RE RESULTS of the elections in Georgia
and North Carolina are still in doubt, at this
writing. The defeat of the Constitution in
the former State is claimed by the Demo
crats, Who boast, nevertheless, that they
have elected a Governor under itsprovisions.
We must wait a few days to know the truth.
The Associated Press reports frem the South I
are remarkably uniform in their rebel lean
ings, suppressing as far as practicable any ,
news which could gratify Republican& The
majorities of 10,000 to 20,000 in Louisiana
and of 43,000 In South Carolina place Re

Tun REPORT that Messrs. Groesbeck,
Evarts and Stanbery are yet to make
speeches in defense of their client, and that
Messrs" Williams, Stevens and Bingham are
severally to be heard for the managers of int
peachment, is very likely to be correct. Of
• course this Will delay the final submission of
the case to the latter part of the coming
week. If the Senate concurs in the propo
sition for an official report of its secret dis
.
cessions, the delay in the vote will be still
longer protracted.. Very few of the Sen
ators will bp able to resist the temptation to
spread their individual views upon a record
.of such.general interest, and we may look
for at least three days to elapse before the
first decisive vote is taken. We have an
ticipated this vote as early - as May AV, but
the country will be fortunate if it be reach
"ed even in the very last hours of the week.
Washington advices sustain our estimate
that thirty-nine Senators will vote for Mr.
Johnson's conviction. The proposition
that the discussions be taken down by the
ottela reikerters, is very significant of - the
_ _
opinions of &IWO'S, who would not court
such publicity in the interest of the accused.
El
Flamm of the President, who have fill,
ed the Democratic newspapers of late with
confident. predictions that impeachment
will fail :of a constitutional majority of the
Senate, may succeed in deceiving die credu
lous for a'few days longer. But the course
which events will take is plainly, enough
foreseen by Mr. Johnson himself, and by
all the leading 'Democratic politicians. It
is understood that he is already engaged in,
his "personal preparations for leaving the
White /inure ; that.the members of his Cab

efforts
to anticipate the order_ of, the public
business in the Biecutive departments, or
even to dispose of such matters arising in

out serious inconvenience, have been re

garded by all concerned, whether superior
or subordinate, as a certainty.with the close
o: the present month. It has even been

OFFICE
In Pennsylvania two Asylums for the
Insane,. mainly endowed from - the public
_treasury, have existed for a series of years.
In them about six hundred patients are
steadily under treatment. It is not pre
tended that this department of medical
science has attained unto perfection. Such
a condition can rationally be affirmed of no
science, or of any department thereof.
Whatever may be said of the comparative
certainty or positivity of surgery, as much
cannot with truthfulness be said of medi
cine; much less of that department of it
which undertakes "to minister to mind
diseased." Mental philosophy is confessedly
the most intricate and perplexing' of all
studies. This was wily Coleridge affirmed
that "metaphysics is the science, the evil
spirits in hell delight to discuss." Its sub
tleties and intervolutions, he assumed,
sharpened their wits, afforded the wildest
play to their faculties, and left them after
all in teasing uncertainty. But the medi
cation of insanity involves more. It neces
sarily takes cognizance of that intricate
point at which the intellectual and physical
—the spiritual and the material—touch and
blend, so that it is the most difficult of all
prOlems to tell where the one ends and the
other begins. Nevertheless, the modern
treatment of the insane has reached such
pitch of excellence that vast advantages
steadily result therefrom. Ameliorations
are not only numerous, but a very large
proportion of all the patients who are
brought proMptly under treatment upon the
first manifestation of the malady are re
stored to the normal use of their faculties.
Nor has an end been reached in the line of
improiements.
But these two establiShMents have been
found inadequate to the proper detention
and treatment of that portion of the.insane
for whose welfare the Vommonwealth, ac
cording to the prevailing conception of its
duty, onghtlo make provision. Not that
insanity has increased in larger ratio than
the Population; but that numerous classes
of insane persons who were formerly nn-
cared for, and_ either allowed, to roam at
pleasure or else were confined in out - buildings, are now brought under beneficent su
-pervision and treatment. Nor is this all.
A better understanding otmental diseases
has revealed the fact thatmany intellectual
:conditions, once rated as annoying idiosyn
crasies, or something of that sort, es
sentially abnormal and unhealthy, and are
amenable to remedial instrumentalities.
In consequence, a bill was brought before
the late Legislature to provide forthe eree
tion of a new asylum, especially intended
to accommodate a score of the northern and
north-eastern counties. It was felt that the
location of this additional house ought not
to be determined with a view to-aggrandiz
ing this or that borough, but SO to be
, •
reached most speedily and cheaply by pa
tients frinn the respeCtive counties directly
to,,he benefited; and therefore'corrimissioners
were named in the hill, who represented the
best medical idea's bearing on • the 'subject, ,
find altogether disinterested in other pp- - •
culaxs. .In this form the bill tree passed
inte-'it law; the locati;: a 101 l be. fi xed, and
the Houle m . lll .in Olitibl as the State shall
furnish the Indippensable maticy.
But, tho.bill did. 'not go through Without
serltiii~ opposition.,. Some .of, the 'members
were -resolved to strpngle it, if they could:
Thei did nothesitate to aVowthe belief that
,the insane were better off with no treatment,
,than, with such care as the , best medical
knowledge of the age can furmsh. ln fact,
they seemed to halt hetween two opinions ;
the first regarding Lnnatic Asylums as a
sort of inquisitional lock-up, where unfortu
nate men and women were imprisoned and
plagued to gratify mischievous. curiosity or
mistaken benevolence; the second, regard
ing such establishments as palaces where a
species of profeSsional dilittanteism, luitiri
ously pampered at pablic cost, displayed a
frivolous or mischievous activity. Rather
than this, they did not hesitate to avow that

tarqrtrt. In few particulars does the civilization of
thq present age stand in, stronger or, more
favorable contrast to that of ancient times
than in the treatment of the insane. The
great nations of antiquity made small ac
count of what are now known as the hu
manities. Citizens thereof made famous
repuiations by acts now esteemed of ordi
nary' decency and morality. Individuals,
and nations were hard, exacting, imperious,
unfeeling, blood-thirsts The animal in
their nature was not even measurably tamed.
Wild beasts not nnfrequently fall upon
such of their kind as suffer physical misfor
tunes; and either drown or drive them into
solitude. In like mariner, men and women
smitten with insanity were anciently driven
from among their fellows, into desert places,
as frowned upon by the Alirdghty and
possessed of unclean spirits. Afterwards,
as the notion of demoniacal possession dis
appeared, the insane, instead of being driven
into "Wildernesses, were shut up, manacled,
_starved, scourged, and subjected to the
most revolting barbarities. At length civil
ization rose so high, in advanced and ex
ceptional individuals, that a wiser and better
system was conceive.' and introduced. By
these, insanity was pronounced a mental
disease, and treated accordingly: Now,
conunonwealths build palaces for the custody
and treatment . of those whose minds are
disordered. Communities have risen to the
plane occupied only by the foremost among
them a half or quarter of a century ago.
How vast the change! Formerly forts, cas
tles, dungeons, amphitheatres, highways
and acqueducts; these, and such as these,
only. Now, they erect and' sustain schools
for the ignorant, hospitals for the sick,
homes for the destitute, and asylums for the
deaf and dumb, the blind and the insane.
Civilization never attained this altitude

An article entitled, "The Morality, of
Hop-raising," in the Advance, (a Congrega
tional paper) of Chicago, presents the obli
gations of professing Christians in rather
a new light, and will be unsavory to tlMse
Christians who believe in making money r at
the expense of correct morals. Hops being
moderately - narcotic, they have a tendency
to quiet the nerves and Induce sleep. This
„Element enters into beer manufiictured
from hops, and produces more or less effect
on the nervous system, and classes with tb-
liacco and epium. Hops are not used for
food, clothing and fuel. They are not
needed for the support, comfort and elcva-
Ition of human life. Their culture not only
works against the interests of the beer
drinking poor, but the teMperate and indus
trious poor. Every acre put to hop raising
enhances the prices of progucts by pre
venting the -raising ofgrain or corn and other
useful articles. Hops are needed for yeast,
but' very little yeast is ' needed. Many
Christians and temperance men have been
induced to raise them because it is said they
are good for tanning, but this is denied, as
tanners cannot afford to pay over six to
eight cents per pound for such purposes, and
they are not used. The assertion is a mere
trick of the trade to induce rood men to .
Iraise them. Their commercial value and
profit arise solely from their use in the man
ufacture of beer, and beer drinking being on
the increase in the !United States, their
value is enhanced accordingly. Hop raising
for commercial purposes is a labor promo
tive of intemperance. The duty of Chris
tians and temperance men is plain not to I
raise them, as there is a responsibility in
volved that will work to their spiritual det.
I riment. Some persons attempt to justify
hop raising, 'by classing hops with corn.
Corn is made into whisky—hops into beer.
But corn constitutes food, and is mainly
cultivated and used for it,- Probably nine
teen-twentieths is thus consumed by man
or beast. But hops do not constitute food,
and every "hop-raiser must know that nine
teen-twentieths of his hops go to swell the
tide of drunkenness." The great pecuni
ary profit, is the source of temptation to
raise hops. and professing Christians and
temperance men are induced to hush the
throbbings of ‘ conscience, by imaginary
arguments, without any real foundation for
them.
iQuite a number of distinguished ministers
and educators have been removed by death
Within a short time past. Rev. Dr. Baugh
man, for forty years cOnnected with the
Pennsylvania Lutheran College, at Gettys
burg, has been suddenly cut off. For, eigh
teen years he was its Proident, - tilling the
position with signal ability. Nearly abbut
the same tinie,.Rev.- Dr. Johnson, President
of Dickinson College, under the care of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, died after a
brief illness. Scarcely more than: a month
ago we sat near Lim in Exeter street Church,
Baltimore, during the Session of the East
Baltimore Conference, while he WaS arrang
ing work connected with the College, for
the ensuing summer. Little .did we think
he would be called away suddenly and so
soop. Intelligence has just reached us of
the death of Bishop Hawks, of the Protes
tant Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. For
twenty years he has filled the office of
Bishop, during which, time the Episcopal
Church in Missouri greiv to large propor
tions in numbers and wealth. Ho was
very popular and fraternal with the clergy
of St. Louis, of every Emme. It is not a
great while since Dr, Maclean, President of.
Princeton College, passed away from earth
to the better land. His loss was keenly
felt._

The Action of Senate, -
The senate, after the close of the argu
ments, will go Into secret session for con
sultation. A proposition will be offered by
Judge Edmunds to admit the official report
ers, so that the speeches of Senators may
-be taken down and printed with the report
of the trial, and half a dozen members are
already known to be in favor of such pro
cedure, while several will oppose it strongly.
The vote on the separate articles of im
peachment will be taken in open Senate on
Wednesday or Thursday, probably, of next
week. When the question arises of pro
nouncing judgments, in case one or more
articles is sustained, the Managers will
make the usual demand, and the Senate may
possibly then retire again for consultation.
At this point an interesting law qUestion is
likely to be raised. The .Constitution says
a two-thirds, vote shall be necessary to con
viction. but is silent as to the vote on the
judgment, and the question is whether the
majority or two-thirds must agree to the
sentence. Some of the lawyers in the Sen
ate are looking up authorities on this head-
The majority sr,: doubtless in favor of dis
qualifying Mr. Johnson from ever holding
office again ,in case lie is convicted, but it is
not certain that two-thirds- would agree to
this sentence. When judgment has been
determined it will be pronounced by the.
Chief Justice. It is not necessary that the
:President should be prigent when this is
done. Here the ffinctions of the Court will
cease, and the Chief Justice will not appear
in any further proceedings-- Wash. Lette

The Lancaster and Delaware Railroad
bill having been passed by the Legislature,
the citizens of the Old Guard county are
also busy devising ways and means to avail
themselyes of the franchises conferred by
this last charter. The ultimate connec
tions of this
_proposed road are exten
sive. • From • Lancaster, via Hinkletown
and Morgantown, it can connect with
the Wilmington and Reading Railroad
at _or near Springfield; and thence via
French Creek _to Pficenixville, there to
connect with the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad; and thence proceed the
Perkiomen and its east branch, to the Dela
ware river at or near Point Pleasant. From
the Schuylkill, at the mouth .of French
Creek, to the Susqueluinna,- at the mouth of
Swatara, there is a fair ground .for a oheap
freight line. While speaking of the' rail
road interests of this section of the Sate,
we observe that Hon. Henry L Cak6 has
introduced into the House of Representa
tives at Washington a bill "authorizing the
construction of a new railroad from Wash
ington to the Schuylkill river, Schuylkill
county, in this State. It is provided that
the road shall run from Washington to the
Northern Central Railroad, and thence by
way of Marietta, in Lancaster county, to
Lebanon and Pine Grove, and thence to a'
point on the Schuylkill river, in Schuylkill
county. The title of the company is 'The
Washington y and Pennsylvania Railroad
Compan.
The route, as above designated, needs but
a very little piecing to make it out at once, a
link from 3 1anheirn to Pine Grove being
nearly all, and that is already assured under
a Pennsylvania charter.
Forty-five miles of steel rails are laid on
the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, con
necting with the North Penniylvania at
Bethlehem. There was not a broken rail
caused by the trains between Mauch Chunk
and Easton during the winter. One hun
dred and forty four-wheeled coal cars, car
rying 770 tons of coal, have been hauleti
over eighty-five miles of the Lehigh and
Susquehanna Railroad by a single engine.

derful effects of "WHITCOMBIS 'REMEDY FOR
THE ASTHMA" on my wife: had suffered for
years more than my pen can deserlbe, with the spas
modie form of that terrible disf:ise. • As often as ten
or twelve times a year she wag renght to the very
gates of death, requiring twoj or three watchers
sometimes for several days and tights in succession.
At times, for hours, It would sefizu as if every breath
must be the last. We were oblia,bd to open the doors
and windows in mld-winter, sql to resort to every
expedient that affection eoultl l devise to keep her
alive. At one time she was so fait gone that her phy
sician could not count her pulse:;] At length I heard
of "WHITCOMB'S REIIEDY4 , It , acted like a
charm. It enabled her to sleep qUictly in a minutes.
