Registered as mkcond-ci.ass mattes at the Bavamkah Post Office. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1887 Discretion io speech is more than eloquence. The speech of Gen. H. R. Jack son at Macon did the work. The Weekly Republican of New Orleans, La., is doing noble work for the party in that State. It will soon be in order for the political hustlers to hustle. The bovs are getting ready for “orders.’ —money orders. Hon. A. G. Thurman, “The no blest Roman of them all” did not fail to express his views on G» n. Jackson’s speech and in plain terms top. The Atlanta Defiance has “flopped” over on the side of prohibition and onr friends Burnett and Davis are advocating the “dry” cause with as much earnestness as they did the “wet.” Thß depositors of the late Freedmans Savings Bank resid ing in Macon, held a mee'ing recently and passed resolutions ask ing President Cleveland to devote a small part of his coming uussn-ze to the next Congress to ’heir relief- AT the recent ex ruination bv Gov. Gordon into the charges of cruelty and inhuman treatment of the poor unfortunate ‘onvicts. he says “that after catefullv ex imininir the numerous charges made he finds: First; That the evidence shows thnt the officers and members of the lease companies have personally inflicted n • cruelty upon the convicts; that the-e officers and members have in a right spirit and disposition desired and en deavored to protect the health of the convicts and to pr >vide for their neeessa ry shelter and the requisite food, cloth ing and medical attendance But the ev dence also shows that they have no exercised the personal supervision over the convicts at all the camps whi<h the law contemplates and requires. Second! The evidence shows that some of the agents and subordinates of the paid leased companies h ive been guilty ot cruelty consisting of excessive whipping, and some cases of unreasonable and exces sive labor. It is held that at least four cases of excessive whipping are clearly established by the evidence; and while the exact number of cases where convicts have been overworked cannot clearly be determined, the evidence s.Usfises the Ex cutive that r in some instances the subordinate agents of these companies have exacted labor of the convicts in excess ot what wa humane, reas mable and proper. Admitting ’but “the officers ami members of the lease companies ' have personally inflicted no cruelty upon the convicts.” And no one bad ever charged these gentleman thus. But continues the Governor “they have not exercised the personal su pervision over the convicts at all the camps that the laws require them to do.” If that is true and we believe there can be no doubt of it thenthev areas equally as gnibv ot these inhuman acts as the blood thirsty demon who commits them* In fact they are in the eyes of the public an accessory after the fact, and the plea that the Governor makes that they have not ‘ person ally inflicted cruelty upon the con victs does not relieve these gei tie men from the charges but n ake ♦ hem paiticeps criminis in the crime con mitted. We are pleased so far wit h the work of the Govern j nr and we be ieve he is honest in 1 his intent'* ds to reform the lielbsli and hu h ro is convict system of State, but an it be done by impos ! it'g a fine < f 2500 on the lessees as he has «on in these particular < nses or ’ ill t rep iir the injus ice already d i • to man.- poor convicts .who Ini' been unjustly made to I h rve. a < nvicts ter n longer than iuteud •’ 1 y law or justice requires.
