CHARGED WITH CoRRUPIING SCHOOL,
GIRLS.
Emile kupfOr was stood up to the rail,
charged with indecent exposure to little
girls. His counsel, Me5srs. Beam aud BreIs-
FORD, pleaded mot guilty" aud five little
girls gave positive testimony against him.
According 10 testimony, he has been travel
Ing about town for some time, cutting up his
pranks and poisoning the minds OF little
school girls. His counsel tried hard TO clear
mp these charges against their client, but 1t
was no go; there were too many OF them.
Detective McDevitt and McElfresh hunted
him up and escorted him in yesterday. He
had no particular defense, except as to pre-
vious good character and fondness for
children and a love of rOmping with them
No witnesses were put on for the defense,
and the court said the case was Of that class
which could only be accounted for by moral
Obliquity amounting almost to a monoma-
MA. This exposure OF person to little Gull
dreD was a grave offense. Parents have a
great interest in raising their children in
purity, and nothing but punishment COM
mensurate would answer. This man had
taken advantage of many little children to
cOntamlnate their minds. and he would i'm
pose fine OF Sl00, or 30 days Ia Jail. An
appeal was taken, and bonds were fixed at
$780,

THE UNION LEAGUE.

REVIVAL OF THE OLD WARTIME ORGANIZATION
IT'S ADAPTATION TO THE ISSUES OF THE DAY.
The Executive Committee Of the Council Of the
Union League OF America held meeting yesterday
afternoon at the Asor House, Governor Newell presd-
ing The object Of the meeting was to hear report
from the subcommittee appointed at the meeting OF
the council held at Philadelphia in December last and
TO which intrusted the duty OF framing ritual and
constitution for the League suitable to the require
ments OF the national issues at the present time.
General Ullman, Chairman OF the subcommittee made
partial report and stated that at the next meeting OF
the Executive Committee which is to DO held early in
February the ritual and constitution in completed
state will be ready for presentation.
During the war period the Union League embraced
among its members 5000 600 voters thousands OF
whom men OF prominence in their several dis
tricts The late President Lincoln used TO look upon
the League the civil army for the preservation OF
the Union, and believed IT'S existence 10 be OF equai
necessity with that OF the army In the field The war
being its mission accomplished and has since
lain dormant far as all active work was concerned,
though the Southern States IL has continued in OBJ
Grafton with great advantage in the education OF the
negro population The fundamental principles upon
which the leaders of the organization now see III to
revive founded, IL is claimed, upon the fact that
patriotic spirit is necessary for manifestation in
the present crisis as II when the rebellion broke
out in the Southern States and the life OF the nation
threatened The League now proposes as It's plat
form all the leading issues already astated IN the pub
| lie mind
Fr-I. entirely and unreservedly opposed to third
! term in the Office of President
end-It opposed trade believing In revenue
tariff that win protect the best interests OF the country
ThirI Ia favor OF free schools all over the country
Under this last named head II is proposed 10 secure
amendment to the constitution which shall make II
obligatory each to provide free schools Tor us
children But will be essential feature IN all
legislation in regard to the schools that none OF the
public moneys shall directly or indirectly, be devoted
TO purposes And, lastly II will be cardi-
nal precepl imposed upon every member OF the League
that democrat shall be allowed 10 I'LL the Prcsiden-
tia chair OF the United States
II intended TO operate the League In its revised
form secret organization, and IN tins particular II
will differ its essential features as il existed
during the war. All its workings will be made public,
aud efforts and the means used TO affect public opin-
ion will be open TO fair criticism il is intended TO set

MADHOUSE MANAGEMENT.
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER DR.. oRDRoNAUx ON
THE KINGS COUNTY ASYLUM

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER DIR. oRDRoNAUx ON
THE KINGS COUNTY ASYLUM.
DR. John Ordronaux, State Commissioner in Lunacy,
who recently investigated the charges OF mismanage
ment made against the Kings County Lunatc Asylum.
has submitted his report to the Legislature The
document is scathIng arragnment of the con-
duct Of the officials responsible for the care of
the inmates of that institution. H. says:-''Alone,
OF all similar institutions in the State, the Kings
County Lunatc Asylum stands the bad eminence Of
an unenviabe notoriety. The very citizens whose
wisdom founded and whose generosity supports this
institution now look upon II with that natural
plcion which springs from the discovery that sacred
trust originally dedicated TO charity has been habit
ualy abandoned 10 the interests OF political simony
and barered among the emoluments OF political die
tatorship" He considers the radical OF the
ute TO lie in creating board OF trustees-Commis-
soners OF Chares-to dispense funds for the beneht
OF upasceralned benehcaries, which funds originated
the Board Of Supervisors The latter Board is not
allowed exercise any choice either TO the personal
fitness OF the Jns of its county or OF the amount de-
manded by them inside OF $3.50 00O He deplores the
result Of placing the delicate trust OF q unatic asylum
in the hands OF a Board Of Commissioners, elected
merely 10 administer relief the poor gross, and
without reference their knowledge OF the needs OF
special classes like infants lunatcs, such as have
been seen for years in the Kings county Asylum He
recites In detail the abuses which were published in
these columns during the investigation and recon-
mends the Mayor Supervisor Large and County
Judge be empowered to appoint Board OF unsaaried
ireehoders TO act the Board OF Governors OF the
Lupalic Asylum.
