In FAVOR OF CHAIN GANGs.-The
House committee on prisons and asy-
lums hes decided to report favorably
The bill providing for rules for the
keeping of chain-gangs. The bill pro-
vdes that the board of supervisors in
each county shall pay all the expenses
for the maintenance of the prisoners in
chain-gangs, but that the State shall
contribute the sum of 25 cents day
for each one of these men for board.
The bill provides that corporal punish
ment shall be Inflicted by order of the
court, board of supervisors, or council
for the violation of The rules and regu
l4tions. After some discussion it was
decided to amend the bill 80 that these
prisoners who worked in chain-gangs
shslrnot COST the State more than if they
we're kept in Jail. It was also decided
TO strike out the word corporal pun
ishment and provide only punishment,
The manner of which is to be determin.
ed by the court, or council, or board of
