aud fine prospect for more. The stuck
IL all in good condition and SO is the
crop. The overseer maintains good dis
olpline ana his treatment il as mild as
possible to maintain obedience from the
prisoners.
We found about 20 prisoners on the
farm, there being division since tie
road work began. We saw the food
served to than for supper, and learned
from them that Mr., Gates fed them well
and also worked them well. FIR m
what we saw, wo would say
that II Is not place OF punish
ment TO one accustomed to hard
work, except so far as the humility may
go and the stigma to ones character.
We recommend tho painting Of the
houses and the building of new ones,
AID more commodious ones in tho near
future, especially for the paupers. We
also recommend the removal of GRAVY
people from the farm and Jail 10 Terrell
as soon az arrangements can ba made
ana II such an arrangement cannot be
made, then wo recommend the building
at the farm of II suitable house for them.
The prisoners at the farm are sleeping
on the prison floors. We recommend
that beds, cots or mattresses loo fur
nished. We recommend that some
change be made in the bell of the court
house clock so that the SOUND
may be heard 1t Il greater distance.
Having completed our labors, we re.
spectfully ask to DO excused from
further session. Respectfully,

Taking Prncnnfinns

WASHINGTON, June IL. 49, Among q
number OF suggestions made to the sec
retaiy of the treasury designed to pre-
vent any repetition OF the recent defsl.
cations at the New Orleans sub-treasury
is one which proposes to reduce the
amount of government money st that
point from about SlS,0O0,OOO, TO ! j, 0OO,O
and to distribute 1t among the various
National and State banks of New
Orleans as deposits, upon their giving
appropriate security in government
bonds, to be deposited in the United
States Treasury at Washington. This
plan, as submitted to the secretary,
refers only to New Orleans, although
evidently the purpose of its originators
seems to contemplate its extension to
another sub-treasury, if it should be
adopted and prove satisfactory at New
Orleans. No actlen has as yet been
taken on this proposition or upon any
OF the other suggestions above re-
ferred to, but they are all under consid-
GRAFTON.
The secretary OF the treasury to-day
directed that tho purchase Of silver
bullion for coinage into standard dol
lars by the superintendent Of the minis
at San Francisco and Carson City be
discontinued. After this day the coin
age of standard dollars is to be confined
TO the other mints. The treasury de-
partment to-day purchased 2l0,00C
ounces OF silver FOR this purpose, for
the New Orleans mint.
