Tho nations havo heen slow to establish fostitutions which expe- rience taught them woro a burdensome oxpeuso, aud individuals bave been moro soliciteun to guard against wrong-oers running at largo than to securely hold those already deprived of fre. dom. Plutarch tolls us that tho Greoks had 9 great ropugnanco to prisons, snd only used them for confining debtors to tho State and persons hold for trial, while among tho Romans they wore used for purposes closoly resembling mod- ern police etations or prisons, being only for temporary custody. Originally intended ag places of confinement aud detention rather than punishmaut, prisons wora conatructed and man- aged tu accomplished this evd alone, and conse- quently in tho cheapext maunor possible, with total disrogard to tho rights and privilegon which even convicts are acknowladged to pogsosa, aud malefactora were punished by being condemued to work in mninos or quarrice, by tortures, mn- tilation, or death. = IN EXGLAND 4 the idos of aubatituting confinemont in prison for curporcal puuiabmont frat dawned upon tho minds of legislators. Yet for conturics tho groat- ext iuconvoulencoa and abuses oxlsted in apite of tho ameliorating Iabora of Howard, Bentham, and Sir Whilam Blackstone, Moreover, tho in- stitutions were so unprofitable that tho Govern- mont finally resorted to transportation, and pris- oners sent to Amorica before the Revolution were hired out to planters at ao much per head, and in this system whereby couvicts came to bo & source of profit to tho State, is found the germ of that prowth, which bas gained for Amencs the reputation of having, not only architecturally, but also diuanvially, the bust prisons in the would. Endeavors to thus A RENDER THESE INSTITUTIONS SELT-aUPPONTING have been becoming more satisfactory from year to year, until complete aud continued success has beon achioved in roveral prisons of tho United States, aud It cau bo proudly said that no afforts in this diroction Lave producod more am- le results than those made by tue oflicers of the tHinois Stato Penitentiary at Joliet, Under tho excellent management of tho present enterpris- ing Wardon, Maj.

Why the Baltimore & Ohio Will Not Make a Further Reduction. Condition of the Peoria & Rock Isl- and Road, Proposed Tunnel Under the Hudson. Senator Bueller's Bill. THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD'S REDUCTION, Tho reduction of passonger-rates to €8 from this city to Baltimore and Washington by the Pennsylvania Itailroad haa not been followed by @ similar roduction by the altimore & Uhio Rail- road, as was generally oxpected. The agout of the latter Company in this eclty received a dine patch from Ar. King, tuo Vice-I'reaident of the road, yesterday, instructing him to adhere totho old rate, which sre $10 to Baltimore and Wash- ington, $12 to Philadelphia, and €15.25 to New York. {t isthe intention of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to mako these rates permancnt, even if the presont war whould Le settled, It Is claimed by tho managers that tho former rates, #19 to Daltimoro aud Washington, were unreason- ably high, aud thoy can afford w carry pagsen- gere at $10, thong the other compavica may ose money at that amount, Tho main reason why tha Raltimore & Onto hos not followed the Peonsylvama Nailroad iu making an additional reduction is the fact that tho reduced ticketa cold by the Penney! vauia Company aro limited, while tho tickets over the Baltimore & Ohio can bo used at say future tims. ‘Lo office of the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne Railroad Company, at the corner of Clark aud Randolph atrecta, was crowded with people all day yeuterday nuxious to buy tickety nt tho reduced rates, but, when they were informed of jo soveral conditions and rostrictioua under which such ticketa are sold, most of them feft disguated and weut over to tho Baltimore & Obto Railroad ofice and purchased their tickets there. Partica purchasing tickets to Baltimore of tho Pitteburg & Fort Wayue Railroad Com- pany are required to pay tho full price, $19, for the ticket, but will receive 811 back when they arrive at Baltimora, provided the tickets are used within forty-eight hours. Besides, thepartics buy- jog tickets ore required to sizn a contract to the effect that thoy arowatislied mith ther conditions. ‘Theso precautions aro taken by tho Penteyl- yania Railroad Company to provent the tickota from ig bought up by scaipery aud speculst- ors, With theso reatrictious none but actual travelers can mako uso uf thom, forif they are kept Jonpen than forty-eight-houra tho é11 twill be forfeited. As long asthe Penneylvanis Rail- road Company odhorea to theso couditions the Lake Shore & Michigsn Southern and Michigan Central Ratlroada will make no reductions; bus in tho event ofa reduction to Philadelphia by tho Penusslvanis Conspany the above roads will roduce the rates to New York also, in which caso ihe fava to Now York will probably como down to giz.
