root wav and in a manner which would sat
isfv and convince the public. It's examination
was made on a fxod and carefully elaborated
plan to test the legal issues involved, and the
truth of charges previously put forth by
former employees of the Asylum. To have
bribed two physicians to certify falsely
bis madness would have been to provo
only that there were rogues IN the
profession hence it wasi decided to feign
insanity and test the scientific knowledge of
the committing physicians. Two reputable
physicians, medical student, .and profess
sional nurse, pronounced the man ga violent
climatic, dangerous to himself and Others
1t was charged that strangers to patients
sometimes committed them. 1t was therefore
decided that absolute strangers should be en-
mitted men without examination. The JUS
tice who sent our reporter to Blooming
dale never saw him at all, and does
not know the names of the persons or
physicians who made the application. The
Governor of the Asylum to whom application
was made for admission declared that the
physicians at the Asylum would receive no
patient without his Endorsement. 1t was
therefore decided to avoid this Governor alto
gether, and in spite of the strict regulations
the physician in charge received the
patient. and without even asking the name
of one of the gentlemen committing mm'
and after an examination OF less than
one minute, consigned him to the
ward for excited patients. The reporter was
directed to study carefully the character OF the
attendants and physicians, the condition OF
the apartments, nature Of the general treat
ment, whether cruel or kind, the character
of the meals supplied, and to obtain the
statements of any persons whom he mad
reason to think sane. 1t was also charged
| that the physicians connived at the re-
moyal of patients for whom writs Of habeas
had been procured, having some means
of communication with the Court by which
thew were advised in advance of such pro-
ceedings. 10 test this question writ Of
habeas corpus was served, but the prisoner
had not been removed, and 10 suggestion
was made of removal. But strenuous efforts
to keep the matter from the courts were made,
and finally with success.
The detailed story Of these adventures to
be told by the reporter will be plain, un-
vanished tale, without reservation of names
or facts and we are sorry to say that it will
be adverse to the institution, and reflect pain
fully on the law of commitment and its ad-
ministration in this city.

newspaper-and if that could justify Gaming,
John Thomas's skin would all. have been
caned off long ago. Yet so little idea have
this man and the party for whom he speaks
of the true principles of republican govern
ment and the responsibilities Of President,
that they imagine the army of the United
States has right to usurp the functions Of a
constable and justice of the peace, because
two or three men have got into street fracas.
And the worst of it is that Grant is very
much of the same mind.

INGDALE asylum.

4 GENUINE INVESTIGATION OF BLOOM
INGDALE ASYLUM.
On August IA, julius Chambers, a reporter
of THE TRIBUNE, was consigned to Bloom
ingdale Lunatic Asylum by regular process of
law, and was placed by the Assistant Physi-
clan in charge in the wards for excited pa
tients, being thought dangerous maniac
At the end of week he appeared (by in
struction from this ofice) to be so much i'm
proved that he was removed to the ward for
quiet patients, and encouragement was held
out by the same physician that in six or
seven weeks he might be discharged. On
Saturday last, after a writ of habcas corpus
for his release had been served Dr. David
T. Brown, Superintendent of the insti-
tuition. talked with him for an hour
or two and, being familiar with the disease
which he simulated, at once saw that the re-
porter was sane. On Monday, at the earnest
solicitation of the physician and the legal ad-
wiser of the Asylum consent was given that he
be released without further public legal pro-
ceedings. Yesterday, however, Mr. John d..
Townsend, in whose name the application for
release was made, explained in the Supreme
Court his connection with the case and the fact
that the person committed was reporter of
this paper.
The reporters story of his incarceration in
the Asylum will be told in detail in to-mor-
rows TRIBUNE, accompanied by his sworn
affidavit of the truth of all he states.
In making this investigation of this institu-
ton, THE TRIBUNE was prompted by no

1t is cphered out by The Philadelphia Age that it
costs the Government 500 per diem to furnish clerks
to do the writing for the Campaign Central Com
mittee and to compose ready-made editorials for
tho country press. The fact simply stated is that
the country is paying the expenses of the Grant and
Wilson campaign everywhere. We are told with a
good deal of swelling arrogance that the business
men are all on tho Grant side which is very far in
decd from being true; but if the Grant party is 80
wonderfully rich, we think it should pay its own
expenses, and not saddle them upon the United
States Treasury. There is nothing in the Constitu
ton which requires to reeeot the Doctor though

Archbishop Of Baltimore was erroneous, and there
is now authority for announcing that the vacant see
has been filled by the promotion of the Right Rev.
