DISTRICT JAIL.

WANNUAL REPORT OF THE WARDEN.
Gen. John S. Croker, warden Of the District
jail, will to-day submit TO the Attorney General
his annual report Of that Institution, OfWheh the
following is an abstract: II was hoped that the
new Jail building in course Of construction would
have been completed and occupied previous to
this time, but regrets to state such hope has not
been realized The old jail building is still being
occupied which, with its want Of capacity, delec-
tive ventilation and faulty construction, is but
poor apology for q jail. The health Of the pris-
oners has been generally good, which has been
produced, in q great measure, by the best OF med
ures. The ofieers employed here, as q rule, have
been vigilant and attentive to duty. During the
year not a prisoner has escaped: for which ne
renders the deputy warden and guards we'll
merited eommendation.
The prisoners have been supplied with whole
some and nutritious food In abundance, which
has been carefully inspected by an otleer before
being served, thus leaving no room Tor any rea-
sonable complaint on account Of quantity or
quality Of the rations. In regard 70 clothing,
the rule has been to issue TO such prisoners only
as were destitute and had no means Of procuring
clothing for themselves.
In view Of the early completion Of the new jail
he recommends that provision be made by law to
authorize the courts 70 sentence all prisoners to
labor who should be tried and convicted, and
whose term Of imprisonment shall exceed ten
days. It would also lessen the attractions to GER
tain offenders, and they would be more cautious
about getting in jail. II would also cause great
moral reformation TO be secured.

OBITUARIES.
DIR. EDWARD N. WOOD.

IN IL " M Az. "OOO'
The many friends Of DR.. Edwin N. Wood Will
regret to learn Of his death, which occurred on
the 14th instant, Of consumption, at Santa Bar
bara, California, whittier he had gone in search
Of health. The deceased contracted his disease
in this city, Of which he was resident, somefour
years since, and his health being despaired Of by
his physicians, at their suggestion he made the
visit to Santa Barbara. he improved so rapidly
that his friends we're encouraged to hope tor q
final recovery, and he was enabled to commence
the publication Of the Weekly IRder, The labOrs
connected with this undertaking oTertasked his
strength, however, and compelled him to abandon
il in the course Of the year. Although young, he
had won an enviable reputation in the East as
writer. He had been Tisibly failing for some time
past, and the sun-bright intellect that remained
undimmed through all the long months Of physi-
breath. While in Santa Barbara he married
Mrs. q. N. F. Hall, whom he leaves q widow to
mourn his death.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

The contest for the Congressionai,
nomination for this district, is narrowed
down to two candidates.
MIR. Faulkner has published an ac-
dress 70 the district, announcing ms
position upon the issues involved IN the
present contest, which address has been
nuhlished in almost all the Democratic
papers of this district, and is spoken OF
n the highest terms by all. As far as
we have been able to see, from the SEN
,iments expressed, and the drift OF pop
ular feeling, the greatest unanimity eA-
lists in favor of the nomination OF MT
Faulkner. The waichwords with the
people, at the present time are, edpaeny'
reputation and experience. This Mr.: r.
has, and those are the questions which
have aroused the people in his behalf.
There can be no question that Mr. r.
was entitled to the nomination last year
in our Congressional Convention, and
that had the delegates who were IN
structed to vote for him, obeyed their
constituents, he would have received
the nomination. He therefore goes
before the people with equal claims to
their support, as this gentleman, who
by reason of the act of one delegate, IN
violating the wishes of the people, rom
mated the Hon. b. +. Martin for that
position.
