The people of Subjects, Powhatan coun-

Let them send a petition to their Repre-

the matter for them.

County Roads.

This subject seems TO have become an
interesting one in Virginia. Perhaps the
frequent rains of the last two months have
impaired to il an importance not preTi-
ously attached to 1t. But we trust that
such will not prove to be the case. We
hope that the advent of good weather and
the consequent evolution" of passable
roads will not have the effect Of withdraw
ing public attention from the winter con-
dition OF the roads.
The Scottsyille Courier says:
There can be no objection to putting the
convicts to making and improving the
roads. Quite the reverse. And we hope
our county Judge may see way to getting
more work done on the county roads than
he now proposes by utilizing the convict
labor. which should be at the disposal OF
any county i'm the State on easy terms.
We confidently hope soon to hear that
work has been commenced on our county
roads.
To quote from the Dispatch again:
ave would like TO see all the counties supplied
with good roads by the use of penitentiary con-
victs,i the Gene Al Assembly shall decide that
this ought 10 he done. This will require work for
years. but firmly believe that If central county
Of The state were furnished with such roads az the
wants of the public demand, the result would be
the immediate construction of such roads through
out the Commonwealth"
We would urge that Albemarle be chosen
as that central county which should be at
once furnished with good roads, and thus
take the friendly lead in the march OF civil
iZation and progress in Virginia.

Mr.. Meredith spoke In favor OF seating

condemnation OF Federal interference In
elections In Virginia, and express 1t, TOO,
here, where neither contestant nor con-
testee Is member OF the Democratic party.
He had reached the conclusion that Gala

cause two Of the most important precincts

two others were not opened until the mid

from the report Of Mr.. Powell, which said I:

For Senator and Assistant Judge.

April IL, 1854
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
As the time for making up political states
is drawing near and as some names for
places on our c>unty ticket have already APP
pcared in your paper will YOU allow me to
suggest one or two more, with some COnsid-
cratiOns for my doing SO AT this time So
far as my observation goes, the dele5 cations
to the convention are usually made up in
the interest of political aslirants who mauip-
ulate the wires in the primary meetings
50 as to secure such delegation for their own
preiermcut, regardless of the will or wishes
of the latter class Ol voters who ave expected
to. and who will help elect them to the
offices thus obtained. That such voters may
have time to think the matter over before
the wires are all laid and the bargains closed
and govern themselves acc lrdingly by ses-
ing to it that none but good, honest men
with sufficient brains to give them some
claim to their surfaces are put in uomins-
ton. is the main object OF this cJmmunca-
ton. In looking over the ground on The
south side Of the river, find that South
Burlington has not had a county officer
since the organization Of the town, and
suggest whether in the interests Of far play
and s,rct Justice she ought not to be re.
mcmbcred by giving her at least one of the
Offices at The coming election. There may
b., and no doubt are, plenty of others,
but so far as know John f. Smith for one
Of the Senators would be every way accept
able to the vOtcrs of tie county. A man is
in no sense politician or office seeker, but
one Of good, practical common sense, OF
more than ordinary culture and one who
would faithfully look after the best interests
OF his constituents.

ION OF the sanity or insanity of an indiviJu.
al. There is no good reason why as great
care should not be taken that no sane person
should be incarccrated in an asylum or hos
pltal, whether public or private, as that no
innocent person should be subjected to PUN
ishment with the guilty."
The author follows w his general remarks
with many distressing instances of Injustice
which have come under his personal obscr-
walton in the State of Pennsylvania The
accounts are such as to astonsh one who
has never had his attention called to the loose
manner in which inoflensivc persons Of
clouded minds are bundled off Ivy heartlcss
or schcming relatives to asylums, or more
properly speaking, prisons, where not only
liberty and sympathy and innocent enjoy
ment are denied them, but where they are
subject to the most cruel and unnecessary
discipline. We believe that there are
thousands OF just such cases occurring every
year which are so closely concealed by the
parties concerned that they never come TO
the ear of the public. 1t is positively sick
ming to contemplate the unnatural hcattlcss-
ness with which those who should've nearest
and dearest to the unfortunate sufferers sever
every bond of affection and duty, and con-
sign their own flesh and blood to the tender
mercics of strangers, whose only claim should
be the very reason thst they should be avoid
cd-the claim, viz, that they are effective
d,So&rhH6rdnS for people in that abnormal
state of mindl Surely, it seems high time
that somebody should vert'lttc these mat
ters and rouse the spark of public indgna-
ton,
The purpose of the author Of this book is
well stated, and brings the whole matter 10
definite point. lie aims to pcint out the
defects of many of the present laws relating
to the disposal Of The insane, and to suggest
the methods for remedyng them. This
publlcatlon,' he says, embraces all laws re-
laling to tho insane, be they good or bad.
which exist in the States and governments
named. 1t will give an opportunity in each
OF our Commonwealth to review its own
legislation and determine its merits or de-
merits by comparison with that of other
States, and amend it if found unsuitable or
insufficient. 1t will be admitted that no
class OF the wards of State merits or re-
qures more protective care. The question
cf the care and treatment of the insane has
received great attention of late years in a
number of our Commonwealth, and the
public mind, being well prepared to consider
and determine their interests and their
rights, have influenced legislatures 10 discard
many mischlevous ard worthless laws, and
enact others more cOnsonant with the spirit
and intelligence of the hour. My present
purpose is to effect this merciful policy with
the Legislatures of all our States and Terri
tories, and | trust that the simple method
suggest, with the means 10 accomplish il
gratuitonsly furnished, will lee willingly
adopted. The beneficial results will soon
appear to the quick relief of the helpless, and
the ultimate satisfaction of all who have the
care of them"
