nounced. The efforts to seoure a conti?
nuance of tho commercial treaty witt

pointed, pursuant to the treaty of Wash?
ington, for the purpose of settling thc
Alabama claims, have held .their firs!

laid belora the arbitrators on behalf ol
each party to the treaty. In the case
submitted by America, large olaimB wer?
inolnded which were understood, on mj
part, not to be within the province o
the arbitrators. On this subject, I ha vi
caused a friendly communication to bi
made to the Government of the Unite?
States. Nothing further is said in re

treaty of Washington, it is stated tha

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.

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,

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. Very respectfully
