A COLLISION THREATENED BETWEEN THE CITIZENS AND THE COLORED TROOPS. A NEGRO SHOT. Mutiny among the troops Imminent. GOVERNOR MARVIN APPLIED TO FOR 'aid. Tlu- Colored Troop® to be Withdrawn from tbe State. TIIK RESULT OF THE ELECTION. ETC. ETC. ETC. We learn irom a gentleman who bas just n 'rived here from Florida, that the eleciions which occurred iu ibat State last week, were attended with more than the usual excite ment incident lo such occasions, aDd in some localities run so high as to culminate in breaches of the public peace. At Lake City, particularly, the contest be came so heated that the friends of some of the contestants for office were on tbe eve of a desperate collision, when, with a view to its suppression the U. 8. Officer of the post without the solicitation of any one, called cut and marched to the locality oi the ballot * >lJX ’ a cotnpauy of colored troops, with hauled muskets and fixed bayonets ; which unfortunate demonstration, so far from tend -1“ fho pacification of the belligerents, in creased the excitement and turned it against t,lu colored troops. Buch was the menacing conduct of the 'tter, that the voters and citizens, general y. mined themselves with shot guns and I 'HoU, nud a/owed their determination to. any outrage that might be perimira 1' h> H'* liteolcnl colored military.

This occurrence of course revived the ex citement oUhe previous day and led to the interchange of menacing threats between the whites and the blacks, the latter recklessly declaring their intention to take the life of the gentlemen who shot the negro, and the former holding themselves quietly in readi ness to protect to the utmost extremity, the life thus threatened. The officer commanding the troops, undertook to pacily them by re monstrances and explanations, when he was rudely assailed with epithets and demon strations ot insubordination, that amounted almost to mutiny. A prominent citizen ot the place telegraph ed the condition ot affairs to Governor Marvin, with the request (hat the colored troops be removed and white troogs sent in their stead. *To which tire Governor prompt ly responded that tbe request would be im mediately complied with. These, we believe, were the only colored troops remaining in the State, and their with drawal as indicated by Governor Marvin, wilt be bailed with satisfaction by the peo ple of Lake city, at least. W r e are indebted to our informant also for information in regard to some of the results of the election in- Florida. Hon. D. S. Walker, late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court is elected Governor without opposition. Major Kelly, of Pensacola, is supposed to be tbe successful candidate for Lieut. Gov ernor. Col. F. McLeod, a prominent lawyer, of East Florida, has been elected to Congress. The election of Governor Marvin, as one of the United States Senators, is generally conceded, but the public mind had not fixed itself definitely upon his coadjutor. CRIMINAL Kt£FORMATION. One of the most important of social pio blems in tbe United States is the moral refor mation of criminals. The system ot both Jail and Penitentiary confinement, with its attendant penalties of labor and solitary se clusion, bas failed to effect its purposes In Georgia the question has been agitated, whether our system of criminal reform, through tbe agency of jails and penitentia ries is. not so seiiously defective as to require amendment. The idea that the penitentiary plan of reform can be made selt-supportiDg has, we believe, proved a delusion. Tbe benefits have not compensated for the ex pense. As the legislature is now in session, their attention is imperatively directed to this subject. The results of the war has dis organized society. Private crime has as sumed tearful proportions. If the preven tives and restraints of crime were inadequate before the war, how much moie feeble mus they be now when the passions have been unchained. It becomes, therefore, one of tbe earliest duties of the legislature, not only to revise our criminal code, but the system of punishment for crime. It is Dot only at the South that these de fects in the system of punishment exhibit themselves in the most glaring manner. The reform in the administration of the jails and penitentiaries at the North is exciting pro found attention. The United States are far behind European countries in this work of criminal reform. In Great Britain, especial ly, is this the case. The abolition there of the system by which she discharged the criminal part of her population on the shores of her colonies, has forced her attention on those modes of punishment that provide in her own establishments the means of criminal refor mation. In 1853 tbe Biitish Parliament en acted two systems called tbe English and Irish systems. The lormer has proved a fail ure. The latter has led to the most satisfac tory results, under the supervision of com petent administrators, and what is most re markable, the account of the practical effi ciency of the Irish system, both as to its principles and details, has been published by a female, Miss Carpenter, whose work, enti tled “Our Convicts,” is exciting great atten tion in England. The Irish prisons were placed in the charge of Sir Walter Crofton, who ten years after he reported that his plan of administration, combining reform with punishment, had produced 9uch favorable results that the most hardened and obdurate criminals had been received back into society, without distrust or w ant of confidence in the sincerity of their amendment. Tbe basis of his treatment, in the language of "The Nation,” of the 23d ult., is an appeal to bis moral nature, aud to hope rither than fuftr. The following is a succinct account, from tbe same work, of the methods pursued: “Irish prison discipline is divided into three stages. The first consists of cellular imprisonment for eight or nine months. But whether eight or nine months, depends exclu sively upon the convict's conduct; this stage is very penal, the object being to induce re flection, and, if possible, contrition. Daring the first half of this period a very low diet is used, and for the first three months no inter esting employment is permitted. Meanwhile there is a great deal of time for secular and religious instruction, the plan of the Irish system is carefully taught, and tbe convict leurus that ftg the luture all depends on him self. At the end of the first period the pris oner reaches another stage, of which the pe culiarity is that his progress is recorded by marks ; the principle upon which these marks are given he bus already learned, ami he now finds that the more laborious his atten tion, the greater his good-will and industry, the sooner can he reach the much desired third or intermediate stage, socallod because occupying a position between absolute Iree- j dom and penal servitude, not wholly yielding 1 tuo one or strictly enforcing the other. This stage gives character to tile system, and It Is through such ‘intermediate’ establishments alone that a satisfactory aud well-iested change can he effected in this character of criminals. Hi re there are no marks; here is to be proved the sincerity of amendment Here the injiviiimil is 'o he looked at, ami for this purpose the smaller the iiuiuliei lo lie ' individualized' the heller. One buudred is •taled to he the outside limit i but no doubt the limit of an avciage family would be best, ***** It blit possible. Hmall gungt, the smeller the belter, are formed, end tlm per sou In übarge of each, while bu Is to tea. ii the members of It a usds, It ruspoutltiie lor thslr character lie le ui talk with them make himself leiulller wub everything •w. eendnff swb ot umm -lu a wont, to trest them ss <«*« Again, n„ v w utisted loffo out atone bom the prl ami | |o ton* mtinges from one priouoer to Mother, and SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1865. to spend part of tbe small sums they are al lowed to earn by industry aud good beha vior. Natural meaus are used as far as practicable. ‘ ino more restraint is used than would be necessary in any well-regu lated establishment.’ (And this tests at once the efficacy of tbe methods iu the previous stages.) The officers work with the con victs, are unarmed, aud in small force. Phy sical restraint, or even its possibility, is ex cluded, and, iudeed, the use or possibility of force wonld be ‘ inconsistent with the princi- j pies' which the intermediate establishments i ‘ were instituted to enunciate.’ The object | is to prove to the convict Jhat he is tealiy to be credited with tbe improvement be has shown in obtaining marks.” The same journal goes on to observe: “ Here in America we feel well satisfied with our prisons. There is no reason for such satisfaction, fer our prisons do not at tain their object. A prison is, properly, a reformatory, a moral hospital. Ours are schools of crime. Says a committee of the Prison Association of New York : “ *lf an institution should be established in every county of the State with the inscrip tion over the door, ‘ Vice and crime taught here,’ and the processes within corresponded to the announcement without, this commit tee is impressed witii the conviction that the of manufacturing criminals could scarcely be more effectually done than it is by our jail system, as at present organized and managed.’” * * * * * * * “The penitentiaries are better; it is to their improvement, indeed, that the chief attempts at reform have been directed, the jails remaining the same schools of vice as before. Almost every man or woman who issues from the lormer has been at various times an inmate of the latter, and the folly of endeavors to stop crime by reforming the criminal in hia last stage, wlien be is encour aged in it during all tne first stages, is evi dent. Until our jails are radically changed, we cannot hope for any great diminution of the ‘ dangerous classes;’ until the promis cuous association ol young and old, good and bud, criminals aud witnesses against crimi nals, is abolished, we must expect a ‘ foetid, seething mass of mutudi contamination ami pollution ;’ uutil short sentences ate abolish ed, we must expect repeated sentences ; un til we admit that a register for crime is at least as essential as one for mortgages, no one need despair of being tolerably success ful in tbe profession of crime; until we make a distinction .between children and harden ed offenders, we must expect hardened of fenders. Too much cannot be said as to the necessity of a change in these respects. The effect ot short sentences, without registration, is, that with proper precautions men commit crime after crime and run through prison af ter prison before being arrested for any length of time; that when they at length re ceive a long sentence, so matured in wicked ness are they that reformation is almost im possible. But what is to be said of our children ? A boy of twelve is committed to prison with the burglar of years' practice. We bad better have two hundred and twenty felonies on our statute-book agaio, and hang a boy of twelve tor tbe theft of a shilling, than do this. We educate the rich, the vir tuous, the prosperous, in knowledge afld goodoess; our poor, our ignorant, our vi cious, our starving we educate in crime, in vice, in lust. We succeed admirably with both classes. Schools finish one; jails the’ other. This crytug evil must be remedied.” The Fenians. EXAMINATION AND DECLARATION OP 6TEPHF.N3, THE HEAD CENTRE IN DUBLIN. The investigation into the charge against James Stephens, the Head Centre ot Feuian ism in Ireland, and ihe three persons who were arrested in his house at Sandymount, was resumed at Dublin, before Mr. Stronge. Tbe evidence was chiefly documentary’, and did not involve any new feature of special in terest. At the close of the case for the prosecution the magistrate said :—Mr. Stephens, Mr. Brophy and Mr. Edward Duffy, you are charged with confederating aud conspiring with others to levy war against the Queen,, to establish a republic in this country, and to separate it from England I am ready to hear you if you have anything to say, but at tbe same time it is my duty, under the statute, to caution you that if you say anything to criminate yourselves it will be taken down aud given in evidence against you. I may tell you that you are not bound to say any thing. What do you say, Mr. Stephens '/ 1 am ready to take — Stephens—l am under the that it was only when committed— Mr. Stronge—the case is closed against you. Previous to ray stating what decision I have arrived at, I wish to know if you desire to • iy anything belore I announce what I intend doing. The case is so clear, prima fade, that I shall be bound lo commit you. Mr. Lawlessjsuggested that tlie prisoner should abstnin from ranking any statement. Stephen: —»\ r ou look on this matter as a lawyer, but I look on it as a patriot. Mr. Stronge—l need not remind you that there are a great many others involved in this charge. Stephens—l am sure to get as much credit for the other gentlemen as anything else; aud if I say anything at all, I feel bound to say it. Mr. Stronge—l shall be bound to take down what you say in reference to this charge, Stephens—Certainly, take it down. I feel bound to say, with the view to my own reputation, that I have employed no attor ney or lawyer in this case, aud that I mean to employ none, because in making a plea or defence of any kind 1 should be recog nizing British law in Ireland. Now I de liberately and conscientiously repudiate the existence of that law in Ireland, its right or even its existence. ■ Mr. Stronge—That is, you repudiate the existence of that law ? Stephens—l repudiate the right of its ex istence in Ireland, and defy any punishment, and despise any punishment that can be in flicted on me. 1 have spoken. Mr. Stronge—Then I apprehend that, with reference to the charge against you, you make no statement! Stephens—None whatever. Mr. Strune—That is as regards— Stephens—l have said all I meaa to say. Mr. Stronge—And you make no further statement ? Stephens, in reply to au observation of Mr. ' Lawless, said :—You are looking at it lrorn a luwyer’s point of view. (To Mr. Barry)—l mean no offence, gentlemen. Mr. Stronge—Mr. Duffy, lrnvo you any thing to say ? Mr. Stronge asked Bropby if ho had any thing to say. Brophy—Have you any further evidence ? Mr Si rouge said that they had nothing to do wiilt that at present. Hr. phy snid —Tlxn, I think, it is very eßay lo Miitlufy you.
