There is, aud fo" some time
has been considerable disciiss
ion concerning the best method
ot treating criminals in order
to do all that is possible to
bring about a reformation in
their lives. Many of our most
experienced statesmen have
given much patieut study to
various systems employed by
the civilized nations of earth;
and from different premises
reach different conclusions. All
however, agree that the prob¬
lem is a knotty one. Many
good men are dissatisfied with
the results of our chain gang,
its failure decrease crime or re
form the criminal. While with’
“half an eye” its defections may
be pointed out, still no one
arises to show a wiser, better
plan, and yet a plan th it will
meet the approbation of our
people. What we want is to
find the medium ground be
ween cruelty on one hand ami a
morbid love for the criminal u
the other. Just now there is
considerable investigation in re
ga*d to tbe “Penal Colony” sys
tern employed by several Euro¬
pean nations. We are not yet
prepared to give this system
our hearty approval; but we
find many excellencies about
this method of meeting to crime
its just punishment that we
find in no other system. Sta¬
tistics show that a large major¬
ity ot criminals deported to
Australia from England be¬
come good citizens. The tower
of London and their common
jails but little benefitted the
criminal; but when they have
taken him away from old asso.
ciates, awayi from the scenes
where his character has been
spotted by vice, away to a cos
lonial home where he may re¬
store his lost honor aud where
h.e is closely watched, he finds
encouragement in his effort to
reform. Russia’s system has
been painted iu darkest colors
by offensive vendors of nihilism
and it may be more harsh than
other nations use; but still it
reaches the desired good, the
prisoner’s reformation. You
send a man to the chaingang
and in seven instances out of
ten he leturus more vicious
thau he first entered. U Penal
colonies are best for the correc¬
tion of crime atul the salvation
of criminals they should be our
nations resort. We write this
to bring before our readers
this system that they may
with us investigate and endea¬
vor in the wisest way to solve
the perplexing piobleni before
us.
This carpet-bagger has a
stirring history. At the close
of the civil war he laid aside
his blue uniform and his sword
and with a number of congeni
al comrades went to work to
shape the destination of the
new south. From his point ot
view the southern states were
conquered p.evinces, and the
inhabitants defeated rebels.
T’ained in the narrow miuded
school of tbe Puritans, whose
single object in life is to main -
tain their lights and prevent
eveiy body else from doing the
same, he felt that it was a part
of the conque or's mission to
force the civilization of New
Jfiiiiilaiid upon the south. In-
dustrions, .. and seri¬
temperate
ous minded, it never occurred
to him that he was a crank
instead of a reformer. Selfish
ambition and the greed of gain
entered more largely into his
schemes than he was willing to
acknowledge. He expected to
profit by the results of the so
( . ia ] ani ] p t ,]jtical revolution in
xv >i)j CLi ], e was engaged, but
J^nglishmeH rose to wealth and
power in Ireland and India;
why, then, should, not the ven¬
turous yankees rule the unfort
nate descendants of the cava
liers, make theii laws and di¬
vide their broad acres?-—Ex¬

Assistant postmaster Jack
son of Amcricos, (la., has ab¬
sconded. The facts in the
case are-- his personal habits
for sometime have rendered
lfini unfit to attend to the du¬
ties of his office, complaints
were raised and he was dis¬
charged. Upon investigating
his books it was discovered
that a number ot postal notes
we e missing—the disposition
of them being fraudulent Jack
son was compelled to abscond
—leaving behind a name cloud
ed with dishonesty.
