The State Lunatic Asylum.
'We have received the annual report of the
trustees and superintendent. of the State Ln•
natio' Asylum of Pennaylvanla, located at Hai•
The usefulness of this Institution is
fully demonstrated by the fast that all the fa
* Ogles it afferdie for the confinement and treat.
went of the insane are required to till the de_
naandil made upon it. During the year 1859
one inandred and forty-three patients were ad.
-witted, and one hundred and thirty-six !era
discharged or died; leaving two hundred and
seventy-four under care' at the close of thci
year. Of those remaining in the hospital, one
hundrbd: and eighteen'are supported by their
friends, and one hundred and fifty-six by the
public' authorities. Of those discharged du
'ring, the year, thirty-one were restored to
health, thirty-nine iu various states of im
provement, forty-three were stationary,—and
twenty-three, died. Of the patients now in
the hospital, one hundred and forty-nine are
males and' one hundred and twenty-five are
females. The male apartments 'are as 'lllll as
it was ever intended they should be, and there
is only room:tor a small additional - number of
females. ' '
The trustees urge the speedy completion
the bitildings,now in progress near Pittsburg,
for the purpose of affording relief to the con•
tral institution. They also suggest that insane
critetheis are dangerous inmates, as many Oi
them are distinguished for their ingenuity in
house-breaking, and thus liable to escape.
and addicted to many - *felons practices, and
that they are therefbre • improper associatef,
for. Mend persons who have never been
guilty of criminal actions. The, trustees re•
cotaineud' that a suitable hospital building feir
the ctjuidnal, Insane should be erected within
the bonndary-walls of our penitentiaries, and
' tho idea appears to be a good one. On the
12th of May last, the barn attached to the boa-
Oat wits burned down by a man who had been
an inmate of it several years ago, but had
escaped, and who, failing to obtain a' cortill-.
sate'-othonorable - discharge, some month'
afterwards fired the barn from motives of re
venge. . , -
A huge majority of the inmates of the hos.
pital heretoft
'sing natives of oar State. The most prolific
cause. of insanity appears to have been do-
Mastic troubles, 'one hundred and fifty-two
cases being, ascribed to it; one hundred and
thirty-six to ill-health; thirty-four to intern
perance; and forty-one to epilepsy.
The expenses for the 'year 1859 were fifty
nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-six
dollars and sixty-nine cents, and its redeipte
consisted of thirty-nine thousand and seventy
nine dollars and twenty cents received for the
board of patients, article's sold, &c., and an
appropriation from the State of twenty thou
sand dollars.
The Difficulties on the Texas Fron•
It appears by the correspondence of the
Texas papers from Brownsville, the city re
cenfly besieged by the bandit CORTINAI3, , that
' the defeat of that desperado has not , yet en-'
tirely 'restored tranquillity, and insured thi
Texas frontier from future attacks. It is tal
lbgad that the masses of the people of Mexico
on the opposite shore, in the region of Meta
mores, earnestly sympathize with CORIUM;
and his band—that they afford succor. and
, mbelfer to his force-and that, while the Idexl
can anthotities profess to be animated by aide
sire t o break up his organization, in reality
they are disposed to shield him, and to con
vert his 'force into a nucleus for an eaten.
sive organization hostile 'to the people of
Texas, along, the line of the RioGrande. '
It is reported that even since his late defeat
he has been seen 'several times, on the Texas
side of the river, with ;mill bands on ma
rauding expeditions. Besides, from, present
indications, be may be destined to play a not
unimportant part In the political affairs of
Mexico in. her present distracted condition.
Rig sympathies are warmly with the Miramon,
or Church party; and as the Liberal party is,
alleged to have been much weakened by the
late McLane treaty, it is feared that if the let-
Ml.ls not sustained by the armies of the
- United States; the tomer, will achieVe a
complete : military triumph, and regain, at no
distant e*
, day, the control of nearly the entire
country.
In this event our , treaty would be worth
:less, and we shoUld be obliged to again
ceinmence, on a new basis, the whole work
of iulfusting our relations with Mexico. The
runlet! that General WALSEI, of Nicaragua
fame, • designed . to. march to the assistance
of the citizens of Brownsville, excited much
feeling among the Mexicans on the opposite
shore. They drew from it the inference
- that, if Arrierican progress was 'not sternly
reiisted,.a fate awaited,them similar "to , that
of the people of Nicaragua, while that cella
, trriras under the control of the arch tilibus
, tor. Though the rumoi was 'without founda
tionOt furnished a basis for a great increase
•(if the iiTpicidleo and hOstility'whlch hae 'long
existed among the Mexicans against tho'peo
-' ple of the United States, and will exercise :no
:slight. Influence in prompting. them to hostile
acts against our citizens. It is said that when
ever an Americanyisits Matamoros, pelq hoot
ed;at as he voices throigh the streets, and it
livery evident"- from' the tone in which the
,Texas papers speak of their Mexican neigh
bora, that the old border feeling of hostility is
by , no means destroyed, and that occurrences
. of Oomparatiiely ' trivial nature may again
lead the , people .of the frontier into.a position
of 4tissi war. ' ,

We have already referrdd in ,general` terms
,to the nature and extent Of the task entrusted
to the commissioners. Three 'limes better
*own to the communlly,for talent,, experi
ence, and energy could net have been 'chosen.
the union of the men thus 'called upon by the
4tate there was a peculiar strength duo to the
long and unsullied service of Judge Kmo, as
Chief of onr criminal court, to the varied career
OW. Knox, as the president of a Court of Com
mon Piedis, as one of thelnstices of the Su
preme Court, and as Attorney General, and to
the large extent of private practice and of pro
bation as prosecuting attorney in our own
city, by Mr. )Vxxisrutt. In the second act—
that relating to criminal proceedings and plead
ings--there are such marked and thorough
going changes that itrie easy to see how deep
ly an impatient experience of the shortcomings
of 'our penal law has been felt. The necessity
of reforming it has been brought home to the
bench and the bar, as well to the representa
tives of the Commonwealth as to the counsel
for the accused. It may easily be seen,
therefore, how ineumbont it is on the Legisla
ture to take up the report now before them.
If the lawyers and laymen in our Assembly
:were likely to be satisfied with the reasoning
'and With the restate of the commissioners; if
there was any , prospect that the draft of acts
'here submitted could be adopted without dis
cussion and without alteration; if they could
then receive the Executive sanction, and thus
made law by authority; if it could at once
receive the hearty approbationpf the judges
who are to administer it, of the lawyers who
are to practice it, of the people who are to live
under it, we should readily and willingly ab
fitaln from any further reference to the report.
But as these c( ifs” are quite beyond the
hopes of the fondest reformers, it is as well
that laymen and lawyers, legislators and
judges, should be again reminded of tho re
port and Its contents.
In a dozen sections of the second title (In
' dictments and Pleadings) there is anew and
great amendment proposed, the entire remo
delling of our present system of painful aeon- •
racy in indictments, the abolition of all hair
' splitting on matters of law, when the matters
offset have been passed upon, a simplification
of the form of stating the charges against the
accused, and of the defence on which ho relies.
Instead of leaving to private prosecutors, to
district attorneys or their deputies, and to
form-books, the settlement of bills of indict
ment; instead of giving, after a trial by jury
on the merits, a trial by the court on the law,
it will be made the duty of the judge sitting
on the trial of a cause at once to decide upon
the accusation, whether or not it is well and
legally abated. At any stage of the trial the
judge may direct such changes as shall secure a
speedy, straightforward, and direct trial, on the
question of the real guilt or innocence of the ac
cused of exactly the crime for which he is there
on trial, and not of unseemly niceties of
the law. If any objection can be raised against
the reform of our ancient system of technical
difficulties, it may be stated thus, that although
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the ac
cused will receive just as much fairneaa, end
enjoy as full privilege as he asks or needs, yet
still there may come that one case out of tiro
hundred, in which the furthest stretch of legal
hair-splitting viii be required, in order to
defeat oppression, or to protect helpless inno
cence. If that ono case, by any of the thou
sand chances of the hurrying career In which
we are all living, should be ours ; should come
home to any one of us, who would be willing
for himself, or for any one near to him, to re
unwell a little of that very quibble of the law,
which scented so unreasonable in the case of
a stranger or a confirmed villain and yet we
are all alike to be stripped of technicalities.
Another important change is found in the pro
visions of the 53d section, abolishing the rule
of excluding witnesses eouvlated of infamous
crimes, but permitting the fact of such convic
tion to be given In . evidence. This adoption
of the English law ae it now exists, has many
reasons in its favor, the most cogent are well
put by the commissioners. Those of our
readers who - remember the fall debates of the
Legislature, last winter, on the question of a
change in the law of evidence in civil cases,
Will appreciate the arguments for and against
the change.
The closing sections of this third title t)f
courts) remodel the provisions
''' ; o appellate jurisdiction of the crimi
nal courts, but the commissioners have wisely
preferred to await the pleasure of the Legisla
ture for those changes, which should elevate,
first of all, the subordinate magistrates, so that
they may be entrusted, more safely than' at
present, with a larger discretion in all petty
cases, and then the judges would have leisure
and opportunity for the revision of the deed
stone of their associates and of their subordi
nates.
Yf the neceisary discussion of these bills be
carried on in the right spirit at Harrisburg; if
throughout the State a lively and intelligent
interest bo exhibited in securing an early
adoption of the new penal code; if its provi
sions be made living law by popular approval
and by judicial sanction, the results will con
vince us at home, and wilt prove abroad, that
the great law-makers of our earliest colonial
parloA, and the great law reformers of our
State, in its leadership of the first ameliora
tion of the criminal law, more than half a cen
tury ago, have found in our midst even now
good men and true to succeed and surpass
them In completing the penal code of Penn
sylvania.
Public Entertainments.
Tee Aosnxicr of MUSIC BALL.—From all that
we have been able to collect, we believe that the
Academy Ball and Promenade Concert, on Tues
day next, February 14th, will be a complete and
even brilliant swoon—provided that all the stook
holders of the Academy of -Music use any thing
like the energy exercised by a few of that body,
and take some pains to dispose of tickets. As the
advantages of success will be equal to the stock
holders, so should be the exertion in securing it.
Sorely , every stockholder can dispose of half a
dozen tickets? Some, we know, have sold over
six times that number. Again we say, Stook
holders, each and all, take a little extra trouble,
and exercise a little gentle influence to swore
such an attendance as will allow this Ball to be
recorded as the great lite of 1860. Looking
blandly on, with a nonobsiant air, while others do
the work, is the way not to do it.
CONCERT AT MUSICAL FUND HALL.—This even
ing, Signor Bauoarde and Signora Albertina Bau
oarde give a concert at Musical Fund Hall. They
have been greatly, praised In the New York jour
nate, and came to this country with a high Europe
an reputation, which has not been diminished hero.
The !other performers will be Signor Ardavani,
Signor Mecoaferri, and Mr. Pattison. This is the
Bauoardes' first appearance in this city, and we
bespeak a full house and fair reception for them.
CLASSICAL BOlREE.—Messrs. Wolfsohn Hohn
stook's third Classical Concert comes off this even

has appointed Sir Knight J. L. Hutoldneon, of Phi
ladelphia, his proxy to dedicate the ootemandery
and Instal the officers. A large number of knights
from Pennsylvania and New York will be present
to assist in the imposing eeremomes.
BEMUSE BENNETT'S MONTALY.—The second
number has reached us, and fully keeps up the
promise of the first. Mr. Bennett's own story is
capitol. We suggest the propriety of having
Notices to Correspondents, and such ephemeral
paragraphs as Notices of the Press, printed on
the cover, or so as not to bind up with the volumes
of the Magazine. Mr. Bennett, in very good tem.
per, justifies his having taken a story from a Lon.
don periodical and printed it In his first number,
without acknowledgment, alleging that the same
thing is done in English periodicals, and that some
of his own sketches have been so conveyed from
the Xepr York Ledger, " not only without credit
to the paper from which they wore taken, but
"occasionally with such alterations as to make it
appear that they were written by an Englishman for
as gogl*iptiblicatlon." Of Gouge, Mr. Bennett
.knows his own business best, but surely he should
not adopt the apprepriation system which he con
demns, and Which, - we repeat, is the bane of Ameri
-eart literary jenrnals.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
Letter from ti Ezell, Richards."
OmenPondettoe of The Pross.l
Wesumoros, Feb. 8, 1880
Tho Senate is cutting down the printing in a
somewhat indiscriminate manner. Today it re
jected the resolution providing for the printing of
the reports of Majors Mordecai and Delefiold, who,
with Capt. McClelland, were despatched to Europe
during the Crimean war as a commission to ob•
serve and report upon the state of the military es•
tablishments of the great Powers, and all useful
information connected with the science of war.
MoCielland's report was published some two years
ago, and has been found of great Internet. The
rejection of the labors of his associates by 95 to
21 was owing to the desire to print some extra
copies in defiance of a distinct law against such a
process of raising the profits of the printer. The
vote was a mixed one, and indicated in a very di.
rent, unpleasantly direct manner, the desire of the
Senate to keep General Bowman within reasonable
bounds. A motion to reconsider was not accepted.
Senator Male voted for the printing, and would not
vote for the publication if extra copies were not
printed. If the document was as valuable as the Se
nator from lslississippl stated it was, then it ought
to be circulated. As to what was called the War
Department, for the use of which Senators were
willing to print the report, be had not such an ex
alted idea of its use. The people formed the War
Department of the country. Volunteers and ml.
itia were the reliable soldiers and fought the bat•
ties of tho country, and he desired them to receive
the instruction if it was worth receiving. He was
opposed to War Departments and standing armies.
The report is said to be really valuable, and it must
be regretted that any attempt to ride over the law
was made, by which the document is thrown on
the shelf.
Senator Fitch, from the Gtmmittee on Printing,
brought forward a couple of resolutions touching
the publication of the Patent Office reports on arts
and manufacture in two octavo volumes and on
agriculture is one ditto. These ponderous pack
ages barricade the Indiana Senator while he at
tempts to gat them into the press. But it is an
evil moment for printing. The Senate has had
enough on that subjeot for one day, and Ranter
planting himself right in Fitoh's way says mon.
tally the thing is ridiculous, and aloud " I object,''
which nonplusses Fitch into disgusted pilot:me.
After the business hour the Post 0611ce bill ensue
up, under cover of which Senator Powell, of Reg.
tuoky, attacked the franking privilege in a forci
ble speech—not yet concluded. The thing has
gone wild. What was originally intended as a
means of communication between the legislator and
his constituents was now used by the families of the
former, and extended to many of the latter, for
their private business. He read numerous don
ments showing that the abolition of the privilege
would be a saving of four millions annually to the
Government. While be thus exposes the ill-usage
of the frank, it's amusing to see the steam
power velocity with which Wilson, of Massa•
ohusetts, is despatching " documenta." lie ovi•
dently thinks that there is a likelihood of a unani
mity against it, and wishes to take time by the
forelock.
Harem, of Indiana, is at last nominated in Re
publioau mittens for printer of the House. There
were three ballots. On the two first, Mitchel, of
the Bt. Louis News—the reputed organ of Edward
Dates—led Defrees by one vote, and on the third
the latter was only nominated by one majority.

Ward, Philadelphia, was read, asking to be
relieved from} Mary Glasapoole, his wife. It is a
Thomas Washington Crujtb ease. The happy pair
were married on the 26th of Decomber, 1859, and
separated on the 17th of January, 1880, Oa; the
birth of a baby Re became acquainted with her
on tbo jet of June, 1859, and declared that be was
not aware of the "coming event" that "cast its
shadow before" until the eventful 17th of January
last, although they lived together licost harmo
niously up to that time. Such ignorance is nn.
pardonable. Mr. Moore read a bill annulling the
contract.
Mr. Preston road In place a supplement to an

thence westerly to Seventeenth.
A supplement to the act to provide for the redits
tiOis of 4.opy‘to debt was read by Mr. Bisel, the
intelligent and actiye !Dauber from Northumber
land. It provides that any evuut7 p:yirig into the
State Treasury more than the quota fixed lyr her
by the Revenue Commissioners, for any year, shall
have it paid hack to the treasurer of the proper

but einoe his ultra g 9g thern speech at Frankfort,
Ky., they have concluded be would travel badly in
the Keystone State. I speak with:4 the bounds of
truth when I say that two-thirds of the Ppum
orats who visit the State capital are openly or
secretly for Douglas. A Buchanan office-holder,
and a delegate to the Reading Convention, told me
this morning that bo would likely vote for
Breokinridgo from prucbyptial motives, but
that there was no use denying the feet that
the "Little Giant" wee the man to nominate. Be
is one of a hundred whom I have heard speak,
within a week, in the same strain. If Stephen A.
Douglas was placed upon the ticket, and upon the
Cincinnati platform unabridged and unaltered, he
could carry Pennsylvania like a breeze. Any
other man—like Hunter, Wise, Joe bane, or
Breekinridge—with a protection-to•alavery in-tke•
Territories platform, would be beaten out of eight.
The Democracy here, in Pennsylvania, know full
well that they have got to choose between Douglas
and defeat, and they will not be long in making
their election. PENN.

The Mozart Hall Dammed° BMW Convention
has finished its work - at Byreouse by appointing
the following gentlemen dolegatea at large to the
Charleston Convention :
Delegates—Fornando Wood, John A. Green,
Jr , Gideon J. Tooker, Joshua R. Babcock.
Alternates—William G. Beardsley, Jamei T.
Southey, John Haggerty, Benjamin Uharnberlain.
Mr. Green is the partner of Canal Commissioner
Jayoox ; Mr. Tucker has recently retired from the
Seoretaryship of State; Messrs. Baboook, Beards
ley, Southey, Haggerty, and Chamberlain are very
respectable gentlemen, but do not oarry very
heavy guns in our Democratic State Conventions.
It was supposed that Greene 0. Bronson or Charles
O'Conor would have been associated with Mayor
Wood as delegates at large, but the programme
some tot. ave been arranged differently. In the
speech delivered at Syracuse, after his appoint
ment, Mr. Wood made the following allusion to tho
exciting topic of the day:
My friends, the time has arrived when the
North must have a thoroughly national party to
save the country. We mustgo beyond and behind
all hair.splitting discussion et'Territorial sovereign
ties. The danger has becomeloo imminent for us
to stop and to dimes the abstract rights of a
handful of men who seek homes in the wilderness.
* * * * *
" If the lifeblood of our common country is to
be exhausted, what matters it whether the
handful of adventurers inhabiting the Territories
of Kansas, and Nebraska ehall have or not have
free or slave labor? Is it wise to hazard the
continuance of the Union in a struggle to main
tain the rights of persons or property among a
people who are abundantly able to take care of
themselves?
"And if therefore, this Territorial qifettion is
not of sufficient importanoe ' viewed in any aepoot,
to warrant a continuance of this internal danger,
how much less conoomitunt—that of slave labor in
the States?"
Commodore Vanderbilt has formally tendered a
'attempt to take the delegation to Charleston, on the
payment of the running expenses only.
Many of our city congregations took mason, at
Christmas and New Year's, to make hindietne dona
tions to their pastors. The agreeable custom was re
vived on Saturday last, though the prompting came from
a rather disagreeable occurrence. Os Friday the rest
; deuce of the Rev. Dr. Rose was burned, and his furni
ture consumed, involving a loss of 82 000, on which lie
bad no insurance. As Dr. IL had recently come from
Virginia, and entered upon his duties as Associate
Pastor with the Rev. Dr. Spring, it may to presumed
that his superfluous funds were soon put in circulation
in getting himself comfortably housed. A loss of two
thousand dollars, therefore, was not to bs talked about
in the same cheery nonohalant way that our fellow•eitl.
zens talk of a dissolution of the Union. So, at least,

The town excitement of yesterday was the election of
Chief Engineer of the Fire Department Nearly four
thousand votes were cast. The opposing candidate,
were John Decker and John A. Creiger. The friends of
the latter were so confident, nt the close of the poll, that
they offered to bet, and did het, 0100 to 830 on his
election. The Deoker headquarters were tithe " Cot

in honor of hie election. The to•at vote stood: Decker,
