THE CQVNTT PRISON AND THE U0V8E OF CORRECTION. At Uie meeting of Councils yesterday the oft debated subjects of an enlargement of the County TrUon and the Beleotion of Bite for a House of Correction came up in the shape .of ft communication to the Select branch from the Irmpectors of the County Prison, calling attontion to the eyiis resulting from prisoners being thrown togother too indis criminately instead of being kept in separate paitmcnts, according to law, and in a motion made by Mr. Hetzell in the Common branoh for the appointment of A committee to pro cure legislation to giye the city the nse of the Twenty-third ward Almshouse property. The crowdod state of , the ' County Prison is a disgrace to the city that has been dis cussed again and again in all its bearings by the press and. censured by every Grand Jury. ' Councils, however, have as yet made no move towards bringing about a reform either by the enlargement of the prison or the erection of a House of Correction. This last has been talked about until the impres sion has gained ground that it will never be anything but talk, but we hope that if the mem bers of Councils can bring themselves to agree upon a site, the construction of the necessary buildings will be pushed forward with some vigor. A House of Correction would relieve the County Prison of a large number of its inmates, and in all probability render an enlargement nnneoescary. At all events, it is the pressing necessity of the day, and there ought to be some earnest effort on the part of the authorities ; to procure its erection at the earnest possible period. - There should to be no real diffloulty about selecting a site, and that referred to in Mr. Tletzell'a resolution is probably M suitable as any that oan be found within the county limits. It moreover has ' the advantage of being publio property, and ' all that is required is that tho Legislature shall give the city the right to use it for this purpose. The appointment of a oommittee to procure the necessary legislation is a prac tical step in the right direction, and when the question of a site is definitely settled, as it ought to be within a few weeks, there will be too exouse for any lengthy delay in com mencing the erection of the proper buildings. There are public-spirited men in Councils who are well aware of the urgent need for a House of Correction, and if they will only press the matter with energy, they will deserve the hearty thanks of their constituents. DON FRANCISCO DE BOURBON. It is officially announced in Florenoe that Yiotor Emanuel's refusal to assent to the can didaoy of the Duke of Genoa for the vacant throne of Spain was extorted from him solely by the disinclination of the young Duko's mother to regard the project with favor. But this explanation does not console General Trim, nor relieve the unhappy Spaniards from their kingless dilemma. it is a little Bingular that Prim did not try his chances for retaining office by presenting the name of Frank Blair, Jr., as we have seve ral times suggested. The Blair family has gone utterly to seed of late. The venerable head of the family, as we recently learned, lad so far degenerated , as to indulge in the huckstering of potatoes and beets, a manner of eking out a livelihood with which he was bo exceedingly unfamiliar that he forthwith became involved in an "unpleasantness" with the revenue officers. Montgomery, we ima gine, is dead and buried; at least he has not been heard of for months past, and the like was never known concerning a live Blair in times past. And as for young Frank, the last we heard of him was to the effect that he had been talking to the New York Democracy about their purity and patriotism. Under these oiroumstances, we regard it as extremely doubtful if the venerable head of the family would follow the stupid course of the Duohess of Genoa and interpose any serious objection to the candidacy of his son and namesake for the royal honors of bewildered Spam. Don Francisco, once seourely settled on the throne, could assume the name and style of Ferdinand XIX. In a few years nobody would remember whether he belonged to the House of Bourbon or to the House of Bra ganza, and he would probably be credited with "being a soion of both; for his propensity for brag is quite as predominant 'as his affinity for Bourbon. The venerable Frank, Sr., . would again be in bis true sphere, at the head of a very influential kitchen oabinet, while Montgomery, if he be, indeed, not already defunct, would accept of almost anything, from the leadership in the parlor cabinet down to the position of Aloalde of Guaaa- juolihualixo. The Stath Government of New Yons has imbibed the true spirit of the age, the ex penses of "running" it during 18C!) footing np about twice as much as in 1859. Some of the items of inuroase are interesting and im pressive. Thus the pay of members and officers of the State Legislature has risen during the ten years from $93,187 to $131,348, while tho legiulative "contingencies" show a healthy increase during the same period from $32,719 to f 1C3.905. The item of State printing has increased from $153,930 to only $192,2(57; but then tho Lcghlatioe Record of New York is printed in Albany, and not in Harrisburg. The expenses of the public offices have been swollen from $1)130 $20,710; and tho pay of clerks iu the aue from $.Vi,9i.t to $09,040, and so on, all the way down the list. Tho Tribune, iu com menting on this exhibit, talks about "prodi gality," and "waste," and "new wrongs," and "old' rights;" but the 'Tribune, a all tha world knows, has An unamiable weaknens in this direction. For what were State Govern ments intended, if not for the purpose of In crooHing expensos ? The lYibune, evidently, is ignorant of the first principles of local statesmanship, and the recent dofoat sus tained by its philosopher in the contest (or the controllership of the Stale finances was a well-merited rebuke. ! 1 TOO MUCH CAYENNE. W. would respectfully r suggest a change of diet to our literary caterers. Finding the publio palate relished high sauces in the shape of stories of bigamy and hoUpressed liaimiu, they furnished them ad libitum through Miss Braddon and "Onida," and when those grew stale, fell with avidity upon tho stronger dih of incest in the Byron-Stows matter, which they served up in all sorts of hashes and ra gouts. Just as this was almost exhausted, Dr. Mackay has announced a glorious "And" of rank game in the frosh case of adultery between Medora, Byron's daughter, and her brother, and an unknown English purveyor has dug up the autobiography of Wortley Montagu, in which the scandalous intrigues of George the Second's court smell high to heaven like compressed moat in a can, the vilest among them being that of the author's mother, which he picks out with great gusto. Mrs. Stowe has served np her old material in a volume of five hundred pages, preceding the vile banquet by a short grace. Now, while we would not venture to hint to her or her followers that the food which they offer is unwholesome, we would suggest that they be more chary in its use. A palate once used to cayenne and game hung too long will not again relish milder food. It is useless to expect us to go baok to tho mild decencies of literature, or the pure simplicity of the New Testament on Sundays, after being fed on week days with food as high seasoned as this though it is true a certain Dr. Holoombe, of this city, has striven to remedy the last diffi culty by converting tho story of our Saviour and Lazarus into a hot-pressed novel of the latest stamp. But what are we to do when thoir supply gives out? Incest is not a common occur rence, it is presumable, in noble English families, and Mrs. Stowe has destroyed our search for ordinary indelicacies among our untitled acquaintances. - What mental stimu lant is left for us .to give our school boys and girls when they have devoured her forthcom ing volume ? We again urge her and her fellow-caterers to hold thoir hands and not waste their material with such unthrifty haste. What cheerful places to live in have j Now York city and its vicinity beoomo I The following is a copy of the display at the head of a single column in one of its daily papers yesterday: "The Era of Murdor Fatal Shooting of James Logan No. 2, in Went Houston street Homicide in a Bagnio A Wife Fatally Beaten by her Husband A Paris-green Suicide in Hobokon Latest par ticulars about Buckhout, the Tarrytown Mur derer A Remarkable Test Scene in Jail The Elizabeth street Tragedy, and the Coroner's Inquest on Pell, tho Fifth avenue Suicide." Another paper of the same date recounts the fact that tho city has enjoyed four suicides already tdnce the opening year, one of the victims using a razor, another a rope, while the other two were "taken off" by a revolver. During the year which has just closed, there were no less than 111 cases of suicide altogether, 80 of the victims being men and 31 women. Of the men 26 resorted to shooting, 23 to poison, and 18 to hanging.' Of the women but one indulged in a rope, and none in a pistol, poisoning and drowning being the favorite method with the females who were tired of living in New York, there having been 15 cases of the former and 10 of the latter, while the list was completed by three stabbings, two throat-cuttings, and one sure and certain jumping from a window. When our readers have glanced over this frightful record, they will perhaps be satis fied that their lot is cast in an overgrown village. Village life has some charms, even by the bide of metropolitan attractions. Wk have reoeived from Washington an ad dress to the American people in behalf of tho Republic of Cuba, which we are requested to publish as "a candid and truthful statement of the condition of the people of Cuba in their efforts to establish a free republic," so that our readers may form a correct judgmont on the subjeot. The sender of this document signs himself "An American," and it has no more weight than any other anonymous ap peal. The writer offers no new facte or arga tuents to show that the United States would be justified in interfering in behalf of tho Cuban insurgents, and as our readers are al ready in possession of all the faots necessary for the formation of a correct judg ment on the subject, we are obliged to dcoline publishing this or any- other irresponsible manifestoes of those who are seeking to embroil this country in a contest for the benefit of those who are either unable or unwilling to fight for themselves. The Cubans have done absolutely nothing towards securing thoir own independence, fffNFWost of their warfare against Spain lyis been con. duoted on paper by refugees in the prlnoipal cities of the United States, who find this both easier and safer than staying at home and fighting for their freedom. "Who would be free, thomselves must strike the blow," and the friends of Cuban independence heed ex pect no material assistance from the American people and Government unless they thow a more lively disposition to help themselvoH than they have done heretofore. Baeon HAtssMANNj the oelobrated Prefect of the Seine, who has within the last ten year nearly rebuilt the city of Paris, has been dis mLssed by tho Emperor at tho doiuand of bin new Ministry. This event is considered as of grout importance, for IIuuHsuianu was ouo of tho Emperor's most steadfast adherent, and bis diHiniwial is an indionticn of the power of the Ministry, and their dinpouition tonus it. Tie Emperor of la to has omitted nothing that would tend to allay the revolutionary symp toms that wero beeoming unpleasantly mani fest, and he has shrewdly contrived to bring some of the Liberals to the support of his throne by granting thorn ns often as possible wbut they asked for,nnd by making others like Roohofort ridioulous by allowing theui overy license to talk as muoh froth and nonsense- as they choose. The dismissal of Ilwssmann is a sop to Cerberus, and however unpleasant it must be for Napoleon to submit to such dictation, he shows, by gracefully yielding in a matter that is certainly not ensontial, that he does not intend to throw his real power away by contending for minor matters. The manoeuvre of tho Emperor reoently with re gard to the Liberals were certainly mastorly, and they show conclusively that, so far ns brains are concerned, he is more than a match for his antagonists. Whether his new line of policy will in reality make his throne any firmer or aocomplLsh his hopes of secur ing the succession for his son, remains for the future to determine, with the chances largely against him. Ma. Connkll has introduced a bill in the State Senate making the District Attorney, Clerk of Quarter Sessions, Sheriff, and Coro ner of Philadelphia salaried officers, and pro viding that the Recorder of Deeds, Register of Willu, and Clerksof Orphans' Court and CJnar tor Sessions shall pay into the City Treasury one-quarter of their gross receipts exceeding $2000. Tho proposed law is not to take effeot until after, the expiration of the terms of the present incumbents. The end it contemplate is undoubtedly just. The system which enables officials to aoquire speedy fortunes by extortionate fees is radi cally wrong, and it is high time that the Legislature, instead of acting as the accom plice of the politicians who acquire these places, in efforts to increase perquisites, which aro already too large, should devise means to reduco them to a stand ard commensurate with the aotual value of the services rendored. It is the height of folly and injustice to continue our local offices on a footing which enables greedy portiaauB to realize large fortunes in a single term, when bettor men would render better service for one-tenth the compensation awarded to the favorites of pot-house brawlers. The row over the State Treasurership at Ilarri.sburg has resulted in the renomination of R. W. Mackey, the present incumbent, with the profcpoot in favor of his re-election, but thero are sufficient symptoms of disatis faction and of a disposition to bolt to sur round the final result with some doubt. If the Republican adherents to the cauous no mination are not sufficiently numerous to form a clear majority of both houses, the Democrats may come in for a share of the spoils, either as the supporters of an in dependent candidate or as allies of the Mao keyites. As their supplies have been almost totally cut off by the overthrow of tho John son regime, relief from this unexpooted quar ter would prove especially grateful, and there would be a general rejoioing among the cor rupt spirits of the legislative halls over a dis graceful Boramble. If, however, any regard for the interests of the people and for com mon decency and honesty animates the re presentatives of the people, they will make short work of the treasury peculators in future by providing that as fast as balances accrue they shall be applied to the purohase and redemption of the debt. Tax-payers should watch olosely the action at Harrisburg on this proposition. A new illustration of the old adage that "politics makes strange bed-fellows" is given by some of Governor Geary's new appoint ments. During the early portion of his Gubernatorial career he was a faithful hench man of the olan Cameron, and the poor Cur tinites were thrust out in the cold. Since his re-election, however, he seems to have made a total change of front. He has not only ap pointed F. Carroll Brewster, a favorite of the Ourtin faction, his Attorney-General, but he has recently seleoted as Adjutant-Ueneral A. L. Russell, who was denounced not long ago on the floor of the United States Senate in the bitterest terms by General Simon Came ron, and who is a faithful follower of the for tunes of the present Minister to Russia. As a final proof of the completeness of tho new alliance, we understand that a near relative of Alexander McClure has been, or is to be, 'made Deputy Attorney-General, bo that Geary will be surrounded on all sides by the representatives of those whom he formerly proscribed. Mr. Toots would, perhaps, re gard these changes as of no consequence, and we do not know that they amount to much. It will be curious, however, to watch thoir influenoe upon the future movements of our valiant Governor. As a Cameronian he was certainly not much of a success as a Gurtin ite, ho may possibly gain increased conse quence. TnK rail Mali Gazette has displayed an en torprise almost unprecedented in an English journal, by having an extract from Mrs, Stow e's book entitled "Lady Byron Vindi catcd" telegraphed to it through the Atlaatio cable, rinch a feat would be thought nothing of in this country, where tho advantages of the cable for the transmission of important news are fully rooognized,Jbut it is 'something now in English journalism, and it is con. kidered a matter of sufficient importanoe by tho agent of the Associated Press for him to telegraph back to the Uuitod States a statement of the fact. The excitement over Mrs. Stowe's Byron scandal is greater in England than iu this country, and as thero is a general dosire to know what Mrs. Stowe has to say in defense of her first indiscretion, this bit of enterprise on the part of the l'nll Mall Gazette will probably be re warded by an extensive huIo of the paper, and it uiuy lead to fiulhtr imitation of tho Amur Iran jr,f.em of journalism on the part of the Englinh press that will make their news columns more iulerehting reading than thoy re now. Tin Finakcks op rsurtsiAA report on the financial policy of the new PrtiMlan Mlnmtor of Fi nances, which in approved by that minister, has en agreed tipon by the committee on the budget of I he Chamber or Deputies. The Trasfclan Interest bearing debt at the beginning of 1870 amounts to 494,000,000 thaUra, and U thtlilcd Into nut less than UB dashes, each with espoclal conditions, and a prescribed mode of redemption; and the Interest ranges irom three to Ore per cent. 5 the loan con traded during the latter years were usually at the fclKhest rate of interest, and a considerable dlticoant. For the year 1870 the amount to be redeemed la 8,000,000 thalers, more than two per cent, of tho entire debt, but for the same year there la a delicti of 6,400.000 thalert; con sequently if the Government were not under the obligation to redeem that amount the debt wosld have an excess of more than three millions of tha lers over the expenditures. The plan proposed by the Minister and the committee looks to the cover ing of the deficit for 1870, and to a more sultaole form for the national debt. It is proposed to con vert the debt into a consolidated rente, and, as a beginning, he proposed the conversion of tho entire debt of Prussia under the former bonndary, and the new boundary after I8fl, which bears intorest of i4 per cent., amounting to 17,4tts,87B thalers, and at 4 per cent, amounting to 62,9C7,H00 thalers. In all r23,436,178 thalers, Into a rente at 4.V per cent. Inter est; those bonds bearing intorest at 4 por cent, were to be exchanged at tho rate of nine thalers to eight thalers of the new ones. Tho result of this conver sion would be a debt of SiT,Kl,ooo thalers, wtth In terest at per cent In order to Induce tho holders to exchange a premium was to be oiferod, amount ing ac the most to one per cent, of the oonaoildstod debt, and new bonds were to be Issued to cover that amount. An extension of this plan to other loans, especially the 3 per cent, ccrtirtoates of ludebtod ness, Is regarded at the present time as unadvisable. The Minister does not propoao an entire discon tinuance of redemption, but only that In unfavorable years the necessity for the redemption of a specified amount should not exist. This obligation at present uuivea a serious odsiocio in Me way of a proper application of tho receipts to discharge the expenses of the State. To obviate this It la thought that the consolidated bonds for any one year should be re deemed whenever an excess of receipts over ex penses Is shown by the budget of that year, and only to the amount of that excess. 8PEOIAL.
