MISMANAGEMENT, Swooplng Denunclation of the Men tn Charge of the Bonovatont Institutions of Olio, Bnectat Disnatch to The Tribune. Conunnus, O., March 24,-—-The result of tho turning over of the venevolent institutions by the O'Connor Legislaturc, ono year ago, which dethroned old and dsperienced ofiicers for the purpose of maklug room for the Democratic herd, 1s made apparent by the abuses which have been carried on atthe Longview Insaue Asylum, Charges of mismanageinent, os well as crucity to the unfortunate patients, became so loud as tv create a fecling akin to horror, especially among those who had friends In the {netitution, and to call for an immediate inyca- tigation by a committec of the Legislature. The results of their labora weresubmitted to-day, and surprised cyen the Republicans. The majority of the Committee being Democratic, there can remain no loophole for the Democracy to eacape through, The Chairman, in bis report, soya: “Fifty witnesacs were examined, and ft was found that the patients had been supjected to severe punishment, such as ducking in cold water; that the eick had bocn forced to work in rooms where the temperature was 110, and, upon thelr refueal to do 60, the unfor- tunatos fad been stripped of all thelr clothlug, ond wet towels used as whips, This puntslment fadescribed as very paloful, but it leaves no morks onthe person. ‘Ta inode, ft appears, was principally used in the female wards while the males wero subjected toan unparaleled brutality by being knocked down, 8 gog insorted fu the mouths until the yictims become weal and exhausted and the face purple? The report further adds that kicking, Knocking down, and other acts of cruelty wora found to have been carried on. A disseeting-room was olay fitted up in the asylum, where the unfortunate victilns of man's Inbu- manlity to won furnished materlal for the pruc- tice ‘of amateur snwbones. ‘The conii- tlon of the = asylum) = was found to be most horrible. Some of ‘the rooms tvere infested with lonthsome vermin, the beddlig and patiente being covered with the game. Evi- denees of drunkenness in the Superintendent also camo to light, The Committco recom- monds that fmmediate steps bu taken for a thorourh reorganization of the institution. In submitting the report, Judge Estill enfd: ‘It would have been much more ogreeablo for the majority of the Committes, thosa of us who a-year ago voted to reorganize the Lonvicw Aaylum, with tho bona of better government, to have returned from our mission with the Ind tidings thut all ta well, but a fair investigan- Jon und a truthful rendering of the evidenva given would not justify this.” The result of tho investigation hae created o decided ecnsa- tlon, und much indignation 1s expreseod.
