THE DAILY EVEfliNQ XELEGliAPH -111 ADELFH1 A FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1870. AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS FROM A QERMAN POINT OF VIEW. Am intelligent correspondent is contri buting to the lUustriste Zeitung of Leipnic, Germany, a series of letters on American subjects that are interesting in themselves and important as impartial criticisms of matters and things on this side of-the At lantic. The correspondent writes from Car lisle, in this State, and in view of the intimate relations existing between this country and Germany, we propose to reproduce some of the letters, at least, for the benefit of our readers. The following translation of the first letter will be found to be an able resume of the leading social and political ideas of the day as developed in the United States: Carlisle, May, 1870. The object of this and succeeding letters is to brine; the German people into closer acquaintance with the life of the American people, into which so large a German element is now incor porated, and to give, in distinct outlines, a pic ture of the influences under which men here act and live. Since the suppression of the fearful rebellion in the Southern Siatcs, whereby our country In curred a debt of thousands of millions of dollars, and lost over a million of human lives, the United States have stepped out of the compara tively lnsigniflcent position which they before that time held among the nations of the world, and have attained an importance undeniably and in creasingly felt through Europe. As a proof of this may be mentioned the present value of American bonds in the Eu ropean market, and the great demand for them. According to a letter lately written by the United States Consul in Berlin to Secretary Boutwell, Germany is overrun by mortgage bonds of different United States railroad com panies. This is an important fact, not only as evidence of the confidence felt by European money-dealers in the financial affairs of America, but also an indication of .the weight which this country would be in a position to throw into the scale In case of entanglement in the Old World, for by no tie are the interests of different nations so bound together as by their financial relations. The ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States (whereby the colored race, so lately held in the bondage of slavery, are allowed equal rights with the white citizens) may be considered as settling the negro question, which has so long agitated the minds of men la this country. Everywhere the colored people have celebrated this event with music, dancing, and general festivity, and already the political wire-pullers of both the great parties, Republicans and Democrats, are using their arts to gain the votes of the now Im portant black brother. Intelligence does not characterize the colored .population of this land, as a class: they are, taking them as a whole, far behind the white foreign inhabitants, who only receive the rights of citizenship after five years resi dence. There are, of course, individual excep tions to this, as, for instance, in the case of the colored man from Mississippi who now occupies a seat in Congress at Washington. As long as the old naturalization laws are in force, by which the most intelligent white foreigner can not become a citizen until he has been five years in the country, this fifteenth amendment biings some injustice in Us train, which will sooner or later make itself felt. But the desire to Improve the Constitution is not satisfied with this bestowal of citizenship upon the negro. Scarcely is the fifteenth amend ment ratified before a sixteenth and seventeenth appear, both taking strong hold of the social and moral life of the people. The proposed six teenth amendment recognizes God as the source of all things, and desires distinct declaration of the fact that the United States is a Christian land, while the seventeenth amendment would give to women the right of suffrage. The last named effort, especially, is causing at present much excited discussion. In many places socie ties have been formed, usually led by a few en thusiastic single women, whose object is, by any and every means, to obtain for women equal political rights with men. In the Territory of Wyoming, through which the Pacific Railroad passes, this has actually been accomplished, and a jury in a recent murder trial was composed chiefly . of women. The ladles cannot have found this duty very agreeable, although it came to them with their new political rights, and they received flattering commendation for their discharge of it from the presiding judge at the trial. But, In truth, woman would seem to belong more properly to her home than to the political arena, and that the better class of American woman fully understand this is shown by a peti tion lately sent to the State Legislature of Ohio, when they were agitating the subject of female suffrage. The petitioners set out with the prin ciple that they are not in any way inferior to man (which is certainly true), but that the duties which are laid upon them lu the nature of things are quite as important and sacred as those of man; that these duties claim all their time and energies if properly performed; and that they are duties which they alone can rightly fulfil. Their sense of the great importance of these claims upon them had led them to protest against efforts to burden them with new responsibilities, in meeting which their truer interests must Suffer. The result of this petition was that the Legislature refused to pass the bill granting suffrage to women. In Minnesota it was managed in a somewhat dif ferent way. The Legislature there passed a law by which the question of female suffrage should be submitted . to the decision of the people by vote. There is no doubt that through the influence of the better class of women the Tote will be against giving them the ballot, and the mouths of the vehement advocates of the cause there will be forever closed. It is indeed true that, since the late civil war, which carried off so many young men, there are more women than men iu the country and especially in Massachusetts does this difficulty exist. But here in America there is certainly a wide enough field for woman's activity, without her being obliged to betake herself to polities. The reverence and the protection which are everywhere in this country accorded to women are too well known to need my testimony. And Just this position makes it possible for them to enter many lines of employment which would elsewhere be attended with many difficulties. Many women now have occupation here as clerks and telegraphists; the Treasury otfk-e at Washington also employs a number of women, who earn their salaries quite as well, if not bet ter, than men. There Is one singular thing about these female employes at WasLiugtou. Most of them obtain their situations through the influence of members of Cougress, and rumor says that pretty faces and other like attractive qualities are often a better recom- ,rnend&Upn to these gentlemen than either needy clreumttacces or business capacity. In Chicago a lady has recently eaUblithed herself as a lawyer, but the public journals hate yot .given no lnformntion concerning her practice. Tosslbly she may have an eye to divorce cases, in which Chicago offers an exten sive field for activity. ENGLISH TREATMENT OF LIN A. TICS. The commissioners to inquire into the con dition of the English lunatic anylnms have reported a Rhocking number of cases of luna tics killed .by brutal keepers, whose favorite method of maltreatment seems to have been that of breaking the ribs and the breastbone by pressure of the knees. Here are some of the cases reported, which were officially in vestigated by coroners: reckhani House. rcckJim. In 18.-.1 a mid lunatic named Barnes had a struggle with his keeper and was thrown down on the Moor by the latter, and bis arm was broken. He died eight days afterward, and a post-mortem ex amination revealed the fact that fonr ribs were fractured. In this case Hill, the attend ant, got twelve months' imprisonment. Lolney JJatcJi Astlinn.ln l.r8 a lunatic named Swift was kicked, maltreated, and dragged about by a keeper. He died two clays afterward. Hie liver was ruptured and eight ribs and the breastbone were broken. The attendant was not punished, but Mr. Hose, the gentleman who conducted the U mortem examination, stated with remarkable frankness that ribs mieht be fractured with out any outward mark, provided they were squeezed or crushed and . not broken by a blow. There was a ball at Colney Hatch Asylum the week before. ballord WorUiouse.lrx 180.1, in the lunatic ward, a patient, J. M., had a struggle with two attendants, and died two days afterwards. Eight ribs were broken on the left side, six in more than one place. On the right side eignt ribs were fractured at one point, all in a continuous line. No one was punished. His son stated that, before his being in the work house, he had been accustomed to Bit on his father's chest in order to keep him quiet. jancasfure Vounly Asylum. In Mav. 18C;5. an imbecile male patient twenty-three years old, sickly and undersized, had a violent struggle with his attendant, who flung him on the floor. The poor fellow died in a few minutes, and a rib was found on examination to have been broken directly over the heart. Another attendant named Lord was present, but gave no help. The attendant directly concerned was reprimanded, but was for some time afterwards suffered to continue as head attendant in the ward, the visitors declining to dismiss him. Lancaster, County. In 1809, December 12th, a patient named William Wilson, in the same place, died suddenly. The body was examined, and it was found that twelve ribs were broken, three of them in two places. rrestwicri Asylum. in 1808, February 24th, a patient, T. R., died of general paralysis, accelerated by pleurisy and pneu monia tne last was caused by two broken ribs. The fact was only discovered by exam ination after death. No one was punished. ' Wakefield Asylum. In October, 1808, a patient died, according to the jury and medi cal evidence, irom natural causes. Exami nation showed that two ribs were fractured on each side. At the inquest it was sug gested that they had been broken after death, but, as the commissioners observed, "the facts disclosed were such as to account for them in a far more probable way. " No one was punished, Uarmartten Asylum. A patient died eight days after admission. Verdict, ''Pleurisy, caused by fractured ribs. " In fact, eight of his ribs was found to be broken. The assist ant-surgeon observed that "similar cases had occurred before, and had been unaccounted for, except by the evidence of the attendants. He believed that a person quietly kneeling on the patients cheat, the patient resisting. would be sufficient to break the ribs. " No one seems to have been punished. Jlanweu Asylum. In lbU2 a patient named Matthias Geoghegan, paralyzed and imbecile, died rather suddenly, the . medical officer "thought from pleuro-pnenmonia." Some bricklayers and laborers saw bis keeper, Jones, beat the deceased on the back with a ' fire-shovel; he then threw him on the floor, and walked backwards and forwards on his body, dragged him into the corridor, knocked his head several times on the stone floor, and kicked him in the belly. The assistant medical officer, Dr. Jephson, observed numerous severe bruises on the body. There was one on each buttock. and a peculiar-shaped bruise on the abdomen. This gentleman had sense enough to look with some attention into the matter. He said: "I teok off my boot, and it fitted the bruise as if it bad been kicked or trodden on." The wife exclaimed in court that her husband had been murdered and persons out of court might entertain the same idea but Dr. Begley still thought that he had died of pleuro-pneumonia; and, incredible as it may sound, the verdict of the jury on the in quest was, "Deceased died after receiving certain injuries from external violence, but whether the death was occasioned by natural causes or by such violence, there is not suffi cient evidence to show." Uanwell. In March, 1868, a female' luna tic, E. S., died of "inflammation of the lungs and pleura, consequent on fractured ribs and breastbone, but how those injuries werje in dicted there was not sufficient evidence to show." Six ribs were found to be broken, bnt the nurses who undressed her every sight either did not peroeive any marks of ill-treatment or did not report them. No one was punished. llanweU. In May the same year another woman, M. II., died of the same complaint. She was admitted May 1.0th, was examiaed, and was then free from all injuries; died on the 20th, seven ribs and breastbone broken. No one was punished. Uanwell. In October, 1809, the ease of M. Santi Niutri occurred. He died ten days after admission, with eight ribs and breast bone broken. No one was punished. llanweU. In March, 1870, a male lunatio died of the same disease. There were four broken ribs, congestion of the lungs, and various bruises on different parts of the body. The medical evidence went to show that 1 epilepsy was the cause of death, and the jury found their verdict accordingly. No one was punished. Here we have a list of thirteen well-authenticated instances of aggravated manslaughter committed with something which is only short of absolute impunity. It would appear I that the sufferers have invariably been pau- ' er patients, and also patients in the very arge asyluus iu which paupers only are ad mitted. llanweU contains 172H pauper lu natics; Coloey latch, 2K5"j Lancaster, 97.r; Prestwieb, US2; Wakefield, 1202; Carmar then, 18'.); Srtlford Workhouse, 137; Argyle, 129; Feekbauj House, the oulyprivate licensed house where such an event is discovered to have occurred, contains 2"0 pauper luuatio patient and C2 piivate -patients. AyplitJn'i Journal. IToreJgn Rotes. A trial, which It is said will be one of the moft gigantic on record, was about to take place In Hungary. The aecused are brigands, 800 in number, and It is expected lhat 200 of them will be condemned to death. The Armonia announces from Italy that all tbe mills la the neighborhood of Bologna had rioted on account of the tax on grinding. (General Cosenz had left Florence in all .haste for that city, fearing some disturbance. A .queer story is told by one of the Greek paHre. One of tbe military commanders having ollered a reward for each brigand's head brought in, tbe onpply soon became so extensive that suspicions wore aroused. Inquiry was set on foot, and disclosed the fact that with an eye to tbe main chance, the -so-called brigand hunters made raids Into neighboring villages, plundered them, and then turned tbe heads of their victims to account. In the case of the Queen against Hurt (the men in women's clothes case) the Judge had fixed the amount of ball at 1500 for the defen dant himself, and two sureties in like amount, with forty-eight hours' notice to tbe prosecution. In thecal of Flake, It was arranged that four sure ties in 500 each should be required, with forty eight hours' notice. Le Aord says that Mr. Cumming, against whom a warrant has been Issued in connection with the charge of per sonating women, went to Brussels Immediately after tbe arrcftt of Park and Boulton. and put up at one of the best hotels. As, however, he bad no papers, and could not give evidence as to his means of existence, he was requested to leave the country. The Nord adds that when he was called upon he had his hair In curl paper, and that portraits in which he and a friend were represented in women's clothes were found In his rooms. WATOME8.
