KATE SpEAGuE's New LrFE.-The
Milwaukee Sentinel, writing of Mrs.
Sprague, daughter Of the late Chief
Justice Chase, says: The sorrows that
came to her were felt by all, and no
woman has ever descended SO grace
fully from the dizzy heights Of for
tine as She. called in the hey-day of
her prosperity the Queen of Ameri-
can society, she is in adversely still a
queen. Whom the order was issued
by the Holts of New York, for the
seizure of Senator sprague's property,
of course the family residence was
taken. Mrs. Sprague, with her charm
ing children, gathered up her person
al belongings, in the ehars of pic
lures, statuary, &c., and moved to-
Edgewood, the late residence of her
lamented father, and there in great
seclusion she lives. Her luxurious
carriage has given way to little
rockaway, and her retinue Of servants
has been reduced to four. We saw
her the other evening at charitable
entertainment. She wore deepmourn-
ing; her face was pallid and care
worn, but her smile was just as sunny
and her voice was just as CHEEKY as,
when there was nothing but peace
and wealth about her.

The campaign is over, the elections
have been held, the result Las been
announced, and we draw lons
breath as our eyes run down the list
of our triumphs. It has been a hard
fought field and it is a great and a
glorious victory-so great, indeed,
that we can hardly realize that it is
all true. Its a crushing defeat and.
a terrible rebuke to those,who would.
fasten upon us the provisions of the.
infamous Civil Rights bill. Whether
Summers legacy will follow in the
retiring footsteps of Canby's legacy,
remains to be seen. It is a fearful
warning that North Carolina and
Tennessee and Kentucky have given
to the fanatics of the North and it
remainsto be seen whether it will be
appreciated as such or whether it
will be ascribed to local differences"
in each Of these States.
With us here in North Carolina the
result has been as gratifying as it has
been stnpendous, and its benefits are
yet to be reckoned upin the future.
White men most certainly now have
the upper hand in the councils of the
State, and when the new Legislature

Frank MaIWorih Insane.

At half past Q O'CLOCK Thursday
morning a reporter mat Frank Wal
worth on State street, Auburn, 60
ing north, toward Wall street, with
a bundle in his arms, suppos d to
contain his luggage. He disappeared
around the corner on his way to tbs
State Asylcm, to which he is TRAYS
ferred by order Of the Board of IN
spectors, on recommendation Of the
State Commissioner in Lunaey, Dr.
Ordronaux. In December last the
Commissioner examined Walworth,
and reported him as. an cpileptic sub
ject, recommending that he be as
signed to the prison hospital as an
attendant, i'll order that he might be
under the eye of the physician. The
transfer from State shop to hospital
was effected, and Frank Aeshed' up
for a time, but finally began to fall
away, while hiq epilsptic symptoms
are reported to have increased to
such an extent that his mind was in
danger of becoming hopelessly affect
ed. At the last regular visit of in
- .on here, on Monday last, DR..
,naux, in company with DR.. ].
ltton, Physician of the prison,
0r. j. W. Wilkie, Superinton-
of the asylum, made a rigid ex-
sstion of Walworth's case, occu-
q. two hours in the investigation.
ssult was an application to In.
r Graves for transfer to the
IN, on the ground that Frank
;. not be saved from falling into
ented state Of menancho1ia by
inuance in hospital, where the
ar influences, including the
Of sickness and suffering, failed
g = the beneficial effect formerly
aated by his removal from the
. which he had originally been
I'd. Walworth was accordingly
= ,sr I'd, Thursday morning, to the
State Asylum, and was sent over in
,harge Of Hospital Keeper Holmes.
It is quite probable that further eff.
'ofts will be made on behalf of the
Eoung parricide, with view to his
inal removal from the asylum to a
private institution, or a full pardon. |
