and delivered, Leeides five thousand buah-

ameUingjiroceBg. The Rising Fawn iron
works consume almost the whole of this
amount, and are enabled to keep afloat
mainly through the cheap rates they pay
for their coke. Eiom ten cents per bmh-
el formerly, they are now charged only
three or four oente. • **

The raid is worked by
THREE HUNDRED PENITSMTIABT CONVICTS,
who are composed by Uw,o( those sentenc
ed for long terms. When Governor lirown
assumed, the control of these prisoners,
though provided with ah abundance of
bacon and meal, he found them suffering
from scurvy, caused by the lack of fresh
vegetable*, which oohld not be procured
in that vioinity. To remedy this, he im
mediately ordered large quantities of
potatoes, pickles and- onion*, which soon
restored the-health of the oonvtots. Then
force waa detailod to cot down and
bring into cultivation a. largo area of land
upon whioh there is now-produced j

of Irish potatoes, salads, , turnips, cab
bage, tomatoes, encumbers, beets, and
other vegetables. These are plokled in
barrels for winter consnmptioa and a

set of laborers cannot be found anywhere.
To show bow ooutented they are, tbe
principal keeper of the penitentiary, Mr.
Nelms says, on a late oooasion, when
some of the convicts had to be removed
to other oamps to make room for a batch
prisoners recently sentenced for life,
the poor creatures with tears in their
eyes implored to be allowed to reraaiu In
tbe mines, saying (hay were well oared
for and ooutented.
The Governor very j09tly remarked
that tbe prisoners bad bseu oindemued
to bard work as a
PUNISHMENT FOB THEIR CRIMES
and it was his duty to soo that the sen
tence was executed.
The convicts wore required to laber
faithfully, bat their physical and moral
condition were also sedulously looked
after. Wo have never heard of any com
plaint of-their treatment in tbo mines.
It is unfortunate that the State should
ba reduced to the necessity of farming
out her convicts; but tbe great increase

pation of so many ignorant negroes, make
impossible to pursue any othor system,
do otherwise would bankrupt

hold that the most stringent safe'

unfortunate criminals, and those hating
them in charge should be brought to

K-y W. Bishop for the mnrder of his wife
is set down for Tuesday next. A plea
guilty of mnrder in tbo seojnd degree
will be offered andaosepted by the State’s
attorney. For ut least font months the
State has had a standing offer from
Bishop s counsel to plead guilty to mur
der in the second degree, if matters were
allowed to drop there. This the State’
attorney for a long time persistently re
jected. There is now reason to believe
he has accepted the proposition, and
Tuesday's proceedings will consist simply
of a formal and legal ratification cf this
agreement.

boar, the bill to amend the law relating
to th« transfer of cases Jtom State to

MoLsne, ot Maryland, conoluded his
argument in favor of tbe bill, taking the
ground that wherever the State law or
ijtate sovereignty, be it mnoh or little, is
well defined and understood, and where
indictments are fonnd nuder such Stato
law, they should not be removable to
Federal oonrts. He admitted that tbero
might havo been a neeessity daring tbe

power, bnt the country had now passed
beyond euob necessity, and .the jndiolary
' tbe oonntry should ba restored to its

ments agreed to was one offered by

Washington, May 17,—The Senate
executive Reesion, which lasted nearly
two houra, was dsvoted exclusively to an
animated discoasion of the report of the
Judiciary Committee on tbe question of
the right of the.Senate to confirm the
nominations for the army appointments
and promotions above the rank of cap
tain, in view of. the .act of Jnne 18th,
1S78, which prohibited such appoint
ments and promotions until after the re
port of the joint committee, commonly
known bb the Bornaido Commission,
shall be made and acted upon by Con
gress. No conclusion was reached.
Washington, May 17.—The officer who
shot and killed a soldier of the22d Infan
try for mntiny, was Captain Lincoln of
the 10th Infantry, and not Oaptain Law-
ton; as previously stated. The difficulty
occurred at Fort Griffin, Texas,
tag Edward Kenney, a negro, has filed
her petition in the United States District
Court, praying for a writ of habeas corpus.
is, of course, expected the writ will be
refused, when an appeal to the Circuit
Court will at onoo he taken, where it will
heard by Chief Justice Waiteor Judge
Bond, or both. Donbt seems to exist as
the appellate jurisdiction of tho Su
preme Court to review tho recent deci
sion mado in Kennoy’s case by Judge
Hughes Bitting in the Circuit Court.
There could be no doubt, it is said, of its
jurisdiction under the act of 1789, if
writ of habeas corpus had been awarded,
and petitioner afterwards had been re
manded to the penitentiary, as was held
tho Yerger case.
Tho jurisdiction to award the writ in
the case whero parties are confined con
trary to the constitution and laws of the
United States was first conferred upon
the Federal courts by the act passed Feb
ruary 5tb, 1867, but the year following,

. Washington, May 17.—The House
Committee on foreign affairs autBorizad
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,,tjO report
to the House with favorable recommen
dation the joint resolution providing for
further treaty negotiations with the gov
ernment of Mexico. The rssolation pro
vides for perfecting postal arrangements
between tha two countries, and author
izes the President jo appoint commission
ers as be may deem necessary to carry
out the requirements of the measure, the
salary of such officers not to exceed five
thousand dollars.
In the House Mr. Urner, of Maryland,
opposed the bill on the ground that ons
ot the sections proposed to bs repealed
(No. 6S9) was virtually The jadioiary act
of 1378, which gave force and effeetto
that clause of tbe Constitution whioh au
thorizes the United States to pass upon
questions in controversy between a citi
zen of one Stato and a citizen of another
State. Ha admitted that there waa some
force in tho objection that insurance
companies sued in the States wher^.tbey
have no.lagal residence can have case*
removed to the gieat injury of th« plain
tiff suitor, but he argued that such possi
bilities of hardship should not be allowed
to interfere with the great underlying
principle involved.
' Fending aotion on the bill, tbe morn
ing hour expired, and the House resumed
consideration of the Warner silver bill.
Mr. Belford’s amendment confirming the
privilege of free ooinage of silver mined
in tbe United State* was defeated; yeas
81, nays 120.
Mr. Ewintf offered an amendment to
Mr. Springer's amendment. It provides
that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
Issue and deliver to depositors of silver
bullion certificates to an amount equal
to the value of saoh bullion, and that
diver dollars coin- d from snoh bullion
to tbe extent of forty per cent, of sash
oertifiaxtes shall be held for the redemp
tion thereof, and the remainder applied
tbe peymeLt of interest and priooipal
the pnbUo debt. Tile certificates so is
sued are to be redeemed at par for all
does to tbe United States and be used
ia payment of the onrrent expenses' of
tbe government and are to be redeem*,
ble in standard stiver do'lai*. Tbe
amendment adopted; yaas 106, nays
105, tba speaker easting tbe decidiog
veto amid applause on tbe Democratic
side.
Mr. Springer’s amendment, os amend
ed by Ewing, was then rejected; yeas
38, nays 171. The House at 4:40 ad
journed until Tuesday.
Washingtsk, May 17.—In the Senate,
during the debate on an amendment on
tbe subject of clerks in tbe Post-office
Department, a colloquy occurred between
Mr. Sinlsbory and Mr. tYindom, in
which the latter said he wonld not join
the former in his wish to economise ex
penses by reducing the army which ia re
quired for the protection of tbe frontier
from the attacks of Iodiane.
Mr Skulsbnry remarked that be bad
argued that be would not so nee the army
aa to bring odium upon it by larroand-
the pall* with troops, requiring tta offi
cers to perform duties repugnant to their
sense of honor. Mr. Wisdom naked
what amount voted for the army had
law has sinoe remained. The object,
therefore, in fi’ing the petition of the wo
man in the district oonrt, is to'secure re
view of the decision of Judge Hngbes by
invoking the appellate jurisdiction of tho
Circuit Court. The motion for a rehear
ing iu tlio Kinui-y c«sc lias al3o been en
tered.

struggling for tbe lead. Spurt followed
