A Soldiers Home,

The Louisville Journal OF Tuesday week has a
lengthy aid able editorial OH the subject of asly-
ums fer disabled soldiers, in which it proposes that
the Jacksonville hospt,l buildings be turned
over by tho National Government 10 Indiana, or
TO this State and Kentucky jointly, as home for
disabled soldiers. The suggestion Is in our opin-
ion, excellent one, and offers the most feasible
measure of earl, relief to this worthy class that
has yet been made. The hospital buildings form
village of neat and convenient houses, With all
the appliances for comfort and convenience that
the lavish generosity of the Government could
provide aud would furnish pleasant quarters for
hundreds OF helpless veterans, whose claims for
assstancc are too sacred TO be disregardcd. We
understand the cost OF the Jacksonville Hospital
approached quarter of million of dollars, nearly
all Of which must he sacrificed BY sale of the
buiidingsand furn shng. as tho former would
have 10 be sold FOR old lumber, and The latter
would bring but nominal prices. On this point
the Journal s:ys: '
Instead of selling off its movable effects at auc-
ton for mere pttance and thus sacrifice what has
cost the Government large sum, We would turn
the establishment into industrial asiyum for
disabled soldiesr. This can be easily aud chearly
done, and done without delay. Various kinds OF
domestic manufacturers might be introduced
Each family have lot OF ground specially appro-
priated to the use fits members. The grounds.
said before, can be purchased, say for fifty
thousand dollar, and the pardphernalia Of an
asylum village Is already there, and will need lit
tie guilty to adapt it to the purpose proposed.
Will the authorities at Washington take this sub
ect into consideration Il is worthy of attention,
and Of their action.
The only objection see to this proposition is,
that Jacksonville is the extreme border of the
State. but the great saving to be made by securing
the buid;n. - 'by the gift of the Government, or
even by purchase at the hishes. price tht could
be expected on their demolition AID sale at
tion, more than cOunterbllances that cousdcra
ton. similar hospital near Columbus has been
transferred 20 Ohio as lone for disabled soldiers,
and there is no doubt that the authorities at Wash
ington would be equally liberal with Indiana and
Kentucky. There is also n like hospital near
VI ,dson that would probably answer the same
purpose, if any solid objection exists to Jefferson
Vile The selection Of either for the Soldier s
II )me, would save an outlay of many thousands OF
dollars for the construction Of buildings elsewhere
