Questions were asked by Fer nando Wood, chairman of the sub-committee, with the view of eliciting a com plete history of the company and a full explanation of the manner in which the lease of tho Seal Islands were procured and the manner of fulllillii Its obliga tions. Tlie explanations given by Uen. Miller covered all thu details of tlw busi ness. He hoped tlie committee would make a searching examination, and he would not conceal anything which the committee desired to know. The charges made agalttt the company wore malicious falsehoods. The committee listened at tentively and seemed well satisfied with the prompt and earnest answers of the wit ness, who de.iled that any improper in fluence bad been used in procuring the lease. PrselHBiittlmi frm Uov. Kelloarar. New Orleans, Feb. 25. Gov. Kellogg has issued a proclamation convening the Senate in extra session, to commence im mediately on the expiration of the pres ent regular session on Thursday, March 2d, and continue by and during the space of tea days for the purpose ot considering any executive or other business that may be brought before them, or lor the purpose of serving as a court of Impeachment If necessary. Tlie impression among Republicans seems to be that It was tlie purpose r the Uonse to prefer articles of impeachment against the Governor and Lieutenant Governor on the lt day of the session which would snspend them from office and leave the Speaker ot tlie House acting; Governor under tlie Constitution.

Much has been said as to the great wrong done mankind iu Kurope, and iu fact, throughout the whole world. by taking five or more millions of men rroui work and putting them into the rank of armies to be drilled and made automations for the purpose of killing each other in the service of their respective sovereigns. And many things have been eald and writ ten against the system and arguing In favor of a reduction. Hut where or "how to begin has been a troublesome question, one not easily answered. e see now that Auttria has sot the example. A committee of the Koielis- ratti lius passed a resolution in favor of the appointment of a special com mittee to consider the Question of re ducing the army and to ultimately propose an international Congress for the purpose of discussing the ques tion. Tills looks like a step in the di rection of reduction. ... This would seem to hulicaf e that at least the Austrian meiYibcrs of their National Legislature - do not antici pate war, for with that idea in pros ptict iu a near future they would hardly talk about a reduction of their army. That army consists of rom five to seven hundred thousand men perhaps more. She is flaaked by na tions Laving still larger armies. But as those three nations have been re ported as declining, by agreement of their three Emperors, that the peace of Europe must be maintained, it is difficult to see the necessity of still maintaining their vast armies. What a contrast our little army of twenty to twenty-five tnousaml men exhibits ! And yet our legislators iu Congress- some of them seemed determined to diminish the number of even those. Keally, the proposition to cut down our already dwindled forces appears as absurb as does the maintenance of the vast armies by the European Gov ernments. Alta. II KALI II IX' I. DWELI.ISIUS.

The State owe certain duties to dis charged oonvlota, which it baa never yet reooguized. Society refuses to ac cept the fulfillment of legal penalties as expiating crime. The punished criminal only leaves the penitentiary to enter upon a new career of suffer ing at the hands of the community. From the hour of bis discharge he is a marked man. The police keep track, of him, follow him, and systematically prevent him from obtaining honest employment, by cautioning employers against him. if he does not return to his old evil courses it will not be be cause either the State or the people have failed to drive him hell ward. When lie is discharged the State gives him three dollars, just enough to take him from Han Uue.u tin to Han Fran cisco, and make him drunk. Even if he keeps sober the pitiful sum will not subsist him two days, and unless he can go far enough away from hist, old haunts to escape recognition by the police it is in vain that be seeks work. It is aonsense to say that the State Is not responsible for the convict ' after he Is discharg-ed. The State is responsible for all that happens to him through its instrumentality and when a man is discbapged from prison with only $& In bis pocket, with a wretched suit of clothes stampine him as a convict, under a supervision fatal to his progress in securing an honest livelihood, the State Is re sponsible for whatever evil happens to him and the responsibility is demon strated by the fact that the State after all, Buffers' from the consequences of its own parsimony, snortsfgntedness and. inhumanity. A direct conse quence of the present state of things is irequent recommitments. id number of those who have served former terms in San Quentin is con- tinually increasing and there is every reason to expect that the proportion will continue to rise. ,10 obviate this evil the State should enable the con vict to accumulate a percentage of hi earnings while In prison as a fund for, his subsistence when discharged and be should be transported free of charger to some point sufficiently distant from lue neignDornooa oi nts crimes to give htm a fair prospector escaping; recognition. Such arrangements and precautions as these are indispensabU no matter wnat pians ot reiorm may be adopted for the future administra tion bf the prison; for the best penal system ever devised , will prove a la mentable iaiiure unless tne aiscnargeu prisoner is guarded from the cruel prejudices-of society ana enaDieu to subsist without crime until an oppor tunity can be found for obtaining; honest employment. . The system of allowing the convicts a percentage or what they earn has been hitherto shown to embrace one of the most ef fective reformatory, methods, and, therefore it is extremely desirable, that it should be adopted Into ouc. penal scheme. To provide in this way a fund for the outgoing prisoner, moreover, is preferable to making gift to bint front the General Treas ury. It is much better that at tbeT supreme moment or temptation, whan bo ia oalled upon to decide whether ho wiU goforwardPr back, be shouUi.bc every cent of which .' his own labor has earned, than be weakened by do nation which has all the demoralising- cnaraeter of an alms and is also too insignificant to furnish motives for eeonomy in tho majority of in stances: ' In short, what is .demanded Is that the State shoo Id be not gen erous; but lust to her punished ortnt inals and should act upon the- theory that the crime is attoned for wheu the penalty has been fulfilled.

So he bought three papers of carpet tacks one night and stood the innocent litle nails on their heads all the way up and down the stairs, and retired with his faithful followers to the wood closet above, to await results.
