In regard to these protests against fur.
Their expenditures on the old Jail, the
Chronicle says: ..
II the Commissioners shall conclude
to put In the Iron cells, and we think
they will &c cannot materially affect The
question OF the removal OF the CounS
ty Seat, because these iron cells,
which are put inside OF the walls OF
the present jail and Independent OF
them, can be taken down and removed
at very small cost. In fact the reno.
val party ought TO be In favor OF The
Iron cells, for we very much mistake
the temper and character OF the people
OF this County II they will ever agree
10 vote on the question OF removal un-

buildings without cost 10 the tax-pRv.
ere, and In that event, the gentlemen
for whose benefit the removal 10 made
and who have to raise the money 10
pay the piper, will save the expense OF
buying these iron cells II they are now
put In. In any event, the demand
made by the GAINESVILLE Enterprise
that the putting In OF these cells ahall
be deferred until after the question OF
removal Ia settled, Ii q very unreason-
able one. That question has been aei-
tated for ten years, and ia no nearer
solution now than It was then.

annoyance for want of such measures.

for the purchase OF new material for his
paper. The Jail needs repair now, and
the removal Of the County Seat cannot
change that fact. Il Is not the duty OF
the Commissioners to determine the
question whether the County Seat 10 to
be removed or not. The County build

admitted by everybody, needs repair.

Improvement In the shape OF iron cells,
the people should ever decide In favor

and certainly much better than the
temporary.
Tho County Scat Question.
From The Chronicle. .ra|
II will be seen by reference to our ad-
verlising and local columns, that this
question Ia attracting some attention,
Two advertisements giving notice of
removal movements In favor of Kirk
wood and Belmont, and q Martins
Ferry communication opposing re-
moyal unless to that place, makes It
look "a II we were going to have a
lively time on that subject, We are
decidedly In favor OF Spartans' pro-
pOsal for the Northwest K, r., up little
MCMAhan's Greek, and thence piu
Wheeling Greek, Saltwater, Co., to In.
tersect the proposed road from Marlet-
to TO Urlchsville, and thence MA New
Philadelphia, Eo. 10 Toledo. There Ia
far more In that movement, TO build up
Bellaire, than would be worked out OF
q dozen County Seat movements, and
we would advise those who really feel
an Interest In tho growth Of that thirty.
Ing place TO agltate that subject: Bell
aires future is In Manufactures and
Machine shops. and these are built up
by local convenlences and Market IA
cilttles. One Railroad that opens up a
wide field for. the demand aud con-
sumption OF BellRire's iron, nails, glass,
worked lumber, &c., would be or far
more benefit 10 the town and add more
to Its real growth and prosperity than
tho acquisition OF O score or two or hum
CRY lawyers, and half.a.d dozen hungry
othoe'holders. We advise them to look
after this railroad.

himself willing to have his scale put 10
the severest test. He has made several
calculations for mill gearing, which
have proved correct. tsI
