OUR CRIMINAL GLASSES ‘The National Congress on Penitentiary and Reformatory Discipline—Re- view of Its Proceedings—Effect ef Moral Influences on Reforming Criminals. CINCINNATI, Oct. 17, 1870, ‘The sittings of the Congress, which commenced in ‘she “Queen City” on the 12th inst., being now nearly over, and their scope and spirit well understood, the readers of @ journal which treats the news so ex- haustively as the New York Heratp will nata- rally look for sone more compreliensive account of the Congress than could be given in the brief sum- mary of its proccedings transmitted from day to- ay over the Wires, and that account 1 now proceed to supply, {t ts known to those who take an interest in mat- ters relating to reformatory prison discipline in ‘Unis country, and should, perhaps, be mentioned for the information of those who ao not, that it was originally proposed hy Dr. Wines ana other members of the New York Prison Association, and also by members of the Philadclpnia Prison Assoctation, that the Congress which it Was proposed to suminon should he international and should embrace the subject of “eriminal law reform” as well as “reformatory prison discipiine.” Of the European reformers and experts, however, who favored the holding of the Congress—and these incinged such names as Sir Walter Crofton, Mary Carpenter, Florence Nightin- gale, Sir John Bowring, Count Sollohub, of Moscow; Signor M. Bethani Scalie, Inspector General of Prisons in Italy; Fr. Briin, of Dentnark, &¢.—several suggested that it might be preferable to pre- pare the way for an international con- gress by first holding a national one on Americar "Mi, ‘Tatleck, Secretary of tne Howard « “ation of London, m writing to Dr. Wines, saii.--"L uutte with Mr. Brockway’s opinion (contained in your paper), that ‘an American con- gress, say in 1570, woul! be a valuable means of Preparation fur an international congress,’ The Untted States have gone ahead of most, if not of all, nauons in their prison diseipline—save ana except regerds somy of their county jalis and a few others, A series of recommendations agreed to by an American Congress would carry great weight in Europe and prepare for a more useial international congress than one oF the latter desertption net. pre- ceded by a genera: Uuited States congress, Fur- ther, many who might attend the one in America could not spare the time to cross the Atlantic. ‘This view of the subject was finally embraced by the promoters of the Congress, who were mainly members of tie New York Prison Association, and the subject of criminal jaw reform was dropped. Such is the Congress whose labors here are now drawing to a close, aud which is attended by two governors— one of whoi, Governor Hayes, of Ohto, is President—an ex-zoyernor, deputies of governors, members of State and Prison boards of charities, members of reforimatory buards, wardens of State prisons, superintendents of juvenile reformatories, chaplains, physicians and otners Interested fn prison. disciphne, Inciuding some representatives of foreign countries, namberiug in all over two uandred per- fons, and representing between twenty and thirty Slates of the Unioa, from Malue to Calvornia and from the Northwest to the South.

The eppeacance of the Congress is striking and has been the subject of favorabie comment by the pee, oi thischy. Many of the members are men of rge heads aniof uighly intelectual and beneve- Jeb countenauces cir refluement and culture Raye been obiwloed Her the schools of expe- lence, than jn tie learned universities, Yet iney are bot Mere pailautiropic, much jess mawkish en- thusiasts, ‘They areabie, | mightsay sharp inen of business, beilevers in facts rather than theories, aware of the nexuitnde of the eviis with which they | have to deal, aud desiivus, as well for the sake oi 80- ciély a8 from .ove tu the inmates of our adult prisons and our juveniie refuces, lo bring about the MWorough reiormation of tuese unfortunate chisses, ant, i possible, to bridge over the great gulf which sepurales Lucu trom suciely; to do so with mutual advaniage to them and to socieiy. To promote these ends they have, in some justances, travelled thousands of miles their own expense, uader- taken the pecutlary responsivilities of the ‘present ‘athering, prepared elaborate papers on the sav- Pas of prison reform and mauagement in its dif ferent brancues, and given up much valuable time to these discursions. Whatever auy one may think of the result of their labors, atl must admit that, the ovject cuntemplitted is as uoble as itis impor: tant, Tam couvinced, liowever, that the results wiit prove to be very vaiuable. Lam contlient that the opportunity of “comparing notes,” of asking id answering questious, aud of engaging in vicw roce siva, Which the Congress has atforded, has Olready givea a valuavle supetus Lo the cause of re.orm prison discipline and management. It is to be borne in inind 1a this connection, that whie the Congress mi ludes among its meuibers such well known prison relorwers as Dr. Wines.

In the conise of Sir John Bowring’s paper it was stated that he was of Spialon, that tu ine United States tere was a tendency to look to financial rather than 10 Moral teswits in prison diseiphue, Whereupoa a member somewhat mdignantly quired if such Was the case, while a furiuer question Was put—"Are the Nigiest financial meompativle With tie highest moral results of prison discipline /?

They held that wt was itself a re{urmatory idea to adhere to the measures “Pay as you go;”? pay your own way, and do not bea burden to any one. ‘The ule took advantage of the Words ‘ highest esulta.’ They asked if prisoners were to be given some interest tn thelr earnings—a powerful moltve to weil-doing—or allowed Co lessen heir time sentences by good conduet, or taught as fuily as pos #ivle in the sciooiroom, or supped freely wi light by which to read, to a revsouable ext done in several State prisons—now we hi financial results were to be opened? If to take the Jast dollar ous of the prisoner Was the perfection of prison management, they argued that this could only be dove at the cost of moral results. On ths subject Congress adopted the (ollowing just and pro- Ife resolution;— Resoived. That the patiole wih pec ‘only partially att tons.

Thexe aniagonisins were developed in the discus- sion of the best mode of managing Juvent orm. atories or reluges, ‘The high wats, tie “bars and bolts” of the “congregate” system, showed es lent results in goud hands, Many of the juvenile ine stituitons of New York, city and state, fuily attest, thai fact. The “family system,” in which smiling fieids and parks aud gardens and neat and comfortavle residences, and & large, if not jute measure of freelom are ably ered, produced — asioniuting results, and elicited enthustastic applause as they were wade kKuown, What could be more surprising than to find city “roughs’? and Arals transiormed into boys, Whose attempts to escape, With endless opportani- tes of doling so, cid Hob Average tour per cent per year, who with constant acce-s to matches never set fre W anyting, who possessed of knives never cut up desks or other furniture? Most students that ' have known were desirous of carving out for themselves a wooden immortality at least, to whom physteal punishment or confluement ot ¢ny kind was paratively, in some cases, absolutely unknown, Many such facts, well certified, were adduced, and they were received with 80 many manifestations of xratificauon that te representatives of the congre- gate and “bar and bolt” system, us it was invidiousiy termed—its ends, however, dwelling most on tie phrase deprecatingly—seemed disposed to think that their system Was not in favor, and they asked the Congress to say so. The Hon. Mr. Remelin, of Chicago, rem.nded the mempers of @ piece of advice Mr, Gladstone had given him, and (hat Was never to sci up one system In antagonism to another, never to raise that issue; bao leteach one Jo his best for the system he preterred and leave the influences produced to be their own heralds and trumpeters, ir, Gladstone sala he had been able— and it Was about all the merit he claiined—to persuade the English educational and prison re ormers to act on this principle, and he believed if they had not done so the result would have been fatal, Mr. keme- lin suggested a similar course. It was at once wise and politic.
