THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1869. nrnw yorkisms. from Our Own CbrretpondmL NrwYork, Fob. 1 188). TUB rKKITBNTi OF LtJDI.OVT BTRKBT. Were the question asked, "Have we t Mar sbaisea amongst ns?" Echo, that . Infallible ora. cle, would reply, "We halve." It Is known as Ludlow Street Jail; Its locality Is 'Immediately In the rear of the EBeex Market Tollce Court, and lu Inhabitants are debtors, who, like all debtors, are In various stages of ponltence. I I rfoubt not they would all pay If they oould, and not being able to accomplish liquidation they make themselves as happy as possible In the home their penury has btought them to That home does not much resemble a prism1 You might pasH the place once n day all you' lifetime, without 1U once ociuri lng to you that scores of human belngH, with capacities for en Joyment equal to your own, were looked up there, had been locked hp for years, would be looked up the remainder of their natural lives, Haveihcy committed murder, arson, or bur glary In any ot their degrees? Are they sutler lng from any form ot Ipanuity? Are they offenders awaiting requisitions from the Gov ernors of other Blateb? Are tv "Hocuses detained for a proHpectlvo trial, always auiut to occur and always deferred? No, they are noue Of these things. They are simply debtors. Ti.ey are convicted of the fearful crime of owln, What they cannot pay. These ruflUns, thess worse than thieves and pickpockets, thesa des. perate reprobates from e very thing that Is honest and good, are therefore pronounced unfit to associate with the rest of the world ! In committing the crime of Insolvency, thry have committed the crime that lnth never for giveness, cither in this world or the next, so far as creditors are concerned. They have oll'ended against tho laws of Wall street, to whose in flexibility those of the Medes and I'erstans are as nothing. Therefore they crowd LuJlow Street Jail, within hearlnx of the scutenoos pronounoed from the JuJgo'a desk of Essex Market Toltce Court. Under the SUerlfTs lock and key they pass, In many cases, the prime of life. Imprisoned at thirty, Death, tho great liberator, releases the prematurely-bowed form at fifty. The convict, sentenced for life, bids a no more certain adieu to the outside world. When ho enters his cell at the State Prison, than the prisoner for debt does, when the Bborlfl puts the thumb-screws on him, and be beoomes transformed Into one ot the penitents of Luil low street A visit tb Ludlow Ktreet Jail is not a cheerful Visit, altbongU some facetious remarks are made, and the prisoners do not parade their penitence In a very ostentatious or cheerful manner. They are divided Into several grades, and the obeeifulneus oi the grades decreases as Von descend lrom. the highoHi. Tue highest grade comprehends about one lour l h the whole number of prisoners, say fifteen or sixteen. They are pen items, not so poor but what they might easily be worse off, as is seen at once by comparing ihem with the grades beneath them. Each has a room to himself, the dimensions of which are large enough to swing a cat in, Not, as Mr.Dlck,ln"I)aviu Copperflold," lellol tously remarks, that any one warns to swin; a cat, but that the expression has become a popular and picturesque symbol of measure ment, bach of these apartments isabout eight or nine feel square. It Is f urulshed wlih a bod, a table, and two cuairs. In most cases in all cases where they are Insisted on a mirror and a "wardrobe" are also provided. Three meals a day are also to be engaged at the table d'hote. They are belter than might be expected, though not as good as the rnoreluxurlous debtors may have been accustomed to when they Inhabited brown -stones, and were ioutted up to with respect aa the pillars of Influential churches. The ateak Is not perhaps poi terhouse, and none but a New York boarding-house keeper would be able to tell from what portion of the sheep the mutton-chops were acquired. The collie and ten, too, would have tnrown tho "Special Agent" of the World Into testacies, and the odor of trichina spiralis may oe or may not be exhaled from the pork. Hat the souo that Is lurnisned twe or three times a week is said to be uncommonly good, and the favorite Dividing lor Hunday is of the kind known as "rolypoly," with rat-pberry jam as the sweet ingredient. For this fare and such a room as I have de scribed, from twonty-tlva to thirty dollars per week Is charged, payable In advance. Theoish system is aliogeluer adopted. The Sberlll'and his deputies find It lsihe only one that will pay. There Is a peculiar atmosphere about ' debtors that prevents their ever being trusted, oven when under lock and key. Those who constitute what may be called the t second grade of prisoners sit at the same tablo ' and eat of the same dishes as those constituting the first. Their sleeping accommodations, how- . ever, are materially curtailed. Tnere would not be room to swing even a kitten in them, Two debtors sleep not only In one room, but in one bed, and the truth of the proverb mat Eoverty makes one acquainted with strange edfellows is put to tho utmost test. A bed, with the accompaniments of shoots, pillows. etc., such as they are, is all that any one of these rooms, appropriated to prisoners of the . second grade, contains. The ooou pants have " to wash themselves along with the canaille ' and do other ollloes of the toilet imrrories. For tbese luxuries and privileges a weekly charge of from fifteen to twenty dollars is made. All "extras" are extra paid for. Cigars, tobacco, , whiBky, beer, are not foroldden, and the peul . tents are supplied either by their friends or by . coming down with the stamps and the price of spirituous and malt liquors inside Ludlow t Ktreet Jail is not cheaper man out. It will readily be believed thin those who are able to pay neither thirty nor fifteen dollars per week, and have to take np with the fare and the accommodations which the prison provides, are not very amiable. Fetid rooms are crowded (with squalid-looking beds, and In these the gaunt, unwashed denizens huddle together with scarcely room to turn. About one half are unable to contribute anything towards their support, and will remain In this loathsome bondage all Hie long. The fare fur nished there is Uitle better than oonvlot fare: Indeed, tbeconvlels In many prisons are better provided for In every way. If the entirely moneyless debtor of Ludlow Street Jail has enough to eat and drink to hold life comfortably together, he has learned to be content. The thirty and flf'.een-dollar nabobs are looked to. with a resoect little short of reverenoe. Among them all ranks of men onoe rich or well to do are represented. Among tnesuperior privileges they enjov Is that of walking out. ;of course l lie j Hra mwnja puihiujruicu vy n tieputy-sherlfl', and tho depmy-sberitf, like any other good thing, must be ta'.d for. There is hardly any limit to what the penitents of Luu lnw street are allowed to do. provided they pay enough for it. To attend a ruaUiwee, to visit tne theatre, to lounge In a fashionable billiard uinnn. to attend obnroh. and to exhort at the noonday prayer-meeting, are a few of these nnvileiteti. Hut tbe deputy-sheriff dogglug at Li. hnuTa la an inevitable ntilnultv. You meut him evi-ry where, and his sleek looks give evi dence that bis perquisites are not beneath con tAtnnt. At the best, the life of a Ladlow-sireet penitent cannot be called a Joyous one. Tne sun shines for nim, but It is as through a piece nri.iirnt itiana. Still mat Is better than no sun at all. Ludlow Street Jail Is a New York ism, wlTch neltber the sheriff nor his deputies would ilngly let die. Ali Baua. MUSICAL AJKD DRAMATIC. The City Amusements.
