statement Of the OfIicials i'm Charge of
the Institution.
The startling report of the Grand Jury OF
Orleans regarding their visit to the City Work
house, in which they charged that one of the in
mates Of the Workhouse had been sent to the
Charity Hospital, whence he was discharged,
and no steps were taken by The officials
OF Che Workhouse to have him returned;
and also that ths workhouss contained only
seventeen inmates, when 1t was asserted TO the
Grand Jury by the assistant warden that there
were about thirty in the institution, has led the
DEMOCRAT to make an investigation OF the
matter.
Calling at the Mayors office yesterday, our re-
porter preached tho subject to his Honor, who
said that the alter had been called to his atten.
tion long ago--to this and kindred matters--and
that he had called for the reports OF the officials
In charge of the various Institutions Of the city,
including the Insane Asylum, the House OF
Refuge and the Workhouse, OF which he had
made compendiums.
PRESSURE OF BUSINESS
consequent upon the reorg ganiz ston of the police
force had interrupted him in this work. and the
report OF the Grand Jury on the subject, pub
lished in the morning papers, had taken him
quite by surprise. He proposed to Immediately
investigate the matter.
Mr.. Pilsbury thereupon furnished our reporter
with the following compendium OF the receipts
and expenses Of the Workhouse for the quarter
including the months OF January, February and
March. which Is published for reference:
Salaries. groceries, provisions. 49, 241 03
