What an Earnest Man Has Ac- complished, Nearly Seven Thousand Pris- oners Taken Care Of. Upwards of Thirty Thousand Dol- lars Earned. Interesting Remarks and Valua- ble Suggestions. The Suparintendent of the House of Correc- ton, Charles E. Felton, cempleted yesterday his rerort of the workings of the institution for the past year, and eubmitted it to the Mayor, to bo esented by him to the Council next Monday aicht, Babjoined is an abstract of the report, e is very interesting: : PRELDIINARY. At the Cate of zesnming the duties of Super- intendent, Jan. 1, 1872, the system of manage- et of the prison was that ususlly in vogue in Jails of the State, the prisoners being confined in their cells, witkout employment, the city pay- ing the Superintendent; in sdditior to 4 nominel aalary, a per diems allovanco for the dicting of eachprisoner. Ths number of inmates was not Lirge, end tho policy of the authorities was to relosse, ~ without Tigid inquiry into the cacse of imprisonment, with a view generally to & reduction of the number of iamétcs. This system of dicting prisoners being espensive, and otber features still more objee- tioazble,the Board directed such changes as were thought to be necessary, at least securing to tho institution in its first year's history EEASONLBLE AND PECUNIARY RESTLTS, snd warranting the liope that, a8 a correctional institution, it may, st an carly day, make claim. The kind of pri€oners in confinement; tho ehort- ness of théir imprisonment ; their Hability to be discharged at any hour by tho payment of the balanca of their fine, or otherwise; the location of the prison, remote from the city, and not ac- cessible for handling material economically; without workshops: tho grounds not enclosed— sll contribated to repder 3 THE TASE OF ORGANIZATION atleast en unpleasant oue, Owing to the em- barressed cond tion of tho city’s finances after the fire, he was not inclined to prees the con- struction of workshops until & more favorable day. Hence, his efforts wero directed to the employment of his available labor at work con- nexted with the institution, enclosing and im- proving the gropnds, fitting up the prisons, establishing discipline among the inmates, and preparing for prodoctive industries. Brick- msking gave to the male prisoners, during the rmimer months, labor for which they. were suited, and was productive of eatisfactory re- fults. Nearly all the femalea who were not re- quired to work for the institution had been em- Ployed in the manufacture of horse-nets and ecre2ns, and in’ washing for the Police Depart- meat. A ERBONEOTS DMPRESSION. Thers was on impression in the minds of Finse not familiar with prison mansgement that the industries of an institution of this kind s0uld pay its ordinary cxpenses; but there was very little competition for its labor when placed in the market, showing a want of confidence in its worth, or fear 3sto the ease of its manage- ment. The labor can bo utilized st many kinds of mechanical industry, and its mSnagement is not subject to a3 great annoyances as are often experienced with free labor. Prisoners desire " tote cmployed, sad aro =pt in adapting their tolent to any industry they may be placed at, and employers ‘are in error in thinking other- wis. Therowasa larger average of intelligent laborin this than in many other city prisons whara prisoners ate employed, and the result of the year'’s expeniences chould give confidence in jts productivenees, if proper enployment was secared- THE FABSINGS, The fotal earnings and receipts for the year wera §29,093.53, and tho expenses €56,561.80. Axnong other receipts was £6,522 for balancas due upon executions. There was a manifest in- juatjce in the Iaw which passed to the credit of the Police Department the money collected from this gource. After piisoners passed cnt of tho bands -of the Eo!wo anthorities, they were brought to the House of Correction and cared foruntil their release b{,fi”““’“‘ of balance due,- yet this money, when. col became the properiy of another fund. Tho cost of frausportation of prisoners, and their care until rolease, ehould bo an expense to that f i tho amount Tecoived was not placed to ihe credit of the House of Correction. Prisou labor had been used in the making of the improvements, and in g and grading the grounds. No skilled Isbor from the city hod a8 yet been required fo rerform any of the npeccssary work. The in- maies were also cngaged in the garden, at manu- :;:Mng thoes, clothing, and bedding for prison EOW EMFLOYED.

The number of the former now in continement is 335. To use at mechanical industry, and at remunerativo prices, iho shortest sentenced inmates required the assistance of tho Iabor of large number of non-prison mecinu- ics, or of long-time convicts, The former was seriougly objectionable for disciplinary and moral reasons. A small number wers received from-the County Court, under extended sen- tences, and, were there appropriate accommo- dztions, those from other counties in the State and the United Scates Courts might be reccived. They would not only assist materialy in working {ho city prisoners, bt would afford & revenus for their care and labor. There were objections to the imprisonment of malesaud females in the same institution, The severity of _discipline which may be maintained at s convict prison could not be obtained in & city prisoa like this. 3loro prison room was needed, and it shonld be obtained by the erection of a prison exclusively for femsalos upon somo other portion of the grounds, and the prosent femalo dopartment be approprinted to the use of male prisoners under loug sentence. INFANTILE PRISONERS. A reforence to the statement above woald show that a Inrge numberof children, chiefly boys betwecn fho ages of 7 _dnd 15 years, were sent to the institution. They wore Dot deemed: prop r subjocts for & Roform School, requiring merel should not be locked in cels, much less in the same. prison_ with criminals, nor yet with the immoral or dissipated. Other provisions should ‘be made for them,—oither in a separata build- ing, or the sotting aside of & portion of ths pres- ent structure for their use. 5 THE HOSLITAL. Different hospital accommodations were re- aired, the present rooms being inadequate. A chapel was also nceded. Tho omission of re- ligious rervices on Sunday during the. year~had been for the want of an appropriate room in which to hold them. Reformatory influencea should ever be present sround o prisoner, and every effort ghould bo mado to roclaim the fallen or the criminal ; still, without extended sentences and facilities for EDUCATING AND IMPROVING THE 3MIND, and with an orgavized force for so doiug, littls could b accomplished in :Dm’exfing into moral and God-fearing citizens those who, from the cradle io maturity, bave lived in atmospheres of viceand crime. Fow instances of reclama- tion may bo found, perbaps. I socioty intend- ed to reduco the number of criminals, the avenues from which criminals come must Le stopped. Ths closing of one nursery of vice and the imprisonment of its keeper would do more to that end than the arrestof all its inmates, 1t was of little use to try reformatory influences upon the adult in prison, . while Little, if any, effort was mado to control and educate the moral life of those more youthfal, who wers now receiving their firat lezsons in vice and crime in the places whence prisoners come. 5 IN CONCLUSION, the Snperintendent says it was not his wish to mako extended observations, or ask for immedi- ate appropriations for purposes which might not promise early iary results, believing that tho changes required could be accomplished withont being writtenup; and that whatever was deemed for the best interests of the institn- tion and the city would receive the enrliest thought and approval of tho Board.

' Tho Register eaid if it could be shown that one of the circnlars was roceived by a policy~ holder, and he was_thereby induced to make an. 2seignment, the circulsr would be competont evidence. Mr. Ayer asserted that such o state of facts could not be shown. No one had received a let~. ter from Mr. Van Inwagen, x Mr. Cooper said Tr. Trade had testified that he received a circular, Mr. Ayer intimated that Trude swore to a lie.

Ayer withdrew his objection, and told Mr. Cooper he could ask any questions he wanted. & b Witness continued: Iam not the guthor of the circular ; do not kmow who wroto it; I did not mail any of them :-recollect that I burned a bundle of them; about one hundred were printed, I think; do not know Mr. Trude; might have had o conversation with him at the office of tho Company.

The present pes culiar condition of public feeling seema likely to make such a duty imperative, notwithstanding the addition~ a1 loases and delaya it will entail. Tho history of such proceedings has not, cven under the most fayorabie circumstances, resulted very satisfactorily for the losers under the policies of insurance. Bolieving it ible, by a plan for speedy settlement, to avold engthened delays, provided s general co-operation is obtalned, I ehould be pleased to sec you at the, office within two or three days, Very raapectfully yours, 3.

At this season of the ear, when the frost was in the very ittle cleaning was required ; but in March, when the weather ia warm, 8 force of men would have to be employed to render the streets and croasings passsble, Hence no relief conld be afforded them at present The Council Committee on Schools, and the Committes on School Fund _ Property, of the Board of Education, held a joint meeting at the City. ~Clark's. office, yesterdsy afternoon. e _subject under consideration was the sition of . th Board of Educatien to rebate 25 per cet on the valuo of the school property holders, tho lesaces baving agreed to pay city the amount due since 1870 at that rate. Ald Alderman Moore pre- sided. Afteran expressionof views, it being generally conceded that no better settlement could be amicably made, the Council Committee agreed to recommend the adoption of the propo- gition. Mr. McNally, of Rand, ly & Co., was present, and stated that, aa soon a8 he coald conter with 3{r. Rand, he would submit s prop- osition either fora part or the whole of the Dearborn school lot, on Madizon street, near Dearborn. The question of rebate on the prop- erty will be decided when the proposition is made. - The astronomical lectare, delivered by Mr. E. Colbert on Tueeday evening, before the West 8ide Christian Union, was listened to with great interest by an sudience which was limited only by the size of the room,—several being unable to gain admittance. ¢ lecture contained & sketch of the growth of sstronomy from the rude ideas of the ancient world to the vast sys- tem of knowledgo which it comprises to-day, and showed how largely many other dspsrtments of physical science depend upon sstronomical investigation, both in regard to the fact of e fit- ence aud value. The lecture also contajfed Bome very interesting allusions to the ancfent mythology, which was shown to bave been, in grurtdpm, the mere outgrowth of attempts to Tecord astronomical facts by the use of symbols, ‘before alphabets wereinvented. The first regu- lar lesson of the courso will be given on Wed- nesd:g evening next, and the indicaticns are that the class will b & large one. WWHO IS THE DEAD BEAT? s Editors Tribune!

THE PERFUMERY WAR. Conference Between the Par- ties Interested. Conditions of Removal Proposed by the Fertilizing Comparg, The Whole Question Thoroughly Discussed. The varions Committees interested, directiy or indirectly, in the business ofthe Northwest- ern Fortilizing Company at Ainsworth, met yesterday afternoon at the Council Chamber to discusa the question further. There were pres- ent_to represent the villaigo of Hydo Dark, lesers. Cady, Hale, and Weldron ; to represent the pork-packers, Mesers. Dow and Culbertson ; to represent the Company, Mr. Leonard Swett, its altorney. A few citizens of the village wero also in the Chamber. Dr. Rauch attended, but did not participate. The Mayor was not pressnt. Mr. Waldron acted as Chairman of the meeting. Mr. Culborteon spoke of thé necessitics of the case. The packing Lusiness would be overin eix or seven weeks, but, nntil that time had passed, it was sbeolutely neces- saty the packing-houses. should ~have eome place to dixpose of their ofal. The pori- packers hoped to hear some proposition on which they could act definitely from the town of Hydo Park. Mr. Cedy said that they were there to receive propositions, not fo make them. The town bad thus far mado all the compromises, but the day of compromiges was passed. Mr. Sweit stated that ho had been conferring with the Fertilizing Cormpany, and had ths fol- lowing proposition to submit to the town of Hyde Perk from that corporation : C. ). Cudy, Esq., President of the Hoard of Trustees of the Viliage of Hinde Park: : Dran Sin: Within the Iast week we have Leen ro- quested to uake 3 proposition in reference to the terms upon which wo wculd remove from the village of Hyde Pack. On making such u_propoeition, allow us to 3y that this Company have o charter permittiog them to carry on thelr Lusinese at a point to be estab- Lished south 0f 3 given live. ~ Having eatallishied such Dbnsivess 2t a given point within the location prescribed, we doubt our right, witkout additional legisiation, 10 mako a relocation. 2. If the preeent location is untenable, and the char- ter faila to protect us there because people living jn the vicinity declareit anuisnce, we sre upsble to see- how ft will - protect us against other people ia acother locality prosccuting s for exactly the same reazon, 3, The establishment is now located thirteen miles trom Chicago, and six miles from the village of Iyde Park, upon the banks of the Calumet,in 3 region sparsely eettled, If the few annoyed by it now ciaim that the packing interest of Chieago must be closed for their relief, and the necoesities of the many yleld to the wishes of the few, we fall to see why a still ymaller number might not urge the same reasan with the zame legal effect. There sre reasons rendering it bazardous to moveat all, and are elements to be cone sidered in {ndemnifying us for removal, ‘There are physical reasons why the Company cannot poesibly move in time to relfevo the packersthis sca- son. Its buildings have been recently burned, but thrée-fourths of the machinery used for drying ani- mal matter has been saved, and is upon the ground. If not interfered with, we can, in iwenty dsys, be en- gaged in the actual manufacturs of material now an the ground, and three-fourtha as rapidly as befors tho fire. With other additions, to be made before the spring opens, we will take careof the materfal thia year as well s last. ‘Assuming that the Company could go elsewbere, buy a location st oncw, got the material thers, con. struct the buildings, put in the engines, boilers, and drivers, toget sido tracks and new running arrange- ments, will require at least ninety days, By that time the material now at Ainsworth will not be worth the removal and the cost of utilization. The material at Alnaworth is frozen solid, and can- not be moved except at enormous expense until it thaws, It can be converted intoa fertilizer on the ground with sbout as little offense a4 & can be after it thaws, To get a new location between this and the 1at of March, make new arrangements to take care of from 10010200 tons of offal, biood coming daily from the packing-houses, and requiriog immediate re- moval, and at the emetime move the material at worth, s mimply 3 phywical imposeibility. The Northwestern Fertilizing Company commenced business st Alnsworih in 1867. - There was then no was of drying material, except to dry it in the sun. While the business itself ia profitable, the company Lias spent 80 much moneyin testing and perfecting improve- ments tending to remove its offensiveness, that, 8 2 whole, it has not been profitable except within the b yesr,” We have brought ihe business to such a legree of perfection that we shall, through patented procesaes nnder our control, materially lessen its of- fensive features, We have Tecently sustained losscs by fire, but our resources are not in the least impaired, and we shall easily and speedily rocover them if left alone, If, therefore, we can recover our lostes where w8 are, and are ot certain of doing it elsewhere, and you aek a proposition for rempval under the coercion of your ordinance, we think it fair tosay : 1. Pay us what wo have invested in the Villsge of Hyde Park, and, after protecting tho packers this sea- son and working up the material, yon_ehall have, with our blessiug, what we have got in the village. 2. If the first proposition is not acceptable, psy us $50,000 for the expenses of removing our business and the danger of loaing it, and give us ressonablo time to work up the material of the present packing season, and we will remove the establishment beyan: our villge, retaining only onr real estate as corner jots in_the embryo city, which enterprise hopes to bulld there, 3. What we very much prefer is the continusnce of our business where it is, and, under the improvements in our posression and the knowledze we have acquired in it, we believe wo can, after the present spson, army it on without ' being seriously oifens- ive, and better than the mate can_ possbly be ‘disposed of, if our establishment should be cloded, Yours truly, NorTHwEsTERN FERTILIZING COMTANT, By R, W. Ralston, Vice President, A long disenssion followed tho reading of the aper. 5 P Cady wanted to know who was to pay the £50,000. The Board of Trustees have no author- ity to pay 50,000 for any euch purpore. It would necessary to raige it by private sub- ecription. He desired to Jmow if the packers would pay a proportion of the money. Mr, Culbertson thought that the packers should not be expocted to pay any of this money. Their intercst in the whole matter world ceaze in six or geven wecks, after which the case would be entirely between the people of Hyde Park and the Fertilizing Compsny. After this season the packers would take care of their own offal in such a man- ner as to offend the nostrils of mno one. It was the real estate owners who were most in- terested, and they onijzt to pay all uLeciLl dam- sges accruing to the Fertilizing Works for their removal. The benefit to the packers was tem- porary ; that to the.speculators permanent, as their propesty was & fixtare. Mr. Dow was surprised that the people of Hydo Park bad said nothing about the matter until recently. The question was sprung upon them suddenly, snd dusing the Leight of ibo acking season. He spoke at length in regard Bine ‘magnitude of the packing interest in Chi- cago, and said that the constituency which he represented only asked a brief indnigence from thepeople of Hyde Park, which being granted, ho had nothing more to say about the wnole thing. Mr. Hale stated that the question was not a new one. It had been for a long time sgitated. Public meetings had been held at Hyde Park, and the trouble bad bee in the Courts. Every- thing that had been dono had been duly reported in the public prints, and fully spresd beforo the public. He thought that the complaint that the question w2a & now one was hardly just. Mr. Swett was murprised to hear AMr. Hale speak of the previous aspects of the questiop. It was true that the matter had been before the Courts at various times, but in such & manner as to give the Company and the packers confidence n the justice of their claims. The Company hed once been indicted ag a nuisance before Judge XMcAllister, but the Judge had decided that, under the charter, it could continus to carry on business, if due caro were exercised, even if it were a nuisance. Next, the Company wae enjoined from using its platforms in the city, but the injunction was diesalved by Judge Vvilliams, who maintained that, the charter being valid, the Company was entitled to all means essential to carrying on their businees. A bill was found against the establishment by the Grand Jury, but Judge Booth decided that the business could go on under tRe charter, if reasonable caro were exer- ciged. Subsequently the question came before Judge Farwell, and'tho previous decisions re- affirmed. Here were four cases, 2il of which had been decided in favor of the Company, and they had all been reported in the uew:Eapem, but. they were ell of = nature to make tke friends of the Compsny more confdeat in ita rights. Chicago carried-on the packing business under great dissdvantages, Cincinza- ti, St. Louis, and Couacil Bluffs could all carry on the packing business, and the wzate was carried away in & comparatively inoffensive manner by large rivers. Ths offal of the New York packing-Louses wascarried out to sea, and thus rendered innocuona. Chicago coald do neither of these thingd, and ths bosiness here was jeopardized, if the oZal could not be dis- poaed - of with reasomable fecility. It might Iy be exid that 250,000 was too much. He elt himself authorized, therefore, to uay, in the ateence of. the parties chiedly intercsted, that the Compsny might be satisfied if the peoplo of Hsde Dark would pay the actual ex- penses of removal, with & rea- vonable amount for ‘additional freights, The people of Hydo Park seemed to think tho fertilizing institution could be puton wheels #nd run to any point in the vicinity of the city. Tet them. then, find & reasonable compensation ond payif. A place was to be found eome- where; let them tako upon themselves the task of finding that somewhere, and the matter of compensation would then be easily zettled. Alr. Anthony, & lawyer, living at iyds Park, stated that the Union Rendering Establishment was not only willing to take the offal of the pork-Lonses, but would be glad to take it, and it conld be utilized there with very little trouble and cxpanse. Not being 3 member of cither of the Commit- tees, Mr. Anthony was, at this point, ruled out of order. Mr. Anthony was, howerver, allowed to ‘ask if the Company did not, four years ago, sign an agreement to leave in two years ? Mr. Culbertson eaid that'he heard of such an agrecment for the firet time yeaterdsy. Mr. Swett aleo heard of the agrecment for the first time yesterday. He belioved it was made in writing. If there really existed a paper in which the Company agreed to waive its chartered rights, ke would be glad to eeo it. _“Mr. Cady stated that such a document Liad ox- isted, Lut'it had been burned in Mr, Shormnan's office at the time of thegreat fire. But there were arties who would swear to its contents, It und tha Fertilizing Company to submit to the municig)nl regulations of Hyde Park. Mr. Swett explained that such a paper did not necesearily take sway any chartered rights of the Company. It wonld be amenabla to all the mu- nicipal regalations of the village, oven if such a document had never cxisted. Mr. Cady did not desire to diecuss this point ; he wanted to stick closer to the subject ir hand. _Mr. Culbertson wondered where the South Side drives and boulayards would have been ex- cept for the pork-packing interest. The discussion continued =% considerable length, but, informally, the speeches being gen- enerally not to exceed ten geconds in length. It did not appear from the argumenta that any one wanted moro than his rights, but_all were in- clined to be strenuous in regard to these. . Mr. Hall eaid, amnong many other things, that he thonght that by bringing their action at law againat the Company now, gave them a certain sadvantage, as the buildings of the Company had. been burned down, and a less ameunt of money was involved. £ Mr. Swett exid that three-fourths of the ma~ chinery had been eaved, and, though the ques- tion of property woald have been one to be con- sidered by & Court when tho establichment was built, it was g0 no longer. | An adjournment was proposed, in order to allow the various intereats time to see what could be done toward raising the money. Mr. Cady stated that, in the meantimo, the Hyde Parkers would put their csse in the Courta. An adjournment was finally decided upon, and the question will be rediscussed, with what new light can be thrown upon it, next Wednesdsy af- ternoon, at 2 o'clock. THE LAW COURTS. - NOTES OF INTEREST. A melancholy instance of the malign infla. ence of alcohol is givenin the prayer for divorce of Charles E. Flaunery. Petitioner relates that he married bis present wife, Elizabeth Ann, in Qctober, 1869, that o child was born in Septem- ‘ber, 1870, that his wife thereafter took to drink- ing, and eo rapidly fell away from modesty, de- cency, and propriety that his friends inefectu- ally interfered in her reform, and he ultimately bed to fly from her, with his child, sa from an incorrigibly base and debauched woman; that she forthwith took the next and lowest step in evil, and now lives by adulterous practices in Foweraville, Howell, and other placesin Michi- gnn, and that he has heard but little of her, and 28 resolved in briaging up hischild secure from her example. 'Tis but another sister fallen. J. Young Scammon signed the petition of the Assignee of the Root & Cady estate, to sell the stock at 60 per cent of its invoiced price to the firm of Root & Son, assenting to such a course “5s a creditor, and representing a majority in number and value of all the claims sgainst the estate.” Yesterdsy Norman C. Perkins, in be- half of Chauncey M. Cady, opposed such a course, averring that the price was * yrossly in- adequate.” In this protest against the sacrifice of four-tenths of the estate by a rale to Boot & 8on, Alr. Root, Cady’s ;&:u-tnu, is cnnu&icmgly absent. Tho projected salo of Root & Cadv'a stock, it is thought, might have been intended to eau-ilwm: it the sale of Root & Cady’s good will, which is valuable. Mathias Theodore Grosman is 8 Hungarian of Evanston, who affirms that ho raade a contract with Josiah H. Bissell, attorney, of this city, to sell him & piece of land for £12,000, which is honestly worth 216,000, esid contract being sub- ject to a good titlo; and that he has furnished tho title; that Bissell objects to it, and wiil neither relinquish the contract nor pay the money, He therofore nrays the Court to remove the clond from his title. His wife and family are in Hungary, the former sick, and needinj his presence, and he wants to sell his land an be gone. Thaddens B.
