TWO SPECIES OF CRIMINALS. The Vagabonds, and "the Pretty Walter C Iris "-The Polio Re ports of This City and New York Contracted-Operations of our Vagrant Detectives The Haunts of Crime. dancing to have upon our table at the eame tiara the annnal reports of the Philadelphia and New York .Police Department, wo are Induced to Institute a comparison, for the purpose of showing the extent of vagrancy and actual rime In the two metropolises. The result will be found to be highly favorable to the credit of our city, comparatively speaking. Speaking positively, there is considerable room yet for Improvement in our morals and character, as the facta about to be recorded in brief will show. There are two kinds of criminals, who consti tute distinct species of themselves, and a consi dcrailon of whose character will give us as full an insight as necessary into the inciplcncy of criminal life. The first class are the professional vagabonds, vho, for the most part, are males, as dissipated as they arc lazy. The second clas ol transgres eore are females, included in the general title ol "pretty waiter girl:." As the figures will show, our city is far less aflT.lctcd with vagrancy at the present time than in former years, but whether this bo owin? to a better police system, an improved management of onr charitable institutions, or to an actual decrcaso of destitution among the lower classes, 5JC are unable to say. For a long time the swarms of begpnra in our midst were almost intolerable; they entered dwellings and oihcc3 through every chink, and it they could not find an opening in the doorway large enough for their admission, they did not always ecruple to make one. In these latter days, peo ple are annoyed comparatively little, except by -vendors of small wares. Occasionally there is an application from some tatterdemalion with a red nose, who points to hl3 forlorn appearance as an evidence of great misfortune aDd conse quent misery; but these seedy individuals are careful to give the police a wide berth, other wise they might spend the night ia a Station House, in penbive mcditat'ons. Facing the night in a Station House, however, ia not such a terrible ordeal for a thorough, in grained vagrant, and if this were the only pun laiiiicnt, itv. ould prove a most ineffectual check upon the system. Cut successive admissions to the Station House are restricted to a certain number. One who applies too olten is Bet down as a professional vagabond, vagrant, or confirmed inebriate, and is committed to prison for thirty days. Sometimes a task is assigned him, while in a majority of instances he passes his time iu idleness. Although vagrancy has decreased fifty per cent, over former years, yet there are thou sands of this worthless class in our midst who should be provided tor in some way. Turning to our police statistics lor the past six jnonhs, we find the following summary of arrests by the "Vagrant Detectives" : Arrests in July 4S " August 32 " tepicmbor 40 ' Outot.tr 85 " November 87 " Dcceuibtr 80 Total for six months 222 The total number of arrests for all offenses in this city, in the six months just closed, was 3740, ao that about seven per cent, of those arrested were " vagrants " homeless, shelterless wretches, ''without any viiiblo means of sup port" The vagrant system, and the kindred annoy ' ance of street-begging, although less obtrusive than in past years, are still nuisances worthy of abatement. We hold to the opinion that the easiest and most feasible plan to adopt in our city is the one started several years since the establishment of a house of correction. When this is lone and not till then, will vagrancy entirely lisappear. In connection with this subject, there are eome "words fitly spoken" in the report of the Managers of the Home Missionary Society, read at the anniversary on the 24th of last December. This simple paragraph, which we quote, will serve to point the moral of the entire story: "Idleness and intemperance are the fruitful sources of at least three-tourths of the poverty and crime in our city. The first is greatly en couraged and fostered by that abominable prac tice street-begging. And the Managers earnestly urge upon all to discountenance it iu every wav, sib hardly one in ten of these street beggars is worthy of the alms they implore. In fact, it is a reeu'lar trade with the great bulk of them, and chanty bestowed upon them is not only wasted. Imtit servps to increase and encourage idleness and vice. Intemperance, however, is a more gigantic and appalling evil, and one which it eems impossible to stop, so long as the business of rum-selling is considered at all legitimate and respectable. Indeed, it can only be restrained in its devastating and soul-destroying progress vhcn that nelarious business becomes so dis reputable and criminal in the iudgment of the public mind that none but the most hardened and wicked of men can have the boldness to en unce in it. This Society does wbat it can to rescue the poor victims of this bad business, and 1he Managers leel thanklui that its effort in thi9 direction, althouirh, necessarily limited, have not all been spent in vain." The waiter girl nuisance has likewise been materially abated in this city within a few years, There is one establishment, on Chestnut street, below Fourth, professedly a restaurant, where from ten to fifteen younjj women of attractive appearance are empioyeu as "waiters." U a customer enters, ho is asked to sit down by a table, and finds himself tete-a-lete with a very sociable denioiselle. lie is asted it he is a etranger in the city. If he replies in the negative, lie is generally fortunate enoutrh to get oif with treating the ladies "all round." Otherwise he tstands a good chance of being inveigled, by his .ldooming attendant, into an appointment to meet her at some iuturo "trysting time." In Chetnut street, between Third and Sixth, there are three or four saloons of the same character; and there are perhaps a dozen low concert ealoonsin the city, where, if females of improper character are not employed as waiters, as in former years, they are at least encouraged to conenecato and hold their seances; and whero assignations are made. The evil is of New York birth, and merely Philadelphian by adoption; while it is a matter for pride and congratulation, that, in our staid tad respectable city, Its proportions are yearly dimlaUhins, a the result of a wholesome public aentiment The concert saloons were first established in New York, four or five years ago, as we learn from the Police Commissioners' report 'Their attractions were music, aban doned women, and intoxicating drinks. They were very attractive to certain claseee of men, who were not yet totally ruined, and were re torted to by many who wore just entering upon a course of fata) dissipation. The public mind was aroused, and a law passed to suppress them. The effect of the law was evaded by discontinu ing the musical entertainment. The continued success of the saloons after the concerts were .discontinued proved that intoxicating drink and low women were a sufficient attraction without the aid of rouni. After this modification, not being amenable to the 'Concert Saloon Law,' they have multiplied and flourished, while their Influcnco and tendency promise to be more and more deplorable." These facts show tne differ ence in moral character of Philadelphia and New York. Here th nuisance is dying. In Kew York it has taken a new lease of life, and "flourishes like a green bay tree." Jf f urther commentary were needed upon the laxity of New York morals, we have it in the following table, showing the number of drinking places where young and comely prostitutes are employed nominally as waiters, the estimated number of vlstors each twenty-four h jurs, and the amount of receipts tor each week Precincts.

Philadelphia has barely one-tenth as many outcasts In the same shameless occupation. Still, the matter should nit ret with self gratulation. The two criminal systems of vagabondage and pretty waitcr-girlism'yet have existence with us are productive of much evil, and ought to be broken up by legal enactments. W e have classed the t wo schools of vice together, and considered them tosrother, because they are kith and kin of one another, If there were not 60 many low saloons, wlih vicious females as their chief "attraction, there would be fewer men led aside from the wa.vs of soberness Tinto paths ofJidlencBB and dissipation. And on the other baud, if there were fewer ditsipated and aban doned men, the abandoned women known as pretty waiter-girls would find their occupation gone. , Concerning the vaera.it?, a new device ha3 been employed in London, which we might turn to some account, designed to reach exactly this clasa of customers. Thi3 law recognizes the Idea that every person actually destitute is entitled to relief; but for the hid given a com pensation in labor must be returned, so far as practicable. Accordingly, workhouses are esta blished, in which Vagrants and others thrown on the public charge are tempoiarily employed; and the sjstcm appears to work well. In this way a wholesome restraint is put upon those who depend on charity rather than earn a sub sistence. Concerning the pretty waiter girls, the Legis lature should take cognizance of the matter more particularly than it has hithereto done. If a measure embodying the following' features could be adopted it would be of most salutary advantage to our city: 1. That o concert saloon shall be allowed to exist in this State which employs girls to wait upon cus tomers. 2. That in no place where music is used in any way, shall girls be employed by the establishment to sit among the audience. 3., Thnt in no drinking-saloon of any kind shall females be publicly employed. 4. That dance- houses must not be tolerated by the police. If these reforms can ever be inaugurated (and we are sufficiently Utopian to believe they can be) Philadelphia may claim to rank asMte model city of the world for morality androod order.
