We find the Auditor and Treasurer 5
books to be kept in an ineligible and
proper manner, as far as we can judge
from "a cursory examination.
We have examined the County Jail,
and fud confined therein five persons,
of which two are city prisoners, iucar-
cerated for violations OF city ordinances.
One a fugitive from the Oregon au-
thorities, and who has been here in
prison oUer moHth, awaiting a requi>
slliou from the Governor.
One, by name McGoran, sentenced to
tire Penitentiary for one year, whose
term expires the l6th of May next. We
Fave reason to believe, from our own
observation and from evidence before
US, that he is of unsound mind, and
that a more proper place for his coufne-
meut would be Lunatic Asylum.
The other, "Gholston," was commit
ted at this present term of Court.
We find the prisoners comfortable and
well treated.
1--WE deem the Jail insecure, and find,
under the existing condition of our Ter
ritory, having no Penitentiary building
within its limits, that the county Jail is
used for the confinement of prisoners
convicted of the highest crimes, and
condemned to the Penitentiary, as well
as for persons guilty Of no crime under
the lar, only awaiting trial, and that
all who may be confined therein ,wb ether
innocent individuals or felons 'of the
darkest dye, are compelled to associate
together there. We deem it an outrage
on civilization, and we recommend that
there be provisions made to proven t
longer this necessity.
We suggest there should be a certain
number of cells partitioned off from the
others for PenitentiaIy convicts and des>
perate characters, which should be se-
cured in the best possible manner, per~
haps lined with boiler iron, and so arr
ranged that those confined therein could
have no access to the rest of the Jail, or
be permitted TO have intercourse with
those confined for minor offences or no
offences at all, until such time that oth>
er and better provisions are made for
this class OF criminals.
We suggest the entire Jail yard should
be refined with boards on the inside, to
stop the many holes therein, and pres
vent communication from the outside.
Respectfully submitted.

MORE New GooDs.-We notice that
johnson & Rees are now daily receiving
new supplies of goods, and judging
from the crowd that may be daily seen
at their store, they are selling their
goods almost as rapidly as they receive
them. These gentlemen are already
building up good trade, aud bid fair
soon to become among the leading mer~
chants of the city. Gentlemanly aud
accommodating, they are sure to add
greatly to their already large circle Of
friends and patrons.
, 1869-10-09

CITY TRADE.-All branches of
business continue lively, and mer-
chants report brisk times and money
plenty. At Reese's and Jordan q
Co.'S the following trains and teams
have loaded since our issue of Thurs
day: Pardee & Sprague, so packs,
~hiskey aud general merchandise,

Idaho and Montana are unanimous in
commending MIR. P. ao an artist and
gentleman, and we have no doubt our
people have treat in store for them.

AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-The new Ag,
ricultural Society met at the Court
House, on Saturday last, and completed
its organization. The constitution and
bylaws were finally adopted, and the
third day of the annual fairs fixed upon
as the time for the regular meetings of
the stock holders. After the adjourn
ment of the Society, the Directors held
a meeting and agreed to take immedi-
ate measures to secure a portion of
the Military Reserve, to be used for the
purpose of the Annual Fairs. The Sec
retary was also instructed to procure
the necessary stock book, and at once
issue stock certificates. The Directors
adjourned to meet on the first Monday
in November, 1869.

GRAND DEMcNsTRATION.-The reader 5
attention is directed to Mr.. II. Parker's
series of advertisements to be found in
this weeks issue. Mr. P. has just en-
tered upon a general campaign against
high prices and all the evils to which
the community has been subject, and
intends to reform them all. Possessed
of unyielding determination and au
energy that never tires, Mr.. P. is bound
to succeed, and carry out all his en-
gagements with the puolic. The con-
test undoubtedly will be warm, but
Parker is sure to come out crowned
with victory.

The LITTLE SHYLoCKs are said to be
greatly offended at our remarks in re-
,atiou to the establishment of legit-
innate banking institution il our midst.
These fellows have grown rich off their
three and five per cent. a month, and
are indignant that anybody should come
between them and their "pound of
flesh" "Let the CALLED jades vince"

THE MURDER CAsE.-The continuation
of the case of John Gholson, charged
with murder, involves the confinement
of the accused in the county Jail for the
next six months. The prisoner stands
indicted for murder in the first degree,
and under our statutes this is not a
bailable offence. Gholson is now cons
fined in Jail, and is likely to remain
there until set at liberty by the action
of petit jury.

To the Hon. Grand Jury, October Term,
1859:
GENTLEMEN: The foregoing exhibits the
amount OF outstanding warrants October L,

to the limited time ut my comm and have

$50, 6,736l9; of this amount 81 25l .04 has
been set apart tor the County Fund, and

payment of the public debt.
Under the present system of monthly
settlements and monthly applications of
cash on hand to payment of warrants, the
debt is being rapidly reduced, md will un-
der proper system of economy and coop

RRCOHNISSIONED.

THE President last night sent to the Senate the
name Of General Henry H. Bingham to be re-
commissioned Postmaster Of Philadelphia for
four years from the date of confirmation. This
is graceful and deserved compliment to most
faithful public officer. 1t is the only case in
which the new administration has recommis-
stoned for full term an officer of the late
administration. General Bingham well merits
the compliment. He has been not only stern
Republican, and is gentleman, but he Is pro-
badly the best postmaster Philadelphia has ever
had. He has touched our dead postal system,
and it has become alive. His removal would
have caused universal regret, and his recommis-
sion has cnnaed uniYersal satisfaction.

THE CITY BURyTNg CROWDS

SEVERAL carefully-prepared articles have ap-
peared lately In the columns Of some Of our con-
temporaries, calling the attention of the Legls-
lature to the various Inconvenience attending
interments within the city limits, and which APP
pearcd to be designed to pave tho way for n
grand raid on the ntramural burying grounds
by the gentlemen who manufacture laws and
conducts general jobbing business at Harrisburg.
The question OF nbolishing the burial of the
dead within the limits Of the built-up portions
OF the city Ia perhaps Of sufficient Importance
to warrant Il discussion at least but we do not
believe that the health of the city or any other
consideration of public welfare demands imme-
diate action on the part Of the Legislature.
The fact that many Of our Legislators who
have made themselves unpleasantly prominent
during the present session by their advocacy of
all manner of nelarious schemes are interested
In the various cemeteries in the vicinity Of Phi
hdclphia, Is sufficient to throw suspicion on any
scheme to abolish the city buryng grounds Mt the
present time. Senator George Connell, for in
stance, IL known to have large interest in
Mount Moriah Cemetery, and consequently, If
the question of forbidding further intcrments
within the city limits proper should come up in
the Legislature Senator Conncll would scarcely
be able to vote upon it with that perfect Impair
this kind.
Our Legislators are already exposed to too many
temptations, which, owing to the manifold
frnilties of poor human nature, they are unable
to resist; and as IL is an important part of our
duty to guard the legislative morals, and keep
our representatives at Harrisburg as near as pos
sibe to the straight path of duty and strict in
tegrity, we deprecate any efforts to introduce
battle-ground bill at the present time Compa-
rativelyfew interments now made in the few old
time-houored burial grounds that still remain un-
polluted by the hand Of the spoiler, and there is
not the slightest evidence that the health of the
city has suffered from them. When such is
proved TO be the case, the subject of abolishing
intramural burials will receive the attention
which IL deserves; but we would much prefer
that Senator Connel and other cemetery propri-
etors should not have the responsibility of decid-
ing upon the necessity and judiciousness of such
a change imposed upon them.
