As Usual.

Ohio has been drawn upon for a
successor to DR.. Lewis, as Superin-
tendent of the Hospital for the In
sane at Weston. There was no ne
cessity for this action on the part of.
the board of directors for that insti-
tuition, and it is a shameful and hui
initiating sacrifice of State pride 10
say the least. We have gentlemen
in the medical profession in West
Virginia who as physicians of char
acter and culture are the peers of
any in the land, and by every act
of common courtesy, and by all the
higher proprieties of professional
ethics their pleasure should have
been consulted, and their claims
duly considered. But instead, they
went upon a Diogenes like search
with sandaled foot, and uplifted
torch, and fished from the boggs of
Ohio, an obscure individual whose
highest claim upon the favorable
consideration of this board of boo
b;es, was, that he was expelled from
the Athens Asylum, because he was
undecided whether a white man was,
or was not, as good as a niger. If we
have not pride enough, and brains
enough, to conduct our own institu-
tons in consonance with the higher
demands of orr progressive civiliza
ton, let us shut up shop, pull down
the blinds and strike the star from
the national banner which stands
for West Virginia, the child of the
storm, and give our gallant little
State with her brave men and fair
women-her mighty forests, and
her majestic rivers, her massive
mountains and her fertile valleys
over to the reign of anarchy and
barbarism forever. = RaUenSuood
