COUNTY HAIL.

CORRESPONDENCE THAT SHOULD BE READ By
EVERY CITIZEN OF NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY:
JUDGE The present number of convicts in
the Eastern Penitentary is in excess OF the cel-
lular accommodation for them. The separation
of each convict from the other is both the philo-
sophie and legal basis of the system of ''indi-
vidual treatment which now most truly de-
scribes the Penitentiary system, or its admira-
ton in this Penitentary.
The Board of Inspectors has directed me to
invite your attention to this fact. AS the priso-
ners under sentence from your county are sent
to the Eastern State Penitentiary, it is proper
you should have Official notice of the inability OF
| the institution to treat them as required by law.
| The circumstances which, in a great measure,
have produced the present crowded condition Of
the institution, are the consequence of SO many
long sentences, that the average annual dis
charges are less than the average number re-
| ceived.
If you would ALLOW me to make suggestion,
which if approved and adopted would greatly
relieve the institution, Il is that young offenders;
first offenders convictions for the lesser degrees
of crime; individuals who are convicted for
violations of law which do not place them
among the crime class, but rather among eul-
prts whose offence is the result of some tempo
rary or exceptional cause, should be sent to the
prison Of the county, or common jail, for pun
ishment by Imprisonment. The wisdom of the
course will, on a moments reflection, it is be-
lieved, be apparent. Sentences to State Pcni-
tentary, to great degree, stamp on those SO
sentenced the name of convict in the most de-
grading sense. To stigmatze any of the class
of offenders to which reference has been made
with this mark, and by this name, in no way
subserves the ends of justice of the purposes OF
punishment. Long sentences for high crimes,
if the first conviction, do not necessarily reach
either prevention, example, punishment, or re-
form. The adjusting of the sentence to the
crme-cause is one of The truest tests of its pur-
pose. Time, in Itself, isolated from all other
considerations, is no element in the aim OF pun
shment by Imprisonment
These remaks are most respectfully presented
for your consideration, and this occasion is en-
braced to assure you of the very high respect
with which have the honor to be
Yours, very truly,
RICHARD VAUX,
President of the Board of Inspectors of the East
ern State Penitentiary.

THE FAIR.-The fair which commences at this
place on Tuesday next, will undoubtedly be the
best ever held in northern Pennsylvania. Dur
ing the past week new life was infused, and its
success cannot be doubted, and farmers have en-
tire confidence, and have been busy in preparing
articles and products for exhibition. They are
determined that it shall not be excelei as far as
the exhibition Is concerned. The stock depart
ment, as well as the vegetable, mechanical, fine
arts, floral and handiwork, will be frst-class.
The trotting will be the best that has taken
place on the course, as some of the fastest
horses in the country will be entered to compete
for the liberal premiums offered. On Wednes-
day grand parade of military and liremen will
take place. This display will be one of the
finest ever witnessed IN this section. In fact,
the managers have left nothing undonc to make
il a grand success.

SINCE the editor of the Democrat did not sue

never have heard of the gambling and other

we are 10 have all this wicked conduct at the

SUNBURY, September %. 1915.

/
Hon. RICHARD VAUx, President of the Board
of Inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary
DEAR SIR Yours of 23d ult. has been re-
ceived. You stated that the present number of
| convicts In the Eastern State Penitentiary is in
excess of the cellular accommodation for them,
and make several suggestions that heartily ap-
prove. In this county, however, the difficulty
is that we have no Jail that is fit for the safe
keeping of the large number of prisoners we are
Obliged to accomodate. This District embraces
large portion of the coal mining district of the
State, and in point of business, bCsh civil and
criminal, believe it is the largest in the State
presided over by single Law Judge. Iapprove
of your suggestions relative to the length of SEN
tences of persons convicted for violations OF law
| which do not place them among the crime class,
! &C. but al, experience has convinced us that
! owing to the character OF large proportion OF
the population of this District the public safety
| requires rigid enforcement of the criminal laws
Tie evidence produced in many cases is of such
character that shows that the accused are not
fit persons to be allowed to run at large, and
we believe it to be our duty in such cases to i'm
pose long sentences.
There is a large class, however, that comes
strictly within the meeting of your suggestions,
such as persons convicted for petty larcenics and
the like, but where the law requires the Court to
sentence them TO undergo imprisonment by separ-
ate and solitary confinement at labor. In such
cases. it seems we have no alternative, but must
send them to the Pententiary for term not less
than one year. Under the act of Assembly no
person can be sent to the Pcntentiary for less
than one year, and in counties where there are
no jais in which they can be .imp-ison4 by
separate and solitary confinement at labor the
Court is Obliged to sentence them to the Peniten-
tiary. The jail in this county was built, be-
live, during the last century. 1t contains but
four or five rooms for the accommodation of pri-
soners, and we have often more than twenty per-
sons in it. The Act of Assembly requires the
sanction of two successive Grand -Inric5 10 au-
tborize the County Commissioners TO erect public
buildings Frequently n Grand Jury, in this
county has recommended the building OF new
iail, but the next jury would not concur. The
last Grand Jury in this county reported 'that
the Jail was unfit to keep human beings in" I;
and yet they voted nine in favor and thirteen
against building a new one. Now, under these
circumstances, the Pcnitentiary being full, and
our Jail unfit and not constructed so as to enable
| the Court to sentence prisoners to be confined
| there to be dealt with in accordance with the
| Act of Assembly, 'what VIC going to do
about it, / would be pleased to hear further
| from you if you can suggest remedy.
Very truly yours,

THE editor OF the Watsontown Record don't
look like George Washington, and unlike the
father of his country, he is pretty good on telling
a lie, although he never possessed hatchel, and
never expects to. Since he connected himself
with Eichholtz's Ring he has become notorious
for telling political lies to which there is scarce
an end. He is an apt scholar, and under his
present tutor is making rapid progress, and will
soon compete with his master Jake, and then his
reputation for vcracity will be entirely forgotten.
We hope that he viii see his evil habits. and
learn TO tell the truth ana shame his master.
