The Cure of .InebrIates--.Letter from
DIR. Day.

The Cure of ,Inebriates---Isetter from
DIR. Day.
The following note from DIR. Day, Su-
perinteudent of the New York State
InebrIate Asylum, was addressed to the
editor of the Binghampton Republican:
NEW YORK STATE ISEBRIATE ASYLUM,
.t BISGHAMPToN,S Sept q, 1867.
SIR: l notice in your paper of last
evening an item in which l am called
upon for an opinion on IL subject with
which it is presumed / am familiar.
During the last ten Years l have had
under my care over $500 cases of ine-
briefly, in all its various forms and con-
ditions. More than 400 of these had
delirium in its various stages. In the
first years of my connection with the
asylum for the treatment of their cases
embraced the common error that IL
quor could not with safety be entirely
withdrawn from the habitual dIinker.
Alter two or three years of observation,
l found this was an error, and that
the pathology of drunkenness was not
well understood by medical men gen.
orally, particularly those who had ven
tured to write books on the subject.
found on trial that my patients did
much better by Withdrawing alcohol
altogether, never allowing even alCO-
holic tinctures of any kind to be given.
Since l have been connected with this
institution (abOut five months) / do
not think have given one drop of alcO-
hol in any shape to a patient. do not
keep il here, because ! think IL is sell
dom if eyer needed, and more than
this, 1 consider it dangerous to con-
tinue lis suse in these cases even in
small doses. Permit me to state one
case. A man may habitually drink his
quart or more of liquor per day, as
most habitual drinkers do. Conflne
such a man in some place and put him
upon an allowance of one half his
usual quantity, and he will suffer more
than he will to cut him OF entirely. L
have tried this in large number OF
cases and have satisfied myself from
actual observation. or course these
sufferers are found in all our reforma-
tory and correctional institutions,
as well as in private practice. They
are usually found in u deplorable con-
dition when medical aid is sought.
They should be treated in the most
skillful manner and faithfully nursed.
their blood is poisoned, which, no
doubt Is the cause OF the alarming and
dangerous symptoms we meet with in
the debauched drunEard. The symp-
toms in the advanced stages of such
cases are not unlike cases of narcotic
poisoning from opium, coninm. can
nRba, indica and other such poisoning
drugs. They do not need the sane
drug to cure when poisonous doses
have been taken, even though admin
istersd in infinitesimal doses. But,
sirs, IL is not my intention to discuss
this question here. / only state briefly
and hastily the result OF my observa-
ton on this single point OF "Iapering
off, the drunkard, we hear so much
ahSIit these days. Absolute abstin-
ence will cure the inebriate; nothing
short OF it will keep him cured after he
is raised up from a life of inebriety and
degradation. Very respectfully yours,
ALBERT Day, SiIpeTinte,ide1t.

A DROP of human blood placed un-
der Il microscope magnified twenty
million times, would show all kinds OF
animals that ever existed, or now ex-
ist, upon the earth. So says German
professor. In the blood of a healthy
person the animals are quiet-in that OF
a sick person they fight. The natural
German conclusion from all this is that
man has within him all the elements OF

GENERAL LOGAN has delighted the
Buckeyes in his stumping tour through
Ohio. wherever he has gone he has
been greeted with enormous crowds.
In one of his meetings he related the
following anecdote TO illustrate the one
ness of Northern Copperheads and
Southern rebels.
At Kenesaw Mountain we had in our
command an Irisbman by the name of
Jimmy. They had great many Irish
men on the other side. We had lit
tie truce there, and the men on both
sides were allowed to talk together
awhile. Jimmy recognized in one of
Paddy, and says he "What the d-l
are you doing on that side ?" Says
Paddy, "What the ID are you doing
on that side ?" "Why this is the side
of the government, sure" says
Jimmy, "I am on the loyal side"
"Aint that the Abolition side? ? Bedad,
and Pm on the DimOcratic side any
howl" [Cheers. He was satisfied that
he wus on the side he had always voted
on, and that he was still following in
the ranks OF his party.
The perfect accord of the Northern
Democracy with their Southern breth-
rem, in their course when they went oil
in secession, was pointedly and humor-
ousiy described thus
AS they left the halls of the national
Legislature, and their seats in
Buchanan's Democratic Cabinet Floyd
carrying with him all the government
treasure he could lay hands on-nnd
sang: -.......--
"This is the way we long have sought,
And muurnsd because we found 1t not.
And about the same time, of here i'll
Ohio, might have been seen Nallan-
digham, Thurman, Pendleton, and 9TH
ers of the brethren, looking Southwark
and saying:

Wilkes Spirit Of the Times says that
the famous racing horse Dexter, which
was bought by Bonner of the Ledger
for thirty-three thousand dollars, was
the cheapest horse at that money that
ever was purchased. In estimating his
value we must consider what he was
worth 10 horsemen. He was the means
of acquiring boundless fame and of
earning money enough for the full en-
ioyment of it. The year he was pur-
chased by TrusselI. his earnings, clear
of all erpeRSeS, amounted to So, 900.
This year, up TO the time of his dellV-
ery, he had earned 500. 100. His owner
received twO-tI'irds of the last, clear OF
all expenses. IL appears, then, that the
net income derived from Dexter in
about year and u half was S3I, 900.
Now, we should like some OF the tine
old capitalists and cunning young
tinancierS who think that Dexter was q
dear horse, to take II slate and pencil
and calculate whether source OF in
come amounting to more than so, 900 n
year, and likely to endure for at least
half dozen years, was worth SIS, 900.
Mr. Bonner wanted Dexter, and the
worth oil the horse to the man that had
him is TO be estimated in considering
the price. The truth is that this horse
occupied a position no horse ever at
tanned to before in regard TO money
value. To own the generality OF trot-
ting horses for public purposes is
enough to break bank. To own DeX-
ter was to gain money enough TO start
one.

THE Democrats are placed in very
awkward position by the warmth with
which General Sheridan has every
where been greeted. His reputation as
soldier prevents them from abusing
him, and his course in Louisiana is in
the highest degree repugnant to them.
1t is curious to see how the different
Democratic Journals treat the subject ;
one complains that it is tired of all this
pother about generals, another eHtols
his reputation as s"'dier' ana Saya
nothing about politics, while II third Ac-
tnaIIy tries to make out that Sheridan
is against Congress and in favor OF the
policy of the Administration.

The New York Tribune has II sensi-
BILE article on the pending elections, and
one in which the great issues at stake
are adequately stated. We quote its
words, and commend them to the at
tention OF every man: @
Upon the fate of the Republican
party in the approaching elections in
New York aud Pennsylvania hangs
consequences SO vast and important
thatthe mind does not readily grasp al
the dangers of our position. A Demo.
cratic victory in these States would
rouse the dormant energies of the
whole Rebel elementi in the South, and
the entire negro-killing mob ut the
North.
"The people now demand that the
plan of Congress should be fairly tried.
They must reiterate this demand at
the coming elections. Any other result
would summon the elements of the re-
belliou to the control of the Govern
ment-would surrender the South 70 n
worse than Its former despotism and
anarchy. threatening social war oi
races, on the one hand for the restora
ton OF slavery fully abolished, and
on the other for the preservation OF
liberties fairly won. Hand in hand
with this revolution in our reconStruc.
tlon policy would follow national
bankruptcy, the reputation of all
debts, public and private, and the
restoration of all those mAlign and
reckless influences which once so near
Iy effected the dissolution of the Union
itself.
awe should then have Pendletons,
Blacks, and Vallandighams in the Cab
met, and Lees and Beauregards In our
armies. The necks of the Southern
Unionists would be under the feet of y
President who only for time seemed
faithful to freedom, In order to betray
his pledges TO slavery and rebellion,
and who now only cliDgs to slavery and
rebellion from sentiment OF treachery
to freedom. The people are right
Their convictions are strong. There
are only needed, to give expression 10
their will, organization and work."
