SOME CRIMINAL STATISTIC!
The statistics oontained in the annual report
of the inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary
are of the utmost interest and importance not
only to the law-makers of the State, for whose
especial edification they are particularly pre
pared, but to all classes of citizens. Where
every man has a voice in the government,
wise criminal legislation will more likely
ensue if all are informed, to some extent at
least, upon subjects connected with the pro
gress of crime and the causes which influence
its increase or decrease; and the elaborate
tables contained in the inspectors' re
port for 1870 are full of facts that
cannot be too earnestly considered by all
who feel the importance of good
government. The first table in the report
sets forth a number of facts of great im
portance. We find by this that of the per
sons imprisoned for crimes against property
during the five years from 18GG to 1870 in
elusive, 42 were entirely illiterate, 28 could
read only, and 279 could both read and write.
Of those confined for crimes against persons,
18 were illiterate, 6 could read only, and !G
could both read and write. This would indi
cate that eduo tion or partial education does
not diminish crime, but the true value of the
figures, of course, can only be obtained by
comparison with those representing the
educational relations of the entire popu
lation. Such a comparison, however,
would probably demonstrate that the
proportion of criminals who can both
read and write is very large; while, on the
other hand, the proportionof reasonably well
educated persons confined for crimes is very
small.
More definite information can be ob
tained by a comparison of the
figures in the table which gives the
industrial relations of the prisoners. Daring
the five years mentioned, of those confined
for crimes against property 289 were unap
prentioed, 45 were apprenticed and left, and
15 were apprenticed and served; of those
confined for orimes against persons 77 were
nnapprenticed, 4 were apprenticed and left,
and 9 were 'apprenticed and served, liere is
B positive proof that a vast majority of the
robberies of all grades are committed by
those who have not been trained to earn their
bread and butter by honest industry. One of
the causes of this condition of affairs is the
decay of the apprentice system, and the ob
strnctions thrown by the workingoaen them
selves in the way of boys learning useful
trades. It is now a matter of extreme
diffionlty for a boy to apprentice himself, and
it is not to be wondered at that a great num
ber of young men fall into idle and dissol ute
habits, and ultimately beoome criminals. For
the misdeeds of a large number of the per
Sons now confined in the Penitentiary the
trades unions are directly responsible, as
they have practically broken up the old-
fashioned apprentice system, and have made
no effort to provide a substitute for it.
In 18GG the number of prisoners sent to the
Penitentiary for crimes against property was
64, in 18G7 it was CG, in 18G8 it was 5j, in
18G9 it was 99, and in 1870 it was 75. In 18tf
the number confined for crimes against per
sons was GG. in 18G7 it was 79, in 18(8 it was
62, in 18G9 it was 125, and in 1870 it was 107.
This is a record in the highest degree com
plimentary to District Attorney Sheppard.
lie sent to the Penitentiary nearly twioe as
many cnminkla per annum as his predecessor,
notwithstanding the fact that for six month
of the two years tbt have passed ainoe his
election he was excluded from offioe. In 18i9
and 1870 he succeeded In. having looked up
aaore ofleadera against praons than Mr,
Mann did during the three yrs preceding,
and the ruffians who infest to oommunity
have been made to respect the 1 ga they
cad not aone ior a long time befou. The
figures above given are evidenoes ot Mr.
Bheppard's efficient performance of his dutvs
and they clearly demonstrate the important
of having an honest and able District At
torney to oonduct the criminal proseoutions
Of a great city like this.
John C. Bbkckinbidoe, of Kentucky, lately
vinoed good sense, and a very proper feel
ing, by declining to serve as a delegate to a
' Democratic convention, and by stating that
he did net intend to re-enter the politioal
arena. He staked his hopes for future pre
ferment upon the suocess of the Rebellion,
and having lost, he aots wisely and properly
in abiding by the result and in leaving others
to manage the Government which ho tried in
vain to destroy.
THE OA8 TRUST.
Select Council will this afternoon be called
upon to consider the new gas loan of $500,000
which was authorized by the Common branch
last week, the opposition to it being silenced
by the threat that a portion of the city would
be left in darkness if the Gas Trustees did
not get the meney. We hope sincerely that
a vigorous opposition to this loan will be
developed in the Seleot branoh to-day, and
that nothing will be left undone by the inde
pendent members to defeat it. Councils have
too long been the servants of the gas ring,
and it is high time that they had at least made
. . . . ..... ..,
an attempt to prove tnat tney are not eitner
in law or equity bound merely to register the
decrees of their masters, but that as the
representatives of the people it is at once
their right and their duty to exercise some
ooBtrol over the people's property and over
the expenditures of the people's money. By
the unfortunate bargain made when the city
assumed the control of the Gas Works, their
management is entrusted to a set of men who
are practically independent of Councils in
nearly everything, but Counoils certainly have
tne ngnt to say wnetner money shall or
shall not be appropriated, to be expended
bone but the members of the gas ring know
how, and it is an absurdity to say that they
are bound to hand over to the ring any sum
tnat may be demanded, while there is no
assurance or guarantee that it will be ex
pended for the public benefit. If the Gas
Trustees can demand half a million dollars
now, they can demand ten millions next
year, and Councils will be as much obliged
to give them the last as the first-named sum,
and there will be no limit whatever to the
public debt.
The Gas Trustees demolished the works at
Twenty-third and Market streets entirely upon
their own responsibility, and without any
apparent necessity for such action. There
are, it is true, objections to the site, as the
value of property is deteriorated by the
proximity of the Gas Works, and if
new worm are built, therefore, they
should be located at a point remote
from the heart of the city. This is a matter
over which Counoils should have some con
trol, for there is no assuranoe that the trus
tees will not build upon the old site, or that
they will not select an equally or mora ob
jectionable one. Apart from all this,
however, it was a great outrage
to destroy the old works before the public
were informed of the necessity, if any existed,
for new ones, and before any means had been
provided for their ereotion. By taking the
course they did, the trustees hoped to force
Councils to grant them all the money they
were disposed to demand, for fear that serious
publio inconveniences would occur; but we
appeal to the representatives of the people,
who will consider the subject in the
Seleot branch this afternoon, not to
allow this trick to influence them, and
to absolutely refuse to grant the
loan, and thus throw the responsibility of any
unpleasant consequences that may occur
upon the shoulders of the trustees. Since
the Gas Works have been under the present
system of management, the profits have
doubtless been large enough to pay for the
erection of a dozen gas-manufacturing estab
Ushments. lrustee after trustee has grown
rich from his connection with the gas ring,
and the whole theory of the ring has been,
that so long as the interest on the loan was
paid nobody has any right to en
quire into the management of the
Gas Works, and the publio and their repre
sentatives in Council) have no rights that the
trustees were bound to respeot. It is oer
tainly high time that a reform was inaug a
rated, and if (Jouncus refuse to give halt a
million dollars for the erection of new works,
and the people of Philadelphia suffer serious
inoonvenience on account of an insufficient
supply of gas, publio indignation will be ex
cited against the gas ring to such an extent
that a new order of things may be expeoted
to follow. Now is the time for the members
of Counoils who have the interests of the
publio at heart to make an exhibition of
manly independence tnat cannot but nave a
most salutary effect, and that will greatly in
crease their popularity with the long-suffer
ing tax-payers of Philadelphia.
The report of the Board of Managers of the
Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steamship
Company, which was presented to the annual
meeting of the stockholders yesterday, ex
hibits a gratifying increase in the current
business of the year, and affords good ground
for the hope that it will be in every sense
remunerative when its inward freights are in
creased, as they will be after the American
Steamship Company furnishes facilities for
the transportation of surplus Southern pro
ducts from this'port to Europe. A turning.
point seems to have been reached in the com
mercial destinies of Philadelphia, and the
Southern Steamship Company cannot fail to
be greatly benefited by the new order of
things whioh is being rapidly developed.
Josephs and Elliott, members of the
State Legislature, stoutly oontended yester
day that the House had no business of suffi
cient importance to justify a session on Satur
day. This is queer doctrine, considering
the immense number of bills now on file, the
magnitude of the interests of the State
whioh are habitually negleoted, and the hot
haste in which laws are enacted when the
members are in a working mood; and its true
explanation is probably to be found in the
onvenient opportunities afforded by a Satur
day trip to Philadelphia for seeing and being
seen by the men who pull the legislative pup
pets.
IT is sa'4 that there are now 1723 bills on
the file of tie state Senate aad 1738 bills on
the file of th, JJonse. As about ninety-five
out of every hundred of these bills were
drawn up purely private aoeommedation,
ana as many ot the graBt Bp,0ial, impelitio, or
unjust privileges, H u to be hoped that they
win nearly all be killed. by the dead-lock be-

Despttb the precautions taken by the Board
of Indian Commissioners in obtaining cheap
and reliable supplies for their red wards, the
savages will be fearfully discontented if the
war paint furnished i not of the best possi
ble quality. A shoddy blanket, or an edge
less butcher-knife, will cause less dissatisfac
tion in the lodge than vermilion or indigo
which does not come up to the savage stand
ard. The gentle aborigines may be hum
bugged in their whisky, their clothing, or
their implements, but not in their war paint.
That is entirely too important to escape keen
criticism.
Woman Suffraoh seems to meet with more
favor in England than in this country, for a
motion to bring in a bill favoring it was de
feated yesterday in the House of Commons
only by a majority of GO. Mr. Gladstone,
while opposing the measure proposed, ex
pressed a disposition to support the Italian
idea of female suffrage, whioh is founded on
property but exercised by proxy. It will
hardly do, however, for American agitators
to advocate this theory, for here suffrage is
founded on manhood and not on property
and Woodhull, Dickinson, Davis, and com
pany must go for the bondless as well as the
bond-owning portion of their sex, or none.
OBITUARY.
Hon. Thomas .T. Boynton.
The Hon. Thomas J. Boynton, late Judge of
the United States Court of the Southern District
of Florida, died at Bellevue Hospital, New York,
on Tuesday, at the early age of thirty-two. He
was born near Cleveland, Ohio, on August SI,
1833. He received his education at the West,
and, having studied law, was appointed by Pre
sident Lincoln United States District Attorney
for the Southern District of Florida in 1861,
when only twenty-two years of age. The peo
ple of Key West, where the Court was held,
were at that time generally in sympathy with
the Rebellion, and the position was one which
demanded unflinching patriotism and courage,
and more than usual ability. All these qualities
he xmply displayed, and in 1SG3, on the resigna
tion of Judge Marvin, he was appointed by
President Lincoln District Judge. At the time
of his appointment to this responsible post, he
was the youngest United States Judge on the
bench. On the reconstruction of the State, he
was unanimously chosen by the Legislature
Chief Justice of the State, a position which he
declined. About a year ago, he was obliged by
failing health to resign, and his death was the
result of a surgical operation which was the
only hope of saving his life.
