The True System of PRISON Discipline.
Reform with Punishment.

The attempt made by a convict few
weeks since To nltimidute the prison Of
fcials at sing Sing by getting bottle OF
uitro-glyceriuc and threatening to blow
ont the side Of the prison should the
keepers endcayur to seize him, and the
recent escapes from that institution, have
attracted a great deal of attention.
Some newspapers, ready to leap at con-
clusiOn without even an mvestgal lion upon
which to base il, AZ once COInmcncedu Wig
orous attack upon Mr.. llUBBELI, the War
den, and his theory of prison discipline.
They sand lac was all wrong. That when
there were over 100 cOnvicts at Sing sing
and only accommodations for about u
Thousand ana man or two escaped, his
ideas Oi discipline were nonsense. They
wanted him to apply the hastinado to
the whole twelve hundred; and be-
causc lac went about among them un-
armed and ns ne had been accustomed 10

The interview with Mr. llUHuELL which

contain valuable Information. The ideas
expressed on the subject of prison disci-
plino are founded upon many years Of close
analysis OF the subject and IL wide field
of experience. The classification system
has proved The most successful for the
treatment Of couvicts. Based upon tho
theory Of gradual improvement, the pris-
oncr is made the instrument of his own
reformation. His condition is amelorated
according to his conduct. This system was
founded on the principle adopted by Capt

be made to resemble life outside the prison

Stealing the District school Fund.

Although the property of the District OF
Columbia has been exorbitantly assessed
and the taxes relatively raised, 1t is noto-
rious that the public schools police fre-
men, employees laborers, and others de-
pendent Oh their salaries and toll for sub
sstence have not been paid since last
March. Recently a portion of these dues
has been arbitrarily extinguished by pay
ing them in deprecated certificates Of in-
debtedncss which are not accepted by any
Of the responsible banks at Washington
and have no currency or recognized value
in trade The law levying taxes sets aside
SPECIFIC sums for most Of these objects, ana
they have been collected in proportion 10
the aggregate paid in.
What has become OF the money is an
other and a very interesting question TO
the taxpayers. When the tax collector pays
his returns over to Gov. COOKIES bank,
where all the revenues of the District are
deposited without the least authority of
law, and used rs so much capital without
ever paying dime Of interest to the COM
munity, they are all Jumped together and
distributed according 10 the interest of
the Ring. Fuvurites. pet contractors who
| div idc, and u-urcIs who shave the needy
| ut remotsuicss rates on behalf of those iii-
side, are always paid with the first receipts,
while the most sacred funds are despollcd
/ TO carry on this system OF robbery.

notwithstanding their notoriety there has
not been the least disposition shown 10
