It (the ADMINISTRATOR deserves the severest
censure for contracting TO supply the capital Of the
American nation with wafer pipes made in Scotland,
Bonner, Aug. 26..
We are somewhat astOnished that the Banner still
persists in this most absurd and ridiculous charge
against the Administration. The contract for sup.
plying water pipes for the aqueduCt at Washington
was not in any way controlled by the Administra-
ton. Congress authorized Capt MEIGs, the archi'
ect Of the capitol extension to let out the contract
for the supply of these pipes to the lowest bidder
Now, Capt ME1Gs is not a Democrat, and the Dem
ocratic party is in no way responsible for his ap
pointment, nor his conduct. He, however, has writ
! ten letter in which be defends himself from tn,
| charges which have been made with reference t,
/ this transaction. He says that he advertised TO
bids to supply the iron for the Washington aqueduo
/ two mouths before the time of letting, that Law
RENEE MYERS, of Pennsylvania, was the lowest bid
der, and that he consequently became the contrac
! tor according to law. It certainly requires YER
considerable exercise of ingenuity to manufacture
out Of these facts grave charge against the Admi1
istration, and still greater exercise of credulity tt
believe the charge when made. If Mr.. MTER
bought his iron in Scotland, he had perfect RICH
to do SO, and nobody had authority to prohibit him
We insist as the Banner has published these charges
that it also publish the contradiction.

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

In commenting on the announcement of the
New York Herald that it's Geographic intel.
li9enoe from London will cost two thousand
dollars q column, bot that, nevertheless, 1t 10
determined to have the news; the Petersburg
Intslligencer contains the following just re-
marks, which will show to the country how
much bold humbug there is in the perpetual
boastipgs Of the New York Press, and how
they mulct the whole press OF the country
beside, for their benefit. The lntelligencer
says:
.'No one will deny that the Herald is en-
terprising and that it sagaciOus proprietor
understands very we'll the policy of spend
ing ono dollar when he can make two
by the investment 1t ia proper though
that the public should know that much
of the, boasted iberality of the New York
journals is all CANNON. Their real expendi-
turss do not approximate the sums they pre-
tend. The cost Of telegrapbing for instance,
after being divided among the principal dai,
lies of thar city, 10 greatly reduced If not en-
tirely discharged, by tax levied on the press
of other cities for the use of their dispatches.
In this city, the Dailies, apart from the
regular telegrapbic charges, are taxed six dol
lars q week BY the Associated Press," which
il We understand it, is nothing more nor less
than the New York Press. In Richmond
tax of ten dollars week is levied. II the
public will consider the number oiDaily news
papers published in the United States, out
side the CITY Of New York, they will be able,
from the data furnished, to form an estimate
of the segregate sum contributed by other
papers towards lessening the expenses of
those in New York. Bot never hint of this
il dropped by the New York journals. On
the contrary, they lose no opportunity Of
speaking Of their enormous expenditures and
Boosting Of their unapproacbabe enterprise
There isas much humbug in journalism as in
anything else."

REMARKABLE CURE OF A LUNATIC.

REMARKABLE CURE OF A LUNATlC.
DR.. Thsyer, on Thursday, performed q
sursical operation on lunatic. The man
was thrown from wagon about FIVE years
since, fractoring his skull against fence
stake, the injury bringing on violent derapge-
ment, which became permanent. He was
taken to the 'lunstie asylum where be re-
manned considerable time. until be was
discharged a. incurable, and finally remand
cd to the jailof the county, where he has re-
mained for about year past. His wife en-
gagged the services Of Dr.. Thayer to attempt
the cure Of her unfortunate husband. After
examining the case, Dr.. Thayer found por-
ton Of the skull much depressed, and resolv-
ed to removeit. On entering the cell with
his assistants for that purpose, on Friday, the
man became greatly enraged, and poured cut
yolleys Of excavations on DIR. Thlyer, as
though be was aware of the business he came
on. At the order of jailor Frazee, the lunat-
ic laid down on bis bed, when be was imme-
diately confined, and copious doses of chlorc-
form administered, until he became perfectly
inssnsible. The depressed portion of the
skull, forming piece q little smaller than q
quarter dollar, which had been pressing on
tho brain, was then taken out, and found to
have tbickeued considerably on one side
The head was then bound With bandage
saturated with water, and the patient left to
recover from his stupor. On Saturday be
awoke, arose from bis bed, and walked up
and down the room, perfectly rational. lie
complained that the bandages, which for
some reason that he could not understand,
q hnr nd
asked the attendant if they might be loosen
ed. As coon as relieved from the pressure,
he lay down on bis bed and fell asleep. %
his again awakening. he was asked if be
would like bis wife TO see him. She had
child but q few days before the accident, and
he DOW expressed doubt whether she would
be able to get out of bed. On her entering,
he WAS sstonished to find her 80 we'll after
her recent illness, aud feared that her health
would suffer from exposing herself so early.
He asked after the child, and wished to see
it, but vas put off with an evasive answer,
until it was considered advisable to explain
mattere to him. lie then commenced talk
ing of tbings that happened five years ago,
as If having occurred but yesterday. 1t was
long time before be could be made aware Of
the fact of bis long illness and insanity, aud
when % last convinced Of it, stated that be
had no recollection Of anything more than
misty kind of dream about being sick. He
recommended his wife to 60 home to her
friends until he was we'll, as her stay in
Cleveland would be expensive, and talked
perfectly rational on other subjects. lie is
now in fair way Of recovery, and will prob
ably do we'll, unless Inflammation should 81
