Keitor Courier— Frow the read irg of the general presentments of cur last gr*nd jnjy one would say that lurkdalo is to build anew or another jail. I oppose the erection <f a jail, at this time, and I am aat i>find that a majority of the jury did not think it advisable, hut ouly yield ed to get tid of the question an it wan urged before them by ita friends for many day*. Hut if we build a jail let it be a jail in fact We doat want any more Roasting Hell 1 The ery of thoae prisoners and their blue and blackened flam* a are yev fresh iu every memory, and the aahes yet atand aa a monument of a grand mistake, Bat if it is built let it be a prison within the intent of the law. the object of which in to deprive of libery, not to torture. What will this tost the tax payers of this coun ty ? Every man can make aoalca Jrtion. For one I will sv not less than th rty-five hundred dollars, and low at tLat. Men why never com mit crime will have to be taxed to foot the bill, We have at this time about $364 in the trea->urv, and our j y unpaid, and we wi’l further state that it coat about $2,000 annu ally to run oar Sup rior Court alone Ik sides the paupers, bridges etc. I am informed that our jury fees alone ♦or the vear 1877 amounted to $1 7CO Now ia it a neoei>sity to tx > our peopla $3 500 above our annual tax to I uild a jail, just ro let it be said we have a jail. Lot us see tie inti rest oi> $3,500 at 7 per cent enoualy is $245. Now if we are correctly iu for toed our jail fees arc the same in Covington that they arc in Conyera and the only additional expense that we are at is traveling to and from Covington and guarding the prisoners while waiting for trial. Our jail, so called, was burned about e ght mouths ago, and since that time me have not paid out exceeding sis tor traveling and not < ver the same amcuot for guarding pi borers while goii gto aud fro aid while waiting ♦or tiittl.
