Tim WINNSBOnO MROHANTs are not
the only ones who conaplain of the Ox
ceesivo and diserliinafing freight
charges made by the Charlotte, Coo
lumbia and Augusta Railroad Compa
ny. The Augusta Neuws of the 31st
ult. says: "At a meeting of Augusta
narchants, held this morning at the
office of Gco. T. Jackson & Co.,
strong resolutions were drawn up,
which will be presented to Council to
night, requesting that body to take
some action looking toward the C. C.
& A. Road reducing f'eight rates at
least so far that Augusta merchants
may not lose all their busiiuess over
the road, and be allowed to compete
fairly with other cities. We learn
that, instead of reducing rates, as re
cently petitioned by Augusta mer
chants, the C. C. & A. authorities
increascd them. This looks very much
like discrimination in reality." From
this it seems that the Railroad authori
ties are attellpting the same -game
Upon. the Augusta merchants that,
yersisteutly carried on for a series of
years, forced those of Winnsboro to
seek protection in the courts. If the
policy heretoi're pursued by the man
agers of the Road is to continue, the
Augusta merchants will find that they
can get their rights only by enforcing
them in the courts. The Augusta city
council has appolinted a committee to
investigate the matter.
TnE A-PanOrMATION DU. recently
passed by the Legislature is a good
sample of hurried legislation. The
levy for State purposes was fixed by
the House at 46 mills. The Senate
rarsed this levy to 41 mills, but subse
quently receded frot its amendment,
leaving the bill as it originally stood.
These facts are said to have been prop
erly entered upon the margin of the en
grossed bill, but the enrolling clerk,
by a mistake in copyiig, inserted the
Senate aiendment, in the Act. In the
haste incident to the last days of the
bession, the mistake was not observed,
and the Act, as enrolled, was duly
ratified and approved. Two other
errors have also been discovered. The
levy of $3000 in Charleston county,
for the Fourth Brigade, was improp
erly inserted, and the levy of a special
tax in Marion county was inadvertent
ly omitted. These mistakes give rise
to some apprehensions as to the validi
ty of the Act. Tile engrossed bill has
iever been ratified, or approved by
the Governor; while the enrolled bill
has not been read three times In each
house. Some think that the entire
levy of 41 mills can be made, and the
amount in excess of the appropriations
carried forward to the next fiscal year.
We trust this view may prove correct.
it would be very bad to have no legall
supp)ly bill--thus necessitating either|
an extra session of the Legislature, ori
the post ponemnent of tax-collecting tilli
late next winter.
The Hired Convicts.
The letters which we publish in this
issue, concerning the cond(l~on of the
penitentiary convicts hired to the
Greenwood and Augusta Rail road
Company, sp~eak fbr themisolves. A
great deal has been written, and much
mnore said, about the treatment of
these convicts. The first publication
on the subject was, we believe, the
letters of the staff correspondent of the
2.1wsy and CJouarier. Previous to this
there had been some grav'e charges
mnade, and these letters went far to
confirm the impression that (thie con
victs had really been very badly treat
ed. Then came a lengthy document,
termed a defense, f'om the Directors
of the ('reenwood and Augusta Rail
road-a document which rather evad
ed the kssue, and endeavored to throwv
blame omn others thani the railroad
maanagers. We now have the letter
of Colonel Lipscomb the superintend
emit, and of Dra. Trezevanit the surgeon,
of the penitentiary. These documents
do not conasist either of argument or
of the statements Qf convicts. They
describe things as actually seen by the
writers. The st atements of those gen
tlemen, made under the sanction of
solemna official obligations, more than
*confirm all the rumors and newspaper
accounts. Col. Lipscomb says that
"In one end of the stockade he found
imhe sick mIOn chatined on what was
intended to be a straw bed, but the
-straw was too thin to do much good."
He "could not stand the awful
stench." Tl e convicts "had no change
of clothiug, no shoes, no covering of
siny description" that he could see.
lHe says that out of 286 convIcts sent
* to the Railroad Company from Sep
tember 24, 1877, to A pril 7, 1879, in
elusive, 114 died--.a mortality of just
forty per cent. in less than two years.!
Dr. Trezevant confirms the statements
of Col. Lipscomb. Speaking of tile
hospital (?) ho says: "The English
huaguage do008 not possess words
suffieintly strong to express the
stonch that arose from the plae." Of
the ordinary. quarters he says: "The
stenoh arising from those quarters was
sickening totheouttermost extent." As
to the large number of deaths among
the convicts ho says that ti snortality
"Is sueleclent to prove what their treat.

But this committee can only make a
report-and this about a year henee.
It cannot try, convict and punish the
parties guilty of the inhumanities that
seem clearly to have been committed.
This can only be done by a court. and
jury. But courts and juries cannot
act of'their own motion. Some one
must take steps to have the thets
brought before a judicial tribunal.
This Is surely 'ot the duty of the
Goxernor, and still less can it be ex
pected of the Attorney General or the
Circuit Solicitor. It is peculiarly the
duty of the Directors of the peniten- I
tiary to take the matter ii hand. Let
them make atlidavits against Captain
Cahill and others suspected of cruelty
to the coivict-including if necossa
ry to a full investigation, all the
guardls and overseerr. If the parties
are innocent, they cannot suffer. A
judicial inquiry can only vindicate
their Innocence and their characters.
The Directors need certainly feel no
hesitation In this matter. If, how
ever, they retise to act, then let Col.
Lipscomb, the officer in charge of the
penitentiary, make the necessary
afildavits.
Enough has surely been shown to
call for a thorough judicial inquiry
into the treat ment of the convicts. If
no such step be taken, there will cer
tainly be ground for soine people to
say that the proper authorities connive
at conduct which, from the evidence
given to the public, seeus to have been
worse thanl inhuman.

Corun1A, S. C., Sept. 2, 1879.
To the Chairman and Board of Dj
-rectors, S. G. P.:
G0E'Nri.i-*mEN-H1aving received a let
ter foim Gen. P. 11. Bradle, prCsiden
of the Greenwood and Augusta Rail
road, statinK that, a great deal of mo

convicts leased to that company,
conferred with the chairman of th
board, showing him the letter. 11
instructedti me to go over there an
make an inspection of -their condition
and at my suggestion he instructe
me to take Dr. Trezevant, the surgeo:
of the institution, with mc, to see wih
could be done to ameliorate their coi

Dr. Trezovnlut and myself appointe<
the morning of the 21st of August t
go on the inspection. On the night e
the 20th I rcceived the attached not
from Dr. Trezevait, saviig he coul
not go, and I proccededI by myself oj
the morning of the 21st.
I met the lIon. A. P. Butler, one o
the board of directors, in Augusts
(,a., about 11 o'clock the same morn

camp on the South Carolina side, i
Edgefleld county, about nineteen o
twenty miles distant, which we reach
ed about 6 p). m.

nine sick men chained on what wa
intended to be a straw bed; but th
straw was too thin to do much good
I could not stand the awful stench an
had to direct the guard to unchai
them and bring them out in front o
the stockade. I found them in a d<
p)orable condition, all of them con
plaining of venereal diseases, swolle
limbs, &c. I then went to the so
called hospital, where I found thre
sick-two white men and one blac
man. They had some straw to li
upon and were all chained. Tile
were all covered with vermin. anm
fleas-so much so that I was forced t
leave the room. I don't see howI

Ic In the three days preceding, all
their nourishment was fat bacon an
bread. I left the camp and proceede
to where they were at work on tIl
road, about a mile or a mile and a ha
distant. I found about seventy-fly
men at work on the road, clothed. I

before. It was so late that I coul

We heard that Cahill had ordered ti
guard to shoot him.
Tile convicts were generally' in'su<
a bad condition that I deeme'di t i
imperative duty to send the surgec
of this institution to see them.
Tihe sIckness and mortality being
great, I hecard that some of 'the dire

I was informued that lie had refuse

Ing but his shackles and a oir ,

convict had general dropsy. * *
01 M(Garvey, the white convict, was so
y weak and emaclated that lie was una
ble to leave the shelf, and the straw
was so fill of vermin that I could not
D make a satisthtory examination of'
13 him. Tle English language does not
t possess words sufficiently strong to
express the stench that arose n'omn the
place.
* The quarters in which the laboring
' convicts are consist of two lo pells,
twenty by thirty feet, separated by an
alloy way of eight or tenl teet. In this
space I found eighteen other convicts
lying on the inked earth, their diseases
being principally exhaustion and
dropisles.
Tle same style of sleeping accom
miodations prevails in these pens as do
mIn the hospital, with the excotUn
that oi some of the shelves there is no
straw at all, and' from the polished
appearance of the clapboards, there
has been none since they have been
DIocculpled.
I saw neither trace nor sign of cov
I ering of aiy kind-blanket or aught
else. Thle stench arising from theso
quarters was sickening to the utter
most extent.
The cooking is done in six or eight
round iron ovens in the open air, the
bread which I examined being burnt
on top and raw throughout the bil
anc. I saw no arrangement for boil
fIing, &c. C
From the stockade I went to where
the convicts were at work, and in
Sspected each convict separately. With
the exception ofnine, I fouind them all,
more or less, infected witl scurvy,
and with an eruption which was evi
dently caused by the vermin on their
persons. There were two who were
rso swollen with dropsy of the ex
r tremities that I remarked that they
' should have been In the hospital, and
was told that they were there on light
N work, just to do what they pleased.
None of them possessed a change of
clothing, and their persons, thou h
evidently having beei washed th
preceding Sunday, were ofrensive o
account of the stench from the filth"1
I:clothing. y
IIn conversation with Dr. T. J. Mc
Kie, an excellent gentleian as well as
a physician, I found that lie had refus
ed to attend further on these convicts,
as he could be of no possible service
0 under such a condition of things as
p 1)rcvailcd; and Mr. Twiggs, the asso
c elate en luee of the railroad, with the
Geogia ranch, informs me that lie
remonstrated thme and again, but to no
effeict, and that out of one hundred and
ninety-one convicts, on the Georgia
side that since the 22d day of May lie
0 has had no sickness whatever.
The mortality above is sufficient to
prove what their treatment has been.
As the cool weather comes on, with
the system of the convicts so nnfeebled
by their scurvied condition, I am
afraid there will be a still greater mor
talit.v
I fiave the honor to be, with much
respect, your obedient servant,
