Spectal Dispatch to The Trivune, Sancamon County Jam, Srererrecn, Il., April 4.—At 6 o'clock a. m. business began in this caravansary. The forty-five prisoners, crowded into the narrow quarters which would afford scanty accommodations for eighteen, be- gan to get restive. They were still locked in their narrow cells, but they commenced shaking the bars and shouting backwards and forwards to one another with the vigor of steam whisties at midday. Of course this was destructive to pleasant dreams, and sleep soon fled from the downy couch on which the reportorial corpus lay. After listening to snaches of song from, these matutinal warblers for an hour or more, mixed with the noise of sundry kicks, yells, and shuffles, the news- paper man arose, peered through the massive blinds of his sumptuous apartment, and reflect- ed upon the sweet security of sleeping in a place where it was impossible forany demons of the nicht to break in. There is no fear of burglars, and no aporehension of finding one’s pants in the back alley in the morning. The Sangamon County Jail has been so improved during the long gray’ years of its existence as to make it entirely burglar-proof. The con- yeniences for taking a morning stroll are, however, not worthy of enthusiastic commendation ; they are so limited, indeed, that some of my’companions have not been out for a walk for some Poaelisy The Sheritf’s INVITED ME TO BREAKFAST with the family, which nospitality was gladly accepted. The other prisoners luxuriously took their morning meal in their chambers. After breakfast Jack Allen looked over the jail-book and called upon Charles Wilson, a Onicago tramp, to come down, a summons which a strong-limbed, black-haired, healthy young cman obeyed with an alacrity which showed that he had some interest in the proceedings. He had completed a forty-days’ residence at the Bastile, to which he had been consigned for yagrancy. Being always on the alert to detect the cur rent of opinion, the newspaper man INTERVIEWED THE VAGRANT. “Who are you?” : “Charles Wilson.” “What do you do? “Nothing.” ‘What do you think of the Thirty- first Gene eral Assembly?* “J think they are the worst lot of tramps that ever disgraced the State of Mlinois.” “Were you ever a member of the Legistae ture?” “No; but I have been to the Penitentiary.” “Where do you live?” “+ Nowhere.”” «How long have you lived there?” “Always.” “Who is yourcandidate for Governor fn 18807" “ William H. Thompson, of Cook.” « Where are you going to get your dinner?” “At Wiggins’. ¢ Who fs your lawyer?” “Snigp.” . “How did you pay him?” “Brass jewelry.” “How do you like this hotel?” “Bad. It’s THE WORST JAIL IN ILLINOIS.” ‘What's your name?” “Frank Nevins.” “What are you in for?” “Contempt.” “Contempt for what?” “The Legislature.” “When are the balance of the people of the State going to be brought here?” “*Can’t say; they are ull liable.” Before this interesting dialogue could be con- cluded, Gen. Smith, the Treasurer of the State, and Guy Mazee called, and Charles Wilson walked off to enjoy his liberty and contemplate the uncertainty of sublunary things. “Here, Frank,” said Magee. “What's that?” “Lawrence & Martin’s hand-mad¢ pure cop- per-distilled sour mash, one pint—drink.” “Shake; take a cigar, Guy.” “Where did you get those?” “From military headquarters; Gen, Hilliard sent them.
