Mci ALL, Adsstt) Dee ll, ISM Sf f .' " . ? v: i-> ! </- V'??>T The fon viet System, Tho bill having beeu introduced in the llouse of Representatives to regulate the working of convicts hired out from tbe penitentiary by which the supervision, cuatro) ana punishment of such convicts is given to a deputy superintendent appointed by the State and to be paid by the parties hiring the convicta through the penitentiary, the committee charged with the bill reported unfavorably. When it came up fot action on Tu .vday, the 9th inst., Mr. Haskell moved to lay the report on the table and take up the bill, which was done. Mr. Hempbill moved to strike out the enacting clause. Mr. Haskell said that the Bill was almost identical with one which the House bad passed almost unanimously at its last session. This measure was not designed to prevent the hiring out of the convicts-that is manifestly impossible nt the present timo on account of tho inadequate accommodations for convicts within tho walls of the penitentiary. 'It is a fact that the deaths among convicts hired out without the control and super vision of the Superintendent was over thirty per cent., while, under such super vision, the death rate wax only seven per cent., and it was only tho demand of humanity that a system which produced such results should be remedied, if pos sible. Mr. Lee of Sumter opposed the bill and boped that tho enacting clausa would bo stricken out. The vote was then taken on tho mo tion to strike out, end the result, when announced by the Speaker was, yeas 45, nays 45. Tho Speaker voted nay and the effort to kill the measure tailed. Then came the n ost earnest, protract ed and able debates,: which have yet occurred in tho Hoare, displaying on both sides a mastery of tbe subject iu all its aspects, and a common purpose, though by different methods, to secure a more humane management of tte; con vict M. Mr. I Icm phill said that the bill vir tually destroyed the system of hiring out convicts, for it hedged nbout the hiring with conditions so onerous ns to act as an absolute bar to the making of con tracts for their hire outside of the peni tentiary. ' Mr. Haskell bad hoped that tho neces sity would not have been forced on tho friends of this measure to lift the curtain upon ono of the darkest pictures which haB disgraced the history of our State Government. Bui. he was impelled to state the truth in this matter so plainly that members would be compelled to face the responsibility which a vote on this question would involve. He gave facts and figures respecting tho murderous re uuli8 of the prevailing system-a Ryotcm BO appalling in its operation that tv.-o of the Judges had been compelled to say that they shrank with horror from the duty of sentencing convicts to the peni? tentiary. He admitted that the bill was but the first step in a reformation which was intended to lead ultimately to the employment of these convicts within tbe walls of the penitentiary, but the primary consideration of the advocates of the bill was humanity to linn unfortunate class, which the State waa bound in their utter helplessness to protect them from the inevitable results of this bloody sys tem. If he could contribute to tbe overthrow xif this system, and the ame lioration of this unfortunate class, he would feel that be had done more in the service of tbs State than be bad ever boped to accomplish, and he appealed to the higher sentiment of philanthropy and Christian duty of the members ol tho House, not to forego tbe opportunity which tho hill presented of wiping out so foul a blot from tbe proud escutcheon of the State. Mr. Blake nf Abbeville opposed the views of Mr. Haskell, taking the ground that the very evils ?o eloquently portrayed by him and worse had, in tbe experience of the Western penitentiary manage ment, resulted from hiring out the con victs. Incurable and loathsome diseases contracted within the prison bad thin been disseminated through the commu nity outside, mid the policy of leasing out was every where being abandoned. Mr. Raysor,'supporting the bill, said it was important to the State that thc Eenitenliary should be self sustaining ut he was confident that there was nc one in the House who would have it sc at the expense of the humane treatment of the unfortunate criminals who wen the subjects of its discipline. There could be no doubt that under the con tract system great wrongs and enormitiei had been committed and fros? pas experience be regarded it as absolutely necessary for the protection of the con vieta that certain restrictions should bi thrown around their management whet outside tbe walls of the penitentiary. I would not destroy the contract system ti do so, as the lessees now have to em' ploy guards to supervise the convicto and the bill only makes the, guard directly responsible to the Superintend ent and appointed by him.1 Mr. Lee said, if the underlying mo tive of the bili was that of humanity ti leased convicts, as claimed by its author then it should prevent the leasing o convicts entirely ; but the bill does uo ?impose to do thin, but continues am egalizes such hiring, but .under sud harsh restrictions as practically calls ii all leased convicts and insures them em ploy ment on the Columbia Canal. Tb inconsistency of the author of tho bil can only be explained by himself. I the leased convicta wero called in, i must result tn overcrowding tho peni ten tiary, and in the language of the Burgoo in his report "would be positively danger ous- to human life.'' The penitentfar; would be no longer self sustaining, bu an expense to the State. The exislin laws, carefully guarded the welfare c the convicts, lt. belog the duty of th Superintendent and Surgeon to visit an inspect the camps. This duty had bee performed, the annual report declarin that "the condition or the bands ha been made as favorable aa possible ur der ?ho circumstances, the contracto) always shoeing a perfect willingness t make any changes in their managemet or treatment suggested by myself or th Surgeon. There baa been no recen complaint of .inhumanity." In ebor the proposed bill does, not secure th humanity to the convicts but' means tb calling in of tho prisoners ; the ovei crowding of the penitentiary ; increase mortality among them ; more labor ft the Columbia Canal : larger approprii tion^TWled labors Impro vexf ijnpli merni, engines' and salaries to rend? that . labor effective ; larger approprii tiona for sustaining the penltentiar and increased taxes in ?he Stale. Mr. Haskell indignantly repelled tl insinuations of tho member from Sun ter, and buried his hypocritical assurai tiona under an avalanche of solid log and fact, respecting the employment the convicts outside and inside the pen tentiary, and assuming tbe hypothetic ely lo of Mr. Loe-"if tho gcntlenu from Sumter believes in the argument 1 bee presented In opposition to the bl then I sly, with the opinion I hold hi? ability, l am not only surprised, b astonished.'' . Mr. Raysor earnestly advocated the passage of tho bill on thu ground of humanity. Mr. Parker moved an amendment to the first Section, which strikes out from tho bill the clause providing : "And the i party hiring shall have no control, but may direct what labor shall be done, and such orders shall bo executed by tho ollicer in charge." He thought that with this amendment tho objection that ? the bill would prevent the hiriug of con? viet < would be removed and the provision remain which would secure the humane treatment of tho convicts, which, be supposed, was tho wish cf every member ? of the House. Mr. Kennedy of Charleston moved tho indefinite postponement of the bill, and c died for the yeas and naya. Tho vote stood as follow* : yeas 39, uays 76. So the House refused to post pone the consideration of the bill. Mr. Parker's amendment WP? then adopted, aa also ono striking out the ! wordu "exclusivo control," which was made necessary by tho adoption of the first. Mr. McCrady, advocating the bill, paid a high tribute to tho course which had been pursued by Mr. Haskell iu referenco to legislation on this subject. It was the course of tho highest patriot ism, and he had exhibited no greater evidence of dovotion to tho true inter ests of the State and of ao?iety than in his efforts, nt ono period almost uunided, to correct tho inhuman abuses which tho system of hiring out convicts bad de veloped. Mr. MoCrady showed that the proposed bill differed from tho existing law only in the provision for Hupervisiou by timeworn officer and gusrds and the clauses iucidcnl thereto ; i.ud in provid? ing that the timo consumed by t-'ae con victs in going to and returning from work Bhall be taken as u part of tbo hours constituting tbe day's work. The bill, after further verbal amend ments, was passed to a third rending, without divieiou. ..Hold Up Your Hands I?' LITTLE ROCK, ARK., December G. At half-past. 10 o'clock to-night, a pas senger train on the Little Rock, Missis sippi River and Texas Railroad, coming this way, when three miles below Little Rock, was stopped by fivo masked rob bers, who switched tho train off, took complete possession and went through all the passengers. Conductor Rico and express messenger Hunnicut were in tho baggage car. The robbers opened fire as they went toward tho engine, and both men were covered with revolvers. About 76 people were in tho cars, and great excitement followed. All were ordered to hold up their hands, and the robbers then Wtint to work. They broke open tho express oafe, and according to reports, got $2,000 and besides obtained from pas sengers watches, jewelry and money. $4,000 more. No indignities were offered to the passengers, and when they finished the robbers disappeared, after enforcing a promise from tbe passengers not tn leave the train for ten minutes. A strong posse, headed by detectives, are in pur suit. The train arrived nt Little Hock about ll :30 o'clock. LATKR.-Within twenty-four hours after tho robbery the police succeeded in arresting four men on suspicion, and three of them proved to be the right ones. Their names are Cook, Clifiord and Parker, all residents of Litllo Rock. Cook has made a full confession, and says there were only four men in the party. The robber not yet arrested ia Kline. Ten wntchen and several hun dred dollars have been recovered. Advertising fur a Husband, NEW HAVEN, Coon., December 3. The crank young women of Long Island, not content with the field afforded them for their talen tn in matrimonial eccentrici ties, are coming out strong iu remote sections of tho union. The telegraph was kept actively nt work conveying the newspapers intelligence of the doingt, of a young heiress from Gravesend, who is creating a sensation among the marriage able meu of New Haven, Connecticut. 6be arrived there a couple of days ngo, aud after establishing herself in tue best rooms in the hotel, engaged Mr. W. G. Butler, a young lawyer, aa her agent, and then inserted an advertisement in tbe local papers. This was a remarkable in vitation to. the marriageable Of all ages to compete for. her band. As an induce ment ehe offered a fortune of $50,000. She requires all those matrimonially inclined, who send replies to ber "ad," to submit their photographs and make a full statement of their moral and tem poral standing. This sum includes, she says, 200 head of cattle, 117 yoke of oxen, two emoke-brindle steers, 5,000 acres of land in the Indian Territory and $22,000 in bonds of the Michigan Iron Mountain company, of which ex-Senator Barnum Is president. Over 150 letters were received in reply the first day, and the lawyer .has two secretaries busy filing these bids and writing answers. Last night th J hotel was mobbed by swains of all ages, eager to win the bride and the boodle. When asked why she finds it necessary to advertise for a husband, she replies : "Ob, I'm fastidious, and I never am content to go shopping and buy the first article that comes to hand. I want to have all the stock of all the stores pulled down from the shblves for me so I can pick and choose." "And that's what you are doing now?" \ "Yes, Pm having all the stock before : me for a choice." "And you will select one?" "Ob, not unless the quality comes up to my standard." "Have you any objection to giving {our name? It is not on the hotel reg ster." . "An objection ? Of course. Only tho husband I select shall know that. Hon to Keep Sausage. A writer in tho South and Weit, gives the following on keeping sausage until Spring: "As soon as posai bio after making your sausage make out in small cakes, and fry until done. Remove from the skillet and pack closely In stone jars until within five or six Inches of the top, then fill to -the top with melted lard. After the lard bas cooled examine closely and if there are any holes fill them with melted lard. Tie closely and set away io the cellar , until wanted for use. When you desire to ose it take out whet you wish for one time and set in the oven till the lard is I melted, which pour beck to exclude the air. Pour s?me wsrm water over the sausage while hot, cover, and let steam for a few minutes. Prepared in this way it will keep for months and be almost as nice as when fresh." - President Arthur's recommend at lon that G?n?ral Grant be placed on the pension Hat is said to have been prompt ed by the fact that the ex-President is almost wholly without means. - It ia said that the Mormons will have a rich lobby in Washington this Winter to look after their interests. Anderson la tho Legislature. Too Nevi ami Courier is publishing sketches of the Souators sud Representa* ti vt .i in the Legislature from tbo various Counties in this State. Among them we find tho following sketches of tho lives and public services of tho Senator and Representatives from this County, which will be read with interest by our sub scriber* : MAJOR JOHN B. MOOKI?, the Seuator from Anderson, is one of the leading members of the Anderson liar. Ho waa boru in Anderson district in 1885, and after a common school education eutcrcd tho University of Virginia. He rcmaiucd in that college until 1867, when he entered noon the study of law and was admitted to tho liar in ISM), lleforo lio bad nu opportunity of attaining emi nence in his chosen professiou circum stances arose which induced him to chango it. Ho obeyed tho call of this State to arms, and entered the servico as captaiu of Company L, of Orr's famous regimcut of rille). He served in this regiment until disabled near tbe close of tho war and rose to tho rank of msjor. At tho close of tho war he returned to the peaceful sud congenial pursuit of tbe legal profession and has fulled it ever si nco. He bas tbeconfideucoand esteem of his fellow-citieens, and was elected to the Houso ol Representatives in 1869. After serving one term be retired, but served the Democracy on the State once utivo committee for two terms, having beeu a member of tbe committee in the memorable campaign of 187<1, when be wnB ono of the most outspoken advocates of the Straight-out policy, lie v.-un elect ed to tho ?-icuatc in 1882, is chairman of the .'ommitteo on roads, bridges and ferrie!., and an active and influential member of several other standing com mittees. Mr. Mooro is a genial gentle man, a pleasant companion, an able debater and a faithful, public spirited and conscientious legislator. MR. II. O. SCUDDAY, a member of tho House from Anderson, wan born in Lowndeaville, Abbeville County on October 6,1858. When he was quite a young lad, his father, Dr, H. H. Scudday, moved to Anderson to prac tice his profession. Mr. Scudr'ay was educated at tho Anderson High School under the charge of Prof. W. J. Ligon, who has educated a number of the prom inent men in upper South Carolina. Mr. Scudday studied law in the law offlce of Judge J. S. Cotbrnn, at Abbeville, during the years 1877 and 1878, was admitted to the Bar in December, 1878, and immedi ately located at Anderson to engage id tbe practice of his profession as tho resi dent partner of Col. J. S. Colhrau, who was then solicitor of the Eighth circuit. The partnership continued until Col. Cot bran was elected judge of the Eighth circuit. He was electedto the Legisla ture in 1882 and WUB re cleo tod in 1884. Tho legal profession bas received much nid from his bill reducing the number of dockets. He took n bold stand against the exemption of factories from taxation and the present usury law. He advocates a strict constructiou of the Constitution in determining tbe merits of legislation. He was a warm supporter of the educa tional institution* of tho State in tbe recent campaign, and is an ardent advo cate of the temperance cause. Mr. Scud day has met with gratifying success in tbe practice of his profession. He is a sound thinker, a fluent- speaker and a warm advocate of whatever he thinks is heft for bis constituency. MR. J. HELTON WATSON, a member of tbo House from Anderson, was born on the first day of March, 1853, and waB also educated by Prof. W. J. Ligon. Mr. Watson is one ol our largest and moat successful planters, and resides about tour miles above the City of An derson. As an indication of his popu larity it may be said tbat at the late Democratic primary election . in August he headed the ticket for the Legislature, and out of 8,788 votes be received nearly 2,800. It may be uafely said that Mr. Watson's course in the Legislature will be dictated by sound policy, and that he will be a conservative, conscientious member. The agricultural interests of the State will receive his special attentions where his knowledge ot tbe needs of these interests will make bim a safe counsellor in shap ing the legislation m that eubject. coi,. E. M. nue;:i:II, another of the members from Anderson County, was born in Ruckorsville, Eloert County, Ga., on June 15, 1828.

Candy pulling? are a nuisance, bul I suppose we have to hare them. X have now arrived at that age and frat.ie of mind that I submit to anything-any? thing to please the children. And so when they got there mother's consent the matter was all arranged and the company invited without consulting me. There was a spare room in the house and as I had some writing to do I adjourned my self there to have a quiet lime. While ruminating before the fire and smoking the pipe of peace and tranquility the ?oung folks began to gather and before I new it the young ladies were ushered into my room as a reception room, and I wa? kindly informed that I would have to vacate. With a sigh of resignation I retired and poked around generally. I wiall I bad a room-a room of my own and Mrs. Arp ?ava ?be wishes she had a room-a room of her own. But she can't have ono. She never will have one. for children and grand children would be loat and I would be lost. She can't slip off to nabor Freeman's but what a dozen want to know where sho ts and nhen is aha coming back. The dog and the cat follow, her-no she will never have a room to herself. But I found good company at the candy Fulling and bad a good timo anyhow, for do love these n?borly visita. I lovo to seo the young folks happy and I lovo to discourse polities and crops and nabor hood tieWS with'tho oidor o ney. Hut I h ir. candy business is not serene ; tone of tho girls burned ber hand dreadfully and is still carrying it in a bandage. And then it ia so messy, as Mrs. Arp saya. The' children got candy all over tho .floor and tho tables and bureau. It sticks to my stocking yet when I get ready togo to bed. It melts and smokes on trie hearth. Tho dishes are all daubed and hard to clean up again. The door knobs and dipper handles are sticky and they keep sticky aa long as the candy lasts. Bot every pleasure has ito drawback. After every dinner the dishes are tobe washed. After every repose the bcd has to he made up. We ride and drivo and then the horse bas to bo put up and fed. Wc dance to sweet music and havo to pay the fiddler. We go on a picnic or an excursion and como home tired and weary. Every pleasure seem to bo followed by pain or by trouble just as tho night follows the day. But still it ia right, tor it is nature. We live in contrasta and enjoy them. Supposo we do hunt all day and find no game. Hope is a good thing, and it wos one of the questions we used to debato when I was a boy, "whether the pursuit j or the possession gave the most pleasure." I took the affirmative one lime when I was pursuing my sweetheart with love and hope and devotion, and I argued my sido with earnest eloquence. But whon I lost ber and another fellow got posses sion I flopped over to the other aloe. Io a year or so I recovered and puraued Mrs. Arp with fear and trembling, and when I possessed her I was happy. The pur* ault is a lively, interesting and uncertain business where a sweet young maiden is concetnod, but the possession iasolid nod sure und never gives out. We had a frolic at our country academy last week. Tho night you were all jubi lating in Atlanta we were quietly enjoy ing ourselves near our homes with our wives and our children. The ladies, God bless them, invited UM to a supper in tho academy, a aplaudid supper, ? feast of good things with no headache in them. My folks killed a turkey and baked some cake and the nabnrs did likewise, and they got oysters somewhere and long tables were spread and groaned with good things and we thought it waa all a free show until wo got there and fouud a doorkeeper and had to pay to go in, Then they finished up with bills of fare, and to everything there was a price, but wo couldnt back out, for the sight and the savory smell provoked an appetite, After I had made, them a little speech, which I had prepared for the occasion, one kind lady manager conducted me tc a seat and said I was ber guest and thc choicest viands should cost me nothing ; with'this assurance I partook amazing)? and feasted to my entire content, and about that time another kind Indy pre sented ruo my bill abd called for a dollai -a whole dollar, and said I had oyster* twice and turkey twice. I paid it witt] cheerful alacrity but somehow I don') appreciate so many managers on euof occasions. Nevertheless, I had.the hoDQi of being ono fair lady's guest oveb tho upi I was another's victim.' Then {.paid foi Mrk. Arp-'mid tho'' children and though' I w?s done, but they bcd a fish pond It one corner, behind a curtain, and (ht children wanted to drop a line just lose? what they'would catch-well that cos' some dimes' and'next came ? raffle for ! Soe, largo cake, and thoy all wanted i chance, and Mrs. Arn took a notion ?hi could throw 18 with three dies, and ebor enough she threw four and retired wit! matronly, dignity and said she dido' want the cake nohow. Well, the shot went on, and on until they got all ou change and had enough money to plaste the school house. There was good mus! there and the trustees were consulted h ; tho young folks about a dance, just a HUI dance to wind up on, but they said "no, and they said it like they meant it, andi reekon they did, and the young foll surrendered and said, well, if we can i dance we can have a little twlstificstloi Before anybody knew what that mean the floor was cleared and the music bega and the twistification, too, ' ind the twisted all around arid about, and crosse over, and hands aft round, and change partners, and promenade all, and parti voo Francais, and I don't know what al and the solemn trustees looked on wit enjoyment, and were satisfied because was only a trmtificrUipn.

Tue Wee Cr j In .the Night. My n inn o is Anthony Hunt. I am a drover, aud live nine miles away upon the western prairie. There wasn't a house in eight when I first moved there, my wife and I, and now we have not many neighbors, though those, we have aro good ones. One day, about ten years ago. I went away from home to sell about fifty head of cattlo-fine creatures as I ever saw. I was to buy some groceries and dry goods before I came back, and, above all, a doll for our youngest. Dolly. She Had never bad a store [doll, ?of ber own-only rag babies her mother made her. Dolly could talk ?nothing else, and went down to the very gate to call alter mo to get a big one. Nobody but a parent can understand how full roy mind was of the toy, and how, when tho cattle were sold the first thing I hurried oil' to buy was Dolly's doll. I found a large ?ne with eyes that would open and shut when you pulled n wire, and had it wrapped up in ti paper and tucked it indcr my arm while I had the parcel* of :HHCO, and delaino and tea, and sugar ?ut up. Then, late ns it was, I started Tor home. It might have been more undent to stay until morning, but I felt tnxlous to pet back and cager to hear Dolly V praises about her doll. I was mounted on o sready?going old loree and pretty well loaded. Night sot n before I was a mile from town,- aud ettled down as dark as pitch while I waa n the middle of the darkest bit of road know of. I could have felt my way, hough, I remembered it so well ; and ?hen the storm that had been brewing iroke and pelted tho rsin in torrents, I ras five miles or maybe, six miles from ionio. . i rode as fast aa I could, but all of ia udden I beard a little ciy Uk? a child's oico. I stopped short aud listened. .I leard it agolo. I called and it answered ne. . I couldn't seo a thing ; all was as lark as pitch. I got down and; felt round in the grass-called again, and gain was answered. Then I oegan to ronder. I'm hot timid,- but I was mowo to bo a drover, and to have mon >y about me. It might be a trap to latch me unaware and rob and murder ne. I am not superstitious, not very, mt bow could a real child bo 'cut on the unirle in such a night, at such an hour? X might be more Utan human. The bit if a coward that bides itself In most * nen showed itself to me then, but once nore I beard the cry, and said I : "if any man's child is hereabouts Anthony Hunt ia not the man to let it lie." I searched again. At last I bethought ne of a hollow under the hill and ?roped that way.- Sure enough I found i little dripping thing that moaned and obbed as t took it io my arms. I called ny boree and tbe beast came to roe and t mounted and tucked tho little soaked bing under my coat as well as I could, iromising to take it home to mamma. It teemed BO tired, and pretty soon cried tself to sleep on my bosom. It bad slept Ibero over an hour when I law my own window. There were lights n them, nnd I supposed my wife had lit hem. for my sale, but when I got into bo doorway I saw something was the natter, and mord still with a dread fear >f heart five minutes before I could lift :hu latch. At last I did it and saw tho room full of neighbors and my wife imid them weeping. When she saw. me ihe hid ber face. "Ob. don't iell him," shs cried. "It ?ill kill him." "What is it neighbors ?" I cried. "Nothing now, I hope. What's that rou have io your arm ?" "A poor lost child," said I ; "I found it on the road. Take it, will you? I've .urned faint." And I lifted the sleep* ing thing and saw the face of my own :bild, my Dolly. It was my own darling .iud none other that I bad nicked up on the drenched road. My little child had wandered out '.o meet papa and- the doll while the. mother v.-a a at work, and they were, lamenting ber as one dead. I thanked, beaven on my knees before them. It ?B not much of a story, neighbors, but I think of it often io the night? and wonder bow I could bear to live now if [ bad not stopped when I beard the evy br help iipon the road, hardly ' louder han a squirrel's chirp.
