The Convict Lease System.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The State of Georgia is one of the
most progressive States of the South.
but 1t retains some features which the
best civilization has outgrown and dis
carded. 1t has the convict lease svs-
tenn by which men, women and bows
under sentence are leased out to men
who keep guard over them with the
shotgun and get work out of them with
the whip.
special committee of the Georgia
Legislature is now investigating the
system, it is hoped with the view to its
abolition. The evidence of the inhu-
manity of the system in its practical
working is shown by the columns of
evidence published in the Georgia pa
pers. No one of them defends the sys-
TEN. 1t meets apparently with univer-
sal condemnation. The greater number
of the convicts are colored, but slavery
IN its worst aspects was never as cruel
as the convict camps. A considerable
proportion of the prisoners are white,
and whether they are men or women
there is no discrimination in their favor.
Their taskmasters get all out of them
they can and care not for their color or
previous condition.
The Atlanta Constitution of last Sat
urday contains the testimony of Judge
Rogers, of Atlanta, who detailed what
he saw in his efforts to rescue from a
convict camp a young white boy, Joseph
Frisby. The young man was guilty of
the crime of being intoxicated on the
highway and was sentenced to short
term in Jail for the misdemeanor. The
firm which leased the convicts immedi-
ately sent him to its camp, though un-

The reforms which survive after the first
flush of emotion has worn off still have
support because the people are morally and
intellectually convinced of the need of the
reforms and possess the character to obey
the dictates of their own conscience. Great
good is sometimes done by enlisting the
emotions of people who are in earnest; but
the mere legislative acts which have not
the honest support of the people "seldom
fail to produce a recoil," says the historian

GEN. STEPHEN D. LEE.

Lieutenant- General Stephen D. Lee, of
Columbus, Miss, Commander-in-C Chief OF
the United Confederate Veterans, died last
Thursday morning at the official residence
of the Vicksburg National Park Commis-
sion, of which he was member. Cere-
bral hemorrhage was the cause OF his
death. He was stricken on the night OF
MAY 22d, consequent upon an exhaustive
speech welcoming four regiments of Iowa
and Wisconsin soldiers, whom he had
fought upon the Vicksburg battlefield
forty-five years ago.
Gen. Lee was born in Charleston, S. c.,
Sept. %, 1888; entered West Point in 1850;
graduated in 1854 and was assigned to the
artillery. In 1861 he resigned his commits"
sion in the United States Army and entered
the service of his native State, in which he
was given command of a battery. AS aide
to Gen. Beauregard he was sent to Maj.
Anderson to demand the surrender of Fort
Sumter, and that being refused, it was by
Lees battery and by Lees order that the
first gun of the Civil War was fired.
Gen. Lee took part in the battles of Seven
Pines, Savage's Station, Malvern Hill and
commanded battalion of artillery in the
campaign against Gen. John Pope. His
services at the battle of Second Manassas
were brilliant and attracted the attention
of the entire army. At Antietam he did
conspicuous service, for which he was
made Bragadier- General Nov. 6, 1868, and
was ordered by President Davis to Vicks'
burg, to take command of the garrison and
batteries holding the Mississippi River at
that point. Here he was signally success
full in many engagements of Importance,
notably at the battle of Chickasaw Bayou,
where, with only 2,7OO men, he gave sher'
man and his $4,000 men such a bloody re-
pulse that, after losing 1,7OO men, killed,
wounded and prisoners, Sherman retreated,
re embarked on his transports and return
ed to Memphis. After the capture of
Vicksburg, July 4, 1863. Lee was soon ex-
changed and was made Major General,
August 3, 1863, and was promoted Lieuten-
ant General, June %, 1864, and COM
manded corps in the Army of Tennessee,
until its surrender by Gen. Joseph f.
Johnston at Durham Station, N. c., April
26, 1865, an event which virtually closed
the Civil War.
President Davis cherished the highest
opionion of Gen. Lee, and said one day at
Beauvoir, not long before his death, when
speaking freely of his Generals: 'sStephen
D. Lee was one of the very best all-round
soldiers we had. tried him in artillery,
and he handled his guns SO superbly that
thought we could never spare him from
that arm of the service. tried him in the
command of cavalry, and he made such a
dashing cavalry commander that thought
he was born for that service; and when
put him to command infantry found him
equally able and accomplished in that po-
sition. He was a great and good soldier -
