A Needed Asylum.

IT is common observation that within the
last tour or five years intemperance has in
creased in this country beyond precedent.
Temperance societies have, no doubt, done
much good in preventing many from using
alcoholic liquors at all, and in reclaiming
others who might otherwise have proceeded
to incurable excess. But there is a class oil
persons whose cases are beyond the reach Of
voluntary pledges of abstinence. There is a
certain point at which intemperance becomes
a smania. The victim loses self control and
is really irresponsible. The passion for drink
has, then, become disease which must be
medically treated, just as we deal with ordi-
nary insanity. The patient requires to be
put under restraint; subjected to physical and
moral discipline and cannot be trusted with
his personal liberty until by means of absti-
nsnce and a curative regimen he has reco-
Vered that sound, healthtul tone of body and
mind which. either corrects morbid appetite
OF enables him to resist it by the strength o.
his will.
This is no new theory. 1t has long been
asserted and explained in the writings of
many eminent physicians, andit is gratifying
fact that society has begun to recognize this
doctrine OF physiology in the shape OF reform
atory institutions for the reclamation OF the
drunkard. How far such means are adapted
to effect tho end is yet to be proved. Actual
experiment does not inform us whether any
system Of restraint and sanatiVe mnistration
can perfectly or permanently cure the crav-
ingS Of the confirmed inebriate, and restore
his seli-command. But there is good reason
to hope that results will justify, in some con-
siderable measure at least, experimental
movements in this direction. The wonderful
progress that has been made in the manage
ment of mental insanity since the first rude
attempt, encourages the belief that benevolent
zeal in behalf OF q kindred disorder may, by
feeling its way gradually, with the light of
science and observation, accomplish much
more than we now suppose to be practi-
cable.
But should it be found that intemperance,
treated in this way, cannot be efectuauy
cured; If protracted and intelligent expert
ment with every variety of case should show
that the taste for Intoxicating drink cannot
be overcome radically and finally by any such
methods as those contemplated in the founda-
ton OF asylums for the cure OF dlpsomania,
yet it is of importance, both to the drunkard
and to society, that he should be saved from
and in spite of himself, even If it should be
necessary to shut him up from temptation,
and cut him of completely by prison walls
from the internal poisons that must otherwise
destroy his life and his soul Liberty to man
who is not free moral agent, who cannot
resist habit or taste that renders him a
curse to himself, terror to his family, and
nuisance to the public, is a right that is vlr-
tually forfeited and ought to be taken away

The DISFRANCHIsENIENT OF DEsERTERS
The action of the Democratic members OF
our State Legislature on the bill to disfran-
chise all persons who, during the war, had
failed to report for duty at the notified time,
has placed the whole Democratic party in an
awkward position. When the law came before
the Senate for adoption, the entire portion of
that body who hold opposition sentiments, not
content with singly recording their votes
against this most just enactment, conferred
together and entered protest on the journal
in opposition to the action Of the majority.
The singular interest taken in the fate Of the
bill by the Democratic members makes it
evident that it would be to the advantage of
that party should its defeat be secured. Con-
sequently it is evident that the votes of these
disiranchised men are confidently counted
upon as part of the support of the party which
befriended them The position in which
it is thus placed is such as would drive every
true-hearted soldier from it's ranks, had they
not left it before. Those men who have fought
bravely for years to secure the triumph of the
Union are asked to vote side by side with the
skulkers and towards who, fearing to face the
enemy, fed to hide with women, or seek
safety in Canada. What soldier would be
willing to fight in a civic battle on the same
side as those who feared to fight with him on
the field of martial strife?
The principle is thus virtually declared by
the Democracy, that they hold deserters and
refugees are entitled to the same privileges as
those who have served with faithful zeal in
the service Of their country. 1t only re-
quired such an addition to the platform to
drive every soldier and every soldiers friend
away from the party which seeks to shield in
its bosom towards, deserters, and bounty
jumpers.

DEATH OF AN EMINENT CITIzEN.--We
have to add another mortuary notice to the
long list OF our city for the past few weeks.
Mr.. REESE d. FRLL, long and tavorably
known in our business circles, died at his
residence last evening after brief but pain
full illness. His malady was the prevalent
one, pneumonia. Mr.. FELL was best known
as a stock and bill broker, and was long
engaged in that business in Philadelphia. he
was noted for his uprightness, tact,
and enterprise. Few men were more widely
known in Philadelphia, and in his death the
community loses one of its best citizens, and
a man who took deep interest in everything
pertaining to the interests Of the city. Mr..
FELL died in the sixty-third year OF his age,
and leaves large family to mourn his
lass.

BY the law. 1t Is better that such person
should drag out his days in confinement under
kindly supervision, and in comparative bodily
comfort and health, than be allowed to go
reeling about the world in beastly drunken
ness, disgracing himself, distressing his friends,
and shocking the sensbilities OF everybody.
No better expedient for the correction oF
the evil of which we speak could be devised
than house of industry where all the proper
restraints could be enforced the needed moral
and physical influences be brought to bear
upon each patient, and the labor Of his hands
be applied to defraying the expenses OF the
institution. This would accomplish at once
three very important objects, to witt would
relieve society from a nuisance, subject per-
son who cannot control himself to wholesome
reformatoIy government, and relieve the pub
lie from one principal source Of the heavy
charges now imposed on it for the support in
almshouses, prisons, and hospitals of the
thousands of individuals whom habits OF in
temperance have either Immediately or in
some indirect manner thrown into such
places. The matter is now attracting the
earnest attention of eminent professional men
enlisting much sympathy in this country.
The Asylum for nebriates at Binghamton,
New Iork-one of the most magnificent
institutions of its kind in the world-contains
several thousand patients, and yet has more
applications for admission than it can accom-
modate. Philadelphia has won an enviable
reputation for many valuable measures OF
Improvement with regard to prison discipline
and other charitable objects. 1t ought not,
therefore, to be behind other cities in making
suitable provision for the reformation OF
class of unfortunates and an evil which rise,
in their claim upon charitable sympathy and
legislative concern, far above most other mat
ters which have already received the care of
statesmen and the bounty of private benevo-
lence.
