ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE PREsS.J
STATE HOUSE, AUGUSTA, Feb. IL.
SENATE.
A thin attendance Some routine business
was transacted.
Mr.. FRYE, of Lewiston, introduced the fol
lowing resolution i'm reference to the Insane
Asylum: .tf
Whereas, Sundry rumors have been circu.
lated and grave charges have been made in
reference to the management of the Insane
Asylum, both as regards the treatment and
condition of the patients therein, and the con.
duct of its financial affairs; and,
Whereas, The interests, both of the State
and the institution, emphatically demand that
such charges should be investigated and the
truth or falsehood fully and clearly established,
therefore,
hesotUed, DC. The substance of the resolve
is that three commissioners be appointed to
forthwith inquire and investigate into the con-
dition and management of said Asylum; the
official acts of its officers and subordinates;
the treatment and condition of its patients; the
disposition of the appropriation made, and the
from public or private sources, with power to
send for persons and papers; to report in writ
ing to the Governor and Council.
This resolve was warmly debated by Messrs.
Frye of Lewiston, Hale of Ellsworth, Lord of
Standish, and others. The opponents Of the
resolve contenaed that the appointment of the
commissioners would be tacit censure on the
standing committee. This was denied in a
well considered speech by Mr.. Woodman, of
Bucksport and by others. The resolve passed
in the House by very large majority.
lTo THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VA e.
The following preamble and resolves were

favorable for health and convenient for the
travel and commerce not only of this country

Whereas, The Legislature and people of
Maine have long deemed the construction of
this road matter of special interest to the
State, as well as of national Importance for
both commercial and military purposes, there
fore i
ResotUed, That our Senators in Congress,
be instructed, and our Representatives be re-
quested to use their best efforts to procure such
aid from the general Government as will Sc
cure the construction of this road at the earli-
est practicable time.

The enlargement OF our daily edition Is equivalent
to the addition of between three and four columns to
its size. This additional space will be devoted to de-
tails of important events, which have heretofore
been obliged give in brief and to selections from
current literature grave or gay, such have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be, its past history will show. The PRESS was es-
tabshed primarily to represent the Republican par
ty of Maine 1t was impossible for the controlling
party of the State to remain voiceless in this city,
The PRESS will continue to defend the principles of
the Liberal party of America The war has closed
one great cycle in our national hstory-the cycle
during which aristocracy at the South and democra-
cy at the North grew up side by side, period of
jealousy and conflict resulting in an appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy OF the democratic prn
seems likely to prove longer than most of Ms antie
pated. The PRESS will insist upon settlement
