SILVER COINAGE IN FRANCE.

The silver coinage sentiment is said to
be even stronger in France than in this
country. The Bank of France, in which
the people have implicit confidence, holds
in its vaults rs part of it's
reserve $250,000,0o of the silver
coin of the Latin Union: but the
confidence OF the people in the
bank is SO complete that they are willing
to take its notes without inquiry whether
they are secured 10y gol" or silver, although
we'll aware that the value OF silver coin is
not mere than half as great as it was TWEEN
der which the bank might be compelled
to pay out all the god, or issue large
amount of silver, it is asserted that the
whole French nation would unite to sus-
tain it's current value and make good any
&C IS that might be incurred in the dis
charge Of such an important duty.
The president of the republic, the cab
met, the majority of the senate ard
chamber of deputies, and several of the
most powerful financiers of the country
i"'oI oiuieIailish lI'tSt winter the
chamber of deputies passed resolution
introduced by NJ. deline, prime minister
of the republic, by ~ two thirds major
ity, declaring that the establishment of
international bimetallism would be a
great benefit to the agricultural and
commercial interests of the country, and
urging upon the government the advisa-
pility OF doing all in its power to estab-
lish aud maintain by international agree
ment stable parity of exchange between
gold and silver. This, with the recent
action of the Bank of England, shows the
trend of events in the direction OF the
restoration OF silver as a money metal
notwithstanding the price of wheat has
risen in this country

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The question of employing cnnvicts &c
that their work will not come in serious
conflict with free labor is one that is
engaging the attention OF the authorit ties
of many States in the Union, and, in this
State especially, where the pen:tentiary
is overcrOwded, the matter is very i'm
purtant one. So far by the cultivation of
farm near Richmond and employing
convicts at the State prison in the man
ufacture of shoes and other articles a
revenue of about 500, 0U0 above all the ex-
penses of the institution has been realized
by those in charge of it. There is, how
ever, much complaint among the honest
laborng men of the State at the compe-
tition in certain lines of empoyment
thus brought about by the work OF con-
victs at the penitentiary, and there is a
strong and increasing disposition to do
away with the system
The lease system, which has been
adopted by several States, is liable to so
many abuses, as has recently been
shown in the case of Georgia and other
States, that there is general demand
for its abandonment This system, un.
I'll. q short time ago, was in full force in
Tennessee, but the aouses CT and oppo-
sition to it were so great that it has been
abolished and the State has had erected n
penitentiary ut II cost Of 100000 This
building is located five miles from Nash
vile, and is said to be one of the finest
In the country 1t is surrounded by a
large farm, upon which the convicts will
be put to work, and, in addition to this.
the State has purchased large and val
liable coal property in East Tennessee,
where five hundred convicts are prolita.
bly, employed in mining coal, which is
disposed of in the open market.
The convicts confined in the peniten
tiary of Tennessee will be employed In
certain manufacturing Industries; but it
is the aim of the State government to
Keep them from coming into -.appreciablo
competition with free labor, and there is
provision in the statutes forbidding the
employment of more than one hundred
state prisoners in any one line. The

only thing the State OF Tennessee will
attempt to do is to make the penitentiary
self.sustaining, and that is all that Vir-
gina or any other State should 10.
AS State farms have been worked with
success wherever tried. it would be we'll
for the legislature of Virginia to expert
ment still further in this direction, and
to that end it would be we'll to establish
one somewhere in Southwest Virginia.
Land could be purchased in this section
at a reasonable price, and it's superior
productiveness would insure large re-
turns if properly cultivated. The farm
already worked is said to pay we'll, and
with another one in the Southwest the
products of the. two would go far towards
feeding all the convicts, besides helping
materially to lessen the expenses of the
penitentiary. Much also would be saved
to the State in the matter of the trans
portation of prisoners by having a farm
in this section. as parties convicted of
crime in this half OF the State could be
sent directly there and put to work.
AS all, from present experience, could
not be employed on the two farms, it
would be necessary for the State officers
aud prison authorities to devise some
means for the employment of the rest that
would come as little in conflict with the
free labor of the commonwealth us posi-
BILE, and in this connection the question
OF road improvement by convict labor
becomes an important one. The State,
however, does not seem to have crystal
lied on this subject, and it will yet have
to be much discus sed before n definite
decis ion is arrived at. There are many
who believe that men convicted OF the
lesser grades CT otfenses might By so en-
| ployed and that n troublesome problen
| would thus be solved, while the high
ways of the State would be greatly i'm
proved. The question is one that de-
serves the careful consideration of the
| people, as well as the law. making power
of the State, and that something must be
| done to remedy the present and prospec
tive overcrowded condition of our State
prison is too plain for further comment
