We publish, in another column, the act
recently passed by our Legislature, and
approved by the Governor, for the organi-
cation Of the Braucboro & Whitehall rail-
road company. While changing the name
and giving all needed authority 10 extend
the road 10 Whitehall, and 10 towns 10 aid
in the construction Of the same, 1t pre-
serves all that has been done under the
West River railroad charter and organiza-
ton, so that no step backward becomes nee
essary under the proposed changes. The
act is entirely satisfactory 10 the friends OF
the enterprise, and seems TO meet every re.
quirement of tho case.
The engineers, who have now spent six
weeks in the survey, have nearly complet-
ed their field work, aud in Two or three
weeks more the results of their labors will
be put in proper form for public inspec-
ton, with profile, maps, estimates, &c,
from which an accurate judgment can be
formed of the character and cost OF the pro-
jected road. 1t is then proposed, We I'M
derstand, TO have general meeting of the
friends of the enterprise, at some central
point, 10 make a permanent, working or
ganzation. This can probably take place
somewhere about December Goth 10 2jtb, of
which due notice will be giveO.
The survey having demonstrated the en-
tire feasibility of the enterprise, and one
half the money required to build and equip
the road having been promised by reliable
capitalists in New York city, it seems al
most certain that the work will he com =
menced, and very likely completed, dur.
ing the coming season. Nothing but the
neglect or refusal of the people on the line
to furnish the other half of tho money is
likely to prevent this consummatiou and
it is inconceivable that they should be SO
Indifferent or blind to their own most vital
interests as to let this opportunity slip,-the
like of which is not likely TO occur again.
We understand that the people generally
along the line both in this State and in New
York, manifest lively appreciation of the
value and Importance of the eDt erprise,
and are prepared TO give il hearty and
efficient support. No town has more
vital interest, or will receive greater bene-
fits from the building of this road, than
Brattleboro; and the time is close al hand
when all her citizens-and especially her
intelligent and public spirited business
men-must determine in what form, and
TO what extent, they will extend their
aid; for aid they must give, If the road is
to be built. We commend the matter TO
the earnes attention Of our citizens.

Is he possesses no more knowledge on that
subject than any average country practi-
toner. II claims lie has proved that the
State has paid the asylum too much for the

week, and at no Time has paid sum equal

Increasing percentage Of mortality aud in
durability, which is untrue. 1t says the
statistics OF the commissioner us TO deaths
aud recoveries have not been contrON ened,
to which we reply that his bases Of compu-
tation arc so plainly erroneous that they
of themselves controvert his conclusions,
which have also been entirely overturned
both by the supcrintendenrs review % lis
report and by the report of tho committee.
1t charges the asylum with sending a
strong lobby to Montpelier, and with form
ing combinations with ring interests to
by the officers of the asylum Ia say is ut
terly, and, as they believe, maliciously
false. The trustees aud superintendent ap.
peared before the committee at two ses-
sons, which is the whole extent of their
inf ueuce with the Legislature either di-
rect OF indirect, cave 10y what Is contained
in their reports. The Burlington Free
Press echoes these assertions, says the asy-
lum is a disgrace TO the State, and demands
that The State withdraw from the "unproiit-
able partnership" A partnership indeed
One to which the Stale has contributed $23,
600, and had its patients kept for less than
cost, and TO which the other partner has
coatributed nearly 100000, and built up
itself by lis own earnings. Such articles
as these urpn an asylum founded and rear
cd ny this has been, and whose officers have
honestly aud 10 The extent of their means
performed their duties TO their patients and
the State, are both absurd and atrccious.
The Montrel'r. Journal, which assumes to
be the gunrdi.I and mentor of the Legisla-
ture, has throughout the session severely
criticised this asylum, and demanded the
establi 5hment of a new one. We suspect
that This is the key note Of the whole mat
ter. If so, we desire 10 say that the OFF,
Gals connected with the Brattleboro asy-
lum have not the slightest objection to the
erection Of an asylum at Montpelier or
Burlington If the State can afford it, but
they do object TO the attempt TO create a
public impression by false charges against
this asylum that a new one is required
1t is not claimed that this asylum has
reached perfection, hut improvements are
constantly being made as fast as its means
allow, and We repeat that no minded
person, who is well-informed on the sub
ject, can doubt but that it is we'll and faith
fully managed.
1t is but justice to add that the Legi,la-
ture has always stood man.ully ~ aud
vindicated the asylum, as it has done at
this session, which is doubtless the reason
that certain journals are so furious.
