d"or is such as to admit rats into the
vault, that have already been damaging
the papers, mere is no protection in
front of the fire places in several of the
rooms. If such a thing could be accom
plished we would recommend that a
beater be placed in the basement of the
courthouse, to heat the entire building.
Such an undertaking could only be de
termined by an expert in the beating
and ventilation oi large or public build
ings. "The grand jury inspected the county
iail and found the outside in a filthy and
muddy condition, caused partly by the
recent cold weather and the thaw fal
lowing, but the entire premises need
cleansing and there should be a walk,
out of rough material, constructed from
the gate to the Iront door. Wc entered
the prison through the kitchen, the only
entrance. We found one prisoner who
had been sick with typoid fever, but
he is improving. The keeper reported
lice in the lower cage, and said he could
not get rid of tbem. The condition ol
the upper cage is some better. The lied
clothing is in a filthy condition. Possi
bly the want of a supplv of water ex
plains the condition of things.
"We recommend that the old filthy bed
clothes be burned and new chrnp ones
purchased. We found the pi tun I tern at
work on the water pipe."", so the water
works will be remedied. We found a
large sewer pipe, on the outside wall,
open at a joint so as to allow the
fumes to escape. I?ut plumbers had
been instructed to repair this. The
sanitary condition of the jail is not what
it ought to be.
"The iail beimz constructed so low on
the ground makes it possible for any kind
of imnlements or weapons to be handed
to the prisoners lrom the outside,
through the windows, with but little
difficulty. If not nt too great expense,
wc would recommend the construction
of a stone wall around the jail, thereby
preventing the ingress and egress of per
sons who might render assistance for the
escape of prisoners. The wall need not
be constructed around the entire lot, but
limited to a short distance above the
jaih on the north side.
"The committee of the jury visited the
poor house, and found twenty-four in
mates. All seem contented and happy
and well-fed; the premises cleanly inside,
and as much so outside as the present
condition of the weather would permit.
In case of sickness medical services are
furnished promptly."
The report is signed by Dr. D. T. Mil
lard, foreman.

"The cillzeu's" Article oti
nbjectln the Assembly.
Raleigh, Jan. 31. A tesolution has
been introduced in the House mcmoral
izing Congress to establish in Western
North Carolina an Eastern National
Park. Western North Carolina, indeed,
offers every advantage in every respect;
cheapness of land, original forests, pic
turesque scenery, pure water, healthful
climate, and accessibility to the outside
world being within twenty four hours
ride of New York City.
It is gratifying to know that in many
sections of our mountains can be found
suitable and accessible places for the es
tablishment of such ail institution, and
it is fair to state that Col. J. D
Cameron, of Ashevilte, wrote a scries of
articles on this question last fall which
appeared in The Asiieville Citizen
In them the whole subject was tully re
viewed, the elegibility of the various
locations examined and compared, and
the costs ot suggested properties con'
trasted.
Col. Cameron, who is familiar with
the mountains ana with the sites he ap
proves, had bis preferences divided be
tween the lands lying along the south
face of the Smoky mountains and in
cluding those mountains in awain coun
ty; and the territory lying among the
Nantahala and Valleytown mountains
along the upppcr Nantahala river, em
braced in the counties of Macon. Clay,
and part of Cherokee, and extending
from the Tennessee river to Red Marble
Gao and thence south to the South Car
olina line. The beauty, grandeur and
full preservation of conditions give his
su creations ereat force. The territory
is thinly settled and the cost cheap, for
boundless quantities of it can be pur
chased at probably not exceeding
dollar per acre.
Concr essman Crawford from the
Ninth district, is in possession of these
articles referred to and at the proper
time will do doubt bring the matter up
for due cons. deration. It is gratifying
to see that the Winston Sentinel has so
stroniily advocated this movement and
it is desirous that all Southern papers do
likewise.
Raleigh. Feb. 1. The resolutions re
garding the National Park was br. iught
up from the committee with favorable
endorsements, but was ncain referred to

lican To Hucceed Jackson.
Washington, Feb. 3. Special. The
President has nominated Howell G Jack
son of Tennessee to be Associate Justice of
the Supreme court to succeed the late L.
Q. C. Lamar.
Signs are not wanting to indicate a
difficulty ahead in the Senate over Jack
son's nomination. There was a special
meeting of the Senate Judiciary commit
tee this morning. The purpose of the
call was not related to the nomination;
but when it was proposed that a favor
able report be made upon it, there was
some show of opposition from the Dem
ocratic side and the nomination went
over under the rules of the committee
As far as can be learned, the opposition
does not touch Judge Jackson's character
or fitness, or even his Democracy, but is
based upon an objection formed on gen
eral principles, some Democrats having
taken the position that it was not
proper for an outgoing President to fill
lite places ol such importance.
there is no question that senators on
both sides of the chamber are deeply
concerned by the probability ot the nom
nation ot a Republican circuit ludge to
succeed Judge Jackson, the Democrats
being determined in advanceto resist the
installation of a Republican on the
Southern circuit, and the Republicans
learinc that thev will have a hard strug
gle to confirm such a nomination at this
late stage in the session.

COUNTY ALLIANCE.
1 1 u v the 111 1 1 would operate In
Bnucuinbe County.
Kimtok The Citizen: In explanation
of the blil which you published,
to work the convicts on the public
roads, I wish to explain how it would
operate as to Buncombe county. Under
the provisions of the bill, this county
would net lOO convicts, fed, clothed and
completely arnud and equipped for road
building, all ut the expense ot the State,
for 250 days.
This force would grade, ditch, drain
and put in first class condition lOO miles
of our leading thoroughfares, allowing
this one hundred bands two davs and a
half foreach mile. This lOO miles would
about be taken up in the following
roads: The road to Madison county
line via Ivy, the road to Sandy Mush
the one to Turnpike, the Hendersonville
road to Henderson county line, the
HickorvNut Gao road to Rutherford line
and the Swannanoa road to McDowell
coantv.
In addition there would come the aid
to be given by the county, which ought
to be applied in rolling and macadamu
ing, and would depend upon, ot course,
the amount appropriated. If UO cents on
the $100 were levied for this purpose
from ten to fifteen miles could be macad
amized, and dividing this on each of
these roads would show our peopl j the
benefits and advantages such work
would brim;. Then, alter this object
lesson, two years hence, our people
would set about the matter ot road
buildincr in dead earnest. Let us make
the experiment. ' N. A
Howell Edmonds Jackson was born in
Paris, Trnn., April 8, 1832. In 1840 he

there was a decided majority on both
sides of the chamber opposed to the re

opinion, it could not be made a political

might be the inclination ot the incoming
President. He quoted from an article in
yesterdav s New York Herald to the ef

have the Sherman law repealed at this
session, and said be was unable to deter
mine what the President-elect had to do
with the question. He would not assert
that the article was authorized, and yet
it comported with the general tenor ot
reports. He had never seen anything
more indecent in publication, it it should
be traced anvwhere near to the incom
