In this connection it may be we'll 10
state that from estimates correctly
made, it has been a'ccrtaiuCd beyond
question that the section Of tho build.
ing now in course of construction, will
be erected for at least $500 less
than any other like section Of the en-.
tire building, while the work will be
done equally as well as on any of the
preceding cues. This is indeed very
gratifying cxbiLit-as well to the gen.
tlcmen under whose control tho work
has been done, as to the taxpayers of
the State,

ofwhich Mr.. 7. NJ. Hale is the con.

There were two good and sufficient

impossibility to cOmplOteit before next
May or Juno aud, Second, because
the Board wisely determined 10 save
tho State all the money they could. =
For illustration: II is estimated that
there are now 100 insane persons con-
fnod in tho jails Of the State, at a cost
per capita per week of 81 so cents.
The cost per capita per week in tho
Asylum is 81 80 making a dif.
ference of So per week on each patient.
Now, the poorest mathematician in the
world will see at n glance that BY hav-
ing this 100 patients in tho Asylum,
the State would save $500 per week,
81, 900 per month; and this saving,
for Eve months, will build tho engine
house. And it should not be forgot

tunates can receive the best of care

but it is proper that We referto its
management, iuasmuch as the new or.
der Of things have not only advanced
the interests Of this great school, but
have proven conclusivcly that the
Democratic party is not made Of the
material that our Republican friends
would have the people believe.
Tho new Board Of Regents were al.
most unanimously Democratic, and it
was supposed by tho Republicans that

Why, wherever changes have been
made, (aud they are few lndCcd,) the
new appointeOs have been selected, not
out of regard for their political pro-
clivitics, but by reason Of eminent fit.
ucss for the positions they sought, and
with the sole object in view Of advan-
cling the best interests Of tho Uni
versity, and Of making ii still further
an honor to the State. Fitness for
the position was the only test applied /;
aud the Republican papers Of tho State
arc compelled (tlough the majority Of

The Crash in New York.

The last fourteen days have been the

A monetary crash, such as has cnly
