A.iofat* thflx xsckm MACoKjGa., July 23. —The Hon. A. A. Huff, member of the legis lature from Bibb, was formerly e popular conductoi on the Macon ind Western road, now known as Central, between Macon and At lanta, hven st this date, when travel ing on tha cars, the old habit of waling through the train formed in too days of eonduotorsftip, still clings to him, and obedient, to this impulse on lust Friday afternoon, when returning from the legisla ture in Atlanta to Macon, he arose ■from nis neat and took a walk through tuu train and by chatue saw A MISERABLE BPECTABT.E that will be of great value to him in Ins fight against the present convict lease, and which will bo graphically presented in hie char acteristic style when he speaks on the convict bill. The spectacle was this. He saw in one of the front cars band of convicts on rout* from the Chattanooche brick yard to some other camp, borne of them- were miserable looking objects, About the aeck of one was tightly welded a chaiu that had been therg La had made a break for liberty HANDS BADLY BURNED. He noticed howoui of them held his hands while munching at a piece of something to eat. Tho turn ra wen* drawn up in a con tracted manner, and he app..areu to be suffering. Mr. Huff inquired what wu" the matter and found tuat the palm ni the convict’s hand wan a mass of blisters, and because of these he could not open ais fingers or aana. In response to the inquiry of Mr. iluti, ‘he convict paid ‘hat his bancs ware burnt while forced to handle hot bricku at the Chatta hoochae brick haul thu convict, roferring-fco his hand: “That’s nothing. Go back yonder and look at tho hands of same of those other fellows” Mr. Huff did as suggested, and ho found the hands of several of tho convicts in an even worse burnt condition than the one to whom he had first spoken. Their hands are practically ruin ed for life. Mr Huff was also infored that at times convicts at the Chatta hoochee brick yard while at work have been made to walk on planks ‘s> hot that dually they would burst into llames. TWENTY-FIVE LASHES. He was also informed that, whom business at the brick yard became very heavy and there was not sufi cien 1 men force, the female con vietc have been made to work, aud once when oue of the woman re fused to handle the hot bricks she was whipped by a guard twenty five lashes on her nakenness, in the presence of the male convicts. HORRIBLE GRUB, Mr Huff’s attention was called to a soap box in the corner of the car and was bade to look in it. He did so and there saw eight or nine small pieces of cold corn pone and a piece of hard, cold fat meat, smaller than the half of one’s hand Ho was told that this was supper of the convicts, and similar food had been served as their dinner. Most miserable grub, indeed Mr. Huff took a piece of the bread and meat and will us« it as an illustration before Governor Gordon and the legislature. Mr. Huff was also informed that when these convicts, were about to leave camp, they were barefooted and were to be sent off shueles.-, | when some one suggested that it. would not do to sond them through th*. country barefoot‘"i and. shoes Were then g.ver L•••'.• A fu-hiY* legislature, hot Ttdb- ert I.ewij, of Hancock, was on the train, amt Mr. iiu'.'fcvm'luo‘.-ed him to sen the sight, and when Mr. Hull presents the matter to the Governor or the legislature, he will have this legislator as an eve wit ness, also the guard in charge of the convict.*:, alid possibly the con victs themselves vyiii be present with their burnt hands, .ur Hull will try and get Gov ernor Gordon to cancel the convict lease with the Chattahoochee Brick Company. The memGr from Bibb is pre pared to shell the woods. Mr. KtiiT left Macon for Atlanta this morning, and said he would call upon Governor Gordon at once and present tic* matter to him If the Governor does not act, Mr. Huff will then open fire iu the leg islature t3a.m ae - “The - burnt hands in-- famous ; the welded chain for eight muhtiie about the neeft is inhuman *nc iashes bn the woman in the manner they were administer ed was barbarous -nd the miser ...no grub of . pi .-ce of cold bread and coin fut meat is damnable. ” N > need to take these big ca/ha-'ho' pilis; ,»!.<: of ltr.
