From the Phila. city Item.
M0nd0enle ent of Institutions.

The Baltimore Sun Qhinking of our
House of Refugee says that there are
not many communities that are not
accustomed to the stereotype style of
comforting and satisfactory reports
presented from time to time by official
visitors to public institutions, as re-
formatory and correctional establish
ments, almshouses, penitentiaries,
iails, etc, in regard to their conduct
and condition.
Doubtless in many cases these re-
ports are justly made after due scrutiny
by practical men, determined to do
their duty in the premises and exact
the same of the officers and others
whose work of administration and its
results they are appointed to inquire
into. Yet if there be Il uniform Colour
de rose hue given to particular institu-
tions under all administrations and
VARYING circumstances for too long Il
period, the fact cannot but excite sus
picion of want of thoroughness, or
of things having been fixed up for the
occasion of visitation.
The Pittsburg Dispatch gives very
striking illustration of this in our
House of Refuge, the managers ofwhich
institution lately issued an annual re-
port Of most cheering and encourag-
ing character. 1t is stated in that re-
port that during no year since the
foundation of the charity have more
strenuous efforts been made to pro-
mote it's welfare and enlarge its use
fulness than the one just closed. 1t
appears, however, that abuses had been
alleged to exist at the Refuge, and the
charges were considered serious
enough to lead to the appointment of
committee of investigation by the
Lower House of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature.
We learn from the investigation that
during the year 1674no less than thirty
inmates were stripped to nudity, laid
across a table, held down by the asso-
ciates and cruelty logged with heavy
rattan. During the investigation by
the committee one boy testified that he
had been divested of his clothes, laid
upon table and whipped till the blood
| flowed from his veins, and his flesh
was so fearfully mangled that, although
the flogging took place some months
| before, he still bears the marks OF the
| LASH

Thenows from Ohio is not materially changed,
except that returns from some of the ''back"
counties reduce Hayess majority. Yesterday
afternoon, the Democratic lCommittoe even
claimed to hope for the election OF Allen. The
parties, gains and losses being reported in local
tiles where the reverse was confidently expect.
ed. The Legislature is probably Republican in
both branches. In Ross county, the home Of
Allen, the Republicans gain over 400 votes, and
elect nearly their whole county ticket. The
Democrats gain generally in the mining Districts
and in several manufacturing towns, including
Youngstown, where Judge Kelley rspoke,
and Steubenville. The heaviest Republi-
can gains are III Cinciunat Cleve-
land, and tho Western Reserve In Franklin
county, whore Columbus, the State Capital, is
located, the Republican gain is over 900. JEFF
ferson, Mahoning, and almost every other coun-
ty where coal and iron are found, make gains
for Allen. As rule, the Democrats gain slightly
In all their former strongholds, and the Repub-
licans heavily in theirs, The Cincinnati En-
quirer declares that it will keep up the fight, and
threatens dire revenge on the New York Democ-
racy.
The following is the latest and most definite
dispatch sent TO the morning papers
COLUMBUS, Oct. 13-11 p. m.-The Democratic
Committee have returns.from 65 counties, and
their estimates ON the other 23 show that Hayes
is elected by about 2, 800. The Republicans have
full returns from So counties, which show gains
for Hayes netting 1888. There is, therefore,
no further doubt as to Hayes election. His
majority will probably be about 5000.

rhe DenornIized city Council.

Never in the history of the City Council-not
even when its presiding officer used to make
stump speeches to the crowd outside the railing
has that body presented more demoralized and
undignfed spectacle than during the session of
last evening. The harangues of Martin Farrell /;
his relation of the intriguing, scheming, log
rolling aud undorhand management which has
been resorted to in his party, since it held ma
jority in Council with the keen criticisms of
Mr. Hayes on Farrell, and his disclosures OF how
the latter proposed to carry the. Ninth Ward next
year all this, with the outside crowd, the bare
ly-suppressed excitement and the general at
mosphere Of low intrigue and extreme partisan
feeling, was enough to disgust those citizens
who suppose the duty OF the City Council is to
act for the public good and not for the advan-
tlge OF party or its ward wire-pullers.
