The Report of the Grand jury OF the
Condition of the County Jail.

To the Hon. Court Of Common Pleas Of
Trumbull Co. The Grand Jury, whose duty
it is to examine tho County Jail, have attend
ed to that duty, and find said Jail to be entire
ly unfit to keep the unfortunat- who have to be
incareerated therein. The rooms for crimi-
mails are so low that it is impossible to cleanse
and purify them, as to keep them in a proper
condition for the reception of criminals. The
plan of the cells is such that they must una
voidably be unhealthy; The ventilation is also
bad; and past experience has proved it to be
unsafe. Although the present jailor, W. Yves
ton, has kept said Jail in as clean a condition
as the circumstance will admit-yet it is in
our opinion a complete Nuisance, and a disgrace
to the voters of Trumbull County. Therefore
we, the members of the Grand Jury, would re
commend that the Commissioners of Trumbull
County, cause to be made a complete and full
specification of such q Jail as they deem neces-
sary. and that they ascertain the expense of
such a building; and have such specification
and cost, published in our County papers as
soon as convenient. All of whieh Is respectful
ly submitted March Sth. 1860.

EDS. Cara Crit do no. suppose that
there will be any legislation on the subject
OF Free Banks. Banks are not very popular
here just now. consequently members who
are nos nAed up in any way with the Banks
are shy in making the law with regard to
81 ock Banks any less stringent than it is
now and those who IRE connected with the
State Bank appear to feel that they have
monopoly that must not be 10 any way inter.
fered with. There ia quite disposition
amongst the members to pass some laws re-
curing the State Banks to have more rigid
respec, for their charter and the laws of the
State.
There are several propositions for relief
measures before the Legislature, none OF
which will probably pass-nor hut that q
large majority OF the members are in favor

Of the members who profess TO be in favor
Of relief only make such professions that
they may deceive the true friends OF relief
and thereby defeat the passage Of any bill
for that object.

The Slaveryites in our Legislature think
they have found great political placer in
the Governors Inaugural, and are inclined
TO york il industrioasy unit ii 10 exhausted.
But never were q lot Of men more cgregious-
ly mistaken than the Democracy in faneyinp
that they have found the staple for effective
campaigning in that document. Ii was re-
celyed ut the time, b. oil the people, as well
enough, and by some as eminently proper. -
In respect Of those points about which the
Democratic Legislators make such ado, no
body among the people is criticlsing it, no
body even discussing is; and the idea that
they can be made to feel any material de-
gree OF concern about it, or that a fight can
be made over it among the people, is the
most utter and rreposterous folly. But
drive ahead, gentlemen; we wouldn't snap
our finger TO binder yoir 1erations 10 that
direction. The people, however, have an
eye to the amount Of time you consume over
the subject, for il takes considerable GUAM

The actual views of Gov. Chase on tn.
Tariff are very much misunderstood. The
following extract from late letter OF his
gives bis position, definitely; and il is csr-
tainly the position, not OF mere theorist,
but of sensible, practical man:
"Surely there should be no disagreement
between Republicans as to the Tariff. What.
ever may be any mans theoretical views of
free trade we are all agreed that there ia no
prospect of the adoption OF the policy of
unrestricted commercial intercourses hv CIV
ilizsd nations during the Lifetime Of any OF
us and no one believe proposes the adop-
ton ofthat policy by the United States with.
out the concurrence OF other nations. Ger
talnly do not. | am practical man, and
wish TO take 90 practical views Of this tariff
question, 10 OF every other, avoiding ultra
ism in every direction. know that we have
always had tariff. know that we never
had . horizontal tariff, unless the Compro~
mise act of 1888 may be called such.
know that for long time to come and per-
haps as long az our Union shall endure we
shall have tariff. Now these things being
so, am clearly of opinion that tariff laws,
like oil other laws, should BIZ framed so as
TO do as much good, and as little harm az
possible; and | am, therefore, in favor Of
such Determinations as will best secure and
promote the interests OF labor--of our own
labor and the general well being Of our peo-
pic. No man, in my judgment, deserves the
name OF an American Statesman who would
not 50 shape American legislation and adj
as to protect American indus
try and gnard imparsially oil American rights
and interests
