THE NEW ORLEANS EXHIBITION.

The Exhibition Not a luecese to Jan. 9th.

From a personal letter of Peter Valiton,Esq., dated New Orleans, Jan. 9, we makethe following extracts :

I arrivel here a week ago yesterday. Thefurther South I came the poorer I found thetraveling accommodations. From Cairo herethe country traveled through is uninterest-ing. The first few days after my arrival werecold any rainy. In the dirtiest city I haveever seen, with poor hotel accommodationsand devoid of the better class of amusements,the first impression was unfavorable. Butthe last three have been like our summerdays in Montana. I have spent two days atthe Exposition, and have been greatlydisap-pointed. Not more than half of the antici-pated exhibits are displayed, and some de-partments have nothing as yet. Our neigh-bor,Washington Territory, has only a bird's-eye view of Tacoma and Seattle. Montanais better off, but has not a great deal outsideof the ore exhibit. Colonel Shoup, in chargeof the Idaho department, has a fine display.Colorado and Wyoming are on our rightwith grand displays. Idaho to our left andKansas on our front with their fine exhibitsmake ours look small. Very little has yetbeen done with the galleries for the exhibitof ladies' work and the different branchesof Instruction. The Government and someof the Western States have fine displays.This is in what is known as "the Govern-ment Building." The other buildings, forthe exhibit of private manufactures, are fur-ther advanced. I have not yet visited theMexican building or Floral Hall. Thegrounds are not completed, and are muchneglected. These could easily have beenmade very attractive to people from theNorth. The management is charged withlack of ability, and it is certain it has not re-ceived the moral or financial support fromthe people of this city which an undertakingof this character and magnitude should havehad. They are so few visitors from the citythat the fact is universally noticed. You willsee from newspaper articles the financial em-barrassments under which the Managers arelaboring. It is predicted the Expositionwill be a failure, but I do not think so, hithe Commissioners from other States andTerritories will not permit it, and will makeit a success yet.

There is much complaint from visitors inthe city regarding extortionate prices. Pricesare double here what they are elsewhere.The departures equal the arrivals, so the ho-tels have plenty of room, and posters "ToL.t" can be seen every few steps on thestreets. I will visit the cemetery this after-noon, it is said to be the finest sight here.

We would advise all purchasers toprocure their catalogue before buying.

The committee appointed to work up theproject of a public library, established on apermanent basis, had a final meetallg lastFriday evening. While 82,000 or perhaps53,000 might have been obtained, it was notfound practicable to raise $6,000, the leastamount it was estimated, would be sufficientto establish an institution that would endure.It has been deemed best by them, therefore,not to attempt a halfway enterprise thatwould be in a constant struggle for existence,but to defer farther action for the present.The time will come when our substantialcitizens whose mutual and generous actionis necessary to accomplish this matter willsee the desirability of taking vigorously bollof the project and it will be accomplished.

TYE UITEX-D RATA? PENINTETIAZY.

SAppp tqi•a tho.P ranet aA-

From the I•depeadet, 10th.We cheerfully publish the following state-

meat which Mr. Botbin thinks neeeseary toprevent any misapprehension, in referenceto where the responsibility has for the failureof the needed appropriation for the Peniten-tiary :

Dsas BSi: The Independent's remarksabout the Penitentiary this morning will becoestrued as a reflection on me, whether theywere meant to be or net. The plans andspecifications of the building were on file atWa-hington and were not in the possessionor within access of the U. 8. Marshal. Icould only represent from time to time thenecessity of an appropriation, and this [ didwithenut ceasing. At last $15,000 was appro-priated and put Into the hands of GovernorCro.by to be exp- tded. Be thereupon spentit in building a bandsome ofice for the U. 8.Marshal-for which I eught to be very grate-ful-elegant dormitories for the guards, etc.The money is gone, and the capacity forprisoners is not increased by one cubic inch.

A. C. BorTnx.

Helena Herald, 16th.

It is a very easy matter to lay offences atthe door of one who is away. In the matterof the Penitentiary ex-Governor Crosby ischarged with perverting the appropriationmade by the last Congress. As we under-stand the matter it stands thus: The plansfor the Penitentiary were made by the gov-ernment architect, with estimates of cost.Beyond all doubt, the plans and estimatesare in his office now. According to that plan,as we have always understood it, there wasto be a central portion for a Marshal's officeand guarda' room, and two wings for prison-ers. Only one wing was built first. Withthe last appropriation of $15,000 only, we un-derstand the central portion as originallyplanned has been erected. It strikes us thatthis was absolutely necessary, before theother wing could be put up. Else therewould have been two disconnected wings,not a very easy, safe or sensible thing. Wedo not suppose Gov. Crosby was left any dis-cretion in the matter, but that he expendedthe money according to the plan and order.

As considerable, if not all, the responsibil-ity for the application of the $15,000 appro-priated for the continuance of work on theUnited States Penitentiary at Deer Lodgeproperly rests on James H. Mills, throughthe fact of his views thereon havingobeen so-licited and his recommendations in every in-stance approved by Governor Crosby andActing Governor Tooker, we wish to assumethe same fully, so far as we can, and if anycensure is bestowed by any one so-licit that it be diverted to where it belongs-upon the writer. And, as the matter of in-creased incarceration facilities has been re-ferred to by Go evernor Carpenter in his Mes-sage to the Legislature, and is properly amatter for legislative consideration as well asof interest to the public generally, we takethis opportunity to give a review of thematter.

We believe it was in 1868 that an appropri-ation of $45,000 was diverted by the UnitedStates from the Internal Revenue collectionsof Montana for the purpose of building aUnited States Penitentiary for Montana. Bylegislative enactment it was located at DeerLodge and grounds therefor were deeded tothe United States. The plans and specifica-tions therefor were prepared by the gov-ernment architect and forwarded here. Theseoriginal plans provided for a building asfollows :

Proposed CentralWing. iBuld Old Wing.

-L~.i ng.

(1). Wings each 70 feet 2 inches by 44 feet 4inches and 30 feet 9 inches high, and built asone story. (2). Central building, 33 feet 6 in-ches by 49 feet and 44 feet high, to be in threestories and basement. The wings were tocontain cells for incarceration; the centralbuilding to be for warden's office, guards'rooms, dining room, heating apparatus, etc.All exterior walls of stone, two feet thick,cells of brick or stone; all buildings coveredwith tin, etc. But one of the above divisionswas originally erected, (and that not com-pleted), the same being the wing designatedby the black rule. The central building, des-ignated by parallel rule, is the one now incourse of construction, and the dotted linesindicate the south wing necessary to in-crease incarceration facilities. In this con-nection it is proper to state that the "origi-nal plans" did not include iron gratings forany of the upper windows of the wings, (anabsolute necessity for security); that theupper windows were subsequently iron-grated, and additional necessary iron workput in the interior, the entire appropriationsand expenditures for building, up uutil June,1884, being, as stated to ns, 07.,000. Thenorth wing was designed to have three tiersof cells, with fourteen cells in each tier.Only two of these tiers were built, making

28 cells in all, which, with temporary woodenbuildings within the enclosure, is all the in-carceration facilities there have ever been,and the number of convicts at one time hasreached as high as 122. This building be-lengs to, and is offcoered and controlled by,the United States, the Governor of the Terri-tory, on behalf of the Territory, contractingwith the United States Marshal, on behalf ofthe United States, for the incarceration ofTerritorial convicts therein at so much perman per day.

The appeal of the people of Montanathrough the press, grand Juries, and oficialshas been continuous of late years for thecompletion of this building, or so muchthereof as would afford secure and humaneincarceration of all Territorial convicts, butwithout avail until last year when DelegateMaginnis secured an item in the appropria.tion bill appropriating $40,000 for the com-pletion of the building "aocordlng to theoriginal plans,"-"to be erpesded ader thedirection and general supervision of the Goo-erar of Montana." Incidentally it may beremarked here, and this is all that need besaid to show the animas of the dissent inwhich be lndulges himself, that UnitedStates Marshal Bokin was then con-testinga the seat of Delegate Maglanis anCongress and that Marshal Botkin and Geoverner Crosby were not then, and arenot now, on amicable terms. When the 40,-000 appropriation came up for oonsiderationin the House, some controversy was raised inwhich the estimated cost of completing thebuilding was called for, and pending which,if we reollect aright, Delegate Maginnis an-Imadverted on Marshal Botkln not havinrfurnshed etimates, sad as application tothe Depeasment resulted in a report there-frome that no etimates bad reaebed it. Theappropriation was out dowa from ~48,000 to$15,000, n1 whMih form t passed sd becamea law JulyT. 10.

they made the laspectien, digging to thefonadaton of the walls in several places, andreported to the Governor, over their signa-tares, as follows:

"While we believe the tiers of cells a at"prment bilt, with the strengthening wesuggest, may stand with safet for some'ears, we mo decidedly of t opinion"tat t woeld not beset to erect eon

"m Oher addtooaal tier of edls, requiring"nearly 90,000 brick beside heavy iron work,"aor to materially increase the present"weight on the cell foundations as they are."

The proposition to increase the incarcers-tson capacity by that method was thereforenecessarily abandoned, unless it should havebeen persisted in with reckless disregard forthe lives of convicts in the face of the aboveofficial report.

While the erection of the central building,with its deep basement walls, it being reallythe main building with the wings projectingon shallow foundations, was the eminentlyproper method of continuing the construc-tion of the building as contemplated by the"original plans," Governor Crosby was sodesirous of securing additional incarcerationfacilities, notwithstanding the third tier ofcells could not be built, that investigationwas immediately directed to that object withreference to the south wing. The seasonwa late; the only first-class rock quarriesare in the mountains, twelve or fourteenmiles distant from Deer Lodge, and trans-portation was liable to be shut off by snowand bad weather. As aspreliminary measurean estimate was secured of the amount ofrock necessary to construct the south wing,and after due publication of invitation forproposals to quarry, transport and deliverthe same, the contract was awarded for 1,000perch (the necessary amount) of Caribourock, which was promptly delivered as con-tracted.

Investigation then developed the followingfacts: That the "original plans" did not in-clude iron gratings in any but the lower win-dows, and that gratings had subsequently tobe put on all the windows of the old wing ata vastly increased expense and to the injuryof the walls; that the sanitary constructionof the old wing according to "original plans"had been condemned in their reportsby Dr. C. G. Glass, prison physician,under appointment by Marshal Botkin, andby Dr. C. K. Cole, Inspecting Physician forthe Territory. And further, no estimatecould be obtained of any contractor to erectthis wing, defective and incomplete as theplans were, and put in any cells for the ap-propriation. The lowest estimate made forfurnIshing the material and merely erectingthe exterior walls and central supportingwall and covering it in, according to theoriginal plans, was $14,000, without any cellsor the necessary upper window or Interioriron work whatever. This would have fur.nished the mere shell of a building, and onplans necessitating continued constructionafter an additional appropriation should beobtained, with the same sanitary defects asthe old wing; it would have resulted in twoisolated wings, necessitated the demolitionor removal of one or more of the occupiedlog buildings in the beginning of winterwithout even supplying anything in theirplace when the expenditure would be com-pleted; it would leave the guards in scat-tered quarters remote from either wing, andit would have been a method of constructionof such a structure any builder would disap-prove.

Proposals were therefore invsited by advertisement, as heretofore mentioned, for theconstruction of the central building, and itwas awarded by acting Governor Tooker toMcDevitt & McConnell, of Butte, at a figurefalling inside the appropriation, the.nextlowest bid being some thousand dollars inexcess. The building is now nearly com-pleted, and while we believe the contractorsfeel rather proud of their work, we ventureto say that neither they nor the rock con-tractor would duplicate their contracts at thesame figures. The central building is anessential part of the originally designedstructure. It contains, beside the basementcompartments, fifteen rooms for occupancyand use by the Waraen and guards, and givesthem full control over one or both wings.We do not knew of any portion of it beingdesigned for a "Marshal's office," or anyoccason there would be therefor. It is builtwith projecting bond walls to receive thesouth wing, if constructed, and there are nowpiled ap on the grounds, and paid for, over400 ofthe 1,000 perch of rock required for thewing,there being that excess after the cen-tral building walls were laid. It will cost$25.0(0 to properly build the south wing, and$5,000 to 58,000 more to provide proper heat-ing facilities and adequate protection fromfire; the $15,000 would, at best, have onlybuilt the shell. If the U. S. Governmentseesproper to complete the structure as contem-plated, the construction so far is necessaryand la the right direction; if it does not pro-pose to co .,plete the structure, then this cen-tral building is infinitely better than the in-complete and useless walls of an isolatedwing. Estimates for the south wing havenow been placed in the hands of DelegateMaginnis, and the defects of the "originalplans" have been represented to the Depart-ment. Delegate Maginnis, when here, con-curred in what had been done and expressedhis belief that the necessary appropriationto complete the building could and would beobtained. The building can be put up, readyfor occupancy, in four summer months, andthe reserve of rock on hand will enable im-mediate operations when the contract is let.

We have thus, at length, related such factsof this transaction as seems necessary toshow Governor Crosby's connection with it;to show his desire to increase the locarcera-tive capacity, and why it could not be done;to set forth why what has been done wasdone, and have merely to add that the writerrecommended these things after as thoroughinvestigation and as much care as he woulddevote to his personal matters; that the re-sult approves every step that has been taken ;that he is conafident it will meet the full ap-proval of every competent and unprejudicedperson who investigates it, and that he be-lieves the work will commend itself in Judi-ciousness of procedure, in economy, excel-fnene and durability of construction to all fair-minded men. If any wrong did exist in thismatter it should be laid at our door, and notat that of Governor Crosby, who we aversought energetictally and diligently to do thebest that could be done under the circum-stanes.
