| Mr. WHITTLE-The committee were con
WINGED that the Legislature would not sanction
he dlrec, appropriation from the treasury
For FIVE wears, year after year, the attempt had
been made but always failed; hence the CON-
mi,tee had not thought proper TO recommend II.
| Mr. w. did not see why the deaf, dumb and
| hind houd no, be entitled TO the snme bounty
as the indigeat poor; and tbs appropriation 10
the forn,er ~ the committees amendment is MOI
TOO large in proportion 10 their number. Mr.
". sustained the committees amendment,
! Mr.. BURWtLL-The House of Delegates
have often passed bill for the direct appropria-
ton from Inc treasury, bui il was lost n Tue
| Senate. The Literary Fund was especially
destined for education; but !, had been conisca-
ted aud app opria,ed 10 internal improvements
and other purposes, to the injury Of the cause
| of education. He was anxious 10 have that fund
increased, so that lis BENEFITS might DO more
| extensively distributed
Mr.. NONCURE- Literary Fund had
been charged with $4,000 for primary educa,
lion; with SIS 600 for Universuyi with 81 SUI
for M ,itary Institute and go 600 for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind. The Reysors bad lett out
he last named appropriation rom The Literary
Fund on The sole ground that he surplus OF the
Literary Fund was Too small. But The committee
had ascerlainet that here was surplus o. some
| 50 200 N the Literary Fund, and hence the
committee had, with The consent Of the Revsors,
| restored the chaIgc on That Fund
/ Mr.. BURWELL-E the surplus was very
| small aud merely trivial as the hevisors mad
said he should not care about II, but as the
surplus amounted TO upwar1s OF IS OCU, ne
thought il should be scrupulousy devoted to
primary education as the great and ouly OBJECT.
Mr.. YERBY had always resisted The combs
cation OF the Literary Fund for purposes other
than education and, with Mr. b., be looked
forward with interest 10 the annual increase oil
This Fund. Ii We cut of this annual increase,
we destroy that Fund. MIR. 7. zealously advc
