tion In the commitments of females la laig.
ThTe may be considered as fairly attributable to
t?".Z.i nnnnmnnKlatlon (or female pri
soners which has been afforded durln
r..r vnar. by tbe transfer to
."if" AlMJr. of the prison of the
bnlldtaB foimerly known as te Debtors' Apart,
iaent. adjoining the prison. Forty two oelN.
by this addition, and by an extension which
eonneoted It with the old prison, were added to
tbe female department of the prison. 1 ne sepa
ration of female prlsoners.whlch was thns made
attainable, and the Improved means for the eu
foroement of prison rules and discipline, which
were secured, have borne their proper fruits in
marked diminution oi vagrancy and crime In
the female population of our city.
"A comparison of tbe condition of the female
department at the close of the years 18B7 and
M8, respectively. Is gratifying. The whole
number ol prisoners In the female department,
including tbe tried and untried, vug-rants,
drunkards, etc., on meoist, or ueoemoer. ioo,
was 104. On t be slut of December, ma, tue num
ber was 12b; and on prevloas occasions It bad
risen muob higher once to 280. In connection
with tbe improved condition of the female de
partment may be mentioned also the import
ant iMCt, which will be found recorded In tbe
nhvslclan'a report, that the oasea re
ported to bim for treatment in this
department were ten hundred and twenty, two
Irss during the year 186$ than during the year
1H07. WHu these results, sanitary as well as
moral, which have attended au improvement
In the accommodations In one department of
the prison, a strong argument is certainly pre
sented In favor of an extension of the inuoa
more important and overcrowded department
which Is devoted to males.
"Toe incapacity of the prison for the proper
confinement and employment of Its large popu
lation demands tbe serlons attention of the
authorities of our 8tte and city. In every point
of view, not only sanitary and moral, but aUa
economical, the injurious eli'ecis of its over
crowded condition are manifest. The results
of improved accommodation in the female
department have strikingly shown that the
growth of crime and vagrancy Is directly
stimulated by tbe undue oongregatloa of
SrUoners. Tbe separate system, of wbloh the
tateot Pennsylvania has been so long consi
dered the especial advocate, has been aban
doned In every department of tbe prison, and
even in the convict corridors, two, three, and
even four prisoners are placed together In a
single cell. Tbe Board feels that this subject
now Imperatively demands earnest considera
tion; and that either the extension of the con
vict block s.or tbe construction of a new prison,
1b a necessity that con be no longer overlooked.
The establishment of a House of Correction,
however desirable, would not relieve the crowd
ed slate of the oonvlot oells. And, in the opin
ion of the Board, alter long consideration of the
subject In all its aspects, a House
oi Correction forvagranlsnuddrunkardsshoa Id
coDS'liute a department of the prison. Its
construction might go hand in hand with the
extension of the prison, and would thus be
greatly economlzed.while Its future connection
wiih tbe management of tbe prison would ob.
viate the ubneoessary multiplication of offi
cials, and would facilitate tbe working of two
co-ordinate branches of the same service The
board has Been no reason to change the
opinion expretsed in the last report, that tne
lot known as the Parade Ground, contiguous to
the prtson, would be a very suitable location
for ibese purposes. The large outlay wnicn the
purchase or any other sultablegroundinvolves

In attempting the correclon ot the starn'.g
eonstqneuoes which are traoeaMa 'o intempe
rance. Prohibition has not been found to reach
the evil. But it is oertainly the duty
of authority to place checks and
restraints upon tbe temptations to
cilme; and some modification of the present
wholesale and unbridled license law may well
beasktdof the legislature. Of the prisoners
committed for trial during the year 1868 (7121),
W72 were discharged by the Committing Magls
tratta, and 660 by the Grand Jnry ignoring the
bills of Indictment against them. These figures
show that nearly iwelve-lhlrieeni.ua of tbe
whole number committed certainly a most
startling proportion were discharged without
being brought to trial. During the year 1887,
though tbe figures were large (out of 6198 com
mitments. 4252 having been discharged without
being brought to trial, or about lour-fifths): yet
they are now fearfully Increased. A truly
enormous aggregate of commitments for un
necessary or trivial causes la thus presented.
That many of them famish Instances of oppres
sion and persecution,-which are discreditable
to the administration of criminal Justloe
among ns, cannot be doubted; and a great re
form la needed in onr present system of magis

"Money was easy at 7 per cent, on call. At
the close balances were left at 6 per cent, in
order to make two days 'interest. Commercial
paper remains unchanged at 70 per cent, for
prime itamea. There la lesa disposition to
borrow money on time, now that there will be
no quarterly bank: statement In April, and the
eaaler tone of the market la due to the fact
that lenders are not holding tbe money to

had not said this or anything else on that occa
sion, and although be ougnt perhaps to feel
grateful for tbe kindness of newspaper correa
poudenta in occasonaily Inserting speech ea for
bim, yet he could not be thankful for silly or
insane ones like these, because lie could make
enough of sucn himself. (Laughter.)
Mr. Cameron also denied tbat he bad made

Mr. Hnmner moved to proceed to the con
sideration or ine bin granting a pension of
uuuu nuuuHiiy i9 jura, ljinooin, widow of the
late Prealdtnt.
Mr. Edmonds thought the matter should goto
a committee. If Mrs Lincoln waa in alUueuoe.
as he had heard stated, then It would be mani
festly unjuat to single her for a pension, to tbe
exclusion or others equally deserving and more
needy widows. Bnt if, on lhe contrary, ahe was
In a destitute condition and should have a pen
sion, that fact would be best ascertained by a
committee. He therefore moved to refer the
bill to tbe Committee on Pensions.
Mr. Sumner opposed the motion. He had no
reason to tnppose tbat the present committee
would deal with the bill more wisely than Us
predecessor had done, and he saw nothing In
the proposition that needed Investigation by a
wujiuiiicv, jio uupni, luereiore, insi tne Dill
