 Mr. Stewart became aware that there was no chance for the repeal ofthe laws which prevent him from assuming the duties of the Treasury Departments, and to relieve Congress, the President and himself from the embarrassment which surrounded each, he was led to take the only logical course left, to solve the troublesome problem. There was much excitement in the city to-day in reference to Mr. Stewart, and the message relating thereto The President Senators and Represents dives have been in constant consulta- ton the entire day, and the politicians have nervously fitted between the lea ders in both houses, anxiously canvass ing the absorbing topic.

Sometimes a drunk en headache made them cross; then woe to any poor devil. of convict who might get into the way. He would be whipped for amusement. One poor old man named Cambell-sixty years of age-on such an occanion got what the witness called an outrageous whipping" No one can tell how many stripes that gray haired old man received. The next day he was carried to the hospital. and on the next he died.
 Some of the stories were so horrible that the Legislature was compelled to institute mock investigation A committee was appointed They were wned, dined, smo- ked, saw nothing wrong, and returned with fattering report. The killing of an Irihman, and tho sworn statement of the steward, who was discharged for ex- posing the debaucheries, gambling, cruel ty, bribery and misrepresentation of funds compelled the house to appoint 'c,ond committee. The last committee has just completed it's disgusting task. They wor- ked day and night No reporter was per mtted to be present Witnesses were ex. amined separately. When they completed their labors the prison officers, were dis charged, new ones appointed in their places, and thus the matter ends for the present Doubtless the people of lndl- ana will devote more attention hereafter to the subject of prison reform.
