AT present the State prisons Of New
York are greatly overcrOwded, and a
large proportion Of the convicts are
serving out their terms in idleness, IN
stead Of cat hard labor, as sentenced
by the courts. OF the LAS prisoners
at Sing Sing, about one thousand are
idle, while at Auburn and Clinton fully
one-half are continually ont Of work.
Under such circumstances the punish
ment Of crime becomes a very serious
item Of expense. We suppose neither
party in New York would dare permit
the convicts to be used outside the
prison walls in competition with ether
labor.

SENATOR CHRIS TIANCY's HOPE
FUL VIEWS.

In a recent speech at Kalamazoo, Hon.
Isaac P. Christiancy, the new Senator
from Michigan, expressed some senti-
ments which have the ring Of that
true craftsmanship which the country
never stood in greater need Of than
now. He said:
Let US adhere with all frmness and
fidelity to the spirit and purpose of the
constitutional amendments securing
the equality Of all men before the law,
and to the enforcement Of such laws as
are necessary to carry them
into effect, not forgetting what / fear
we are too apt TO forget, that the same
Constitution secures a like equality
among the States, and that mere eOcial
equality, depending upon personal OF
habltual likes and CIslikes, no human
enactments can enforce; that under
the Constitution, and for the preserva-
ton Of liberty, the State Governments
are Just as essential as the Federal
Government; that each Is sovereign
within its respective and appropriate
sphere; that the utmost delicacy
should be observed by each
IN the exercise Of doubtful
powers, and that the utmost vigi-
lance of all is demanded against the
usurpation by either Of the powers be-
longing to the other. We must expect
some clashing and jarring II the ma
Chinery Of government. And while l
believe the great mass Of intelligent
men at the South accept, as l hope and
believe all parties at the North do, the
final extinction OF slavery, and the con-
stitutional amendments IN good faith,
as the unalterable result Of the recent
war, we must make due allowance
for the shortcomings and occasional
outbreaks among the less enlightened
of their population. They have al had
enough Of war, and have no greater
wish to renew it than we have, And
however some Of them might desire the
restoration Of slavery no party IN the
North viii dare to advocate such a re-
Progression. But ali will feel that
upon this question they have given
bonds to fate, and that one step
backward Will be the annihilauOn Of
the party which shall be weak enough
to take it. And without Northern aid
the people Of the South too well under
stand that such Q course would only de-
strov their influence IN the Govern
ment. But while we insist upon 5heIr
obedience to the laws and the COnstl-
tuition Of the Union, let us be careful
to set them the example Of a ike o5edI-
ence on our own parS, and let
Us seek TO win their affections
by kindness, by gentleness, by
Inagnanimity and for earance, by
candor and good faith, and every con-
ciliatory means IN our power, allowing
no mere par 'isan interests to make MS
unjust, always remembering that we
are brothers Of the same flesh and
blood; that in the terrible civil war
which resulted in their defeat, they
suffered more than we, that hencefOrth
their prosperity and ours are lnsepara-
hIy connected, and our fate Is to be
cou,mon one; remembering, also, that
their fathers as well as ours stood hand
IN hand, shoulder to shoulder IN the
v-7y that made Ms nation
