THE Ono PENIrENTIARY-THE CASE OF
WATSON. The facts which appear in re.
gard 10 The Management, Of this institution
have caused much comment in The papers
Of the state. Ii appears generally that the
present Warden is unfit for the place, that
instead Of being the superior he is the tool
of WATSON, and This is seen Clearly in the
fact, that although The Legislature after a
full review of this alrocious conduct in the
case Of line negro convict Coker, requested
Watson to resign, he has not resigned, and
The Columbus papers soy tina, he will hold
on. By the SlaIe of Ohio tho Governor is
empowered TO appoin, three directors Of the
prison, who hold their office during Two years.
These directors appoints the Warden, and
the Warden appoints his deputies. The
Warden holds his Office for two years.
Previous 10 the adjournmen, Of the Legis-
alure, the Governor appointed new Board
Of Directors. These Directors have the
appointment. ol the Warden, and we ask that
they carry out The expressed will Of The Leg

lies with tne Warden we know 10 dismiss
