Mr.. STEVENSON moved to amend DI
making the resolution read the time
necessarily" engaged, which was agreed
to. --+ s-a.t
l. Mr.. ZINN was opposed to the resOlu
tion. He did not consider the infOrma
tion'worth ANYTHING to this Legislature
and thought the next should appoint IL
own committees. He did not believ,
the charges made against those connect
ed with the asylum. --rs~-.
Mr.. HOKE would ask to be relieved
from being one of the committee. Ht
could not do justice unless sufficien
time was allowed at the discretion o
the committee.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH hoped the reso
luton would pass. He elooked upon this
investigation as matter of great i'm
portance. He knew that the Board o.
Directors would resign if this e1amina
tion would not be made. They werc on
ly holding on now waiting for the com
mittee to proceed with the investiga
tion.
Mr.. STEVENSON thought that the
matter ought TO lay over nntif tie next
session. rsr L. rgr 80
Mfr. CHAPLINE said the committee
onght to examine the matter now. The
rumois Of misconduct of the managers
came from the inside of the institution
and the public mind ought TO be salts
fed as TO the truth of the charges.
I The question recurring on the adOp.
tion Of the resolution, Mr.. ZlNN called
for the yeas and nays, which were as
follows:
YEAs-Mcssrs. Boreman, Barley, Chap

So the resolution was adopted. The
committee, Messrs. Applegate, Hoke aud
Drunimond were excused from voting.
Mr.. ZINN, from the joint committee
appointed TO investigate the affairs OF
the State Penitentiary, submitted their
report. The report says the committee
were unable to discover any misconduct
on the part of the gentlemen comprising
the Board of Directors, or the Super
iutendent, but admits that there have
been some mistakes, which mistakes
the r..port does not specify. The CON-
mittee recommend that liberal appro'
priation be made to carry on the work
The report was adopted.
