THE PRISON CONTRACT.
Mr.. Thompson Ready to Sign His Offer
The Matter Referred to the Legislative
Com mittees.

Mr.. Thompson Ready to Sign His Offer :
The Matter Referred to the Legislative
Committees.
The State prison inspectors met at Still
water yesterday, TO consider the various offers
for the convict labor for the next nine wears.
Il will be remembered that c. ]. Thompson,
Esq, of this city, was the highest bidder, Of
fcring AK C per day for the labor and 5000
per year for power and use of machinery. The
attorney general drew contract SO ex-
acting that Mr.. Thompson last week declined
10 sign, and asked some modificat ons. Yes
terday Mr.. Thompson appeared before the in
spectors at saltwater and offered to sign the
contract as prepared, waving his previous OBJ
.iections. He is also prepared to qualify with
responsible sureties.
The board did not accept the offer, but re-
ferred the matter TO the Senate and House
State prison committees to consider the
whole matter and make the award. Inasmuch
as Mr. Thompson stands ready to pay 47kc
per day and 50 ,010 per year for the machinery
and execute the contract prepared by the State,
II is difficult to see how any award can be
made for a less amount, even if Mr.. Thompson
should he set aside The public will watch
the outcome of the controversy with great
interest. 1t is, we believe, the first time there
has ever bee n any actual competition for. the
prison labor.

The .Pinuea UiU Case.

The Pinncy viii case was brought to sud.
den close yesterday by the rendering of the
stipulated verdict which was brought in by
the jury, after being so instructed by the court
The following is the verdict, which was agreed
to by the attorneys for the proponents and
contestants:
First-Was the paper writing propounded by
Lewis Taylor and William Leaf, bearing date
March %, 1872, signed by Ovid Pinny in the
presence of two or more witnesses! Yes.
Second-Was the said paper writing sub
scribed in the presence of said Ovid PinDy by
two or more competent witnesses in the pres
ence of said Ovid Pinney? Yes.
Thiri-Was said paper writing attested by
two or more competent witnesses in the pres.
ence of said Ovid Pinney? Yes
Fouath-Was said Ovid Pinney, on the god
day of March, A. D., 1872, and at the time said
paper writing is claimed to have been signed,
attested and Subscribed, of sound mind? No.
Fifth-Was said paper writing procured 20
be signed and executed by said Ovid Pinney as
and for his Last will aud testament by the
fraud and undue influence of William Leaf and
Lewis Taylor or either of them? No.
By this verdict the will of 1861 would legally
hold, although it is understood that the mat
ter viii! be compromised and dropped by allow
ing the contestants two thirds OF the property
and the Pennsylvania orphans, William Leaf
and Lewis Taylor, The other third.

HOUSE.

There was brief session of the House
yesterday afternoon, but the proceedings
were not marked by any incident Of spe-
cial note. A resolution was adopted on
motion of Gen. Sanborn directing the
committee on Congressional apportion-
ment to proceed with the arrangement of
five Congressional districts at once, with
out waiting until the apportionment bill
passed Congress, and to report as early
as possible. There may be some legal
question as to the validity of such action,
but the House did not stop to consider it.
Several bills relating to Ramsey county
were passed under suspension of the
rules-authorizing the purchase of the
water works, the building and repair of
bridges at Seventh, Mississippi and Lafay-
cite streets, for the establishment of a
workhouse, and for the increase of the
sewerage fluids. Other House aud Senate
bills, none of them of special interest
were disposed Of

Our SHIPPING LdTS.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, is deserv-
ing of thanks for calling the attention of
the public once more to the almost total
humiliation of American commerce from
the high seas, and for suggesting anew
the only remedy that seems adequate for
the occasion. He ably supported bill
now before the Senate for the repeal of
the absurd law which prohibits American
citizens from owning or procuring an
American registration for any vessel built
in foreign lands Mr.. Beck exposed the
foolishness of the existing law-how it
had operated to destroy the ship-building
interests Of this country and to compel
our commerce to seek transportation in
the vessels of foreign nations. Our COM
mercial marine has dwindled to inslgnifi-
can't proportions, and our flag is seldom
seen in the ports of other countries. The
most insignificant nation of Europe can
proudest nation on the face of the globe,
and all because of the idiotic policy that
has been pursued for the past twenty
years by the government under Republi-
can domination.
If the principle that governs in the
matter CT ships is a correct one, why is
it not adopted in other matters! Why
are American citizens permitted to own
silk and laces, and jewelry and other
articles of foreign manufacture or pro-
duction2 Why are foreign citizens per-
mitted to obtain an American register for
themselves which invests them with all
the rights of citizenship 1t would be
quite as legitimate and quite as wise to
inhibit all property rights in anything
coming from abroad as to prohibit it in
ships.
The attempt to foster American ship
building and American commerce by the
means now in vogue has had more than a
fair trial, and it has proved lamentable
failure. Year after year our shipping
has decreased, until to-day there
are not dozen seaworthy American
vessels engaged in ocean transporta-
tion. We have a commercial marine
engaged in the coasting trade, but this is
Insignificant. 1t would seem as If it was
about time that the suicidal policy Of the
past was abandoned, and some common
sense exhibited in dealing with question
of such vital interest to our commercial
prosperity.

storm having delayed trains and prevent

went along very smoothly until general

important bills were laid aside for future
consideration, the senators having them
in charge not being present. The bill to
prevent quackery was numerically ridi-

The legislature proposes to go right
ahead with the Congressional apportion-
ment whether the bill re-districtlng the
country is passed by Congress or not. If
our wise Solons should pass an apportion-
ment bill before the 4th of March, and
Congress should adjourn without acting
on the pending bill, there might be a
question as to the constitutienality of the
action of the legislature. In such mat
tiers it would be wise to make haste
