That erudte LEGISLATOR. Mr.. Enock Strong, distin-
guished himself in this debate. This man is GER

the chap who opposed the mill tax, on the ground
that as the tax was levied solely on miVers-it was

The report of the commissioner appointed to ex-
anime into the practicability of employing .onvics
in mining is a most interesting document: 1t is
strongly favorable to employing the convcts in that
manner, and recommends the purchase Of an iron
mine in Clinton county for that purpose. The COM
missioner estimates that gang OF one hundred
and that ultimately profitable employment might be
given TO some flve hundred under outlay of some
thing like $4,000 for the mine and new cells.
No New York appointments yet II is said that
his "Agriculturalist' has been SO bored by his New
York friends, that he has come TO conclusion, out
OF revenge, to leave the city nominations until the
last moment. Meanwhile the time hangs heavily
on the hands OF the poor devils.
