NEW YORK BRUTALITY TO LUNATICS.
The following account of a case of cru
city and criminal abuse of one Of the
wretehed patients in this institution is
from the lips of person who has been
for many years, aud is at present, reg
ular visitor to the Female LUnatic Asy-
lum: eighteen months ago, ," says the
Informant, "a woman in hall No. was
considered by the physicians we'll
enough 10 be discharged from the quar-
tiers in the main building and placed in
one OF the paviliOns. She was ordered
TO 90 there by one Of the nurses OIL duty,
and was forced out of her room without
all her clothes. The woman told the
nurse she wanted her clothes, and the
nurse refused to give them tn her. On
the patient insisting that she should
get her clothes, the nurses forced her
along the ward. Not being able to get
the patient out, the attendants called in
two men, who grasped her and tore her
along. When the stairs were reached,
they showed her down. In this opera
ton they either jammed their knees
into her back, or" as the visitor said,
"mOre likely kicked her. The unfor-
tunate patient, who was recovering,
was, after this treatment, confined to
her bed for several weeks, and never
got over this brutal treatment, from the
effects of which she is now slowly dying
in the hospital ward of the asylum.
This patient was laboring at the time
only under tendency to commit sui
eide, the history Of her case being that
she was engaged to be married, aud her
lover died, after which she twice at
tempted TO kill herself She was mel
ancholic, but in all other respects sane.
But for the treatment she received she
would have been discharged cured in a
short time, and in place of being now
slowly dying in mad-house, would he,
in all probability, comfortably settled
with friends. ."-NetU York Herald.

The greatest of all power is thought
power. That it may multiply most rap
idly and produce its greatest effects IL is
essential that there should be no barrier
placed in the way Of free speech. The
right OF free speech rests on simple jus
tice. Free speech is the basis of progress
IN knowledge, the guaranty Of liberty,
the antidote Of revolution, and the cor
ner-stone Of religious freedom. The
churches ought to be the first to rally
In defense of free speech, for they are its
ehildren.-Dr. +. b. Foote.

ELECTION POINTS.

THE Democratic majority in the next
House is still assured,
IowA's second election did not amount
to much, the voting not being general.
"PENSsYLvANIA's SHAME" is what the
Post calls the triumph OF the Cameron
Dynasty. q.
ALEXANDER III. STEPHENS is returned
to Congress from Georgia without OPP
position.
RANDALL is solid; the efforts to defeat
him were fruitless. Clymer and Curtin
are also elected.
BRADLEY BARLOW, the boiling beat, is
elected to Congress from the Third Dis
trict of Vermont.
WADE HAMPTON had walk-over in
the State of South Carolina no one o.
fering opposition.
JOHN KELLEY's man Schcll failed to
burst in the Anti-Tammany camp and
as a result he was routed.
SENATOR BARNUM, OF Connecticut,
boasts that he can twiri that State be-
tween his finger and thumb.
THE gallant Joe Johnson will answer
roll call in the next House. Ran
dolph Tucker was elected also.
"CrLCuAwED" Boston may rejoice, for
Butler has been safely bottled. The
elegant Talbot is the Governor elect.
THE Southern States all give their
usual Democratic ma orities, many send
ing unbroken delegations to Congress.
ACKLIN, of Louisiana, has pulled
through in spite of the scandal in circu-
latiOn. The Republican vote split be-
tween two candidates.
MORE returns are necessary in Penn
svlyania to determine who will he Sec
rotary of Internal affairs. Africa runs
largely ahead OF his ticket.
Our OF the thirty States the Democrats
carried seventeen, and the Republicans
thirteen. The former gain Congressman
South and lose some North.
Poor Butler! the road to the Gubcr-
material seat OF Massachusetts was hard
and thorny, and he failed to make the
climb. Gone to meet Greeley.
IN Georgia and Alabama, the Repuh-
lican party does not exist, and should
any Nationals be returned to Congress,
they will act with the Democrats.

BEN. BUTLER.

The disposition throughout the coun-
try to-day, is to regard BUTLER as le-
climate target for ridicule. Every man
who IS capable OF pun and every man
who has taken bet, is found TO pun or
to have bet on BUTLER. All other re-
suits OF the election were ignored or OF
secondary consideration.
There is, in our view no special occa-
sion for tears or merrimcnt. ltmvolyes
neither party defeat nor triumph. But
LER represented himSeb. In this view
only, was the contest peculiarly novel
and interesting. 1t was the most auda-
ciOus attempt to capture a
state by individual effort, en-
ergy and impudence, that has ever been
witnessed in this country. 1t is with
out parallel in the history OF politics.
There was degree of boldnesS and cool
contempt in his manner and methods,
in his defiance oil press, party, and even
public sentiment, that made him an OBJ
iect of singular interest To the whole
country. He stood alone, wrapped in
the solitude OF his own originality"
Yet while defying everybody and every
thing, he captured a part Of nearly ev-
cry political organization that was set
up to defeat him, and although unsuc-
Cessful in the main, the result shows his
achievements in the campaign to have
been not only respectable but surpris-
ing, when all the circumstances are con-
sidered
Ii we had any latent leaning toward
either side OF the contest, there was per-
hapS a slight disturbance in our poise in
favor of BUTLER-nOt that We loved But
Ter more, but his enemies less. We
had quiet wish to see Il certain element
in Massachusetts beaten with its own
club. BUTLER was the natural boomer
ang feS the business. We wanted to
have him break the crust on their backs
as public beneiaction.
As far as the interests of the State of
Massachusetts are concerned, We have no
idea that it would have suffered under the
administration of BUTLER. lie would
have probably made the most useful eX-
ecutiye the State ever had. He not only
has the ability and experience, but all
his individual interests and ambition,
would have inspired him thus to heap
Goals of fire upon his traducers, and at
the same time make for himself the ma
tional reputation he was seeking.
But BUTLER has fallen-where and to
what end, we don't pretend to predict
only so far rs to suggest to those who
regard him as among the things that
We're, that If he don't come to the sur
face again, il will bt the first fall among
the many he has had, in which he didn't
act like cat.

THE REGISTER.

Responding to the liberality OF past
patronage and promises for the future
the REGISTER makes its obeisance this
morning in an entire new dress and en-
larged proportions.
We have interviewer with Its name at
the head, emblems OF our local INDUS
tries and the motto OF our State, as IN
dicatiye, not alone of its local habita-
tion, but of its alliance with and hearty
devotion to all the interests OF the peo-
pie of our city and State. As the REG
lister has in the past, so will it specially
aim IN the future to make itself a'repre-
sentative journal OF its own people.
In taking on new dress it has taken
also a new pride and fresh spirit OF en-
terprise for having its readers always
find ON its clean face and clear type the
freshest and best selected fund OF news
in the market, and suited to all classes
OF our citizens.
As Wheeling is the focal point to
which is gathered the news from every
section and county of the State, 1t will
be one of the principal offices of the
REGISTER 10 radiate and diffuse 1t again,
that through its columns every section
nav become informed OF the matters
and things transporting in every other
locality.
We invite, more cordially than ever,
a free discussion in its columns, OF all
matters of public interest by all classes
Of our people throughout the State
And we have male arrangements by
which the important features OF leSisla-
ton that will occupy the attention oil
the Legislature this winter, will be ably
discussed in the REGISTER by some OF the
best minds of the State. The revision
OF our statutory law in many OF its de-
partments, involving Il discussion OF
our judiciary system and other subjects
OF vital interest to the whole State, will
be presented in such way rs We hope
will prove help in framing legislation
and means oil enlightening public
opinion.
With our news columns replete with
the latest general and State intelligence,
our local department comprising the
city and neighborhood in all that per-
tains to business, society and religious
matters, and a careful discussion OF all
our business, manufacturing and mer'
camille interests, as well rs our public
and political affairs, We hope to make
the REGISTER bountiiul source OF in
formation to the general reader, re.
liable monitor OF the business man, an
tertaining companion for the home CIR
Gle, and welcome visitor to all.

THE power of the National banks to
issue small bills, below s. in amount
has always been limited TO one-sixth
of their circulation and never has ap-
preached that figure, as bank officers
do not like to do so much signing.
Even this authority expires with the re-
sumption OF specie payments, so that
after January l the National banks issue
no more notes below s. and it is said to
be the intention OF Secretary Sherman
to make room for silver dollars by with
drawing some OF the 81 and 81 green
backs, of which the usual circulation is
about SJO,OOO,OOO.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

We have learned by frequent expert
ence to beware of taking the first reports
that are sent over the wires as conclu-
sfye OF political contest. We have
learned that they are always made to Ia
vor the Republicans as long as the truth
can be concealed or the fact is in doubt.
We do not hesitate to concede that
with the data at command in this stage
of the reports, the result on the Con-
gressional contest cannot be figured to
our entire satisfaction. The showing Is
probably against us in the summary OF
gains and losses. Yet We, nevertheless,
have no fears but that it will continue
to brighten as the brush is gradually
cleared away.
In the North we have, doubtless, sus-
tanned some losses, which are offset to an
extent by gains in the South, that will
enable us to easily hold our majority III
the next House. OF the thirty States
which voted we have probably carried
seventeen, and the Republicans the re-
manning thirteen. This however, will
not determine the standing OF the States
in the House, which, in the event OF the
next election for President being thrown
in the House, becomes an important
factor in the general result.
The representation from each
State will then cast but single vote,
whether the delegation have majority
OF Republicans or Democrats, or are en-
tirelv one-sided. Thus, while the DEM
ocrats or Republicans may have a
majority of votes in that body on mat
tiers OF legislation, when it comes to vot-
ing by States ior President the result
would be different.
But on the general as well as special
results in the Congressional elections,
we are at present resting quite easy, and
are content to await the clearing away
| OF the smoke.
