senator Ciarland,s BiIl.

l.. R. Democrat: The bill of Sen ator Garland, to which we referred in yesterdays paper, Ito amend the judiciary act as tn suits against cer- tain corporations' is Q matter o! much importance. Although the courts have held that these corpora tions come within the meaning ol the term "citizen." it is by no means clear that such construction is war. ranted, either by the construction or the Judiciary act which 1t Is proposed to amend. If Senator Garland's biil becomes law we shall have done with q grievance with whicl many counties in. Arkansas have been afflicted -the mandamas trouble. The second section of the bill, pro viding that insurance companies eX- istlag and organized in one State, but doing busipe$s in another State,
 if sued in the courts of the latter, shall not have the privilege of re. moving the case to the Unitel States courts, will correct nuisance that has grown up of late, allowing insar
 tnce companies organized in one State and doing business in another by agents, to transfer suits against them to the United States courts. Of late years the dockets of uBited States courts have been crowded with this class or litigation. This proposed amenduent is not 50 im
 pottant IS tue first but 1t is never
 icss If interest, and is movement in the right direction. The public will watch the progress of senator Garlana's bill with great interest.

THis iNsANE or ogg STATE.

Tas INSANE 1F OUR s'fA'fls.
 What proyision viii anr incoming Legislature make for llsese unioftii- nate beings, IS q question which has presented itself to oufmind on many different occasions
 Tie people of the State of Arkau- sas ceftainly cannot longer iemain indifferent to the demands of :. class .of her citizens whese coBdilion is pitial,ic in the extreme, and who by every principle of right, justice, humanity and Christianity appeal at least for the protection, care and treatment this commonwealth pros yiles fer the meancst criminals.
 Educated as physician, and hay inf witnessed mneh of the suffering. neglect and even harberic im.rison ment of insane persons, for want Of an asylum or hospital to place them in, it is bat natural that our sympa thy and our aid should be extens.psG toward the amelioration of the pres ent status Of these people.
 We are aware that there is su- perstitious popular hcIief existing among some well informed people 'that insanity is an incurablc disease of the mental faculties. This is not the ease. Insanity is . structural disease wherein . lesion of some character effects the brain substance proper, from which follows the per yerted functional disturbance wit messed Tn their unnatural action, Statistics also inform us that under proper restrictions and careful treat ment the percentage of recoveries present proportional average with the treatment of other structural diseases.
 There can be little question that ArKansas, out of a population of six hundred thousand inhabitants, has herquota of insane people, as every reader from personal observation knows. These people have never received from tbe State any appFo. pration sufficient to meet the exi- gency of their necessities. Will the prescnl legislature make m appro- priation sufficient to enable the trns tees to have constructed suitable building for an insane hospital, ca paeltated for one hundred and fifty to two hundred inmates, furnished IS 1t should he, employ competent medical superintendent and have all eases admitted treated according to the very latest aud most improved methoag This our legislature should do hy all means and without delay. 1t is demanded of them lr0m the very necessity of the helpless. forlorH, ilncafed-ior condition Of the insane. Every instinct ol humanity and Christianity demand il,
 We concur fully with Brother Me Guire, of the Dardanelle Arkansian, from which paper the above extract is taken that it is 2 solemn duty devolyiug upon the State to make provision for the care and medical treatment of these unfortunates, who are now, many of them, lying in jails and poor houses in the different counties in the State, receiving the treatment and suffering tho hard ships due criminals (treatment well calculated to aggfa ate the mental derangement) instead of getting that care and treatment wbieh might per haps remove the malatiy and restore the suffering unfortunate to life of usefulness.
 The xt legislature will have to bear tue odium of well merited re proach if they fail to make some pro vision for tue insane of our State.

The New Orleans Commercial
 Convention.

The New Orleans Commercial Con vention at it's recent session adopted series Of resolutions. requesting Con gress to enact various important laws for the benefit of our commercial re- lations with foreign countries, estab- fish postroutcs for the tiapspa spartation of mails, to be carried on vessels ell. tirely owned, built and registered in the United States, between certain enumerated ports, The convention also commended to capital and en- terprise interests connecting every port and every trade center of the interior with foreign countries. h regard to the proposed treaty be- tween the United States and France, the convention resolved that an agreement of reciprocal trade would greatly promote the commercial in terests, as it would confirm the an cieat amenities of two great contrac ting powers.
 Resolutions were passed reccom- mending the reduction of port charg ges, urging upon the government the necessity of prosecuting the work on the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi and completing the great southern railway. Alter ap- pointing committee to memorial ize Congress on the various measures recommended, the convention ad. joulnod sine die. The full commit tee will meet In Washington e the
