The EASTERN LUSArfc ASYLUM From
one who was an inmate Of the above Asy-
lum for eight or ten months and who re
NAMED there some time after the restora-
ton OF her reason, we learn that the un-
fortunate persons who arc taken there are
subjected to system Of starvation and
cruelty that IL horrible to contemplate.
Our informant says that the Superintend-
ent DIR. Bullock, is kind and good man
bat that he doesn't put himself TO the trou-
BILE Of finding out the inhuman treatment
resorted 10 by the female nurses Mary
Elder, Nora Savage, Mary Nunan, Mag.
Haeny, Annie Smith and Mary O'Donald.
These fiends, not only slap, beat and cuff
those that they are hired to wait upon,
but appropriate the clothes sent by the
friends Of the patients and in the back
wards either retain their provisions or in
tentionally see that they are only half cup
piled. II is regarded by these women as a
decided encroachmenl on their dignity to
have a patient speak to them without pre-
fixing Mrs. or Miss, and many a tender
cheek has been slapped blue by their
rough hands for the commission of the Of
fence. Our informant showed us dislo-
Gated thumb and numerous bruises, that
had been inflicted for disobeying the or
ders Of one Of these women. These are
very serious charges and we call upon
those in authority to investigate them.
Some Of our best people have friends in
the institution but whether they have or
not, humanity demands that the unfortu-
nate creatures who have lost their reason,
should be protected from the cruelty Of
those worse than hyenas, who take delight
in furnishing them.

are closed and to get hold of some items. One
such reporter week ago stated that Pltney,

THE RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE BOARD.

The Springfield Register has opened its
guns on the Illinois Board of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners, charging that, as
body, the beard utterly fsls to perform Its
duty or any part ofit-priGlarily on account of
the ignorance and ineXpertsncc of two Of its
members and secondly, because the third
member, wh0 is posted, ISIS Judas, in the pay
and under the control of the railroads. Instead
of establishing a schedule of rates and protect
ing the people against oveaoharges and unjust
Determinations, the board has wholly ignored
those branches Of its duties, and all it pretends
to do has been on its OWE, molten, and outside
of the law, to establish "a system of arbitration,
which indeed has led to the refunding by sew
eral railroads of few small sums for over
changes, but the aggregate OF which did not
amount to as much as the salary of the color
ed individual who emptes the splttoons In
the luxurious rooms occupied by the board on
their occasional visits to the state house.

SUFFERING IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.

Illinois did not average four bushels to the
acre, and as for corn he says, ION the 22nd of
