Since 1850, the National debt has been slight

increased in the aggregate, though Virginia and

to others But instead of State debts we have
an enormous increase Of county debts, railroad
company bonds, city water loans; &C.. of which
very large proportion has been sent abroad to
paw for railroad iron and goods, and sold at u
considerable discount The amount of our for.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF THE
PENITENTlARY.

As might naturally be expected, there appears
to be many defects in the economy adopted for
the government and regulation of The State Pris-
on. Perfection is not to be looked for, even in
| the best matured of human institutions, 30 that
ne can readily account for wants in the laws
and regulations of q scarcely yet formed Com
monwealth.
We give the subjoined extract from the Re-
port
For the ordinary support Of the Prison, it ap.
pears the Legislature has made no provisions,
and in the Legislation in regard to it contained
in the "Code, !" the laws seem to be framed not
to meet its present condition and emergencies,
but are adapted to what il was supposed its
condition. would be in after years, when mum.
bers, appendages, and a complete system Of or
ganza,i N would conduce to its well being and
prosperity.
In so doing, the inspectors cannot but feel
that the laws a. they now exist, are defective in
many respects as regards its present existence
and support, and are wanting in pro visions abb
solutely necessary for its successful operation
The inspectors estimate the expenses of the
prison, during the fiscal year, commencing the
| lst October, 1851, as follows:
General support average 10 convicts Sl,O2j
Pay Of Warden, 500
Clerk and Commissary, 300
/" Deputy Warden, 800
One overseer, 800
Three inspectors, $50 each, $50
Contingent, 200
$2,565
Income 10 convicts, 800 days-30cts, $4,000
Estimated excess Of expenses over in.
come, 1866, 90
Tr.nIn he 0n 81
ded in the above estimate, are embraced fuel,
lights and every necessary expense connected
with the Prison.
As it will become our duty before the next
session Of the Legislature, to lay before your
Excellency another report, we submit the fore
gong with the expectation of entering more full
" into the matter in the report to be then pre-
scented. !
In conclusion, we would urge upon your
Excellency, the absolute necessity Of adopting
some means for the payment of the officers Of
