hand very badly. We are pleased to
know, however, that it is not so bad
as was first thought.

The Co,ored snsaue Asv,u,m

The Board of Director of the Insane
Asylum at Raleigh, at a meeting held
Oh the 7th inst, decided, in the adopt
tion of seven whereases and one reso-
luton, to postpone the matter of the
establishment of the Branch Asylum
for the colored insane, provided for
by the act of the recent Legislature,
until the next general meeting of the
Board, to be held In November next.
The reasons Tor this action are that
th, lessee OF the Marine Hospital de-
ciiues to submit the control of the
pr peIty 10 the Board, except on such
conditions as the Board cannot ac-
cept; the insuf1iciency of the appropri-
ate for the proper care of the insane !;
the unfit construction of the building
for the proposed purpose without
constant danger of homicide and sui
cidr," and the want of an appropria-
ton for q change in the arrangement
of the building.

The Path Finder,

A Washington letter presents the fol
lowing sad picture Of one who not man,
years ago stood as the brilliant exempIal
and head of one Of the greatest political
movements Of this age, and of the
grandest idea Of any age. The writer
says:
saw General Fremont in the lobby
of the House yesterday. He is now old
and bent. His face is deeply chi-eled by
the bnrrowing hand of time. His ey, G
are slightly bleary a; cheek bones stood
out as prominent as those of Sioux
chief. lron-gray whiskers, short and
~tnbby, closely trimmed down from the
base Of his jaw bone, grow upon his thin
neck. His dark hair is vet dark i. on
gray and Is worn quite long. Ii is comb,
ed well forward, and hangs down in
front of his cars. A well-worn beaver,
set well back upon his head bright
scarlet comforter, gray tweed light
overcoai, aud n dark suit of undcrrluth-
ing, made up the general articles at his
attire. lie looks like a whimsical, fus>y
old man. and little like the hero of the
Rocky Mountains, whose pictures dur.
ing the Presidential campaign of 1856
always represented him with long curl..
m the garb of "a western froniicrsman.

ment for his past services in the west.

OF testimony too great for any man to read In his
lifetime, and which is concealed from the world

by the oredul0us who accept for tho truth the
pOmpous denials and RrandiOquent statements
or politicians, and In many GASES OF the murderers
and criminals themselves Any one at all familiar
with the evidence that has been taken In regard to
the condition of the South during tho last niue
years must not only know that the tales told were
generally truof but have reason TO believe that the
half has not beon told. But, say those who have
not the hardihOOd 10 deny the truth, whatever may
have taken place In the South the White Leaguers,
the Ku-KluK, and other disturbers OF the peace
have now dsbanded, submitted TO the laws, and
