Hu same spirit of economy is seen
in th. feeding an<l cloathing of the pri
soners. Each one is supplied by con
tract, with breakfast and din:r:r for six
and a quarter cts. a day. The whole of
their cloathing from the raw materials,
up to the complete garment, is the work
of their own hands. These views can
not hu: be flatter ing to the people of
Virginia, and the friends of humanity
every where. interest ar.J benevo
lence are thus shewn to go hand in
l and ; and since the ends of punish
ment can be so humanely und eiftctu
allv purchased at so cheap a price,Ji: is
to be hoped that every legislature, of
every suite ‘in the union, may adopt the
idea, and rxtend the benefits of the pe
nitentiary system to their own citizens.
Hie committee cannot clo.»e these
r*m;t tes, without again respectfully
calling the notice of the legislature, to
t the propriety of having a wall raised
and a vegetable garden enclosed, as •
fc »n a* p acticable. The health of the
infirm prisoners would be promoted by
tire aid ofsuch s*t’ry-exercise as they
m;05., find tn d». gauicu. Such at lv ast
is the oiled of these improvements in
;he “ St.v ” u >nd Penitentiary
House” of New-York.
All which is respectfully submitted.

he generally rt«*termii,ed by the quantity of

By Much mean* the tax upon income
would operate, eith- r »s a diminution [
of interest, or as an increase on the price
of hir ng money. At the sime time the
sccur ty, and ’.tie certainty wn'ch the len.
dcr would obtain, would render it tnor*
beneficial to him to receive his interest, by !
quarterly instalfnems or by other arrange
ments, though *ne tax, slim'd reduce hi* 1
interest even to 5 per cent, than to be de. j
prired of the means of receiving it in a sum
mary way, though by contr act be should be !
entitled to 6 per cent; and the borrower, ;
| by paying the tax, would lo that rxien , j
I'add to ihi. price of ihe hire. A lewyeais, 1
by the i teration of compound interest, will j
idlew that 5 p-r cent, punctually paid, is
better than bix, to depend on the usual
I modes of rrccovery. By compnand inte.
rest, at 5 percent, money will double in a.
i boot th.rtetn years ; by asci pic interest, at
. 6 per cent it will reqture about sixteen
I years. ’1 his shews the benefit of puuciu*
ality end certainty to the lender,
i.. This mode won d impose no hardship on ■

Upon ex unih itiOii it wilt be lo-ii even
if the b .rrower by his bargain, shall t»e
compelled to pay the tax of one per cent
to the lender, that it will not place him on
a worse footing than those who borrow
from the bank; for although the bank-dis.
C unts are made by deductions at the rate
of six per cent per annum, yet the borrow
er actually pays, at the rate of 6 Jdlnrs
a year for the use of ninety-four dollars j
and as the bank operations are renewed
every sixty days, the effect of compound,
ingthe interest so frequently will make
it more agreeable and as Cheap to borrow
according to tins plan, and the borrower
will moreover have the satisfaction of
knowing that part of wiiit he p .ys will op
erate to public benefit.
Even it the tax of one per cent upon mo.
ney, thus secured, shouia be too high, or it
a tax of any knd should ue opposed, yet
this mode of secur ng the payment of into,
rest will be found to produce great ad van.

Besides, the many advantages already al
