The CUNN1NGHAM CAsE.-Thc investigation as to
the late conspiracy for which Mrs. Cunningham and
others have been arrested, was resumed in New
York on Thursday. Drs. De Wess and Barker, who
were directed by the Justice and District Attorney
Hall, to make physical examination of Mrs. Cum
nngham in order to ascertain to further certainty
if she had recently given birth to child, proceeded,
in company with her counsel, VIM. R. Stafford, to
81 Bond street, and were ushered into the room Of
Mrs. Cunningham. After stating the object of their
visit, they inquired if she prepared to submit to
the proposed examination. Mrs. Cunningham, in
reply, stated that personally she willing to SUBJ
init to such examination, but that acting under the
advice of her counsel, she must decline so doing
There were present in the room besides the above
mentioned gentlemen the two daughters of Mrs.
Cunningham, Helen and Georgana.
Mrs. Cunningham appears languid, but the
physicians state that her pulse is perfectly strong
her tongue clean and to every appearance she is in
as good health as any person can be- Drs Barkct
and Dc West, together with Justice Davidson, then
returned to Jefferson Market Court and the two
medical gentlemen jointly made affidavit to the
effect that she, at the instance of her counsel refus-
ed to be examined. They further reported that Mrs.
Cunningham exhibited no external evidence of hav.
ing been in the condition claimed by her. She ap.
peared only as if she had been laboring under ncr
vous excitement. The doctors were of opinion that
she was not seriously ill., and could with safety be
removed.

N. Fl. AsYLUM FOR RE lNsAHE-On " sdnesday
of last week, the time fxed by his previoos resse
nation Dr. Tyler surrendered the charge OF shss Asy
lum to his. successor. This inteligeDce will Dc re-
ceived with regret by all the friends ofthe lnstitu-
ton who have been in any degree familiar with its
affairs during the time he has been in charge oft
In the Ave years during which DR.: Tyler has been
Superintendent great changes have been made in the
Asylum. The farm connected with it has been great
y improved, and is now in excellent condition. The
buildings for the accommodation OF patients have
been much enlarged, and improved in their internal
arrangements. The design of these additions and
improvements, and the oversight of their execution,
have necessarily in great degree devoved on the
Superintendent, and must have added greatly to his
cares and labors during the past few years. The
present condition of the Asylum with reference to
its capacity for patients and to convenience and COM
fort is far superior to what it has before been
and the economical and careful management of its
pecuniary affairs by DR.. Tyler, who has also acted
as Treasurer, with the appropriations made by the
State, has placed the Asylum in . very favorable
condition in that respect. - D.,
The management of the Institution in the more
important particular of the treatment of its patients
has been equally favorable and successful. Those
most competent to judge speak highly Of the pro-
fessional attanments of Dr. Tyler, and all who have
any acquaintance with him know how fully he pos
sesses those qualities of temper and disposition
which are regarded of so much importance in the
mduoSetueIt VI IHSCtutIOHS Vi IuS CHdTaCtcT. uo
has been very successful in gaining the good will Of
the inmates of the asylum and the confidence ofther
friends abroad.
Under these circumstances the resignation of DR..
Tyler is public loss His successor, DR.. j. P. Ban
croft, comes highly recommended, and our best wish
for him and the State is that he may be as success
full in the management Of the asylum as his prede-
cessor has BEEN
The occasion of DR.. Tyler's resignation was the
necessity of relaxation from much care and labor
to invgorate his health. We understand that it is
probable he may still continue bis residence in this
city; which we sure will be gratifying to his
many friends here.

Free Suffrage.

In the Counties of Wake, Warren, Granville, Or
ange, Johnston, Alamance, Forsyth, Mecklenburg,
Chatham Halifax CASTOR, Wayne, Iredell, Cabar-
rus, New Hanover, Brunswick, Sampson, Cumber-
land and Edgecombe, the entire vote polled this
great question is 81 100. The vote for it is a.
against it, 6,9s6, leaving majority in these nine
teen counties of 1928.
The measure has been approved by majority in
all probability of from thirty to forty thousand votes.
As some of our distant readers may not fully
derstand the question, We will state it: Our State
Constitution provides that one shall vote for
Senator in the State Legislature who does not own
fifty acres of land. The Constitution also provides
that no amendment shall be made to that instru-
ment unless bill for that purpose shall have passed
one General Assembly by three-ffths vote of all
the members, and the next General Assembly, by a
two-thirds vote of all the members; nor shall the
said amendment even then be made, unless ap-
proved by majority of the people. land holders
and non-andholders, at the ballotbox. An amend
ment, striking out this freehold qualification for
voter in the Senate, and extending the right of suf
rage to all native and naturalized citizens who may
have paid taxes passed by the three ffths vote
in 1854, and by the two-thirds vote in 1856, and
was submitted to the people to be approved or re
jected at the late election.
This measure originated with the Democratic par
ty in 1913, when Gov. Reid, the author of it, in
the field for the first time as their candidate for
Governor 1t encountered the decided opposition
of the late Wing party, many of whose leaders Ia
bored for years to defeat it. But the Democrats
stood by it firmly and manfully, and it has at last
triumphed NV an immense majority

The Fruits of Mr.. POOLS Labors.

friend who writes US from Weldon, giving the
result of the election in Halifax, piquanty but very
justly observes
In 1855 Col. Paine's majority at this precinct
(Weldon) was 65-Paine 100, Shaw So. This year
the vote is Smith &C, Shaw Ga tie. How does
Mr.. Senator Pool feel? He came all the way from
Pasquotank to enlighten this dark of the Dis
trict, few days before the election. He did not
come for the purpose of electioneering oh no!
He said So and of course that was not his mission.
DR.. Shaw had gone on to the lower part of the Dis
trct, and the Pasquotank Senator was not so unfair
to drop in behind him to make electioneeSing
speech. Well, he came and enlightened US; and
you have the result. Another time he will be more
welcomed by the Democrats than by his own politi-
cal friends"
