THE PENirENTIARf.
The affairs of the Peniten,ary have been
we'll conducted during the last two years.
Its present able and efficient officers, al
though Iahoring under many difficulties,
have, by their careful and skiIIfl manage.
mrnt, maintained excellent discipline, pre-
served, in remarkable degree, the health
Of the cnnvi,ts. and have SO cconumized it,
expenses, that of the sum appropriated at
the last rcruIar session for the general sup.
port of the Prison. there remains unex-
pended an amoun, so large that. in tn. opin.
ion of the Warden, no appropriation for
that purpose will be needed at the present
session. These officers. howcver as we'll
as those in charge of the Insane Asylum,
the Asylums for the Deaf and Dumb. and
the Blind, anI all others who have been
charged with the duty of procuring for tho
State either labnr materials. or mcrchan.
die of any kind for ordinary State pur-
poses. have been continually embarrassed
for the want of money. and have been com.
pellcd to carry ON their operations. and
tace. with warrants on the Treasury. OF
course, they have been compelled to pay
hohcr prices in warrants than they would
have to- pay in cash. As soon as the war.
rants are Delivered they are presented 1t
the treasury. and endorsed unpaid for want
Of finds. and from that time draw eight
ner cent. interest. 5, that the excess Of
nr;c, and interest are a clear loss to tho

individuals can n,,uaye their affairs in this
manner without serious present crnharrsss.
ment and great ultimate loss, and in my
Judgment it is clearly your duty, as guar.
dams of the public welfare, to see to il
that this state of affairs shall not continue.
The reports of the officers of the P.ni-
tertiary show the sums, which, in their
opinion, should be appropriated by YOU,
and the objects for which they are needed.
Whilst am satisfied that all these objects
are legitimate, and that the accomplishment
Of them would add much to the safety and
completeness of the Prison, cannot, in
the present condition of our finances, rs-
commend appropriations for all The com.
plction Of the third tier of cells, additional
accommodations for The hospital. additional
shop-room. and new cla.crn, are perhaps
