This old couplet and truism may be aptly applied to the case in point of which this column treats. Complaint having been recently made in writing, purporting to emanate from a “Reformed Convict,” against the treatment of the inmates of the Kings County Penitentiary, a special investigation of the matter was advised by the Chief of the City Staff, and yesterday & visi: to the prison in queation and an inspection of 1t was made by one of the HrnaLD Corps to investigate the truth or faisity of the con- tents of the followimg communication:~ 90 Tan Borvoe oF eau Bay tone, Oct. 6, 1871. we et torte a ne’ would 5 mysetf, but those Who Were ney biveker convicts, uy Couvicws serving thels Hmert break serving time only half fed; and In winter, while being in 1d wall? ah almost. to death on account of the scanty supplies of inveform in tho ‘managerent of ine clothing. an ent of the clo T provision departments. —_ It is noc be cr & prisoner that he must be ill-treated in the above Prroid ankof” you to Lavert ine Tansgaleg, sats: ment and oblige, yours trul se radon 4 REFORMED CONVICT. ‘Thirty minutes’ ride over the Fulton avenue and Nostrand avenue line of horse cars brings the visitor to the massive blue stone walls of the Kings County Penitentiary, which enclose an area of about ten acres, bounded by Nostrand and Rogers avenues ana Crown and President strects. The ap- Proach to the main eatrance, which is bordered by gravel walks and garden patches, are neat and handsome, and the building proper stands upon igh ground, commanding a fine view of the sur- rounding country and receiving a good share at all seasons of whatever atmosphere is stirring, Ascend- ing tne broad steps leading to the gloomy portals of the Penitentiary the summons at the door 1s an- swerea by the doorman, Tommy, as he appears to be familiarly cailed, and the writer was shown into the presence of the Deputy Keeper, KE. B. Crummie, That gentleman courteously received the repre- sentative of the HERALD, and upon learning the object of his mission at once declared his readiness to escort him through tne prison. The first visit was, however, patd to the keeper, Mr. John Cunningham, who is at present confined to his bed by sickness, The keeper desired his deputy to afford every facility in promoting a thorough inspection of the institution, and regret ted bis physical inability to accompany and explain the management in detail, A close examination us to the sanitary condition, food, raiment, quarters, work and discipline was then instituted, the result or which, as will be observed from what follows, was such as to most favorably impress the visitor with the icernal arrangements of the place, cleanliness and thorough discipline being apparent upon every side im each department visited, The first point made for was the male department of the prison, which is under the supervision of ©. Casiin, Here the ab- sence of any unpleasant odor, usually met with in Public institutions of the kind, was noticeable upon crossing the threshold into the long corridors from which the celisopen. Three large stoves, well filled with red, cheeriully burning coal, even though the frost has not yet set in, appeared to give the le to the accusation that the inmates were allowed to almost freeze to death in winter. Certainly the atmosphere was rather warm than otherwise, and the celis,-which are paragons of neatness, could not fail to receive their share of the warmeh generated by these fires. The ceils, which are eight feet in Jength and five feet in width, are ventilated by ventilators in the wall, leading to the roof, and are amply equipped for comfort at night. The cots, which are of canvas, stretched upon an iron frame- Work, close up against the wall, and each convict ts provided with three pair of brown woollen blankets, weighing eigbt pounds each, or twenty-four rounds in the aggregate. ‘Theas were strap- pea =a near the door, and any ordinary haman being would certainly suppose that sneh coverings would be ample to keep warmth in the bouy In the coldest of seasons, The cells are three inches wider than those of Sing Sing. Several of these apartments were ornamented by their in- mates With pictures from pictortal papers, ana even books of poetry, &c., Were noticeable in some of the cells, Leaving the male wing avd crossing through the assi: keeper's ward—the «assistania are tweive in namber—the female division of the Peni- tentlary was visited. Here, 100, was noticeable ex- cellent order and remarkabie cleanliness, coupied with divers humble devices indicative of feminine tase and adornment. ‘The kitchen was the next objective point of observation, and here six stal- wart, ruddy-looking men were found in convict garb, preparing the noonday Meal, which on the day we Visited the prison consisted Of corlttish, potatves and fresh bread. ‘ THE DIET DISCIPLINE 4s 48 follows:—For dinner Sunday, three-qaarters of & pound of iresh beef, bean soup and one-third of a pound of fresn bread; Monday, half a pound of cod- lish, potatoes and one-third of a pound of bread; Tuesday, warepanarces of &@ ponnd of salt bees, bean soup and one-third of a pound of bread; Wednesday, fresh beef, wate with rice and potatoes and haifa pound of bread; Thursday, same as Sunday; Fri- day, same as Monday; Saturday, same as Wednes- day, Fifty pounds of beans are uned to every 100 rations of bean soup; twelve pounds of rice and one- half bushel of potatoes to every 100 rations of fresh beel, with Tice soup; three bushels of potatoes with every 100 rations on iish days. For supper there 1s allowed two-thirds of a pound of cornmeal, made into mush, with one-half gailon of molasses, four days in each week. ‘t'wo-thirds of a pound of boiled rice, Wit# one-nalf gill of moiasses 1s allowed thiee days in each week, For breakfast two-thirds of a pound of bread and one quatt of coffee ts surnished To each man, HOURS OF LABOR, The hours of Jabor are ten each day, The prison- ers’ bell rings at @ quarter past five o'clock in tne morning, and at half-past five they are marched out of the cells to perform thelr ablutions and prepare for breakfast, There js then a brief time afforded for reaaimg or smoking until seven o'clock, When work commences, The chief business consists tn making shoes, an Lie Fp old at which the con- vicis exhibit « remarkable degree of proficiency and an aptitude at learnmg which cannot fal to prove inost remunerative to the Bay State Shoe and Leather Company, who have had the contract for their labor since the introduction of this branch of ecouomy iu the Penitentiary two years ago, ‘There are 500 convicts in the prison, of which 360 or thereabouts ate occupied in the shoeshop, in- cluding females, ‘The contractors are makiog & great fortune of the work of these unfortunates, for Whose services they pay ouly about ten cents per day, while many of them ate very clever workiaen, ‘There can be nia more interesting than a visit to the shoemaking depariment of the Kings County Penitenuary, where the twenty-five horse power en- gines are daily working innumerable patent shoe- turning machines, which are attended by silent tranagressors of the law, who turn out as many ag ‘860 pars of shoes tn a single day. Frank Keupey, the Assistant Keeper, in charge of this deparsment, and js aid, the stalwart and genial ike Henry, of the Atlantic Base Ball Club, and Mz. Newsain and others, never take their eyes off tee prisoners whilo at work, but strictly enforce the most rigid atten- tion to labor and sil ‘on the part of the laborers mg day, At twelve, noon, the men take up the “lockstep” and move olf, guarded by their Keepers, who carry loadea muskets, to the kitchen, where they receive their rations, and re- pair to their cells to eat them.

Now, my fellow ‘cilizens, to my view the future a not took gloomy, even under the 1 we have suffered this summer and autumn. I hay no a feeling of despondency. It is well unders stood that te republican party contains in iwel seeds of discontent, of bitlerness, of rivalry an disaffection; and {t ia natural in these prelimi elections tha: those who are against the nomination’ of General Grant should attempt to hold their p Hon within tieir party in order that their Influen may be ased to defeat his nomination. I know ver: well that nis nomination wili not be defeated—; least, that ismy solemn conviction—that he is no dictator in the republican party. that he aspires be In the country atlarge. 1 belteve that be wil dictate is own nomination. But then, my fello' eluzens, I Know that some of she m conscientious, able and courageous me! who stand highest tn the radical party will leave the republican party when Grant 1s nominated and burg} their ships when they fati to defeut him for the, nomination.
