Having now pointed out all the errors of fact
which the Times has fallen into, we leave the
editors errors of judgment to take care OF
themselves. As we remarked at the outset, we
are determined to hold no newspaper contro-
vcrsy in regard to the matter. Our only de-
sign in referring to it at all, was to correct er-
roncous impressions into which many men, who
should have been better informed, had fallen.
This accomplished, and we are done.

way, under present circumstances. to abatc the

Let her do this, and then by law abolish and
demolish the old shanty near the Court House,
now known as the Jail. If the county wishes
prison of this description, let the Commits
sioncrs build one outside the city limits, or
build decent and healthful one within .hc city,
or else join with the city in building prison
which will be adapted to the uses of both city
and county.
