On Monday the sub-committee for this county, of the state board of char ities and corrections, made their offi cial visitations and report to and upon the public institutions of Buncombe county. This subcommittee consists of Rev. R. F. Campbell, chairman; H. N. Lockwood and T. W. Patton. With the consent of the committee, the Gazette is permitted to make such extracts from their report as it deems of public interest, the only stipulation being that special emphasis should be given to those portions that are com imedatory. We note that the commlt tee highly comends the jailer and the superintendent of the county home, which it gives the Gazette great pleas ure to echo. The purpose of the Gazette is entire ly in accord with that of the commit tee, "To criticise fairly and freely where fault lies, but with much more pleasure to commend' those faithful and efficient officers who deserve com mendation" The county home of Buncombe coun ty is reported to be in a most satisfac tory condition. This does not imply that it is all that can 'be desired, but. its management is as good as the exist ing conditions will permit us to expect. The location, near the city, Is a great advantage, affording publicity and easy oversight and at the same time economy in food and fuel. None of the inmates are able to work, and if they were they should not be county charges. We especially commend the superintendent, William' S. Johnson, and his wife for intelligent and faith- TsPBDoafioe If your liver is out of order, causing Biliousness, Sick Headache, Heart burn, or Constipation, take a dose of teffe PMis .On rstirirs urA tomorrow your di gestive O:: I.?

That part of the report which deals with the jail is as follows: REMARKS ON THE COMMON JAIL OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY. By comparing our former reports, in which the dimensions of this jail are given, with this m which it is shown given, with this in which it s shown that 92 persons are there in confine ment, a faint ideo of its condition can be had, but to fully appreciate its hor rors one must inspect it as we have just done. In one compartment of the steel clad cell, measuring 300 square feet of floor room, we find encaged 44 negro men and boys. Let it be remembered that a portion of this floor is taken up by the water closet, which must be almost continually in use; that another por tion is taken up by the interior parti tions, and it can be readily seen that it is impossible for the above number cf persons to lie down, unless some of them lie on top of others. The ceiling of this compartment is 6 feet 11 inches from the floor. In the same steel clad cell, immedi ately over that above referred to, and of the same dimensions are confined 24 white men, so that In this compartment of the building, which affords about 11,500 cubic feet of air, are now 'shut up night and day SIXTY-EK3HT human beings. The amount of fresh air required by the highest sanitary authorities, per capita, is 1,000 cubic feet, and that is to be frequently changed by free ventila tion, but here we find less than 200 cubic feet allowed to each, and the ven tillation by no means free. CAUSES OF THIS CONDITION. We will state what we deem to Te the apparent causes of the unfortunate conditions above mentioned, and then close our report with such recommend ations as seem best calculated to pre vent its continuance or recurrence. The present jail was built some 20 years ago, when the city of Asheville was perhaps one third its present size, and the county of Buncombe has in creased about" in the same proportion. At that time to the best of our recol lection there was no federal court rheld here, and the court or trial of crim inal issues met each three months. Thus the jail was speedily relieved of Hs occupants, who were only prison ers of this county, and. at times a few from adjacent counties, brought here for safe keeping. For these" purposes and requirements the jail was well de signed arid well constructed' Since its erection the population of city and county has increased three fold. The number of criminals has in creased in greater proportion, because this class of persons always seek the more properous places for plying their calling. The federal court holds Its sessions here bi-ennially, and at each session brings a large number of of fenders from all the counties of the district. Recently,, the criminal court of this county has .been done away with, and all of the criminal business thrown on the superior court; thus it is impossible to clear the jail as fre quently as it was formerly. We think these causes are all sufficient to ac count for the existing condition. PROPOSED REMEDIES. 1st. That until a larger building can be had the county commissioners shall refuse to receive any federal prisoners, and shall forbid the sheriff doing so. 2d. That the county commissioners shall at once erect a suitable buildintr for safe keeping any insane persons, as it may be necessary to imprison until they can be received In the state hos pital. We omitted to refer to this among the above causes. For months past there have been in our jail" from four to six insane people, who required for each a separate room, which would have sufficed for four well persons; thus the crowded condition of the oris on will to some extent be relieved, and the unfortunate insane more decently be provided for. We urge immediate action in this direction. 3d. That the criminal court of this county be re-established, and as many sessions of the same be provided for as the criminal business of the county demands. We think that these should not be less than four per annum, of two weeks each. j4th. We recommend the enactment of a law for this county, whereby the county commissioners shall, with the consent of the prisoner awaiting trial, work him. on the' pubMc works of the county, and in the event of his being acquitted, shall payiim a reasonable wage for the work he lias done, and in the event of his conviction his work may, at the discretion of the judge, be credited to his sentence. ' We are quite sure that many prisoners would prefer to work rather than be confined in Jail, and being Innocent in the eye of the law, they should have the privilege of doing so. Of course tMs arrangement could not apply to those accused "of capital or other serious offenses, but most of the occupants of the Jail are there on trivial charges. The report aJ?o deals wts the Mission Hospii&jr. the Lindey Training School, tb? Children's home ard one of the convict cairns. The account of the con ditHom of tre 'wrtnct caimir is a wel come contrast t,Jha't of the Jail. We will (tomorrow publish extracts from these portions, of the reports. SPREAD LIKE) WILDFIRE.
