deputy superintendent of police joae we learn aro arn olevery som oa every curious facts illustrative of the character chara acter of the crimes incident to a dense population and most common in the city of new york more than persons have violate dihe dibe laws during the last three months some bome of them in the he most outrageous manner and blen bien be en arrested for doing so how many criminal have escaped detection de lection it itis is impossible pot sible to know it certain that no such number as ahr that t stated has been seriously punished or subjected to any great greak degree ot of imprisonment for ouri ours our jails would not hold them many escape from want of evidence many forfeit the bonds given for their appearance and a considerable number escape through the leniency of the juries technical defects in the indictments absence 1 of witnesses and other means to mention which might be considered by some of our immaculate officials to be li bellous the greatest proportion of these offenders 1047 are natives of ireland 1621 came from germany eleven are celestials Celesti als and one actu patagonia those of american birth are 2 2690 in number only about one to four of the irish thus it appears that the two countries f furnish furbish criminals in the following proportions one of every seventy is irish and rid of but one american when rhen according to the he ordinary rules of proportion it should be much dirch the other way seven murderers have been arrested and i I 1 experience most of thein them will ivill ekl egl escape 1 sixty five

schools and reformatory associations thirteen have bave been taken up for the commission of rape and nine more for attempting it so that abat it seems that establishments of a certain tin jin eb which have received the advantage of a favorable dictum from an eminent judge do not have the f full till effect tor which their advocates so philosophically contend and this too although the police itself has interfered with only orlly eighty houses of ill fame out put of several thousands during these three months past and arid with but one solitary land out of the hundreds whose in income bomes sare are derived f flom om the letting of houses for licen timis tinis purposes we perceive that bigamy had bad bub but four representatives senta tives in the cells though a good nany many more cases

their thein their right of domiciliation or inquire into their pedigree the petty larceny thieves amounted to 1141 and those who ho audaciously violated the ordinances of our virtuous common council were ivere 1 1041 41 we can only account for this close resemblance in numbers between those who commit crimes against property and arid those who violate the city ordinances b by the supposition that there are such things as a bill of costs and a profitable penalty visible at the bottom of most municipal prosecutions it speaks well for the general ability of the people to maintain themselves that these crimes against property iro Ero perty are not only not the greatest jn in num numb ers but bear a limited proportion to the whole while the vices 9 of f intemperance and sensuality voluntary idler idleness si and a love of pie pleasure asure the vices of the thle animal frame appear to be the causes of most mosi of the criminality which the police have had occasion to repress some other curious circumstances are revealed by athis this report it appears that great temptation tem n is placed in the cay way vay of our city vagabonds by the carela carelessness asness of a large number of our citizens thus two hundred and sixty stores stored were f found open and unprotected and as mapy a as sone one audred hu dred ared and ninety four tour del dei dwellings lings one hundred horses were running astray inviting the attention of knacker ackers 8 and tired pedestrians and twelve twel ve thousand four hundred and ninety five dollars were found in the pockets of station lodgers and others taken into custody in it sums sufficient to reward regard the risk of expert thieves and rapport the whole fraternity of Tombs lawyers one great obstacle sn in the way of an improvement tin lin the moral condition of the offending classes is the well known protection when they are in danger which they are afforded by political mends menus s most alost of these thase wretches who are daily and nightly dragged to the police stations are regular voters and are numerous enough to change tb the complexion of the maids of which they are the terror Sorrie sordie of these familiar cwi with th the criminal box are fo the possession of good fat offices both under unter th the e st ite and national governments and use their influence and money in turn to shield their poorer friends As long ions as this condition conditi bir of things exists ve cannot expect amelioration in tle the habits babits or principles of those who are so prone to do evil and filid find it does not pay todo well I 1 we must expect then this inducement du cement to criminality will continue to aid in swelling ofir our dri gri criminal minal minai calendars in a d large city we always find constant temptations to intoxication licentiousness and numero numerous 1 us causes for disagreements quarrels and disorderly conduct many opportunities for theft commercial frauds forgeries and perjuries per juries for gambling burglaries and anil embezzlements embezzle ments these are the usual vices of a derse dense population the only fundamental remedy is the spread off 0 oun I 1 education since all experience and able records show that well instructed people are not in the habit of committing the crimes which stain the public character and add when whan they ao do they are the exception and not the rule society is ignot not growing worse though the appalling array of crime would make us think so in the city we see more conspicuously ita its concentration and the consequences of a precarious crowded and unnatural condition of life |
