The Stats Lunatic Asylum.
Dr. Lebby, of Charleston, has recently
made a visit, iu behalf of the city of
Charleston, to the State Lunatic Asylum,
and makes a report as to the condition
and management of the institution.
He reports at present a very-satisfactory
condition of things. The institution is
indeed very far behind other similar
hospitals for the insane, in being destitute
of many of those modern improvements
which have been elsewhere intro
duced, but the present managements
characterized as humane and judicious.
The obnoxious employees, Dr. Harris
and the keeper, Davis, have been removed,
and the present Superintendent,
Dr. Ensor, agisted by Dr. Sloan, is sparing
no effort which can improve the
-condition of the institution or conduce
to the comfort of the inmates, lie says:
"The Lunatic Asylum was closely aod
thoroughly inspected, through the poiltetxcss
and invitation of the Superin.
teijdent, Dr. Knsor, uccompanied by his
v . assistant, Dr. Sloan. It is with much
pleasure that I can report to your'Honor,
and to our fellow-citizens who are
interested in this institution, the general
tXSellent condition and apparent eomi'r't
that is manifested throughout every
i 4?i?iKfi*iitinn. Its dis
oeporiuicui. u> m.v ??
2 cipline is parental, firm and humane,
which conclusion is arrivcxl at from the
" tree and yet respectful intercourse evinced
by the patients, both male and female,
' white and colored, on meeting "tt;e
Superintendent and his a&sisfant, a
v fact in itself which is conclusive
of their daily intercourse witl)
the unfortunate inmates. The building
is sadly deficient in proper .furniture,
uto.; for a State institution, fostered and
pupported by the Staie. It is far behind
the enlightened age of progress* And
It is' now very apparent to my mind
least in comparison to the insane'institu
lions of other States, most of which I
'! have visited. Theold wood bedsteads,
" r -1 U
jtr\d other furniture, buuuiu
cliately replaced by the modern iron
furnitures since introduced in similar
institutions. The whole institution Is
wot sufficiently warmed in -winter as it
should be, and can not be under the
present arrangements. Steam or fur iiace
below, connected with tubes runnfngth
tough every room aud corridor,
- iritli sliding valve regulatorsshould be
2 substituted immediately for the present
? arraugaur'vt, bcina; more conducive to
health, ai. certainly less dangerous to
conflagration.
" "The colored division of the building
- i* a reproach to the State. They are all
A of wood, liable to Are, .and, in severe
,s- ' ? twi,. K?
cold weamer, aimosi juijajcsj UiU IU UV
made romfortable without great danger
of conflagration. Dr. Khsor has substituted
for "the open, fires, formerly
used, the close coat stove's, surrounded
by iron railing, but even these, during
7. the severe season, are not sufficient for
" tllfc' comfort of-this plass of patients, who
- are peculiarly susceptible of cold. In
every other.respeot I.could not perceive
that there was any difference of treatr
mcnt between the white and colored.
These buildings should be immediately
replaced by .the contemplated wing to
the main'bailding, as recommended by
tho Superintendent. This addition
would. afford ample,. commodious and
nnmfmtable accommodation for all
the ftiniato&Qf both races'certainly
would" be a grqql improvement to the
institution:"- r<*
Hp recommends farther an improvement
of the library by the addition of
the: most entertaining modern #'0rke,
and also that the institution be furjiiriied
with a liberal supply of musical
instruments.
