After the squabbling aud conten-
tion over The ill-selected location for the
West Tennessee insane asylum st Hum
bOldt, We never expected that the pres
ent commissioners could ever agree upon
a site near Memphis. We therefore
looked for a compromise, such as has at
last been determined upon. On Tuesday,
after sll the sites in this vicinity had
been examined, the board of COM
missicuers met at Bartlett, and
on the fourth ballot decided upon
Brownsville, where, we understand,
there is most eligible location.
While this does not come up to the ex-
pectations Of our people nor meet alI the
requirements Of the asylum, it Is the
best that can be done; and rather than
lose the appropriation, Of which there Is
some likelihood should 3 location not
be determined upon before the legisla-
fure meets, we accept it as a fair COM
promise, satisfied that DIR. Rogers, in
voting for it, has but consulted the best
interests of Memphis. Brownsville is
only couple of hours ride from the
city, and is the capital OF one
of the most flourishing and wealth.
lest counties in West Tennessee, and
with q population Of probably five thou
sand, is remarkable for its spirit and en-
terprise. Perhaps it is not too much to
claim for il q growth, since the war, un-
exsmpicd in towns Of its size in the
south. Il lies on a beautiful site, and is
surrounded by lands OF unusual fertility,
and owns a population that, in all re-
spects, compares favorsbly with any of
like extent in the country. They are
among the best friends of Memphis, and
we do not know any community, after
our own, t0Whom we would more cheer
fully coneede SO rich a plum as this asy-
lum viii prove. We hope, there
fore, that Governor Brown will, at his
earliest convenience, examine the
site selected, and confirm the judgment
OF DR.. Rogers and Colonel Gardner. |
Colonel Day still sticks to Humboldt; /
he il true to his first choice, and we |
honor him for his tenacity and love OF
locality, but he must he careful lest
these qualities merge themselves in stub
b8rnness. The time has come for him TO
yield gracefully, and We hope, instead of
forwarding 8 minority report against it,
he will indorse that Of Colonel Gardner
and DR.. Rogers, and make the selection
OF Brownsville unanimous. As the hest
that can be done under the circum-
stances, We indorse the last report of the
commissioners.

nation is crazy. ] must think the
house has too much common sense

senate's toplofty vaulting and summer
ssulting in negro nonsense, / believe
there is enough common sense in the
house, the President, the supreme court,
or some other power, to save the nation
from the disgrace Of the so-called civil
rights. DO not think the thing can be

The policy il, that the President, or
the party, OF somebody or something
else, must not be disturbed during the
remainder Of this congressional session,

orders from him, might be safely and
wisely countermsnded by an order to
reform the district public schools imme-
diately, and continue them as long as
there is money TO pay teachers-One,
two or three months, as the school fund
may Justify. The schools were suspend
ed several months before at the close Of
four months term, because there was
not sufficient funds in the treasury to
continue them through the five months
contracted for. The people came to the
rescue and continued the schools as pri
vate OF subscription schools, in nearly
every instance. Now that there is
money sufficient, would it not be better
for tie directors 10 come 10 the relief Of

former decision in the bank and insur-
anee tax cases, and holds that the shares
Of the stockholders are suhlect TO an al

The following is one out of the many
examples of the sufferings to which the
poor of Philadelphia are subjected this
winter. Late Sunday afternoon, the at
tention of Officers Hussey and Ruther-
ford was directed to the case of a widow,
Mrs. Stinson, who, with four children,
the eldest of whom is but 6 years, occu-
pied small room in the rear OF No.
zoos Heaborne street. The room was In
a wretched condition, with window-panes
ont doors cracked, and without furni-
ture or fire. When visited, the family
we're found huddled in corner almost
in state of nudity, half frozen and nigh
dead with hunger. They had not eaten
for several days, and the unfortunate
mother prayed for death to relieve her
self and little ones from their terrible
sufferings. They were relieved by a
charitable association.-Erch0nge.
