Fhe House then proceeded to consider the apDro-
and bills of
alr fanceg in the Chair.
on the appropriation of S12 600 to the Williams
hnrg and 900 to the Staunton Luna,c Hospitals
discussion eilsued in which Nessrs. Miller of Powba
tan, Bryce Minor, .McCue, Terriil, and Carer took
par.-Compaintsw were made at the want of detail in
the accounts OF the two institutions, and 4 motion
was made by Mr. .NcCue, bot again Withdrawn for
the PRESENT, 10 increase the appropriation TO tie
Staunton Hospital from SIX TO nine thousand dollars
We were happy to perceive too, some indications of
conviction of the necessity of making appropri-
alton for the enlargement Of the Hospital ut Stuun-
tom 1t is melancholy fact and ope which strongly
addresses Itself to humanity, that there is at this
tine, Gin insnfticency of accommodation for this
most unfortunate class of sufferers; the cons
OF who n, 49, that so go lunatics are confined
IN the Jails of the Commons ealth among COW lets
and ie!ons-deprped of the comforts which their
melancholy condition peculiarly demands, and of
the medical treatment which alone offers slender
chance OF final recovery. Thc Commonw ca lth now
advances $4,000 per annum for the support of those
lonaics, who being unable from repetion to get ad
mission INTO the Hospitals, and having no means Of
their oVn, the public is obGghd to provide for.
This annual appropriation would amount in few
years, to sufficient to make the requisite adj
ditions to the Hospa! at Stanton or to build new
one, and economy we'll humnny, would be
consulted, by providing accommodation for these
InfoTtnnates. Circumstances have induced us to
look into this matter with particularly and no
man can do SO. without feeling the deepest commits
sera,on, and on earnest hope that the General As
sembly will provide asylum for those upon whom
Heaven has visited SO awful calamity.
These bills we're read through, the blanks filed
and ordered to be engrossed for third reading
The Speaker laid before the House communico
ton from the President of the Board of Public
Works, exculpatory of the public conduct of Mai.
James c. Warren, Commissioner of the Kanawba
Road, against which complaints had been
made.
On motion Of Mr.. uinor, the House adjourned.
