FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1868
PRISON AGENT'S REPORT.
There is an y exaellont ASsociation called the
c , Philadelphia ,SocieiY :for Alleviating the
; Miseries of Public Prisons." Mr. WlrliAtt
J. Idnimns, the ageht:ct this Socte,ty, has just
issued -his fourth annual report. The result
, shows that, in 1869; through the, Society's
instrnmentality, 1,240 persons havo boon re ?
teased from prison, ec most of whom were in
nocent, or whose real' Offences, "tipon:itivestl 7
gation, were found to be of such a trivial na
ture as not to justify their imprisonment."
Homes and employment wore found for 'IBQ
of these. It appeared that cc very few of the
whole number liberated were committed' for
sufficient:Cause," which triflingleature hay
ing been made patent to the liagistratea and
Court, t , their liberation ,NVISS effecteg in most
Instances without costa.'!, .Yory liberal. truly

Whatever. This is what the Society espended,
the merest trifle as compared with the amount
of good "produced. To tho tax-payers, who
would have had to feed these unfortunate
people, the estimated saying, in cost of food; , is
$4,236, and had each case been sent before the
Grand Jury, 'with a certainty of falling to the
ground, there would havo been an addition of
$4,008 in law expenses. -In eacli cage where a
bill of indictment had been found, imposing
the necessity and oxpense,of a jury trial, these
expenses would have been three times greater,
as the city haii to pay the costs when the ac
cused is acquitted.
Magistrates, we humbly submit, cannot be
too careful how they exercise the power of
committing accused parties for• trial. Mr.
Mummy very truly says : to The present
system of dispensing justice is uncertain, and
very far short of what it should be. Petty
quarrels, originating from trifling causes, not
mithquently engender bad passions ; and for
revenge, persons hasten to a magistrate
and matte oath against the opposite party,
in most cases having no substantial foun
dation ; and the one who arrives last at
the office is usually the victim." The
magistrate really exercises a great responsi
bility. Not only is imprisonment a heavy
:punishment to the accused, who may be inno
cent, but It affects the families of these parties.
Me taint well put thus: "It does not need
much stretch of the imagination to understand,
that when the head of a family is Imprisoned;
there maybe much suffering among wives and
children: The release of these persons has,
in the aggregate; saved to them twenty-one
thousand one hundred and ninety'days, or en
average of about seventeen days each. Esti-
Mating their labor at seventy-five cents per day,
it would amount to the sum of $15,892.50."
lforeoier, when an innocent person is sent to
prison, upon little or no grounds, :sometimes
through carelesstess, sometimes through ig
norance, sometimes through an assumption
of power by the, magistrate, his mind is thereby
made a rebel against the law; it ought to have
shielded him, but it smote him down, and who
carov - 4ridcr if he quarrel with it.
"Tho Commitments for - 1867 were 15,544 p• -
"ments and recommitments for vagrancy; of
the whole number, but 543 upon trial were
found guilty and sentenced-371 to hard labor
and 172 without labor. Of the 6,815 bills acted
on by the Grand Jury, 2,705 were ignored.
That is, and the fact cannot be too widely
made public, the Grand Jury decided, upon
evidence, that nearly one-half the cases brought
before them did not contain so much prima
facie appearance of guilt as to warrant their
being plated upon trial. Nay, it seems that
though 3,080 true bills were found, only 543
persons were found guilty and sentenced upon
trial, and of these 371 had to undergo hard
labor-, while 172 were awarded simple imprison-
went, without labor.
We are bound to allow Mr. Mutav (Who
appears perfectly adapted to the difficult and
philanthropic office which ho holds) to state,
in his own words, a single one of the more
striking cases in which ho was successful in
rescuing innocence from unmerited punish
ment. Their truth is strongly vouched for by
the Committee of the Society, who c , have
made inquiries of the highest authority, (the
Judges, District Attorney, and Records,) and
have had them all confirmed." Ho says:
"The growing practice of perjury, In many cases
from sheer ignorance, and wilfully in others,
is as
suming an alarming aspect and has now become
n fearful feature in the cause of crime. No man's
life or liberty is safe under this disregard of obli
gations, that should hind man to man and men to
. .
their Creator. The District Attorney recently in
nddreitsing n jury, raid, that it was necessary they
should carefully scrutinize the testimony of the
witnesses, not only in the case then before them,
but in all oases that might come under their no•
tine. Its Enid that he knew plenty of men in the
city, who could be hired for a glans of grog, or for
fifty cents, to swear falsely, and to testily, to please
Interested parties.
" That there were many such constantly prowl
ing round the court-room, seeking for a job ; and
be boil no doubt many wore within the hearing of
his voice a,. that time. That ho could produce the
men if required, at almost a moment's notice ; and
in view of such a state of things, he felt it to bo
his duty to put the jury on their guard. The
truthfulness of this statement, made by the Dis
trict Attorney in opou court, can be fully corrobo
rated by facts that have come under the olssorva-
thin of the agent.
A man of good character was arrested, tried,
convicted, and sentenced to nine months'impri
sonment at hard labor in the County Prism,
charged with the larceny of $l7O in gold. When
arrested, a purse was found upon his person con
taining $220. At the time of hie conviction tho
court ordered $l7O, out of the $220, to be paid to
the prosecutor. Immediately after the conviction,
the agent, at the request of several respeetable
citizens, took the matter in hand, and gars it
a thorough investigation; when it was ascer
tained to the satisfaction of the court, that
the prisoner was innocent. It was proven
by the affidavits of bight persons, that the
money had been received from them ; and that it
MU his own earnings, to which he wee justly en
titled. It was proven also, that ho had boon soon
with the money previous to the alleged robbery.
When these facts were proitented to the court, to
gether with the evidences of good character, the
sardine() was reconsidered by the judge, it being
within tiro same terra, and the prisoner discharged.
lie was then restored to his family and business,
and saved from ruin. But the teensy taken from
him, the $l7O, was not restored: the perjurer had
fled with the money, and could not be found."
In a schedule affixed to this report the agent
sums up what was saved to the county, in
1857, through his intervention, in obtaining
the liberation of 1,249 persons who, it is clear,
had been wrongfully confined, under color of
the law. Amount saved in food, $4,238. Costs
saved, if the cases would only have been ig
nored, $1,008.80. Coils saved, if the cases
would all have been tried, $12,824. Saved to
the prisoners, at the ratio of 7.5 cents per day )
$15,892.50. Number of days saved to the
prisoners by their release, 21,100. Paid to
District Attorney, $33.95 ; paid to Aldermen
and others, sl79.2o—total, $213.15. This
last item requires explanation. If any Al
derman had wrongfully committed a man,
it is more consonant with justice that he
should pay the victim of his wrong-doing,
than demand a fee for his liberation. But, as
regards $213 expended to procure the freedom
of 1,249 prisoners, it is an amount lower than
any economy could have anticipated, and it
enables Us very heartily to endorse the praises
given to Mr. ilturAmr, for discretion, upright
ness, and faithfulness, by the Inspectors of
"the Prison, by the Grand Jury on their Pre
sentment, and by Judge Thompson in his cow
mentrp on that document, In his work of Mt-
inanity, he has quietly won mote real glory
than if he had conquered a hostile army on
:the battle-field.

it was a monstrous usurpation end perversion and
a miserable subterfuge to place that Constitution
bethro the people in such a way no to oblige them
to vote for it if they voted at all. Besides, even if
they voted for the Constitution without slavery,
they voted for a clause in that Constitution
which provided that all slaves, then in Ran
sas, and their descendants, should be until
in bondage forever ; so that, In point of Met,
a vote under the Constitution was not only a vote
for that instrument, but it was it vote for it with
slavery in one form or another. Anything short
of submitting the whole Constitution to thu popu
lar will was apmekory, a delusion, anti a snare. If
there had beon In the Lecomplon Convention a full

Gov. Wire says :
, watt - iFeit no that an instrument of this
dignitY, that rePublionn government ' itself, was
butt to be submitted in its form and plan proposed,
to the only lawful sovereigns—the organized peo
ple—not a mere mass of perscab,'but the bona fido
inhabitants and legal voters of the State to be
governed, for their ;election, (o adopt or reject
it• -DS jure, I say it ought to have been bo
submitted. Pate and : undefiled republican
ism, concervativo Democracy,' required that
it should bo so submittod. Thorn in no mob
ocracy in that idea. It is even, just, steady, or
ganized; free, topoblican action; the law of popu
lar liberty, defined by citizenship and the rule of
election,
and is-the true example of essential sove
reignty in the people. Instead of so submitting
this proposed Constitution by the more agant,'the
Convention, deferentially to the principles,' the
organned sovoroitu peeple, , there was r a usurpation
—a withholding from them of a fair, free, full, and
equal election to choose or not to choose their own
Constitution of self-government. It was ez parse;
it was all on one side; it was, in gambling phrase,
the foul ' Heads I win and tails yen lose ;' the
Constitution was obliged. to - be adopted, with the i
clause or without the clause; the vote was bound
to bo for the Constitution ;it was all, pro end
no ron; and wo say that was no submission to an
election at all. I.:notion: is ohoico of alternatives—
to adopt or to reject; to' relent as' well as adopt;
to adopt as well no reject. There woe no choice in
this ease, and no equality of voters in the ease.
Three men went to the polls: A said, '1 vote for
the Constitution with or without the clause;' bat
D and 0 said, We vote against it, with or with
out the clause.' A's vote was counted, Ws end,o's
wore not to be counted, and thus ono was made
not only to offsot two, but to bo solo substitute
in foot for three against tho majority of two to
one out of three. Now this was but the unveiled
trickery and shameleas fraud of a so-eallid
schedule. Thera was neither right nor justice in
it The Democracy of Virginia at least scorns a
this of any sort founded on a fraud, occult or palpa
ble, like this."
Audi would like to know whether the DeMocracy
of Pennsylvania are not bound to reject the fruits
of falsehood equally with the Democracy of Vir
ginia. Governor Wise continuos :
" Wo say that, as between the Convention of
Looompton and the people of Kansas,'the question
wag ono (Is jure, and de jure the whole Constitu
tion in all its parts ought to have been submitted
to all the legal voters pro and con, and the two
voters ought to have labor' allowed their voices
against it as well as the ono voter.his voice for it.
And, so far as slavery is concerned, It made the
ease worse against that species of property, to
submit the slavery clause alone to the election of
the people. Why discriminuto in respect to that
' peculiar Institution?' Is it because it was pecu
liar? If we contend for anythins eskiecially it is
that our property shell not to distinguished or dis
criminated from other properly in legislation.
It stands on the same footing of' right to pro
tection and preservation which Is claimed for any
other description of thing owned or pored by
others as property. Why was this, singled out for
sus ; Mitten? Was it not enough

nation against slavery in this schedule of sub
oils-ion ? was ground enough to make
pro-slavery partisans reject it. In foot, and
of right, if the Constitution hail not been
submitted at all, in whole or in part, to tho peo
ple, it would have been more impartial, and
more just to the slaveholder, than as it was sub
mitted. If there be any mistaken, and misguided,
and misguiding parties in the South, who would be
guilty of arraying against the quid rights of slave
property, the irresistible and indisputable rights of
popular sovereignty, wo would have our property
from the guardianship of such folly, and rely,
as properly and protection must always most
safely rely, rather upon law and Order, and the
rule of justice and fair dealing—to , ask nothing
but what is right, and submit to nothing whioli is
wrong.' On the ground of pulley, then, us well
as do jure, the whole Constitution ought to have
been aubmitted to all the legal voters without
fear, favor, fraud, or force."
Fellow-eitizons, from the extracts which I have
just read you can judge the honest sentiment of
the !mputable portion of the South. Some of
them may be willing to avail themselves of the
degradation of shameless politicians of the North;
but none of them' will eully their own hands by
performing this filthy work.
Do you not blush with mingled shame and in
dignation at the impending possibility that by
Pennsylvania votes a legal despotism may be 09-
tablished in the Territories, in defiance of your
wishes, in derogation of your rights,and—miserable
consolation!—to the unending infamy of the sees ile
wietelies who may permit themselves to bo used
for such unholy purposes llinuien- , e applause.)
The molanoholy trouble is this. Upon the quos
tion of the right of the people to govern them
selves, upon the question whether or not that doc
trine has been applied in the case of linnsas or any
other Territory, there would be no difference of
opinion, was it not fir the modern morbid thirst

therefore, to speak the language of freemen. Our
tongues aro not tied, our hands are not bound,
our souls are not enslaved. (Applause.] From
our mountain-tops wo inhale the air of
liberty, and can pity those who are eon
damned to breathe the noxious vapors
whiali surround the panderers of power, and
whose political constitutions are enfeebled by the
centaet to which they aro condemned. For this
principle, announced in the Declaration of Inde
pendence, bur fathers were willing to shed their
blood, but for this principle there are those in these
degenerate 110)e who are not willing to run the
visk of losing otilee, but are ready, for the sake of
personal ag.vandizement, to proclaim their own
infamy, dishonor the memory of the dead, and sell
the birthright of future generations. The remedy
is with the people. As it is the rights of the peo

Judge Ludlow. Do you say, as a medial man,
that trom two_ days' observation ..you are able to
determine the question of hallucination of mind?
Witness. Ido not; I only say that I have seen
nt, symptema sinee the verdict.
Judge Ludlow. I feel it my duty to satisfy my
self in reference to the prisoner's condition of mind,
because it was testified to on fife trial that there
is another person against whom he hug uttered
threats.
Mr. Thayer. I hare satisfied :myself by inquiry,
your Honor, that for the person alluded to Mr.
gniith outertains none other than the kindest feel
ings.
To Judge Allison. Since the confinement of the
prisoner I hove not heard hint make threats
against bls wife ; lie spoke of obtaining a divorce ;
arial-he-e4tabout her acuonnfal to no mere than
frolin „ , ,
of acquittal was renated, he wished ma to proceed
at onoo in obtaining a divorce from his wife. I
saw him afterwards in the debtor's apartment, and
upon signing the formal petition to the Legisla.
lure, as r:quired, ho showed a good deal of feeling,
and said, that is the last I shall kayo do with the
poor woman. I have learned that neither the
wifo nor her father will resist the application for a
divorce. Ina conversation with the wife yester
day, eho es stated to mo. The father designs to
take her to his home.
Mary E. Smith, affirmed. brother entertains
no ill-feeling towards his wife; he said yesterday
Lint ho would do her no harm; I heard him speak
of her a number of times, but never ins way that
manifested a disposition to do her harm; he ex
pressed pity for the faults of an erring woman;
have no reason to think be would commit violence
if liberated; I propos., taking him to New Castle
county, Delaware, whore he will be free from ex
citement.
Mr. Mann said that ho had personally no ob
jection to the delivery of the prisoner to the cus
tody et his friends. He thought that his condi
tion is mild be improved by it, and did not imagine
fore moment that any danger would result from it.
His duty, however, compelled him to say that,
in his opinion, the act of 1845 took away the dis
cretionary power of the court, and that the court
was compelled, under the act, to send the prisoner
to the State Lunatie Asylum.
Mr. Loughead differed with his colleague. He
thought the court had Iji9cretionary power, and
that humanity dictated such a °curse.
Judge Allison said, that in the suggestion of the
District Attorney, that the act of 1945, which au
thorizes the court to deliver a defendant acquit
ted, on the ground of insanity at the time of the
commissiou of an act, into the custody of his
friends, was repealed by the not of 1818, establish
ing a StAte Lunatic Asylum, the court did not con
cur. It was nut pretended there were ?any words
of express repeal, but that it followed :IS a neces
sary implication. The two actrs of Assembly could
very well stand together, as applicable to cases
entirely different iu their character. If the court
should be satisfied that the gaiety of society re
quired the committal of an insane defendant
to the State Lunatic Asylum, because of
his conviction of a disposition to do violence to
the property or lives of others, then their course
would be a very clear one, and they would he re
quired to guard against this danger by ordering
the defendant to be sent to the asylum. Such pro
tection is undoubtedly the princdpal object con
templated by the act. But where a case is pre
sented in which there is no reasonable or well
grounded apprehension of the existence of tomb
danger, then the most humane and proper course,
under any aspect in which Otto case maybe viewed,
is to hand him over to the custody of his friends.
upon their giving bond, in the language of the
law, that by seclusion or otherwise, lie shall not
commit any mime.
An application for this purpose was presented to
the court, upon the petition of the sister of the de
fendant, immediately following the rendition of
the verdict ; but from what had developed itself
during the progress of the trial, of the existent°
of a disposition or intention on the part of the de
fendant, if an opportunity presented itself, to
violence upon his wife, the court deemed it
but right and proper, to defer action until proof
should he offered that no such danger existed now,
end that with safety to tho community, and es
pecially to the person against whom this feeling
was manifested, the order prayed for could be
made.
. .
Tho testimony of the witnesses examined this
morning satisfies us that the defendant, gofer from
entertaining a resentment toward his wife, regards
her rather with pity and compassion; that no harm
will result to her by handing him ever to the custody
of hissister, who proposes to removehim to the State
of Delaware, whilst that the father of Mrs. Smith
it ill take her in another direction, to his home in
Wilkesbarro; so that, under any circumstances,
the parties will bo far separated from each other.
It is this conviction which the proof has brought
home to the minds of Judge. Ludlow and myself,
that has induced us to melte the order asked for,
and we therefore direct that the defendant be com
mitted to the custody of his sister, upon bond be
ing given in the sum of 55,000, upon the conditions
„ m a c ," i n th e ne t of Assembly. We deem it right
to say that, had we been led to is different conclu
sion, we would have refused to make the order,
and would have felt it to be our duty to have sent
the defendant to the State Lunatic Asylum; that
the fluid disposition of an insane defendant is sub
ject to the judgment of the court, upon the facts of
the coso touching the safety or otherwise of his
enlargement
Judge Ludlow gave tile reason which induced
him to come to tiro conclusion ho did. It was that
lie was , atistied, from the testimony adduced, that
the hallucination which existed in the pri,vners
mind before the trial had disappeared ; and that
no danger to the public pethie would result from
his liberation.
The required bail was then entered by John F.
Keen, and Smith left tho court room in company
with his friends.

The Murder Trial-be Portland, Ne.
The trial of Abraham Cox and Peter Williams,

CITY POLICE--JAsuAwr 21.
[Reported for The Preas.l
CREATED INTO REPENTIiNCN.—David. Coggswell,
a young gentleman from New England, at present
engaged in selling small wars from a stand in
Second 'street, charged Luke Rankin, a journeyman
harness-maker, with stealing a dicer watch, the
property of said Coggswell. Rankin, on the other
hand, alleged that David bad extorted an admis
sion' of the theft from him by unfair`rneans,
and that he bad not been exactly aware oewhat he
was saying. Coggswell and Rankin occupy the
same apartment in a boarding-house in North
Second steGot, and Mr.„o., on discovering that his
watch had disappeared, could think of no
one on whom suspicion could more appropriately
rest than en his room-mate. He hinted his sus
picion rather plainly, but Rankin indignantly re
pelled the imputation ; and Mr. Coggswell, feign
ing to be convinced of his innocence, ordered, by
way of a peace-offering, two T ls_no% of porter-san
game ftoxn a neighboring hotel.
. A moment or two aftei Rankin Ind swallowed
his draught, his face became "eery much elongated,
and his month began to open and shot with coral
sive, ontlislidike movements.
" afraid there was something wrong &boat
that porter," remarked he; iipprehensively.
" It was the right sort for nth p fellow as you,"
significantly replied Coggswell.
"What do you mean ?" whispered 8., "'taint
possible you put anything in it ?"
" Welt," coolly answered Coggswell, "as you
never were of much use to yourself, or anybody
else, I thought I might D 9 well treat you to a little
strychnine."
"Oh !--ouch !—murder !—seirsors !" roared the
affrighted Luke. -You've done for me. Dave Coggs
well. Run. you sinner : and get the landlady to lend
mo ' The Afflicted Man's Companion!"
"The old Harry will be your companion, I
guess." returned Cogswell ; " but if you have any
thing on your mind, you'd better make a clean
breast of it at ones."
'• Oh ! I did—l did take your 'etch—l spouted
it," groaned Rankin.
" Whore , " demanded Coggawell.
" Bother ' I've got no time to talk about that.
I've all ny prayers to say, and don't know ono
without the book. My rascally old father never
sent ens to churoh or Sunday school. Oh dear !
what will become of me?"
" Pooh ! you'll live long enough to be hung,"
said Coggswoll. "It was only syrup of ipecac
that I put in your porter. So you've got to tell
where you spouted riay watch."
But Rankin, enraged at the trick whioh had been
played on him, retracted his confession, and re
futed to give any further account of the missing
property. In the police office, however, he had
another fit of repentance, made a full acknowledg
ment, and was bold to bail to answer for the
larceny.
