If both ofthem are not on their last legs sofar as influence and leadershipare concerned, then we are not agood judge of the situation.acorns]The penitentiary directors to-day unsnimously decided thatDr. Kirby Smith, son of thesuperintendent, had been guiltyofthe grossest immorality withtwo of the female criminal insane;that the charges against bimwere fully proved and that Dr.~George L. Kirby and Superin-tendent Smith were commendedfor promptly discharging him asTsupervisor. The board also de-cided to place the penitentiaryabsolutely in charge ofthe execu-tive committee, composed of Di-rectors Chadbourn, Martin andCotten, thus taking contro] entirely out of Superintendent Smith'shands. Smith made no protestbut submitted to it all. He isnow only nominally the superin-tenjent. His submission is allthat saved him, as but for this hewould have been deposed. Allthe officials and employes whohaye their families in the peni:tentiary are ordered to removethem immediately. No bills areto bo paid unless approved byChairman Dockery and twoexecutive committeemen. Therewill be a complete overhaulingand a!lsurplus employes will bedropped. It was decided thatthe penitentiary should not beleased, asthe general sentimentin the State is strongly againstleasing. Chairman Dockery saysan excellent showing is made bySuperintendent Smith as to farm-ing Operations and that afterpaying the debts there will be$25,000 surplus, putting cotton ata basis of five cents, and that-there will be also plenty of grainand feed for another year.

Indeed, it couldhardly have cost him any effortat all. We haye no sympathywith the idea that every mau whotakes a railroad pess is necessa"-rily a bad man and that, his ac-ceptance of it is prima facie evidence of his corruption; butwhen a man goes into a war uponcorporations for asteady businesshe ought to decline tueir courte-gies or at least make his organs~stop deslaring, from week {0week, that acceptance of therecourtesies is proof that the menis a hireling of the corporations.What does the Governor say?He says substantially that hetakes passes in order to get evenwith Judge Simonton and otherpeople; that he has rendered noequivalent for his transportationand doesnTt intend to, but that heproposes to beat the railroadsout of everything he can.There is a legal maxim that anaccuser must himself come intocourt with clean hande. His Ex-cellency, the Governor, couldwith better face, certainly withmuch better effect, lodge hischarges against the railroads andstand by seeing his newspaperorgans accuse men of corruptionin accepting passes, if he did nothimself have to confess that hehas a pocketful of them. Hisayowal that he knows that the|roads are violating the law in thegiving of passes is an admissionthat he is a party to their crime.He simply has no ground at all tostand on, and the tone of his in-terview indicates that he realizesthis fact fully "Charlotte Obser~ver.A Kentucky Hermit.At a wule gale at his farm, nearBloomfield, Ky., Friday, BasilHayden sold fifty mules, whichbrought an average price of $90per head.
