Editor Nobth State; The open
letter addressed through your columns
to X. R. Stamps, Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the' Penitentiary, about
the horrible condition fit the conficts
farmed put to the W. N. O. B. R., has
elecited from the Democratic press con
siderable discussion. This ' mnch a
bused publication was innocent enoagh
in itself, merely saying In sibstande to
Z rV-rS-rTi r-
the penitebtiary that the current report
" ;DV 'Y WBU '.F"r

mittce on' Penal Institutions, might be
excused from rising to inquire of Chair
man Stamps if the given report was
true, saying never a word about poli
tics and making do specific charges.
The Jarvis organs kept profoundly
quiet , on the subject, of inquiry uetil
the Moore Gazette, one of the laithful,
had the impudence to say: . ; j
is grave charge against the peni
tentiary authorities baa been made now
fur twelve days publicly, and we have
seen no denial of it. either from Mr.
Stamp or the Raleigh press, We
have rUimed that the Democratic par
ty w the party of justice and true
reform. (The large majority of its vo'
ters h honestly believed this, and
they 0i not luleuu to allow evilslor

otbci.tu. Ve, fur one, have uo idea
hi

This h- tnb brought confusion to the
camp, nr'n ging alteiition irom the ah -mhiistration,
and causing Editor Ashe
to juinp to hU feet, who, ou tbe 27th
of August, said in the Observer, official
mouth piece:
'"Why did not the Gazelle, instead f
assuming that there was an attempt at
whitewashing by Democratic officials,
prefer to conclude that Mr. William
son had his piece published ia the
North Stale merely for political consid
sideratloiih? Has the Gazette ever dis
covered ' that 'Mr. Stamps or the Ral
eigh press allowed evils to be covered
up or whitewashed over just to screen
negligent or corrupt officials?'"
And on the next day: ' .
"it is altogether in keeping witu Xbe
drl,gai to - .ute officer. It
wasapparently mere . piece of politi-
cal balderdash on the part of Mr. Wij-

practically charges that Major Atkin

that worthy gentleman the scape goat.
Hear him: .;. .
. "Mr. Williamson intimates that there
was some connection between the resig
tion of Major Roger P. Atkinson, who
was in charge of the convict force, and
tnis Dreaxing out of tne scurvy, if so,
it only goes to show how unfounded is

Baa 8eat i& double qaick timo to the
Capitol and brings back a copy of a
letter lrom the Governor's letter book,
which Jarvis, on June 13, 1881, sent to
s-mri- . t
Colonel A
about the treatment the . convicts weie
receiving. Listen to Andrews:
"At Sandy Mush quarters, the day I
spent -there, forty-two were in over
one-fourth, of the working force. Last
winter we lost a ereat deal of time from
frost bite caued by improper clothina,
ana mis summer from improper di-.t.
This is unfair to the railroad authori
ties, and humanity '-to the prisoners de
mauds a different treatment,"
