If the patient be refrac tory or docile the rule is the same; he or she must be admitted, and then comes the often per plexing question: What shall we do with the case to advance its best interest, and that of the patients with whom it is to be asseeiuted ? No institution proposes to cure all its insane, hence increase of population is inevitable. When it is taken into consideration that many patients come to this department confirmed lunatics, and who in numbers of instances have been treated in other asylnms for years, it is not eurpribing that the chronic insane accumulate from year to year. This is the history of all in stitutions where the physician in charge is not at liberty to refuse admission for want of room. The crowded condition of this department neces sitates the mixing of the noisy with the quiet patients In the open wards, always delaying and sometimes defeating the cure of hopeful cases. The placing of twenty-five or thirty insane per sons together in an open ward at night (as we are often obliged to do) results in constant dis turbances and loss of sleep to the greater por tion of them. Often the nurses have to inter fere in the night to restore quiet and to prevent the inllicting of bodily harm to some of tbe un fortunates. If the noisy patient could be removed to a building isolated from the main one. tbe comfort ana prospect of cure to those remaining would be greatly increased." The following table shows the number of pa tients treated, the number cured, the number of deaths, and the rate of mortality annually, from 1864 to 1869, Inclusive: Yeare. Treated. Cured. Hied.

The "Democratic Association of Penn sylvania" is about closing its career. That everlasting form of humanity, the "gentleman in the wood pile," has at last destroyed it. For many years this gentleman has been their sole principle of life; now he Is about to become their ending. In pursuance of the call a meeting was held in the wigwam, Ninth and Arch streets, last evening. Colonel Logan offered a series of res olutions as follows: Wherean, The Democratic Association of Pennsyl vania has fulfilled the purpose for which it was created, and being In a healthful political and finan cial condition ; be It Halved, That a committee of five be appointed by this meeting, one of whom shall be the President, who aniii examine into tno expeuiency oi seuung tbe liabilities of the association. RewHvrt, That the said committee, or a majority of them, have the power to dissolve this organization by the first proximo, and report at a meeting to be held en the twenty-ninth of this month. Tfcxohwt, That the conclusion arrived at by a ma jority of the committee be final. Mr. Lewis C. Cassidy, the President, then left the chair, which was then occupied by Mr. Joseph Meeary. Mr. Cassidy took the floor and offered an amendment, striking out that portion of Colonel Logan's resolution which provided for the com mittee dissolving the organization. He took the ground that no such power existed in the twenty men then present. The law gave them no right to deprive four-fifths of tbe association of their right of property in the manner proposed. Mr. Castidy expressed himself as perfectly indifferent as to whether the association was closed or continued. Speeches were also made by Messrs. Mogar gce, Berrell, Logan, and Robinson. Mr. Karnes made a characteristic speech, in which he referred to the new doctrines which were inaugurated by the new Saturday night speeches. He was in favor of disbanding the association at once; he did not want to see it go Into the power and hands of those who preached the new doctrines. He for one was in favor of a "white man's government," and as of late the association did not favor this view, it had better be dissolved. Mr. Cassldy's amendment was carried, and the meeting adjourned to meet again on March 29, at 734 o'clock, when the question of continu ing or dissolving the association will be settled.

The apparatus used for this rjurnose was procured bv the lecturer from tbe Inventor, M. Carre, in Paris, and with it he will make ice on the stage in the presence of tbe audience, and explain the process. As a curious illustration of chemical allinity tbe Professor, bavin&r made ice by means of fire, will show the converse and make fire by means of ice. This will be a rare opportunity for witnessing variety of most interesting and practically im portant chemical experiments, and those who attoua may no assured oi an unusually attractive entertuinment.

The clearings for the week show the moderate Increase of $110,752. which fact, in connection with the activity in the general loan market, reflects the conservative course pursuca by tne Dan us. mere is an in crease in the deposits of $165,383; in loans of $169,192, whilst the legal-tenders show an aug mentation of $401,379.

He gave notice that he would call the report for action on the 81st of March. Mr. Poland gave notice that he would offer as a substitute for the resolution one declaring Mr. Booker disqualified from holding the seat, he having according to the evidence beiore the Honse, held' the otTtce of Justice of the Connty Court for the county of Henry before the Rebellion, and had taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United Mates, and had, during the Rebellion, con tinued to hold that office, and had taken the oath to support the Constitution of the Confederacy; that he had voted to raise a tax of $10,000 to arm tho county militia In opposition to the United States Government, and bad otherwise supported the Re bellion.

Mr. Ward, a member of the Committee on Terri tories, which reponed the bill, addressed the House In support of It. Alluding to the speech made against the bill by Mr. Fitun, about a month since, he said that be could not imagine how any man could stand on the floor or the House and In the face of the country, In the last hair or the nineteenth century, and nave the effrontery to defend the Mor mons. He had expected Indirect assaults upon the bill. He had expected the representatives of the Pacific Railroad to work against it as likely to en danger their prospects, and he had expected the Bohemians of tbe press, urged on by considerations which perhaps they best understood, to attack mem bers of the committee, as had been done In a promi nent Chicago paper. 1 here were In Utah a hundred thousand people with millions of property, backed up by religious fanaticism, In the hands of unscrupulous dema gogues, on whose skirts hung all the crimes in the catalogue, lrom insignificant stealing up to mon strous murder. He had expected that that brigand chief would struggle desperately to maintain bis empire. The committee now proposed to submit the qtirsBion to the American Cengreis whether the in stitution of polygamy Bhould longer continue, and sliou d ride rough-shod over the land. Whether, in obedience to ike dictates of the age and of civiliza tion, the monster shall be taken by the throat and crushed out. The committee expected to have a vote on the question, and expected to pnt gentlemen on the record. The House refused to table the Polygamy bill by a vote of 40 yeas to 121 nays, and the discussion la proceeding. There is to be a night session for de bate and action. Tne previous question Is to be moved to-night, and the vote taken to-morrow. FROM NEW YORK. (Railway Accident. Rochester, March 22.
