lying idle, doing nothing not because of the
hard tim's, but because our Railroad lines re.
quire il; yes, the Riilroad monopolies have shut
these finest steamers in the world up in their
docks, and have put in their stead parcel of
miserable PropellerS,a little more than overSrown

Northern Luuutic Asylum TO DC

The board Of Trustees of the Northern Ohio
Luna,ic Asylum huve held a meeting for the
purpose of deciding upon the best course to b,
pursued in tho management of that institution
II seems that the Legislature of last winter fail.
cd to appropriate the necessary amount of means
TO meet the expenses Of that asylum for the cur
rent year. DR.. Griswold was appointed TO cor
respond with the House and Senate committees
on Benevolent Institutions, aud learns that the
deficiency was caused by the adoption, in the
hurry and confusion of the last hours of the ses-
sion" of an amendment of the original bill redu
cling the appropriation from 800 200 to S95 300.
The committee also desired the Board TO borrow
the $4, 900 required to keep the asylum open -
This, however, is strictly prohibited by law, and
will not be done, 1t seems that ample appro.
priations have been made FOR the Southern aSy
lum, and the same bill also appropriates 80.

would be at the rate of $4,000 ycur 1t Is,
to say the least, very uuwisc aud bungling

by the proceedings of the Board of Trustees
of the Northern Ohio Luuatic Asylum il will
be seen those gentlemen will ba forced to close
rhe Asylum for two months because of the pll-
hIl negiec, of the last Legislature to provide the
means requisite for keeping il in operation.-
We would like to be pointed TO one days legis
iation in the history of the Democratic L,gisa-
tnTe of Ohio, which was not full of blunderS or
what was worse shan blunders.
That Legislature did not fail to pass mcon-
stitutional laws By which itcxpectid to get COM
pete possession of almost every office in the
State, but it denied four thousand dollars with
which TO clothe and feed the poor lunaticS, and
those wretched objects are now to BE- returned
10 the jaS or their homes. This was no over
sight il was deliberate, for the Southern Asy.
lum received the requisite amount of funds to
carry it through the year. II is bad enough for
the Democrats 10 rob sane men, bat when il
proposes to rob the insane. we think it is time
for the public to cry out.
The resolution pissed by the Trustees was one
they could not as honest men avoid, The only
alternative was either illegally TO contract an
Indebtedness or close the Asylum. The response
bility of this Outrage rests upon the Legislature,
and they must bear it,

matters not what cities are ruined, or who are
the sufferers, the Railroad interest d9mands it,
refer more particularly perhaps may say ex-
clusivey now, to the New York Central Road.
The navigation on the Hudson River is seriously
impaired by this road and always by selfish and
mean management on the part of the road. The
fare now from Albany to New York on the Rail-
road is but one dollor but as soon as the boats
stop running the fare is more than doubled. |
do not pretend to have given the subject of Rail-
roads any thought or study, but think there
should be some check to their selfish and un-
principlee management There are other inter-
ests as important to the people at large as the
Railroad interests; and though when properly
conducted, Railroads are an advantage to the
country generally, yet when left to themselves,
without the control and restrictions necessary
from our State legislatures, they become danger

be to have them banished to half-dozen trips

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.--Th vessels engaged in
laying down the Atlantic Telegraph cable, have
been hearl from. They had encountered heavy
weather and consequently progressed slowly with
their important work, Those engaged in tho en-
terprse not discouraged, but the belief is very
general that it will prove Inlure under the pres.
ent plan, while all agree in tho opinion that wc
will at no very distant day bo in telegraphic com
municnton with the Old World.
p. S.--Snce the foregoing was placed in
type, we have received the following additional
news:
NEw. YoRK, July 20.-The steamship North
Star arrived at 10 o'clock this morning, from
Southampton July 7th. The steamship Asia
arrived out on the ih.
The most important intelligence by this arri
val, is the failure Of the attempt to lay the At.
iantic cable, The Niagara and Gurgon arrived
at Queenstown on the 9th. The Agamemnon
aud Valorous, had not arrived on the 9TH. The
Niagara and ABmomnon met third time on the
2Sth, and third time connected the cable
They then started ntresh when the Niagara hav-
ing paid out over $50 miles of cable oil on
board, entertained the most sanguine anticpa.
tions Of success, when the announ cement was
made on the 29Ih, at 0 o'clock p. NJ, that the
electric current ceased to flow.
As the necessity for abandoning the project
FOR the present was only too manifest, it was
considered that the opportunity might rs well
be avalled OF to test tho strength of the cable.
Accordingly this immense vessel with all her
stores, &c, was allowed TO swing to the cable,
aud ia addition, strain OF four tons was placed
upon the brakes yet although il wus blowing
fresh al the time the cable held her as if she
had been at anchor for over one hour when u
heavy pitch OF the sea snapped the rope aud the
Niagara bore away for Queenstown. She must
have passed the Agmemnon, bat owing to the
heavy Toy. missed seeing or hearing anything of
her. II was conjectured that the latter had not
delivered her specified quantity Of cable at the
time OF the failure, aud may have consequently
returned to the place of meeting. Should moth.
ing be heard OF her the Niagara would proceed
to-the ocean station having still on board four,
teen hundred miles of the cable which, sun.
posing that the other vessel has retained IA SINH
lsr amount, will permit of tho junction to be
completed, and allowing thirty per cent. for
casualties.

She hal over 800 tunS Of mud in her hold aud on

as the rains wash the steep hanks that compose
the sides of the bay, the soft being quite aluvial
