Atkinson,—investigating the report of the legislative committee, concern the convicts, has emied,—U has re some startling things, w hethcr true or not, does not in any way co cern the purport of Hus article. A great commonwealth is indeed in a pitiable condition when it must hire her convicts as a source of revenue, this is the only J, plea that can fie f - u defeU8e :)Uch an iniquitous ^ It is making capital out of crime. The primary object of the law in de Miivmg (he law breaker of bis liberty pro , ccli()n to tlle Uf e imd property of peaceable citizens. The secondary is to punish the offender lor bis violations of law, and to teach others this not to be guilty of the same offense. The penalty is not to be so severe as it is to be. certain.

The old idea that criminals 4 ”C not to be treated ns men having , ' g , r a moral nature, is passed into ius desuetude, and all men tbai (rested 111 the cause of reforma 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.

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.
