Tho Increase of LunacY.

II is sad to think that during all this des-
perateiy hot weather two hundred lunatics
are confined in the jails of this Common
wealth. treated, Of necessity, much like
prisoners OF the criminal classes and living
without the immediate hope of gaining adj
mittance to the asylums
Each Of the old asylums has been enlarged
and new one has been built at Marion.
All are full. Indeed some are crowded
more than they ought 10 be; but IN vain
is tho effort TO keep pace with the growth
Of insanity.
This most grievous of all human mala-
dies is not on the increase in Virginia and
the South only. but all over the country.
II is not proved that the dire consequences
Of the war 90 the South have had more TO
do with it than other causes, for during
the past winter Governor HILL, of New
York. wrote TO Governor Mckinney asking
the latter for some statistics on the sub
ject, and saying that since tho war lunacy
had doubled in the State of New York.
1t seems that with all our educational
and religious progress and the comforts
and luxuries of our age we are not i'm
proving the mental healthfulness of the
people.
While to scientific men may be left the
consideration of this matter the practical
question with us in Virginia now 10 how
best to empty the iails of lunatics how
best to increase asylum accommodations.
1t seems certain that the Legislature will
be called upon for appropriations to meet
the emergency. and this adds one more 10
the dozen existing reasons why it will
have TO be called into extra session this
winter If not sooner.

Mahnna nf WASHINGTON.

That the little General is determined not
20 loose his hold on the Republican party
in this State is proved by recent occur
rences in Washington, where he assembled
his State Committee and with coat and
vest off presided over their alleged delib-
erations. He is no doubt inspired by the
hope that the election bill Will pass the
Senate and that the Washington Admins
tration Will continue him in his position
of referee for Virginia" He supposes,
no doubt, that if allowed to control the
registration, balloting, counting, signing
and issuing Of returns. and drawing of
Federal court juries he can carry the State.
OF course he Is for the election bill. WAD-
DILL spoke his sentiments, though no doubt
MALONE has over and over again abused
WADDuL for those antics of speech and
gesture which gave occasion 10 racy CORE
spondonts for caricatures of the Congress-
man from the Richmond district.
With the RowELL-LoDGE bin law Ma
HONE can come ont for Congress against
LASosToS with some hope of success.
We are trusting 10 the Senate-a jury of
calm. thoughtful mon. Unless the passion
that took possession Of the House by order
OF Mr.. REID seizes senators II is not
possible for them to pass the election bill
Sensible men will not entertain the
thought. 1t WAS only under the Speakers
lash that il could be forced through the
House. and several Republicans purposely
Ebsented themselves when tho LsHLDAcH
amendment was proposed. hoping and de-
string that the Democrats would adopt 1T.
Happily. too. senators have no need to
draw their breath from the nostrils of the
Speaker. Some Of them are beginning to
speak out plainly. Day before yesterday
MIR. IELLrR declared he believed there
was IN the House q majority for free
coinage, but that under q system he
could not speak Of patiently that majority
was stiiled and could not be heard"
SO spoke Republican senator OF Re-
publican REED.
II the bond Of sympathy between the
Democrats and the free-coinage Republi-
cans is not broken by the proposed Re
publican senatorial caucus we are free
from danger; but come what will MALONE
will never again rule Virginia.
When the white men Of this Common
wealth vote together the sting Of negro
Suffrage will be- drawn.

dents, or. as in the present instance, en-
deavored to capture the citadel Of our
liberties by stirring up revolt among the
soldiers Of the garrison. But, although
all tho enemies OF the State have cried
with one accord. South Cardinals gov
eminent is not republican, no man has
ever dared TO bring 40 hcnous charges
against the people and the State govern

organized the present revolt within the
party. No one has ever before denounced
the people as slaves our legislators az
lepers.' perjurers.' and bride takers, or
has charged a. judge with wearing robe
purchased with dishonor."
The people of Virginia, having warm
spot in their hearts for South Carolinians
anyhow. are peculiarly interested in the
Palmetto situation. and are anxious to eco
the form Of Mahoneism developed down
there az thoroughly defeated as has been
the Virginia variety of the dangerous dis

A Desk That General Lee Used.
IRaliimnra Sun qthl

To better accommodate persons having
business with the United States Engineers
Office Colonel William Z. Craighill will to-
morrow remove the office TO the rooms for
merly occupied by the Lighthouse Board,
in the Hopkins building, No. Is west Sara
toga street. The work of packing the
books, papers, charts, and maps of the Of
fee is about completed and by Thursday
night the officers will be in their offices.
The removal recalls the fact that General
Robert T.. Lee was of one time in
charge Of the United States engineers Of
fee here. The office was then at the corner
of Madison avenue and Biddle street. but
the principal part of the work was done at
Soller's-Point Flats, where the corps was
located during the construction of Fort
Carroll. General Lee was in charge from
November. 1s4s. TO August, a, 1852, when
he was relieved by Captain Beaverton.
Among the furniture to be removed is an
old desk that deserves more than passing
notice, from the fact that it was the one
used by General Lee. The desk is about
four feet long by three feet WIDE,
and Ia made Of white pine veneered with
mahogany. The central part Of the top is
raised and inclined ut o convenient angle
for writing. leaving space on each side
for papers A more valuable relict of Gen.
eSal Lees occupancy of the Office and one
that will increase in value as the years roll
by - large volume containing the records
and copies OF the correspondence Of the
Office made by General Lee and signed with
his well-known signature. The book has
been mutilsted in some parts by persons
outing out the autograph Of General Lee.
Hereafter the book will be carefully
guarded and no one will be given an OPP
portunity to cut ous ths remaining sigma
lures.

A Great Calamity

That is indeed frightful calamity re-
ported from Miiscat as we write but which
wesuppose must be assigned to Muscatine,
Iowa, as there is no town or country Of Mus
cat this side Of Arabia--that calamity, we
mean. in which town is to a great extent
levelled by a cyclone and seven hundred
human lives are lost. We ought
TO be very thankful here in Virginia that
we are spared the conditions that work
disaster in so many other parts of the
country. We have eoodly heritage in
deed in our grand old mother State. Let
us learn more and more to appreciate the
fact.

Our Corporate Limits.

In oil the discussion that has recently
taken place about the extension of our city
limits there has been an avoidance of the
question whether we should seek to induce
Manchester to come into our corporation.
Once she was willing, but she may not
be now.
She is growing and improving rapidly;
has several very fine avenues, and there is
more street-railway building there than in
Richmond.
According to our calculation. if Rich
mond and Manchester, and the immediate
suburbs of each could be combined into one
municipality We would have apopulation
of 1O8, 900.

The Federal Election Bill.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York sun reports that the Democrats
and Republicans of the Senate have come
to an informal understanding by which
the tariff bill Will be voted upon at the
end of ten days debate and the election
bill postponed until December.
1t is probable this is true. The Demo
Gratis can block all progress IN the Senate
and will take pleasure in so doing unless
their opponents make some concessions of
this sort.
postponement of the election bill until
the winter will mean that il will be heard
of no more. No set of intelligent men in
the possession of their sober senses will
ever vote for such pernicious measure.
