BARksDALE AND THE BOARDS.
[Richmond Letter Petersburg MALL
The selection of the mem bers of the new
Boards of the three Lunatic Asylums and
the Deaf. Dumb and Blind Institute does
not give perfect satisfaction here. The
MahoneiteS have three members on each
of the Asylum Boards. 1t seems 10 be
nnders God that they were chosen with
view of electing new superintendent of
each of these institutiOnS-men who have
never heretofore had any experience in
the treatment of the insane or their man
agement. DR.. May, the present Mahoneite
Superintendent of the Central Lunatic
Asylum, is, it is said. to be made the first
assistant of the same Institution under
the new regime.
DR.. Black for many years past had
charge of The asylum at Williamsburg and
was displaced by Malone. He is not IA
candidate for re-ele ction in the usual po-
litical acceptance of that phrase If the
place has been rendered him he will accept
it, but he will not canvass for his election.
The name of DR.. Randolph, of Albemarle,
is mentioned in connection with the place
of Superintendent of the Central Asylum.
That gentleman is warm friend Of
Treasurer Barb sdale. who IS one of the
members of the Board of Public Works.
Some snrprise is expressed that any mem
beIs of the Legislature should have been
placed on these Boards.
The action of the new directors will be
watched with no little interest. Some OF
Governor Cameron IS friends say he ex.
put back in charge of the Eastern Asylum
where DR.. Dick Wise now reigns.
tRichmond Letter in Petersburg Index.l
Mr.. Morton Marye. State auditor, is il
receipt of letters FROM Petersburg which
indicate that the democrats of that gooC
city are anything but pleased with the ap
Monument of directors for the Contra
Iunaeic Asylum. made by the board o
public works, composed OF tile governor
auditor, and treasurer.
1t appears that committee of leading
democrats flem Petersburg came over tt
see Mr.. MaIye, auditor, and Mr.. Isaac
Ba1ksdaic. treasurer, and presented tt
these gentlemen list of names that would
be acceptable &c the democrats of tbei
CITY. MIR. Marys accepted the list, bu
when the vote was taEen at meeting @
the board of public works Mr. Barksdalt
" oted against five of tie men, end as tht
governor voted with him. these five demo
Gratis were defeated. aud MIR. Marye only
got six men out of the eleven.
Mr.. Barksdaie has made 90 public state
ment as to the reasons which Influenced
him in this matter. but it is believed thai
be was acting upon what be conceived &C
be the intention of the legislature in pass
ing The act directing The appointment OF
directors. That act reads 'tThe boarC
