Crazy women.

-g' There are now two crazy colored women
running around our streets, who il they are
not really objects Of charity, at least deserve
to be placed in good keeping fol. their own
comfort and to prevent their doing mischief
to others. One 10 an old woman named Mrs.
Gray, who has been crazy some weeks or
months. She lately lost a son. second
son is absent, supposed to be in California.
She runs down to every boat arriving, and
searches it for her absent boy, sometimes
crying bitterly. She 10 occasionally i'm
pressed with the idea that he has been chain
ed and dragged over to Kentucky as a slave.
The other has been crazy for several years
A short time since, having pain in her
face, she washed her face with camphene
which catching on fire burnt her face, horri-
| bly,. She was sent IL the Poor House, but
got away, and is now wandering about the
streets. Both Of these women should be
placed in some confinement. But short
time since one Of our citizens was killed BY
a maniac, who was not regarded as being re-
ally SO dangerous as are these women. We
call the attention Of our authorities to these
cases. .'--'

The Char,..,on Convension.


The late meeting Of this body seems to
have been attended with less practical results
than any of the preceding sessions Of the
convention. Several highly important com.
mercial questions were agitated and very
ably discussed. The Pacific railroad project
has been the leading subject of interest be-
fore the convention, and elected warm and
elaborate debate upon the policy to be pur-
sued, best calculated to meet the appreciation
Of public sentiment, and secure the compile
ton of the greatest Of all enterprises. Gov.
Combs of Kentucky advocated the going to
work Immediately, and building the road as
far West as Ell Paso, on the Western boun-
daries of Texas, with private enterprise and
such State aid as had already been granted
and not call upon the government for aid
Mr.. Pike, OF Arkansas, who has made him.
self distinguished in the convention as q
champion of internal improvements, was al
30 opposed to looking to Congress for help
and was in favor of the Southern and West
ern States taking the matter into their own
hands, and organizing themselves into com
pany for the purpose of building the road
Gov. Jones, Of Tennessee, was only in favor
ofthis method as an alternative, and held the
right and proPriety of looking to government
for the necessary aid, and urged strongly the
constitutional power of Congress to render
such assistance.
Lieut.. Maury advocated the construction
by government, under the war power, Of a
double track road, the government merely
laying down the rails, and leaving it to indi.
viduals and private enterprise to place upon
the road the rolling stock and furniture, the
government keeping the track in order jus
as it keeps in order our navigable rivers and
harbors for ships and steamboats,. This idea
will be exceedingly novel to the great mass
Of community, no doubt.
The discussion Of this question before TIT
late convention only goes to show, practical
ly, the great diversity of opinion, which ex
lists throughout the land, among both scien
ti6c and commercial men, concerning tn
proper policy to be adopted to open railroa
to the Pacific. Owing more 10 this diversit
of opinion, and to local jealouses as 10 it
location, rather than the want of PLAZA o
means, this project is doomed to years o
speculative and Improbable discussion an
perhaps legislation. Lieut.. Maury, from tn
committee on resolutions, presented rePoI
embracing recommendations of lines Q
steamers to Europe and the Amazon, i'm
provement of Southern harbors, repeal G
duties on railroad iron, the appointment of
committee to present to the South statistic
al statement of its immense resources an
capabilities, and divers other kindred sui
jects.
These conventions, we believe, will b
productive of great and general good; tn
true interests Of the South and West can
considered BY such a body free from all pal
ty shackles, and free from spoils-catchin
and President-makng influences.

A FAST Rogue The Rochester Union, Of
Saturday says:
A fellow named John LYONS, who was sent
from Buffalo to Auburn State Prison some
years since. was discharged from that insti.
tuition on Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock,
and came to this city, on his way to Buffalo,
by the first train. He too. lodgings at Mrs.
Clemson's Inn, opposite the market, and the
following night robbed traveller, who &C.
cupied, room with him, of S65. The money
was missed early in the morning; at 8 O'Clock
officer Van Slyke found Lyons in clothing
store, purchasing a suit with the stolen mon
ey. He was taken to the Police office, ex-
amined and Afully committed. Only twenty
two hours elapsed from the time of his de-
parture from the State Prison before he was
in Rochester Jail. with q certainty of his
being returned to his old quarters at Auburn
al the next setting OF the court. About half
OF the stolen money was recovered and re-
stored to the owner, whose name is William
Trapnew. Lyons is certainly fast young.

in Jail are said TO be very comfortable and

THE PREsIDESr.-Th last number of the
New York Herald speaks in these just terms
of Gen. Pierce aud his administration:
Gen. Pierce has held the control fthe od-
ministraiion at Washington TOR little over
year, aud he cannot be blind to the conse.
qences Of the misguided nnd suicidal policy
which he has pursued. The elections since
March. 1853, in New York, Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island
have shown the late overwhelming Demo.
cratic party to be utterly demuralized and
parsly sed in the North. The failure Of the
Nebraska i'll in the House, and Of the Gsds
den treaty in the Senate, show the admins.
tration to be powerlcss upon any great tes
question in eitnr branch of congress. In
fact, every step taken by Gen. Pierce to
| strengthen himself has tended to weaken
him, and disJrganize and break down his nd.
ministration and his party.

THE MINIsrRATioN.-Badly as we have
from the first thought OF the Pierce admins
tration, we were rot a little surprised, during
late visit to Washington, to hear the op-
probrious terms in which it was habitually
spoken Of by the leading Democrats Of both
houses of Congress. No one, without being
or having been lately present in Washington,
can possibly form any adequate idea OF the
contempt in which the President is avowedly
held by the Senators and Representatives OF
both parties, the Democratic as well as the
Wing. In the course of little more than
week, we conversed freely with many of the
Democratic members, and we may perhaps
surprise some Of our readers by stating to
them the fact that we did not hear one of
them allude to Franklin Pierce in terms of
common respect. We heard him repeatedly
called by Democratic lips the most notorious
faIsiiier in Washington. A ruder term than
fa:siier was used in relation to him, but we
do not care to put it in our columns. Instan-
ces Of his perfidy aud evidences Of his utter
destitution Of honor and truth were related to
US. which, if universally known, would cause
him TO be regarded everywhere AS politically
and morally disgraced. We heard the ablest
Democratic supporters Of the GadsJen treaty
say, that, If the treaty should be finally de-
featei, its defeat would be as much owing to
the odium brought uponit by the administra-
tons active support oiit as by any other or
all other causes. .. 10. ~ .r.l
] Throughout the country generally, the
Democratic editors, who have not had the
same opportunity as the Democratic men,
tbefs OF Congress to obtain an intimate
knowledge of Gen. Pierce and his admins
tration, are in the habit, at least many OF
them, OF representing him TO their readers
as a wise, just, and patriotic President, and
we presume that a large portion Of their
Democratic readers believe what is thus told
them. We think it not at all unlikely that a
majority ofthe Democratic party Of Ken.
lucky and Of the West generally, are actually
living under the impression that the nation
has very good, firm, honest, and manly Pres.
ident, but the opinion which is already univer.
sal at the seat o. the General Government
will not be long in finding its way through.
