The public will be grs;ifed to learn by the
official proceedings elsewhere, that an e1amin-
alton into the management and affairs of the
Newburgh Asylum has been made, and with
satisfactory results The determination of the
Board of Trustees to break up the Institution
for two months, excited no little feeling in the
large portion of the State directly interested,
and with good cause. We are glad to see that
the members Of the General Assembly whose
immediate province it was to attend to the Asy-
Ium appropriation have taken the matter of the
deficiency in hand, and that through their
recommendation, ard the well known willing
ness Of Gov Chase to advance from the con-
tingent fund to keep the Asylum in operation

TIE PREs1DESr's LETTER.-The New Alba

knowledges that letter or portion of letter
from the President, to Mr.. English. vas read
by the honorable gentleman" to a Demo
crate meeting. 1t admits, too, that in this
letter Mr.. Buchanan said that if he had q
thousand votes in English's District, he Eng

nation and reelection. The Ledger declares
that all the balance of the pretended letter pub
lished originally in the New Albany Tribune,
is bogus.
This is an acknowledgment that the Presi-

tween Mr.. English and his constituents, and
endeavored to induce them 10 dishonor them

Northern OhIo Lunntic AsyIum.

At an adjourned meeting Of Trustees, held at
the Asylum on the 81 Of August, 1888, the fol-
lowing Preamble and Resolution was adopted
WHEREAs, Since the last meeting Of the Board
of Trustees Of n. o. l. A, and the adoption of
the resolution TO close the Asylum on the first
of September, prox-, as appears on the record
Of that meeting, the Governor Of the State has
intimated disposition to afford the Institution
material aid IRON his contingent fund for its
support during the months of September and
October provided he could be satisfied by the
Report of the Committee on Benevolent Insti-
tutions or other members of the Legislature, as
TO the prudence and economy Of its manage
ment, and the necessity Of additional means to
carry it on ; and
WHEREAS, Several members Of the Legisla-
ture have this day convened at the Asylum and
elected such information By their inquiries as
appears in the following report
We, the undersigned, Members of the Legis-
Iaiure of the State Of Ohio, do hereby certify
that we have given TO the affairs of the North
cru Lunatie Asylum careful and complete eI-
animation We are satisfied that since the
month of December, 1857, that the institutiOn
has been economically, judieiOusly and properly
managed, and we take pleasure in testifying to
the fact
We find as is supposed by inadyertance or
oversight on the pert of the Legislature, that
the sum Of four thousand dollars necessary 70
carry on the Institution for the last two months
Of the quarter, ending the fiscal year 1858, was
pIaced Io the credit Of the first quarter Of the
fiscal year SO, and that ths Trustees ind them
selves unable, for want Of funds, to carry on
the Institution during the two months CON-
mencing September 1st and ending November
Ist, 1858 They have therefore voted to close
~. l. 4 that uerTad
Under these circumstances, believing that
great injury wonld be inflicted upon the unfor-
tunate inmates Of the institution, by sending
them 70 their homes, and the jails and prisons of
their respective eaunties and believing our
views Will mset the entire approval Of the Le-
gislature and the people Of the State, we ear
nestly recommend TO the Governor of the State
that be furnish to the Trustees, out Of the E1-
eeutive Contingent Fund, of the State, the nc
eessarv sum of four thousand dollars to enable
them ie carry on the Institution, until they can
reach the appropriation made fos its support on
the first day Of November next

Railroad ARRANGEMENTS for the Stnte Fair

OaIo STATE BoARD OF AsRIcULTURE,
State Agriculture Rooms,
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 5, 1858.
In reply to the question daily propounded
to me by letter and otherwise, What are the
railroad arrangements for the benefit of exhib-
itors and visitors at the State Fair at Sandus-
XIV Z" have deemed it not improper to publish
the following list of roads, together with the
arrangements made with each. The following
roads will convey passengers to and from San
dusky at half the usual rates Of fare, and stock,
machinery, or other articles for exhibition free
Of charge:
Sandusky, Dayton & Cincinnati.
Clexeland L Pittsburgh
Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati
Little Miami, Columbus & Cincinnati
Central Ohio.
Pittsburgh, Fl Wayne & Chicago.
Cleveland & Toledo
Cleveland, Painesyille & Ashtabula.
Marietta, Cincinnati & Hillsboro.
Cincinnati, Hamilton 4 Dayton.
Dayton d Michigan.
Pittsburgh, Columbus & Cincinnati.
Sandusky, Mansfield & Newark.
Columbus, Piqua d Indiana.
Greenvile & Miami.
Springfield, Mt Vernon & Pittsburgh
The following roads will convey passengers
as above, but will charge half the usual rates
Of freight:
Indiana Central, Dayton d Western.
Cincinnati, Wilmington & GAINESVILLE
In order that no Misunderstanding may
occur between visitors or exhibitors and Rail
road Superintendenis, the former are respect
fully requested to observe the following regula-
tons:
Before entering the car purchase half-fare
ticket or what is the same thing, a ticket which
guarantees the pOssessOr TO return free, from
the Ticket Agent at the station; Conductors
are not supplied with tickets of this description.
Full freight must be paid 10 the freight agent,
before stock, machinery or other articles for
exhibition can be shipped-the shipper taking
the agents receipt for the same. At the close
OF the Fair, the Corresponding Secretary will
issue a certificate Of exhibition ION application
at his offce) to every exhibitor. Upon the
presentation of the Secretary's certificate, to-
gctber with the Agents receipt, at the station
from which it was shipped, the money advanced
fer freight will be refunded 10 the exhibitor,
provided it has not changed hands.
These regulations are necessary TO protect
the railroad companies from imposition, and 1t
is hoped that every visitor and exhibitor will
at once see the prOPriety of conforming to
them.
Through the courtesy of Hon. A. L. Backus,
one of the Board of Commissioners of Public
Wo:ks, all articles intended for exhibition
shipped via Miami Canal, or the Northern
Division of the Ohio Canal, will be passed free
of toll.

he receipts have fallen oft upon sll the
Improvements of the Commonwealth, but
more especially upon that portion of the
public works which she retains.
In addition to this, the Board were
compelled to meet what they consider to
be merely temporary competition from
rival works, to make a material reduction
in tolls. especially upon coal This, with
the decreased tonnage, produced by the
causes Just mentioned, has consequently
reduced the revenues from that source
These remarks apply to nearly all other
products conveyed to market by these
channels of communication. This depre-
citation in revenue from the low rates
charged by competing railroads mus
cease at no distant day. These companies
have begun to open their eyes TO the fact
that mere tonnage or travel alone do not
constitute profit upon the capital invested
and that the rates which they have for a
few years past imposed upon the carrying
trade have been below a remunerative
standard. The result Of this convention
must be, that they will be compelled to fix
thor tolls upon such basis as to yield a
bona fde dividend to stockholders, COM
mensurate with the capital invested, and
to abandon the existing suicidal system
of entiCing trade to their respective i'm
provements by sacrifice of capital, an
increase Of debt, or toll disregard of the
interests of these stockholders who have
invested their funds under the promise and
expectation of deriving at least the usual
interest therefrom. When this policy is
adopted, as it must be shortly, there can
be no fear but that the works now owned
by the Commonwealth will continue 10
receive their fair share of the carrying
trade, and that no diminution of her reve-
nues from this source need be anticipated.
The demand for the products of Pennsyl-
vania, and the constantly increasing de-
velepment of her resources, promises to all
the main channels of communication to
market, profitable share of the tonnage,
without any of the sacrifices of q ruinous
competition.
In reference to the diminution in reve.
nues from the Susquehanna and the north
and west branches of the canal, as compared
with the year 1896, it must he borne 10
mind that after the transfer of the main
line, their officers were deprived Of the tolls
which they heretofore received an thnir
descending trade for the forty six miles Of
canal of the Eastern Division extending
from its junction with the Juniata to the
Colombia.
