In th Ccart of Oyer and Terminer this morning.
Judges Pelrce and Paxson on tbe bench, the Or aud
Jnry for tha November term made their flaal pre
sentment, after the reading or which they were
thanked by Judge Pelrce and discharged, T& pre
sentment la very lengthy, but It ia of such great im
portance that we give it in fall, as follows.
The Grand Inqucpt of the Commonwealth for the
City and county of Philadelphia, for November ses
sion, 1670, respectfully present that they have had
4R5 bills submitted to them by the District Attorney,
849 of which they have returned as true. The re
maining 206 were lguored.
Of the large numbirof bills Ignored, the great
malorltv were so trivial in character tht the Or-ind
Jury feel It a duty Incumbent upon them to direct
the specjaj attention ef the t!noj;ab!e Coiirj i the j
fact. ITavlrig uudernlood that iA case t,' misdemea
nor, in wntch no puniio interest sutlers, aiaermea
are invested wnn ceriam oiscreiiouary powers, uio
lury would repccllully state that in their opiniou
thfse dlscrntfonary powers did not appear to havo
been xerctsed as frequently as or In the direction
they should in the cases submitted to them. In quite
a number of instances, the prosectors stated to Mie.
Jury that they desired the cases to go no further
than the Alderman s onice, auu mat tuey nat ma in
special request to that euVct; but their wishes in
these respects appeared to have been entirely dis
regarded, and, as results, persons were commtbtod
to prison, where, for lack of ability to procure ball,
tney were necessarily Kept iu counuuinent, uniu
the presentment of their cases to, and their
ignoremant by, the Grand Jury released them. As
the want or ability to procure bail reasonably im
plies indigent circumstances on the part or the de
fendant, the ease not nnfrcqnently becomes one of
great hardship, and especially so when the person
committed Is the head of a rarally, or has others de
pending upon his or her dally labor ior support, la
addition to this, tbe expense to the county growing
cut of the large number of these cases which
might, aud the jury think thnull, be settled In tbe
Alderman s omee ib very neavy.
The Copnljr PrNoB.
The Grand Jury visited tne County Prison, where,
In every part, evidences of great care and circum
spection in regard to cleanliness and wholesome
discipline were apparent. Trie jury were strongly
Imtirasscd with the Importance of having Increased
cell accommodations la the male department of the
prison. There are at present in conanetneut in this
department 825 male convicts, and to accommodate
this large number there are but 194 available cells.
As a large proportion or these cells are occupied by
cenvicts wno, irotn tne nature oi ineir onuses,
have been sentenced to separate confinement, the
result is that the separate confinement or the re
mainder becomes an absolute Impossibility. Ttio
salutary effects of assigning a ce 1 to each prisoner
have been so practically aud clearly demonstrated iu
the wards of the prison occupied by females, and the
Gt and Jury ia so thoroughly convinced of Us great
utility, that the extension of the priBon westward
to Twelfth street is most earnestly recommended.
This suggested enlargement would furnish about 3.V)
additional cells, which, in view of tho rapid Increase
of our city's population, and the constant lo
ci ease or crime consequent thereupon, would
ot be too many. tsueli additional cell
room would completely obviate the
necessity which at presuit exists for confining three
or four, and sometimes more, prisoners in a single
apartment. The demorali.ing effects of such undue
crowding are too apparent to need demonstration.
It not nnfrequently happens that Innocent persons.
or least those anu-utned in crime, are thus by un
avoidable necessity brought into direct and Inti
mate contact for weeks at a time with hardcued
criminals, dissolute vaprants, debauched revellers,
and other vicious prison characters, association
with whom can scarcely fall to result in contamina
tion. In addition to this aa has been so satlrac
torlly oemonstrated in ttie wardi occupied by
reniales separate confinement has terrors for a pri
soner which incarceration in a cell with several
others almost Invariably falls to produce. The
Grand Jury would therefore most respectfully nrge
the enlargement anuuca to.
The Connty Almnheim.
The Connty Almshouse was also visited, where, as
at the County Prison, thcro were iu every depart
ment marked evidences of thoroughly efficient
management. Neatness, cleanliness, and good
order pervaded the entire establishment. The only
exception lr exception it couia oe termca was in
the Insane department, where the overcrowded
condition or the wards necessarily prevented that
attention to some of the minor details
which, but for the cause referred to, would doubt
less have been observed. In every other respect,
this Important department of the institution was ia
admirable condition a fact attributable mainly to
the ellicient direction and management of the resi
dent physician, Dr. itichardsou. The completion of
the additional buildings authorized oy (;ounciij, a -a
now in process or erection, win remove tne ami'
cnlties.
There exists In this institution a necessity for the
appointment of a competent person whose duty it
dhallbeto supervisa, under the .direction of the
Medical Board, the hospital, chlldrens asylum.
the wards for the aged, and those for mothers with
infants. The proponed particular duties of this oifl.
cer will be the enforcement of tne strictest cleanll
ness. the careful inspection of the quality, quantity.
time, and manner of serving the food for these
several departments, the reporting of necessarv re
pairs, etc. etc In view of the Immediate pressing
need for the appointment of such an oilicer, the
Grand Jury respectfully recommend the appropria
tion by Councils of such a sum as would be adequate
compensation ior tue services to oe renuerea.
Tbe l;aatera Penitentiary
At the Eastern Penitentiary tbe Grand Jury were
particularly struck with the admirable system pur
sued there In regard to the prisoners a system
which has won for this Institution an almost world
wide reputation. The jury herewith acknowledge
the courtesy exieuuca tuem oy tne warden, vr.
Townsend, who spared no efforts to render the visit
a pleasant ana instructive one.
Tbe Nertbera liomo for Friendless Children.
This Institution and the Soldiers' and Bailors
Ornhan institute connected with it were also visited
by the jury. The scrupulous cleanliness which psr
vaded the entire establishment, the neat, beilthful,
and contented appcarauce of the four hundred little
inmates and their remarkable prouclency in their
various studies were to the jury lucontestaule evi
dences of thoroughly efficient management. This
Home Is doing a noble work.
;irard Colleae.
A careful examination of the various departments
of the college satisfied the jury that its mauae
ment is entrusted to able hands. The remarkably
line appearance of the pupils, their orderly behavior
ana proficiency in tnrir stuoies, togeiner witn tn
tidiness ot the dormitories and the neat and trim
condition of tbe grounds, prove that tbe affairs of
this great charity are properly airecteu,
Tbe Ilouae f Iteluue.
At the House of tteiuga tho Jury had an op nor
tuuity or witnessing the method of dlsclpliuH
adopted, and observed lu it u thing that did not
nerlt approval. 1 l-e lrve water-closets iu the im
mediate vicinity of the boy's workshops deiuaud
attention, as their condition at the time or the jury's
visit was not in keeping with the neatness and
eleanUuets that were observable tn other portions
or the institution. A repainting of borne of the in
terior walls or tne main buiidtag is recommended.
The Public lllihwayi.
The Grand Jury deem it a duty to otrect the atten
tion of the Honorable Court to the condition of tbe
cobblestone pavjng of a uumber of the principal
btiblness streets of the city, market street, from tne
Delaware to the tichuyiklll, rurnlslies au apt illustra
tion. The pavement or thisjfreat busl'iess thorough
fare, over which such an Immense amount or heavy
freight ia continually passing, is a disgrace to a great
city like Philadelphia, an imposition upon tax
payers, and a discredit to the Commissioner or High-
waja.
The sidewalk! or the city are In very maiy sec
tions deplorably out of repair, loose bricks abound :
In nutuberless places large portions of the pavement
are entirely gone, and in others the Inequalities of
the surface under them almost impassable tn wet
weather. The Jury would direct attention to these
manifest violations or ordinances and derelictions
of duty on the part or tne supervisors.
A general system of underground drainage forall
wast waters which cross pavements Is suggested
by the Jury.
The niiby condition of very many or the streets
and alleys or tbe city has been a subject or long aud
loud complaint ou the part of citizens. Iu the
opinion of tbe Grand Jury the Board of Health
should Insist upen a more lalihrul performance of
the obligations assumed oy me parties wno nave
contracted to keep tne city ia a cleanly condition,
iiaaaad liail aiopi,
In the presentment of the last Grand Jury the
attention of tbe honorable court was called to the
scarcity of gaa Uicps, and a auggestion mala that
an increaaed expenditure for gas-lights would ba
atupiy rt-paia oy tne auuiuouai security mat would
be afforded to life and property. Tbe present jury
respectfully rentw the auggestion, aud would at
the same time Inquire why the gas thtisnovr
and has for some time paat boen furnished to con
sumers by the Olty Gaa Worts ia of such Inferior
quality T The jury would also recommend taa re-
aciiidiag or tne orainance oy wuicu uuring moon

are forbiuaen to oe uguieu.

VIlatlM mf ftllaar Ordlaaaoea.
The ery freqnent and gross violation of many f
tbe i. i i or ordinances or the city is asubject to
wli:' ibe attention or the Jury Iris bean specially
dir- (. d. Prominent amongst thesa Is the wheeling
of u: h-carta and harrows on the sidewalks after
seven, o'clock A M ; the ngtect to aeep aVcarts
covered ; the obEtructlon of street crossings by pas
f rp.( r rAliway cars, and tlic ordinance which re
quires thut the crivara of vehicles of all kinds shall,
In passing along the streets, maintain aa open
race or at It at ten rest between each vehicle.
FJnfttncn at Kallrtaa Craaalnga.
In view or the frequency or accidents at streets
which are crossed by railway locomitives, the Jury
would respectfully urge the importance or compel
ling railroad companies to have flagmen stationed
at all crossings wttbit tbe limits or the city. This is
especially demanded In Manaynnk, where, tn con
sequence of the recent change In the proprietorship
of the railroad paving through that place, the num
ber c r da'ly trains will Oe Increased from thirteen to
twenty-eight.
CIohIb f favei-n Hanttar.
Tha Grand Jury, in the hearing or the testimony
tl'clted by the 4.'o cases submitted to them, ware
deeply impressed wit. tbi ad fact that at leat
Hirer-fourths ot tne grounds ior compianu nau meir
ortgln In tbe me or liquor. This most deplorable
coiitiition or minus monies ui jury 10 earnestly
rt( mniend that the law which requires a i piacca
v. here liquor Is sold to be closed on the Ba (bath day
lo II be more rigidly enforced, and that the propur
officers be instructed to perform their sworn duty in
this most Important particular.
InrreaaeaT the Police Force.
The Grand Jury have been convinced by tha testi
mony given before tlieru that there Is an Imperative
riecestity icr an increase or tne ponce iorce, paru-
cnisiiy in tne rural districts. They believe that tue
rxpciifie attending such an increase would be rally
repaid by the more effectual prevention cr crime
ana ctitorncr, ana tne greater security tnat weuiu
thereby be afforded to life and property.
t licnp Concert Mulooaa.
The Orsuo Jury recoguise It as a daty to remoa-
strata against the licensing or what are known as
cheap concert saloons. Tbe demoralizing InQueueea
extriea ty some of tuese estaunsBmunis upon
yoang persons of both sex are very marked. As
tne revenue to tne city aerivea irom tins source is
very trilling, the jury would respectfully suggest
greater discrimination on the part or tne auiauriuea
through whom the licenses are obtained.
In concluding their nreaenttnent tneGranajary
take plcaiare In recognizing tbe courtesy and
promptness of the District Attorney and his assis
tants in complying with the requests or tbe jury for
inrcmiation ana advice.
All or which Is respectfully submitted.

FROM WASHINGTON.
BrlKhnaa Voun Untied Statea Taxes.
Despatch to tti Associated Vrms.
Washington, Dec. 2. In December, 1883,
John P. Taggart, Assessor of Internal Revenue
for tbe Territory of Utah, assessed Brigham
Young as trustee for tho Church of Jesus Christ
of tbe Latter Day Stints, au i a come tax of
t39,5T9, to which ho added a pjualty ot $19,779.
Young appealed from the asses.tmnt, asking
to have it abated as erroneous, making two
points agalist It iu giving tbe Mormon view of
the case; first, that tbe trust fund was raised
by tithing and was a voluntary offering
and ccuie queutly not taxable as Income. Tbe
next point was that if it was taxable they had
been relieved by the act of July 14, 1870, giving
exemption to every five persons living ia reli
gious communities holding property iu common.
Tl;e point of voluntary offering wui decided
against Brigham Young, as trustee, because of
the fact that pnnisbuionts such as excoinmunioa-
tloo and otherwise, are meted out to those who
refure to pay tithing, which deprives said
offerings of all voluntary cbayty. On the
second point, in which tbey claimed t
coaie within the law exempting common
property, it was shown by the Government that
tbe property was not held la common, as re
quired by the terms of the law, which says the
propert) from which the income arises and in
come t-ball beheld jointly and in common. Tbe
matter Las been pending in tbe Internal Reve
nue Bureau for nearly one year, aud to-day wm
decided by Acting CoruuiisMoner Douglass in
favor of the Governmei t as to tbe tax, but re
lieving Young from the petial'y. Iustructions
will be rent to Collector Ilollister la Utah to
collect tbe tax at once.

A DeNalte "itatement at the Ca.e.
LoroH, Dec. 2. Later and more Important
despatcbes have been received from Tours rela
tive to the movements of the Army of tho Loire.
The movement of the army began on Wednes
day and was directed by the Minister of War.
The first operations were favorable. General
Cbausey left his position the next day and tonnd
the Prussians entrenched at Gallonville, Fer-
miniere, and Comers.
He Immediately Rave them battle, which only-
ended with night. The Prussians were com
pelled tc re' Ire, and the positions held by them
were captured by tha French, where they en
camped that sight. The French artillery was
well handled. The German loss was heavy, and
the French loss was very light.
FROM NEW YORK.
Aaathsr Erie Railroad War.
Nivr York, Dee. 2. Tbe trains oa th Mor
ris and Essex and Erie Railroad trains were
detained several honrs this morning at tha west
end of the Bergen tunnel, owing to a renewal
of hostilities between those companies. Tho
workmen of the Morris and Essex Railroad at
tempted to put down a double frog for the pur
pose of running broad gange cars through tha
tunnel, ard the Erie Company placed a locomo
tive where the connection was making to pre
vent the work.
Several hours later a compromise was effected
and the accumulated Erie trains passed throagh
the tunnel. But as the Morris and Essex trains
were about moving, they obstructed the track
with a freight train. Thus matters remain at
present, with no hope of settlement. Governor
Randolph has betu -telegraphed, and is ex
pected to interfere. Large bodies of workmea
of both roads are present, but a large foroe of
police prevents aay disturbance.
