THE WESTEBj ISSlE ASYLUM.
We are not in thefhabit of making a,
f u3s about things that.cannot be helped,-
no odds how unfortunate we mysei
sider tnein to uej ana in reviewing wo
Governor's recent admirable message it
was in a merely incidental manner that
we gave expression to our opinion as tQ
the wisdom of having located the West
ern Insane Asylum at a point other
than Raleigh, saying that it was a mis
take, and a still greater mistake that
the work should have been planned
upon a style of so much magnificence.
This brought the Blue Ridge Blade-up
standing. "YVoulditnotbeaswell,?itfn
quires, faif The Observer would cou
ple a reason along with so positive a
statement T Oh ! well, we had not pro
posed to discuss the question inextenso,
but if the Blade wants our reasons we
can give them briefly: If the Legisla
ture had located this institution upon
the grounds of the mother asyjum at
Raleigh, it could have saved the money
big money, too which it paid for the
site. Then, by building a wing to the
mother asvlutn thev would have ob
viated the necessity for all the out-build;
ings which must be pat up at Morgan
ton. Naturally it ispheaper to build a
wing to a house triari to put up an in
dependent building, and lastly we ob
ject to so poor a State putting up so
magnificent a :, structure. It is like a
man buying asilk hat; while his pants
are worn out at the basement and his
intestines are clamoring for the staff of
life. Since the Blade quotes Gov. Vance
on us we will oudte him on it: Gov
Vance says this Western Insane Asy
mm. when completed, will not be sur
passed in grandeur by any similar insti
tution in the United States. Now we
are too poor to support public buildings
superior or equal to those of New York,
Massachusetts, Illinois, or the States
which are out of debt. : Alt of oor ob
jection turns upon this very point,
"The Governor," the Blade says, ,"is a
greattnan with TriB Observer people
and" the Governor says so and so. Sup
pose he does? Truly The Observer
does think the Governor just a little
the bimrest man in this State! but it
doesn't pin its faith to him in all things'
and notwithstanding its partiality: to
him it still claims the right to dissent
from hisopinions just the same as it
does from those of other people.
Concluding, the Blade says :
North Carolina is poor we know,- but
poverty does not hurt her half so much
as the distrust on the part of her people
of all who are in authority from con
stable to Governor.
Here it is again. -Our amiable con
temporary forgets. ! Last summer The
Observer, in a special article, was es
pesially laudatory i of Gov. Vance. A
Virginia paper, in an editorial cleaily
leveled at this paper and that particular
article, declared that the press of North
Carolina was' mote lavish in its praises
of its public men than the press of any
other State in the I Union. The Mlflde
then came up and agreed with a paper
which berated us j for doing the very
thing which this self-same JJ&wfe ' now
accuses us of not doi ng. It seems a hard
matter for The Observer to keep on
the good side of its amiable contempo
rary.
Hut. the Western Insane Asylum is
located for good" and all; the Governor
is just as good as United States Senator,
and cui bonot Why may we all not
be happy?

democratic senatorial caucus.
The Democratic Senators held a cau
cus this morning to consider what
course to pursue on the resolution of
Senator Edmunds now pending in the
Senate in relation to the enforcement
of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments, and to protect all
citizens in the exercise of all the rights
secured by the laws passed for that pur
pose, etc. The ' Democratic Senators
agreed upon a substitute for the above
named resolution to be offered when
it shall be taken up for consideration in
the Senate. While in this substitute
they admit the thirteenth ourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the constitu
tion to be of binding force and validity,
they regard Senator Edmunds' resolu
tion as proposing legislative action in
conflict with the decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, par
ticularly in the Cruikshanks case, re
garding those amendments, and they
quote from dicta of the court to sus
tain the ground which will be taken in
the substitute that the United States
have no citizens distinctively their own ;
that the constitution does not confer
the right to vote on any one, but sim-
f'ly -confers the privilege of freedom
rom any discrimination on ac
count of race, color or previous condi
tion, and that the regulation of suf
frage belongs exclusively to the several
States.
