REPORT ON THE PENITENT!
ARY.
e Continued from last week
We call attention of the lessees!
h" 'and officers in charge at this camp
mid of the Principal Keeper of the
Penitentiary to the fact that within
the last, three years Carrie Massie
(col ), under sentence from Bibb
county for murder, sentenc’d June.
1882, has given birth to two child
ren, one about three and the other
one year old. The committee were
informed that at the time of her
arrival at the penitentiary she was
pegnant. These children are ben g
raised up in the penitentiary, and
the committee, believing that such
should not be allowed, recommend
ed 'hat sail. children be taken from
the penitentiary and bound out to
some proper person.
The committee investigated a>
thoroughly as pe-sible into the case
of the mu iny or strike at 'he coke
oven camp, and believe, from the
best information they could gal her.
that it was au attempt on the pail
of Jones ami some other leading
convicts to resisi the aiithoriiie
having them hi change. They au
of Ihe opinion, Im we ver, th it Kill—
palrirk is not entirely ex ''inpt from
blame in iht in liter. We approve
of the means and methods u-ad y
the Governor and Principal K cp< r
of the Penitentiary in settling said
inuti y.
We call atiention totlieC'se <>i
Win M. Ci’oiv, convicted of iio
from 1) »dgc county and serving
life-sentence ti om Septr tuber, 1882.
We hive cause lo believe hoin
facts furnished us that there <r>
peculiar hed-hips m thisc se. and
that in ashoit time steps will In
taken to place the lacts before the
Governor, of wnich we recommend
careful consideration and such
action in the matter as in his discie
tion he m >y deem just,
- Your commit lee next visited
Ri'ing Fawn, at which camp there
a e seventy-four convicts at work
mining iron ore. We find that at
this camp a cleaner stated things
exists, the building, however, being
the same as at the other camps at
Dade County Mme. The convicts
are tapplied with the regulation
striped suit, which they wear dur
ing the day as a working suit, and
are required to change their clothes
before retiring every night. The r
sleeping arrangements are about the
•atne as at other camps. They are
well fed with good wholesome food,
which ia dealt to each in sufficient
quantity. The convicts at this
camp are required to work under
ground in excavations blasted out
through roc < and slate. The com
mittee think there ia cou-iderable
danger in some cases from falling
•late. We found that one David
Nash (col.), from Decatur county, in
for four year® from February, 1885,
for an assault with intent to murder
met with an accident about three
months ago from the falling of some
rack upon him in the mine His
jaw was broken, his knee hurt, a
sharp piece of slate stuck in his
back several inches, his head badly
cut, and the scalp on the right side
was removed from rhe tap of his
head almost to his ear. We respect
fully ask the Governor to look into
his case and ascertain if he is so
permanently injured as to justify
Kxecutive clemency. The com mi t
>tee deem it just to state that no evi
dence wa« shown them though
which blaiue could be attached to
the ieseeea or parties having said
Convicts in charge, the same appear
ing to have been entirely a oidenlal.
We recommend, however, that the
lessees be more careful in future,
and have sufficient props or fasten
ings put under the slate and ruck in
the mines overhead where the con-
victs are at work.— Continued next
week.
THE FREEDMANS BANK.
From tiie following proceedings
iit will be seen that Congress is
moving in them alter of compensa
ting the Freedman’s Bink Deposit*

, message of President Cleveland :
“Senator Sherman on Tueiday
last introduced a bill to reinibu'se
the depositors of of the Freedman's
Savings and Tiu-t Company for the
Fosses incurred by the failure of the
company. I'he bill provides that

| Saving and Trust Company be di
rected to pay to all depositors o:
the defunct com any, whose ac
counts have been properly verified
and balanced, a sum of money
equal to the veiifi d balances
due depositors at the time "I the
company’s failure, less the amount
of dividends which may have been
declared from the assesst of the
company. The sum of $1,200,01)0
is appropriated for this purpose
It is also provided that claims not
presented within two years for pay
meat, under the act, shall be
barred by limitation, and that noth
ing in the act shall be construed to
entitle depositors to the amount of
any dividend barred under existing

The House Committee on Claims
discussed Representative Dibble’r

the Fiet (Iman’s Savings and Tru*t
Company lor th* losses incurred by

though final action was not taker,

tble to the bill, and it is expected
that a report will be ordered at the

ates $1,000,000 to be disbursed
among the depositors of the bank
by the commissioner.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Savannah, Ga., Jan’y 12, 1887.
Mr. Editor:
Dear Sir — Will yt u allow me a
short space in your columns, to in
quire what has become of the
Chairman of the County Commit
tee. There should have been a
Republican meeting held in every
militia district. I think we ought
not to wait until the Republicans
are back in power again belore
showing our bands, for office sake.
Men like Prof. Mort-e, Joe Willi ims,
James A. Sykes, L. B Toomer, A.
H. Gaston, and many other gentle
men whoAe names are not men
tioned. Tammany Hall was well
represented in 1884. .Mr. Dawsy

was chairman. I am one of the
l stalwarts that wen’ down in Chita
go and not a mugwump. I sha'l
make tliis district ring in 1888 if
1 live. It will be the young men’s
fight. We will have a young ma"
as chairman of all committees
and we will nominate candidates
for every office that is to be run
forinthat year. We shall not be
kept down any longer. Instead of
doing our duty as politicians we
have been neglectful. We shall
not support any man in the rmtniei
pal election except he give us a
representation on the police force
We pay Into the city treasury such
an amount that we are c eally
entitl'd to representation.
Very Respec fully
