FOR the benefit Of the Kno1UiIIe

East TsEnesseeInsane Asylum project,
was not used IN an invidious sense.
We meant that the jo0 was too stu
pendous for the State TO under
take just now. And, while on
this topic, We may as well express our
asionishment that the Chronicle and
the Press and Herald, which have both
been urging the vital Importance of
maintaining Tennessee financial honor
unsullied, should thus be blinded by
local pride to the folly Of so unneces-
