From the N. y Times.
We understand the Prison Association, or
one or more of its members, is preparing
report, at the request of Governor Hoffman,
setting forth in detail the shocking abuses
which mark the condition of the State Pri-
sons, owing almost exclusively to the CONVEX
sion of the various offices connected with
their administration into prizes for poll
ticians; and if we are correctly informed,
the Governor is sufficiently impressed with
the importance of the bject to be willing to
recommend anything that may be necessary
even an amendment to the Constitution
to take this whole class of offices out
of the political arena. There is pro
badly nothing in the field of politics
which more strongly illustrates the ex-
tent to which the principal players in the
game have rid themselves of ali scruples of
conscience, than their application to the
management of the prisons the rule of
rotation to which they have subjected the
distribution of the rest of the spoils. AS we
have more than once said, the community
can bear with great deal that is bad and
corrupt in politics, if it only have the admin

FIRST BOARD.
Money at other Points.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of Friday, says
The money market was somewhat re-
heved to-day by receipts of currency from
New York, but some of the banks and bank
ers who have not before done so ordered
out supply to arrive Saturday morning.
The demand for loans is not quite as large,
but it is sufficient to absorb all the money
which there is to lend. Rates of discount
are firm in bank at 9@12 per cent, the bulk
Of the transactions being at 10. In the
open market money commands 1@2 per
month on prime to good mercantile paper
There is something doing in call loans at 10
G12 per cent, and there is more disposition
to lend money on good collateral securities
az these rates than to take mercantile paper
at higher figures.
The Chicago Tribune, of Thursday, has
the following:
The packing season is at its hight at the
present time, and packers need, and are
using, large amount Of funds, while the
receipts of live stock are extreme, and it re-
quires round sum of money each year to
handle the stock that comes here, more
particularly during the winter months.
Hence it is not surprising that money is
tight, and when the 1000, 900 bushels of
grain in store here, which the banks will
be compelled to carry through the winter,
is taken into account, it is difficult to per-
ceive any encouraging symptoms of an easy
market for the present, at least. The banks
being hard up are per force compelled to
select the class of business men to whom
they can afford to grant favors, and it is
due to bankers generally to state that they
they conine their favors to legitimate bust
ness men, and though, in some instances,
the latter are compelled to accept a smaller
sum than that for which they ask, they are
quite well taken care of, considering the
actual condition of theloan market Rates
of interest remain firm at 10 per cent per
annum On the outside market there is an
active inquiry for loans, and private capt.
tai finds ready Investment at Il to per
cent per month.
The movement of currency to and from
the interior to-day was not very large either
way, but the country got the best of the
day, and it would appear that there is an

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
Melancholy Accident.

1t becomes our painful duty to chronicle
one of those accidents that chill the nerves
and make the blood curdle coldly about
the heart. Near dark last night, little Mol
lie Forrest Haslam, daughter of John and
Martha Haslam, aged three years and six
months, was burned to death in most
shocking manner. Her parents live on
McLemore street, between Gay and Cedar.
They reside in two-story house and oc-
cupy one of the upper rooms as family
room. The child was @ fine, sprightly
little girl and somewhat of pet Of the
neighberhood. The mother went down
stairs on some domestic duty leaving the
little girl alone. There was some fire in
the CRATE at the time, though not much, and
a candle near by. During the absence Of
Mrs. Haslam, the child, as is supposed, en-
deavored to light the candle and set her
clothes on fire. On the return of the
mother, little fire wss discovered on the
hearth, and tie unfortunate child was found
under the sewing machine. All her clothes
were burned off, and she herself was
burned almost to q crisp, the skin and
flesh sloughing off her limbs and body.
Her finger nails were burned off. Death
put an end to her fortunes speedily, as she
died in few moments after being discov-
cred. The father and mother are over
whelmed at the catastrophe. They have
many friends here and also in the city of
Louisville. We deeply sympathise with
them in their terrible calamity.
