Cries from Sing Sing for Amelioration. FAIR PLAY FOR MONEYLESS CONVICTS. The Year's Statistics of Our State Prisons and Fenitentiaries. To every reputable citizen the crime of the city | must become a subject of thought, and, at times, | of the most serious apprehension. Upon the | morality of a city depends the peace and safety of its citizens, The prevention of crime, therefore, belongs to the order of the highest duties, and de- mands from munictpal and State authorities uD- | selfish energy and the strictest justice. | There are excellent laws for the punishment of | crime, and rarely now in our criminal courts is the | Offender allowed to escape the formula of the | sentence the law imposes. But while these two | excellent things are not to be complained of, there | is another part, the real issue o: the crime, which possesses 8 sort of ad Wditum execution, which @ombines justice to some and injustice to others, ‘and, so far from aiding in the suppression of crime, Offers an inducement for its committal to a class favored with wealth or influence. It is not neces- wary to go back to a score of years ago to discover cases in which sentences of the courts were unful- Ailled ; in which, even while the culprit wes in pri- son, not @ tenth of the punishment intended by the | law under which he was condemnea was meted | out to him.

To rd against pes of this kind, however, the Penitentiary is farnishea with two small guard boats, one of which does daty on the river between Blackwell’s Isiand and New York, the other doing duty between the island and Ravenswood, opposite the stone quarry. At times one of these boats ts called away to number of convicts who go to work around other of the island institutions, At such times the escapes usually take place, and the keepers on land are rendered utterly heipless to prevent escape if the convicts once succeed in reaching tne water. Avery simple way to obviate this would be to have another boat, which would involve the payment of two more keepers to man it. But this seems not to have been considered, Another mode of escape is when the guard boat is away for @ strange boat containing iriends of some pris- oner tO approach the place where the convicts may be working.

REFORMED EX-CONVICiS. INTERESTING STATISTICS. At the beginning of the present year there were in ali 101 persons sentenced for life in one or other of our State prisons, this being 323 per cent of all the prisoners in the State prisons, inciuding the Asylum for Criminal Insane at Auburn. The Bumber of commuted death senteuces added | largely to the number of prisoners for life, there | being 23.14 per cent of this class, It is said tnat the prisoners sentenced for iife soon become | gioomy and despondent, needing for this reason cial treatment, though the average probability of their punisoment is oniy about seven and a half | years, @ fact weli known to them, but which, | nevertheless, is imsuiticient to inspire them with | courage to bear the ordeal of punishment. To those interested in prison discipiine the question how to deal with life prisoners is considered one of the most serious moment. The number under | Auburn Prison is 32; at Clinton Prison, 28; at Sing Sing, 31, seven of whom are females; at the Asylum for Criminal Insane, 10. At the beginning of the year there were at Auburn 1,200 males; at Ciin- | Son, 564 males; at Sing Sing, 1,237 males and 117 | females; at Albany Penitentiary, 619 maies; at Blackwell's Island Penitentiary, 3,340 mates; at@ Erie County Penitentiary, 238 males and 102 je- males: at Kings County Penitentiary, 487 mai and 79 females; at Monroe County Penitentiary, 1,048; at Onoudaga County Penitentiary, 206 Males and 28 temaies. Of these totals 184 of the males and 21 of the females were under sev- enteen years of age. The total admissions for the year were :—Auburn, 397 males ; Clinton, 188 males; Sing Sing, 750 males and 54 iemales; Blackwell's Island Penitentiary, 2,137 males and 357 iemaies; Albany Penitentiary, 1,277 males and 337 females; Erie County Penitentiary, 3,045 males and 1,216 females ; zs County Penitentiary, 1,257 maies; Monroe County Penitentiary, 646 males and 172 females; Onondi Penitentiary, 624 males and | 140 females. Of these 2,883 males, but only 12 1e- Males, had been previously in prison. THE PRISON ASSOCIATION. | The above interesting figures give a pretty fall exhibit of the prisons of this State at the present time, for though the figures were collated oaly uv, to the beginning of this year the changes whic! have since taken piace cannot have made any Material difference, The only institution in this city which devotes any care or attention to the criminals of the city and State is that known a8 “Prison Association of New York.” These itlemen report that daring the year they had ited and advised 4,011 prisoners, had complaints examined in 503 cases, had compiaints withdrawn im 131 cases and procured tue di of 108 prisoners on their advice to the cou hey also advice and defence tor 204 prisoners. association alms to ameliorate the condition ae Of all classes, but their chief aim is to relief to the youthful erring ones who may have lapsed into evil aoing at the hands o1 o1 gad to give temporary assistance to the unior- convict who may have just concluded his of imprisonment and be now thrown upon She world without money or a friend. ‘The agents association also procure work for those who, Sher isaving desire to mend their 3 r And take a ines start in ile: Mod ESCAPES FROM THE ISLAND. ae Onmusual Success of Late—How the Thing Is Donce—Insufficiency of the Guard Boate—The Various Plans Adopted.

Dr. Elisha Harris, im Ccouversa- ion with a HERALD reporter yesterday, thug re- expressed bimseif upon the existence of water cure establishments—‘These establishments, like Medicines with mysterious names. draw a certain class of customers trom all grades o1 people, from born idiots to doctors in divinity.

THE OASE OF OPFICER LEDDY. The examination in the case of OMcer Leday, of the Twentieth precinct, charged with felonious assault on ex-Ufficer Edward Daly, was concluded yesterday before Justice Morgan, at Jefferson Mar- ket, Both parties were represented by counsel. It was proven that Oicer Leddy nad used his club on the head of Daly, but the witnesses to the affair were very reticent as to the provocation offered. Judge Morgan, after listening to the ar- gument of counsel, said:—“As long as 1 continue to Sit as @ Magistrate oa this bench I shall protect the citizen against every unwarrantable assault on the part of a police officer, At the same time 1 shall sustain every officer in the discharge of his duty, and especially in | a turbulent neighborhood, as tms appears {rom the evidence to be, The learned counsel Jor the Prosecution has expatiated eloquently on the Tights secured to ns by the Magna Charta and our own constitution, but the evidence before me fails essentially in not showing the officer to have been unjustifiably provoked in the action he took. shall, therefore, dismiss the cage. The Judge thereupon called up both parties, and admonished the officer that any attempt on his part hereafter, under the guise of authority, to annov or harass the complainant would, on proper representa- tions, be met with prompt and stern retribution, EBAPPEABANCE OF PAUL PALK, The smiling countenance and burty form of Paul | Palk, proprietor and mamager of the Tivoli Gar- dens, were again in line belore Police Court Clerk Heiley, at Essex Market Court, yesterday aiter- noon, accompanied by his bondsman, and gave ball for still another violation of the Sunday taws, Detective Shaivey, of the Seventeenth precinct, Was again the complainant.

Geed Work in Wall Street—Attempted Sale of Stolen Bonds, and Arrest of the Parties Concerned. It was not inopportanely that the HERALD yes- terday drew attention to a certain G. R. Watson, whose real name i# Cassidy, and expressed the hope that this notorious criminal would soon be laced beyond the possibility of preying on society. ‘The probabilities are large thas this consummation is about to be reached. The ways of the thief are devious and tortuons, and he is not unlikely to get into a labyrinth from whieh, unlike Dedaius, be cannot extricate himself by making wings and fy- ing. The effects of the acts of Van Eeten, who re- cently poisoned bimselt in jail, where he was being held previous to being taken to California, are now beginning to fall upon bis confederates, or those who in any way were connected with him in crime. On Monday afternoon, about two o’clcck, Detestives Sampson and Farley arrested three persons for either having in their possession or having negotiated the sale of stolen bonds. These bondg, were twenty-five bonds of the Bank of Hark and the manner in which they came into the possession of the officers has a strange tinge of romance about it, and shows how singularly Peruous is the position of the man who holds prop- erty not his own, especially when that property is paper duly signed. This IMPORTANT ARREST Was brought about through the instrumentality of Captain J. W. Lees, of the detective force of San Francisco, who was in New York for the pur- pose of taking Van Eeten to San Francisco to answer for forged indorsements to a $10,000 United States bond. In order now not to anticl- pate the order of events we must go a little back. Toward the end of June last Mr. Q. A. Burton, of Burlington, Vt., was Tobbed of a $1,000 bond of the city of Fond du Lac, Mich.; twenty-five shares of Harlem Bank | stock, ten shares of Northern Transportation line stock, value $1,000; one bond of $500 of the Cum- berland Coal and Iron Company, Pennsylvania; one $100 share of the Consolidated Gregory Mining Company, Colorado Territory, signed H. 8 | Loomis, President; four overcoats, one umbrella, @ set of cameo sieeve buttons, with the mono- gram “D. M. B.” About the same time Judge Bar- ber’s house, at St. Albans, Vt., was robbed of $1,000 worth of silverware. Judge Reed’s bonse, at Montpelier, Vt., was also robbed of $1,000 worth | of silverware, A gentleman by the name o! Soule, | of coupon bonds, the precise character of which the HERALD representative was unable to ascer- tain from the detective officers,’ All these rob- beries vook place in the latter pars of June, within @ short space of time, and within limits which showed that they must have been an organized series, The twenty-five bonds of the Bank of Har- Jem, for the possession and attempted sale of which the three men were yesterday arrested on | the street, form part of the first of these robberies, It would appear that Mr. 0. A. Burton, THE VICTIM OF THIS ROBBERY, was foilowed from the Bank oi St. Albans, Vt. The box ix which he carried bis securities was a | very heavy one, and not wishing to carry it up | stairs he left 1tin his library. In the morning he | found that the box nad en broken open and | the contents abstracted. About a week ago Captain J. W. Lees, of the San Francisco detective iorce, m working up Van Eeten’s case traced a $1,000 bond from Van Beten to parties bere in New York. This bond he claimed and recovered. Knowing that itcould not have rightly belonged to Van Keien, and thinking | that possibly tt might be forged, he went to the | Darties who bad collected interest upon tt, and | finally got to the banking house occupying No, 19 | New sireet, At first the Captain could get little | information; but, disclosing bis busiuess, he was | imiormed that tue bond in question was | in the vanits of the bank. It did not | take him long to undeceive the cashier ; and principals of the firm that the | aforesaid bond was not there, as he produced it. | He then found that there were three similar bonds in the banking house belonging to the same gen- tieman, Mr. 0. A. Burton. This gentleman was sum- moned by telegraph to New York, and here learned | for the first time that the bond of which he had | | lost sight was not at his banker’s, The manner in | which this same gentieman recovered his twenty- | five shares of Harlem stock is quite interesting. ‘A ROMANCE. Abont a fortnight ago, Cassidy, atias R. G. Wat- son, came to the oifice of Marcus D. Sacta, who | to raise a loan of $2,000 upon the identical twenty- | five shares of Harlem Bank stock, which yeaterda| caused the arrest of the three menin the street, The friend whom Sacia thought would advance the money being out, Sacia took him to a Mr. Chew, who failed to procure the loan on a first applica- tion. Mr. Chew then applied to Mr. J. V. Dever to act in the matter as broker for Cassidy. Mr. Dever says that he consented to do this on last Saturday and that Cassidy promised to be on the street on | Monday in order wo transfer the stock. Instead of | this Cassidy wrote to Dever irom Flemington, | N. J., stating that bis child was very ill and that | he could not come, at the same time requesting Dever to send him $800 or $1,000; but Dever only advanced to Sacia, who was acting in the matter the bonds reached the respectapie total of $1,050. By @ process which we need not describe too mi- nutely Captain Lees got information that a Mr. | Whipple, purporting to be a broker of Pine street, was offering these twenty-five shares of Harlem Bank stock for sale. He therefore laid himself out to catch bis man. to Whipple, and alter passing the ordinary meteor- ological civilities, proposed lunch to him. Mean- while he introduced Mr. 0. A. Burton as Mr. Barnard. During the repast investments of various kinds naturally became the subject of conversation, and here element. He proposed stocks of various kinds as eligible investments, but the pseudo Mr. Barnard, who was the supposed intenaing investor, succes- sively decliued them, preterring, as he alleged, bank stuck. Mr. Whipple informed him that eas Was just the thing ip which he could accOmmo- , date him. He propoged the Harlem Bank stock, twenty-five shares, . Barnard read{ly assented to bis proposals, and finally the stock was pro- duced and the transfer about to be made, when Captain Lees intormed Mr. Whipple that there | were certain delicate little questions which he should like to put in relerence to the bonds, and tuat, if convenient, he snouid like to have the leasure of Mr. Whippie’s company. Messrs. ever and Sacia were likewise informed of the de- sirapility ot their presence, aud at a given rendez- vous were conirunted with the owner of the bonds. Ap oMcer oi the Harlem Bank was also in attendance for the purpose o! certain formalities. | Previously, however, this gentleman had been taken to | THE LUDLOW STREET JAIL, im order to see if he could succeed in identifying Cassidy Jrom among @ number of other prisoners asthe man who a fortnight ago had procured | trom him tne eer of attorney in order to place these bonds, hen Cassidy saw the officer of the bank he dropped his head ana tried in every way to conceal his face, but the HeRaLp representative Was informed by the bunk officer that he had no | doubt whatever as to his identity. During the ex- amination Mr. Sacia was asked Several questions as te whether he hadever seen various bonds, 4&c., in the possession of Cassidy, but sacia was firm in his denial that he lad, at any time, seen more than the twenty-tve bonds of the Hariem ank. |, One bond produced had hole burned in it. Upon being questioned as to whether he knew how the hole had been made Sacia said that he saw Cassidy burn a hole in it with the end of bis cigar, and upon asking Cassidy why he did it the latter replied that he dia it to remove the §. from his initials as it was de trop. Sacia turther stated that since Cassidy's arrest he had supplied him with $250, @ portion of the $1,060 advanced by Dever gn the bonds.

Bailey, sec- ond pilot of the City of Boston, the boat was going along at a fair rate of speed; the night was dark, though the stars shone, Captain Ward had just come up to the pilot house and was lying down. He himself was in the wheelhouse, keeping a sharp lookout ahead. It was shortly after twelve, and the most difficult portion of the night was over. Suddenly he sighted a schooner ahead, proceeding in a northerly directton, whereas the Boston was going west by south quarter south, so that the schooner was directly crossing the bows of the steamer. It was dimcult to judge the distance that lay between. The schooner had no lights set, and all on board that approached anything like a light was a glimmer which proceeded from the companion way. The only manner tn which the course of the schooner could be told was by the set of her sails. Immediately on sighting the schooner the City of Boston was sheered off in an attempt to run off behind the stern of the schooner. This was considered as the best course, as the wind was blowing heavily and it was thought the schooner would pass before the teamer could join her, and all the more so that nother vessel with a green light on her bow was coming up behind, and it was, therefore, impossi- bie to go in that direction by crossing diagonally. | When, however, the steamer was nearer, and she seemed to have moved but slightly, the engines were reversed and the wheelman, the second pilot | and the Captain (who had been awakened) united to veer the steamer round, To no pur; » how: ever, for she ran into and struck the starboard side of the schooner about six feet from the stern. She sank immediately. In the meantime the engines of the City of Boston had been stopped, and a boat was lowered. in afew moments two men were picked up who | proved to be the mate and the steward of the lost vessel, They stated that the Captain, Silas Kobin- son, was below asleep at the time of the accident, | Diligent search was made for him, but to no purpose, and after forty minutes’ stoppage the City of Bosten proceeded on her way. There had been no scare on board and some of the pas sengers were not aware of the collision. Tue Daniel Fretl was an old canal boat turned into @ schooner of 120 tons buraen, She had tuat | amount of scrap stone for butlaing purposes on | board. She was owned in Camden. 1¢ is not Known what course the owner will take, The Mate stated, according to the og 4 ot the Boston’s Otticers, that he had no torches aboard the Freil, though he insisted the lights were set. He lost hia | clothes. The City of Boston received no da: whatever and leit on her usual trip back to New London 1ast evening.

STEAMSHIP CITY OF PANAMA, Ory THE BAHAMAS, July 30, tata. Your correspondent leit pier 42 North River, New York, at one o’clock P.

The purser, 0. H. Dan- els, has done all be couid to make our stay on this ship as pleasant and agreeable as possible. We were well aware upon leaving New York that the captain of the City of Panama (Captain C. 0. Lima) bad instructions to go to the relief of the steamship City of Guatemala and endeavor to tow her from her uniortunate position Into some port, and our ship came prepared to carry out those in- structions were such a thing possible, baving cranes, rope and everything necessary to accom- plish that opject. We sighted the City of Guatemala at six o'clock A. M. to-day, and got abreast of her at eight o’clock, about two miles off, when we stopped en- gines and awaited the arrival of a boat from the wreck. It soon reached us, manned by the able tars of the Guatemala, and containing their frst | Officer, Mr. Lynch, accompanied by a coast pilot. A consultation was held on board this ship, and ; it was determined to send Mr. Fowler to make an examination of the Guatemala, He retarned with Mr. Lynch, leaving the pilot with ug, under whose guidance We coasced around until Mr. Fowler’s re- | tarn, During the absence of Mr. Fowler two boats | from the wreck visited us, one containing the purser and freight clerk, bringing tbeir iron saie ud other of the ship’s stores; the other con’ ing four seamen for us to take on to Aspinwuil. We now have an opportunity to tully inspect the r<icuiars. ‘The City of Guatemala, an tron propeller of 1,700 | tons, sister sbip to the City of Panama, sailed from | New York on the ith inst. for Aspinwall, with a | crew of forty-five officers and men, but without | passengers, u cargo of 1,000 tons 0) coal and 380 tons of assorted ireight, She was commanded by | Captain J.

THE MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE. acinicnanenno— Petitions to Congress on the Subject—In- teresting Details as to Uur Mercantile Marine. Below will be found drafts of petitions for pres- entation to Congress at ita next meeting, which hay for their object the permanent estab- lishment of the marine hospital service of the country and for giving greater faciilties to the sick and disabled seamen of the United States merean- tile marine. Une of the objects atmed at after permanent organization is the creation in the city of New York of a marine hospital, which, 1t is pe- Neved, can be made self-supporting. The men constituting the American merchant marie ag- gregate in round numbers about 113,000 souls, comprising the officers and crews of 26,853 ves- sela of 38,721,425 tons burden. Upon the in- dividual members of the body is assessed by statute, since 1798, a monthiy tax constituting’ the Marine Hospital fund, out of which is defrayed the cost of the service, the de- ficiency being deirayed by annual appropriations from Congress. In 1799 the law was amended to include the navy, but in 1811 was established for the navy, and has so remained. The administra- this fund and the management oi the Marine of Customs till 1870, when the service was re- organized by act of Congress, and the tax was 1D- creased irom twenty cents vo lorty cents a month. When the large interests of this brancu of public service are considered the necessity of having an able surgeon general at its head will be conceded, and aiso that tne department in question, Itke that of the Army and Navy Medical Service, should be iree trom partisan infuences.
