On motion Of Mr.. BAYARD the Senate took up
the bill To pr vide for the erection OF a hospital III
the city of Washington. He stated that the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia proposed certain
amen ments TO the bill OF which provided mat,
instead of erecting costly building, certain a'era
tons should be made in the old jail and he GROUNDS
connected with it. The expenses attending these
improvements would not be than ten thousand
dollars instead of twenty thousand dollars Tor the
erection of a new building, as contemplated oy the
original proposition.
Mr. WRIGHT, although his sympathies were
with the unfortunate class Of individuals designed 10
be benefited, could not vote for the bill, regarding
it, he did, to be the germ Of great national es-
Establishment
Mr. BAYARD said that Congress made annual
appropriations for sending insane persons to the Ma
ryland hospital; but they could be supported al
much less expense in the establishment proposed 10
be created than paid for their support in Balt-
more.
Mr.. TAPPAN observed that it had been happily
ascera aimed tha, insane persons by means OF bodily
exercise, free air and proper attention, might be ie
covered but not regained his senses by be-
ing shut up in a prison
Mr.. BAYARD remarked that The amendment Of the
committee would accomplish the very thing which
the Senator desired. Heretofore those unfortunate
individuals had been confined in the public jail; but
now 1t was intended to change the appearance OF that
building altogether; and by fencing in portion OF
the square which the jail is erected and
planting trees and shrubbery, make the proposed IN
stltution d very pleasant summer retreat.

by the Senator from New York (Mr. WrightD lie

tution and new exercise of power not belonging to
