This extraordinary commission was o.
rginally INTENDED to inquire into the en-
ployment of Children, and its effect upon
their health antmorals but by subsequent
order its powcs were extended to "young
persons gcnralIy, and 20 gentlemen
were appoinicoas sub-commssioncrs to
conduct the mrslgaton. They seem to
have performd their duty with industry
and determination. The horrible abuse
which they har0iteralIy) brought 10 light
deserve immediate attention, and we pro-
coed to give sub an outline of the evidence
they have collected as it is possible TO di-
gest into the United space ut our present
disposal, Grommoro than 1000 folio pages.

same proposition and with the same re-
suit. If Mr.. Norris reported this fact
Mr.. lIickling, as il should seem probable
he must, il is not reconcilable with HEX
ling veracity, if the committee speak the
truth in regard to his statement TO them.
For one, | am satisfied the price paid is
a low one, and lower than any other re-
sponsible and competent person would
bid for the sane wOrk.
Three books were purchased instead of
two, as stated by the committee, with the
8 70 issued for that purpose. The
amount, with the discount on the funds.
is probably little, if any, more than snl-
ficient If there is any balance, Mr..
Armstrong, who received the funds, will
account for il.
The arithma,c of the committee seems
to be as unfortunate as their statements.
The committees arithmetic shows ba-
lance of 81 ,067 % against Conrad Sc
baugh, former treasurer Of this county:
the records show balance in his favor of
S53, and, IN fact, there is a balance due
him from the county Of 500, as vouchers
in the Office fairly show. Yet the com
mittee, seeming to be afraid they should
be defeated in their unfair and sinister
purposes if they made thorough research
into this matter, RETAINED to do it, but on
ly cnquired for enough to suit their pur-
poses, which seem throughout 10 have been
only TO find means to reproach the present
commissioners, and, particularly, myself.
