They were assisted only and directed by "one-overseer, and notwithstanding thtso disadvantages, it is apparent at first sight that this building is not alone equal, but even superior in every respect, to those ever before erected these premises.

DESCE1PIION OF THE PBISOH. As we shall have the satisfaction of within a few months, the final completion of the Wisconsin State Prison, it may not out of place to give now a full description of the prison premises acd buildings. In doing so, I prefer to quote from the able "Be- port ou Prisons and Bsformetories of the United States and Canada," pub- shed by Messrs. Bev. O.

E. Wines and Dr. Theodore W. Dwight, of New York, 'he latter who visited and nspected this institution, says in the nteresting work refemd -to: prison (Wiaconsio) ia situated at jun sod may be prononnoed; in all respects, naof the fiaest in the Doited The remises comprise an ares of twenty acres, eight which ate tncloscd' by a stone wall, twenty teet nigh an 1 three -feet thick.

fiUeawuh At the time of our riat the It will be seen from the foregoing statement that the whole amount appropriated for prison purposes, less the small sum of $409.88. has been invested in public buildings and other valuable improvements, and that the institution came, in fact, very near being aelf-sup- The question now arises, what have been the. annual expenditures of the prison, since its organization, in ISol. My predecessors in office have kept no account of the earnings of the convicts. By considering the following figures, however, w.a may judge, whether or cot the management of the it's present system of has been economical and profitable, and to the best interest of the state.

The legislature has appropriated, in all, for prison construction, improvements and current expenses, the sum of six hundred and twenty four thousand and stven hundred dollars and eighty-seven cents The present estimated yalue-of-grounda and buildings, personal property cash assets, is five hundred and thirty-four thousand and ninety-seven dollars (534 097), consequently the actual cost to the state'for the support of her convicts for sixteen years, would be only ninety thousand six hundred and three dollars and eighty-seven cents ($90,603 87), or not even six thousand aoi lars ($6 000) per in a pecuniary view, a very favorable result. It is my deliberate opinion that the system of working onr convicts on account of the State, as heretofore, is him, saying 1 to his associate, quite make'tint 'this man is" a fool or'-a knave -he seems-to bo' a sort of mis-ceUaneous person:" When he oime to comment i him the a'- gument, he said: "This man 1 seeiiis to'mei your trj have a sort of incipient intennittent- fly pa The way he.brought Out these success- 1 3 eo 'ne ive qualifying adjectives produced of Angola, Opeji great-'nilftrity in ail wlio 1 had' watched- the progress of the case.

The are He goes further and in one hensive sentence asserts that 'the principles Of American Liberty are etill the inheritance of the people and ever sHohld be." When a great soldier, with unrestrained power in his hands to oppress his fellow men, voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying his selfiah ambition and himeelf to the duty of building up the Uberties and strengthening the laws of his country, he presents an example of the highest virtue that human nature is capable of practicing. The- btrongest claim of. Washington.to.the "First in War, first in Peace, and first in the Kearts of his Co'nntrymen," is founded on the great fact that in all his illustrious career he scrupulously abstained from violating the legal and- constitutional rights of his feUow-uitizens.

i The following is the House bill to' suspend the further reduction of cur rency: it enacted, That from and after this act, tha authority ot the ceetary of the Treasu-y to, irtJIiX Ulilist of the grave truth of the statement should urge upon Congress, as of highest importance, the adoption of some plan, a board of examiners, or Some adequate means by which character and fitness and responsibility shall be rigidly demanded of revenue officials; and a'so a reform which shall prevent corrupt officers from using irresponsible power, without judge or jury, to plunder honorable and fatten ott their-share of the spoils thus basely gained. WHEBKAS, Official statements show that the national debt has been reduced $26.618,751.21 since Sept. 1st, 1865, and WHEBEAS, The experience of these two years just passed show that the severe and complicated taxation necessa-' ry for such speedy and heavy payment, will exhanse and paralyze the resources and labor of the country; therefore Besolved, That such rapid reduction of 'the debt is fraught with danger in the naar future, and should notbe continued, and that only when all the states of the Union are in a financial condition to pay their due sbare.shonld the debt be reduced by a small sum annually, increasing as the growth of wealth and 'population will allow, with a view to its full, payment as soon asit can be safely done without perilous: and exhaustive embarrassment. Besolved, That deem it of great importance that constant and systematic, care be used that the government income outgo balance, with the difference, on the surplus side, since without such care it is utterly impossible to adjust revenue matters or for the common good, and. equally impossible to avoid shameful national financial difficulties; and therefore we would sitggesi that fit commissioners but the lu.kun iic.
