President Harrison's messao

President Harrison's message,
whilst it may be good one in some
respects from Republican stand
point, is snoppish in its tone, and
plainly shows his great disappoint-
ment in not securinga reelection.
AS Representative John Allen, of
Mississippi, pointedly says sit is
motion for new trial, but will be
overruled."

The Jail inspected

x u.
Judge Faulkner having appointed
a committee to inspect the Jail, re-
ceived the following report;
To Hon. f. Boyd Faulk1ey.:
Having been appointedR committee to in
spect the Jefferson county jail, and having
performed hat duty, we beg leave to make the
following report:
The jail proper is a two-story brick building,
with corridor so feet inches long by o feet
inches wide and three cells. II feet 10 inches
by feet inches, on eacl, floor. The cells on
the.lrst floor are perfectly secured; those on
the second floor are not so. We find the sani-
tary condition of the jail good, but we believe
it could he improved by the addition OF a bath
room and the adoption of the dry eartl-cioset
instead of the cess-pool now in use. There il
every reason to believe that the jaiior has been
diligent in the performance of his duties dur
ing the last month. The facilities for heating
and ventilating the cell. are excellent, and the
prisoners are made comfortable

It Is somewhat remarkable that Mr.. Cleye-
land should have gone to Hog Island to escape
the squealiug of the pigs who want to get in
clover.-Ra'per's Ferry Sentinel.
The squealing of the pigs who
rant to get in" however, is not
near SO dreadful as the squeaIing of
the old swine who will have to gel
out of the clover, where they have
been rolling in fat--some of them
for, 10, there many years.

Now that Congress is in session
and much political interest is conferred
in the news from Washington City,
we call the attention of our readers
to the Daily Post of that city. This
excellent paper not only gives full
and interesting report of Congress
sional proceedings, but enjoys
special facilities for furnishing all
the news from the national capital,
which it does in a lavish manner, and
is independent and fearless in its
treatment of all political and public
questions. In word, The Post is a
first-class paper, and those who de-
sire good Washington daily will do
well to subscribe for it.

The communication in another
column in regard to a prospective
vacancy in the board of County Com
missioners is one that meets our
hearty approval. We share in the
regret that Col. Gibson has decided
to withdraw from the position, which
he has filled with so much ability,
and deem it scarcely necessary to
say that we unreservedly endorse the
gentleman suggested for his success
sor. Mr.. Colston is one of our best
known citizens, eminently equipped
for the position, and no appointment
could he made which would give
meor general satisfaction in Charles
