OUR New County JAI1-The Shep-
herdstown Resister-which exhibited
such remarkable zeal in calling attention
to and making Juror over the report
of committee on the county Jail to the
last term of the Circuit Court-in the
publication of the proceedings of the
County Court in its last Issue, by Gu
rious omission, fails tc say one word in
regard to the report of the committee
appointed by the latter body. This
Court, at its session last week, appoint
ed Messrs. J. c. Cockrell, John Il. Hen
kle and Meredith Helm, members of its
own body, a committee to examine the
condition of the Jail, &c, and in their
report we find the following clause:
"We are of the opinion that, as far as
the prison part of the Jail has gone, that
it is perfectly safe and secure. "
We wonder how this report will
strike the editor of the Register Ra-
Their explicit, we think.-Spirit.
nS~ Not so explicit" as the editor
of the Spirit would have its readers be-
lieve. We learn from member of the
Court that that committee of examina-
ton put in ''proviso" in their report,
stating that if the "windows in the hall
were made secure the Jail would be Sc
cure. The Spirit, in order to deceive
the taxpayers, left out that part of the
report from the committee. We also
learn that another appropriation of $500
was made by the Court, for the benefit
of the Jail, and if the Court continues
making appropriations we have no
doubt the Jail will be made secure after
a while, but it is death to the taxpayers
of the Comfy. The Jail is a great big
house, and cost great deal of money,
and after all is not sufficient to accom-
modate more than half dozen prisoners.
We have three prisoners here in the old
Jail who should have been removed to
the Charlestown jail, but there is no
room for them. Ifthe Jail at Charles
town would have been erected as it
ought to have been, it would have been
sufficient for all practical purposes, and
at much less expense to the County.
