The Grand Jury made the following
report concerning the Jail: During our
session We have visited the county Jail,
and made a complete examination there
of and find the rules prescribed by the
court for the care thereof, and for the
government of its inmates, have been
carried out and properly enforced. so far
as practicable. We have examined the
report of the Board of Visitors made to-
your Honor on November l, 1888, and in
so far as it relates to the present man
agemeHt, arrangements and needed re-
forms, we concur therein. 1t is quite
certain that the present Jail does not af-
ford the facilitief for a proper classitica-
tion of the prisoners, and we would sag
gest that the time is drawing near when
the question of the location and build
ing of a new Jail and other public build
ings, should be decided upon by the peo-
pie of Belmont county. 1t is therefore
recommended that steps be taken to-
ward building a new Jail.

AFTER shooting down in cold blood
half dozen or more colOred men at
Danville, planting cannon in its streets,
and beating drums and parading armed
and uniformed men through the streets
of that and many other towns in such a
way as to thoroughly intimidate the
colnred people, the so-called Democrats
were enabled to carry Virginia, and
thereupon Democratic roosters in the
North set up great cackle.
This is the way Democratic majorities
are maintained in Virginia, North Car
ulino, South Carolina, Florida, Alaba-
m, Mississippi, and perhaps other South
ern States. In that way the votes OF all
those States were thrown with the cleo
toral college three years ago, to balance
like number of votes of Northern
States, where men vote without the re-
hottest fear or thought Of personal vio-
lence. The cannon and the musket
make solid South, and throughout the
most of the States south of the Potomac
and the Ohio rivers popular election
is as great farce as was one of those
elections held under the cannon and tht
bayonets of Louis Napoleon, during the
second empire. And yet Democratic
rooSters have the audacity to cackle in
the ears of the people OF Ohio over such
an achieyement-in State which gav5
so much blood and treasure to maintain
popular government throughout all thai
region, and to assert the rights of Man
against an AristOcracy.
The Southern Democrats boldly pro
claim that the colored man will not be
permitted to live among them and vote
The Republican ticket. They will moi
employ such men to work for them, and
! if that will not answer they will meet
them with the rifle and the pistol. This
is the declaration of their newspapers
and is in no way exaggerated.
What the answer of the North will
be to this new rebellion there Can be nc
manner of doubt. The elections of last
week are but foretaste of the response
to the murders of human beings and the
assassination of popular government by
the Southern Democracy. When the
war clouds were gathering in the winter
of 1860 81, the late DR.. Holland. then
connected with the Springfield Mass
Republican, and afterward connected
with the Century magazine, wrote 4
stirring poem, commencing
"God help the weak, when in the storm,
The pine snail beat against the palm"
Sc they found it then, and so the unre.
pentant rebels of to-day will find it when
they undertake by the murder of human
beings and the assassination of popular
| government to maintain ascendancy in
the late rebel States.

THE Mayor of Danville, a readjuster,
notified the Governor of Virginia that
the municipal authorities would pre-
serve the peace in that city, and would
see that there was no interference with
voters on election day, and requested
that no Troops be sent there. This,
three days before the election. On Sun
day, however, the Democrats of Rich
mond held meeting and passed bloody
resolutions, and on Monday the Cover
nor despatched a battery of artillery
and battalion of infantry to Danville
Cannon were planted in the streets, and
the streets patroed by Richmond sol
dlery. A. result fifteen hundred col
ored men, who had regis tered, aIread :
cowed by the bloody slaughter of six OF
eight of their fellows, were frightened
away from the polls.
the news that war of races was i'm
minent was telegraphed all over the
state, the whites armed themselves and
made show of fight, and as IA result col
ored men remained away from the polls
Under such circumstances the social.
ed Democrats carried Virginia, and it
is paraded as a great victory.
