Workhouses ogress very oppor tunely before the public. The sufferings of invalid peoples have at length taken deep hold on the mamma mind, and on urger cry for reform some from every section of society. Our workhouses are already hospitals, ia the sense of being filled with tin sick and infirm, and a movement which aims M providing the former with proper hospital attendance is so remocable and humane silo command the sympathies of all interested in the poor. The cease of neglect and cruelty broiled Io light during the bst few month. form, it is grestlylto be fasted, but en bagnifimat per-centego on the number of whiek the public never hear; and it is impossible for an impartial thinker to give attention to work house discipline without arriving at the convic tion that our parochial system is rotten at the core, and needs a revision whichlehall be at once stern, sharp, end decisive. The new Association proposes to seed new hospitals, and to remove the six thousand sick paupers now in our London workhouses into them ; to furnish these hospitals with qualified ammo and au efficient medical star ; and to pro vide the morawy funds by a general metropolitan rate. We cordially agree with these gentlemen as to the horrible inefficiency of existing arrange ments, and as to the vast boon which would be conferred on the six thousand poor invalids they propose to benefit. As a matter of expediency, log the leaders of this important movement are perhaps wise in limiting their attention to smite were, and in excluding from their care the idiots and imbeciles, the old and the chronically infirm. It is of course easier to deal with sir thousand people than with thrice that number, for the serious obstacle to improvement--expense--is materially lammed ; while the support of political economists lends practical aid to the sympathy of the charitable, if adding to the available labour of the country, by more speedily restoring the sick pauper to health and strength, be one of the main features of the scheme. There is, however, another side to this ques-1 Lion, and one which we shall take leave to con sider. The duty of this course is the more argent, l from the error fallen into by a contemporary in its issue of yesterday. After commenting upon the objects of the new society, and airily patting on the back "the good people who met at Willis's " rooms," with the assurance that the task before them was far simpler than they seemed to think, our contemporary gravely informed the public that the lunatic and the idiot were now transferred from the workhouse to the asylum. The state ment implied is beat met by the fact that in the workhouses of the metropolitan district alone there are at this time 1,800 idiots and im beciles. Of the 10,500 old and infirm inmates of the same houses, we have authority for stating, fully one half require medical attendance. Thus, while giving efforts on behalf of the acutely sick our hearty co-operation and support, we earnestly hope for a comprehensive measure which shall include every reform aimed at by the new Association, whilst remedying the flagrant evils besetting the treatment of the old, the im becile, and the infirm, evils with which it does not attempt to cope. As an example of the sufferings which would not be touched by anyaction limited to acute eases, let us cite the instance of kfarrirew Mutt. This pauper was admitted into Shoreditch Workhouse on the 17th of July last year, and was discharged on the 22nd of the following August. The work house medical officer certified that Mutt, we, suf fering from " chronic mania" at the time of his admission, and justified his forcible expulsion five weeks later by saying he was "cured." Mutt's wife swore at the official inquiry subsequently made that she had been sent for, and in spite of protes tations, tears, and entreaties, was compelled to remove her insane husband from the house to her lodgings. A few days afterwards he ran away, was discovered in the dead of the night breaking windows in the City, declared to be a "wandering " lunatic," and forthwith sent to the County Asylum. The authorities of the City of London Union, in whose district he was found at large, and the authorities of Shoreditch, in whose district be had lived for many years, squabbled as to which should defray the cost of his keep, or there would have been no official inquiry, and no public investigation. As it was, though the man was shown tobe mad at the time of his expulsion, no one was re primanded or punished ; and, from the facts elicited at the inquiry, and its result, it seems clear that a workhouse master and doctor, or a relieving officer and doctor, have but to act in collusion to expel or refuse admission to the insane poor. The public voice calls for some assurance that the helpless inmates of workhouses shall meet with fair and just treetops* and thou. remov ing six thousand of theii nuraber int" WOW' would be a step in the riglif dlopetion, i,t simnikl be remembered b eat s, oe *ice of idiots and imecile of agotl and i*m, would be left unrelientil. ple4ineWn from the same stock, Ate as senidble to pain and se susceptible to proper treatment as the rest ; and we see no-good reason for their being left to the tender mercies of pauper nurses, and deprived, as now, of proper medicines and suitable food. The truth ia, the power of dealing with and providing for workhouse inmates is at present in the bands of men incapable of using it properly ; and while welcoming the efforts of the Sick Poor Association and approving its aims, we should hail still more warmly a well-tionaideced proposal for comprehen sive, instead of partial, parochial reform.

I have found treason at the South, and now when I turn to the other end of the line I find men still opposing the restore lion of the Union." President Johnson, re plying to the call for their names, said—" I regard them, as President or citizen, as being equally opposed to the fundamental principles of this government, and believe they are as much labouring to prevent or destroy them as were those who fought against us. Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, and others of the same stripe are amongst them. They may vituperate, traduce, slander me, that does not affect me. I do not intend to be overawed by friends nor bullied by enemies. It has been said, in high places, if such usurpation had been exercised two °motorise ago it would have cost a certain indi vidual his head. The usurpation I have been guilty of has been standing between the people and the encroachments of power. In connexion with his subject the same gentleman explained we were standing in the midst of earthquakes, he l i trembled and could not yield. Yea. There is an earthquake coming ; there is a ground swell of popular judgment and indignation. When lam beheaded I want the people to witness it. Ido not want it done by innendos and indirect , remarks in high places to be suggested to men having assassination breeding in their bosoms. Others explain this presidental obstacle must be gotten out of the way. What is that, it I may make use of a strong term, but in citing assassination 1 Are those who want to destroy our institutions and change the character of our government not satisfied with the blood already shed I They have not the honour or the courage to obtain their ends otherwise than by assassin's hands. I know they are willing to wound, but they fear to strike. If my blood is to be shed, because I vindicate the Union and the preservation of the government in its purity, let it be shed ; let the opponents of the government remember that the blood of the many. was the seed of the church. The Union will grow and continue to increase in strength and power, though it may be cemented and cleansed with blood." A densely-thronged meeting was held at the Cooper Institute, where all classes of politics were represented. An address and resolutions were adopted, urging the admission of loyal Southern representatives to Congress, approving the veto, endorsing Mr. Johnson's policy, and recommending the call of another meeting whene►er the exigency demanded it, to promote harmony in the public councils of the country. Mr. Seward made • speech in which he said that the country was in no peril, no matter whether the Congressional or the Presidential policy prevailed. This confidence arose from the conviction that there never was and never can be any successful pro. cess for the restoration of union and harmony among the States, except that with which the Pre sident has avowed himself satisfied. Loyal men from the Southern States willsooner or later during this or some other congressional term be received into the National Legislature. The restoration will then be complete. Territorial government would require greater imperial powers than Napoleon possesses. Maximilian's task, though he engages two Emperors and two Imperial orgaoisations, with their forces, is not thought the most wise or hopeful political enterprise of the day. The Congressional policy was impracticable and vicious. The President considers the present Freedmen's Bureau Bill sufficient, because it re mains in force for one year after the termination of the rebellion, and no official announcement f the termination of the rebellion has yet been made. A committee of influential citizens of New York will proceed to Washington to confer with the President upon the best means of sustaining the memurre of his administration.
