Tbc Slate I.utrillo Asylum-Or, L.cl.l>> 'o
Report.
Oar readers will find elsewhere the
report of Dr. Lobby, of CbarlcBton,
upon the condition of tho Lunatic Asy?
lum. Wo are pleased to be able to soy
that we baye reason to believe that a far
more satisfactory state of things exists
at tho Asylum than when wo bad occa?
sion, somo time ugo, to refer to the insti?
tution. Dr. Eusor, the Superintended,
is now assisted by Dr. Sloan, a young
physician of promise, and tho sou of
Col. J T. Sloan. The obnoxious em?
ployees-Dr. Harris and tho keeper
Davis-have becu removed from the
Asylum. Wo believe that tho friends
and patrons of the Asylum can now rost
satisfied that tho present Sa perin tendent
will be sustained in bis efforts to im?
prove tho couditiou of his unfortunate
charge, and to carry ont a humane, judi?
cious aud skillful treatment. As Super?
intendent and principal physician, Dr.
Ensor appears fully alive to bis grave re?
sponsibilities. He bas impressed this
community with his earnest disposition
to do what is becoming in bis office,
combined with uu intelligent apprecia?
tion of bis delicate work.
Carrying no partisanship into the in?
stitution committed to his chargo, and
seeking to discbarge his trust with all
possible tact, delicacy and efficiency, Dr.
Ensor will no doubt receive from the
public a due appreciation of his efforts
to maintain u high standard in an insti?
tution which appeals so strongly to the
sympathies of enlightened minds.
It seems that'certain members of the
State Senate insist upon it that tho mili?
tary arm-Federal if not State-must be
used to procure the order they profess lo
waut in South Carolina. Wo refer these
members to tho sensible suggestions of
Mr. Leslie, who remarked that the woy
to peaco was plain, and that it was for
the prescut State administration to riso
above all partisanship and, showing itself
disposed to do equal and exact justice,
to secure iu this mode the moral aid of
the best elements of citizenship. So
long as tho reigning regime is considered
prejudiced, or hostile, or corrupt, just so
long will it fail to secure the public
countenance and the public support.
To make a community law-abiding and
peaceful, the Government must show it?
self the creator of law aud the impartial
instrument of the public weal. It is
only when the community are wanting
in confidence in the ?arm of tho law that
the spirit arises to take the law into
hands not official.
THE TROUBIIKS IN YORK COUNTY. -A

TUE EOISTO TROUBLES.-Sherill" Mack?
ey has returned from Edisto and reports

had no intention of resisting the law,
but bad doubts about tho authority of
the parties who had attempted lo eject

posed, and all expressed a desire to re?
main on the placo and contract for an?

.hat it waa concurring in fraud, and said
.hut the first ten sectious o? tho bili were
di straw, but the eleventh section em?

section, he said, these leeches and cor?
morants, (referring to parties holding
judgments against the city,) will have an
unlimited power to increase taxation.
It certainly was a bill of tho greatest
importance to the people here. If it
was proposed to vote uway their own
rights, and those of the people, he iu
tHided I hat they should know it.
