Peace In Charlestown. Notwithstanding
the ravsges OF rheumatism and the
quite evident feeblenees with which he
bore his sixty.iour years he was on
duty at his Office, over the Charlestown
market house, and talked freely OF his
famous prisoner. He said that the Super.
intendent Of the United States Armory at
Harpers Ferry had, in accord with Browns
bequest, given him one Of the captured
rifles and pistol as we'll The former was
seized by Union soldier during the war
and the latter IN In the possession Of his

which were the driver, the Sheriff, two
guards and himself, that he was beside the

South and West the growing manufactures

plagued by its record. All these things are
distracting.
But the one question which gives the
party most uneasiness Is the much dis

Tilden Is out. Mr.. Watterson has a con-
tract to crown Mcdonald. But they are
all afraid Of Tilden, and this accounts Tor
the tricks they play on him.
1t is worthy Of notice that inquiries turn
more upon Tilden's desire for the nomina'
ton than his ability to get 1t. Everybody
seems to feel that II he wants 1t he will get
It; snd after that-whatP Can he be elect

known as he is now. But the country has
grown since 1876. and perhaps it has grown
down TO Mr.. Tilden's standard. The only
way to determine this important question
is 10 nominate Mr.. Tilden.
We regret to see that the party is not
unanimous for Tilden. The lack Of a
oneness Of purpose, 30 to speak, touching
this dead and.alive issue is what is sorely
perplexing the Democratic party, to the
overshadowing Of all questions. It a
queer spectacle, this utter helplessr ess OF a
great party in the presence of an old man.

The Asylum management.

1.-THE INrgLILogScRR has passed some
criticisms upon the management Of the In
sane Asylum. Democratic politicians and
Democratic newspapers have charged that
in this, as in the criticisms on the Uni.
versity management the INrELLlGENcER
was moved by desire to iniure the Demo
cratic party. The motive is Of less moment
than the facts. The questions for the re-
sponsible political party to consider is,
Are the accusations well founded? Are
these institutions we'll founded?

the Democratic party in open, honorable
warfare. AS newspaper, under some OBJ.

they ought to be "for the people," or we

Let Us see what the Morgantown Ne1t
Dominion, Democratic newspaper, has to
say about the Insane Asylum:
Under the existing organization OF the
Weston Asylum 1t TO- and can be, little else
than great jail. No one can superintend
five or SIX hundred patients and OF the same

Here Is an admission that the Insane

Everybody will admit that it ought to be
something more and better than a "great
