Tbe Philadelphia Society for Allevlatinn the
Miserieu of Public Prisons pabliBh annually a
"Journal of Prison Discipline and Philan
thropy." This work has Just been published for
the present year. It contains much valuable
information.
The Journal refer to the purposes of the so
ciety, and claims that the society has baen in
truuiontal iu effecting many reforms la the
management of prisons. It says:
"Now. while this society has been unostantatlonsly
engaged In the good work which It professed to have
n view, the value of that good hus constantly In
creased, by the development of the miseries which
were almost hidden behind the greater and more
obvious evils. And It may be added that while
philanthropists for a time limited their exer
tions, and their views and hopes, to a diminution of
the crying miseries of public prisons, those ex
ertions lead them to consider how Imprisonment
might be converted from a slmplo brutal Instrument
of pubilt; vengeauce to a means of Individual Im
provement, and, In proportion to the number of
those Individuals, to an occasion of public benefit.
Wo that the prison, Instead of being a pest house of
Incurables, should become a moral infirmary, where
the dignity of man bclnif rightly respected, the
offending memer of society nilght be received,
nnrsed, and restored to the community in soundness
f principles aud purity of morals."
Referring to the County Prison, the journal
ays:
"The members of the Committee on the County
Prison report about seven hundred visits a year
from their Individual members. There are about
two hundred visits also made by ladles, who regu
larly visit the cells of the females and produce much
good. Within the year the commit tee have had evi
dence of great morsl reform in several prisoners ; and
a letter Irom one thus Improved snows how much
may be effected bv moral Biiasion and how much of
practical ordinary school lessons may be imparted.
As these letters aro not numerous, their publication
Is withheld lest the fact of publication make
known to others the writers condition. When
there is an opportunity to deal with the conscience
ami common sense of a prisoner alone, without any
one to hear the lesson or to comment upon It to the
prisoccr lu the absence of the teacher, a Rood effect
Is almost Invariably produced. Separate con
litieuieiit, that is, the separation of oue prisoner
from nil others, is the condition of success ; and that
condition having been found lit the Female Depart
ment, more success has attended efforts to Improve
female convicts tuan has been obtained among the
males, who arc crowded together several In a cell,
though it Is evident that, in the County Prison, good
service, faithful, conscientious labors among the
ninle convicts, are to be credited to the excellent
visitors."
The Eastern Penitentiary is referred to as fol
lows: "The visits of the Committee on the Penitentiary
to the cells and to the occupants of the cells in mat
great reservoir of the punished (and we wish we
could say of the penitent), are more numerous than
are those of the County Prison. The committee at
the Penitentiary is more numerous, and the labor is
more promising, as the prisoners have a longer lease
of their cells, aud are by the discipline of the place
made to depend more npon their kind visitors. The
fruits of these labors are necessarily m.ire abundant
a the Petiltentiarv, from the fact of the better and
more secret interviews of the visitors. Great good
we have occasion to know has been done by these
visitors, not only in making the unfortunate and
guilty Inmates of the cells feel that they may be
helped forward, and that feeling is strengthened and
augmented by the pure sympathy which the visitors
manifest In their condition, aud especially in them as
human beings."
The statement of the visits by members of
the Committee on the Eastern Penitentiary
shows that the work has not been neglected.
This, however, docs not include a statement of
the visits by tho ladies, who aro unremitting: iu
their attendance: Visits, 413: in cells, 3131; in
doors, 3517; separate, 4443. Tho journal, In re
ferring to the ureat work accomplished by Mr.
William J. Mullen, who is the agent of tho
Boclety and a member of tho Board of Inspec
tors of the County Prison, says:
"Some thousands of cases wore settled by Mr.
Mullen in lSiiO; many more than in former years,
owing to some new arrangements of the committing
magistrates. Something of the appreciation which
the society has of Mr. Mullen's services may be in
ferred from the fact that it is not thought possible
for any prison society to exercise Its full power, and
produce the good results of which It is capable,
without just siich an agent. It may not be improper
here to state that the whole numbcrof persons whose
release was, In 1869, procured by Mr. Mullen, was
3796. It would startle ur inexperienced person to
see the list of offenses for which that great number
was committed. It Is humillH'Jng to a human being
of any sensitiveness to see in how many ways man
may violate the laws."
The journal refers at length to the necessity
of the House of Correction, the enlargement of
the County Prison, aud things that call for im
provement relative to the duties of aldermen.
Interesting items of necrology, and extracts
from foreign reports, especially Ireland and
Scotland, are appended, and the entire work is
one of Interest, and well worthy of perusal. Re
ferring to the Legislature the journal says:
i"We confidently expect that the Legislature will
Initiate and perfect 'bills' relative to prisons and
penitentiaries and their discipline, and will Insure a
great amelioration of the condition of prisoners.
The plan of commutation is one which has for a
long time received the approval of this society, and
it cannot be doubted that, as it has commenced,
though only with penitentiaries, it will be improved
and applied to all the prisons of the State."
The Pennsylvania. Railroad Grain Depot.
The extensive and well-built frame structure
situated on the north side of Market street, on
the west bank of the Schuylkill, erected by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the pur
poses of a vast grain depository, is at length
completed, at a cost of over $400,000. The
timber used in the construction of this ware
house is all of the best quality, well seasoned,
and well put together, whilst as a protection
against fire the sides and roof are slated. The
new depot Is S55 feet long, 125 feet wide, and 83
feet la height. There are laid down six tracks
fmflicient to accommodate COO cars at one time.
There are six rows of platform bins, each hold
ing 450 bushels, or one car load. Running
across the building, and underneath the bins,
are wnyg for wagons. A wagon can load 100
bushels in three mluutes. Wheat and oate are
already in the bins, and are beiug daily received
and discharged. Besides all these facilities for
transferring grain, there is room within the
biiUding for tiering 25,000 barrels pf flour,
Counterfeit Bank Bills Notwithstanding
the Immense and severe penalty provided by the
laws of Congress for the punishment of parties
engaging in counterfeiting United States notes,
nevertheless there are many persons now em
nloved In this business, and at certain periods
tho country is flooded with their paper. Just
now three different kinds of bogHB notes are in
drenlatloh. one a 10 counterfeit on the Third
National Bank, another a 3 bill on the Blxth
National Bank, and the other a 5 bill altorcd to
u 20 on the Consolidation National Bank. The
llrst may bo detected by the absence of the letter
c in Natioual Currency on the right and border
near the top of the note. The seeond is a poor
attempt at the "spurious," aud almost tells on
ittelf. whilst the latter, being an alteration oi a
genuine 5. is not easily discovered, and is apt
to deceive even experts. Our business men and
citizens should make note of this and act pru
dently.
Tn r "Star" Coihsb of Lectures. Profes
sor Morton will deliver the sixth lecture of the
f-eeond series of this course at the Academy of
Music this evening. The subject will be "Solar
Eclipses," and the lecture will bo Illustrated by
photographic views and interesting experiments.
This lecture will undoubtedly be one of the
most entertaining and instructive of the whole
aeries.

Sons, have removed from No. 52! Cbesnnt
uirn-t to their elegant new store at No. 704
Cbesnnt street, where they have every facility
tor carrying ou llieir last increasing irauc.
Brutality ok IIusiiantib. That a society
for the prevention of crnelty to wives is sadly
needd Is every day becoming more apparent.
and it is, in our opinion, high time that some
severe mode of pnnishment was inaugurated for
those brutish bipeds whose natures are too
cowardly to allow them lo combat with acreature
of tbelr own gender, tint who vent their anger
upon their poor suffering wives, who ofttlmes
are broken in health and heart by constant
labors to support their swinish lords In idleness.
This morning the police of the Seventh district
reoon no less man tnrce cases oi wiio-oeating.
William (.'rouse, residing on Third street,
above Poplar, whilst filled with beer on Satur
day night, beat his life's partner in a shameful
manner. Officer Bissing arrested William, and
took him before Alderman Becker, who com
mitted him to answer.
Late the same night, Officer Mulligan was at
tracted by cries of murder to the residence of
Peter Marks, Callowhill street, near Fourth,
where, on entering, be found Peter castigating
bis wife. Peter was at once taken into cus
tody, and yesterday Alderman Toland com
mitted him in default of 1)000 ball to answer.
William Bannister, a resident of St. John's
court, forgetting his marital vows, also at
tempted to flog her ho had promised to protect.
Fortunately she escaped his clutches and had
him arrested. Alderman Toland held him in
$600 ball to answer.
Death of Well-known Citizens. Jacob
Fctcrs, aged sixty-six years, died on the 25th
instant of tvphold pneumonia, at his residence,
No. 1424 Marlborough street. Deceased was
well known in connection with the old omnibus
lines. Ills father established the line of omni
buses running from the Exchange to Glrard
College, and after his death his so, Jacob
Peters, continued tho business for a tlsae. De
ceased was a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for Sheriff, and was defeated by Samhcl
Allen, the Whig candidate. This was about the
year 1855. Mr. Peters, at tho time of the estab
lishment of the Tenth and Eleventh Streets Pas
senger Railway Company, was elected superin
tendent of the road, una held that position up
to the time of his death. He was a man highly
respected, and had a host of friends.
Yesterday Peter Maison, aged sixty years, one
of the oldest biscuit bakers of this city, died at
bis residence. Deceased for many years carried
on bnsincss at No. 214 North Front street, where
ho was succeeded by Theodore Wilson, Esq.,
the present proprietor of the bakery. Deceased
was a gentleman highly respected for his many
estimable Qualities.
Roughs ant Robbery. Yesterday morning
a party of roughs entered the lager beer saloon
of C. Sieglc, Third street, above Race, and called
for drinks. The proprietor, seeing they were
all Intoxicated, refused to sell them any liquor,
when one of the number picked up an earthen
spittoon and burled it at blm. It missed tho
mark, however, and struck a large glass mirror,
which it smashed into minute particles. Not
satisfied with this, they then assaulted Siegle
and beat him severely. From Third street they
proceeded to the saloon of one Wuerflcin, on
Arch street, above Second, and acted in a simi
larly disgraceful manner. After they had beaten
Wuerllein to insensibility, they searched the
place, and found concealed behind the counter
a box containing $300 in gold, which they im
mediately seized nnd left with Later in the
day Michael Dcegan and Edward liooncy were
arrested on suspicion of being concerned" in the
affair. They will have a hearing at the Central
Station at two o'clock to-day.
A Rough Custom hk. Ollicer Connell, of the
Seventh district, yesterday arrested an indi
vidual, giving his name as John Baxter, at St.
John nnd Wood streets, for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. The inebriate, fellow at first
stoutly resisted the officer, hitting him In the
eye and otherwise punishing him. Connell
persevered, and placing the 'nippers' on him
started for the station-house. Before proceed
ing many yards Baxter expressed penitence and
nsked that the nippers might be removed, pro
missing that he would oiler no further resist
ance. The humane officer was about complying
w ith this request when Baxter again assaulted
him. This was too much for Connell, and with
more force than politeness he again started his
man off, and marched him Into the presence of
Alderman Toland, who committed him In de
fault of 000 bail to answer.
Singular Occurrence. A man residing at
No. 8223 Filbert street, whose name is not at
present ascertainable, met death suddenly this
A. M. It appears that on awakening he called
on his wife for a drink, and she handed him
some wine. He took the glass and hastily swal
lowed tho liquor. Directly afterwards he was
seized with coughing, and in a few minutes
expired. The Coroner will hold an inquest in
the case to-uay.

During the revelations which followed the
September gold panic, much reference was made
to a letter addressed by the President to Secre
tary Boutwcll and left with General Ratterfleld
to be delivered to tho Secretary on his return
from Massachusetts to Washington, about the
middle of September. That letter was alleged
to have been an endorsement of the Uoulrt
Corbln theory of high gold. The letter Itself is the
best proof of its character, and is as follows:
Nitw York City, Sept. 14, 1869. Hon. George 8.
Boutwell, secretary of the Treasury Dear Sir: I
leave here to-morrow morning for Western Penn
sylvania, and will not reach W ashlngton before the
middle or last of next week. Had I known before
making my arrangements for starting that you
wonld be in this city early this week, I would have
remained to meet yon. I am satisfied that oa
year arrival you will be met by the bulls and
bean of Wall street, and probably by mer
chants, too, to induce you to sell gold or pay the
November Interest In advance on the one side,
and to hold fast on the other. The fact Is, a
desperate struggle is now making, .and each
party want the Government to help them out 1
write this letter to advise you of what I think you
may expect, to put you on your guard. I think, from
the lights before lie, 1 would move on without
change until the present struggle Is over. If you
want to write me this week, my address In Washing
ton, fa. I would like to hear your experience wim
the factions, at all events. If they give you time to
write. No. doubt you will have a oetter chance to
Judge than I, for I have avoided general discussion
on the subject. Yours, truly, U. S. Grant.

A Tarlfl Triumph.
Special Despatch to The Evening TtlegrapK
WasntKOTOrt, Feb. f R The tariff men had air
other triumph In the House to-day. Mr, Allison, of
Iowa, had a resolution In his pocket, which he failed
to get In, declaring that the tariff should be for
revenue only, and that Its burdens should fall
equally npon all. Mr. Bchenck, not getting a chance
himself, got a delegate from Idaho to offer a reaolu
tlon declaring thai the sense of the House was In
favor of a protective tariff as well as a tariff for
revenue. Mr. Schenck demanded the previous ques
tion. Mr.lwoodmoTed to laytbe resolution on the
table, which was lost. The resolution was then
passed yeas, 103; nays, 61.
Uollrtday and Deweeae.
The Speaker laid before the House the resignation
of Clolladay, of Kentucky, and Deweeae, or North
Carolina. They did not learn until this morning
that their case before the Military Committee was
hopeiesa. As soon as the fact was made known to
them they telegraphed their resignations to the
Uovemors of their respective States.
It Is said that several other members are Impli
cated, and that they will also resign to save expul
sion. There Is no telling now where the matter will
top. A member remarked to day that If the colu
mn ten continued its investigations the House will
find Itself without a quorum.
Tbe Pnblio I'ebt (Statement.
Despatch to the Aemociated frenit.
The public debt statement will be Issued to
m"rrow, as usual. At present it is impossible to say
what will be the showing. The expenditures on ao
count of pensions within the post few days have been
very heavy, but the general indications favor a slight
decrease.
Official notifications from all .the States which,
have ratified the fifteenth amendment have not yet
been received here, which accounts for the delay In
the official proclamation.

Mr. Howard called up the Joist resolution autho
rizing the Northern lclflc Railroad Company to
lsttie its bonds for the construction of Its road, and
to tciure the tune by mortgage.
A debate ensued upon the amendmeut reported
by the Committee on the Pacino Railroads as a
means of making up deficiencies In the amount of
lands granted by Congress to extend for ten miles
on each side of the road, the limits within which
lands ma v be selected.
Mr. Harlan opposed the blli npon the ground that
tbe railroad had now a sufficient amount of land,
and that the reasons for a farther Increase were not
anfllclentlv clear.
Mr. Howard explained that the company wanted
authority to mortgage not only their line of road
but the lands belonging to them under their charter,
and that the deficiencies caused by homestead and
pre-emption settlers should be made good to the
company by their taking up lands within ten miles
of the piesent outer limit.
At 1 o'clock the bill was laid over, and the Fund
tug bill came up In order.
