Free DeliYerY.

II was stated in our Norfolk letter OF
Yesterday that census of Berkeley was
being taken with view to the free de-
livery of mail matter in that town. There
should be free delivery everywhere. In
the country and in hamlets and small VII
lagos the territory should be districted as
in England. Towns receiving and dis
patching mail matter enough to require
all the time OF one carrier should have
the one carrier. The city people will
derive as much benefit from free delivery
in the country as will the country people.
The number OF letters passing through
the mails would be doubled during the
first year of tho operation Of tho free de-
livery. We claim to have originated this
proposition.
There Is no good reason why persons may
not be allowed to paste newspaper para
graph upon O postal card and send it
through the mails. Persons are now pre-
vented by q useless law from cOmmuni-
eating with their friends unless they write
a regulation letter The expense is not the
consideration. IL is the facility with which
interesting information may be commuui-
Gated that commends the proposition 30
public favor. The number of letters sent
through the mails would be increased at
the same time that tho number of postal
cards thus sent would be moro than dou-
bled. And as letters and postals furnish
all the revenue of the Post-Office Depart
ment-printed matter not paying its own
wayne are surprised that Postmaster
General WIEANAKEB has not proposed
these amendments Of the postal laws.

Asvlums or Hospitals.

The Senate Committee on Public lnsti-
tutions has agreed to report in tavor OF
eliminating the word "lunatic" from the
official titles OF our asylums for the insane;
that is to say they propose to call the
Western Lunatic Asylum the Western
Asylum. &C., &c.
This is not gong quite az far as the asy-
lum superintendents recommended. They
urged that the word asylum be drop
ped. too, and "hospital " substituted.
We arc willing to trust to their iudg-
ment. but really 1t does seem that hos
pital" is scarcely specific enough.
We have no doubt. however, that pa
tients have been cured OF mental troubles
At private institutions called "homes,"
Inns" parks" &C.. who would have be-
come hopelessly Mortified and demented
had they been put in "lunatlc asylums."
The imagination is often potent for evil
where a person has no mental disease; but
where the mind Is seriously affected 1t can
work infinite damage.
We would follow the advice of the su-
perIntondents, not because the word lu-
matte " is of absurd origin. for that Is OF
little practical consequence, but because
the word has q hateful sound to patients
ears. So, too, with asylum"

What Has Caused the Change /?

We would like to have an explanation OF
tho causes OF the change OF feeling re-
Gently experienced By the Democrats Of
this country, or said by the New York
Tribune to have been experienced by them.
That paper says that last October they
counted with absolute certainty upon VIC
tory in Massachusetts and Ohio, in New
York, and IN several western States. and
even Pennsylvania. The Tri1pns adds:
Z" Bat to-day Republicans are hopeful, and
even ,abilant, while all intelligent Democrats
rcsiize that sho coming struggle is TO be dos
perato and doubtful. and each Of their two war
ring factions soiemnly declares and fully be-
lieves that certain defeat will attend the policy
OF the other.
What has caused this changer 1t is tho
spirit manifested by such men as those who
composed tho Cooper Institute meeting.
II is the indisposition of the minority in
New York State TO submit to the decision
OF tho majority. II is the dsnunciation of
tho regular organization of the Democratic
party in that State which has been in
dulged IN by so-callsd Democrats who are
determined to rule or ruin.
In October last, the time named by the
Tribune, the Democrats of the whole Union
were supposed TO be in admirable condi-
ton. They fattered themselves-and we
thought not without rcason-that they
would DO able to elect their candidate for
President of tho United States without the
aid of New York, or rather would not have
to rely upon that State for success, seeing
that the glorious prospects of success IN
that State would 80 strengt hen the Demo-
cratic pnrty IN other States as to enable
them TO carry several States generally Re
publican. Now how changed. Tho Mug
wumps are on the warpath. The boilers
are defiant. The regular Democrats are
bold and bellgerent, but do not feel so
confident Of success in tho presidential
election as they did q few months ago.
What is the remedy for this deplorable
condition of things1 Is II not determi-
nation to stand by the regular Democratic
organization of New York. and, thus hold
ing up their hands. TO enable them to lead
US to victory next November
