THE OVERTURNED AMERICAN BRAIN.

Statistics show that in no country is insanity from
over mental exortion so frequent as in the United
States How far our atmosphere stimulates the brain
to work, and how far our political institutions, by
opening IN equal career to ALL increase competition
and contribute to this result cannot easily be de-
termnel-nor what other causes lead to 1t; but let
the fact be recognized and guarded against.
If the events of the last four years have accelerated
this tendency It is no more than might be expected
and gigantic Civil War, demanding IIercuean labors
at the desk may number its victims there as well as
on the battlefield Nor is this labor concluded when
insurgents have laid down their arms. The tax on
the brain which Reconstruction" demands, is as
wearing and as ezhaUstng perhaps, as was the Work
when battles were being lost or won.
Probably, the people at distance little realize the
intense mental excitement constantly pressing upon
their chief men in Washington. If they did, they
might DO more patient with their shortcomings. 1t

He replied, Prom o'clock in the morning until ii

orders TO admit no one still there somebody with
him talking all the time" Making allowance for

condition fail to reflect other minds, and cease to
haze one Of lis ownl Absolute moral and mental
responsibility may grow out Of such relations.
There is another man who has had the whole War
power of the Nation to guide and direct and he has
won general gratitude By the skill with which he
has managed IL but individuals think that they have

Of Juggernaut. l. this to be wondered at under the

AN APPEAL TO THE LEGEsLATURE
FOR RELIEF.

This DAY. we trust the Assembly will be asked to
lay the Ak TO the root Of the upas tree Of Municipal
corruption and plumber in our City. We pray every
member who does not steal himself, nor approve Of
stealing by Others, to help u.s.
What is asked is an amendment 10 our Tax.Levy
whereby six leading Democrats and six eminent Re-
pubcanS shall be designated to meet and appoint five
Commissioners TO constitute a Board of Finance
for our City, who shall have complete control
over the expenditure of money by our City Councils
and Board Of Supervisors. This Board of Finance is
to have no patronage aud no power to spend money;
but is TO have ample power to regulate limit and veto
expenditures by all our Municipal authorities. It
may, with the concurrence Of the Mayor aud other
heads of the present Municipality reduce e1orbitant
salaries and abolish useless offices; it may ap-
pointees of the Municipal Boards for malfeasance
and no tax is 10 be imposed, no donation made and no
large contract made binding the City without its
express approval II may investigate the official con-
duct of any Municipal functionary, and inquire into
every department Of Municipal administration.
No contract can be made on behalf Of the City for
more than year, nor involving larger sum than
$4,000, nor any extra allowance DO made to con-
tractor without its express sanction. 1t authorised
to contest corrupt or collusive Judgments obtained
against the City 1t takes the place Of The Recorder in
the Board which makes contracts for Street Cleaning,
and forms, with the Mayor, Controller, and Recorder
the Commission having charge Of the Sinking Fund.
Such are the main provisions of tho amendment
whereby leading citizen of both parties ask the
Legislature to save our City from the aood-tdo Of
corruption, sxtrssagance and robbery which threat
ons it at once with the. complete -debauchery of
its public morals and the bankruptcy of its finances.
