Reid, though still confined 10 bed, is rapidly recovering from his spell pneumonia. The Senate has concurred in the House memorial to Congress to defeat the bill taxing cotton seed oil lard. Senators Ross and McDonald and Hon. P. Maxwell returned yesterday after Several days' absence, visiting their families.

A large number of bills were disposed of the House Monday. That body has now down to work and is progressing very satisfactorily with legislation. The colored members occupy seats together on tbe extreme right. Led by tbe Hon. G.

F- Bowles, of Natchez, they usually vote together but seldom speak. The House did not consider the proposi- on Monday to apportion Clay among adjoining counties. Both her Representatives were absent with leave. The House of lU-preseotative was flooded by a bevy of beauties on Tuesday morning. No 1cm than twenty one liaml- some ladies were in the Hall at one time.

Whitney, Hicks, Casey, Simmons and Harris occuy one row of fseatg on the right, five more faithful or competent Legislators could not be found in any law-making body of the country. We are please I to anuoimcc that Hon. A. Reid, member of the House of Rep-rcn ntative from Quitman county, who been very low with pneumonia for eseveral days, is now very much better. Three member of tbe Committee on Henevolent Institution have left for Natchez, and from there go to Vicks-blirjj, for the purpo; of investigating the mansigcment of the Sta'e institution at these place.

It causes an audible smile throughout tbe House when Mr. Madison, of Noxubee sits down on 11 member by ciillins: "Regular The member looks around to see what ha hit him, begins to feel for bis chair and slidps into bis seat looking as innocent as a himb.

Ihe commonwealth seemed all agtow with excitement about development in this hoe, and tbe legislation was exceedingly liberal favorable to I base projecting new enterprises this kind. Mr lieyaolds seemed to leel prefatory thrill of a new revival of sus'ieuded animation of the Stale and exultant in tbe belief thai the legislation which be, in a large measure, fashioned, would go far toward rebuilding the waste places ot our otate: and when at a later day it began to appear that the public sentiment of the Slate seemed to demand a curtailment of the liberal grants heretofore bestowed upon railroads, his ideas did not change, and down to the time ol arrival of the inevitable he combaUed with uuparall.led skill and maichless adroitness every proposition looking, as he thought, to the fetteringof of these projected enterprises. r.Reynolds cou-vinixd me that he was actuated by a high and hones: purpose in alt ihis long drawn out controrersy. 1 b-irnedal Hie time, his views became unpopular in pans of bis own district, yet he changed seeming to agree with Edmund Burke, who said oui-e iu denning U1S duty lo Ills constituency, Your renreseutative owes you not his industry hut his jiulgmeut, and be betrays instead of rviug you il he tacrinee it to yowr opiuiou His patriotism was by me undoubted. He was intensely devoted to his biaie, ana isiiieveti tier aud full ol great possibilities.

He believed with Ur. Samuel Johnson, who said, that "attack is the reaction; I never think 1 have hit hard unless it rebounds." His capacity for work and his diligence and patience were amazing. He spoke to no question except to advance a new thought or a new illustration thinking it a waste of Uino lo repeat that which had earlier ssid. He set a high value upon the contidedto to him by his constituents, and scorned to believe, as 1 do, Mr. Chairman, that there is bulone, ii any, higher calling open to men the making of laws lor one's ncighuura.

On occasions he spoke lengthily but always learnedly; vigorously aud couvinciugly, bul a ways courteously. He was a man, too, "Whose fat.cy as bright as the tire-fly's light, i layed 'round every object aad shoue while it piayel, Whoso wit, in the combat as gentle as bngh', AVer carried a heart-slain away ou its blade."

SENATOB J. C. IlCiDISS'S REMARKS. Mr. PKKSlnutaT Iteuben O.

Reynolds was. nmnv r.nectsi a verv remarkable man, and it is eatliumtir -vAew that tna of the rnli unnn tliU floor should pause lor a uuieiu customary avocations to review tne nisxory oi i I life, to recount his private virtues, and public ricus. and to render a proper tribute of re to his memory. Mr. President, we must all cross the same dark Bame valley.

Way back in the history of the world, when a soli pair constituted the entire human family, the irrevocable decree went forth, "dust thou art, and dust thou shalt return." From that eventful period, to tke present, the Pale Horse, mounted by ridcr.Death, have been on their heartless errand. Kight and day, over land and sea, ever since man became mortal. His merciless tread has been fre- quenny uearo. wj reetouim hwsb nuns. lu 18SO I hail tbe honor of a seat in the ther end of tBi Capitol, and since that time, at each sitting of the Legislature these solemn services hare been held ia memory of some deceased brother KepresentatiTe; at our last session, he, to whose life and character these services are dedicated, stood ia this hall, yea, upon this very spt and paid in his char acteristic, eloquent manner, a tribute to the nim- oi tha eood aud Kreat Senator Vertner.

Th thoughtful here should pause, aud enquire, who next? Mr. President, Reuben O. Reynolds was born in Madison County, about ISIS, aud when quite an infant his father, Br. Reynolds, moved to Mississippi and settled a lew miles north ot the beautiful and enterprising little queen city Aberdeen, llo attended, and was graduate of the Athens, Georgia, College, and alterwards with high honors, graduaieu in i Jciaw uepanmeni oi the University of Virginia. Reluming home, be began the practice ot his chosen profession in partnership with Gen.

Wni. G. Henderson, which continued until January, 1858, at which time ha formed a partnership with th Hon. L. E.

Houston, one ol the most forcible and eloquent advocates of the leiral proiession known iu norm Mississippi, .1 l.t. anu wuu uiu I 1 tr a. I H.l I fl hint District, nf Mississiuni. Mr. President, 1 know but little of Col.

Reynold's an atttornev befora the war. far I was too young then to take cognizance of men or measures, but in April, 161, when the clouds of war were withering: over this grand Republic, and Mis sissippi was called upon to furnish her brave and noble sons, Reuben O. Reynolds turned his back iunn his beautiful home, friends, kindred and loved ones, and entered ih Confederate army as Fir.i Lieutenant of the Van Dorn Reserves. Hi was soon afterwards alerted Captain ef the Com pany, and in 1864 was promoted to colonel ol the Eleventh Mississippi Regiment. No braver soldier, sir, ever wore the gray, or drew a sword none; mora highlv esteemed and admired by his fellow-comradss tt'i.

that he was alwavs kind to thosa who fought under bim. Oue of the last engagements of the war the hgnt at rrarsourg wane gallantly iMuiinir his regiment, he received a wound which necessitated the amputation of his left arm, and which canstd htm to go forth wearing an ematy sleeve all through the remainder of his brilliaat civil career. Returning home from the war he resumed tha nractlce of his profession with Judge L. E. Houston still as his partner.

Among his assaciatas 1. 1 I II .1 Tnhn 1 .1 lUt Uat WW. wubu Col. Vim. Doud and Gen.

S. J. Gholson, all of whom have passed over the river before him, and those who survive him are Gen. Reuben Davis, Joel M. Acker, Murphy, tfyses tiristow, Houston A Buchanan, and Chancellor McFarlane.

Amid that galaxy of ditinguished names, who have, and now compose a bar equal to any in the State of Missis- ippi, it ia do elaboration to aay that Beuben O. ReTnolds waa regarded as a "Dnxut particular star. He' was not only esteemed as a worthy ftssoriateof those distinguished men, wno nave renected bc much credit and lustre upon the bar of Mississippi, but he was an now. edged leader. 1 was thoroughly versed in all the intricacies of tbe law.

and eioTed an enviable repatatioii as a sale, re liable counsellor; but it was in the trial of causes before a jnry that his great talents shown most resipienuentiy. Mr. President, have many remarkable arents transpired in the history of Mississippi which time may obliterate from the memory of ber sons; bat, sir, that memorable arent which took placa in the rMr 1875 that alopons transition from political darkness into the sparkling rays of the sun of lib-ertT, wiil HTe fresh and green in the memory oi evarr trtia Miafissippian until their mortal remains ara called to rest within nor sacred bosom. It was trwn. sir.

that lieuben O. Reynolds ws called bv his people from a lucrative practice, to mount tha political Kostrum and to accept a seat in this Cham- to dav, and from week to week, he had no su pefiar and rarely soatln Ihe history -Uie in o-iscHssuiikc, mi. p-iiuhii iwuev tuni, irom Muintrv. His qualities for such an ordeal were of the highest order. His devotion to his beloved old commonwealth never faltered in the days of ber wilvenitv.

About ls-vO, years ago, tbe Prince of Peace iron the monatot beaocitades said, "blessed are tbe peace -makers, tor tbey shall be called tbe children ot tiod." Tbis benediction coming along down through tbe eorridon of tbe eenui-riea, from tbe hallowed Hps of the aoa of God, fell upon Beuben O. Reynolds, lie was a peace-maker. While be was a member of the benate, it was sometimes the east that in the beat of debate tbe tender sensibility of a Senator would be wounded, and hot and hasty words ensue.

The beloved Hey-oolds was ever ready to poor oil on tbe troubled waters, and it seemed to be regarded as hia special prerogative so to do. SI r. President I shall ever rejrard myself most fortunate in havibg been a member of this body when Kevnolds was a member aud that he was my friend. If was called on now, to give tbe boys present a aord of advice should say, "give the world assurance of a man," Keyuold 'rave tbe world assurance of a man."

Senator Reynolds character and history have been, already displayed. Cut when I gaze at his vacant scat, the heart is sad, the mouth chokes, the eye fills with tears. Last sr-ssiun Senator Vertner's chair was draptd emblems of death, aad I saw Senator Bey-notds standing at his chair noble form and arm less slecre with 1 is fine clear blue eye, his blonde face lovicgiy turned to the noble Vertner's desk across bar of the iH-'iiale, and among the good wonts he said a "that lie was the most perfect gentleman ever knew."

BlNFOBD'S KSMABKS. Mr. Pbksidkxt: I cannot refrain, both in an individual capacity and as the Representative of people composing the 14th Senatorial IMstriet, paying a tribute to-nieht to the memory of oueof Mississippi's purest, wisest and noblest citizens, the Hon. Itcubcn O. Reynolds; and, sir, it seems to me eminently proper that I should do this in an individual and a Kepresentativc capa for I am sure that what 1 shall say to-night strike a responsive chord in the hearts and will the voice of those whom I have the honor to represent uon this floor.

Sir, we loved and honored him for hi great worth grandeurof character when living aud will but honor and cherish his memory in death, for well do remember his devotion to Mississippi and the sacrifices for her; and, indeed sir, his best days given in ber service. Mr. President, when our memories run back to a that can never die, we see a cruel and relentless foe threatening like a mightv billow to over whelm and crush Mississippi in common with her sister Southern States then, sir, do we see 'ie braye and intrepid Key nobis among the first offer his strong ana and brave heart defense of Mississippi and her rights followinir him with memorvls eye, we find him at his post, ready, if need be). to offer his heart's blood in ttetense ot ine otait ue lovea so wen: sir, at last, when the laatfbugie noto had sounded, when the last Confederate gun had fired, u-hon nvertiowered bv superior numbers, this brave I of Mississippi 1SH.w.Ub. I eOUtnern SOiuier, uuiaiiiiaucu "3 o.nsiu Biniu, hoped that now "grim-visag ar nau smoothed wrinkled front, ''and thatsweet dove-eyed Peace would hover like an angel over lus beloved sunny home.

But, alt, sir, not so for soon came the dark of so-called reconstruction, when the dark cloud of hatred and revenge appeared on the 1 1. than before theo, sir, came a time that tried n.t.n' souls, and then, too, came the time when some of her sons, be it said to their eternal shame, raised tlieir paricidal hand against this noble eld common wealth but once more brave, true and noble Reuben O. Keynoids came 10 ner rescue, not, noff-evcr, with glittering arms, but with a brave heart a wise head with other of her true sons, stood nobly and bravely at the helm and steered the of State into a harbor of security and rest, amfhT their sjuracitv. wisdom and suncrior intel DrOKP me suauKies inai uuuuu oer, auu ouuo i more freed her from the worse than Egyptian bond- lillt, Sir, UlS services uiu uut eua uure. atiun, account of his superior talent, into the Legislative Councils of his State to aid in constructing a Code of laws, he freely gave to Mississippi his time his talent and many ol us who had the honor to with him upon this floor can testily to ms ntienty that trust, and as long as tne present taws oi aus- sissippi shall exist, so long win ie tne impress oi nis great mind upon them.

Nor, sir, is this all for whilst he was brave and dauntless as a soldier wise devoted as a citizen, he was as kind and as gentle as a woman. A better citizen no State ever frjen(j no nian cottld desire. In shortsir, be had such had, a braver foe never faced an enemy, a truer combination of virtues so happily blended ill him that we can stand by his th a man die? No, sir, for whilst, ha has trone from our midst and is. I trust ana Bright Beyond," yet sir, "departing he has left behind his foot-prints on the sands of time," and as long as Mississippi has a son or a daughter that loves the truly brave and the right, so long will be cherished the memory of Reuben U. Ueynolds.

He was the brave, wise anu true sou oi Mississip and as suca sne mourns nis acain. ue was my personal menu, anu as such i muuru uls ueaui. conclusion, Senators, let us hide whatever faults he may have had with the mantle of our love let us cherish his memory and emulate his virtues.

Mr President: Speaking, as I always do, with out previous prepaiatioa, (in the hurly-burly of an active legislative life) it would seem like desecra- tion in me not to speak on the inspiration of the moment, at the grave ot iteuoen u. Kcynoias. A true and noble gentleman, he was a manly man. 1 had known him long but not intimately before 1 met him, in this Chamber as a Senator.

Call ing to mind many incidents cf his life, related to me by him, there is one not referred to in the felic itous remarks of the Senator from the Tenth district. (Mr. Houston.) I will refer to it, as it is the only incident in his life of which he ever spoke with bitterness. AU else, however bitter the varied experiences might acorn to persons less filled with kiudHness, he glossed with his admirable humor. That episode was enacted in Ihe county of Noxu bee.

He had just arrived at the age of twenty -one. and tome person, whose duty it was to preserve it had run ofi his property (worth about twenty thou worth about twenty thou- county.

usually placid, smiling face took on a cloud which seemed out of place on such a countenance. He spoke bitteily, but soon, said: But, enough of that miserable experience," and turned to a pleasing subject, and was at once the same kindly, genial Reynolds. Mr. President, it has been said mat lie was a peacemaker. We do some of us remember aa oe- i i i.

R. O. was born in Georgia, in 1835. childhood, he with bis parents Monroe coontr. near Aberdeen.

Reynolds In early came to Prepared in that city he entered college at Lagrange, and afterwards the University of Georgia, and there completed his academic course. From Georgia, he went to the University of Virginia, where he became Bachelor of Laws. Returning to Aberdeen, he married in 1865, and began the practice of his pro- ession with m. G. iienderson.

His wife died in 1856. leaving no children. On Jan. 1, '58, he and Lock Houston be came law partners, and so continued years and 2 months, without an unfriendly disagreement, and until his cartner was made judge. When the civil war commenced, his firm was of counsel in over four hundred issue cases in Monroe county, besides doing a lucrative probate business.

They also practiced in Chickasaw. Pontotoc, Itawamba, Tishomingo and Lowndes, in the first two having a good docket. He promptly responded to the Sooth's call for volunteers, was. elected first lieuten ant and afterwards captain of the van Dorn Reserves. He became Colonel of his, tbe 1 1th Mil.

Regiment, which he commanded until tbe war ended. He was wounded four times at Sharpsburg, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg and Petersburg losing his arm in the last battle fought at Petersburg. When told that its amputation was inevitable lie said, "I am ready." No murmur or protest escaped bim after. He married again in 1804. His widow, tour sons and two daughters survive him.

Alter the war, Col. Reynolds returned to Aberdeen, aud Houston Reynolds again did a lucrative practice. He was elected, in ISM, State Reporter, and our 40th, 41st and 42ud Reports attest his efficiency and modesty. or was his usefulness limited to these fields for he with others gave us The Aberdeen Federal Court; Her Gordon House; The Canton, Aberdeen and Nasnville R.

A Rather Unfavorable Showing by The House Committee Appointed to Visit the Camps on the Golf and Ship Island Eailroad. Below we publish in full the report of the House Committee charged wiia the duty of in vesti eating; the condition of the con victs of the State: Tothk srutu or the House os kii-rkskn- TATI VES Your Committee, charred with tbe duty uf inves tigating the present management of the Penitentiary respectfully submit the followtug rei-urt Wc have earnestly endeavored to arrive at the truth as to the management, and treatment of convicts without prejudice, or partiality, and to this end have almost entirely coufinod our examination a class of witnesses reported lobe reliable.

Where witnesses, whose Barnes were turnt-nea us, were ascertained to be of doubtful veracity, wc have invariably rejected tlicm. Tliat Ihe investigstton has been impartial If evidenced by the number of officers aud employees the Guif and Ship Island Bailroad Company examined by its, whose testimony is herewith submit ted, We have been compelled, almost constantly gujrd against a tendency on the part of witnesses one side to smooth over or suppress facts, and the other side to exaggerate tliem. We hare nwst carefully endeavored to arrive at true state ot the caw as presented in this report, and as the resuit of our investigations we have arrived at aud report the followiog conclusions which we be lieve to lie fully sustained by the testimony accom panying this report, and made a pan oi it 1st. We submit that the leasing system under auy form, is wrong in principle and vicious. r.a- ucricrice teacttes us mat wueu unman moor is fanned out fur a consideration, uncontrolled by any iulcrest the contractor may have iu the wellare of he the lalorer is vsrv ant to lie worked with a view to the bigbeit possible gain to the etu-- when itieoower of the employer is absolute, as in the employment of convicts, it is almost certain to be abused iu that direction, so natural is this thirst ol gam even at tne price oi humanity, that the owners of ulaves were not always deterred Irom exactions, aud sometimes cruelties, which jeopardized the lives of their valuable human chattels.

The system of leasing convicts to individuals or aoriwrsitiuus to lie worked by them for profit, simply restores a state of servitude worse than slavery, in this that it is without anv of the safeguards result-lug from ownership of the slave. The good treatment of the convict must depend entirely upon the humanity of the person twho immediately controls him and we regret to say that tbe evidence taken us shews tha-. this sometimes affords but slight protection to convict labor in the handsof contractors. If the leasing system is objectionable, that of sitb-lcaiag is doubly so. The sub-lessee must pay his middle-man, tne original lessee a ceruuu p.

This profit is charged up to the lalior, and iscxaeted from it, in addit on to the profit the sub-lessee must make, of necessity then we for over-work, aud undue economy on the part of suli-lessees, and the testimony submitted shows that such expectation was realized. the treatment or convicts under sub-lessees we Bud to have been generally harsh, if not positively cruel, aud this is shown by tne evidence taken Dy the board of Control, a part of which is herewith submitted, by other evidence taken by the Com mittee anu ny viie icaritu mortiiiy ou vu- victs. which couliutied to swell tne aeatn-rate ion niony taken by the Board shows that several cou-vlcts were baaly froet-bituu, while under control ir. irt Johnston testihes that irosi on couiu hardly occur in this climate without umdu expes-itrM lino r- Jut). kLinc.

Thomas, Mr. Murlf, a member of this Mouse, and ol Vn.

Theavei age number of convicts for the years 1886 and 1887, was 738; of these, ti7 died in 188fi, showing death rate sf 9.08,'per een t. The ber of deaths in 1887 was IU, showing a death rate of 15.44 per cent.

To properly understand the significance of such a death rate, and its bearing on the treatment convicts, we refer to comparative tables of the death rate in our own and other State prisons furnished by Mr. Frank Johnston, at the request of the Committee, and testified by him to be authentic. We also call attention to a table, herewith submitted, showing the respective death rite of whits and colored convicts, respectively, from 1880 te 18H5. inclusive. We have not been able to fiad tke rates for 18b 6 and 1887, as the Superintendent's report is still in the hands of the printer.

This table shows the average death rate for six years among the negroes is more than double that of whites, and MviMta no anecial reason whr necross should die laater tuan wuxica, bisuiuk-v rt.mi-nt nit worse treatment suffered by thsm. It ie but just to tne lessees to stai mat, iney are not entirely responsible for this abnormal death rate. We have shown that the death rate of 1887 was ia a great measure due to anuses ny suu-iessees. narHamiiLrir bv McDonald. It is further in evi- dnpf hfnre us that many convicts were returned from county contractors (how they gut under them before conviction we do not understand) in very bad condition, and often incurably diseaseu ot testimonv of Mr.

I oar committeo karing demonstrated the evits oi tne leasing system, which they believe to oe innerem in it, ana tncnpaoio ot complete iim-ination therefrom, therefor rocommnd that tl eysiam be abandoned as soon ns practicabie. Eut now and wnere to abandon it is a eery grave queo- uw, uiu avnutiv moot uougDum n.

The Siaie is annually increasing ber debt, and is in no condition to assume new harden, unless thev are im peratively demanded.

nirinvasupauona show us that great improvement has resulted in the last tew months from the supervision exercised by tne Board of Control and Superintendent of the Penitentiary over tne convicts. This supervision is, of necessity, seaiewbat perfunctory, being restricted to occasional visits, the good alrvadr accomplished points out the proper remedy for much of the existing evils of leasing sratem. Yanr mmmittiw ihoiwfciM. recommend that the Board of Control should have appointment of all officials, medical or otherwise, charred with tbe personal management of convicts, and that they be paid out of the State ireasury, as suggested by the Board ol Control on page 13 ox tncir printed report. We submit that the State has no moral right to wnn the personal supervision and nianage- ineni oi us convicts, lor anv considVratlon.

wnat wc believe that proper exercise of such supervision by the tate will caue the abatement many of theevllsin the treatueat ot convicts existing. lour Committee submit that if the changes are made as sufeested herein, the fleet would be to changv, if not to abrogate, the prtwnt cou tract with oull and Ship island Kaiiroad tompany, but iu their opinion the State owes it to herself to provide, any aud all cost, for the humane treatment of her convicts, regardless of private interests. further submit, however, tbat if auy change is made, this Cetugtauy should have the privilege of employiug the able-bodied convict on its lino of road at reasonable rates, and in preference to others. road runs through a remarkably healthy mc- non, aud its completion would vaxtly teuent a lance twrtof our Mate and if a part of the convicts ntiNt be worked by cooli biota wms inevitwbl, there no sound reason why they should not be employed on this road provided satiMactory ar-ranin-wents can lie made to that cad. 4th.

i our Committee further recommend that to end that the leasiiiK system may he finally alttiidoned, sufficient land le purchased at some suitable location upon which temporary acewmmo ions be erected and that such prisoners as are unfit for heavy work on railroads and vces, or others as' the Board of Control deem necessary em ploved hereon iu auricu lturl work and other kind nil industries, and other work lookiug to erection oi a suitable prison built uu mouern sanitary dth. lonr committee rucoiuuieud and adopt section 5th of the Board of Control, and i-ontaiuod pajjcliiof their printed report as follows: "lhcre Should lie provided at the walls, Mich facilities ior manufacturing, cabinet-making, smithing, wagon mukliir. i'flrrjnlprinff. hoemakins. tailoriDiz.

Ia this war an opportunity would given a prisoner to learn a trade by which he would be useful to himself, and ts a citizen after term of service expires, aud teud to prevent those most liable to escape from doing so. Convicts serving loiig sentences, should under no circumstances, be worked outside tbe walls if the Mate ex pects tv enforce the penalties imposed.

6th. Your Committee lurther com mend certain repairs in the Penitentiary buildings as necessary the health aud comfort of the inmates, aud to the preservation of valuable properly, and recommend an appropriation, not to exceed $3,500, be made mat purpose. 7th. ourconimittee submit that the amendment the Code of 388U, which raises the measure of grand larceny to stolen property of the value of twenty-fire dollars and which bas passed both Houses of the Legislature, oilers a solution in part, tbe convict problem, as it will materially lessen number of prisoueis sent to the Penitentiary in lu tu re. The la rge ber of con icts confined renders the task of properly supervising and protecting them a very difficult and any considerable decrease in their niimbei consistent with equity aud the public good is to be desired.

We therefore lecommeud that the Board of Control be authorized in the event said act Ivecomes a to ascertain what convicts are now serving out rui for larceny of property under the value of twenty five dollars, and who have at the time of passage of said act served year of their ec live terms, and to pi exeat the names of such convicts to the (Governor with a request that he do pardon them. 8th. Your committee further submit that in as as the eud of punishment for crime is to prevent its repetition, and to reform if possible, the criminal, we therefore recommend that some inducement to good behavior ou the part of convicts grafted on our prison system, aud that a rate of commutation of tbe Sentence dependent upon good coLduct, tbe rate to be fixed by law, whereby the of imprisonment may be shortened should be devised. Such a system bas been successfully tried other and we earnestly suggest its adoption in this. 0th.

Your committee invited attention to the long terms of imprisonment imposed in this State, as compared with those imposed for like offenses in others, as shown by a table of statistics furnished Mr. Frank Johnston. It will be also observed boys are serving out severe sentences, whose would suggest the need of a reformatory for juvenile offenders.
