cd duly certified COPY to the Department

cd duly certified copy to the Department
of the Interior. Secretary Browning, in
his annual report for 1867, states that the
entire amount, 100000, had been received,
and was available for that purpose. The
Legislature Of Washington had designated
a board commissioners to superintend the
erection of the Pcniteutiary at or near
Steilacoom, in Pierce county. by this act
the entire control of the building was
assumed by the Territory. 1t seems not
to have been fully aware Of the provisions
of the act of Congress F.; the latter making it
the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to
approve the site aud provide that the build
ing shall be constructed under his direction.
No action can therefore, under existing
circumstances, be taken by the Department
in the premises, until the Legislature
amends its legislation as to conform to that
of Congress. Mr.. Otto, in letter to Hon.
Alvan Flanders, the then Delegate from
Washington, says that "the Legislature
should repeal their acts, and pass anew an
act desi snating site for the building, and
submit it to the Secretary of the Interior
for his approval. All matters pertaining
to the appointment Of a lerson to supern-
tend the erection of the building, and to
the manner in which it shall be constructed
belonging exclusively to this Department"
1t is the intention of Mr.. Cations bill to
secure this donation from the General
Government right away, without waiting
for future legislation to put it out Of
reach.
