Fred. Douglas says: "The act by
which the negro was made citizen of
the United States and invested with
the elective franchise was prominently
the act of President U. S. Grant, and
this is nowhere seen in the Lincoln

rising, is still on his knees and nude.

OH him on account Of the sores with
which he was covered. Witness thought
the sores were caused by rolling upon the
stone floor; the poor, crazy, helpless old
General didn't know enough to lie on his
mattress. Gen. Howard called to see him
once, but was told that he was asleep.
Witness had often seen attendants KICK
patients, and was blamed by tho others
for not taking hand; supervisor
named Leonard once struck patient, and
broke his jaw; witness knew of their
keeping persons there for years after they
were well. Witness knew of patient
entirely sane being kept there for Tour
teen years. Witness suggested his escape,
and he made it.
DR.. Nichols, who has had entire con-
troll of this institution, for about twenty
years, offers, in the reputation he has
obtained through the pending investi-
cation, fine illustration Of the disas-
trous effects of bad associations. He
was originally chosen to this position, it
is said on account of his reputation for
beDevolence but no sooner did he fall
into the hands of the District Ring, and
become an intimate friend aud associate
of the members of that body, than his
benevolence seems to have changed to
the grossest inhumanity and his desire
to sustain professional reputation APP
pears TO have yielded to the seductive
Influences of speculation. Like too many
otbers-the Babcocks and Belknaps,for
example-he thought only Of rivalling
Boss Shepherd in the splendor and mag.
niicence OF his manner Of living, aud
kept up that style Of thing, without In
Permission, the Government furnishing
the funds, until the present investigation
was instituted, which brought him to

BRAVE ACT OF AN ENGINEER.
land (Vt.) Herald : A few days ago as
an excursion train of eighteen heavily
loaded cars on the Vermont division Of
the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad
had begun the descent of heavy grade
between St. Johnsbury and the Con-
necticut River, the engineer suddenly
deserted three cattle upon the track just
in advance of him. To drive or brighten
them from the track, or to seasonably stop
the train, was impossible. Instantly he
decided upon his course. He sent his
fireman to disconnect his engine and
tender from the train, whistled .'down
brakes" and, with full steam on plung-
ed forward alone, and with the fearful
impetus thus gained threw the cattle
from the track. He then quietly allowed
the train to overtake him again, connect
ed it and continued on, his passengers
knowing nothing of the fearful danger
they had escaped by this bravery, his
quick wit, and his fidelity to duty.
