tors, printed substantially in full in IHE
TRIBUNE early in January, ond is made up
so bungngly that tables which refer only TO one
prison given summary Of the transactions oi
all. For instance, interesting table showing the
average earnings and expenses of each convict Tor
the past ten years, which was plainly given in the
Inspectors report and in THE TRIBUNE az applying
to Auburn Prison only is given by this blunderiDg
Committee as applying to all Of the prisons.
The Committee say. with priggish soemnity, " in
searching for the cause OF the deficiency in prison
revenues n comparison of the earnings and the ex-
pense Of maintaining cOnvicts instituted" and
then they give the talk just mentioned hched from
the Inspectors report and made to apply to all the
prisons. There are other mistakes quite as bad IN
this brief and meager report.
After running over number Of facts in relation 10
thelsxity Of discipline employment and non-empoy-
ment Of cOnvicts, &C., the Committee suggest that
improvements be made in the purchasing OF sup
plies that the Controller appoint the clerks, that
illuminating gas for the prisons might be more
cheaply furnished if made on the premises that
wearing apparel might be made by convict labor,
that some of the work public buildings could be
done by convicts now idle that the marble quarres
and lime works at Sing Sing might perhaps be
availed of for the purpose, and that
wall might be built around the prison grounds
at Sing Sing. The concluding paragraph Of this
report recommends the passage Of the Prison Inves
tigation bill which the Committee have been hold
ing now for nearly mOnth-a bill which was re-
ported in the Senate within two days after its intro
duction and was passed within week without
single opposing vote. The Committee has lessened
the time of the investigating Commission by nearly
a month Meanwhile, the deficiency goes on at the
rate Of $4,000 week.

STATE PRISONS.

PASSAGE OF THE AMENDMEN BY THE SENAlE-kE-
PORT OF The ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE on INVEs-
TGAuON-ITS BLUNDERs AND lis WORTHLESS
kEsS-sUGGEsTIONS OFFERED.
lyEoN THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIDUSEl
ALBANY March 1O-OBc practical step in the d-
rection of State Prison reform was taken to-day in
the passage by the Senate of the State Prison
amendment. II has been delayed for some time in
accordance with an understanding with some
Republicans in the Lower House, who were
opposng il to serve local interests but the character
of the opposition became evident that the Repub-
licans in the Senate determined to-day to force the
amendment through, fearing that further delay
might endanger its final passage. Senator SchOon-
maker opposed calling it up OH the ground that he
had never read 1t, but finally gave way, and the
amendment was passed, Senators Bixby, Jacobs and
Loomis all Democrats, voting in the negative.
In the Assembly the report of the State Prison
Committee, which was directed by resolution of the
House on the 11th Of January, Immediately after
the publication of the report Of the State Prison In
spoctOrs in TIE TRIBUNE, to inquire into the best
method of investigating the PRISONS presented ITS
report The delay which this committee has made,
not only in presenting this report but in acting on
the State Prison Investigation bill, has been
the subject Of good deal of severe
though deserved comment Part of this DELAY has
been due to the absence, caused by Sickness OF MI
Higgins, who seems to be doing what he can with a
Committee organized in the interest of the present
system of State Prison government but much delay
has been due to the evident disposition of this Com
mttee to delay investigation long as possible. If
any committee had been appointed last Winter TO
discover the best method for investigating the
frauds on the canals, aud had waited two months
to day tO report there would have been an out
burst Of Indignation from every quarter OF the
State This is exactly what this Committee, a
majority of whom are known 10 have been ap-
pointed through State Prison influences, has done,
and all the while the members knew that bill was
pending providing for investigation, which was to
close peremptorly on the 1st of September, and
which was shortened and cramped by every weeks
delay on the part of the Committee. If the report
when il came, had been Of value, il might have
served as an atonement for this delay.
But the report is worse than useless it Is badly
given to blunders and is absolutely devoid of any
thing new This is not the first report that has been
written for the Committee. Some weeks ago Mr..
Ingalls, wrote a report which the Committee did not
like, for some reason, and 80 the Committee, as a
leading member said, got " a man outside" to write
their report. The man outside did his work
badly The report is almost entirely made ny

A sEyING-MACHINE PATENT REFUSED.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The House COM
mittee Patents to-day reported adversely on the a
pication Of A. b. Wilson for extension OF his patent
for sewing machines This il celebrated and valuable
-four motion feed" now used by the Wheeler Wilson
and other machines. The application has been
before Congress for several years, and protests
against the extension have been received during
that time signed by nearly one million per
soma All Of the small sewing machine companies
which had been required TO pay heavy royalty
20 the sewingnachine combination composed OF
the four leading machine companies have fought the eX
tension savagey. This refusal will intimately reduce
the price Of sewing machines very greatly as the
four motion feed becomes public property. The Com
mitee that the applicant has already made two or
three large fortunes Of his invention and that Is
time now to give the Vublic chance. The testimony
taken before the Committee shows tLat the cost OF max
ng sewing is than from Tl2 TO Sl5.

IFRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS OF THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON. March 10-A card signed by all the
Jurors in the late libel suit of A. H. Wilder, Indian
contractor, Of Minnesota, against William Welsh of
Philadelphia seems to show cOnclusively that this
correspondence has been mistaken in the nature of
some of the evidence submitted TO them, and that
the yindicatiOn of Mr.. Wilder was much more COM
plete than has been supposed The following is the
card:
We the jurors in the case of Amherst II. Wilder
agt. William Welsh tried during the last week in
the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia before
Chief Justice Cartier, declare that the jury unan-
mously agreed that the evidence in the case fully
and completely exculpated Mr.. Wilder from all the
him by Mr.. Welsh; that it left no lmputatlon OF
fraudulent cOnduct III relation to the matters in
question on any officer employs OF the Indian
Bureau; and that the only question on winch we
differed in opinion was whether Mr. Welsh, by his
pOsitiOn and motives was chargeabe with malice III
The publication in question, OF whether he made the
publication in the light of the case as understood by
bun al the time with pure motives and from sense
