THE LUNA7TC ASYLUM.

AS we anticipated, the present Legisla-
ture has not spared the Lunatic Asylum.
If there be one institution in the State
which, moro than another, should have
been left under its former Board of
Regents, that institution is the asylum
for the insane. A regard for the insane
for those unfortunate beings deprived Of
rcason-has always been considered a
feature Of an advanced civilization. A
becoming consideration for this class
should have led the Legislature to with
hold such shock to tho sensibilities of
the insane ns such Board as the one
elect is calculated to give. What Cover
nor Scott shrank from doing, his Legis.
lature has done. They have laid their
hands upon an institution peculiarly
delicate. The Board of Regents consist
ing Of gentlemen Of character and com
manding tho confidence OF tho State
have been removed, and regency com
posed mostly of colored men, and Others
equally untitled for their parts, have
been elected. We deem this an outrage
But it is no moro than is to be expected
When acts like this are committed, We
hope that one good effect. at least, mn,
be realized-to make every good mar
realize tho necessity Of promptly dis
placing regime which, in South Caro-
lima, thus violates sonsibilities and out
rages humanity. In the Lunatic Asylum
here, arc over two hundred whites ant
about thirty colored persons.

RISING ABOVE PARTY TO THE
LEVEL OF PATRIOTISM

We do not know much of Captain j.
T.. Bryant, who seems to be tae leader of
the moderate Republicans in the Geor-
gia Legislature; but, judging from the
remarks attributed to him, rs appended,
he presents himself to us rs q man who
is capable Of rising above party to the
level of patriotism. A caucus of all the
conservative members of the Georgia
Legislature having been assembled,
Captain j. f. Bryant was called to the
chair. The Augusta Conshiutionalisi re-
ports his remarks, as follows:
'He thanked the meeting for the
~. !Y75n him by calling
him to the chair This was time when
men who love their State should unite to
save t State from bankruptcy and
ruin. His position was we'll known; he
had been Union soldier; was North
rrn man by birth-a Republican dyed in
the wool; he had never cast any vote
bnt for Republican ticket, and never
expected to; was we'll known rs friend
of the colored people-had battled for
Their rights, and now stood where he
had always stood. But this was q time

was, against men who, he believed, in
tended to rob the State; it was not q
contest of Democracy against Republi-
canism; it was contest of the people
against bad mon; he stood with the
people against these bad men; he called
upon all good men, regardless of color or
political prejudices, to unite.
'.Mr. Bryant closed by advising calm
action. lie said, let us be sure we are
right. and then net prudentIv bnt
firmly. He advised tho appointment of

correspondent Of tho Boston Irnn-
script records the fact that he saw the
planet on Friday, the 7th, at l o'clock in
the afternoon. He also says that on
Sunday, the 9th, it was about midway
between the sun and the moon, and that
by observing its position with regard to
the moon in the evening, it can easily be
fonnd'at noon
Tho. samo observer mentions having
seen the star ut noon-day, about eighteen
months ago-in Jnly, 1868-when it was
more brilliant than it is at the present
time. We think he must have been mis-
taken as to the exact time, for we saw it
on the 10th of June, of the same year.

TIE JERSEY "BABEs IN THE WooD."
On New Years Day three children, sons
of Mr.. Joseph Wyhle, respectable
laboring man, residing near Pompton,
i'll Passaic County, N. j., mt the base of
the Wynockle Mountain, left home for
the purpose Of "going nuttipg" in tho
woods on the mountain. 1t was +
o'clock when they left home, so that
their failure to return before nightfall
occasioned but little alarm. After that
however. their continued absence rem
dered the distracted parents almost
frantic. The fearful rain. storm which
prevailed during the night and part of
next day fearfully intensified the feelings
Of the bereaved father and mother, III
asmuch as their little darlings had not
yet been seen nor heard from. On Mon
day search was made by number of
the country people, but nothing could
be discovered Of the whereabonts Of the
missing children, whose ages were re-
spectively ten. seven and fve years.
The entire neighborhood ut length
joined in the search, and it was not till
Tuesday last that the mystery was
solved. The innocent trio were found
lying dead, side by side, on the South
side OF the mountain, somo ten or eleven
miles from their home. It was quite
thickly covered with timber where the
bodies were discovered. From the ap-
pearance of the latter it is thought that
the children existed for several DAYS on
the nuts they had gathered previous to
being benighted. and having lost their
way were overtaken by physical exhaus-
ton and starvation, which resulted in
denth. The bodies were removed to the
home OF their heart-broken parents, for

Pretextfor Martial Law.

HARRISON REED, Governor of Florida,
who recks with corruption from the tips
of his thievish fingers to the core Of his
malicious heart, threatens to crush the
people of his State under military law.
The reason which he advances for this
act Of despotism is, to use his language,
'.the singularly large number of mur-
aers and outrages which have been per
petrated, and have gone unpunished,
arithia the last eighteen months
This same carpet-bagging scamp in
his message to the Legislature, last JAN
uary, said: hs
During no period in The history Of
the State has there been more marked
Improvement and general prosperity
than in the year just passed, and laeuer
haze The ldos been more generally and ef-
.Jfcientiy executed" y" 9''5k
He thus burns the brand Of falschood
upon his own forehead. He simply in
tends to overawe voters BY military
power and has not wit enough to con-
ceal his villainy.
