From the Capital City Fact, independently Juty24
EN and Ont of the PeuifeMtiary,


It's no agreeable task we enter upon, but as
nobody else seems disposed to perform the du-
ty, it may as we'll devove upon us. We have
no personal pique or political object to crafty
or gain, but as matters connected with the in
! vestigation interest tho public mind just now,
the time IS prorituous to look in upon the PEN
tentiary history for year or two. In doirg
so wc shall avoid circumlocution as much as
possible, and group togethera few facts, rather
than amuse the reader by rhetorical fourishes.
By recurring to the statutes Of 1856 page
131, it will be seen that by the 18th section oi
the law providing for the appointment ofoficers
of the Ohio Penitentiary &C., that "all contracts
for provisions, clothing, medicines. forage, fuel,
bnldiug or repairs, where the amount shall ex
c,ed two hundred dollars shall be given to the
lowest bidder" and that there is a specific pro.
vision in this section that mo contract shall be
given or purchase shah Be mode aoterein either ct

Stone and L. g. Van Slyke as two Directors Of
the Penitentiary, and they were confirmed A.
pril 6, 1855, by the Senate. They. took the
usual oath of Office. we presume, TO support
the Constitution and laws Of the State; and yet
in glancipg ever the detailed statement BY the
Auditor Of State, Of the receipts and disbnrse-
mcnts of the treasury for the years 1861,
we find sundfy disbursements evidently in open
and direct violation Of law. From the time Of
their confirmation as Directors, with the law
before them, isincs proudly pointed to IS an cv.
