The article presents information on various social and political developments around the world. It is informed that, a committee of the Legislature of Indiana was lately appointed to investigate the condition of one of the State prisons known as the "State Prison South." It has made its report, which ought to be in the hands of everybody who still believes that public offices should be used for the reward of party service, and that any sort of politician is good enough to take charge of criminals and paupers. The Committee found that the books of the prison were falsified and entries omitted, under the direct orders of the warden; but they nevertheless discovered, without much difficulty, a deficit of $20,000.
