The select committee of the House Of Representa-
tives, in their report Of March 2, l649, upon this
subject say that the expense Of subsstng and safe
keeping each prisoner since the establishment OF this
prison has been 80 year; and they further say,
''that they would not mention this fact subject
Of regret, IL the penitcntiary were now accomplish
ing, were likely hereafter 10 accomplish the OBJ
ject Of its projectors"
Had the committee had the data necessary TO
form a correct opinion the subject, 10 have ena-
bled them look little cloecr into the real state OF
the case than they have DONE they would have
found IL ! have above stated; and, instead
of mentioning this "fact" a cause OF "regret,"
IL would have been with them a OF consider

all the unfavorable circumstances which II bad TO
encounter for years. 10 maintain itself TO even the

The truth is, that the actual expense OF subssting
each prisoner here, exclusive OF the charges for
fuel, lights officers salaries, and contingencies, u
not than S36 year; this IL lar below the
committees calculation Of 8 so for the same SER
vice, after dcducting the other expenses.
But let us go little further into this subject, and
sec how this calculation will work upon a larger
scale, and then draw from thence the correct con
clusion Of how much injustice has been done to this
institution by those who have not carefully er
amined the matter.
The number of United States conyicts confined in
the penentary for the eastern district Of Pennsyl
vania, according TO the above showing, being
average for each year during the past twenty years
is 81. IL we multiply this number by the sum paid
by Government for subsisting and safe keeping
them there, which is si0a for each. IL will give
product 9572 for the 81, to which, If we add the
value othe labor Of each prisoner also, rating at
the low estimate Of 3 80 per week, or SIS year,
we will have the aggregate expense OF keeping 5l
prisoners each year at 3 ,O0l; or thus:

Surprising, then, that there are two hundred Of
