The Winsted Press has an article on our jail from which we make the following ex- tracts:
 The iail at Litchfeld was never 8 very we'll designed institution. It has IS cells, 4x6, for male prisoners; and no accom- modation for females or only such as a humane nature must revolt at. Should fire occur in the prison or in the keepers apartments connected with it, the female prisoners have not one chance in a hun dred for preservation; and the facilities for saving the male prisoners are none too good. But added to these considerations the seems too small by half-there being apartments for but 16 or. IT., while there is frequent demand for twice that number. Any one visiting the jail tonight will see most of the oells-precisely4 4 feet by-oc- cupied by two prisoners, the two asleep | on a single board about two feet wide-a | ing them the heels of one at the head of the other. ** We under stand that the committee find that the cells of the jail can be increased to 30, and some general improvements added, by an expenditure of about S10, 900; but even then the keepers apartments will be in a state of dllapidation, and additional out lays will yet be. necessary. The site of the present jail can be sold it is said for some $6, 900 or $8, 900, and the committee are quite undecided whether it is best to build anew, repair, or do nothing at all. Of whatever is done the town of Winchest- CT must pay one eighth of the expense, and perhaps those of our citizens who feel an interest in the taxing business had best see Representatives Bill and Clarke about lit, prior to next Tuesday.
 We imagine that 1t is Mr: Clarke, a member of the committee, who gives the information on which article is founded. We recommsncd it to the consideration l of the New Milford Ray. -ss- saF

To THE AFF1IcTED.-No matter under what form of sickness you labor, there is one great truth you should keep in mind: All disease originates in an impure condi- ton of the blood. Purify that, and the disease must depart; but you cannot pur- fly the blood by the use of poisonous drugs, ana exhaustive stimulants. The best Blood Purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walkers famous Vinegar Bitters, compounded of simple herbs. 444

hool tax not paid over by collectors,

Total amount of school tax
in hands of Collectors, $14, 969. 81
If this large sum of school money, which
is held by Collectors, whom the several
Democratic Boards Of County Commission
ers have appointed, had been paid over
promptly to the School Board, it would
have almost liquidated the debt. But in
place of this being done, the School Board
have been compelled to borrow money at a
rate of interest from nine to twelve per
cent. And thus the property owners were
paying interest at heavy rate, as it were,
the hands of Collectors. The sum in the
hands of Collectors was much larger till
within year past, when by an examina-
ton of the books in the County Commits
soners' office, the School Board discovered
that large sums of the school money had
been withheld by Collectors; and when this
discovery was likely to raise breeze, about
$1,000 of the embezzled funds were paid
over to the School Board. On this large
amount of tax withheld by the Collectors,
through the remissness of the County Com
missioners, the people paid, it is fair esti-
mate, nearly if not quite 5000 in inter-
est, for the School Board was compelled to
borrow at high rate of interest, to supply
this deficiency embezzled by the tax Collec-
tors, and the Board is now paying heavy
rate Of interest on SIS, 900 still in the hands
of Collectors.
We have corruption right at home which
needs looking after, and abuses that need
reforming, fully as much as any in Balti-
more. Let the people of this county take
this business in hand and elect Clayton,
Strickland and Kitchener, and our word
for it, these delinquent Collectors or their
bondsmen will have to fork over this county
money they have been using for years,
while the taxpayers are paying high in
terest on it. Here is one chapter of corrup-
tion which we want the tax payers Of Cecil
county to think about, and answer the ques-
ton as sensible, business men, if they don't
think they can make money by changing
their Board of County commissioners p
How many more similar discoveries might
be made by an investigation, time and a
change of Board will only determine.

EMBEZZLEMENT AT HOME.

That the State government, which has
boon administered in the name of the DEM
ocrat party for nine years, is corrupt beyond
precedent in the State, is admitted by every
honest, wellinformed man, be he member
of what party he may. This fact has been
so clearly proven, and from the Comptrol-
ler's reports as we'll as other sources, that
the attempt of the ring masters of the party
to deny it, amounts to nothing but mere
bravado in the face of such facts and figures
as are upanswerable and must be admitted.
That it was the custom of the lobby at
Annapolis, during the last session, whose
head quarters were in one of the commit
tee rooms of the Baltimore delegation, to
assess fifteen per cent on every appropria-
ton of a special nature, is SO notorious
that an effort is scarce made by the most
ultra of the ring members to deny it. That
the expenses for supernumeraries and a
multitude of officers, about the State House,
during the last session of the Legislature,
who had no employment except to draw
pay, was equal, if they did not exceed the
legitimate expenses of the session, is fact
as notorious as any authentic portion of the
history of the State. The evidence, in a
word, of the wholesale corruption of the
party in power, in their plunderings of the
treasures of Baltimore City and the State,
fill the papers daily and the evil has grown
so gigantic, that the honest men of the
Democrat party in Baltimore, have started
an independent movement to rescue the
city from the grasp of the robbers which
have plundered it SO long. These facts
have become familiar to our readers; but
let us not overlook the things at home,
while we contemplate the stupendous rob-
berries that have been perpetrated at the
State capital and in Baltimore City.

VOICE FROM WESTERN MARYLAND.
Mr.. Henry j. Johnson, of Allegany coun-
ty, addressed the Convention briefly upon
the resolutions. He said: Gentlemen,
we are deeply sensible of the Importance
of this occasion, and realize that the action
of this assemblage will be momentous in
its consequences. We are gathered here
from our several localities seeking the in
auguration of processes for the redemptio
of our State from misrule. AS is we'll
known, our views-aud We believe we fairly
represent our constituency-have been diff
ferent from those of large majority of
our colleagues in this body in regard to the
proper course to be pursued in this emer-
gency. Protracted and repeated consulta-
tons with parties cooperating with US have
demonstrated that the plan agreed upon
and to be reported by the Conference Com.
mittee to this Convention to-day embraces
the best plan to obtain what we all SO much
desire-the good of our Commonwealth
l have, therefore, to say for myself and
associates that whatever views we may
have held heretofore of difference as to the
course to be pursued, that they are now
sunken, and that we will be found shoulder
to shoulder with our friends in support of
the action of this Convention. l have
further to say that Allegany votes for the
endorsement of the ReiOfm ticket, and on
the adoption of the resolution reported,
votes aye"
