An Asylum for the Insane.

During the session of the General As sembly of 1856-7, Dr. Hammond, senator from Hot Spring county, brought forward a bill to provide for the establishment of a lunatic asylum, in this State. We were surprised to see the coldness with which the proposition was received In nine out of every ten counties there are no insane per sons, or none whose insanity is of such character as to require the confinement of the patient. For two years, at least, and perhaps, for many more, no State institution of the kind will be established. In other States such inst itutions were commenced as private enterprises, and afterwards, received legislative aid. We are in the receipt of letters inquiring as to the practicability of a private institution of the kind being sup ported in this State. There are a few patients, no doubt, whose friends would be able and willing to pay to have care taken of them, and the different counties would find it as economical to support theirinsane paupers in such an institution as to confne them in their jails and poor-houses, or to hire person to take care of them. Such an institution once established, and its necessity demonstrated, would receive legis- lative aid, and likely be taken charge of by the State.

-- ><<cS", QppositiOn Humbugs.


 The opposition presses, north and south, have suddenly discovered vast amount of corruption in governmental affairs. First, their trump card was vast expenditures.- They started on a hundred millions; find ing that required rather more gullibility than could be found, they got down to seventy-two millions But the facts and figures disproved this, and they finally fell to fifty four millions. Then, they banked largely on the reports of black republican members of committees, relative to some navy contracts The admirable letter of Secretary Toucey exploded that humbug.- Now they fall back on the patronage of the navy department in procuring work men at the different navy yards. We have read the opposition statement and cannot, for the life of us, discover what it is in tended to prove. From thousand to two thousand workmen are employed at a yard. Say they:
 '' No one-not even the commonest workman-can get employment, unless he is democrat in politics"
 Starting with this admission their object is to prove that these workmen are employ ed for political purposes. But if they were all democrats they would vote the demo- cratic ticket whether employed by the go- vernment, or by private individuals, or if out of employment. Now, it is noto- rious fact that the officers of the army and navy, as well as the employees and com monest laborers are divided in politics. But admit that these workmen are all de- mocrats. We submit that 1t proves the very reverse of what they intendad. If the object was to manufacture votes, they would employ the black republican and know noth- ing workmen, on the condition of their vo- ting right for once in their lives. But they do not do this. They employ democrats men who would and will voe the demo- cratic ticket whethy employed or not.
 So much for the navy yard humbug.- Some new bubble will be started by the Yankees and copied and dilated by the southern opposition. That will be ex- >ploded and followed by another. How many birds do they expect to catch with such fresh salt?

boose. On Wednesday, two justices of the peace, under the law, employed per son to take charge of him. The section of law that empowered the justices to do this also empowered the judge of court of record to do so. We are glad to find that two men were willing to exercise legal authority and protect the taxpayers.
 It will be seen that of three lunatios, one is at large and uncared for, one is provided for by the citizens, and one Is temporarily provided for by two justices of the peace, until the meeting of the proper court. We are very glad that we succeeded in, calling so much attention to this subject The county court, although it sold the poor house, and had then an insane pauper, which it did not further provide for, Is not to blame. The probate judge tried to have guardian appointed, and he is not to blame. And, if the two justices of the peace had not employed a person to take charge of the madman, he would have been confined in the calaboose until the city au- thorites turned him loose, or set at liberty at once, and nobody would be blameable. We apprehend, that if they are so dispos- ed, the county authorities can find both law and gospel to warrant and require them to provide for these persons.

Insane Paupers Again.

We cheerfully give place to the follow ing communication from one of the asso- ciate justices of the Pulaski county court:
 "Liale Rock, April 2Sth 1859.
 MEssRs. EDrroRs TRUE DEMocRAr:-In your issue of the 27th Inst, you charge the county court of Pulaski county with great neglect.o duty in relation to insane per sons. You say, notwithstanding the last legislature passed a special act upon the subject of insane persons, this act was will fully neglected by the county court. Now sirs, if you will take the trouble to examine all the laws contained in our Statutes upon the subject of insane persons, you will cer tainly have the magnanimity to remove the censure you have placed upon the county court. If l understand the laws in rea- ton to insane persons, the county court has nothing to do with insane persons, unless the county court has poor house, and then only to make the necessary appropriations for their support as is deemed just, if they have no estate of their own. You also state that on Monday last young man furiously crazy was brought before the
 
 for his confinement, but for some reason this was refused and this man half naked, and wholly crazy, is suffered to go at large. Here again you misrepresent the facts in the case; for this crazy man was never brought before the county court. In the evening after adjournment of the court he was brought to the notice of the Judge of the probate court, who learn made every effort in his power to have him confined, and finally succeeded in getting him con fined in the city calabeose, and on the next day early as it could be done, provision was made for his safe keeping.
 Signed one of the A. J. of the Court
 We have no desire to do injustice to the court or to any person. And we know that officers are often blamed in cases where they cannot act or where the law is def cient. When our former article was writ ten we were under the impression that the county had poor-house. We had no per sonal care about it, but our attention was called to the matter by number of citi zens who felt, or professed to feel, alarmed.
 Upon inquiry we are informed of the fol lowing state of facts: The county had poor-house and sold 1t. The purchaser went before the county court and gave no tiee that he wanted to repair the house and that an insane pauper therein must be re- moved. The court, after selling the poor house, made no provision for the case of their charge and he was turned loose.
 A de1hented woman was going about the streets last week, but some kiAd hearted gentlemen had her taken care of, paying the expenses therefor.
 On Monday 25th, man furiously crazy was brought to town. It appears that the county court had djourned and the probate judge had the case before him. He wanted some person to become guardian for the crazy man, and as nobody volunteered, we are told elsewhere tried to get somebody to take care of him. He was carried to the penitentiary, refused admittance, and finally found his way into the city cala-

It is known that seventeen of them were sav- ed from the massacre, but that two of them were taken east by the Hi-utes; that the Flutes had got them from the Piranigets, who say they let them have the little ones because they wanted them to carry them to the Mopious or Navajos, where they could get two or three horses apiece for them. Steps will be taken to hunt the two children up and deliver them from their bondage

Free Negroes at the North

Frequent instances are given of the return of slaves who had escaped to the north, to their comfortable. southern homes. And hundreds would return if they had the means or thought they would be permitted to remain with their masters. While a very few manage to earn a respectable live lihood, the remainder are the most degra- ded of all human beings. They are kick ed and cuffed, treated with contumely, set to the most degrading tasks or menial em- ployments, and often starve or freeze to death. The proportion of negroes in their prisons and penitentiaries, according to the population, is three 'to one. Casting our eyes over free-soil paper published in Ohio, we were struck with this admission by the editor. He says:
 "We are funny people-we of the north in our treatment of the colored race. Does a slave break loose from his master, we are all alive with sympathy for him, and hatred of the tyrant at his heels, seeking to carry him back to stripes and servitude. Once escaped, and settled among us, sympathy is at an end and the hardships of the free State begin. The people of Greensburg, Penn, recently, upon ten hours notice, drove the negroes all out of town, and for bade them to return under penalty of death pulling their houses down as fast as they were vacated, and being with difficulty re- strained from hanging several'

IVY
 Col. R. H. JOHNSON
 Dear Str: I have before me, received by last mail, under his frank, as member of Congress, Col T. C. Hindman's speech delivered in the legislative hall in Little Rock, on 18th February last. Seeing that 1t came from our next-to-be Congressman, as natural consequence, I scanned its pages to see what he had to say on the pc litical phase of our country in general, and Arkansas in particular Guess my sur prise, when had read 1t through and saw nothing to learn-and why says he, did you know that I was opposed to the re- election of Sebastian to the U. S. Senate, that l would not for any amount have had Jno. c. O. Smith reelected swamp land agent at Helena, and last; but not least, that 1 wanted to go to Congress again?- Yes sir! knew all this. Did you not, af- ter J. c. O. Smiths nomination by the democracy two years ago for the swamp ioh' "S0h'y' Ciy ouV Noty NoOllclouoly against him, heaping some very strong de- nunciations against him, and endeavor with all the might in you to put him down, and when you could not do that, did you not intimate that if the democracy killed it. self, you would not share the blame for you had warned them of their danger? And have you not again cried out ruin-ruin- upon the democracy, they have reelected Jno. c. o. Smith?
 Last summer before the election, did he not in his speeches in all northwest Ar kansas tell us not to go for Sebastian as that would be an objection two years hence in nominating Mr. II. for Congress-that he and the Senator both lived in the same county in remote corner of the 1st dis trict? Did he not say elect Dr. Deane and then, when my race comes up again you can't object to me because you have the Senator. But, we'll did he know then, as we'll as now, that the great body of the northwest wanted Sebastian reelected, perhaps he would hardly have heard any opposition to his reelection had there not been press and editor shipped to Hunts vile to advocate the claim of another aspi- rant for that high position. Who has made any clamor about Sebastian's re-elec- tion? Does not the whole State, with a very small exception, indorse his election? Does not the national press indorse him?
 But another feature in the bill, is to stir up strife if possible. The political ele- ment has been calm-no strife in the demo- cratic party, since the memorable Grey town catastrophe happened which caused the resignation of the principal actor in the scene, who soon fell in with the know noth- ing faith and for a while led off as it's champion, but who has now as the spark. gone out and Is heard of no more in the political world. No more does he distract the democratic ranks Now why might not the democracy go on in its peaceable course, like the deep waters? The only req son l can assign Is, there will an occasional gar founder in the water to the disturbance of the other fishes, thinking himself mon- arch ot the waters. Lest your patience be- come wearied, 1 add no more, but wishing you great success.

EDIToRs TRUE DEMOCRAT: An occasion has occurred for me again to write few lines, in response to communication in the Ft. Smith Herald of this date, over the sigma ture of Agricola. I shall not attempt to reply to 1t in detail. There are number of points that answer themselves; nor do I desire to take up the space in your valua- ble paper that fnight be better appropriated than in controversy with any one upon the subject of my former letter, which seems to have troubled poor Agricola.- At the time I addressed that communica- tion to you, 1 was not aware of the extent of the fraud put upon the State by the par ties engaged in it, and as your paper and others of the State have explained it to the satisfaction of the people of Arkansas, any thing I might add could not throw any light on the subject. It is my firm belief that there is honesty and capacity enough among the people of Arkansas to judge correctly of the matter of per diem, and I never make war upon those who are so un- fortunate as to destroy themselves, by their own hand or public acts.
 For the information of Agricola, who seems to have high regards for the late speaker of the House, 1 will state that |, too was present during part of the,s sion of the legislature, and quite as well qualified as he may be, to judge of the great achievements of Mr. Duval. If all the good acts of that member were put in- to the scales of justice, they could not move the odium of the per diem, and the main actor in this wrong will find it an uphill | business to clear his skirts and satisfy the | people that the consummation of that act will not destroy all the good he did during the whole session. Agricola's pet has g saying, and makes use of 1t in his speeche; and has also put it in print, that those who opposed his onward course would not b, l dDlc lO HtO NtUt tc HCC ONO, pub lHdt tilt, would find him a sturdy tree, which tn true democracy would rally around, and it brauches be extended throughout the Stat until every honest man would gather toge ther under its ample folds, and bask in redeemed state" Alas! for poor human ma ture; the sprout was nipped in the bud, tn sturdy tree is no where to be seen, tn poor delicate plant has been killed by frost called per diem.
 There. is nothing new in our town; tn l frost has killed all the fruit; and the whea looks fine throughout the county; vegeta tion has suffered from frost, still we hay hopes of an abundance, and the health O the country is excellent.

AN APOSTLE ON UNITED STATES LURES. -Jedediah Grant, Brigham Young's s Apostle, e,'' in an address to the saints at Salt Lake, says:
 Last Sunday the president chastised some of the apostles and bishops who were on the grand jury Did he fully succeed in clearing away the fog which surrounded them, and in removing blindness from their eyes? No, for they could go to their room and again disagree, though to their credit 1t must be admitted that a brief explana- tion made them unanimous in their action.
 Again, in the same connection, Jedediah speaking of traverse jury, continues: 1" Several had got into the fog to suck and eat filth of gentle court, osrENsIBLY a court in Utah."
