The Belgian Government has made
a very proper regulation for the recep-
ton of the complaints of persons con
fined in lunatic asylums. Safely shut
letter.boxes, accessible to all the pa
tents, but over which the superinten-
dants have no control, are placed in all
asylums, and Il messenger of the Procu-
reur du Roi gathers the letters placed in
these receptacles each week. This func-
tionary then examines the letters, and
if any case appears to call for attenT
ton, he investigates it. The immediate
occasion Of this reform was the recent
escape of girl from a lunatic asylum
and her delivery of herself at the Office
of the Procureur du Roi of Brussels.
She claims not to have been insane at
at all and to have met with very bad
treatment in her prison. Our Govern
ment might very well initiate this action
of the Belgian Government, as there are
voices doubtless in many of our asylums
which should be heard.

SYDNEY SMITH thought moral respon-

eighty-fve. This may account for some
of the dreadful things the Grant papers
print But it is evident that perspira-
ton and inspiration do not 90 well to-
gether, and even wit refuses to keep, and
humor melts when the thermometer
reaches one hundred and two. If any
one suspects a paper of the least ten
dency to dizziness, let him imagine him
self trying to be witty and wise.in an
atmosphere that presses upon him like a

THE CONTEST IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The situation in North Carolina is
correctly told by contemporary; On
Thursday, the first day of August,
Governor, Legislature, and members OF
Congress are to be chosen in North Car
olina. This is the first State to vote al
ter the Baltimore Convention; and be-
cause of the influence the result will
naturally exert upon the Presidential
campaign, both parties are doing their
best to carry the State. In 1868 Grant
cot majority of IL, 1876 in North Caro-
lima. In 1870, Ship, the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General, the
only State officer of any consequence
who ran. obtained a majority of 1926;
and in 1871, in contest respecting
a revision of the State Constitution,
the Democrats sank into minority OF
9345. This, SO far as the last three cleo
tons are concerned, shows that the
GRANTEES have decided advantage in
the pending struggle. The Admins
tration has also marked advantage in
another important particular The op-
position candidates for Governor and
for Congress we're placed in nomination
before the Baltimore Convention was
held, and they are all Democrats. Hav-
ing been put on the track without refer
ence to the Liberal Republican move
ment, and before the acceptance Of DR..
Greeley by the Baltimore Convention,
they are regarded rather as Democrats
than friends of Greeley, though all Of
them probably yield assent to the pro-
ceedings at Baltimore. Nevertheless, 1t
will be seen at glance that the power
ful influence Of DR.. Greeleys name and
merits can be felt in the pending cam
paign only in a remote and indirect way.
This will no doubt make it very difficult
to draw from the Grant candidates in
this mere local struggle any cousidera-
BILE number of the colored vote; whereas
in November, after DR.. Greeleys anti
slavery record shall have been recited in
the hearing of the negro population OF
North Carolina, a large proportion OF
them will no doubt bestow their sufra-
ges upon their early and faithful friend.
Moreover, in the matter of party ma
chinery and the sinews Of war, the
GRANTEES are immeasurably superior to
their opponents. The Democrats are
poor. They have been taxed to the
bone by Grants carpet-baggers, and
fight empty handed. The Administra-
ton is flooding the State with money to
keep the negroes in line, and buy up the
clay eaters of the mountains and the
swamp angels Of the coast. The Dem.
ocrats have no patronage to bestow,
while the legions of Grant are mar
shalled by powerful array of unseru-
pulous ofice-holders, who draw fat ra-
tons from the national treasury. With
these advantages in his favor, the result
viii be accepted as sure premonition
of the loss Of the State in November,
unless Grant carries it in August by at
least 10000 majority. On the other
hand, if the Democrats succeed in elect
ing their ticket it will practically settle
the Presidential contest in favor of DR..
Greeley, for it viii prove that he viii
carry every Southern State in Novem-
Der, with the possible exception Of South
Carohns.

In some parts Of the West the people
are beginning to realize the Importance
of forest culture. The Kansas Pacific
Railroad Company have offered an ex-
cellent example in regard to the matter
by setting out trees on both sides Of
their track, and in places which seem
available for settlements. No one can
doubt that they will be well repaid for
their labors in this direction, and it is
gratifying to know that the foresight dis
played by them has stimulated settlers
to engage in the same work. Eventually
the company will indirectly realize great
benefits from the improvements set on
foot through the judicious enterprise of
its managers.

The indignant signers of the indig-

mary election is worthy of support, the

OOnIxItng's speech in Defense of
JTW Ihe Administration.


New YoRK, July 24.-The newspa-
pers all comment on Conkling's speech
at Cooper Institute last night. RI =
The Herald thinks the speech was un-
foatunate in so far as it failed to meet
expectation on several points on which
explanation of the position of the ad-
ministration was expected particularly
our foreign policy and Southern affairs.
The Times considers the speech full
and complete reply to the charges
brought against the administration and
against Conkling personally. .9
The Tribune editorially says that all
the Senators and newspapers defending
the President are laboring under that
depression of spirits which finds utter
ance in abusive language, but the cam
paign has hardly shown more violent
exhibition of anger and apprehension
than Conkling's trade last night. 1t
had the natural divisions-one-half lyric
expressions of homage to the President,
and the other furious denunciations OF
his opponents and critics. ha

In the year 1869, during the judicial
election, and under the regime of Sheriff
Curry, negro prisoners in the county
jail, charged with high crimes, were
brought out by the officials and voted at
the Navy Yard precinct. In this con-
test Messrs. Carruthers and Smith
we're the candidates for Chancellor,
and Hunter and Wallace the candidates
for Judge of the Criminal Court. These
convicts were voted, Notwithstanding the
fact that their votes were challenged.
Probably some enthusiastic friend of
Colonel Curry would like to deny this
statement? If SO, we can furnish the
proof. Should Mr.. Curry be elected in
August next, what guarantee have the
people that the "jail birds" will not
again figure at the polls?
