It is fair to mention that the laws of Illinois are
most enlightened and humane, and that the State is
not liable to injurious reflections on account of these
exposures. The blame is to be divided between the
Superintendent, Dr. McFarland, and the trustees,
whose laxity permitted these abuses to continue unre-
dressed fur so long atime. Then again, there is an in-
evitable tendency in human nature to abuse its power,
and trample upon the defenceless, Of. course, means
are in progress to remedy these abuses, but the exposures
that have been made prove that the laws for the pro-
tection of the insdne require constant watebfulness and
supervision by the humane,

Times says that mysterious uoises have been recently

appalling sights, âThe noise generally assumes the
character of unearthly wails, such as no ventriloquist
could make, aud appears ta come from the vault of a

that the jail is haunted by the spirit of a murderer
named Fleming, who was executed vearly two years
ago. One of them, a coloured map, named William
Jouves, says that he awoke one night ia his cell and
saw the figure of a man hanging with a strap arovud
his neck to the gratiug which opens into the veuti-
lator from the ceiling. He says that the fright over-
came him to such an exteut that he fainted. Within
the past two weeks the deputy sheriffâ who have

to the cells of prisoners whom they found in parox-

much frightened to utter a word, they felt a cold,
rushing wind sweep through the cell, chilling each

to swing violently open aod shut again. Then all

CRUEL TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.
_ [Brom the New York Com, Advertizer. J
The recent exposure of the secrets of the Illinois
fusane Asylum proves that Mr. Charles Reade's des-
cription of the horrors of madhouses Was in no respect
exaggerated, A special committee of the Illinois Le-
zislatune mtkes some amazing revelations of the harsh
uvatiment of the iemates of the State Insaaé Asylum,
at Jacksonville, The mort horrible condition of affairs
prevailed: in. that inssivution, The really excellent
laws formed for its management and the protection of
ithe helpless inmates were openly violated, Persons
were reevived for treatment without the forpality of a
jury, according to the State laws, and others were kept
âhere cOntrary 16 law and necessity, The inmates,
averaging some 330 in nuntber, half males and half fe-
aves. were subject to the alwost irrespunsible care of
some thirty male and female attendants. How these at-
rendants abused their trust and inflicted the. most bor-
rible eraeltios upon the helpless patients ander their
control, is revealed tn the report of the investigation
comimnittee, with a dry offic! precision that excites a
deeper interest than the mere bighly wrooght deserip-
tion of novelists. All fi attendants were not culpa-
ile. Some ot them were humane persons, bat a sutli-
cient Number were guilty of cruclties that are repulsive
to humauny. :
We. can only spevify a few of the charges reported
by the Comonttes,, âThe tervible punishment of the

female patients, some Of whom died under dndia con

An amnsing incident occurred yesterday in the
Dubliu head police office. A boy named Convill,
au apprentice to a chimney-sweeper, was charged
with having attempted to commit « telonious assault
ou bis masterâs daughter, The charge was proved,
aud he was seatenced to be imprisoved for fourteen
days aod kept to hard labor, While awaiting the
arrival of the policeman who was to briog him to
gaol, he was placed iu a room at the basement story
of the court, which was used as a lock-up, and there
left in company with other prisoners, it was suppos-
ed in safe custody. Searcely, however, had the key
been turned in the door, when, turniag to account
his protessiona! skil!, he plunged into the chimoey,
ascended the flue with amugzing agility, end getting
across the roof descended avother chimney aud made
good his escape. His fellow prisoners gazed in envious
admiration aud bore without a murmur the murkey
shower which came down upon them durivg his
flight. âThe expression of disappointment iu the
face of the constable in charge when he found that
bis vigilance had been baffled, would bave formed

It is fair to mention that the laws of Illinois are
most enlightened and humane, and that the State is
not liable to injurious reflections on account of these
exposures. The blame is to be divided between the
Superintendent, Dr. McFarland, and the trustees,
whose laxity permitted these abuses to continue unre-
dressed fur so long atime. Then again, there is an in-
evitable tendency in human nature to abuse its power,
and trample upon the defenceless, Of. course, means
are in progress to remedy these abuses, but the exposures
that have been made prove that the laws for the pro-
tection of the insdne require constant watebfulness and
supervision by the humane,

CRUEL TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.
_ [Brom the New York Com, Advertizer. J
The recent exposure of the secrets of the Illinois
fusane Asylum proves that Mr. Charles Reade's des-
cription of the horrors of madhouses Was in no respect
exaggerated, A special committee of the Illinois Le-
zislatune mtkes some amazing revelations of the harsh
uvatiment of the iemates of the State Insaaé Asylum,
at Jacksonville, The mort horrible condition of affairs
prevailed: in. that inssivution, The really excellent
laws formed for its management and the protection of
ithe helpless inmates were openly violated, Persons
were reevived for treatment without the forpality of a
jury, according to the State laws, and others were kept
âhere cOntrary 16 law and necessity, The inmates,
averaging some 330 in nuntber, half males and half fe-
aves. were subject to the alwost irrespunsible care of
some thirty male and female attendants. How these at-
rendants abused their trust and inflicted the. most bor-
rible eraeltios upon the helpless patients ander their
control, is revealed tn the report of the investigation
comimnittee, with a dry offic! precision that excites a
deeper interest than the mere bighly wrooght deserip-
tion of novelists. All fi attendants were not culpa-
ile. Some ot them were humane persons, bat a sutli-
cient Number were guilty of cruclties that are repulsive
to humauny. :
We. can only spevify a few of the charges reported
by the Comonttes,, âThe tervible punishment of the

female patients, some Of whom died under dndia con

An amnsing incident occurred yesterday in the
Dubliu head police office. A boy named Convill,
au apprentice to a chimney-sweeper, was charged
with having attempted to commit « telonious assault
ou bis masterâs daughter, The charge was proved,
aud he was seatenced to be imprisoved for fourteen
days aod kept to hard labor, While awaiting the
arrival of the policeman who was to briog him to
gaol, he was placed iu a room at the basement story
of the court, which was used as a lock-up, and there
left in company with other prisoners, it was suppos-
ed in safe custody. Searcely, however, had the key
been turned in the door, when, turniag to account
his protessiona! skil!, he plunged into the chimoey,
ascended the flue with amugzing agility, end getting
across the roof descended avother chimney aud made
good his escape. His fellow prisoners gazed in envious
admiration aud bore without a murmur the murkey
shower which came down upon them durivg his
flight. âThe expression of disappointment iu the
face of the constable in charge when he found that
bis vigilance had been baffled, would bave formed
au interesting subject for an artist.
One of the West Todia mail packets, which was
