Two silver medals were unearthed
day or two ago by workmen while en-
gagged in making excavations at Ninth
and Christian streets. One is COM
memorative of the destruction OF the
Indian village of Kittaning by Colonel
John Armstrong, and was presented 70
him by this city. On one side is the
inscription, Kittaning destroyed by
Colonel Armstrong, September s, 1756,
and on the other side is the coat Of arms
OF the city, with the following: The
gift of the corporation of the city of
Philadelphia. The second is in COM
memoration of peace with the Indians,
and upon one side has the bust Of
George II, with the inscription,
" Georgius IL, Del Gratia," and on The
other is a representation of an Indian
and white man seated on opposite
sides of fire, the latter presenting the
pipe of peace. 1t also has these words:
/" Let us look to the Most High, who
blessed our fathers with peace 1867. -

its purpose in the last campaign. when the
fervid imagination of the fusion orators
couldn't be held in check by official fig
ures but now we have before us the re-
port of fusion Treasurer White. which is
fatal to such loose talk Ms that in which
the Age INDUCES.
On page of Treasurer Banks report
for 1873. it will be found that when
he turned over the State Treasury to his
fusion successor on the first OF Janu-
AIRY, 1879. there was $l57.s56 cash
in Treasury. against which was

So.
In other words the republicans turned
over the State to the fnsionists with
enough money in the treasury to pay the
floating Indebtedness, and p .2j6 to spare.
The fusionists left the State House with
"a treasury that is s55,5e1 worse
off than nothing-to say moth
ing Of the large expense incurred for
Capt. Blacks police and contingent
operations.
The fusion State government didn't
wipe out the floating Indebtedness of
$50, 900 that they found. They paid that
note. to be sure. but they borrowed 1925
600 10 do il with, which will have to be
paid this year; and they left ss7 900 less
in the treasury than the republicans did. In
1878 the republican State government paid
81. 900 on the principal of the State debt ;
in 1879 the fusionists paid nothing. The
only reason that the latter did not Issue
any bonds last year, was because none OF
| the State debt became due. This year.

ing of the fancial affairs, although no ios' |
NAV occur in consequence.
The complaint that the records call for 70
more con, tets than are in the prison. seems
to me to be unwarranfed By the facts, for the
deputr warden makes daily report, SHOW
ing the number of convicts in the prison; the
number at work II each shop III on "ofAine

names Of those in punishment, If any Also
the aaMe of each convict received and us

purpose. In this book the names of all con-
victs appear, with the date Of their entry m

charge. The clerk also keeps another rec
ord for his convenience. and into TINS lat
ter record the names OF the c0nsici-- with the
date of their discharge. are copied from the
former record of daily reports. AID the lact
that this latter recor1 had not been fuily
made up, furnished the ground for this
charge.
Neither can I agree with the majority re-
port that notes amounting TO s4.ols I'D can
not be found. The report of the commits

During the sixteen years thar Warden
Rice was in charge of the prison he took

The Other Side Of the State Prison
Business.

Ever since Warden Rice left the manage
ment of the State Prison there has been a
concerted howl against him by the opposition.
In the late annual report from tina; insttu-
ton the cutlery made in the last campaign
has been repeated by the present Warden and
a majority Of the Inspectors. A complete
answer to this is however found in a minori-
ty report made by Hon Rufus Prince, one Of
the Inspectors. which is as follows:
To the Honorable Governor and Council of
The State Of Name:
GESTLExES :-Inasmuch as cannot con-
scientiously endorse that portion OF the ma
iorty report relating to the management of
the prison under Warden Rice. | submit the
following, nj the same time fully endorsing
the remainder of said report.
The law provides that the inspectors shall
have n voice in the government and direction
of the prison, and that they shall visit it suit
fciently often to acqnaint themselves with the
general management of its affairs, and be
able to make at the end of each year an in
telligcnt statement of its financial standing
Il was not to be expected that in the limited
time that they could spend AZ the institution
they could acquaint themselves with all the
details of the business transactions of the war
den, or that they should be able to give more
than general opinion of the responsibility
of those to whom the warden gave credit for
goods sold them. or that the appraisal of the
property of the prison should be anything
more than approximately accurate. Acting
upon this idea of my duty, have, during the
eleven years that | have been member of
the board. endeavorcd 70 act honestly up to
it. and looking over our annual reports made
during that time feel confidence in their be-
ing Substantially correct. and notwithstand-
ing the aspcrsons of the majority report. |
still believe that the institution has been hon
estlv and efficiently managed in the interest
of the State during the entire term that War
den Rice was in charge of it. although being
| human he undoubtedly erred many times dur
ing the sixteen years that he was in charge of
its affairs.
When | became member of the Board of
Inspectors, it was their custom to return the
notes and accounts rs assets at the value
| shown to be due, and this custom has been
continued up to the present year. when they
were appraised at half that the books show to
be due.
In the following statement we give the
amounts shown BY the books to he due Nov
80. 1873, and April 10, 1879:
