Mail Irregularities

Within the past ten days we have
received numerous complaints from sub
scribeTs 10 Tdg DAILY CLARION, Of
their failure to receive the same. We
have only one answer: the fault is not
in this office, nor 10 the jackson post.

IN the distribution Of newspaper matter
on some Of the routes; and ii some
special agent Of the =. o. Department

Tho senate Committee on Peniten.
tiary end Prisons

Stripped Of All surplusage, the Report
f+lsbe Senate Committee on penitenti-
- and PrissNs makes the Following
points; 80
l. That the Governor and superinten-
dent OF the Penitentiary had no author
.iiyto cers.v;stsY tspfUvemerts - -
2. That II they had the power to con.
tract, no contracts were, 10 fact, made
and
3. That the prices paid under the
alleged contracts were exorbitant.
All else is matter Of inducement.
This report is endorsed by Messrs.
Boone (ehairman), Powell and Morris.
A minority Of the Committee Messrs
Binrord aud Casey offered sub.
stitute for the Committees report, in
which they say (l) that the Governor
and Superintendent were authorized to
contract; t2) that contracts we're made,
and CD that The prices paid were rea.
sonable and just.
To settle the differences between the
majority and the minority, a special
committee has been raised, on the
motion of Chairman Boone.
This represents the attitude of the
Ponitentiary question before the Senate
at this time
The report Of the Committee, which
we will call the majority report, bases
its conclusion that the Governor and
Superintendent are without power to
contract, on the repeal Of section Of
the Act OF January 81, 1877, which au.
thorized contracts for improvements not
to exceed in the aggregate the entire
amount paid by said lessees during said
lease, together. with the amount .now
EthenI authorized by law" tthe amount
authorized by law at that time being
$2500O); and they find no warrant for
such contracts in the Act of March Is
1854, sasing that said Act only author
lies the Superintendent TO contract for
repairs and does not authorize any con.
tract to be made for inlprouemenisn The
language Of the Ac, Of March IS, 1884,
thus construed by the majority, is as fol-
lows:
Sse. :. Be Il further enacted, That
in case Of an accident to the penitentiary
buildings, or any necessary repairs OF
improvements actually needed, the Su, |
psrinteudent of the Penitentiary NAV
contract for such repairs, with the |
approval Of the Governor. Upon the
presentation of an itemized account of
such expenditures. approved by the
Governor, to the Auditor of Pablic
Accounts, II shall be his duty TO draw
his pay warrant upon the Treasurer for
the same, which shall be paid out of the
funds derived from the lease Of the Pen
itentiary.
The minority eonstrue this language

blade that cut the si!ken cushion. Adams
felt surs that the fellow was either saint or

envoy's love for mankind was SO great that
he could not bear the thought Of hostility
between the Americans and the Barbary
States, and he suggested that everything
might be happily arranged for million
dollars or so. Adams thought it better to
fight than TO pay tribute. Il would be
cheaper in the end, as we'll rs more manly.
at the same time, it was better economy to
paw million dollars at once than waste
many times tbo, SUN in war risks and loss
of trade. But Congress could do neither
