loot Gen' Baxter with his known liberality con-
troued over $50 towards the cost of the same so that

SIR: My attention has Just been called TO q state
ment in The TRIBUNE OF Friday last referring to
myself must request small space in our columns,
in order that may put myself right TO certain extent
with the public THE TRIBUNE says in the course Of
an article respecting the Aims House:
One Governor week or two ego, who had been
appointed engine the LunGtc Asylum lying drunk his
engine thus putting yeu in peril ard ordered him his
poet. The fellow nsoent and abusive before this
time be burst into Of oa,hs and plainly told the
Governor be might to avery p.ce that Gov Pnk
alone no appointed him II Gully BY
persistent Effort the Of the OF

regardless Of the wishes Of his snpeors sometimes going oa
with the Keepers oil getting drunk together rowing
the dead right On these m5L trips they upset the
boat, and but for assistance rom the Island would been
drow ned.
Now, am about TO state what am willing to sub.
stantate oath. In the first place. was never found
drunk at the engine, any other place on the island,
during working hours, and was never ordered 10 nv
post by any person, did ever offer abuse or inso-
lence of any kind to the Warden OF the institution |
Considered him my commanding officer as never re-
ceived any orders 10 think otherwise. Secondly was
not placed in my situation for political influence but
simply my merits a mechanic. Thirdly, IL was
necessary for TO have boat as could not blow off
steam until after the island boat had efG The Cover
nors aware that had boat and other EMPLOYEES
the island enjoyed the privilege. Fourthly
discharged because accused an officer of the Asv
lum Of stealing provisions, goods, &c and of having
secured the services OF pauper aid him in mis- nsf
riOuH acts on several OCCASIONS which accusation pre
sened 70 ono OF the Governors and offered 70 prove it
but was not allowed hearing Lastly The Warden
OF the Institution will tettfy that never was abusive
or nsolen either TO the Warden any Of the Cover

above sufficiently challenges contradiction.

To he Editor of The NJ y. Tribune
SIR: As the Harbor Commissioners would seem TO
have abandoned all attempt 20 keep clear channel IN
the North River would IL not be well las ast resort
10 spoeal 10 the generosity of the NewJersey fisher
men for sufficient passage way for vessels OF ordinary
fze on our own side Of the river. OF course we can
not expect them 10 leave the main channel clear, as
that is the beet fishing ground; but from the known
hberaiiy of the people Of kew.Jersey toward their
DeghboIs on this side of the river there can be no
doubt that petition signed by number OF our large
thpowneIs would induce them TO allow ak passage way
