The fol- lowing statements are gleaned from the report:— The committee have devoted nearly five months tothe examination of the institutions of the S.atc, and those sup- ported or assisted by it. POORHOUNES, ALMEHOUSES AND KINDRED CHARITING. There are fifty five aimshouses and poorhouses im this State, exclusive of those in New York and Kings Average number of inmates for the year, according to the testimony taken by the committe, 6 420. Aciual number of inmates at the time when the committee was epgaged in i's examinetioa, 4,066, of which 2,672 were foreign born, and 1,307 were children Numober of deaths in fifty-five poorhouses during the year was 770. So great a mortality as this, the commit ‘we remark, should arrest the public attention. Number of juratics confined in the poorhouses, ox- — those in New York and King’s counties, was 887 —29 males and 508 females, Of this number, 301 were received during the past year, and 180 are reported as being in celis and chains. During the your 50 improved and 46 recovered. All were paupers except 27. The committec remark:— “Why those twenty-seven should be confined in a poor- bovse, can only be accounted for by the inedequate pro- vision now made by the State for accommodating the in- The committee state that at least* two lunatic asytu similar to the Utica asylum, are required for yy recom tho passage of the bill ‘the last Logisiatare, having that end in view, Poorhouses the committee also found 273 idiots, 26 deaf mutes and 71 blind persons.

Boe Onsos as mony coat ve inmates occupy a single dormitory, with low and siceping Doses arrenged in three tiers, above another. Good health is incompatible ‘arrargements. The want of suitable hospital accommodations is se- ve felt im most of the poorhouses. Tne physician is poorly paid. In some cases the inmates sicken and die without any medical attendance whatever, ty almsbouse averaging 137 inmates, there were thirty-six deaths during the year. In regard to the co mingling of sexes, the committee classification of the inmates is almost wholly neglected. It is either impossible, or when possible, it is disregarded. Many of the births occurring during the pad ‘are doubtless the offspring of illicit connections, the last year the whole number of births was 292. iminate association of the sexes gene- an rally allowed strongly favors this assumption. By day their intercourse is common and unrestricted, and there is often no sufficient safeguard agaipet a promiscuous in- tercourse by night. In one case, the vg (ea consist In two counties the committee found that tho . houses were supplied by contract, the contractor beiug allowed to profit by all the labor which he could extort from the paupers. In both cases the contractor was supertatend- ent of the poor, and in one case he was also keoper of the poerhouse Ip one, the keeper received his compen- tation from the contractor; and in this case the food sup- plied wes not only insufficient in quantity, but cons\sted Partly of tainted mrat and fish Lhe inmates were con- sequently almost starved.

Iu 1848 the State established second House of Refuge in , under similiar reguiations—the one in New York reoetving boys and girls from all parts of the State— the one in Roohestor recetving boys only.

Pern insolvency of the bank can be readily traced to a combination of causes, each contributing to waste its resources and encroach upon lis assets. Insiead of ac- commodating the business community in tho locality of the bank, where the direciors bad moans of know- ‘og the responsibility of the drawers aad endorsers of the paper offered tor discount, it loaned an amount ex ceeaing three-fourths of ite capital to a few individuals (its President and Cashier among the pumber,) for the perpore of building the Sunbury and Phitadelphia Ratl- Toad—erecting extenrive tron catablishments, and de- veloping the Shamokin coa! foiis—projects which every man of even ordinary dircroden mast have {orescea would lock up the funds of the bank, thus loaned to these parties, tor long space of time; and if those spocaia hope should prove disaatrous, must inevitably loso to the bank the money loaned for euch purposer. In consequence of tho entire capital of the bank bo- ing looked up, either by being on tho protest list, in- vented in factory etock, and in loans to tts President, David Longenecker, and his co operators in the Shamo’ kin coal specelations, resort was had to various tilogt- tumate methods of banking. in order to carry ite circa- lation, but which in rapid succession only teaded stil to wild cat savings institutions, private tablishments, aud even private tudividuale, in large ng interest at the rate of three per with the understanding om the part of borrowers that they should keop those of Dills sfoat, 80 as DOL to imcommode the bank. By this means ove tingle imdividual bas become indebted w the bank to a very large amount, which indebtednoss is put down the doubtful and bad assets. But indepen. dent of the venay of the rites 10 whom the bills of tho bank were thus iabod ia large amounts for olroa- lation, thie method of keeping uj realation was the cause of additonal loaces. These bills of the bank found (weir way to Philadelphia, the com of Pona- vania, where it was required shoald be reseom gold or silver; and im order to do this the notes aud hills of excbange which bad beon discounted at the cous- 4 ra of the bank, at icgal ratos, were sent to Philadelpnia, and there sold at discount, rating irom 1}¢ to & per cont a. More than $00,000 of the insolvency of the ‘K Gan be traced to the payment of extra interest to meet the demande oi Ite circulation. Among other causes of insvivency may bo mentionod the transfer to the bank of $20,000 worth of Factory stock at par by Iavid Longenecker, the President, on the 28th of January, 1862, when in fact the stock was net selling at more'than from $14 to $16 por ah par velne being $60 per share; also, in the exchan the bank of $14,500, Jame’ |oan, at par, being « loan secured by ‘rat mortgage on Conestoga Seam Mili No. 3, fore the lst of November, 1855. but the stock was not eferred until Y dividend in 1966.
