evening BY . young member Of Cover

corning the State Prison frauds and
washos county colonization which We
exposed yesterday. The young gsntls-
man In question seemed somewhat sur

have the tsmsrity 10 Gus the Ne
vaaa Democracy Of corruption. He hsv-
ever admitted every material point made
by us 70 be true, 70 wit: That the

varying from four to six dollars Per day.
