shoudering the trustees of the asylums, and if they
could do it he would bear no part OF that respon-
sibility.

party He had considered the testimony brought out
by the committee, and he could not find sufficient evil
dence to convict the trustees. He denied any know-
ators upon members of the House to defeat the BILL
The Republican party had given every facility to in
vestigate the matter. He did not know OF any cor
rupt bargains trades. and We had no right to &C
cuse them of acting otherwise than conscienuously
Senator Thatcher came to the Senate this winter
without any preconceived ideas upon the subject He
ernor and the trustees, and he had thought It judi
cious enough to start off on new basis and leave
voted for the bill because he had thought 1t
as good as any likely to be passed. He
had heard bitter talk here, but was in
the House for few moments and had heard
much more bitter denunciations there and the re-
suit was to convert him, and he had made up his
mind to sustain the old board of trustees He could
stand it and he thought the Republican party could
stand it without damage, .Et8Es&
