GEORGIA CONVICTS.

of the legislative committee, concern
the convicts, has emied,—U has re

iavc taken advanced ground con
•liis question. But this phase
.1 the question I will discuss at an
other time.
This lease system docs a wrong to
free labor; the state shuts out ot em¬
ployment 2500 freemen by it. Thus
she becomes a competitor with bet own
citizens. This alone is sufficient cause
for its anandonrnent.
It is un just to the prisoner, for it
transfers the authority of the state into
O', her hands, and no matter how care¬
fully guarded by terms of contract, it
is not guarded in fact, ns the recent
trial clearly shows, and I very much
doubt if the state has the ritrlit to thus
transfer her power into another’s hands
when it concerns a question of punish¬
ment of law brcakcis. But some will
say: “lias she not a right to do as she
pleases with her own ?” Yes, if she
pleases to do right.
Tire desire to make money out of
crime is abhorrent to every right think¬
ing man. It. is certainly a very curious
position, and one very salient, for a
great State to sentence a man for per¬
petrating a crime, such as cheating and
swindling, and hire him out at a figure
below what au honest man can afford
to labor for.

The love that survives the tomb is
the noblest attribute of the soul. If it
lias woes it lias likewise its delights;
and when the overwhelming burst ol
grief is lulled into the gentle tear ol
recollection, then the sudden adguish
and convulsive agony over the present
ruins of ail we most loved are soltemal
away into pensive tuediiaiious ol all
that it was in the days ol its loveliness
Who would root Hin.'li a sorrow from
the bean? Though it may sometimes
throw a passing cloud over the briglu
hour of gaiety, or spread a deeper sad¬
ness over the hours of gloom, yet who
would exchange it. for the song ol
p/casurc or the burst of revelry ? No;
there is a voice from the tomb sweeter
than soug; there is a remembrance of
the dead to which we turn even from
the charm of the living.
That fortitude which has encounter¬
ed no danger, that prudence which has
surmounted no difficulties, that integ¬
rity which has been attacked by no
temptation, can at. best be considered
but as gold not yet brought to the test,
of which therefore the true value can¬
not be assigned.—Exchange.
