Hafthrough dinner, Mr.. Engs, the Commissioner
joined US. After finishing it with moderation we then
proceeded to the upper end of the Island where the
principal portion OF prisoners engaged in getting
out stone and building the new Insane Hospital
Here we saw the stout brawny black rascnls all at
work-borng holes in the rocks to blast them. The
way they work is hs-cne fellow holds long iron
rod, and two or three others with big hammers pay
away it until they bore hole in the rock several
feet in depth.
Says one Of the aldermen to me, :" Mr.. b, when
your friend Mr.. John H. sends you here, what would
you like to do? hold the rod. or hammer p
Faith think should prefer holding the rod, if
were not afraid ofmy fingers"
On this spot at the upper end, in 1884, splendid
Insane Hospital was begun by the wing corporation
of that day When my party" got into power, they
abandoned it, for sound reasons, namely because it
was "a Id wing measure" and thus the naked
the last election. Now this great and benevolent
work has been commenced, and is going rapidly for
ward. When the building is completed it will be the
best institution Of the kind in this country 1t will
consist of from, $50 feet in length, and wing on
each end 200 feet each in length-making range Of
buildings $50 feet IN all. 1t will be built alto
geher of the beautiful deep blue granite of the Island
and every piece Of work about is performed by the
prisoners and convics. The building will be story
and basement high, with gardens and grounds
around for the comfort Of the poor there to
be confined.
We cannot imagine any charity more excellent or
important than such as this is intended to be. Mr..
Engs and the artcheet showed US the the whole
plan, and politely pointed out the various improve
ments contemplated on this delicious spot.

To comprehend the full bearing Of the
points now in question, Of these proceed
ings of the majorities and minorities OF
the committees, and Of Cong :css itself, ii
must be carefully borno in mind, that the
committees and Congress knew nothing
whatsoever of the al owances, amounting
to $16l,0O and odd dollars, sweeping
back to January l, 1882, which made up
the Solicitors award. All tile services
covered by these allowances, down TO 1885,
wcre fully enamired by the committees,
and we're taken into tie account when
they, in the manner we have seen, declar
ed that the contractors had already been
paid beyond the value of those services to
an enormous amount The claims acted

The last report Of committee, as we
have seen, was made on the 18Th OF Feb>
uary, 1886. On the Isl Of May. 1886.
the present Postmaster General took
charge Of the Post Office Department.
He found the following entry on the
Wheeling contract, and the following
credits given in the account Of the contrac' E
tors in this case, viz:
"A1ur,ch 81, 1851 appears there
was an order drawn early in May, June,
1888, allowing SO per cent; on pay from

In relation to the Weeling routes, the
minority, after showing that contractors
had been paid for a second daily mail
considerable period when it was not run,
make the following statement, viz:
"The original contract for carrying
the mail on routes Nos. 1,201, 1,202,
1889, 1890, and 1,400, mentioned at
the head of the preceding article, was
for the annual compensation Of $1,000.
A stipulation was inserted in the contract,
that for $3.50, the contractors should
perform certain services, specified in the
improved bid of Reeside and Stockton, if
directed. The services were immediate,
directed to commence with the contract,
lst January, 1882.
"One Of the services thus directed
was tri-weekly mail from Baltimore to
Weeling, 266 miles. The sum allowed
for this tri-weekly mail Is presumed to
have been in proportion 20 the sum &c.,
4OO) afterwards allowed for the four ad
ditional trips, at which rate it would have
been per annum $4,000
and far exceeding pro rata
allowance on the original
contract.
The whole number of miles
run per week under the
original contract, on all
these routs, was 2,409;
and the number by dai-
ly mail from Baltimore
TO Wheeling, was 1862.
Then, as the 2,409 miles
is to the $1,000, so is the
1862 miles 10 the compen-
sation for running daily
mail on this route, viz
S5,4l0: and then, as the
seven tripsis tothe $5,4lO,
so is the three trips to the
pro rata allowance there

1t appears, however, from
the testimony of Mr.. Wea-
YER, that when he become
acquainted with this route,
1st April, 1888, the mail
was then running through
at an average Of flty-six
hours, and so continued to
run through the summer
and fall; during the next
winter it averaged about
seventy hours, and from
May, 1884, it averaged n
bout sixty-two hours. AS
suming, then, that for the
first two years they run
through in ffty.six hours,
gaining only four hours,
the contractors would have
been entitled TO only ono
third of this allowance du-
ring hat period, and for
