Jermain, of Niagara, as secretary. ©n motion, Dr. Gray, of the Utica Lunatic Asylum, was dmvited to and did take @ seat in the convention. On motion, it was ordered that the committees appoint- ed at the last convention do now report. Mr. A. W. Brace announced that his committee, on the subject of emigration, was not prepared to report; and on his motion, the name of Mr. Jermain, of Niagara, was added to that committee. ‘n motion, Mr. Monroe, of Utica, was invited to and ‘aid take a seat in the convention. Mr. Joxm, of Oneida, chairman of te Committee on Lunacy and Lunatic Asylums, in their relations to the ace of the poor, announced that they had endeavored to get up a full report, but were unable to do so, as the Su- perintendents of the Poor had not generally answered ‘their circular, Ho asked that the committee be contin- ved, and that they be at liberty to condense thelr report. He proceeded to read that which thoy had prepared, but which, he sald, was incomplete. Among the cauizos of mental decay dnd disease are enumerated in this report, soeial progress, the spread of intelligence, the increase of newspapers, facility of travel, inducements to specula- tion, and religious excitement. According to the report of the Secretary of State, the insane of this State are to the whole population as 1 to 1,280. The increase since the rate of 200 per cent, or at a greater ratio than the increase of population, ‘Taking the same roportion of insane to the who'e population, as tho sla- ice of Massachusetts show for that State—or 1 to 427 —there would be now in the State of New York 8,096 persons 80 affected. In 1821 the proportion of cures to ‘omissions in Bloemingdale Asylum, was 18 to 100, and in the succeeding five years that ratio increased to 38 ver sent, and in the five years to 1350 it was 42 per cent. ‘The whole number of cases received at the Utica Asylum. since its foundation was 4,313, and the recoverics 1,789, or 41 per cent for the whoie period. The number at pre- sent under care there is 476. increase of insanity in this State is shown by the following fignies:—In 1835 the number of insane was to the whole population as Lio 2,522; in 1640 it was as 1 to 1,253, and in 1850 it wax as 1 to 1,280. since 1825 the increase in the number of in- sane was 200 per cent—fifteen per cent larger than the Per centage in the population, ‘The total number of the insane relieved last year at the two asylums was 2,123, which forms }3¢ per cent of the total number of paupers. relieved, and the cost thereof was $164,584. In 1860 the estimate is, that 4,667 insane will need relict at a cost of $339,657. The proportion of cures effected in the Utica Lunatic Asylum in cases sent there from the county of Gnenda, was 75 per cent. This favorable issue heatti{bu- ted in a great degree to the propinquity of the Asylum, and the consequent quickness with which remodies were ‘epplied. The proportion of cures of insanity, where Promptly treated, was stated to be 76 per cent, while, where it was neglected, the cures were only 7 por cent. In conclusion, the Committee reported:— Ast, That the present provision tor the insane is entive- Yy defective and inadequate. 2a, That their condition demands immediate attention and relief. 34, That this relief should be commensurate with the and. 4th, They recommend this additional resolution: — Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to me- morialize the Legislature at the eusuing session oa the subject of the ineane paupers of the State, and recom- mend speedy action, so as to insurvatteation to the wants of this class of our fellow citizens. Tt was moved and seconded that the report be accepted, with liberty to the committee to iil] up the blanks. The motion was carried. Mr. Joxxs moved the adoption of the report. Mr. CaanpiEr of Chautauque, thought the meeting should have 1 little time to compare notes and excliange senti- ments in relation to that report. There were some things in it which he could not vote for. For instance, it was siuted that few recoveries are made in the country ‘hospitals. He did not consider that this was so, And then, also, the statistics given of Oneida county dif- fer very materially from those of other countries. In his eounty they had had many cases sent to their county r house, where many recoveries wereetfected. They had Ea cases, returned as incurable from Utica, placed in their county poor house, in many of which there were re- coveries. They had nov 19 persons in their county poor there asthey would be inthe Utica Asylum. There were but ‘one or two cases which they would be willing to send to the State Asylum. He was in favor of having extensive room in the State Asylum, but he did not believe thery was even another large asylum required, though it might be proper to have a small auxiliary one. itr. jones thought the gentJoman from Chautauque had misunderstood the menuiog of the report. With re- gard to the question whether one couaty follows one eourse in regard to its care of patients and whether another county follows another course it amounts to nothing. The reason why he gave the statistics of Oneida county, was because he was familia with them, while he was not acquainted Chautanque or other counties, Whatever ditference there might be in tho treatment of cases, he was desirous that they should have the benefit of their various experi ences. The tact that cases are discharged from the luna- tic asylum as incurable, and being afterwards cured at the county houee, only proves thai natura had restored them, and would have done so, whether in the asylum, ‘in the poor house or out of doors. There is a certaia class of lunatics who would recover after a certain time, whether they have or have not care. Spontaneous cures are said to be atthe rate of 7 per cent. Hut tere are other cases which might with proper care recover, but this care, he thought, was not to be found In poor houses. He had nothing to boast cf fo county asylum or poor house in the county of Oneida; im fact, he thought they ought to be ashamed of them. Of the twenty-eight in- sane persons in the Oneida poor house he did not Delieve that two would ever recover. Only ne person who had been to the asylum was cured in their poor house in the space of five years. The question, however, did mot turn upon this ar all. The principle was established that insanity was a disease, and that those aillicted by it should be cared for at the ublic expense. He believed thnt a less number than Bre heneved can be better treated in a lunatic asylum than a larger nomber than that can, He did not want to see more than two hundred and fifty taken care of in one house. He believed that instead of keeping hope- Jessly demented persons in workhouses, they should be kept in the lunatic asylums, as the effect of bringing x- treme: of insanity together would be highly beneficial, ia some degrees of it. He would ask, what is the character © tho treatment of these persons at poor houses? Were they not unavoidably abused and neglected? He knew that in his county they certainly were. They could not be as well cared for as they should be. Did the gentle- man from Chautauque be! that it was beneficial to have insane and pauper persons mingle together in a poor house? He, for one, did not. Mr. Cuaxpeae did not design to cast any impatations on tne Superintendents of the State Asylum. He had gentidence in ‘hem, and believed that the facilities for oures were larger in the asylum than out of it. But the r clase of thetr cases were those which could be ax well treated in the county houses as in the lunatic a:y- dumy. If the gentleman’s argument was d as to the beneficial etfect of mingling various dogrese of insanity, he did not see why the same beneficial effect would not accrue from the mingling of insane persons and paupers. Mr. Rexy, of Genesee, asked whether the number ro- turned ag being in the asylum embreced those who have deen thake more than two years ’ Dr. Gray—Iit embraces ull who are there—some of ‘them from the oj of the institution. Mr. Keep—is it the design of the in: them there longer than two years. Dr. Gray—The law organizing the asylum has no refe- rence to the length of time which insane persons may be kept there. A subsequent law made a provision as to per- sone sent from county houses, liuniting their term to t years; but there are persons there since the foundation ef the establishment. It is @ question of expediency whether Percone having spent two yoars there ought or ought notto be removed. The law further states that where cases are incurable, the Superintendents of the Poet may be notified of it and the cases may be sent 0 the county houses, or the expense of keeping them cherged to the county, The asyium now was much . ‘They had now 150 applications for admission which they could not accommodate. Many of these would have to get well at home, and many we to get well at the county houses, The umber of spontaneous or al cures is 7 per cent. But the question iv whether the recovery may be facilitated by care and active medical remedies, or not.

Mr. JONES thought the question came to this point; the people ot the State of New York bad cvideatly mate up their mind to have another lunatic asylum, and an appropriation of $500,000 was asked tor the purpose, Dr. Guay suggested $210,000. Mr. Jones repeated ibly $: ab $500,000 was asket, and pos- sibly $250,600 more would go to the tailof it. Therefore, the uestion for their consideration was, whether this money ould be cxpended ov one large establishment, or on two or wore establishments? This was the question on which he desized to have en expression of opinion by this con- yention; for the building of a new avylum, said ho, is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Rrep thougit the gentlemen was drawing his con- clusions from the supposition that they were going to have the same Legislature next session-as they had fast session. The idea of abuse or neglect of patients in county houses was, so far as the county of Genesee was con- cerned, sheer nonvense. The county of Genesee was not desirous to be put to further expense ia building new asylums which they deemed unnecessary. ir. CARPKNIFR, Of Erie, understood shat the design of the report was favorable to the bui'ding of an additional Iwnatte aaylun. He was not under the impression that a State asylum was the only place where patieats could bo roperly taken care of. The anthorities of his county .d gone to great expense in getting up all conyoniences for the treatment of the fusane, and as to their beiag alused there ne did not believe it. They employed the most skilful pbosiclans in their county, as well for the treatment of the insane ax of the paupers. He belicved that the county would be oppposed io abandoning their yremiscs erected for the use of the insane and sending ‘her patients to the State Lunatic Asylum. He consider- od that as many of those retained in the county house were cured as of thore sent to Utica. Tho peoplo of Erie had as great a syaupathy with this ‘unfortunate class xs any people could have. but they were not going to let this sympathy tun away with their common sense. Mr. Jonss explained that the report id not recommend ‘The question of the additional at it was the intention of the people of the Mr. Cuuusuck, of Broome, thought there was con- siderable misconception as to the nature of the report presented by tho committer. He had not been able to sve that the report recommends that these projected additional establishments should interfere but rather that they should supply a deficiency where it existed.

But they liad not time, and they should therefore come to the question. The report sitaply recommends that the measures already proposod by the State for pro- viding additional relief for the insane, be carried out. He did not see how there could be any Objection to the four points, or summit up of the report. Mr. CuaNvuEe, of Chantaugue, understood that the whoe communication presented by Mr. Jones was the report to ‘be adopted by t reed by Mr. Jermain. which had not modation of their imsane, should be mude to do so. He eljected to the report, because, if they adopted it, i wi called upon the State to take care of all the insane. principlo he was op} was not sufticient for the accommodation of proper receat cases, ho was in favor of an additional asylum being crect- €0, but be was opposed to the State bein called oa to take care of the demented poor of Broome and other counties, na—not merely the three or four points He thought that those countics repared proper means for ihe accommo- 7 1d be said that they—the County Supervisors—had That If their present asylum pored to, Mr. Canrenree, of Prie, in reply to a question, stuted whet wae the number of assistants required to atvend to the inzone in his county favor ot abolirhing the favor of building more such establishments, for any such extremes. who had sot provided for the accommodation of their insane, that they should be taught a lesson by the public to take care of their own. ‘Their neglect and calling on the State to remedy it was ungenerous and they should be ashamed of it. work house. He was aot in tica aeylum, neither was he in He was not He would say to those counties Mr, Jox2s regretted to see the feeling expressed by the gentlemen from the Western portions of the State in re- gard to this matter. He for one might be willing to rest satisfied that, go faras Oneida county was concerned, ‘they were well amount of the lunatics of these Western counties in pro- portion to the rest of the State? The principle has been established that it is the duty of the State to take care provided for. But, then, what is tue of itsinsaue, There were now in the State 1,700 cases unprovided for. Tid not common humanity appeal to them to care fer these unfortunates? He asked the Supervisors of couuties, here assembled, to prove so far true to themyelves as not to throw obstacles in the way of this couse of humanity. The statisties fo tho report prove that the remedy is not equal to the disease.

If the gentlemen would look at the statistics und see Ihe increase of fnranity for the last twenty-five years, wouli he then say that the preseat accommodations are sufficient?

Mr. Hant, of Westchester, had listened with attention to the discussion of this evening. He was glad to hear of the provisions mude by the counties of Oneida and Cheutuuque, and he could gay with them that oli Wes'~ chester county bad made like provisions for the care of its insane. Mr. Jones arked whether Westchester sent any patients to the asylum at Utica? Mr. Harr acknowledged they had. There were also several curesetlosted thece. ‘fhe number of insane taken care of there is now 25, Mr. CanventeR, of krie, stated that in sending patients to Utica they bad selected cases which they consi tered would be most benefitted by it. He did not meun any re. flection on the management of the Utica Asylum, bat he had come to the conclusion that those county authorities who had provided for their own insane kad adopted the wisest course. Mr. Joes inquired how many patients they bad in their asylum at Buffalo last year? Mr. Canrenter—They had sometimes as high as 64. Mr. Jox#s—Do you recollect the number of deaths last ear? 7hr, CanresteR <i not recollect; but there was a large number who died of cholera last year. Mr. Jonke—Was there not 50 per cent? Mr. Carrexrix—i do not know. J believe twenty-nine patients died of cholera, Mr. Jramsty spoke of the provisions made by Chaa- tauque county for the cure of its insane. still, he was in tavor of adopting the provisions rocommended by the committee in their report, Mr. Woorwont had some little experience in respect to the trentment of insane, Some years ago he thougut it would be proper to have county accominodations for them, but after some visits to the Uliea Asylum he gave uj that idea, They gent ail their insane to the aayiuin, x1 the cases were over 30 per ceut, He did not think inuch of the trentment of insane in county poor houses. if they were to have physicians in each eounty they woul have 50 of them; whereas, if they had only three or four Stave they would only have that limited number of I boards, He visited Jefferson county poor house some two years ago, and found 25 inxawe people, One of them bad been confined for 25 years, and was in the habit of being chained to trees, aud when he was indoors of being chained im the cell: This was destructive treat- ment. Atall events, (here was too mich sameness in these poor houses, He believed that if the tax payers would visit the asylum in Ucica, they would say, “Away with these county asylums.’ Dr. Gray called attention to the fact that from the 21 counties heard from, there were 400 insane cared for, Of there, 119 were coniined, CO were kept in cells, and 34 were under restraint. [f, out of this small number of patients, balf of the number were fo sed restraint in an asylum, it would be a disgrace to civilization, Out of the whole amber of people incurables sent from work houses and all, since the opening of the institution, 42 per cent were cured.

It was thought, by most of the members, that the powers of the Commissioners of Kmigratien were owing too large. Mr. Jermatn was for “taking the bull y the horns,” and grappling with the institution as General Jackson did with the United States Bank, Mr. Jones thought that the gentleman fiom Chau- tanque, (Mr. Jermain,) was quite right. He (Mr. Jones) bad been long trying to awaken the Superintendents of the Poor, and the people ny, to th re aris- ing fromthe powers exercised by these mi missioners, or rather by Mr. Wheeler, who ia the de facto Commissioner. He was glad to see that the Superin- tendents of the Poor are now awake to this danger. New York Quarantine and the Baltimore Authorities. mi (From the Baltimore American, Sept. 25."

MONEY MARKET. Wxoxpway, Sept. 26—6 P, M. ‘the stock market presents the same icatures we have noticed for some days, But tor the speculation going on in Erie we ehould have very dull times at the stock ex- change. The variations, compared with yosterday’s prices, do not amount to much, but the tendency was downward throughout, and lower prices ruled at the close, At the first board, Indiana 5's fell off 34 per ceat. Krie bonds 1875, 124; Delaware and Hudson, %{; Nicaragua Trunsit, 36; Reading Railroad, 3; Hudson River Railroad, 1; Cleveland and Toledo, 3; Chicago and Rock Island, %; Michigan Southern advanced 1 per cent. [linois Central bonds, 34. Reading was firm this morning at yesterday’s prices. Buyers and sellers appear to be pretty equally divided in strength, and do not gain much eithor way ‘There was more sctivity to-day in Chicago and Kock Isiand. Cleveland and Toledo was ajso more active than for some days past. The difference paid between cash and buyer's option, thirty and sixty days, shows agcowing in- crease in the value oftnoney. Buyers prefer that time, be- Meving {t will carry them over the severity of the present pinch in financial affairs, The impression is becoming gen- eral that during the month of JOctober money matters will be stringent, but that after the Ist of November we shall have a rapid let up, and before the opening of winter au uctive speculative movement in the stock market. Al! who are at all experienced in the ways of Wall street and the policy of our banking institutions have for some time past antictpated @ contraction, and ure therefore pre: pared for the present stringency. It is the natural re- sult of the operation of natural laws, and must run its couree. During the latter part of last year and the early part of this, a strong and rapid contraction was going on in all branches of commerce and industry. Every one was drawing in and accumulsting bis capital in some safe place, where he could put his hand on it when wanted. For nearly twelve months, the universal movement was towards liquidation, and it probably was carried out more thoroughly than ever before. The result was that to- wards the close of last spring capital to a vast amount had accumulated, and no demand existed for it. It con- centrated in Wall street from all sections of the country, and in July last the banks held large balances. Money became so abundant that large investments were made in most of the sound dividend paying stocks of the day, and they, naturally enough, advanced, and became better distributed. Fancy stocks were not benefitted much by the plethora in the money market, for men of means would not touch anything not possegsing real merit, The recollections of the fall of 1854 were too tresh in their minds to enter again Bo soon into such speculations, Asthe season advanced and the growing crops bid fairto be most abundant, confiieucs strength- ened and busines: revived. Gradually the demand ‘or money increased and many investmentsin stocks were withdrawn, the capital being required for commerei:) purposes. At that time the banks were not only largely expanded on stock or call loans, but exhibited a weekly increase which in a short time carried the aggregate far beyond anything previously known in their’history. ‘The condition of business atthe time did not justify such a rapid inflation, but the increase was caused by the loans tothe mercantile classes being piled upon those pre- viously made on stocks. Such an expansion had never before been known and it was the general opinion that it could not be sustained. Either stock speculators or the merchants had to be sacrificed. One or the other had togive way. The banks maintained their position much longer than we expected, but finally{communoed calling in their stock loans and have rapidly reduced their line of discount. The accumulation of first clas« business paper growing out of increasing activity of business is more than the banks can take care of, anil the offerings are largely in excess of the discounts. The money market has tightened suddenly, and we have no one to thank for it but the banks. Banks are a curse to any community in which they are located; but it is only about once in every twelve months that the public agree with usin this denunciation, They have, during the past six months, encouraged speculation in stocks to tie extent of their means, and now they are doing all in their power to depress the market and compel holders tw realize, They will succeed with weak operators in wes! stocks, but the strong, sound, dividend paying securitie never have depeaded upon bank aid, and can stand with- out their help. Fancy stocks, and doubtful divident paying stocks, must feel the present contraction, and we should not be surprised to see a serious depreciation. ‘They have been infiated on bank loans, and it fuilow. that they must depreciate as the sustaining power i withdiawn, Afier the adjournment of the board, the following sales were nade at auction by Adrian H. Muller:— $181,(00 Yenna. coupon 5’s. 1877. .Tnt added 804 & 905; 5,000 Memphin City 6s, 1884... do. .... 64 At the second board the market was a shade or two lower. Erie declined 4g per cent; Cumberland, 4; Indiana 5's, 34; Cleveland and Toledo, 1; Galena and Chicago, +4; Chicago and Rock Island, 3. There was a sale of Mich! gan Southern this afternoon at 13, per cent above the cath price, on buyer's option, ninety days. This shows how valusble money is becoming. Chicago and Rock Island sold to-day, buyer’s option, sixty days, 134 per cent above the current cash price. This shows the con- fidence of purchasers in these stocks for investment, an‘! this confidence will rapidly inflate prices as soon as the present pinch in the money market passes away. Albert H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly auction sale of stocks and bonds will take place to-morrow (Thurs: day), at 12 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. ‘The steamship Africa, from Boston for Liverpool, to- day, carried out $656,314 in specie, ‘The Bank of the Commonwealth has declared a semi- annual dividend of three ana a half per cent.

Some of the best men in the city are concerned, and it will be started in the right way up, on the proper basis. It is to be located on the site of the Clinton Hotel. There is not a better place on the cast side of the city. Beekman street must soon be filled with immense warehouses, and occupied by the heaviest dealers in all our great staples. Wholesale grocers will find Beekman street a very convenient place for their line of business. A firm engaged in that busi- ness is putting up o splendid and extensive store on the corner of Beckman and Nassau streets, and others will soon follow suite. The old Brick Church must soon be removed for the erection of some public building, and then that neighborhood will be the most central and the most desirable in the city. The originators of the new bank referred to exhibit a good deal of shrewdness and foresight in selecting the head of Beekman street for their banking houre. ‘The annexed siatement exhibits the gross earnings of the Michigan Southern Railroad Company in each of the first eight months of the present and past yeara:— Total ssccceseceeseces, $265,513 25 $1,641,694 77 Increacve this year in eight montbs.........$286,181 52 The fellowing semi-official statement relative to the prospective earnings of this company, its finances, &>., ie from the Zritune, and we copy it for the purpose of endorsing the conclusions, We are glad to see our buil contemporaries confining their attentions more and more every day to the examination of the most prominent retlread Mnes of the -country, They have been j trying to bolster op all the old rotten, rickety | roads leng enough, and itis fall time they left them to their inevitabl- fate and presen'ed for tie cou-ileration of the public mind works posse sing all the true elements of prosperity, works which, aithovgh now and fa their infancy, ure uiready highly prod .ctive aud if properly arranged, prove permoneuily an: productive.
