, For Congress, , Hon. Jerre. M. Wilson, Fourth District. , .

: ne iunc pleasure m ajjam nn

nonncing oar present Member of Congress, Hon. Jeremiah M. Wilson, as a candidate for the nomination and election to the post he now to ably n nd worthily fills. His "political soundness" is unquestioned, and the acknowledgment, that, "as an honorable t.nl amiable gentleman he is the peer of the best men in the halls of Congress," forced from those who would, to aid in slaughtering him, gladly say the reverse, if they could with truth do so, is the highest compliment that could be paid . him, and a large and overwhelming majority of the Republican Party, of the Fourth Congressional District, are prepared to endorse it by again renominating him as their standard-bearer.

' XT'Several articles in tvpc for

this issue, are crowded out among them a note from II. IT. Swift, ecU itor of the Independent, denying the charge mado of his efforts to re-occupy the little offlco of Assessor of Franklin co.. in place of the maimed soldier, Burton; that, and our comments are postponed until next week. 3T There's a slight war-cloud looming up between John Bull and Uncle Sam, on the Alabama claims. It may all blow over; but Min:ster Schenck has been instructed by our Goveanment, not to recede from our just demands.

Judge Wilsou Telegram X, Y, &c.

It Siems to us, that the course of the

dilor of the Telegram, towards Judge Wil

son, is not only remarkable, bat w anting in

consideration and in fairness. That editor

has a perfect right to oppose the re-nomi

nation of Mr. W. and, if he Aaowi anything

against lam that is disreputable in any way

and that would unfit him to be a ' leader" of

the party, and a representative of the peo ple,it is his boundendnty as a f.iithful sen'

tinelandasan honest journalist, to publish

the fact; and thus sare the party from making a discreditable selection that might

result in defeat, or, which is qulle as bad.

being mis-rep resected in Cong res s. All i his is the Telegram editor's clear, undoubted right. This manly course he h is not pur

sued, and, from the programme marked out,

it is not at all likely that he will adopt it. In his leader of last F riday, he ! ands Judge Wilson, for high political an J judicial attainments and for his uprightness and purity of character as a man he asserts that a more intimate acquaintance with the JiHe, has but confirmed Ah opinion he had entertained : of him as a stranger; and, thereupon, he de dares, in the frame paragraph, that our present member of Cougxess; is (he peer of the best man in Congress. One would naturally conclude, that a man thus eulogised as possessing capacity, honesty, and faithfu'ness, was the very man above all otbei s, that should occupy the responsible , post of a repres;ptative of the people, and especially of the Republican Party. But as theseqiel of that article shows, &a sort . of a man does not suit the editor of the Telegram, lie does not exactly portry the kind

of a "nondescript" he wants for a "leader;'

but wepresi-me that one whi is an adroit,

politician one who has the wisdom t a

serpent, minns the barraleSsness of the dove

one who is up to "finesse" (we believe

it's called,) one who,(so graphicl'y described

in a tnemorablo campaign song,) can "

"Wire in and wire out You cannot tell, when on the track. If bs's going on or coming back"! Would suit this extremely fastidious editor toagnat's eye-brow! He complains, however, that Judge Wilson, has greatly disppointed hiin, from the fact that he supporter him at the last election, in preference to Mr. Ju'ian.becauas of his belief that the selection of the former would harmonise the Republican Party in the District more than the latter. The editor has tried Judge W- .sos, a nd he has sigaally failed in meeting his fond hopes and expectations; Aniline? who would sow the

seed o: tho 'Canada Thistle over his farm, and then complain of the preva'.enec of this pest, would act quite as wisely as has 'our - neighbor of tho Telegram. He permits his columns to be used by 'X' an l other-irresponsible correspondents , to malign ani abuse Judge Wilsou.by the meanest of all insinuations against him as an untruthful man,

faithless, vacillating, unreliable, Ac. He suffers thase assassin of privata character, under tie cover of 'it ii rin g ,'" lo Inject their poison into" commun't through-the Telegram an I after he tbinki th! virus has done its work, he complains that Judge Wilson has ailed to product jUmosy; when the editor himself has done everything in his power to bring about the very thing he complains of! .i . r But enough. We take the liberty, in conclusion, of calling the attention of our readera to the remarks of our correspondents, "Y" on oar first page, and "People," in another column of to-day's Palladium, touching the

subject of the disaffection existing in the fourth Congressional District o( Richmond, , towards Judge .Wilson. Of course, we are., not responsible for any "edging" that "Y", ( . aud "People," insert in their articles it is to the facts and tbtths therein stated, ' that we invite a candid consideration Of the ' pub- . ' lie and, as we hope the Telegram and Inde-. . . . pendent, no less than ourself . have the success of the party at heart, at. the next election we appeal to the editors of both these papers, to their sense of justice and ' fsir play to give their readers the ben- ' , , eJU of "tother aide of tho picture" in the , matr of Judge Wilson's unpardonable tins, ! on which those two "Independent" jounals bare arraigned him, to the end that tho people the vesttabW people may have all - the facts is the case. ' Listen to all sides, is the , onlj ss's meaps of arriving at (rath.''

Highly as we regard Judge Wilson, and sincerely aswe belts him honest, able, and eminently At to, represent oar District in Congress, give ns reasonable evidence that ho has In any conceivable - way,' forfeited the respect and : confidence of the people, or that his reaomination would jeopardise the Republican Ticket, and we will abandon his cause. Till this is done, we must be excused for exercising a liberty that we fully accord to others, and defeoJ him from unmerited attacks. ... We have no desire ,t control the choice of either the Telegram or of the Independcntibut against the cold-blooded crucifixion of Jeremiah, threatened by these two papers, we enter our solemn protest, and, in the "exchange of obseivatioEs". now taking place, the Public can see that the merits of tba question are not all on . one side. And, further, if the Judge is to bo slaughtered, of . which we can see not the remotest necessity, we are determined that bis few disappointed opponents in Richmond, shall not sail under a fait flag; but we will lend a helping and a willing hand to expose some" of ti e sere places, and let the people see some of the real, ditinterttted grounds of opposition, and we submit that, if Congressional nominations must take their cue from individual bias caused by personal disappointment solely, we may ss well give up the contest ad- : vaace. : " "TiHI. i M . . !

York, January 6, 1S71. ; Correspondence ot the Indianapolis Journal. Since my last on English prisons we have been traveling extensively in England, and have been greatly interested na well as fully occupied. From this old city, dat ing back to nearly one hundred years before Christ, and full of interesting remains, having n part of its old walls still preserved, and a cathedral (or Minster) of great an tiquity and splendor, I shall attempt to give you some farther report; first of the 'Convict Prisons' (for prisoners of five years and longer ) To save the time and tedious uniformity of visiting so many differeut institutions of the same kind we selected the representative prisons, and gave them a careful examination. The first of these was Hentonville.ortho 'Mod el Prison, as it is called in London. It is the prison to which, convicts are first sent, and where ail remain for nine months at least:

It is a fine substantial building,

admirably arranged, and had with in its walls 890 convicts. These

are all confined in separate- cells, except that they are taken out one hour each day for exercise In the yard, and one hour each week to

school.acdto the babbath services

With these exceptions, they only see their officers. Each cell ha a supply of school books, slate and

pencil,' and a bible, prayer book, and some other religious works:

and for good conduct they are entitled to some books of a general character. Five school masters are engaged in teaching them in their cells'an hour each day, and a chaplain-and a priest administer to their spiritual wants. They arc emplored at mat making, weaving and shocmaking, and are so tasked as to make it hard labor, except a few who are used in the domestic department. Everything about the institution is neat and clean, and the most rigid order and discip'inc prevail. The Governor li.'es ia an adjoining house and aclsas the commander of an army.

The deputy or warden who accom pauicd us was cry kind and obliging; but there i3 a sombre, solemn quiet which prcvades the whole institution, " and strikes one with awe on . entering, and apparantly an air of cold authority and stern, rigid discipline characterizing the government. We could see but little to soften and reform the men, but rather an apparant want of sympatic '.'and kindness. After nine months if their conduct has been good, the convicts are remov ed to other prisons where they work congregate companies. The presence of lady visitors seemed to surprise the officers, but we

gatts The internal management "is wholly committed to women.and Well tney do their dut3'. The gov .'ernesa, Mrs. Gibson; is an cstirca ,-ble christian lady who has been in "the position fourteen years,and who .seems in every way qualified for the duties devolving upon her, which arc not light, ihe manfcge- - nicot of LLe utder officers requir. iug'asmuch executive ability as that of the prisoners The prisoner? ;; are employed in washing, baking, laurdry work, making and mending clothes ' for themsel es and the. men prisoners, knitting . and mosaic work. They arc able to pay a larger proportion of the cost than most men prisoners in this " country. They arc divided iulo classes and promoted for good conduct, and the time of i ti prison -mi nt lessened us with the , mn, thirteen months in five years. Nj provision is made for ihem when released except by voluntary associations and Christian ladies who undertake it from .a sense of duty Oneof these, Mrs. Meredith, has opened in London a laundry, and gives employment to many discharged prisoners, assisting them also in finding a home. The necessities of the prisoners appeared to le well attended to, their cells being well provided with light, air, bedding, etc , and much pains is taken with their religious and literary instruction. .. ' . . The Chaplain is a devoted chriss linn gentleman who has confidence in the ability to reform many of the prisoners, aud has been instrumental iu awaking some to religious iifC.j - ; - The Governess informed us that fiity-one per cent of the convicts arc from what is called in this country the 'criminal' classes," that is,pe: sons who have had criminal parents and have been them-

si'l'.-es from earliest life trained to cime. These, a3 maj' be imagined, it is exceedingly difficult to relrom; since a total change in habits and ideas is necessary before . liuy become honest and useful cit11s. The remaining prisoners a-o n any of them servants : who have been tcmptcu to acts of, dishonesty, a very large proportion of whom she considers . suscepti

ble of reformation. We saw much to commend about the prison and its management and but little to condemn indeed it seemed to us that its able head was doing all that was in her; power to reform those committed to her care. We were glad to see another il'ustra ' t'on of the capability of women to conduct in every respect, a large institution and to make it as suecessful as the means within their reach will allow. We returued to our lodging in the evening, fatij ucd in body but glad to have found so excellent uu inslitulion , C. F. C.

& But we are moderately penetrated wi'.b disgust, at the suggestion, that Jmlge Wilson should be set aside, simpl to gratify the personal -spleen of less than a bakur'a hall dozen disaffected, reappointed, 1 complainants, and when so far aa we hare yirt learned the peoplethe honest masses of. tho party are reasonably satisfied with Judge Wilson, and when they hare no sympathy .whaterer with the failure of a few disgusted patriots, to grind an axe I That's how we look at it. Xow, Mr. Editor, if we hare ,no indulged in ton"malignant personalities." will yon .plcaso type these few "crude and undigested" remarks of PEOPLE.

Resolved, That as it is the avowed intention of those who traffic in alcoholic drinks to break down the Sabbath laws and desecrate that day of sacred rest; wo would earnestly call upon all christian professors to throw their influence and example in favor of our enterprise, because we believe they owe a duty to God and their lellow men, to show their true position on this important subject.

wi rtesoivea,! dat while we regard the Christian church and ministry as especially cal'ed upon to lead in this great temperance reform, we would cordiallv

welcome to our broad platform, and recoguize as co laborers, all who are interested in this canse, for without Ihe earnest, devoted, and persistent efforts of

temperance men and women, whether in

the pulpit, on the platform, or in doms

iciliary visitation and tract distribution,

we sha'l fail in carrying out our work to its glorious consummation 9th. rtesolved, Tbat as the future interests of the temperance reform must shortly devolve upon the rising generation we would most earnestly nrge that children's and youth's total abstinence societies be organized, independently, or in connection with Sabbath, schools, or other' associations in every community, and that this Convention recommend thai

whenever anil wherever it is practicable, the last fifteen minutes of each session of the fint day schools be spent in cffjrts to promote the Christian virtue of temperance . 10th. Resolved, That as the lienor dealers of our county have declared the trailic in intoxicating drinks to bo a legitimate pait of American commerce and deny the right to prohibit or restrict the same, and through their leagues have avowed their purpose to vote for no man in favor of total abstinence; therefore it becomes the duty of every lover of leui perance to labor to subvert their action, by resolving to sustain no mm at the

noils who is not practically in favor , of

temperance. 0 -' 11th. Resolved, That the Temperance men of Wayne county, are hereby invited , and urgently requested , to attend the County Republican Convention to be held

cd the lOlhinst. at Lentreville, for the purpose of asking the recognition of the .principles of the right and duty of the

legislature to prohibit the manufacture

and sale of intoxicating drinks as a ber-

etage, and that we appoint a committee ofeighteen to present this resolution to said Conventioa. ' . 12th, Resolved, That if the supporters of Temperance cannot got their principles recognized before said County Con ventibn, then we empower said committee cf eighteen to call a County Conven tion for the purpose of determine what ' political action to take.

WORKING PEISON.

It is located on a farm 25 miles from London, near the small town of Woking. The situation is beau-, tiful, overlooking a fine country. It tvas built 11 years ago for invalid and disabled prisoners, a.rd like all the English prisons, which we have visited, is a magnificent

building, constructed on the most approved style, and built in the most substantial manner. It has 724 piiaoners none of whom-are able bodied. Those who are able to be out of the Infirmary arc employed in light labor on the farm or at trades, such as shoemakin?,

tailoring and book binding, and many, especially old and feeble men, were employed at knitting, more to keep them employed than from any profit derived from their labor. The Infirmary is admirably arranged, and everything needed for the comfort of the sick is provided. The ahysician is a very pleasant and experienced gentle

man, and displayed much kindness and sympathy towards tho sick. The building is especially con

structed for the object, and lacks nothing so far as we could judge. All sick and disabled prit-dners from tho other Government pris

ons are tent here, as soon as it is apparent that their illness is of, a chronic character. Wo were greaty pleased with the prison and its

ofllcers, and it supplies a- much needed want in a country where there are so many convicts. We learned that a considerable number of convicts who had been injured (some of theni permanently)

from overwork in the other prisons

am sent here. Alany are. feeble, minded and nnesqual to much ser vice. Wbile it caused feelings ol sadness to see so many weak - and enfeebled persons all of whom are

criminals, we could not but rejoice

- Ho much has recently been said regarding the conduct of our presant Representative, in the matter of not lending his efforts to pro- ' mote harmony in the ranks of the Kepubran party in this district, that we desire to

take a band in putting a point or two on tho subject. , . . . ' We have no wish "anything to extenuate" jnd on'tUe other band we ho(-e 'naught should bo set down iu ' malice,"; ie. considering the

' A bill was reported for the relief of homestead settlers in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, with an ame jd. ment allowing them a year to rebuild and reoccupy. Mr. ' MonTos offered a resolution in reference to Bessemer stoel, saying Indiana is the Lest place to make it, and in favor of improving the harbor ol Michigan City that the ores of the Lake Superior region may": be brought nearer the coalGelds of Indiana. The amnesty bill was then taken up. The Senate refused to table it and take up the last House bill. . Mr. C&bpenter offered a substitute for Mr. Scumta'a civil rights amendment. It provides that common carriers and keepers of public places who make distinctions on account of race or color sha'l be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000.

Judge McKeaa Relates to Admit the Prisoners to Itnil A Slap nt District Attorney BHtcs. - Salt Lakb, Jan. 31. In the United States Court this afternoon, Deputy Attorney High, pursuant to instruction from Attorney-Gen eral Williams, telegraphed by Attorney Bates, moved all the prisoners in custody of . the United States in Utah, be admitted to bail:

Chief Justice McKean delivered a"

decision which receives universal and - hearty commendation from Gentiles and liberals. He alluded

to the fact that of eleven prisoners

charged with murder 6ix ere held in custody in the city without ex

pense to the government, and live at Camp Douglass at thirty cents a

lay extra. Some of the murdeis

Also such modifications of the law specif ring he duties of county examiner as shall make it their duty to superintend the general inter ests of the county by school visitations, attention to township libraries, systematizing the school work, holding efficient teachers' institutes, and inspecting the acts of clerks, justices of the peace and prosecuting attorneys, to see tbat unci iime.1 lees, Sues, and licenses are duly reported, and that forfeited bonds are collected and paid to the school fund.

The State and Presidential Campaigns ol

1S72 will be the most important, in many respects, in which the two great political parties noir in existence have ever been engaged. The Democracy are making insidious efforts to obtain the control cf the National Govern

ment, and it. is essential that the people be kept thoroughly apprised of their movements, as well as ol the claims of the Republican

party to a continuance of the confidence

wbich has been reposed m it for tho last

twelve years. . (J , '..

in tbe state tue issues will be very import

ant : they will comprise the questions of political honesty and economic governments

whether public servants can prostitute the

public funds fo their own private nse, thus corrupting the service, and making oat of

tne btate ollioes mere;, places ot pelf .for plunderers. The people will lie called upon

to decide whether the crimes and blunders of

the Democratic party shall be fastened upon the State for another term- .. The corruption and imbecility of tbe lat Legislature has been a by-word of reproach ever since it closed its session. Every reform measure demanded by the people, and promised by tbe Democracy

tailed ot passage by that body, and its History is as infamous as that of any General Assembly which has ever disgraced the annuals of legislation. The people are . to pronounce judgment upon- all these matters, and it ia essential that thy be thoroughly prepared to render a just verdict. lu; t- , txjj ; t ; ., ' THE INDIANAPOLIS J0U11NALV:;"; ' V!:--
