mcnt:
1t IS not often that ! notice q news
paper communication or editorial al ar,
and never 90 so il il merely concerns me
personally. but NY attention ha, been
cslled 70 several editorial, 81 the Richmond
Wig during The last few days. and espe-
ci.dly to one Of this morning, from which
perceive that my motives in referring TO
the various luustic aSylumS during the
debates Of The LIST few days. and especially
NV motive in introducing . certain bill
snd resolution Of investigation on yes
terGay, have been wholly miscOnce.ved. ]
bave not heard and do no. believe that
there las been any disbursement or mis-
appropriation Of funds on the part OF any
81 the Tecentiy-appOinted bosrdS. do
believe. however. that the aSylums can be
much more economically supported than
they have been for the past four or fys
wears, and was appalled, at fading that
the old Board OF the Western LUnatic A,y-
nm had spent. between September 80,
1883. aud April ID. 1Ss4. the sum OF S1J.000,
and believe that such gross extravaganza
REQUIRES at our hands the SGyereSt reDuhe
that we are able to administer. l desire 20
say further that ! did not see fit to mention
the name Of the membtrOf the Board Of the
Western Lunat,c Asylum because o. whose
Affect drunkenness the Deliberations OF
that Board were interrupted. | do not
think It proper now that should mention
BIS name. but il is right that | should say
that he is not member Of the General
Asicmbly. and is not Democrat.
do not understand how il was possible
FOR my meaning in these matters to be MIS-
construed. but inssmuch As alcadng news

ier,nceS from what l have said. J hNc
thought ii right 10 make this explanation.
