OUR COUXTY JML.
At the May term, 1873, of our Cir
cuit court, our county j.iil was con
demned, lwing insecure ami not suffi
cient in anv rcsiicct. It necessarily
devolved upon our County court, at its
October term, held last week, to device
ways and means to build a new jail.
J'lieh mcmler of the court was liable
to a prosecution for failing to vote
for, or rather for voting against build
ing a new jail, or remodeling the old
one. The court voted for buildin' a
new jail, to cent not exceeding ten
thousand dollar?, and voted to i sue tue
bonds of the county to run not exceed
ing four years, hairing seven per cent.
interest per annum, with the provision
that the bonds- should not be sold at
less than par value, and sold without
commission. Notwithstanding the jad
has been condemned b the Circuit
court, and the members of the County
court were bound under the law to act,
the people of the county, or, at least,
a great many of them arc inclined to
grumble and complain, and abuse the
members of the County court. But
few, if any, of these fault-finders have
probably ever visited the county jail,
nnd we do not wish them such an un
pleasant visit; aud, in order that they
may be informed in regard to it, with
out the pain of such an undesircd visit,
we will give them a short description
of this "black hole" in which are con
fined thoe miserable unfortunates who
are accused of committing crimes and
misdemeanors of various grades: The
jail w a two-story brick building, about
thirty feet square. The lower story is
divided into two rooms and a hall, and
is occupied by thcjailor and bis family.
The upper floor is for the incarceration
of prisoners, and is divided into three
parts a hall running across the build
ing, and two rooms at right angles to it,
twenty by fifteen feet long. You reach
tire jail floor by a stairway about ten
feet high, and, raising a trap door, you
find yourself in the hall, lighted and
ventilated by a small iron grated win
dow, almost covered by boards which
arc nailed across it. To the right is
the door leading to the "light room,"
which is a room having two grated
windows, and has some light and air,
but too insecure to keep men in.
They can escape by simply removing
cnousrh brick from the wall to
leave a hole large enough to crawl
through. The hall is also insecure m
tlic light room. In this "light room1
a woman is now confined. To the left
n door leads from the hall into the
"dungeon,"!!! which the men are kept,
and truly a dungeon it is. It is twenty
feet long and fifteen feet wide, and the
only opening by which light and air
can gain admittance is through a grat
ed window in the partition wall be
tween the "light room" and the "dun
gcon.from the window in the outer
wall of the "light room" and a hole in
the door nine inches square. The room
is too dark to sec in, and the air is so
impure and ladeticd with stench that
no animal, except a man could live in
it. They do not live in it, they simply
have not as vet died in it. In this room
are five poor misguided unfortunates
four of whom are chained to the floor;
one of them has been confined iu there
for nearly a year upon the charge of
Scaling three coon skins. For this
cliarge this poor, ignorant creature has,
for nearly a year, been living in this
vile hole, covered with vermin, and
h.ut out from the light of day, attend
ing to the calls of nature in this narrow
compartment, and always breathing its
cflluvia. Sweltering in the summer
and freezing iu the winter, for there
are- no means of warming the room.
You can stay iu this dungeon but a
few minutes, when 3-011 are too glad to
recoil from so painful a sight, and
again see the light of heaven, and get
a breath of pure air. This is no
imaginary i-ketcli, but as true a pen
portrait of this blot uimn our civiliza
tion as we know how to draw.
We hope all those who are complain
ing at the County court will have a
chance to read this article, and if they
are not then satisfied, and want to
i-till complain, all they have to do is to
commit some unlawful act and get com
mitted and "se liow it is yourself."
Aside from the action of the Circuit
mart, the County court had no right
to flint their eyes and not examine in
to this institution, and allow human
beings to be treated in such a way. A
man incarcerated in jail, i only charg
ed with the oftVn-e, and stand, or
should stand before the world as :m
innoe:it man until convicted. He
Jiny he innm-Pnt. and v.v know that
J many innocent men have been aeeus-
( 1 IT'-i-s finr im -i riirlif lniriilK- in-
morally to shut Mich a one out from
the light cause him to breathe a foul,
poisonous air, and by rca.-on of the in
security of the jail, to force the jailer
to chain him down like a dog, allowing
him no excrci-e, to suflbcuto him in
Minimer and freeze him in winter?
Think of it, and imagine yourself to
be so unfortunate as to be accused and
incarcerated, and then ak yourself if
it is not a shame and a stain upon our
civilization to defer longer the work of
building a new jail.
"We believe our jailor to be kind and
humane to his prisoners, and doing the
best he can for their welfare and com
fort, but he can not remedy the cruelty
by hi action.
A jail should have plenty of air and
light and room enough for the prison
ers to take sufficient exercise. It
should have wash basins and water
clo-ets; it should keep its inmates se
cure from escape, and protect the jailer
from their violence while attending to
their wants; it should be capable of
being kept warm in winter and well
ventilated in summer. Such ajail our
county should have and that too with'
out delay. This matter ha been nc-
glected too longalready. The County
court appointed a committee consisting
of Judge W. F. Gregory, John Mid
kiff, Judge A. Ji. Baird, Captain Sam.
K. Cox and YV. C. Chapman to re

hope that no member or officer of the
County court will be deterred from
pushing tlie'work through by reason of
the malconteiiLs that arc raising such a
howl at the expenditure of a little
money. AVc think the court erred in
ordering bonds issued. The sum
ought to have been raised at once by
direct taxation, and saved as much in
tercst, fees, commissions, &c, as pos
sible. We understand, however, that
about ten thousand dollarsof the court
house bonds fall due in 1876, and pro
bably that is as much as we can pay in
one year, and meet the current ex
penses of the count' besides; but, if we
can pay ten thousand dollars court
house debt next year, we can pay tc;
thousand dollars jail debt the year fill-
lowing, and, as the the $10,000 court
house debt falling due next year i the
last of that debt, no jail bond ought to
run longer than the 1st day of October,
1877. We warn the County court,
and all those concerned now, that if
they make an unnecessary expenditure
in the matter, they will be held to
strict account by the people of the
county. We think a new jail an ac
tual necessity, and do not believe the
old one could be repaired or remodeled
as some contend; and, if it was so
changed, it could not bo done so as to
meet the present wants with a lass cx
penditnrc than it will take to build a
new one. Anything that is worth do
ing, and has to be done, is worth doing
well, and we hope that the commission
ers will spend our money so as to give
us value received in a good, safe, hu
mane jail, that will le a credit to all
concerned, and that the money will be
so expended that there will be 110 un
necessary commissions, discounts or
drippings. We have confidence in
them, and believe it will all work out
njht.
We have written more fully of this
matter than we intended, but it is due
the County court. We thought the
people of the county ought to be fully
advised about it, so as to allay all un
necessary complaint.
LETTEK FUO.II AX EUY1TIAX.
Frii:.- Mhiikmit: The suddei
transition from the banks of our beau
tiful Nile, to the muddy waters of the
Ohio in North America, was so sud
den, that I can scarcely believe my
sense.-. But after looking around at
thestrange sights, the strange manners
and customs of this strange people, I
am forcibly reminded that everything
is too true to be a dream.
According to the promise given you
before leaving our delightful Egypt
for this land of snows and storms, I
will first give you sonic idea of the way
things arc managed in this heathen
country, and secondly, I will try to
inform you of the peculiarities of the
heathen.
The State I am located in at pres
ent is named Kentucky, the inhabi
tants of which are subject to a host of
officers, appointed by the General
Government, and by the Governor of
the State, while some are elected by the
people thcm-elves, who imagine this is
one of the most sacred gifts given to
man, this freedom of electing their own
tyrants, never thinking that this verv
freedom must, in the end, become the
means of demoralizing society to its
very foundation. In fact, its demoral
izing effi'eLs are beginning to bo felt al
ready, for no election ever passes but
, one or other of the parties are accused
of the crime of bribery. This thing I
am informed, is getting quite common,
siiuv th negroes, that were formerly.
.1 ... ... . .
freemen, and have been allowed the
privilege of the ballot-box, on an equal
footing with their former masters.
Being very ignorant, and not un
derstanding the trickery of the aspi
rants for office, those negroes are very
easily duped and bought, by the un
prineipaled politician, who appears to
be a natural product of this free(! )
American soil.
The newspapers, too, play an impor
tant part in managing the affairs of the
community at large. With the politi
cal science of the country, they have all
in all to do; being divided into two dis
tinct parties, named respectively Ilad
icalsand Democrats they hold the
jKiwer pretty well balanced battresn
them. Even the internal affairs of the
people are managed by those same
newspapers. Advice as to agriculture,
stock raising, how to be born, and how
to many, and how to die, is given in
every number of those monitors of mo
rality. Every little town and village
has its corrcsiondcnt also, who imagines
that his duty consists in writing up per
sonalities concerning the community
with which he associate?. If Miss so
and so visits a friend, it Is duly chron
icled, and appears in the next issue of
the county newspaper. If this same
Miss happens to have a slight head
ache, that same is recorded also, and
even if that Miss would go to well,
any where, the scribbling wretch, who
dads in personalities, would think it a
duty to have it published in next
week's paper. Tim offense, which
would be punished in ourcountryby the
mild infliction of the "bastinado," is
perpetrated here with impunity, and
those of" Romeo PinksUifiY' arc consid
ered by all, but the injured person, as
wits of the first magnitude.
Besides th-j secular, they have their
religious newspapers also, of which I
will speak slitrhtlv in ray next. Until
then, may your shadow grow no lass.

Editor Hbrvi.d: Outside of (he con
linual wrangling over the Mayoralty can
va;s, there is little to disturb the quiet of
the city.
The favored one, who arc now on the
topmost part of the wheel of prosperity
are looking forward with pleasure in an
ticipation of the winter's gayeties, while
the lees favored are considering the ques
tion, hov to live through the winter with
out Buffering from cold and hunger. "God
help the rich, the poor can beg,1' and
many of them do begin vain for a mere
pittance, while hundreds are spent in di.s
sipation.
If the winter proves severe there will
undoubtedly be great suffering in Louis
ville. Fuel is cheap, thanks to the Pa-
ducah road and that will ease the bur
den of many a poor man. Coal is now
selling for eleven cents, delivered; as clieai
as you can buy it in your own town of
Hartford.
I have had many letters from old friends
and neighbors, asking about the chances
for employment in the citv. To all such
I would like to give this little bit of ad
vice; stay away. Therein something fas
cinating about the city that entices the
unsophisticated, like the light ot the can
die attracts the lly, and with like resiilis.
While it is true that the wugcsof mechan
ics arc often higher than in the country
their expenses are proportionately greater,
aud t'e wages of ordinary laborers are
not so good, all things considered, as arc
generally paid to good farm hands. Take
the employees of the Louisville Transfer
Co., for instance, they get forty dollars per
month, whicti after deducting board,
washing and numerous other little expert
scs, leaves them perhaps twelve dollars,
for working about (sixteen hours a day for
thirty or thirty-one days, as Lite case
may be, in all kimli of weather, liail
road employees are about the same, aud
all labor under several task masters. Tht
same might be said of all classes ot labor
era in the city.
It is a good place to spend money, to
dissipate and become demoralized gener
ally, but if you want to live happily, stay
in the country, where your wants are few
and easily supplied, where neighbors are
neighbors indeed, and if you don't tee so
much of the glitter and glare of wealth
and fashion as you do iu the city, your
mind and morals are all the better.
have lived in the country, got fifty dollars
a month, and lived better, was better sat
isfied, and I know 1 was better oil" moral
ly, physically and financially, than 1 am
in the city with a hundred per month.
Take this advice young men, from one who
has tried both, and stay in the countrv,
till the soil, be independent and happy.
The seed of discontent is often sown in the
minds of young men when they are sent
from their country homes to the city
schools, where their parents fondly hope
they will acquire an education superior to
that to be had in theirown community, a
hope that I firmly believe is seldom real
ized, as the young men who are schooled
in the countrv where eood teachers are
employed, are better fitted for u-cfulticss
than tbose who have been sent away to
the city, where they meet with tempta
tions, are led astray, and seeds of dis.-ipi-tion
are sown, which too often out-grow
and choke-down that little molality nnd
virtue they have left. Think of this, pa
rents, when you send your children aav
me slaves ot the whites, have become

your kindly admonitions to guide tltum,
are not under your control, an. I perhap-
never will be again.
I have wrilten mire than I intended ,
but this U a subject in which I feel a deep
interest, anil when I see young men. the
lower of the country flocking to the city
where their lives are often wasted, I feel
like uttering a note of warning, feeble
though it be, trusting that it may be heed
ed by such as contemplate coming to the
city to make fortunes and live a lite ol
ease.
I wrote you last week that the Mayor
alty muddle was getting tUt, tint judging
from the cannonading lastSaturJay night,
and the eloquent appeals from patriotic
fuglemen, I guess I was mistaken. The
fight at present is about as follo.vs:
Jacob's party charge that Baxter, while
Mayor, forced the Air Line road to pay
him a handsome price for a piece of
property that was not doing him any good
just then, while the Baxter faction charges
that Jacob tried to bribe a member of
the city council to vote for his favorite for
president of the hoard. These are the lead
ing charges, with numerous little mean
nesses, in fact enough to condemn any
man if he wasn't a candidate. The
charges are, perhaps, all oftiicin except
the attempted bribery, true, but this one
seems a little thin. The fact that the at
tempt was a failure, leaves a sort of vague
impression in the minds of many, thai
there is perhaps some mistake about it
after all. The etory don't harmonize, so
to speak. Citovkk.

Nothing of importance has occurred
in our little town since our last letter.
Wc have been blessed with beautiful,
healthy weather, and the cry for quin
ine has somewhat subsided.
The fair is the talk of the day,
which will doubtless be well attended,
part, ifnotallthe week; most likely,
however, Friday will be the day.
Some fears are entertained that the
horses will be visited by the "epizo
otic" again this winter, but as yet 110
cases have been reported.
Mr. Robert Hincs brought to town
the other day, a rattlesnake ho had
killed, that measured seven feet in
length and fourteen inches around the
body.
Taylor it Porter shipped two car
loads of fine cattle last Saturday.
Barnes & Taylor shipped seven cars
of staves.
We had last week in the way of
amusements, Prof. McGaughy'a Vari
eties, which were interesting and well
attended.
The reason we have not written
since the Taylor reunion is, we loaned
your correspondent, "It" our diction
at', and couldn't spell without it, wish
he would bring it home.
The coal mines arc all iu full blast
additional miners are lining employed,

Editor Uickai.d: tt is a time-honored
custom with newspaper correspondents to
give a description of the town in whicl
they are located; and your correspondent
at this place thinks that he can not make
a better beginning than by adhering to
the existing custom. Then for a brief de
scription of Olennville, which is pleas
antly situated on the Owcnsboro and Cal
boon road, aud about six miles from the
town of C.tllioon. Olennville, though not
tlio largest, is by no means the least that
bears the name of town, and, as regards
business, it rivals many, with more showy
buildings. To be convinced of this fact,
it is only necessary to listen to the cea9
less ringing of hammers and saws in the
shops belonging to Mr. J. II. Jackson
and IV F. Collins. But there is better
proof still in the way of wagons, plows,
aud other farming implements, which in
beauty and utility defy competition.
Joseph Troutman. late successor to 0,
T. Aver, keeps a fine assortment of dry-.
goods and groceries at this place; but,
friend Joe, you nre too liberal with your
gab when the ladies come to trade. Win
not the fair ones with cheap bargains, for
you rival us enough with your pleasant
smile and good looks.
Dr. E. A. Iickland, with his humor
ous voice, is in our midst, healing tlie sick
with powders ami pit's when his presence
alone fails. lint, doctor, we have a little
shake occasionally in spite of your med
icine and skill.
The ministry is nlso represented here.

now, lion ever, that your readers will be
a little, surprise.) when they learn that
there is a house not far from here with
nix Stories to it. I mean Frank, Ujbcrt
and the rest.
In conclusion I must add that our town
is unexcelled for pretty girls. And now
it is to tell why lite town is sometimes
called bong Falls. The young men fall
in love with girls of the town, nnd so
great is the effect, so completely arc their
heads and hearts bewildered that they
think they have had a lonj full.
