and Prospecting Expedition:
S1K-SlLce my last report no word has
come from the Expedition.
Mr.. Rouse, who was despatched with mail
tor the command, returned on Tuesday last
without having reached it. He proceeded TO
4 point some 80 miles beyond tie scene OF
Colonel Bakers fight, aud there meeting 2
party Of Crows who informed him that the
command: was on its way back, aud not feel'
ing it wise on necessary to go farther. as he
believed our men had passed by on the op-
posite side OF the Big Horn and would reach
Bozeman before him, he returned..
There can be no foundation for this Indian
reprc. as the conmand could hardly have
reached its destination, while, had disaster
occurred to it q courier must surely have
been able to reach las with the news. IheE'
is no occasion Tor alarm or anxiety, nor fonn-
dation for the reportsin circulation il Helena.
AS Mr.. D. E. Rouse is due here fro.2 tue
Expedition, and may be expected now at as;7
time, it is deemed advisable to delay few
days before sending out another courier.
As an illustration OF the result to follow the
success Of the enterprise, letters from intend
ing emigrants are being constantly received,
and yesterday the Secretary received letter
from the agent of party of Is stock raisers,
who desire to come here from Pennsylvania

Some time since there was disposition to
induce farmers not to cultivate their lands to
any great extent. Now, that It Is ascertain.
ed there is very small quantity Of grain on
hand, and that in the hands Of few, and the
apprehension Of injury to crops from grass
hoppers, there will no doubt be greater
acreage put In than last year. We think it
highly important to cultivate farms to their
fullest extent to secure at least q supply.
Prices are bound to be remunerative. This
is eur opinion from careful survey of all
the surroundings.

In every department Of trade and
industry, an Improvement is already
observed. This all owing to the fact
that Congress voted to give us an In
crease, though slight one, Of cur
rency. In Chicago the effect was i'm.
mediate. Grain advanced about 1c.
per bushel, pork 1O015c. per barrel,
and lard about 10c. per 100 pounds.
Even opponents Of expansion avowed
in whispers to their confidential friends
that they were glad they had been
beaten, and seemed to be warmed by
the sunshine Of better business pros
poets. If the 1000, 900 bill could
do all this, what would unrestricted
circulation accomplish
In our own city, the improvements
in the general tone Of business is de-
cidedly marked. In real estate we
hear of several transactions at enhanc-
ed figures; new buildings are to be
erected in every quarter Of the city,
for confidence is measurably restored.
What this settling of the vexed cur
rency question has done for Chicago,
St. Louis and st. Joseph, it will do for
every village and hamlet, every farmer
and laboring man in Missouri and the
West.-St. 10. Herald.

That portion Of the public debt which
came due in 1873, and was presented to
the Treasury, amounting to $4,000, has
been paid, and the sinking fund for the
redemption of the debt as it shall become
due, has been increased during the year
10 Sl,255T46. After deducting the
sinking fund, the State debt on the lst Of
jan. 1871, was S5,Ss2,654. a reduction
of S2S4,499 during the past year and Of
3.366. 746. or more than one fourth,
since the close Of tie war. At the pres
cut rate of accumulation of the sinking
.ual. the State debt Will be met as it tma-
lures, and entirely extinguished in 1850.
As the sinking fund, invested in United
States and State securities, Is already
over million and quarter dollars, and
is constantly increasing, suggest whether
some additional provision for Its oversight
and security would MT be advisable.

THE STATE PRISON.

According to the report Of the Inspcc-
tors. the earning, OF the conyicts have
de.rayed the expenses of carrying on the
State Prison during the year ending Nov.
so. 1873, and yielded TO the State q net
profit OF SG,54l9S, which has been add
al to the workiu. capital of the iusti;u-
ton. The salaries of the Warden and
Inspectors, amounting the past years to
s4.46O.35. are paid from the State Treas
urv, in accordance with the system which
has ALWAYS obtained Ia making up the
Ir.>lu accounts. Dcluctiuc this amount,
and there still remains q balance Of So
0S4.63 ia favor of the State, after pay
ing all the expenditures OF supporting
tine prison, including salaries OF Warden
and Inspectors, the cost OF transportation
o. prisoners from the several jaiis and
uaymeuts to couyicts when discharged
Should this favorable financial condition
of the Institution continue, the State will
he relieved Of all expenditures on prison
account, except so far Us may be necessary
to keep the buildings in safe condition,
and provide for possible losses by hre.
The recent increase OF prison accommo-
datious by the erection Of a new wing
supplies all the demands which will be
made In this direction for years.
The Inspectors report that the value oi
the tools. stock ON hand AMI balance OF
debts due the prison, on the 3Uth Of Nov
last. was Sis, ,197.03. \ few days af
ter, one Of the workshops was uniortu
nately burned, involving loss Of tht
building, valued a; about $4,000, and al
so of stock and tools valued at 1000
This loss reduces the value OF the tools
stock, etc, to about SlOS,0U0; but it i,
thought that the operations of the prison
can be carried on as usual without any
appropriation to supply this part of the
,.ss a new fre-prOof workshop will
however, be required another summer
whether the labor Of the prisoners is dis
posed of to contractors, or employed or
account of the State. For the erection
of such a building as shall be well adapt
cd to the wants Of the prison, the In
spectors recommend an appropriation o
$4,000.
With the exception Of period OF SIX
or eight years, the State has always en-
ployed the labor Of the conyicts in man
uiacturing operations on its own account
ON the assumption that such a course wa:
preferable on grounds Of economy as wei
As discipline. Iuasmuch as it is though
bv some that it would be more equitable
to the public, and more advantageous tc
the State, to dispose Of the labor Of tn
conyiets to contractors, | would sugges
that your committee on that institution
investigate the subject, aud give hearin!
to all persons interested in this or an.
other matter connected with the manage
ment of the prison.

1t viii be obseryad that up to the pres
emit time, almost the only resource OF the
State TO meet both ordinary and extra
ordinary expenditures, has been direct
tax.,ion. The State tax last year was
ave mills ON the dollar, bat it is the judg-
nent Of the Treasurecer that the tax may
BE reduced the present year to four and a
half mills, provided the legislature shall
make no unusual appropriations. l most
earnestly urge, however, that you
should consider whether it Is not ad.
visab.e to devise some method other than
direct taxation to secure part OF the
revenue required for State expenditures,

truaucy or some petty mlsdemeanor,
which by no means argues more the want
of parental care, with youth who are to a
great extent depraved as well as an IN
discriminate herding of all classes OF
crime Under such circumstances any
methods Of reform must be largely coun-
tegbalanccd by bad influences. The Trus-
tees ask for an appropriation Of S2O,OOo
to make the changes in the building re-
puired in order to overcome the insulier-
able difficulties suggested, and are
thoroughly convinced that unless this can
be done the institution must continue
shorn Of large part Of its power for
good am SO profoundly convinced OF
the correctness of this view, that | trust
you will give the recommendations OF the
Trustees that favorable consideration
which they so well deserve.

as soon as is placed in my hands The re-
port Of the Superintendent, shows a steady
increase in the numbcrof patients, and gives
evidence Of a successful discharge OF the
important duties resting on him. | AIN
informed that 4 proposition will be made
to YOU to so amend the laws relating to
the Hospital, as to place the patients
more completely under the protection Of
the laws This suggestion is not made
ON account Of any existing necessity in
this State, but in pursuance of a general
movement degined to reach all similar
institutions IN this country.
The report Of the Commissioners of a
proposed new Insane Hospital, appointed
by virtue OF resolve of the last Legisla-
tue, will be found of su-h Importance as
to claim your considerate attention. The
members OF the commission report in
favor of erecting, on the present Hospital
grounds in Augusta, a new Hospital, to
accommodate one hundred patients, at an
estimated cost Of one hundred aud fifty
thousand dollars. Oue member reports
in favor OF the erection. on the Hospital
grounds, Of two or three cottages at first,
and subsequently others as they may be
needed, to scverllly accommodate about
twenty patients, at an estimated cost ct
about five thousand dollars each. The
present Hospital building is oyer-crowdcd.
aud ndadditional accommodations are already
required.

of much Importance. The report Of the
Trustees of toe Insane Asylum has not yet

these important State institutions, It is
important that, through your several

vou shauld make your oversight OF them
not simply a brief, formal visitation. but
thorough aud careful annual inspection
and Investigation, in the early part OF the
session when at lest portion OF the
members OF each committee could give
the time necessary ior this work. Thus
y5u would bring the people into closer
relations with these institutions, remove
abuses. If any hal grown up. di,arm

Gdeuce on which their success 50 largely
depends.
