Owing to the rapid increase in the mails and the e6tabliebient of many new Post Ottlices throughout the country, this Demarlmenl finds it necessary, in order to facilitate the distribution and to secure tP1 speedy transmission of the heavy mails now passing, particularly over the trani lines of Railroads, to request of the public, that in all caeca the name of the COUNTY, as well ai the POST Office and STATE, be superscribed upon letters, circulars, newspapers, and other matter to be forwarded by mail. Postmasters will place this circular in a conspicuous place in their offices and use every endeavor to urge upon the public the importance ef this matter . J. A- J. Creswell, t. M. Gen. Washington D. C. Feb. 1, 1872. Gen. Thomas M. Browne. We are Borry to notice that some of those whom we regard as our best citizens christians, have adopted the sentiment that 'once a sinner, always a sinner," and bence their mission and that of the Master, is a complete fail, ure. We allude to the utterances of some of our citizens at a temperance meeting on last Friday night week, in this city, where it is published that "the speakers openly repudiated the nomination of Tom Browne as an insult to the temperance people." The Rev. T. A. Goodwin, editor of the Indianapolis American, has this to say cf our candidate for Governor, to which we ask the candid attention of our readers: "With too many of the very best of our army officers Gen. Browne found, at the close of the war, that the habit ot using intozicat ing liquors bad crown upon him to ac alarming extent : but, with a resolution and firmness no! often equalled he threw off the toils ot his enemy and rosa above the fate of hundreds of the ti.eu who were brave in battle but feeble against their greater foo. Gen. Browne is and has been for j ears a strictly sober man, unless those who ought to know him intimately are deceived. He is wanting in none of the elements of a popular candidate, or a good Governor. If any Republican can be elected Governor this year, Gen. Browne can." We see it positively denied that Bowen. the editor of the New York Independent, ever had a conver sation with Sumner in regard to Gen. Grant, and that Mr Sumner ever said that he 'could not sup port a party that would sustaiu such a man. , . Geo. W. Julian was a candidate for President before the Column bus Labor Reform Convention last week. Temncranee convention on

l'nAVKit Lake. -We ask the reader's attention to the article ou our first page headed 'Beaver Lake Lands,' to Letters from Judge TfisT, and Gov. Bakkb, which clearly vindicates the Member of Congress from this District, lien. J. M. Wilson, from the base and unfounded charge made ag'-inat him of being engnged in a -land swindle.' This charge appeared in the Indianapolis Journal, and was gobbled up by the amateur editor ol the Independent of this city, with all the variations so ratural

to an instrument so much tune as it has been ever ten of liar, cr a Bur t-m. out ol 6ince a fell on ti-a in Franklin county and crushed the political lifo cut of him! The Journal ptomptiy made a correction and set Judge Wilson tiht on the record. Not to, however, did this Swift. witness he reiterated the slander, and testified as to its truth in his last paper, after we had called his attention to it, and a kad aim to do the Julge justice by retrncting the charge. We again refer him to the evidence on our Grst page of Judge Wilson's uaspoitci record in this matter, and ask him to publish it in the Independent and thus make the retraction as broad as he did the charge. Will he do it? We also ask the Ridical to make the same retraction, as it copied the Independent's article. C. F. Coffin's Letters. Frciwk Prisons. Correspondence of InJiauapulis Journal. Pari, January 15, 1872. ArruUt ull the interests of this greet tit v, wo have devoted one day to its piiscn9. In company with a lady from Cincinnati, who speaks French fluently, and kindly consented to act as an interpreter, we called on Victor Bournot, a gentleman of great benevolence and refinement, who fnterests himself especially in reformatories and piisons. who kindly undertook to accompany us, and to procure the necessary orders for an admission (which are very difficult to obtain, especially since the recent civil com motion i). After some delay and difficulty in obtaining the orders, we proceeded first to the Concierge,' o&e of those old buildings erected several centuries since and finished in fine style externally, a portion of which was destroyed by the Communists in the recent civil war, but the prison portion remains uninjured. It is now used as a place for the temporary confinement of untried persons. We were ehown the room in which Marie Antoinette was confined, and from which she wa3 led to trial in an upper room of the same building and after wards to execution. The cruciGx which she kissed before going out .to execution is still preserved, and the spot is shown where her bed stood, and also that to which she retired to dress for the execution, cut of sight ot her guards. The large room was also shown to us where 'Girondists' were confined, ami from which they were daily called out to execution a scene us expressively shown in one of the finest pictures in the Luxembourg also the room where Robespierre wss confined previous to bis exes I ution. While the venerable old building has but little of present Interest as a prison, it is full of historic interest, and awakened reelings of sadness as it recalled i o forcibly the bloodly scenes of i he past. From it we went to the Honce of . 'orrecion-La Sante. There are lirce classes of criminals on whom sentence haj been passed in this i ountry: 1st, Those confined for light violations of the law, not xactly criminal, and yet subject 3gthem to a few days imprisonment; these are sentenced by the Tribunal of Simple Justice,' in Inch there is but one Judge. 2. Those who are tried by a jury, and sentenced by a court Laving three judges, for serious j ffenses; the sentenses being for from eight days to five years, and In some instances, for second or 1 bird offen' es, even longer. 3. Those sentenced for the ''orst crimes; for from five years h life imprisonment, or for wilful j mrder to death. These dtfTt-rcnt classes or pris oners are usually sunt to different f risons, but in some instances the iirst and second are confined in the i ame building. The prison 'La ante' is intended especially for - he second class, but has some of he first. It has l.COO cells, 830 of , rhich were occupied. The absolute cellular system, where the prisoners are kept in separate cells by night and day, and taken out one hour each day for exercise in separate yards, and not brought out at all in contact with other prisoners, is here carried out with about onebalfof the prisoners. It is the Philadelphia system somewhat modified. Another part of the prisoners are employed in tho day work in congregate companies, and lodged in separate cells at night. The prison building is very substantial and well constructed, on the model of many English and American prisons. It is kept at an even temperature by immense boi'.ers in the basement, which are also connected with the ventilating arra jgements, so as to keep up a constant supply of fresh uir throughout the building. The cells are large, well lighted, and iurnisbed wi.h a small bed and a few other articles. The whole building is kept perfectly clean and in excclent order. The pris

oners are fed in their cells twice a day, 'z : at 8am. with soup and bread; and t 3 p m , wi h vegetables and tread, five times a week, and meat and bread twice. The quantity of bread is sufficient and quality good. Excellent bathing arrangements are provided and used ircqucn'ly. The prison dress is of one kind of goods, but no stripes or uupleascnt uniform is used. Toe punishment is confinement in a cell, riatk cr neaily so, cn bread and water, lessening of privilege, &c , at tho option of the 'Director.' Thela3h is in no instance allowed to be usee. The labor of the convicts is let to contractorsone half of the proceeds is paid to the convicts. Tbe:r earnings are very smab, and meet but a small part of the expense. (We were ijfornied that there are o,00O prisoners in Paris The total e xpense of the prisons is 1.7UO.000 races, and the earnings of the prisoners, 120.( 00 francs ) The prison is presided over by a Di

wen qualified man, anu oas uruier him foity four othtr fliceis. besides some employes. Tbrec Chap laing are employed, A Catholic priest who has charge of the relig ious interest of a large majoriiy of the convicts, and who resides cn he premise?; a Protestant minister, who has about fifteen, and a Jewish Rabbi who has one so'i ary i hearer. Each of these classes have separate chapels. There i is no literary institution, but a library belongs to the prison, ml each prisoner is furnished with books if desired. We observed that such writers as Voltaire made up r large part of the library, but were glad to see one copy of the Bible in that vast prison. Most of the convicts are on Bhort f entente. Many of them being from the class we should call 'loafers,' who live half their time in prison, and enter it (or the twenty-fifth time with as much carelessness as if they had arrived at home. Among thu cUts was one black man; supposing him to be a fellow-citizen, I called him out and epoke to him, but was glad to find ho was from Dcmarara, and could speuk no Eaolish. We never saw in any land a prison more perfect in all its arrangements, or more carefully and neatly kept, but we could not learn that there was anything of reformatory chui acter connected with it; but our want of knowledge of the language prevented us from learning much on this point. Tho gentleman who accompanied us has veiy correct ideas in reference to criminals and prisons, and hopes to see some more efficient reformatory system adopted. He is President of a society which takes the boys from tho prisons ana finds homes for them and exercises a paternal care over them. We next called for a short time at the 'Mazas,' a depot for 'the ac cused.' cr untried prisoners, having 1164 within its walls. It is also well constructed and well kept. The building is lara;e and has every convenience. Its Director was, himself, a prisoner for sixty-eight days, during the time the Ccmraune held this part of the city end we were shown the cell where Archbishop Darboy was confined for six weeks. It was a simple criminal's cell with co other comforts 'ban such as are allotcd to common criminals. From thence we drove to the 'Depot des Coudamnes' (or Laroquette) a large prison, unusually strong, for the worst grade of criminals, es -pecially for those condemned to execution, of which there were several awaiting their time. Executions are still bv the guillotine. which is erected in front of the prison, open to public view. It was too late in the day to see much of this prison, but we were taken through its gloomy corridors and shown the cell from which the Archbishop and five companions were taken last May into the yard and shot by six squads of eleven soldiers each. We followed the steps of the party in their solemn march from the cells through the corridors, down the narrow wind- f in at atnira Mit intrt llm ni?t ! where the Archbishop r kneeled down and pronounced a benediction cpon his executioners to the place where they were first taken for execution, but from which they were transferred to prevent persons from opposite windows witnessing the scene, to a private part of the yard, where ten balls were fired at each The walls still show the marks of the bullets and a marble slab commemorates the names of the martyrs. It was a sad scene and brought vividly before us the terrors of the unrestrained passion of men. We ha l seen in the House of Correction a largo number of wounded Communists who are awaiting the healing of their wounds for further disposition. One, a captain, said to have been unusually severe, was wounded in the chest and evident ly was not likely to recover. He looked sad but determined, ai if meeting bravelv his expected fate. His companions were not a bad looking set of men, some of them very young, mero uoys. xne day has been one of intense interest to us, and its events will not soon be obliterated from our memory. C. F. C. ITALIAN PRISONS. Correspondence Indianapolis Journal. Venice, January 24. I last wrote to you from Paris in n ference to Freccb prisons. Our travels have brought us to this peculiar, quaint old city. Everything about it gives evi dence of past greatness and present pov erty. The old maostons of its former wealthy citizens look decayed and worn. and the present inhabitants show a want of energy rnd improvement, as if the life of the city was gone. We have visited to-day many of its places of inter est, amongst others the old palace of the Doges, where we were shown the "lion's mouth," in which the name ef any bds1 ... - peciea cunsn was piacea, written on a piece of psper. Tun simple information,

from an unknown informant, was sufficiint to bring the accused befora the judges and causa him to be thrust into j rison, from whence there wss no release exco, t upon proof of innocence. We were taken into the prison (yet standing) across tho "bridge -of sighs," (immortalized by liyron) which connects the prison with the palaco, and shown the door through which the condemned was taken, the narrow way across tho bridge by which those thus sentenced passed out but never returned, the gloomy, close passage to the dungeon in which they were confined. It was a small room, thoroughly secure, lined with heavy board, with a platform of boards, upon wh eh the person confined conld lie down, and no light was admitted; an orifice in the wall serving w pass through food. It would be impossible to imagine a more fearful and gloomy place, and one would suppose taat a few days incarceration would have rendered the services of a.i executioner unnecessary Wuhin a few feet of the-entranca of the cell a p'aca of execution was shown, whete th-i poor pnanner was strangled by machinery adapted to the purpose, and the bo'iy cirried out through an adjoinicg di r to a small boat, which conveyed it out to sea, where it was sunk in deep water Nothing I have ever seen sj impressed ma with the advance of enlightenment and intelligence amongst men as the change which has been brought about in our civilized countries in the treatment of accused persons, both as to trial and subsequent punishment. Whilst we may regret that so much yet remains to Le done before we have adop ted the Lett method of dealing with violation of he laws, we certainly have much cause to feel encouraged at the ad vance already made and to press on to greater improvement. We find a very liberal and enlightened government existing in Italy, and in many places evidences of a prosperous p3op'e. We have been agreeably dU appointed in Italians. They have an excellent school system, frj; from the priesthood, and allow entire freedom of the press and of conscience, as well as full equity to all pro'essions of religion. I hope to be able soon to write more fully as to the prison system 0. F. C

For the Palladium. IsoiASAroLis, Isd., Feb , 2372 Affinitizing with you and Capt Crocker, in the liberal idea that it is wrong to go to a respectable plnco of public amusement more ihan six nights in the week, I dropped into the Academy of Mu sic last evening to witness the per formance ot tbe Ucrivelled Royal Yeddo Japanese Troupe. It would take a better quill driver than I am, to give the vivid pen description they merit ; their ease, dexterity, boldness, and sudden results are truly wonderful. The troupe consists of Prof. Gangero, two men, two women, and three boys, the latter from seven . to twelve years ob.1. Not being a reader cf Mrs. Demorest's Japanese Book of Fashion, I am unable to describe their dress, which may be said to be all gowny, and it is only from your guessing at the announcements or tbe programme that you can ome to any conclusion, which of the party would be entitled to the right of suffrage as it now exists. Their complexion i3 something of a mulatto by moonlight, their hair is tied up short in such a manner as to show white streaks where the scalp looks like gravelled walks in a cemetery, going round and round leading no where in particular. Tlie pro gramme lea on wita swora ju r'inor p.nil bnw thnsn lnnc lnstru - - O inents managed to keep clear of each other in their journey from hand to hand in the air, would dis tract a train-dispatcher to describe ; after balancing a bamboo cane twenty feet long on his forehead, he shot with a bow and arrow three balanced swords from the top of it, and caught them by their handles as the points came lalliner as it were direct into his face. The terrific walk barefoot up a ladder of swords sharp as razors, ma le the blood to curdle ; before placing each sword in its place as a round to tbe ladder, the heathen' cut a thect of paper into small s' rips with each sword, one at a tima to show that it bad an edge when the swords were all placed edge up, he exhibited the naked eoles of hU feet, to show there was no protection, and taking that everlasting fad in one hand he stepped with one foot slowly upon the sharp edge of the lower sword and balanced himself for a moment, then placed the other foot on the mxt sword, holding the sole ot the first foot up to view no eign of a cut or blood thus step by step be slowly ascended the ladder, to the top ; the swords were then taken out and distributed among the astonished spectators that they might see their reality. Tbe most wonder! ul trick, as it seemed to me, was one by Miss or Mr. Yannanewah, dressed in the heieht of Japanese fashion, she appeared kneelintr upon a raised pl-attorm, and after mannpulating a while with some white tissue paper, she commenced tanning a Bmall butterfly, holding an open fan in each hand, she made the insect travel frcm point to point of one fan, cow receeding', now approaching, now upward, now downward, as the butterfly is often seen doing keeping up the fanning with her right hand the butterfly would go away from her and then return low lly up in the air, and then return low fly up in the air, and then come back to her then suddenly another butterfly appeared above the fan, and the two winged insects chased each other thro' tue air, now up, now down; now .away, than back; the performer still keeping her fan in motion - held a bouquet of flowers in her left band, and tho two insects had a merry sport in and among the flowersnow flying, then resting the deception was most complete. Suddenly tue performer crushed the insects in her hand, and throwing them suddenly away they tell to the floor a handful of line cut paper. The Marvellous Bottle and the Box completed the entertainment. The box, about six inches square, appeared to follow every motion and bidding of the performer's hand, without his apparently

touching it -and a bottle would stand in any and every position, merely from tho shake of bis head independent of any applied force where the power, or tbe directing influence camo from, no one could see. Every performance was in Itself new. strange and wonderful, their feats of contortion, difficult balancing, and intrepid exposures to danger keep you in one strain of ex.-itraetit. Not being of tbe Press, I was requested to contribute tho full amount for the possession of a ticket f hence, you see I have no peciat in t ere. t in locating the mat ter, and can freely advise you, that if they come where you are, and offered you a chalked hat, go, it will pay. The Republican Convention is over, and the delegates have returned to their beloved tomes, conscious of having saved their country rejoicing that they have done the thing up Brown. I hear that you were around among the bie guns, but not recognizing your name among those nominated I inferr'd that your time had not yet come, or that your modesty bespoke your merit. Linn C.

C oming to the Sort ace. Editob Palladium : As you are the only editor in this city who sustains Judge Wilson, our worthy M C, 1 take the liberty o( sajiog a few words as to what I know of the case and what I think of the results. That "Mr. Wilson is an honorable gentle man and the retr of any man in Congress, j as an alio and high'y respectable JudgeMs fully verified by the fact that be is a member of tho Judiciary Committee in the House a position which of itself gives credit and character to the man, and involving an amount of labor that only superior minds can accomplish and Mr. Surface also admits it together with other good traits -And at ouce assures us that we are foitunately represented except in a physical defect which disqualifies him from hunting up the stray sheep of the fold and preventing abreak orer the bars," when a wolf essays to enter, in which case the merit of being a good man and "the peer of any man in Congress" is subject to bi set aside, and a shepherd secured to look after the interest of the wolves perhaps. That Jerry Wilson has tailed to do his duty to his constituent! generally, is not asserted ; but he failed to comply with the wishes of three or four aspirants for officeyet competent persons obtained tbe effice, who are not personally offensive or politically hostile to the party, and why should they .disrupt it or disturb its harmonious action, when any measure is to be accomplished in which tbe publ'c are interested? J That Judge Wilson is devoting h;mse!f to the best interests of the government, as industriously as any other member of Congress, cannot be denied and tbat our state will secure through him what is claimed of tbe government, e have no reason to doubt, and that the claims of the hundreds of soldiers, for bounty and back pay ac 1 of widows and Orphans for claims of like character pension claims, tc-, involving ere at labor aud research, and correspondence with obscure people without influence whose sacrifices are larely appreciated, except by the benevolent niind3 ol just such men as Jerry Wil son, who hare it in their power to render .j service in such cases ; a duty this government can scarcely repay justice ti the maimed and careworn soldier, the destitute widows and orphans, made so in defense of this country, and the maintainanee of the R-publican parly, is never lust sight of br our worthy representative ; even though he neglects I) respond to the numerous appeals for political effect, or personal consideration, for want tim3 ; all this j our correspondent is knowing to, and time will develops the fa.t to the people of the ih District whether the inferiority Mr. Surface rafen to will be lost to memory. The truth is Mr.S overlooks high moral and intellectual qualities, contrary to his oivn requirements of a public scrrant, for teasons whieh bew. uld condemn in others, and it is by no meanse certain he will not yet revoke what he ha said when he re fleets on the injustice and inconsistency of his course. Since be is by no means certain tbat adverse results may not leave ns to mourn orer a horse swap, in the middle of a stream that is running rapidly agaimt us. We certainly do not wish to exchange Jerry Wilson for a cbarlatftn.or a demagogue and: if the best Republican who baa been named as bis successor could by any possible strategy succeed, there isnoannarent , -- - . r , superiority in any one of them, and the knees ; of the unfortunate nouinee will doubilcs3 Cive wsy before the race with U..odinjr is ! ended, if a change is made by the Republican j Elder Howe, delivered a dis course, on Monday night last, on the subject oi spiritualism, and was replied to by Moses Hull a well posted spiritualist. Lyceum Hall was crowded. One incident was related by Elder Howe in his address, in regard to the evil spirits, after having been ejected, taking refuge ia the herd of swine, and the animals rushing down into tue sen and drowning, that reminds us of a similar sad fate that has overtaken Swift, of the Independent, for certainly he never would have run down a steep place in Beavei Lake" and got drowned, had not an evil spirit entered him! Had Germany actually complained o' our Government for selling some of iu superfluous muskets during the FisncoPrussian war, we can readily enough conceive that Cabi, Scmrnz whom we know would side with his native country against that to which ha has last sworn allegiance. But that Schubs should seek to make a case against his adopted country, when the Emperor of Germany, fully cognizant of all that was done, was. perfectly content that Schubz, after brooding over the matter for many months, should select the very momont for springing his mine when it would most tend to damage cs abroad with the San Juan boundary question to be decided t? the Emperor of Germany, and the Geneva Conference about to arbitrate the Alabama claims was more than vre could have believed. It proves that Cabl Schubz is at heait a traitor to the American Government. If. O. says conventions only p t up a guiae ojara, wool i auectiois you are at peneet tibeity M consult or ignore, bead or diar gard.' precisely so. You caa take the Republican road,or the Democratic one, or cut across lota without re if art to ei'.ber, just as you please. Bat it is a curio as fact, as Senator Mobton observes, that all paths leading out of the Repu blicao road lead into the Demacratic highway. We think H. lO. will 'need' the Repu lican guide-board.

Doaatioa and Social Be-on ion. If ever there was a Pastor in our city, who has labored unselfishly for the geueral good of his fellowcitizens, in every way, that man is Rev. J V R Miller . We have incidently learned that his many friends in Richmond and vicirity, purpose, in tbe course of the next ten or fifteen days to get up donation and social rc-union for the ben ef t of himself and family This is a good and just movement and we trust all bis numerous friends will esteem it a duty to contribute liberally to this object make him and his estmiable family have cause to say that it was a temporal good for them to be here, as all C3n heartily approbate the earnest zeal and efficient pastoral labor Ero. M has been assiduously engaged in for .the past three years. Let all do something every little helps. We trust that this reunion will be an affair every way worthy of our place and the occasion.

Ex Senator Yates, of Illinois, is lej orted in a dying condition another victim to tbe demon of in teaijerance. Never was there a life so bl ight, so full of promise i ow departing in the densest gloom. Tub House took the right step toward Hevenue Reform last week, by voting to repeal the duty on tea and coffee. The Senate should promptly concur. This will reduce the customs revenue just about as desired, removes the tax(all paid by the consumer, tea and coffee being non-competing articles) from necessities osthepeop'e, instead of bom the luxuries of the rich as the Free-Traders propose, and will give general satisfact:on to the country. It passed tbe House by an overwhelming majority, and the Sena.c has so dec ded an AntUFree Trade majority tbat we may reasonably expect this popular measure will speedily become a law. A temperance meecing was held at the Baptist Church, Eight street, last Tuesday night. A third party movement was advocated by seveial perso' s- a'l Kepublicans. The Deniocatic lic-rald ana the whisky ring are happy, and encourage the movement lor they well know tbat if it succeeds the reins of government will return to the party which has ever upheld all the whisky rin&s in the country, sod has nurtured every national villainy from ilavsry to tCukluzism. Telegram Possiblt the editor of the Indiannpolis Evening Journal"' means to be sarcastic when he says: "The d'guity of the law rou3t be preserved. A few days after the acquittal of Bright, the Criminal Court sent a poor devil to the penitentiary for two years, on a charge of stealing a six do.Var overcoat." The Winchester "Journal" puts it thusly : The 4 Pan Handle" road is not very popular nith Richmond folks?, but it controls every road leading into that city, and now they want to build another to be swallowed up by that gigantic monopoly. 'I he scheme is t build a road irtim Richmond to Union City, to be operated by the 'Boe Line." iut the Pan Handle is sure to get control of it, if built, us tbey are detertriscd to have rdl the roads uejtering at Richmond.

Tbe State and Presidential Campaigns ot 1872 will be tbe most important, in many respects, in which the two great political arties now in existence have ever been-enjaged. Tbe Democracy are making insidious efforts to obtaia the control of the National Govern ment, and it is essential that the people be kept thoroughly apprised of their morementa, as well as ot the claims of the Republican party to a continuai.ee of the confidence which has been reposed iu it for tbe laat twelve years. la the St&ta tbe issues will be very important t they will comprise the questions of political honesty and ecqiomie government ; whether public servants can protituta tbe public funds to their own private use, thus corrupting the service, and making nut of tbe State offices mere places of pelf for plunderers. The people will be celled upon to decide whether the crimes and blunders of the Democratic party ahall be fastened upon the State for another term.
