out before they were fully well, and
the course of Sheriff Martin, in con-
nection with the smallpox patti ents is
an act that cannot be too loudly con-
demned. Two prisoners were attacked
with smallpox, and instead of giving
the stricken men medical aid, the
Sheriff cOOlly turned them out of doors,
and left them to take care of them
selves. The men, with this dread dis
ease fully developed upon them, found
their way to Wilmington, and
there is no telling what may be the
consequences of this rash act upon the
part of Sheriff Martin. 1t has been
but very short time since Whining
ton was scOurged by this disease, great
ly to her disadvantage in trade and in
tercOnrse with other cities; and the
seeds sown, when the Sheriff of the
county, in violation both of law and
humanity, sent forth these two infec-
ted prisoners, may result in an cpl
demic far worse than the one that CITY
has but just recovered from. The CITY
Council have since had house erected
to place these persons in until we'll but
in place that causes a great deal of
objection and the probability is that
the suggestion of DIR. Black, the Jail
physician to erect pest house in the
rear of the Jail yard will be acted on
