E( CENTRICITY.

The following singular instance Of &C.
ceutricity. illustrating the close eon"ec.
tion of ,ne mind with insanity, Is related
bv Professor Hau mund in his wolk on the

A lady had, sir ce her childhood, shown
a sing ularity of conduct as regarded her
table furniture, which she would have OF
no Other material than copper She car
ried this fancy to such an extent that even
the knives were made of copper. People
laughed at her, aad tried to reason her
out If her whiu, but in vain. In no other
respcct was there any evidence Of menta!
alteration She was int lligent. by no
ne,1s txcii2bie An uLtle lad. h' W
ever, died insane. A trfing circum
stance started in her a new train OF
though and excited emotions which she
could not con'roI. She read in the morl-
ing paper that Mr. K"pperman had ar
rived at the hotels, aud. she anrounce d
her determina4i u to call on him. i.er
friends endeavored to dis>uade her. but
without avail. She went to the hotel aud
was told that lie had jus. left for Chicago,
and actually started ou the next train for
that city. The telegraph, however, over
took her, and she was brought back from
Rochester raving of her love for man she
had never seen and whose name alune had
been associated in her with her fancy for
copper table furniture. She died OF acute
mania within a month.

ferrous idea, implying an Incredible
stretch of public patience - that they
should not only be left in quiet posses
sion, but should have unlimited swing
and license to repeat with aggravations,
and with exasperating variations, all
that they have been doing amiss-dis-
gracing the name of the State, tramp
ling upon the decencies of official sta
tion, polluting with the Shiny trail of
corruption all the approaches of legisla-
tion, all the avenues of public affairs,
and scoffing at the miseries, spurning the
demands, defying the wrath of the peo-
pie?
And shall there be no manful attempt
to put an end to this nightmare domin-
ion and this anaconda coil and grip of
suffocating wrong and infamy Shall
this fair State relapse into jungle, where
human vice and lawlessness will divide
empire with the wild beasts? Shall this
once queenly city, bereaved of her man
hood, widowed and desolate, sink, as by
Internal enchantment, into styglan pool
for all venomous reptiles and all loath-
some monstrosities to knot and gender
in? No! By the Almighty majesty of
eternal justice, no!
There is life in the outraged State yet.
There is manhood to stand up for the
wronged city yet. It has not been hois-
ferrous and brawling. Quiet and self
contained, it was not needless or apathe-
! tic, not dead, or deaf, or dumb; it has
bided its time, and treasured up its
wrath This wrath has been fed alike
by the indirect and immediate inflictions
of an atrocious misrule. The sob of the
wan and puny babe at the breast of the
poor mans haggard wife, the sigh of the
pale, careworn widow, the hungry eyes
of the surviving children, of one who
died vainly struggling for an honorable
livelihood, the ineffable agony in the
face of the honest laborer when his hands
fail to provide adequately for his hearts
treasures at home - such sights and
sounds as these, traeeable to the crimes
of misgovernment, are silently recorded
in the awful account of final reckoning
not less than the broader and louder
evils in. general depression of business
and industry.
And when is the hour to sound for this
final reckoning? There are signs abroad
which some construe to herald its neal
approach. But it would seem that the
public malefactors. like Belshazzar al
his profane banquet, believe in no signs
1t would seem that, infatuated and be-
sotted. they are bent on defying both di-
vine and human displeasure, and thai
only earthquake, or lightning, or whirl'
wind of fire, could put stop to theil
obscene orgies.-N. O. Picayune.

With the exception of lucrative fell
ony and diurnal calumny in the pre-
tended character of a public journal
the mouthpiece that pipes to the humor,
the prehensile puppet that gathers for
the greed, of it's Executive master-the
other daily papers of this city have come
to be unanimous with the Picayane in
expressing the anger that begins to stir
in all honest breasts, even in the coolest
and most peaceful, at the ffagltious con-
tumacy of the Governor and his snbser-
Went Assembly in trifling with the vital
question of reform.
It is too late for these men to invoke
the maxim applied to the Roman Senate,
that the Fathers are not willing to be
urged, and must be left to do what should
be done upon their own motion. They
have been left to themselves long enough,
and far too long, and instead of gratious-
ly conceding reform in any sort or any
degree, have been studious only to null
tiply abuses and corrnptions in all possi-
BILE shapes and directions.
And who are they that they should 60
on with impunity as they have been go
ing-that they should claim an internin-
able charter to indulge in rapine and
profigacy, with nothing to check and
none to make them afraid?
Not to dilate upon an infamous and
sickening story, it is now as clear as
MONDAY, and was indeed little doubted
from the first, that these men acquired
their places by fraud and usnrpatior
nracticed under color of iniquitous laws
designed for such purpose. NO othe'
tenure, no other title have they.
It il not enough that they should %
allowed simply to hold those places II
peace until Che time arrived for repia
cling them without going beyond tf1t
forms Of existing laWsi In fact, ls thal
not far too liberal bargain for them
And is it not too much, then-a prepos
