TaE County JAIL-The Gazette yea
terday morning contained another untruthfol
article regar ding the County Jail and the late
Jailor. Mr. Graham. We have never been in
side the jail. but We take the word of reliable
persons. and accepting their assertions - truth,
vs cay that both the articles which have %.
pssrsd in the Gazette regarding this matter.
contain many and glaring falsshooda The
particular prisoners which have 90 worked up
the sympathy Of the Gazette editors, are two
crazy women, who. for seme time past, have
been under the charge Of M. Graham. One
OF these women is raving maniac, over whom
no living person esn have any control She
would not suffer any clothing TO remain upon
her person. although Mr.. Graham has repeat.
edly endsavorsd to have her do 20. In less
than su hour sftsr she was dressed, che would
tear her clothing into shrsda This woman
has never been allowed to inhabit one cell for
two months at . time. although the Gazetts
says she has remained in the same dungeon for
five months without change In Mr. Grshsm's
attempts to change her apparel and cell she has
bit him 90 severely and often that his right
arm las withsred. This woman should not be
allowed to remain in the County Jail for .
sngle day, but should be placed in charge Of
some competent person who could devote their
entire time and attention to her Before she
was placed under Mr.. Grahams charge she cost
the County over seven dollars per week. Mr..
G. received only two dollars and fifty cents for
performing the same service The other vo-
man has besn furnished comfortable bedding
at Mr.. Graham's own expense. but che refused
to occupyit.
The other prisoners who have been under
NJ. G.'s charge are oil loud in their praise of
his treatment to them, and come of them would
actually rather remain in the Jail than to leave
it, although the time of their imprisonment
had expired. OF the truth Of this assertion
We would refer to several respectable citizens
Of Davenport, as we'll % certain prominent Of
ticials who have boarded with Mr. G. at differ
ent times.
We understand by the Gasstte that Mr. Ora.
ham has furnished them with communication
which they have promised to publish this
morning.

CORRECT The Davenport Democrat
and News in an article on union throws in
the following matter of fact that is weigh
ing pretty heavy just now on that class of
men who disagree with Mr.. Douglas on the
question of Territorial authority. The
Ne,cs was not Douglas paper, but regard
ing the nomination as binding on all who
claim to be Democrats it goes nobly into
the work Of whipping the foes Of Order,
Union and Constitutional safeguards:
There is no possible way to wipe out one
fact, that STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS is the regu-
Tar nominee of the Democratic party of the
United States. AS the regular nominee of
the party, he is entitled to and should re-
ceiv, its individual support. Let the Brock
inridge wing talk as much as they please,
the people of the Northern States are not
prepared at this time to accept that gentle
man as the regular Democratic Candidate
for the Presidency, and it will take much
stronger argument than they have yet pre-
sen ted, to induce them to believe he is any
thing elsa than a Candidate Of Boilers
Convention.

MCGREGoR, july 10th. 1860.

Editor Of NJ l. 7Imes-Knowing that
you have deep interest in the prosperity
of our bluff grit little city, we are induced
to suggest some improvements which are
absolutely indispensable to the prosperity of
our town. 1t must be conceded that the
prosperity of all classes of citizens, mer-
chants, dealers, hotel keepers, artizans and
laborers, and indirectly professional men,
identified with the grain traffic that centers
ut this point-receiving, as we will, Gf pro-
per facilities are offered for handling) the
surplus products of twelve or fourteen
counties of Northern Iowa and Southern
Minnesota. with the most magnificent har-
vest, nearly ready for the sickle, ever
known in the North West-while the in
dications of late harvest and short crop
in Great Britain, and on the continent of
Europe, will probably cause a large export
demand at remunerative prices.
The rush on the market here will be I'M
precedented, and probably much beyond
our most sanguine calculations.
The warehouses that must necessarily
handle the greater portion of this grain,
are situated on the bluff fronting the Mis-
sissippi river and north of Main street,
with public road laid along above them,
that two wagons standing abreast nearly
barricade it, preventing ingress or egress
from many of the ware ouses-yet our
CITY authorities have expended little or
none of the road tax where it is so impera-
lively needed.
Last Fall, a portion of the grain trade
was lost to this town, owing to the want of
room on that great '..tarnaers MorOughtare"
- 10, hn,, Of thaY
ing, 1--WE will so to Clayton, Gutenberg or
Lansing, rather than be detained here for
hours to get unloaded, with the probable
expense of staying an extra night from
home) even if we have to sell our grain at
q less price"
Let all the available road tax then be i'm
mediately appropriated on this important
road. And. as it is every mans interest,
let the citizens subscribe literally, and
make the road such as it should be to &C
commodate the growing grain trade of our
town.
We hope, then, that neither the city au-
thorities nor the citizens will now turn re-
creant to themselves, to their own best
rights and interests, and neglect this matter
so very essential to the prosperity of our
town.
MANY CITIZENS.
The undersigned approve of the above
suggestions, and request the publication of
the above communication in the TINES,
with such editorial remarks as the import
ant subject requires.
