RADICAL.

Ixard County, June 21.

To the Editor ofthe .4doocafe.


 In your last paper you cast severe cen- sure on me as jailer of this county, which do not think properly belongs to ne. It IS well known that for many months past, the jail has not been sufficient to retain it's inmates-no repairs having been done. since House and A oods cut out one of the logs. have made repeated application to different workmen Tn this place, to have the Jail repaired, but they have uniformly refused to do the work, unless upon my responsibility, and as I did not consider it my duty to assume the payment of the ne- cessary repairs, and be repaid in County scrip at It's present reduced value. no re. pairs have been made.

 tn the morningofthe day on which the pri- soners escaped, l carefully examined their irons and found them sound and secure. NIT. Cotter was at work on my house, which IS within fifty yards of the jail, all the day. and was only absent at dinner, and it must have been at this time the escape was ef- fected. That they had friends to assist them and who furnished them with the means of getting off their irons, is suscep- tible of proof.

 The insecurity of the jail. induced me abent two months age, to resign the keys so Col. Rutherford, who urged me to con tinne until the superior Court. l agreed to do so. Under all the circumstances. l have only to reproach myself for having continued to act as. deputy iailer, so long after the jail became unfit to secure a cri- minal. $. D. ROBE.
