.
The Democratic Senators Devote the
Day to the Sugar Schedule.

The Democratic Senators Devote the
Day TO the Sugar Schedule.
Washington, April 2S.-The democratic
senators who have been engaged in pre-
pairing the tariff compromise have been
considering the sugar duty especially to-
day and have decided, besides fixing a
tariff of 40 per cent. ad-valorm on all
sugars and e-eigift&a ii cert atirii-
tlonal on refined sugar, to impose a
further duty of one tenth Of a cent on
sugar imported from countries
paying a bounty to sugar producers
This last provision is supposed to be
aimed especially at Germany where a
bounty is paid on beet sugar. 1t has been
decided also to extend the time when the
sugar schedule shall take effect until
January, 1885, which will insure the
bounty under the Mckinley law for this
seasons crop. 1t is understood these two
provisions have been inserted in re-
Spouse to the earnest solicitations
OF the Louisiana senator's.
TIE HOUSE NOT CONSULTED.
The democratic tariff leaders of House
have not been consulted upon the tariff
compromise made among democratic SEN
ators. Leading members of ways
and means committee do not even
know the terms of the compro-
mise. Representatives Breckinridge of
Arkansas, Montgomery, Bynum, Bryan
and Turner of the committee made state
ments to this effect and most of the other
democratic members of the committee
are out of town. Representative Mont
gomery conversed yesterday with the
tariff senators, but could not learn that
formal compromise had been reached. A
leading member of the ways
and means committee said that
the lack of information among the
House leaders showed that the senators
were shaping their bill to the needs of
the Senate without reference to the
standing it might have in the House.
From this it is concluded that the sena-
tors will pass their bill in their own way,
and then depend upon a conference com
mittee to protect the changes they have
made from further alteration by the
House

procession could not then be less than
three miles ahead ana still going, if wind
and limb were still intact. Subsequent
facts did not substantiate this testimony
for when Farmer jackson and his man had
travelled a mile in the wake of the pur-
sued and pursuing live stock, they saw
something coming toward them a quarter
of a mile away. As it drew nearer on
trot, Farmer Jackson recognized in IL the
bull that had suddenly put so much life
into the agricultural interests OF that 10
cality. The bull came along with self
satisfied air that filled the farmers mind
with dire apprehension.
"That bull, he said, ''has butted and
stomped my red wagon into kindlin'

There is no doubt that Farmer Jackson
honestly thought he would laInDaste the
critter, but he wasn't yet entirely posted
on all of the bulls points. When the beast
got within few rods Of the farmer and
his hired man he stopped, gazed at them
a moment, snorted, shook his head low

with as much vim, vigor and fury as he
had displayed when he charged on the red
wagon from the barnyard. Now Farmer

two-acre lot fence was no more a barrier
to his advance than the barnyard fence
had been, and he went through 1t with
equal ease.
Owing to the quicksand enclosure in
the lot, Farmer jackson and his man had
to take a rather circuitOus course 10
reach the vantage ground they were head
ing FOR. The bull, probably having found
fences of such little account in his way

the fence around the quicksand right in
his path. He struck the fence on one SIDE
and down it went with a crash. Over
its ruins leaped the bull, straight upon
the unstable spot it had guarded. Instant
ly he was up TO his belly in the treacher-
Gus mire, TO which no bottom had ever
yet been found. Farmer Jackson and his
man saw the catastrophe They knew the
bull was harmless then, and hurried back
TO the spot. The bull was laundering
helplessly in the fathomless sand or mire,
and it was out of the power of the men to
help him. He sank rapidly in the pit,
and soon disappeared beneath the sur

Farmer Jackson and his man went back
TO the road in time to meet Neighbor
Smith with the runaway team. The red
wagon wasn't there. Neighbor Smith
said that it was strung pretty much all
