Senator Evarte contended that under the blanket clause of the Constitution, authorizing Congress to lay taxes to "pro vide for the general welfare'' it was the right and duty of the Federal Govern ment to make provision for education. Under this loose interpretation of the Constitution there is scarcely a purpose under the sun for which Congress cannot appropriate money with the plea that it is for the "general welfare." Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in an able speech maintained, on the other hand, that under no construction of the Consti tution had popular education "been con sidered a part of the duty of the General fJovernment. Among the enumerated powers of Congress the care of education Kowhere to be found. But even if the Constitution contained the dormant and HleeninK powers claimed for it by the ad- vocates of this bill, the practical question was Why this power should be evoked. Senator Ingalls eloquently warned the South not to be unjust toward itself in ac cepting this tempting gift from -the Fed eral Treasury. He regarded the prone neos to call on the General Governmeet for assistance on every occasion as a most distressing symptom of a want of self-reliance. : The same wide difference which these speeches betray in the Republican party exist also among the Democrats. These differences began with the origin of the Government. Almost in the first Congress the attempt was made to destroy the Consti tution by the same loose interpretation of its spirit that is given by the advocates of the lilair bill, but the Jeffersonian Democrat saved the Constitution by u xtricl construc tion of it provisions. The same conflict has been going ou ever since. Among the most active supporters of this bill are Southern Senators and members of Con gress, who are at no loss for arguments to justify the appropriation of so vast a sum. of public money. But the mere fact that a man labels himself a Democrat is no sign nowaday that he has any respect for tradi tional Democratic principles. On this ques tion, at least, Senator Ingalls has ap proved himself a much better Democrat thah some so-called Democrats in the Senate. If the; Blair bill were not ac companied by a large donation from the Federal Treasury how vigorously would its Democratic supporters denounce it as an invasion of the domestic affairs of the several States! Hut the fact that it makes an appropriation off the seventy-seven million dollars is the potential argument in its favor that overwhelms all other considerations. Most Southern Representatives, how ever, agree with Senator Harris, of Tenn., that Federal power should never be exert ed in a State for the purpose of interfer ing with its domestic affairs, and that each State is the best judge of its own educational interests. These Representa tives fear the Greek even with their gifts from the Federal Treasury. Whenever the General Government takes in hand the work of popular education the inter est of the States in the cause will be re laxed. At the ; end of the seven years it will be necessary to go to the Federal Treasury for more and still greater appro priations, in consequence of the neglect of the States, and the final result will be ?the absolute control of the public schools of all the States by the General Govern ment. From this the step to other and greater encroachment of Federal power will bo easy and sure. When the States are Willing to abandon an important function under the tempting lure of a Treasury appropriation, the same bait will induce them to surrender all others, until they lapse into the mere dependents upon the Federal bounty. Then the work of centralization will have been accom plished, and the States, bereft of all rights and responsibilities of self-government, will cease to exist except as geo graphical expressions. North Carolina Insane. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTEN DENT OF THE ASYLUM. Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent of the North Carolina Insane Asylum has issued his annual report. It, is an exceedingly interesting paper, and is of sufficient public interest to justify reproducing parts of it. The whole report would be instructive, but our space forbids so lengthy a sketch. On ly occasional paragraphs are given. It has been our painful duty to re reject a lare number of applications for the admission of chronic cases, of long standing, and considered to - be hopeless, so far as reasonable expecta tion ot cure is concerned. This course was forced upon us, to prevent the re jection, of acute cases equally merito rious, and giving promise of improve ment and cure. i"jo long as the pres ent demand upon our limited accommo dations continues, there is no alterna tive but to adhere to this policy, as it is the only method of fulfilling the de sign of the State, not only to assume the custody of the insane, but to re lieve them from affliction and restore them to society. The consideration of this problem may be pushed aside for the moment, but is sure to recur. These unfortu nates are here, and to stay. Somebody must feed and clothe and care for them. They cannot be exterminated like wild beasts. They annot be left to perish in a Christian land. Citizens of North Carolina must bear North Carolina's burden of this weight upon civilization and progress. Individuals must do it. in the separate cases scattered over our domain, with irregular and often in in- dicious expenditurl of money, time and human life. Not nnoften does the pa rent 6r child follow the verv victim for wuomne nas sacnued tortune and health in the yam hope to relieve. Nor are the advantages for classifi cation to be overlooked, and the spee dy transfer td suitable wards, of those regarded as chronic insane upon admis sion, but who may nevertheless be won back to recovery through judicious treatment and unwearied attention. ine present history of this class is saddest of all; shut up-in some poor- house or jail, with the spark of intelli- gence ever' and anon flickering into life,only to be quenched at last in ab- solute dementia. Who can say how many absolutely sane minds, surroun- ded by the depressing influences ac- companying such alms houses the coarse food and rough clothing, the want 01 congenial society, tne aepnva- ; tion 01 moral means of stimulating the intellect, and exercising: the taste, the hopeless nature of the life who, I re peat, can say how many minds abso lutely sane, but accompanied by bo dies 7 enfeebled by disease, have given V j V 11 ar fVlAA A CrA W A1 rvlt t t OW yv? . " . " eternal, a never varying "depression ! btrong indeed must be the intellect that would not crow morbid, and fin- ally escape by some delusion, from the slings and arrows of a weary world, into some fancied world of its own. To save such tottering victims,4 to bring them within reach of hope and social recognition again; to surround them with the moral and ma terial blessings they have once enjbyi, to eh.ise away the phantoms beginning to invade their lonely hours with gris ly faces of horror, and to inspire them with courage to fight the battles of life once more surely, this is worth the difference between asylum treat ment and alms-house care surely any enlightened and honorable people will be quick to sanction any reasonable expenditure- in their powers which will effect such a result. The reports of past years are filled with appeals, to those who have the care of the insane, to bring them for ward for treatment while still acute and curable, rather than to delay until the disease has become.- chronic and hopeless of improvement. And yet, how often the history is repeated that application for admission is delayed until the friends of the patient have exhausted every effort at control, and the disease has passed its early stages; and the patient has become intolerable to the family or the community, and has to be removed for safekeeping, or to prevent the utter ruin of those upon whom the care devolves. Another subject of importance to the public welfare is the consideration of the disposition of the criminal in sane. The repeated decisions of the courts sending persons accused of grave crimes to this institution, upon a ver dict of insanity, are gradually filling our wards with cases that are unfit to be associated with the virtuous insane, and at the same time the room occu pied to the exclusion of meritorious ci tizens who are in no way connected with the calendar of crime, and who. if thus deprived of treatment, might steadily return to the useful and valua ble course of life which now know them no more. The frequent admission of persons acquitted of grave crimes on tlie gen eral plea of insanity, is subjecting pa tients of pure and moral lives to asso ciations utterly distasteful and degra ding, besides in many cases introducing persons into our wards, through the zeal of friends and ingenuity, of coun sel, whom we cannot believe to be in need of the medical treatment admin istered here. it cannot be doubted lhafc the estab lishment of proper quarters for the criminal insane within the limits of the Penitentiary would tend to dimin ish the burdens of the courts, remov ing, as it would, practical immunity from punishment which certain classes of offenders are now quick to invoke, in the belief that a brief stay at the Asylum may be a substitute for a pro longed detention in the Penitentiary, or worse. But whatever may be the views which policy would suggest, it is unde niable that the State has no more rii?ht to place the insane homicide, or thief or burglar, in daily and hourly intercourse in the same ward, and at the same table, with the virtuous in- 1 t "A" 1 J - sane, tlian a private citizen wouia en joy. What man would be willing for the test to be applied to his own house hold. This separation is enforced by most civilized nations, and is Urgently call ed for, to preserve the standard of the Asvlum as a hospital for disease purely and not for a refuge for crime, or a re formatory for the wicked. This regu lation of the criminal insane to a pro per ward in the hospital of the Peni tentiary, would go far to relieve our judicial system of some andm aires, not to say abuses; and likewise relieve this institution of an incubus which steadi ly impairs its influence for Rood. The Senate Disgraced. The Republican Senators have open ly proclaimed their purpose to reject nominations made by the President in cases where information as to the cause of removal of previous incumbents has been refused, ine farst victim of thi n i m r "a r r spitetui policy is Mr. meurraw, nomi nated to be a collector of internal rev itt --r m enue in west Virginia, mere is no pretense that Mr. McGraw is unfit for tne omce, ana the sole ground tor re jecting him is Secretary Manning's re fusal to furnish papers relating to the suspension of the former incumbent of the omce. 1 his is a distinct perversion of the Senate s power to "advise and consent" to nominations. The obvious intent of the Constitution in conferr ing that power was to secure the assist ance of the Senate in the selection of proper and fit public servants, and the only question before the body in this instance was: "Is Mr. McGraw fit for the position to which the President has nominated him ?" When the Senate put aside this question and rejected the candidate because its rights to, make in- quiries about another act of the Presi- dent was disputed, it descended to petty spite work and forfeited all right to puonc respect But how about the other victim of the Republican Senators' wrath. Why is an investigation of charges against Mr. John Goode ordered at the request of Senator Edmunds Doubtless charges in abundance against any Vir ginia Democrat are -eagerly made by Mahone's disappointed followers, bnt no attempt has hitherto been made to dignify tne gossip by making it the basis of a congressional inquiry. There is some reason then for the selection of Mr. Goode as the special object of the wrath of the Republican Senators. What is that reason ? The Sun of a recent date professes to answer this question. It says: Why does not the Senate committee on the judiciary give its real reason for refusing to recommend the confirma tian of Hon. John Goode as Solicitor General ? Goode will be rejected because of his connection with the Pan Electric scan dal. Attorney-General Garland would be rejected for the same reason if his name were now before the Senate. Is this true? The Sun is likely to speak with authority on this question. It is the principal organ of the West ern Union and Bell Telephone Com- Eany's attack on the administration, t is daily growing into closer relations with the Republican leaders in their assault upon the President. The Sen ators selected to lead the attack on Mr. Goode is Mr. Gould's former attorney, whose intimate relations with the Western Union millionaire were dem onstrated in the early stages of the fraud of 1876. Mr. Edmunds, it must be remembered, was the man who put Mr. Gould's private wire at the disposal of the conspirators to enable them to establish secret communication with General Grant at Philadelphia. The only incongruous element in the com bination is the Sun, but then, as we have already pointed out, the ties that bind our contemporary to the gre.it telegraph and telephone monopoly seem stronger than its prejudice against the conspirators of 1876, and have even been potent to stifle its familiar slogan, "Turn the rascals, out.'T There appears reason to believe, then, that the Sim speaks with authority when it declares that the true reason for this partisan attack on Mr. Goode is found in the fact he granted to the Pan Electric Company the right to use the name of the United States to bring a suit to test the validity of the Bell telephone patent. - If such be the case, the once dignified United States Senate has been made by its Republican members not merely the instrument of petty partisan spite, but the tool of a giant monopoly s greed and revenge. " A Virginian's Ho? pitality to the Confed erate President. From the Philadelphia Times. Mai. Sutheriin furnished the Con federate President and his Cabinet a cnue during the few short hours that the capital of the fading government was at JJanvuie. Davis's Cabinet The last time Mr was together was It was the day they During the dinner around his table. left for Charlotte the question of the final dissolution of the Confederacy was canvassed and the prospects of getting out of the country were treely discussed. It was agreed that in case the worst came an effort should be made to reach the sea coast and there securea vessel to take Mr. Davis and his Cabinet to some foreign port. The question of the ready means to pay for this service was also con sidered, and each Cabinet oihcer be gan to take an account of stock to tei how much gold or silver ne could com mand. Mr. Breckenridge had some thing like 8500 in gold, Mr. Reagan had something like the amount, and i i ii every one nan a greater or smauer amount. Mr. Davis looked on m sil ence at their investigations and was the last to speak. When the question was asked what his condition was he said: ''Gentlemen, I have not a penny but Confederate money, and only the amount of my last months' salary, which I drew the day before General Lee's lines were broken." Of course all were ready to divide with him, but when the dinner party was over Maj. Sutherlin's wife, who had laid by an amount of specie, took a thousand dollars in gold and handed it to her husband, with the instruction to give it to Mr. Davis after he had left the house. But when they reach ed the railroad and Mai. Sntherlin pressed the money upon the Confeder ate chief, he returned it with a great show of feeling, saving: "No, I will not take it. Something may happen in which you will need it worse than I, but this evidence of de votion on the part of your wife touches me deeplv. God bless the women of the Confederacy!" Good will , like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one. ' -- i i , - . - n m m: ... . . H Will Stay There. The other day a very good citizen a good man "from the ground up" asked us why we opposed a certain measure while so many were strenu ously ad vocrating it When we hare reacned the unworthy plane of favor- ; ing, or refraining from opposing, a measure simply because it is popular, in defiance of our own convictions, we i shall conclude that we no longer have a rightful place in manly, independent journalism, and shall want to retire. As we had occasion to say in a recent article, majorities are generally correct in the main; but whenever we fairly and really believe that we are right, though in a minority, we think (no body can be certain of p4or, frail hu man nature) we think will stay there as long as there is a fraction of a twig to hang the shred of a hope on. Observer and Gazette. Mrs. Viilard Refusei a Eoy al Request From the Chicago Mail. Mrs. Fanny Garrison ' Viilard, the wife of Henry Viilard, was recently ask ed by the Crown Princess of Germany to take the part of an English barmaid at a fancy fair in which that lady was deeply interested. The Princess and Mrs V are on intimate terms, and the former meant to offer her friend a compliment by the invitation, not knowing that the daughter of William Lloyd Garri son, like her father and brothers, is a total abstainer. Mrs. Viilard, although conscious that requests of the royal family are considered commands, de clined the intended honor. She ex pressed her cheerful willingness' to aid the fair, which was a charitable object but not in that way. The Princess, on learning the American lady's feelings, apologised. Total abstinence in Berlin or in any part of Germany, is so rare that nobody is ever suspected of being its advocate. The Clerk of the Supreme Court. Col. Thos. S. Kenan, of Wilson, has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the Clerkship of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, occasioned by the re cent death of W. H. Bagley. Col. Kenan is in the prime of life but 48 years of age and is gifted with rare qualities of head and heart which have given him an enviable popularity throughout North Carolina. As Col onel of the 43rd Regt. N. C. S. fY, he performed gallant service on the field during the late war, until he was griev ously wounded and taken prisoner on the field of Gettysburg. During-all the severest struggles of the Democratic party from the days of reconstruction up to 1870, he never faltered or wear ied on the canvass or hustings an in valued campaigner and leader, unmov ed by disaster or defeat. From 1876 to 1884 Col. Kenan filled with honor to himself and credit to the State the position of Attorney General, and the present nomination will doubtless meet the approval of both the party and the people. Observer and Gazette. A Short War Story. OEXERAL STONEWALL JACKSON AXI JU RAL EARLY AT HARPER S FERRT. Graham Davis in the Phila. Times. After the capitulation the Federal troops, numbering upwards of 13,000 men, were separated into several large bodies about the size of an ordinary brigade each, and it is quite possible that in the division their regular bri- fril nrfT'inr'ifinn moir VinrA Ivuin lira. served. These several bodies of pris oners where placed for greater secu rity and ease of guarding and to facili tate the paroling of them alternately between the different Confederate bri gades. In this formation the whole captors and captives were lying on the side of a rOad leading into the village of Harper's Ferry on the afternoon of the day of the surrender. Suddenly tremendous cheering and yelling were heard coming from the right, which were taken up rapidly and repeated down the line. ''What is the meaning of that?" ifather nervously asked a Federal sol dier of an officer of Branch's North Carolina Brigade. ''Oh, nothing, replied the latter laughing; "it must be Stonewall Jack son or a rabbit," quoting a well known expression of the Confederates when accounting for an tlnusual commotion. Sure enough, upon looking up the road Gen. Jackson was seen approaching, riding very rapidly, alone, some dis tance in advance of his staff officers. As he passed the Confederate com mands thev cheered him vociferouslv. to which ne replied merely by a stiff military salute without checking his speed. When he approached the red eral prisoners, to our surprise they greeted him with cheers as enthusiastic as those of the Confederates. Instant ly there was a change. Pulling his horse down to a walk, Gen. Jackson passed slowly down the line of prison ers, acknowledging their cheers with low bows and with head uncovered. It was a gallant sight this spontaneous outburst of admiration by gallant foe man and its chivalric aknowledgment. Possibly some of the Federal soldiers then present may recall the scene. Of a very different character was the reception of a Confederate officer by Gen. Jubal A. Early a short time af ter. Gen. Early hai been left in com mand to complete the paroling of pris oners, removal of supplies, etc.. and had issued orders strictly forbidding any one to go into Harper s Ferry. The place was filled with supplies of all kinds, and many anxious and longing looks were cast in that direction by hungry Confederates. At last a num ber of officers determined to try to get permission to go into the town, and selected by lot one of their number to "bell the cat" This officer approached Gen. Early and saluted. " What do you want?" said the Gen eral, not very graciously. "I came," replied the officer, "to ask permission for myself and my brother officers to go into Harper's Ferry . "H-'m-m," growled the General, "you know the orders, sir, do yon hot?" "Yes, General, but n "What is your rank and branch of the service?" interrupted the General, rather irrascibly. "Captain and quartermaster," return ed the officer. The General eyed him for a moment with a look that made the officer feel that charging a battery single handed would have been a relief, and said as he turned away: "My God! I thought so. Oh, yes, of course! Go 'long, sir; go long, go long? Well to Remember. That cheerfulness is the weather of the heart. . That sleep is the best stimulant, a nervine safe for all to take. That it is better to be able to say no than to be able to read Latin. That cold air is not necessarily pure nor warm air necessarily impure. I hat a cheerful face is nearly as good for an invalid as healthy weather. That there are men whose friends i 1,1 are more to be pitied than tneir ene mies. That advice is like castor-oil, easy enough to give, but hard enough to take. That wealth may bring luxuries, but that luxuries do not always bring hap piness. That great temples are built of small stones, and great lives made up of small events. That nature is a rag merchant who works up every shred and part and end into new creations. That an open mind, an open hand, and an open heart, would everywhere find an open door. That it is not enough to keep the poor in mind, give them something to make them keep ybu in mind. That men often preach from the housetops while the devil is crawling into the basement window. That life's real heroes and heroines are those who bear their own burdens bravely and give helping hand to those around them. That hasty words often rankle in the wound which injury gives, and that soft words assuage it; forgiving cures, and forgetting takes away the scar. Beautifying the Home. We have lately been reading a new edition of a work entitled ''Beautiful Homes," now published by John D. Alden, which seems to us to supply just the information needed by people owning small grounds and having mod erate incomes who desire to do some thing in the way of improving their surroundings. The work contains in formation and instructions on all such subjects as the laying out of roads and walks, lawns and flower gardens, the arrangement of dwellings, out-buildings and fences, the renovation of old places, plans of residences and grounds, the best trees, shrubs and vines to plant and how to plant them, the cast of these improvements and many par ticulars in regard to these matters which every one desires to know. It shows how people who live in suburb, n towns or country villages and own a limited amount of land can have many of the finer pleasures of rural life at a small expense. The author is a practi cal landscape gardner, and his rules arid suggestions are given in a plain, common-sense way that every one can un derstand. The work is free as possible of technienl terms, and is so interspers ed with glimpses of sunny homes, flow ers and trees, and other pleasant feat ures of happy country homes, that it can be read with pleasure and profit even by those who have no particular interest of the object of the work it self. We heartily wish that this book, or one like it, might find its way into every country home. If its s'mple instruc tions were carried out there would be more happy and contented homes than there are now. It would teach people that there is no need of living amid cheerless and uninviting surroundings when a little efEort at bringing in and utilizing the beautiful things around them would make their homes some ... , thing more than mere laces to stav in nights and ruiny days. If there is any place on earth that ought to be mside more beautiful than any other it is the home. The character of our ma terial surroundings has more to do than many us of think with personal character. Beautiful homes go a long way towards making beautiful lives. If a man analyze the characters of his five hundred friends he will be dumbfounded at the amount of treach ery he discovers. Yet if he will ana Ivze his own character he will sureiy find a five-hundreth part of all this short-comming. A. CARD.
