A QUESTION OF INSANITY.
On Saturday last a cane was heard in the
Court of Quarter Sessions which illustrates
the Terr objeotioaable manner in which our
insane hospitals are managed. Lewis E.
Rosenberg, a patient of Dr. Kirkb ride's at
the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane,
asked the Court to interfere, and release him
from what he considered an unwarrantable
and improper confinement, and this same old
story that has been repeated so often was
gone over again in this instance. Mr. Rosen
berg has property which greedy relatives are
niTons to obtain from him, and a he is in
bad health, confinement in a lunatic asylum
is found to be the easiest way of getting rid
of him. Mr. Rosenberg is a German by
birth, and a citizen of Ohio, where he was de
clared non compos mentis by a commission, and
was placed in an asylum. The burning of
this establishment was made the pretext for
bringing him many hundred miles away from
his home, and incarcerating him in the hos
pital over which Dr. Kirkbride presides, not
withstanding the fact that there are other
asylums in Ohio that would have received
him. There appears to have been no great
difficulty in inducing Dr. Kirkbride to receive
him as a patient, although that gentleman,
when called upon to testify, knew absolutely
nothing about the case except what he had
heard from others. Dr. J ones, under whose
immediate care Mr. Rosenborg was placed,
scarcely knew more than his chief, and Judgo
Allison, in summing up the testimony of the
two physicians, said that it was no evidence
at all, and without deciding tho case, as nei
ther side had presented sufficient testimony,
he ordered that Mr. Rosenberg should have
the medical attendance he desired, and such
other treatment as his physical condition
seemed to demand.
The alleged insane man when placed upon
the witness stand told a very straight story,
and declared that he was not now and that
he never had been insane. He had lost his
health some years ago while in the Arctic
regions, and was now suffering from con
sumption. With regard to the Ohio com
mission that originally declared him insane,
he asserted that the Probate Judge, under
the laws of that State, is little better than a
justioe of the peaoe; he was a man of but
little intelligence, and as a citizen of Ohio
Mr. Kosenborg claimed that no such magis
trate, nor his committee, had power or right
to send him out of the State where ho could
better have his case adjudicated. Whether Mr.
Rosenborg be insane or not, his reasoning in
this point is certainly correct, and no disinte
rested person will dispute it. He further
stated, however, that he had been confined
originally in the asylum at Newburg, Ohio,
but was discharged, on his own application,
at the first visit of the State Inspector, who,
by letter, pronounced his confinement an out
rage. As the case now stands betweeu tha
officers of the Pennsylvania Ilopitol for the
Insane and this patient, the latter certainly
has the best of it, and one thing is proven
very conclusively, namely, that patients are
received by Doctors Kirkbride and Jones,
and treated as if insane, upon entirely insuffi
cient evidence. Notwithstanding all that has
been said of late about the manage
ment .of this hospital, and the instnnj.vs
of wrongful confinement that havo
been , made known to the public,
it is evident that there is no obstacle what
ever to the incarceration of anybody who
may be troublesome to friends or relatives on
any account. The physicians of the hospital
will take anybody who can pay their charges,
on any kind of a certificate, and presume as
a matter of course that whoever is sent to
them must of neoessity be insane. They are
the pliant tools of schemers who desire to
get possession of property by taking this
method of getting the rightful possessor out
of the way, and whoever can obtain the sig
nature of somebody calling himself a physi
cian can procure the incarceration of an
objeotionable person without any questions
being asked by Doctors Kirkbride and Jones.
Sneh a condition of affairs is simply outra
geous, and calls imperatively for some change
in the laws by which sane persons can be
protected from this fearful imprisonment.
In no case that has been brought before the
courts lately have the physicians of the hos
pital been able to give satisfactory reasons
for the confinement of the patients demand
ing release. They appear to know nothing
whatever of their actual mental condition,
and from their testimony on the witness
stand it would seem that they consider them
selves as nothing more nor less than caramon
jailers, whose duty it is to hold fast to every
person that is brought to them, provided the
board bills are paid punctually. It is oer
tainly time that this sort of thing was brought
to an end, and some reasonable assurance
given that the possession of wealth will not
of itself be considered an evidence of insanity,
that will render the tender care of Doctors
Kirkbride and Jones necessary.
It is announced that ex-Congressman Whit
teaiore has gone back to his constituents in the
confident hope that they will re-elect him.
If this expectation should be realized, we
trust that he will devote himself fearlessly to
the task of unearthing and punishing every
description of corruption which differs in
oharaoter but not in guilt from his crime,
ne will thus make the best possible atone
ment for his own misdeeds. Let him inquire
whether votes are not sometimes sold as wl
as cadoUhips, and whether a consideratioa
has not been received in sundry cases for the
recommendation of candidates for Internal
Revenue offices as well as for positions at
West Point. There is no use in stopping
half-way in investigations of the purity and
disinterestedness of tho representatives of
the people, and the work of purification
6honld be continued to the bitter end. 1
ENGLISH BALDERDASH.
A remarkably fine spooimon of English bal
derdash has just been flashed across the
caVle, in the despatoh which apprises the
American people of the opinions cherished by
the rail MaU Gazette of the character and
capacity of General Washington and his pro
bable views of the present state of Amerioan
affairs. We are told that that journal has
given publicity to the following sentence:
"Though General Washington wm a man of nar
row views, neither wise nor acute, yet he would be
lost and astounded at the npectacle of affairs at the
American national capital now."
Ninety years ago, when Washington was
still fighting the battles of the Revolution,
the British journals of that day said muoh
more savage things of him than the Gazctta
ventures to ntter now. There was at that
time a bare possibility that the lustre of his
fame might be diminished in European cir
cles by such denunciations. But in this era
English writers imitate the folly of the sav
ages who shoot arrows at the sun when they
attempt to disparage the man who was the
leading instrument in wresting this country
from Great Britain. It is a matter of pro
found indifference whether they laud or de
nounce him, and all the diatribes they cau
crowd into their columns will not produce
the slightest modification of the verdict of
impartial history.
The only interest attached to the comments
of the Gazette is that which arises from their
absurdity. When it says that Washington
was "a man of narrow views, neither wise
nor aonte," it makes itself supremely ridicu
lous. Tho man who, tried by the severest
ordeals, achieved tho most brilliant suocess in
civil as well as military life, and who not only
justified the unbounded confidence reposed
in him by his countrymen during a quarter of
a century pregnant with momontous events,
but deservedly won the plaudits of the whole
civilized world, gave by his career a greater
proof of practical wisdom than the wisest
statesmen of Great Britain have ever fur
nished. If he had been a man of "narrow
views," his policy and his admonitions would
have perished with himself; but his utter
ances and his example have furnished, in in
numerable instances since his death, the best
guides in our great publio exigencies, and it
is not men of "narrow views" who, after
creating and governing nations, open up a
sure path for their future prosperity.
The concluding portion of the extract from
the Gazette is, if possible, even more absurd
than the commencement of the paragraph.
Whether Washington was wise or foolish, we
see no speoial reason why "he would be lost
and astounded at the spectacle of affairs at
the American national capital now." He
would no doubt see some things there which
would not command his approval, and some
things to regret, but no ruler of a past age
who returned to this mundane sphere could
be greeted here with more marvellous evi
dences of the fruition of his labors and of the
realization of his brightest dreams. He might
wonder at the expansion of the Union, the
extension of civilization aoross the continent,
the growth of population from three to forty
millions, the increase of wealth, the accom
plishment of his strong desire that slavery
should be abolished, and the estab
lishment of tho Government on the
impregnable principles of universal freedom,
but instead of being "lost and astounded" at
this spectacle, it would be infinitely more
rational to conclude that his heart would
twell with satisfaction and gratitude. When
he learned that the nation which in his day
was barely able, by extraneous assistance, to
vanquish the invading armies of Great Britain
after an eight-years struggle, now ranks
among the first-class powers, and that it far
surpasses England in military strength, he
might well wonder at her relative decline in
the scale of nationalities, but if be was "lost"
or "astounded" it would only be on acoount
of the wonderful rapidity with which America
had been gaining prestige while her old
oppressor was losing it.
The committee appointed to investigate
the circumstances connected with the passage
and veto of the Metropolitan Police bill was
to have continued its labors on Saturday last,
but no quorum being present at the hour
previously agreed upon, nothing was done.
At the rate of progress hitherto made, the
legislative session will close long before these
searchers after truth are ready to make a re
port. If it is their object to keep the people
in a state of blissful ignorance of the tactics
of the friends and foes of the Police bill,
they are adopting a good method to bury the
whole history of that transaction in oblivion.
A Bmothering committee, however, is even
worse than a whitewashing one, and if there
are to be any more failures to secure a quo
rum, the publio will be compelled to adopt
the conclusion that each side is afraid of the
testimony that might be adduced by the
other, and that they have tacitly agreed to
consider the rascality and corruption account
fairly balanced.
Wz abe glad to hear that ex-Secretary
Seward has returned safely to his native coun
try, but we hope most fervently that he has
not brought baek with him the draft or out
line of any new treaty for the purchase of
foreign territory, ne is welcome to all the
satisfaction be derived from a personal in
spection of Alaska, and we shall not quarrel
with posterity if it disoovers, at some remote
period, a plan whereby that acquisition may
be rendered more of a benefit than a burden
to the American people. But we dread the
influence on his susceptible nature of the
charms of Mexico, and there is great danger
that he improved the occasion of his visit to
the halls of Montezuma to hasten or promote
the exchange of leagues of barren land for
millions of good coin of the United Statos.
If such a thing is possible, an injunction
ought to bo issued by the Supreme Court
restraining him forever from any future mani
festations of the mania which has already
cost taxpayers a round sum, and is likely to
cost still more before the white elephant on
our Northwestern frontier is disposed of.
A UD1T01UAL ItXFOttM.
Mr. Elliott's Bill providing that parties
interested in any estate may agree upon their
own auditors has passed the House aud has
gone to the Senate, where it was objected off
tho calendar by Mr. Nagle, Democratic
Senator from Philadelphia. This bill pro
vides for a wholesome reform in the matter
of the appointment of auditors, aud it ought
to be passed.
It has received very general approval from
leading members of the bar here, without re
gard to politics, and indeed the only persons
known to object it nre those composing tho
small ring of court favorites who are billeted
upon estates against the wishes of all parties
concerned. Tho evil to be remedied is a
crying one, and it will not do to lot it bo
passed over.
An examination of the record of tbe
Orphans' Court will show that the criticisms
of the press ou the abuses in the appoint
ments have been far from producing a reform
in the Court itself, and that legislative pro
tection is imperatively demanded. Of the
January appointments wade by the
President Judge, three or four
favorites have two appointments
each; another four, aud another, is up-
pointed auditor in no less than six ctsos.
This for one mouth is putting it on pretty
thick. Let Mr. Elliott's bill, which is tho
most practical remedy yet devised, be passed
by the Senate.
The Dukk of Richmond has at lant turned tip as
the new Conservative leader la the House of Lords.
Affer the death of the lata Hurl of Derby Lord
C'llrus tried to maiiasrit the Tory peers for a while,
but soon gave up the trial In disgust. The new Earl
of I'erby, so well known as Lord Htnnley, had lieeit
loot ed upon as the nntural sunceHaor to hi father,
and If he had been willing tu rcc-iive It, the Conser
vative leadership would have fallen to his lot with
out question or dissent. But his liberal Incllnatlous
forbade his acceptance of the position, and Mr. ls
KVsli was forced to go a-begging for some one to
marshal his forces In the t'pper House. At one ti:nt
It was thought that the Marquis of Ahercoru would
be Installed In the vacant leadership, but til's
scheme failed, and after several other name had
teen presented aud dlseus-UMl, Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox.
K. ., sixth Duke of Richmond, was
fixed upon and accepted the trust. The new Con
servative leader Is the eldest sou of the late Duke,
who died in October, 1S60, aud was boru on the li'tU
of February, 1818. He was educated at Christ Church
Collcge.Oxford, and hU first public service wai la the
army, In which he became a captain In 1844, serving
as an sld-de camp to the lato Duke of Wellington
from 1842 to 1802, and in the same capacity with
Vlcount Hardinge from 1952 to 1351. In March,
IBM), he was appointed President or the Poor Law
Board aud a Privy Councillor, but rosigncd lu June
or the same year, ou the overthrew of the Drby
ministry. February T, 186. he was made a Knight
of the Garter, and ou March 8 of the same year was
appointed President of the Board of Trade, In the
third Lierby administration, holding the position
until Its Dual overthrow lu November, 1SU8. In July,
1841, he entered the House of Commons in the Con
servative Interest, as a member from West Sussex,
and held this seat until Ms elevation to the House
of Lords, by the death of his father, on the 21st of
October. 1S60.

It'a my belief
An entry tiller
Has stolen my overcoat I
Ana I'd be glad
If 1 only had
Toe gentleman by tbe throat !
Onlwhataslnt
lie entered In
In darknetis of Uie night
Sly as a mouse,
lie robbed the houae,
And quietly took his flight.
The Coat was old,
1 he fellow was cold,
And doubtless fancied this blue one;
But I think I II call
At the GRKAT BKOWN HALL,
And buy me a splendid new one.
Oh I GREAT BROWN HALL I
Full of garments all
To take the place of the lost one ;
I'll go and try:
And I'm sure I can buy
This morning, belew the cost, one I
That's the Ides, good friend! SKLLtNQ BELOW
