It is charged that cruelty—sys tematic cruelty—has been em ployed in working the convict laborers in Georgia. The prin ciple is wrong. These poor creatures are hired to men whose* interest it is to make all that is possible out of their labor, and unfortunately, benevolence or charity, are not apt to he control ling emotions under such cir cumstances. It seems to us a wise suggestion that each Coun ty be given the control of its own convicts, where they will iiQt be without a sympathetic desire for their improvement while they are rendering tae best of service to the County and the State. Rabbi Benson, in a card deelar ing that the Jewish synagogue is open to strangers in time of ser vice, says : “ II is (he earnest de sire of our people to show the Gentile world, the purity and so leinnily of our doctrines, and our conception of the Deity and his attributes, thereby cementing the bonds of universal brotherhood which a common father com mands and a hitherto on* iged humanity denied.” [(OM.MLNICAH.iI. j To The Field and Fireside. My cheeks tingle with shame since reading the penitentiary re port prepared for the legislature by Col. R. A. Alston, chairman. The grand old -State of Georgia is going through a fiery furnace, and the smell of the fire attaches to nearly all of her prominent po liticians. That investigation shows the defilement of many—and the pitch seems to have been handled by a considerable number of Georgia’s “strongest” men. But the penitentiary report caps the climax. John B. Gordon United Stales Senator, is running a pen itentiary, where the ill treatment and neglect together with other terrible charges are so enormous that the whole State trembles with suppressed indignation. Why did not this investigation, appear before lie was again invested with the high office of Senator ( By what right does he pretend to rep resent Georgia while this Urrible stain attaches to his business, as a convict contracter iu Hie State ■ If Col. 11.

Now you begin to see the mo tives in the fight on Felton in the Seventh Dictrict. Grand eld he to! he stands like a break-water against the waves of corruption that threaten to engnlph old Georgia!

During the day a lively business lias been done by all of them in the exchange for greenbacks of bright new gold pieces for Christmas presents. An amusing illustration of the fact that people don't want gold happened to-day. A way down south darkey entered a hanking house here and handed up a five dollar check to be cashed. ‘Gold or greenbacks?” said the busy cashier, laconically. “Gold, massa? What’s dat you say?” said Sambo, his eyes extending untill the whites alone were vin ible. “I)o you want gold or greenbacks for your check?” ex plained the cashier. “Dis chib takes do gold, boss, every time.
