THE PHILADELPHIA COUNTY PRISON—
EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL DEPORT.
The eighteenth annual report of the Inspectors
of the Philadelphia County Prison is iu hand. From
it we learn that the affairs of the prison during the
?ast year have been In a satisfactory condition.
‘he increase In expenditure has not been large, In
view of the universal expansion of prices.
STATISTICS*
The usual statistical tables are appended to the re
port, and furnish interesting information on various
points connected with the criminal department of the
iKe total number of commitments for the year 1834
was only 14,037, a considerable decrease over those of
1563, which were 17,219. The number for 1864 was lees
than for 11-62—14,643. Compared with the commitments
for 1850, (the year preceding the war), which amounted
to 20,801, we find a very striking difference, a decrease
of nearly one third This is readily accounted for; but
the rather marked contrast In the number of commit
ments for 1803, and those of 1832 and 1864, is nos bo
The ratio of white females committed for 1*64 is al
most the same as for toe three years since tbe war com ,
menced. For 1834, 4 771 white females, against 8 093
white males. For 1863, 5,660 white females, against
3.949 white males. For 1832, a 853 white females, against
B,l99white males In 1860 there were only 4.6$ white
females sommiUed, against 14,646 white males, or less
than One-third; wiilefortbe last three years the pro
portion has been more than one-half, and the entire
number of commitments of white females has been ac
tually larger, notwithstanding the great decrease in
the whole number of both sexes Committed.
ABANDONED WOMEN,
The report states in regard to the cause of the marked
increase in the white female population, that It can
scarcely be doubted that during the last four years the
distribution of large gratuities of money to a class of
females unaccustomed to moral restraint, and deprived
of the control of their ordinary protectors, has been a
fruitful sourcerof vagrancy and crime.
THB .KFPSOTB OF INTBUPKEANOB,
The statistic* nf the last year furnish the same large
proportion of orates referable to drunkenness, tif the
whole number of-commtimenta for the year, viz: 14,037,
more' than three fourths, viz: 10,fit7, were lor causes,
directly or isoireotiy, the result of the abuse of intoxi
cating drinks. The ratio of commitments for these
causes has never been so large as during the past year,
Mi it certainly claims the earnest attention of the
legislative authority of our State The board deem its
to-be their duty to ask some modification of the present
Injurious license system. Realizing the certainty that
at the close of the war great numbers of men, with
weakened moral restraints and irregular habits, will
he throws upon our large cities, we should surely pro
vide some cheek upon the temptations to vice which
now meet us at every step
, Of the 10,667 commitments referred to causes depen
dent upon drunkenness, 1,2t6 were for intoxication,
against 908 for 1833; 1,100 for vagrancy, against 1,783 for
1863; 1,543 for assault and battery, against 1,725 for
1863; 0,098 for disorderly conduct, abuse and threats,
against 7,625 for 1863. we notice, since the commence
ment of the war, a decrease in the proportion of com
mitments for mere vagrancy, and an increase in those
for disorderly conduct and sssanit and battery.
Of the 14,C67 commitments for 1864, neatly one-half,
3.931, were afterwards discharged by the committing
magistrates, and 216 were ignored by the Grand Jury.
This large proportion of discharges Is the mere record
«f an almost equal number of commitments for unae*
•cessary or trivial causes, and is discreditable to the
magistracy of our city. The Board have repeatedly ex
pressed the opinion that a. radical reform Is cabled for
In tbe administration of this system. For a long series
of years, the abuser practiced by commuting magis
trates have been a suhiect of concern ; and as fax back
as 1822, the Legislature was memorialized by the Society
.for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons, 10 inter
fere with the evil: Repeated efforts have been since
made to effect a desirable change, but without success.
Amongfche reforms urged by the Board have been: 1
That police magistrates should receive their appoint
ments from tbe Executive or the courts, under a goed-
SSMIi 01 ’ tenure. Instead of from popnlax election. 2.
That they should be learned iniheiaw And 3 The
-abolition of costs and fees as magistral perquisites. If
couctimtioctti provision* are in the way of the two
first of these recommendations, we respectfully urge
•upon the Legislature the adoption of the third- No
greater improvement could be m*de in the administra
tion ei criminal justice than a fixed compensation for*
*our ir agtetracr; and we believe that aqch achangeis
*«■}»« With great favour community.
Thg floras of Jit-arises, Is use Journal of the prison
agent, tarnish abundant evidence teat the present sys-
Temofmegittracy isane£gin*tof iraud, extortion, and 1
oppression. The duties of this officer are chiefly d* voted
to the abatement and restraint of oppressive and illegal
acts on the part of committing magistrate! ’
Of the 10,£87 commitments for vagrancy, drunken
ness, and disorderly' conduct. 4,397 were discharged
before the expiration of the term of commitment. In
ih« male corridors the inspectors had it in their power
to exercise needful discretion In the discharge of this
class of offenders,but the number of inmates on the fe
male side prevents any systematized effort to interpose
detention in the prison, as a check upon vagrancy and
kindred offences Increased accommodation for female
prisoners is a serious desideratum, not only for proper
•discipline, but ato in a sanitary point ofview. The
Debtors’ Apartment, adjoining the prison, might be
usefully placed within the com rol of the Board for this
purpose The expenses of this department ($1,692 37)
are altogether disproportionate to the small number or
inmates confined therein, who could be accommodated
in the main prison. The Board respectfully renew the
request, so often presented to the Legislature, to pass
an act transferring the control of the Debtors’ Apart
ment to this body
Tbe addition of the Debtors’ Apartment to the accom
modalion of the prison woa } d, to a certain extent, aup
fly the need of a House of Correction and Bmployn enh
t i-hotUd be borne in mind, too, that at the close of the
war. which, we trust, cannot b& very distant, a large
increase of the population of the prison may be expect
ed. Considerable time must elapse before me erection
either of a new prison, or a House of Correction (one or
the other of which wifi be imperatively demanded.) In
the meantime the Debtors’ Apartment might &e turned
to useful account.
, The MunicipalMoapitaMor contflgious diseases,-which
has been erected under a commission, composed of re
presenlatives from the Board of He<n, of tbe Poor,and
of the Prison, Is now completed, and will be shortly
placed in the hands of the Board of Health.
The profits of the Manufacturing Department for the
past year amounted to $2,196, a decrease over the last
year, when they were $2,554.02 This was owing to the
increased price of the raw material.
During the past year two deaths occurred in the con
vict department of the prison: a black woman. No.
1177, from chronic diarrhcea and a white woman, No.
1003, from ascites. In the beginning of the present
winter typhus fever made its appearance in the female
department, a&d attacked ten convlcte aud five untried
prisoners, and also the matron and assistant matron
The services of the Agent, Mr. W. J. Mullen, are
eminently useful and acceptable, in the performance
of the peculiar duties whicn devolve upon him. The
Board entertain usdlminished confidence in hie in
tegrity and zeal in the execution of the delicate and re
sponsible functions of his office.
The usual table subjoined makes comparison of the
expenses of the prison since the organization of the
present Board, In July, 18£0, with those of former
YtarlBs4 there were 11,588 prisoners, costing $78,288 18
1865 do 14,794 do do 85 499 37
1860 do 14,981 do do 90.351 78

1864 do 14,067 do do 58.737 51
From the amount expended for 1864 two deductions
are to be made: 1, The sum returned to the City Treasu
ry at the profits of the Manufacturing Department above
the sum appropriated for the purchase of raw znaterUl,
viz., $2,196. 2, Tte amount received for the support of
the united States prisoners, viz , $546.12 The actual
cost to the county for the support of the prison during
the past year was $56,995 89.

A large number of police officers were detailed to ride
in car No. 0, on the sixth day of Maioh, expressly for
the purpose of keeping au account of the number of
passengers—those-who paid and those who came under
the grave cognomen of * * dead heads. ’ ’ On this impor
tant and interesting part of the programme the following
evidence was elicited;
'William Hought sworn —1 recognize the defendant as
conductor of car Ao 6:1 got on the ear at half*past six
olclock in the morning* at the comer of Seventeenth and
Wallace streets; there were three passengers in the car
at the time; twenty-nine more got Id white on the down
trip; this number paid the conductor—l include myself;
on the up trip 1 got on the car at eight minutes before
fix o'clock, evening; it was quite light, and the lamps
were lighted in the car; thirty-one adult passengers and
a little girl took passage on the up trip.
Cross examined —I did not at e the three passengers
pay who were in the car when I got in on the down trip;
twenty-nine passengers did pay. including myself; I
was in citizen’s drees, seated In the .corner of the car.
Question. “ What whet e you seated there for?”
Answer “ Particular business ”
Q. “ What particular business?”
The witness somewhat hesitated* whereupon Mr
Mann said, “Speak it out.”
A. “My particular business was to watch the con
ductor* and note down the number of passengers on the
trip.”
Q.J* Who ordered you to do this?”
A. *1 received xuyiiistniotlonsatthe station house. ”
Q “Prom whom?”
a. “Prom my superior officer.”
On the up trip I sat in the same position as I did In the
morning; I saw the conductor go to the passengers and
take their fare; saw a gentleman and two ladies get in;
the gentleman made a payment for all three.
John P. MujTay sworn.—l got in cefendant’s ear at
Second and Wharton streets, on the morslag of the 6th
inst.; it was twenty-three minutes past *even o’clock;
there were two passengers in the car when I entered;
sixteen passengers not in on tie trip; the conductor re
ceived thelir faxes; linc'udemine;l went down in the'

there were twenty-four adult passengers and five child*

receive fare from 18 passengers: there were 19 passen
gers on the up trip; there were 26 passengers on the
do wn trip; saw conductor lake fare from 18 of them: the
other 6 were in the car before I got la.
The evidence here dosed. , , ‘ , , .
Mr. Maun having made a calculation as to the busl
reepdote, eald: Is seems that the conduo or received
fare from 228 passengers, and thattheie were 277 passsn-
S train the car eil told. Tbe return made by the on
actor of fares received was from 194 passengers. The
return of number of passengers SlB. There are 69
passengers not accounted for, and the conductor lacks
is his return o * money that received from 35 passengers,
showing at least a deficit of $2 46. to say nothing of 59
passengers not accounted for. I ask that the defendant
be boned over to answer at court.
- Mr.. Goforth, oounselfor defence*.said: “If there is
a mistake my client is ready to pay. ’ ’
Mr Mann replied: This is embezzlement under the
act of Assembly; he seems to have missed In his account
one fourth of the number of passengers, while,the.
money return shows him short to the extent of more
that $2. This, with $2 per day wager* may probably
explain why it is that men desire to leave other em
psoyment* at which they make good wages, toeugage in
the butdnesß of a car conductor, commencing work at
3or 4 o’clock in the morning. . „ ~ _
The defendant was hound over in the sum of $1,009
to answer.
