~The communication Of "Cas-
tus,'' in reference to the Jail, is good
one; but be is wrong in placing the
. credit of the plan Of the establish
ment on the shoulders Of "contrac-
tors" That humane and christian
like establishment, has been planned
aud constructed to suit the views, Of
the Police Jury commissioners, who
through mistaken ideas Of the arehi-
lecture Of prison building, have got
their notions ofseourity, very strangely
mixed in with cruelty. Parish Jails
are not now, Gf they ever were) des-
igned to be inqaisatorial dungeons !;
and we can see nothing in the modern
statistics Of crime III, East Baton
Rouge, to demand a "barbarous box
like the new Jail. We would will
lipgly publish "Castus," or any one,
breathing the same spirit Of disinter-
= =
ested philanthropy; but we do not
wish to have the burden Of mistakes
in others, laid at our door. BY a
strange kind of fatality, it seems the
Comet Is always wrong. Perhaps
this is owing to the fact that we strug-
gle daily to be right, against the cur
rent of events, as well as with it, and
ask the world no odds. TIA newspa-
per must fall in with its whining kind
of approval Of every thing, that is
officially done for the State, Parish, or
eat-mile-and-a-half square Corpora
ton, where is the utility Of the news
paper Its occupation is gone-from
a medium Of intelligence it drivels
into fawning syeophant, and is Of
no value to the great mass Of the peo.
pie, whose substantial good sense il
should endeavor to reflect. What is
a paid paper to party! A dog bark
ing in his kenna, for the meat his
master throws him, and nothing more.
II we must say that every thing is
good because it has tile sanction Of
power and authority, it is useless
waste oftime, (if not talents) for the
newspaper editor, to soil virgin fools
cap with his thoughts.
"Castus' though caustic in his ar
ticle about the Jail, is corect---that he
does not lay the blame Of the con-
truction of the ''barbarous box" at the
right door, is the only reason for not
publishing his well written article.

writing in haste, against the inclina-
ton, without opportunity for rehec-
tion, or chance to get Information
1t means dressing for ball in the

for all colors; answering questions in
science from memory. and questions
Of fact from Imagination. 1t means
attempting the impossible, aud max

Worse than worse than all, it
