Lunatic Asylum Foundation.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

DEAR Srr,—Although a great deal has been written and published about the foundation of the new Lunatic Asylum, there are, I think, two points which have not been taken much notice of. Defective stones in any wall are bad, and the angles or corners of stone work ought to be properly bound together, but the pomts on which I should like to hear an opinion from some builder or mason of both locol and general experience are as follows :—

Ist. Is a wall starting with a base of only sixteen inches in thickness, sufficient to carry such a building as the Asylum is to be ?

2nd. Is it possible that mortar, which it is confessed had not ‘‘set,” when the frost laid hold of it, would ever set afterwards ?

The walls under any ordinary wooden cot- tage of one story, are usually built of stone of not less than twelve inches in thickness; reasoning from this the foundation wall of a large brick building such as the Asylum, ought to be more than sixteen inches thick. My experience of mortar, which the frost gets hold of before itis set, is that such mortar never hardens at all, and though it may get dry, it will always be crumbly.

I am, dear Sir, yours truly, ENQUIRER. July 19, 1878.

The Franchise.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir, The subject of the franchise being now prominent, owing to the registration of voters now going on, and the prospect of a Dominion Election this autumn, permit me to say a few words.

I have read in your paper Judge Alley’s decision in the Carey case, but do not agree with him in his view of the matter. , It is true that, as the law stands at present any other interpretation of it would or might give the learned Judge some extra trouble im the way of striking off the names of voters \for non-payment of Poll Tax, and after- | wards inserting them again; but, I think this would be a less evil than that so many persons—otherwise qualified—should be de- prived of a vote merely on the slight and technical ground that they paid their tax this week instead of last week. Paying taxes is not a pleasant task at any time. Under the old system, a man could prove

The present Statute provides that any person | wishing to vote, must prove his right at a certain time previous to election day, the intention being to prevent trouble and de- ‘lay on the day of election. This is, no ‘doubt, a step in the right direction; but, at _the same time, as the registration takes place an indefinite time before an election,

‘every facility should be afforded up to the

last possible moment, to parties wishing to record their right to vote. The perfection of the system would be to have a Court at all times open for the a of voters, the n qualifications might get his name placed on the list at any time previous to the day of election. 1 am, dear Sir, Yours truly, FRANK.

Our Washington Letter.

Washtnetos, D. C., July 16, 1878.

General Sherman’s disgust is boundless, The army bill passed last session is a torture to him, meeting with his ubnost disapproval. He says it deprives him, Sheridan and some other prominent officers of every privilege and even of a saddle horse—a dire necessity. And that it also makes the army altogether useless except in the event of dec: war, as it prohibits United States troops being called into requisition to quell riots, protect property or aid States. Of the recent en- gagement between General Howard and the Indians he expresses the opinion that it is but the prelude to several other batiles of a similar character, after which the red men will scatter and, torming small roving bands, can be easily captured by troops or overpowered by settlers. He thinks the outbreak will terminate as usual by the tak- ing Of many Indian prisoners, a result un- doubtedly desired by many of the savages, since that event will secure them comfort- able food, shelier and care from the Gov- ernment.

General Sherman would not be taken at sight for the great soldier he is. Small, spare and wizened he has more the look of a dried up old bachelor than of the General of the United States army and head of a family. Jn winter he is recognizable by the slouched hat and large cloak he invariably wears. He and his devoted Catholic wife agree very pleasantly to disagree. His oldest unmarried daughter is a joy to him, preferring his society and amusements and that of his friends to her mother’s more sedate and religious ones. His oldest son has greatly disappointed him recently by his determination to become a Catholic priest.

Representative Springer is authority for the statement that the Potter investigation will have finishet its labors in Washington by next week. The Committee will then transfer their work to Lonsiana where testi- mony wili be taken,

Speaker Randall is said to have very am- bitious schemes for himself for 1880. Grant,

The Slave Trade.

Great Britain appears again in her old- time position of the most energetic adver- sary of the slave trade. She showed the sincerity of her convictions by commencing at home, emancipating the negroes in her own possessions, thus entitling her to all the credit for the action she was ing. Latterly, however, by reason of some of her actions, she was supposed in certain quar- ters to have rather weakened in this direc- tion; but that was generally attributed to special circumstances, and was, indeed, sub- sequently repudiated by the highest author- ity. Once more Great Britain is to .the fore as the champion of freedom, for already negotiations are in progress between Eng- land and the Porte, with a view to the abolition, by the latter, of the slave trade. a Orme The Eastern Question.

Tue Eastern Question settlement so far as determined upon by the Berlin Congress up to the present moment can scarcely be looked upon as the disgraceful capitulation of which the New York Herald and others have written, since that it virtually makes Great Britain mistress both of Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia, and those who desire to attack the Porte will, in the future, have to do so over the shoulders of Great Britain which has again vindicated her claim to the title of arbiter of the destinies of Europe. The Grand Duke Nicholas is reported to be disgusted with what has so far occurred, and proposes to retire into pri- vate life. It is said that the defensive treaty between England and Turkey does not ne- cessarily come within the scope of the delib- erations of the Congress, It is an independ- ent contract, the vitality of which could not be called in question except at the cost of war.

Of the British Premier's policy in secur- ing the cession of Cyprus to England, the New York Times says :—“ Lord Beacons- field has, in this case, simply accepted the consequences of a policy which is already two hundred years old, and whose ultimaie consequences must have a very important share in shaping the future history of the world. When Clive and Hastings wrested from the grasp of incapable Viceroys the richest provinces of the grumbling Empire of Aurungzebe, they were preparing the way for the English administration of the inheritance of the Osmanli; when the British Crown assumed the responsibilities of the Empire which had been conquered by a company of traders, and added to its titles that of the Moslem conqueror who reigned at Deihi, it was but verifying the logic of history as clearly as it does to-day, when it extends to the worn-out debauchee who is Caliph and Sultan the came kind of protection which it gave ‘o the last descend- ant of the Great Mogul.”

The Quebec Mercury, M. Joly’s o . foretold that the Dominion writs would be issued on Saturday, but still they do not come. Mr. Mackenzie can’t make up his mind ;—

He is one who on the brink

Of a dark river stands and sees

The waters flow, the landscape dim

Around him waver, wheel and swim,

And, ere he plunges, stops to think

Into what whirlpools he may =. —Mail,
