TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.
From the N. y. Tribune.

Our English exchanges come, to us filed
with indignant attacks upon the present
system of treatment in use in their insane
asylums. Two keepers of the county mad
house at Lancaster have just been sentenced
to seven years penal servitude for the murder
of one William Wilson, who was admitted to
the asylum on December II, and in less than
a week was pummelled and kneaded to death,
his ribs being literally broken into bits under
the knees of his attendants. The Earl of
Shaftesbury, head of the Board of Commits
sioners in Lunacy, calls attention to this, and
to 'the frequent cases of like cruelty and
neglect, in the Times, but without suggest
ing any effeetual remedy. In fact, as the
English journals acknowledge, there is no
remedy so long as helpless idiots and lunatics
are massed together in large asylums, un der
the absolute control of keepers over whom
the surveillance of the law is slight, and
against whose cruelty in such cases as this
there is ordinarily no evidence but that of
the crazed patients, whom fear will keep
silent. A strong feeling is growing up, both
in England and this country against these
enormous madhouses, where, as says the
Examiner, human beings are aggregated to-
eether to be treated like wild beasts, or,
under the mildest treatment to foster and
breed insanity by mere contact. The Lancet
is foremost in denouncing, on medical grounds,
the modern monster asylums The treatment
now practised in Scotland and Belgium is
strongly recommended. In this, 'the patient
is boarded in the country, where he is fur
nished with light employment and surrounded
by sane people; the fever of his blood has
here chance to cool, and CLEANS of the lost

The whole duty of Congressional man, ac-
cording to the theory of Mr.. Greeley and his
disciples in Congress, is, to constantly jigger
and adjust a protective tariff upon the con-
iicting and varying class interests of capi-
talists who have been SO unwise as to adopt
pursuits requiring contribution from the
public in order to enable them to continue
without loss. The duty Of statesman is to
ascertain the amount of these little pecuniary

"sINGLE" SUSAN.

SINGLE" SUSAN.
Prom the NJ Y. Tribune.
As q general rule, peace, sweetness, and
order are never found in their fullness except
at conventions of the Womans Suffrage As
ISOLATION In the meeting last week at Day
ton, Ohio, there was nevertheless painful
scene, which proved that even Miss Anthony
is not exempt from the common passions of
humanity. The usual speeches had been
made, and the usual practical business trans
acted when somebody proposed a vote of
thanks to Miss Susan B. Anthony for her fifty
years of single blessedness, and her twenty
years services in woman's cause" This
graceful compliment, we regret to say, Miss
Anthony declined 90tthOut MGnkS." We
call it graceful for it was well-meant;
yet, after all, it was a little foolish.
In the first place it was unnecessary to
thank Miss Anthony for being fifty years
old, because she could not help it if she tried
ever so hard; and in the second place it was
absurd for party of women to thank her for
remaining single-we will not say because
the gratitude was due rather from the oppo-
site sex, but because such an inordinate pro-
longation of maidenhood is a very bad ex-
ample This seems to have been the
opinion of Mrs. Lvermore, who, in trying
to explain the unfortunate resolution, plainly
told Miss Anthony that she ought to have
married. The excellent spinster replied
with rage, and 'for half an hour denounced
man with bitterness which indicated that
her soul was in it; she ''could not abide the
marriage relation" and she seemed equally
angry with the masculine sex and With the
ladies who had congratulated ker upon keep
ing clear Of it, and complimented her upon
a maturity of which she was supposed to be
proud. The storm was finally allayed by the
adoption of the following proclamation
''The single ladies OF the West enlisted in this
cause would like to tender Miss Susan b. Anthony
a vote of thanks for her recent celebration of her
1fteth bir thday, making single blessedness at
nifty, an honorable position, showing to the world
that single woman can have home and an anni-
versary as well as married people, 1t is decidedly
encouraging ty those who are compelled to remain
single from choice"
We don't see how this mends matters at
all. The Objectionable illusions to Miss
Anthony's age and condition are as plain as
ever and if these single ladies look upon it
as decidedly encouraging that a woman of
Miss Anthony's accomplishments can have
not IAN anniversary" but forty-nine ami
versaries, without being married, we must
emphatically disagree with them. We regard
the case of Miss Anthony as one of the most
discouraging in the whole range of our ex-
perience, and we don't wonder that she got
mad,

thing could be more truthful than this asser-
ton, which shows knowledge of American
politics almost incredible in an Englishman.
The ratification of the fifteenth amendment
worked miracles in politics; 1t suddenly trans
formed the niger into colored man, and
African baboons into intelligent citizens. The
most ardent apologists for slavery are now
the most uncompromising advocates of i'm
partial suffrage. Wendell Phillips occupation
is gone. Nothing is more touching than the
generosity with which the editor of the New
York Express admits that he has been wrong
all his life, and that the negro is not only
his equal, but may even be his su-
perior. Those eloquent articles which
have lately appeared in that paper appealing
to Democrats to forget their prejudices, to
say no more about monkeys of African
descent, to accept the negro as their peer,
have been welcomed with burst of en-
thusiasm by the party. The readers of the
Egpress now declare that they prefer the
smell of the negro to the perfume OF the
roses of Cashmere, and that fiat nose is a
type of higher beauty than the Grecian.

superiority, and three or four genuine freed
men are now employed upon its editorial
staff, especially engaged to write upon South
ern politics. Honorable John Morrissey
would knock any man down who should dare
to deny that Senator Revels is not the equal
of Senator Salisbury, and Salisbury himself

ize his bar. Every day in Broadway we see
white and black men embracing, and if,
sometimes, there is a mistake made in the
sex,it only shows that the millennium of good
feeling is carried to an affecting extreme.
From all these facts it will be seen that the
Pal Mall Gazette is right, and that all preju-
dice against the colored race is forever ended

MRS. LINCOLN's PENSION.

From the N. Y World
There is an unseemliness in the abortive
attempts to procure pension for the widow
of Abraham Lincoln. We suppose few people
care much whether she has q moderate pen
sion or not; but it belittles Congress and dis
parages her to have the subject come up every
session in the form of bill which fails to
pass. If pensions of that kind are inadmis-
sible on grounds of economy, or constitution
ality or any other valid public grounds, the
application ought to have been referred to
respectable committee, and q report made
setting forth the reasons of O refusal, which
could not then be construed as a reflection on
her personal character. She would then be
no longer tantalized with vain hopes of Gov
eminent assistance, and something might be
done for her relief by private iberality. If
the reasons for refusal are not public but per-
sonal, it would have seemed discreet and
delicate for her friends to have ascertained
from the members of both houses, by private
consultation, whether they would vote for
pension, and if majority could not be pro-
cured let the subject quietly drop. If given
at all it should be given with q graceful
appearance of iberality; if refused, no noise
should be made about it.
1t is natural that Mrs. Lincoln should think
she has claims on the nation. The unbounded
eulogies which have been lavished on her
husband as the great martyr of great cause,
and the chief among all the recent benefac-
tors of his country, contrast singularly
enough with the fact that his widow is an un-
successful beggar for a modest pension to
save her from want. Even if the Govern
ment ought not to relieve her, it would seem
strange that she should be left in destitution
Mr.. Stanton ranked far below Mr.. Lincoln
in Republican estimation; but his family
was promptly and amply provided for.
Nobody thought of applying to Congress for
pension, but a hundred thousand dollars
was Immediately raised by subscription.
A sum half as large was raised in
the same way for Mrs Rawlins, although her
husband had never been very conspicuous
except as member of General Grants staff
General Grant himself, and General Sherman,
have received heavy donations; and the pri-
vate hberality of admirers seems more fit
ting way of attesting appreciation and graft
tude than the bestowal of money from the
Treasury, by a stretch of constitutional au-
thority or the charitable fiction of chasing
deceased civilians with men who fell in
battle. If the bill granting pension to Mrs.
Lincoln fails to pass the Senate, we hope no
more attempts of the kind will be made. 1t
ought to be easy to do for Mrs. Lincoln what
has been done for the family of Mr.. Stanton,
by the same method of private subscription,
if there is any sincerity in the abounding
praise which it is the habit of all Republicans
| to bestoW upon her husband.

He voted for David r. Porter, good Demo

supported stakeholder in the person of
James X. Polk, while the abolitionists voted
for James g. Birney. About those times he
was distributing Democratic newspapers
among the laborers on the Portage Railroad,
and charging the subscription price

stantly denounced the abolitionists as
seditious and reasonable in their conduct

breath of abolitionism in the whole of them.
He kept his principles carefully hid about
him until week ago, when he declared to
his negro auditors that he had been an aboli-
ZIONIST from his sixteenth year! This is the
most remarkable instance of lifelong success
in concealing real opinions on the part of a
politician that has ever come under the obser-
vation of the public. Most persons would be
inclined in their indignation to apply some
other term concerning Geary's avowal of abo-
htionism to the negroes, but we put it down
as an example of his most striking and most
familiar Characteristic as an orator and man.

Decrepitude is the natural accompaniment of old
age, but it may be ameliorated, and the period of
entire helplessness long postponed by the judeious
use of a healthful stimulant. Physicians, fully
aware of this fact usually recommend moderate slim
ulation when the strength and vigor of maturity
have been suspended by the feebeness and prostra-
ton which are the inevitable results of declining
years. Port wine gin, brandy. and otherlquors are
often prescribed by medical men for aged persons,
but the impulse which fermented and distilled
liquors give to the circulation and the energy they
seem to impart is transitory, unless the alcoholic
principle is modified and qualified by the presence OF
medicinal tonics and invigorants. OF all the combi-
uatlons of difusve stimuli with the juices of herbs

MIR. EDIToR:-I beg the use of your columns

members OF the Legislature and the public
generally, of the wrong impression likely to
result from perusal of statement made by
MI. Palne, Insurance Examiner, before the
committee on Mercantile Affairs and Insur-
ance.
Inc TACT is that Mr. Paine has not told the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing Init the
truth, IN the matter, but has merely taken STA
tistlcs gathered from the statements of the sew.
eral companies doing business in this State for
the years 1850, as given in his report. and
from these he attempts to prove that "tbe in.
surance business is strictly and emphaticallv
money-making one, and hence reasons that
the companies should not entirely escape tax
alton, as they now do.
1t is not denied that the year 1S6S-69 was one
OF the few successful years for the companies
in this State, but such years are SO few and far
between that it is hardly honest in Mr.. Paine
to attempt to deceive the members of the Leg
islature and the people by such kind OF strata
gem.
In order that you and your readers, and par
tlcularly the members OF the Legislature may
DC undecelved In regard to the money max
ing part OF the business, give you the true
facts of the case, as to gains and losses obtain
ed from figures recently furnished by compa-
mics which for the past ten or fifteen years
have been trying to do a paying business in
Maine, by which it will be seen that the boot
is most decidedly on the wrong leg.
Without attempting to give the names of the
several companies which have suffered largely,

would occupy too much space in your col
