JUSTICE WITHOUT MBBOY-THE SEN [SSKOSS THU Ku KLUX PRISONERS. The life of tba law is (he execution. Has. justice been exeonted iq meroy? Take the case of Samuel G. Brown. He is an old mau, now more than sixty years of age. He oame into court and admitted he wa? a member of e. secret organization. He bad never been upon a raid. During a long life, he nos maintained the oharaoter of an honest man, a virtuous, kind, good citizen. The joining of this organization was his first and only offence; it was of no avail. He was sentenced to five years in Albany prison, and $1,000 fine. His doom seemed to he the heavier in consequence of his previous good oharacter-if the sentence had been for life instead of five years, it would probably have added no day to his imprisonment. "If he may ?ud mercy in the law, 'tis his; If none, lot bim not seek it of us." Aa little meroy was shown in the case of John W. Mitchell. According to the evidonoe adduced in court, he joined the klan in December, '70, and left it in the following February, because, in his own language, he thought it was wrong. He was appointed chief; but never issued an order, and prevented his klan on two oc? casions from going ou mids. He re? ceived the like doom of fivo yours' im? prisonment und $1,000 fine. Perhaps if we were to moution that he waa a cap? tain, and a gallant one, in the Army of Northern Virginiu, it might account for the extreme rigor of the sentence. It was simply ferocious. [Rock Hill Luntern. No COURT.-It haB beeu definitely as? certained, we learn, thut there will be no ] court-uoue for more than twelve months to come at earliest. Well, so fur us we and many others are individually cou cerued, it of course makes no difference -it mutters not un iota; but there uru prisoners confined in jail at this plane, and causes thereby depending, iu which it makes very mat'-rial difference. Wo presume, also, that there are other onuses pending which may be seriously nffoctud by having no oourt. But, then, mur? muring does no good, ajd we had as well make up our minds to "griu aud bear it" as best we cao. We all know that "poor folks and niggers were made to suffer," and it matters not with thu lords in the granite capitol how much. [Laurensville Herald. THE COTTON TAX.-? A Washington lot? ter, of the 1st inst., says: The members of Congress of both parties, from the South, ure eager to curry-favor with their constituents, each endeavoring to forestall the other by ini? tiating measures for tho refunding of the oottou tax levied just after tho close of the war. All the Stute Legislatures, tho several boards of trude und similar or? ganizations of the South, nud the Na? tional Board of Trade, recently held ut Baltimore, have conourred in n request to Congress for immediate actum there? for, but as yet no definite measures Luve boen deoided upon. A singular scene iu the New York Stock Exchange is thus noticed in the Tribune: "So marked was the absence of orders in the Stock Exchange, Satur? day, that the members of the board spout much of their time in athletic aud othor amusements, such as running, jumping, sliding upon the floor, singing snatches of songs, Sec. Only occa? sionally was this sort of sport interrupt? ed by an order to buy or sell something. These dull days aro well enough, if we don't have too mauy of them." To work worthily, man must aspire worthily. His theory of human attain- ' ment must bo lofty. It must ever be lifting him above the low plano of cus? tom and convention, in which the senses confine him, into the high mount of vision aud of renovating ideas. A telegraph operator ut Meriden, Conn., waited some righteous indigna- ? tion over a despatch to a manufacturing firm iu his town, which read, "scud me CO monkeys and '25 babies." But those were only tho innocent designations of different patterns of paper-weights. Mrs. TJpdyke, of Uuadilla, carno to her death last week through tight lacing. She ran up stairs rapidly and fell dead ou the top step, through tho breakiug of a compressed blood vessel. Shu hud beeu married but two days. There is a report guiuing ground iu Washington, that numerous frauds, im? plicating high officials, have been dis? covered by tho congressional committee now investigating the affairs of the Treasury Department. Auburn, a little village in Maine, and almost unknown to fame, nevertheless turned out ?3,000,000 worth of shoe*. Tho average weekly shipments wero about 800 cusos. What a shame on tho towns and villages of thu South. Wm, M. Tweed has been re-elected President of tho American Club, which would lead to the reflection that auy man. could ho olected to auy thing iu Now York, if ho hud money.

"Tho laborer is worthy of his higher." Ttl? Lunatic Asylum. To THU EDITOR or TH? DAILY UWIOW: As wanting in ail those exoellenoies o( character and high intellectual attainments that charac? terize the wise and the good, and flt them for the high placea in the land, aa our L?gislature ia bj aome repreaentod to be, I did not sup? pose that there was a member of that body so dead to justice and to humanity aa to bo willing to raise his voice, in thia age and in this country, that BO jaatly boasts of its liberality aaa its philanthropy, againat pro? viding for tho proper caro and comfort of thoae of our fallow-boiogs upon wbom the hand of misfortune hits fallon so heavily, or the power of disease worked so fiercely, that reason has been shaken or utterly dethroned, thus rendering them objects of the deepest pity and entitling them to tho benefita of the warmest philanthropy sud the best offlceB of benevolence. But I have been disap? pointed. My Oodl ia it possiblo that we are still living in barbarism? If so, let na not deceive the world by parading the banner of an en? lightened people when we are only barba? rians, whiob we prove ouraelvns to be when we refnseto take proper oare of onr insane. Tbere is no better exponent of tho civiliza? tion, refinement ?nd philanthropy of H people than the condition of their charitable iuatitu tiona. "tihow me the nation," said au emi? nent member of tho British Parliament, "that m?ked the best provisions for its unfortunate insane, and I will show you the most enlight? ened peoplo on tho earth;" and tho Constitu? tion of our State distinctly and emphatically declarea that "institutionsfor the benefit of the insane, blind, deaf, durnb and the poor shall al? ways be fostered by this Utate." And yet, when an appropriation is asked for the benefit of the malo Lunatic. Asylum, there are men in tbo L?gislature and other State officers who have the cold-blooded heartlessness to oppoae it. They oanuot do this upon the pretense of economy, ior theao sanie men are wonderfully laviah with the public money for other lens worthy purpoees. And you, iMr. Editor, have allowed your humanity to bo chilled; you have gone out aide of yourself, and have given the cold shoulder to the Asylum. 1 am surprised at tilia. Cuming, aa you do, from a State whoae chief pride ia her charitable institutions, no leaa than ten of which are aupportnd ut the expense of the Slate, and that, too, with no stinted hand. It is hich time for retrench? ment, hut why single out tho objecta of State charity-tho orphans, and tho poor lu unties, Ac -to begin on? Ia there no room for retrenchment anywhere elao that would bo (tuite aa creditable to our party, and aa profitable to the State? 1 have shown in my annual report, and the Board of Hegouts in their memorial, that the institution cannot bo maintained, on humani? tarian principlea, at a bias coat than $00,000 per annum. That thia is the caao ia plain enough to all who wiah to understand it. The daily average number of patients in the institution, during the past year, waa a fraction ovor 300. Nut?, tho moment these peoplo enter tho Asylum, they becomo the warda of the State, and tho Commonwealth ia bound to maintain them-bound by ber Constitution and by her laws to maintain them. Now, let us eeo what would bo a fair est u?ate for the coat of maintenance-and, mind you, the word maintenance embraces every expenao necessary to their entire sup? port; not only for food and clothes, but tor gas, fuel, medicine, servants' hire, attend? ants'hire, salaries, repairs, renewal of furni? ture, crockery, glaas-ware, conking appara? tus, and a thousand and ono other incidental expenses i nd i np cnn uh le to the support of a large household. In institutions f?r tho insane in other part? ] of thia country, tho coat of maintenance of ? each patient ia found to vary from $20 to Mn I per month. Let ua put down tho lowest ' tl ! y i re for our insane, since ?orne of our bene? volent (?) law-makers aro willing that they should have only what ia necessary to keep thom from nakedness and starvation, and what ia the result? 301) patienta for twelve months, at $20 per month, would ront exactly $72,000, while all we ask for ia (00,000. Bat for our present purposes we need not enter into theae numerical detaila or calculations. The law of the Stato settles thu matter liv fixing tlie coat of maintenance ot each inmate of tho Asylum at (212 per annum, which enti? tles the iuititutiou. by law. to (Ci,OOO, which ia more than we aak for for tho present year. 1 have- carefully examined the reporta of other asjlums, and I find that our insano are supported at a cheaper rate than thoae of any other State. From tho laat report of thu Su? perintendent of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, I find the following statement: From a carefully compiled table now beforo me, em? bracing twenty-one prominent State institu? tions, hospitals and asylums for the insane in the United States, I find that the average cost, per capita, for the maintenance of the insane, exclusive of clothing and salaries, is $272. ls per annum. It will bo anen from tho above that the figures are vory conaidorably highe r than oars, and do not include the clothing and salaries, two very ^nnaidcrablo items in the expenaea of large public hospitals. By reference to the reporta of tho following hos? pitals for the insane, I obtain the coal of oach for 1871, as follows: Maine Insane Hospital, 192,738.78; Stato Lunatic Aavliim, at Trenton, N. J., $107,008.03; Stato Lunatic Asvlmn. at Albany. N. Y.. $200.0153 37; New Hampshire Asylum, $70,775.28; tho Government Hoapiinl fertile Insane, at Washington, I). C., $110, 702 72; Hospital for the Insano of the Stato of Connecticut, $102,690 03; State Lunatic Hos? pital of Peiinaylvauia, at Harrisburg, $100, ?tO.72; State Lunatic Hospital,;.! Northamp? ton, MASS., 4<>2 42; Tennessee Hospital for the Insane, ?CS Otii) IM. I make thnae extracta to show the penuri? ous pian upon which our insane are provided for, and how insignificant the sum now- at-kell from tho State, for thu aupuort of our Asylum for tho current year, when compared wit h the cost ol other similar institutions,:!.-" well HS to show the littleness of aoul of those imma? culate law-makers, and patterns of official economy, who are opposed to giving io the insane that aid which humanity duniaiida and which Iho honor of thu State cannot aft' n d to withhold.
