The shell, sufoharged, with the; com.
bnstibie elements of truth. that'we threw
into the outer. lines:oi the Lunatic Asy
lum, has exploded with stunning effect.
twill be seen that DR.. ,Ensor. the .Su-
perintendent, and Mr.. Henry Sparnick,
one Of the regents, have put themselves
on the record, and cleared their skirts OF
the black transaction. We were also
called upon by Joe Taylor, another Of
the regents, and heard his statement.
He puts the responsibility upon Regent
Crews, and disolaims any offence in the
premises. AS, for Joe Crews and others
implicated, they seem disposed to play
mum. j They throw themselves upon
their dignity or their characters! But
they are bound to fall. for they are de-
pending upon broken reed. When
suoh characters as we are exposing throw
themselves upon their characters, they
must inevitably fall fiat on the ground,
for tthey are seeking to rest upon "airy
nothing, q >.sqsg' j. .,,-..,.. .y...1',
When Dr.: Ensor received our commu-
nioation, as ,qnas 81 The regents Informs
MS, a meeting Of the Board was forth
with called. They called upon Joe
Crews to answer. All that he had to
say was, that If. the asylum had not re-
ceiyed all the COAL he ,0omld make, it VI. :.

asylum than the number Already report.
ed. Joe Crews Sold. we have reason to
say, twenty-fours tons. to the Govern.
ment.. These tons, added TO. the four
furnished Regents Taylor and Nash. the
nine furnished l. Cass Carpenter, and
the seven shipped up the Greenyille
Road, make up a total Of forty -tous.tons.
Assuming that the '.;.'yirtuods" Joseph
kept abont six tons for his own private
uss. we have q balance Of. ffty tons to
account for. o. this quantity, We pro
sumo that about twenty FIVE tons reached
the asylum. The asylum has been using
coal since December 1st. last, say. AS
the coal furnished by Crews had been
exhausted before the, middle. or about
the middle. Of the present month, the
question is. how many tons OF coal does
the asylum consume in one and one-half
months? Certainly, twenty FIVE tons is
liberal estimate. IT so, Joe Crews bought
100 tons OF coal for the asylum, without
any proper authority 80 to do. and deli
vered but twenty fve-although paid for
100 tonsi Even the asylum is not spared
by these latter-day Radical plunderers.
They will steal next from the very
churches themselves.
The style of Joseph Crews is to re-
main silent under charges. When called
upon to account for $1,000 that had
been drawn by him when member of
the Committee of Investigation of the
Third Congressional District, he fatty
declined to answer, on the ground that
the answer would criminate himl And
yet this man is q member of the Legis-
lature, director on the Greenville
Road. regent of the asylum. and q
bright and shining Radical light!
