REPORT ON THE PENITENTIARY.
The r**di-r will flml on the Aral p«jre of <mr paper
Ihe Majority Report of ilia Joint ponding CommiUea
on (tie Ponitemiary, presented to tlio Home of llepie.
■entativea oifSjtnrd.iy last, by Mr. Owen of Talbot.
The resder cannot.hut bo airnclt with the plain and in
telligible manner in which tho Report ia written, and
the evidnneo there given of a fair and impartial invea.
ligation of tho inatltution. There are no Blnlemeitta a 1
random, nor jumping at roncluaiona—no allcmpta nt
concealment whatever, but the whole transaction* of
the institution aro presented, conclusions are drawn,
and wholesome recommendations made to the Legisla
ture. Ono of them, in particular, ought, by all means,
lobe adopted, and it ia that ono for the appointment of
Commissioners to appraise at regular periods the raw
materials, notes, accounts, and other assets of the Pen
itentiary. Under the present system, large amounts of
assets aro turned over Irmn one set of officors to anoth
er, altogether or comparatively worthless. The last of
ficer having them rcporlB them at the same amount at
which ho received them from his predecessor—conse
quently tho people are deceived; and suppnso the Pen
itentiary has a largo amount of availabb assets, when,
perhaps, from age, or some other cause, they are not
worth ten cents in the dollar. By the change proposed,
this state of things will no longer exist, and those in
terested .an at any time know tho true condition of the
institution.
Mr. Wofford, from the Minority Committee, (himself
and five others) made a counter Report, which we ex
pect to publish in our next. We aro sorry that we can
not speak of this report as the one above. But candour
prompts 113 to say, that it has not the characteristics of
investigation, frankness, or fair and opcu dealing—in
fine, it is a one aided, parly affair. The committee
set out with the proposition that convict labor
cannot be made profitable—and without present,
ing in their report, (as tho majority did) the
whole transactions of the Penitentiary, the amount
of assets received from the old officers, tho amount
of assets now on hand, the labor done, &e., tho
committee, after charging the present officers with what
they have received, tail to give them credit for wliat
they have done and the assets they have, so a9 to make
good the assertion, that “it cannot be reasonably ex
pected that the public can profit by criminals.” And
in doing this, near $30,000 of materials and assets are
left out of the credit side, which the maiorily commit,
tcc say tho present officers are entitled to—and rel
ative to which there ought to be no difference, as it is
a mere question of fad—which tho materials and as
sets in the Penitentiary at any moment show.
But wo learn that, on motion of Mr. Wofford, the
Majority and Minority Reports have been recommitted
to the Joint Standing committee on tho Penitentiary—
and hoping that Gen. Wofford and others with liitn,have
seen their error, and will withdraw their report, wo
shall conclude fur the present.
TJ* Mr. Geoiige G. Henry, Commission Merchant ]
at Mobile, Ala, in a circular of the 5th inst., estimates '
the present cotton crop of <tlie U. States at 3,150,000
bales. After giving the most liberal estimates admiss
ible from the information lie has gathered by personal
observation, and from what he has been able to procuro
from sources which ho considers entitled to the most
credit, Mr. H. estimates the crop thus—Atlantic States
500.000 j Florida 140,000 ; Alabama440,000 and Now
Orleans 1,070,000 bales—total 2,150.000. lie seems
to think the price of cotton this season will bo better
than the last, from the fact that there is not so much
made, and from the increase of Manufactures. From
data, he estimates the consumption for 1340 at 3,311,.
000 bales—to complete this, estimates 1,100,00 bales
stock itt Europo on 1st January, 1946, United States
stock 94,000, crop of 1845, 2,150,000, crop of East In
dies, &c., 510,000—total 3,854,000 ; leaving stock in
Europe and in ihe United States on the 1st January,
1847, 513,000 hales.
The Hon. Rice Garland, one of the Judges of the
Court in Louisiana, having been charged with forgery
and the evidence being tolerably sttong against him,
attempted to commit suicide, by throwing himself from
a steamboat in the Mississippi. He was, however, res
cued.
