Bill relating to the management Of the
state prison. Inquiries by the com that
visited the prison, by several senators
for information pertaining to the man
agement thereof and replies thereto con-
sumed most OF the morning session, the
fact appearing To be patent that through
Acknowledgement somewhere the prison
has been more expensive to the state
than circumstances would seem to JUS
tify. Mr. Walker stated that the senate
had before them in the report Of com,
proof OF the inefliCienGy Of q board Of d.
rectors. The passage of the bill would
be q Censure of the superintendent who
is not the party responsible for the mis-
management.
Mr. Hendae said he lived remote from
the state prison and always hoped to,
and had no local feelings on the subject,
He was surprised to see so much appar-
ent personal feeling among honorable
sensators on q subject which requires
Candor and consideration. He did not
regard the bill as an attack upon the

main feature of which is, requiring bonds
Of the directors, and making the super

them.
