Many COTTON LETTER.

KEW YORK. Dec 13.-The following Is
tho daily cotton letter Of Atwood, Violet
& Co by private wire 10 {. W. Branch
q Co: ,,,
Investors and Spectators are beginning
n realize that cotton has value, even
though the people We have heretofore
referred 10 have endeayored TO create the
impression that IL only had a value at
much lower prices We close tonight
n points higher than last night. with
Indications OF a better market to-mor-
row. II Liverpool Is not disappointing.
but this Is not probable. for the reason
that Liverpool improved to-day points.
With 10000 bales spot sales, although we
closed last night only 2 points higher
thar the day previous. The Efforts or
those who have sold TO cover their con-
tracts at lower prices have been or no
avail for the past three days. and WITH
any loss I'm movement, compared win
the expectations that have been put forth
by the big crop people, We shall nave
an advancing market. Our impressions
are that we are on the eve OF having
proved the universal assertion or the
southern people that the figures OF the
estimaters are too high by large ma
tOrity, and We anticipate a reduction OF
estimates that will fall below our esfi-
mate OF 10000 bales maximum. IL Is
most significant that on Friday last We
mad about 425.0OO bales more In sight
than last year. yet at the same time the
stocks at thirteen principal points IN the
SCUM reported By New Orleans Exehsnge
Today, show 343.55i bales. against oss'"sf

quate provision at all for the insane.
But the abuses became so notorious that
the law was finally wiped out entirely.
and asylnms with the curative feature
were made the only legal receptacles
for the insane OF every class. And so
IL has been wherever the experiment OF
segregating the incurable from the cura-
bic patients has been tried. Experience
has always shown that a is a mockery 10
call an asylum for incurables a home OF
Christian charity. Its true title is The
Dismal Abode Of Neglected Suffering
and Hopeless Despair"
All OF the insane OF the State are now
most amply and comfortably provided
for at per capita cost Of thirty-eight
cents day. 1t Is supposed that this ex-
pense will be reduced TO twenty-five cents
day by establishing the work-house.
But will Virginia consent 10 consign most
OF her insane, both now and for all time
TO come. TO a prison of despair-that she
may save on each Of them the paltry sum
Of thirteen cents day?
