CH1S. R. JOKfiS, - Editor" and Proprietor "Free from the floting smiplfe'that fettef hur WEDNESDAY, FEBRU&BY IP, 1879. THE INSANE ASYLUM ISO THE RETEENCHEES of the insane asylum of Nprtli.Carolina, has submitted a statement'df the opera tions of :sthat institution for:, the pas two years; Iff accordance wi instruc tions fromhe ointiegteiatiTfiConimit tee on the insane asyium. The pamphlet is not only exceedingly interesting, but will be accepted, we take )t, as conclu sive as to the points touched. upon. It states that of those admitted to the asy lum, from 25 to ' 38 per cent annually J have been returned to: their homes re covered and a very large additional number much improved. f During the past year the per centage of cures upon admissions was 33 per cent, and in cluding the much improved, 59 per cent. "The death rate annually has ,: never asylums in the United States, while in some years it has been with a bare ex ception, the most favorable in the Union, and approvingly Quoted, -as a model to be esteemed. It has varied from 2 to 6K percent, at the highest.1 As if referring to the recent report on "retrenchment and reform," in which the management of this asylum ia father oAverelv dealt with. Dr. Gris- som cites the treasurer's recent report, showing that the expenditures . of the asylum for the fiscal year ending De cember 1st. 1878. were S6U538.06. He itemizes the expenses, and adds: If the whole amount be f divided by the daily average of patients, viz : 278, It will De seen tnai ine per capita uuat of board has been, annually $61.60, each patient. But as we actually feed 74 employees in addition, the actual ex penditure for 352 persons has been $48.65 each annually, or $4.05 per month, or 13 cents per day. It will be seen that this is far below the allow ance often made for convicts in jails. The report shows that while the an nually' expenses for provisions were $17,126.21, the salaries and wages of superintendent and other employes for the same time were $20,232.87. Dr. Grissom points out that the care of the insane is always more costly than their food since this requires perfect intelli gence and, regularity . by trained and faithful employes, who must receive adequate compensation for their ser vices. . He invites attention to the vouchers on file with the treasurer of ; the insane asylum, and states that ali i of the ac- counts oi iue lnsubuuuii, careiuiiy itemized, were examined and approved by the executive committee before pay ment. ; 1 ; ' ' ' ' " V ' The report of the joint committee on retrenchment and reform attacked the management of this institution on the ground that purchases for it have been made during the past year by the stew ard.the matron,the engineer and the sup erintendent, where as only one person should have been allowed to buy sup plies. As to this complaint the super intendent says: This policy I am convinced subserves the best interests of the institution and the State ; for who is so well qualified to purchase articles of female apparel ana to determine their fitness for the need ed purposes, as 'the : matron?. Who is as well qualified to purchase pipes and fittinsra. ras retorts and articles nertain- ing to machinery, requiring the knowV J X i. j.i ' a ugu ui au expert, as tue engineer r "Who is better qualified to purchase medicines and drugs, and to judge of ineir, purity ana. value, man tne pnysi cian? ; ' ' '': '-. . In the face of this very elaborate, ex plicit and apparently unreserved re port, the thinking members of the General Assembly will hesitate a long while, we opine, before they materially retrace tne appropriation ior tnis im portant institution- which is already conducted, as is shown,at an annual ex pense of $10,000 less than the, average, 1 of similar institutions throughout) filtfT United States. This is our greatest public charity and God forbid that its use si should ver be destroyed by inef tavftrgs ' of clap-txap politi- the in: cians in whose profane eyes nothing is sacred that stands between them and popular applause, "H.M. & Pjn afore.''

Mr. Thurnan is inavor of tacking the repeat rbill to one of the several appropriation. bills, and, by con ciliating the Southern; Senator has a majority jf them commitCetP toj his view; Mr. Bayard opposes this policy and is supported by the Middle and Eastern Democrats, andjby some from the West and South. It is alleged, further, that in caucus a few days ago, Mr. Bayard made a speech which, if it were published, would forever destroy all of his prospects for any support from the South; and thus the war is opened thus early . and the opposing candidates' hang out their ensigns' in the national halls of legislation.

From parties just in from, Neosho we get brief particulars of an adjust ment of personal dmerence , between Mr. P. Donan, of the Bentonville Ad vance, and Li. P. Cunningham, a lead ing attorney of this city. The matter proved quite a sensation for that quiet village. Mr. Cunningham has been in Neosho since Tuesday on railroad busi ness. On Tuesday night Mr. Donan came to Neosho to deliver a lecture on "'AVoman." Yesterday morning at the hotel Cunningham called Donan to ac count for certain scandalous statements made- about him, charging ! certain things a occurring while he waa Presi dent of the M. C. and N. W. Railroad Company. The result of the confer ence was that Donan signed an im portant paper, of which the following is a copy : jseosho, aio., Feb. 7, 1879. l, Co . if. Donan, do hereby state that I know nothing against the characterof"LTP.
