an expose of the horr.ble treatment
meeted ont to inmates in the'govern
ment lunatic asylum, more terrible to
relate than any thing that ha- ye; Ke
unraveled AMU that sink of INIQUITY
and national disgrace, the capiu fthi
nation. A correspondent of the V, -C '.
of 17 saya: The testimony bef re the
Committee on Kxjwmditnrvs in the In
terior Department to-day di.-ck -ed ..
condition oftfiun at the Governt.
lunatic Asylum in this District n. re
horrible than can easily be believed.
The principal witness was Geo. M. ikuv.
at one tiniO a soldier in the regular army
and afterwards an assistant at the asy
lum. His testimony go-day f.,.rlv
curdled the blood of those w ho heard i;
it was a tale of snch brutal treatment
and in gleet. He swore positively that
many patients there had IK, a tin wn
into filthy cells with nothing but a ! ;n
--ille of straw to lie upon. Eteiy morn
ing a servant would come round with a
wheel-barrow to remove the excrement
hut the straw was merely shaken up
like the Straw in a stable and left in the
cell. The patient's only bed was
until it became so fetid that it had to i
carted away, when a new bundle w\.
brought in and the process reixtated.
The most atrocious case cited was th:.
of a certain General Loomis, who had
been an officer in the regular array.
When brought to the asylum he was old
and perfectly helpless; yet old and he I; -
less as he was, he was left to wallow in
liis tilth on the floor, until when the
witness saw him, as he said, the born -
of the poor man's shoulder blade
knees and elbows had actually w
through the flesh, and he was literally
devoured with vermin. This patient
finally died there. The witness also un
derstood that General Howard came
once to see General I.oomis. but was
told that lie was asleep. Mrs. Murphy,
another witness testified that her hus
band was sent there at the instance r-f a
certain benevolent society in thiwclty.
she called often to scejhim; always;" ... 1
him covered with vermin and often
covered with severe bruises, which hoi
husband said were caused hy a'
Finally lie died there suddenly om
Wednesday. The proceeding .-at unlay
she saw him and he was well, and w!
they brought the body to her the fa a
was covered with bruises which wire
not there Saturday, site believi l tin.:
his death was hastened 1 y violence
The committee are determine,i to pr< K
the matter to the bottota.
The sum corruptly spent by GrantV
orders out of the secret service fund to
help his own election i 3 *\ in
New York alone.
Mr. Cauiflcid's counuitteo scut to the
Treasury Department and secured tl.,
Ixvoks in which these accounts were
audited and which reftr to the expendi
ture—a lav ith and doubt lew an im
proper one —under the Enforcement n
Election laws. There were first paid t
the United States Marshal and hi de;
ties, Ac., f.86,000 in that year. N vt
comes an expenditure of Spyi o, in
which f-XiO are* charged for carriage hire
f-150 for a room at the Fifth Avenue Ho
tel, Ac. This is followed by a payment
to Davenport of over SIB,OOO. In addi
tion to all these amounts :22,C ) wen
taken from the Secret Service Fund and
paid over to Davenport, making a ! til
expenditure, in round numbers, of over
$140,000. The Presidents has decided
that if the Republican members of th,
committee want him to testify !;• will
go on the stand, otherwise not. He is
so worried at the continued develop
ments of crime in and around his Ad
ministration that he went to Philadel
phia on last Saturday afternoon to seek
rest aud comfort and consolation with
Borie and Chi Ids.
About a month since Daniel McCruly
of Tiffin, 0., moved to Kansas, '"0
miles distant, taking a shepherd dog
with him. The day after his arrival the
dog disappeared. On Wednesday hi
turned up at Tiflin, well though foot
sore, havingevidently walked the whole
-distance.
Gov*, llaves, of Ohio, hits issued a pro
clamation, declaring that the reign of
terror in the coal regions of the Tuscara

Mud that whenever the civil authorities
Inform him that they are unable to pro

he will send a military force ,for their
protection.
From present indications the grain
cropin Europe is likely to he short,
while in this county the prospects for an
average or even a full crop are very
good. A partial failure of the European
crops will, as a matter of course, furnish
a market for the American surplus, and
enhance the prices of grain in thiscoun
try."
There arc 02,502 churches in the United

It appears to be the determination of
