r,,r MANAGERS Oh IKE STATE LUSAIIC AsYLUs
.sn DR. BENEDICT The unexpected resign ition by
DIR. Benedict of his post as Superintendent OF tue
State Lupaie Asylum, has given rise to maeh as
cussion. Charges OF grave nature were Pseieereu
ssainst the Managers, and insiDustions seriously
affecting the integrity Of their official eonduct were
suffered by the latter to 90 uneontradc'ed NUN,
nor Of gentlemen anxious to learn from Dr. b. himself
the reason Of his resignation addressed him note 70
ah;cb i'm dine time reply made. IL appears that
,he Ronrd ofManagers in their official Report, ofFeo
/ ls54 Indulge the hope that Dr. Benedict rest
"denee in warmer climate tor the winter, may be
the means of restoring his impaired health and that
abe may bis return resume the responsible stue-
ton in the Asylum which he has hitherto tled with
signal ability and efficiency, and not only did they
indulge in this hope but pressed the Dr. TO taea short
peiod of rest and relaxation to the end above spoken
Of IL further appears from the letter OF DR.. Bene-
dict in reply 10 the citizens that he did leave for tha
purpose tor a short time, and went South. Ga his
return late in MAY, he made all his arrangements 70
resume the duties of his Office when he suddenly
learned that his successor bad been appointed IN ms
absepce The Doctor continues:
40 save myself from an unpleasant dilemma,
snd the parties to this transaction, from what judged
would be its consequences proposed that my separ-
alton from the Asylum should not be unreasonabiy
sudden-that should resume the charge of the inst-
tuition till the fall and then retire. This was dectned
and the ishes of the Board previously expressed
were in an offensive manner reaffrmed. This whole
business in itself and in form, felt to be unjust and
INJURIOUS and had | been confident of the perma-
ntncy of my health and chat under these unforeseen
ard unpleasant circumstances could without hazard
have done so, should have felt il my duty, for the
sska of the Institution and of my successors to have
resisted TO the utmost this extraordinary procedure.
But nv respect for and confidence ill., the Board be-
ing entirely destroyed the condition OF the Institution
being in other respects less attractive than when
eft IL ard other fields Of usefulness, wide and nvu
ing. being open decided 10 resign snd retire.
