We have watched him N discharge

THE SOUTHERN PRISON.
The Showing Made by the Annual Report of
the officers of the Penitentiary.

The officers of the Jeffersonyille prison filed
their report for the last fiscal year Will the Gov
ernor yesterday. The directors give the custom
airy assurance that the institution is in every way
in a better condition than ever before. They
state that ''for more than two years the cat or
whip has not been used as a means Of punish
ing refractory c~onvicts. Lighter and less re-
voting methods of punishment have
been found 20 be as effective in
maintaining discipline" It has been found that
the forfeiture of good time" and the depriva-
ton OF privileges: such as writing to or seeing
friends. and the use of tobacco. have been suf-
fcient, in a great majority of cases, to secure
ready compliance With prison rules.
At the beginning OF the fiscal year there were
$50 convicts in the prison, and there are now
500 enrolled. The daily average has been SIP,
While in the preceding year it was $40.
in the prison since 1882 FIVE
per cent. have died. Last year the death rate
was Ia per cent. The per cent. of pardons
since the prison was established has been IA, but
"a per cent of the prisoners were thirty years of
age and under. Seventy one per cent. can read
and write, 10 per cent. can read only. and 10 per
cent. can neither read nor write. Fiftysix per
cent are single, 3S married, and 6 are
ted that they had been incorporate. Fifty
one of the convicts are serving life
sentences. The average period below life is
three years and four months. Of the total num-
Der Ill of the prisoners were convicted Of MUIR
der, twenty seven of manslaughter and thirty of
assault and battery with intent to commit muir
der. Among the different pursuits represented
by the convicts there are fourteen
who were BARRIERS, six bartenders,
ten blacksmiths; three book keepers, eight
butchers, seven carpenters, nine clerks,
thirteen coopers, ten doctors, thirteen engineers,
l47 farmers, seventeen hostlers, Ill laborers,
ten machinists, nine miners. twelve molders,
sixteen painters. seven ~peddlers, twenty-five
railroaders. twenty six shoemakers. eighteen
teamsters, and eight walters. In their habits
269 were moderate. 173 temperate, and 14 in
ing the year amounted to $50, 666. &C..

Mr.. Kitz asked the loan of Sc, 600 to meet the
requirements of the road fund. He explained
that on account of many who worked out their
road tax the receipts of this fund had always
been close TO the expenditures. A great deal of
repairing and grading had to be done the past
year, the expense of which bridge building also
increased, as bridges costing less than $3.50 had
to be paid out of the road fund. His request will
be considered on Wednesday next.
