istrators of this institution l deem it my
duty to state dilemma in which [ find my
self placed. and ts solicit your advice in the
matter. By military order the legislative
provision made for the asylum for the year
1867, was extended to the year 1865, and
under sanction of that order, drew on the
State treasury for means of subsistence up
to first July, ultimo the close of second
quarter. But the State having passed from
presents itself whether or not the order re-
ferred to has yet operation. If you enter
tain the opinion that it is yet in force, be
pleased so to signify to me, but if not
respectfully suggest the propriety Of your
inviting the prompt attention of
the Legislature to the need Of providing for
the wants OF the Asylum. Wehave means
sufficient to pay current charges up to the
close of the present (third) quarter, and
have on hand bacon and barreled pork suf-
dcient TO last the rear out, and ell the wiz
ter clothing OF the patients or material for
1t, providing some hannels, shoes, and hats
are provided; but on first October we shall
need funds to pay salaries and wages of
present quarter, and TO replenish our stock
of coffee, sugar, rice, etc.: as also to meet
engagements with the baker and the
butcher.
You will no doubt be pleased to learn that
all in the Asylum. patients as well as officers
and attendants, are free from acute diseases.
All told they number one hundred and
eighty adults, and one infant: and there is
not a present case Of acute indispositior.
Very respectfully.

The undersigned, members of the Com.
mittee on Elections and Qualifications, re-
port to your honorably body that in the case
| Of the parish of Franklin, where Isaac j.
| Crawford contests the seat of John G. Hum
| bic, as Representative; that considerable
portion of the evidence offered by the con
| testant to show violence and intimidation,
and in fact all the evidence offered which
tends to show violence and force, Is given
hearsay; and as such inadmissible in all the
courts of the country: that in our opinion
IL should be rejected for those reasons on
| file in the case. 1t is proved that all par
ties came to the polls armed, and people
| generally go armed in that part of the State.
There is no legal evidence to show that force
or intimidation or fraud were used on either
Of said election days; or that any one desi-
! ring to vote could not have done so, and
voted for whom they pleased.
The evidence shows that two colored
| voters came to the polls armed and voted
openly the Republican ticket without mo-
| lestation in any way, and that at the pre-
cinct complained of; and they swear they
| saw no violence or heard no threats. That
there being no evidence of violence, fraud
| or intimidation in said election we, the un-
! designed, recommend that John @. Hum,
Bile be declared entitled to Lis seat and
| allowed to take the same.

weather and Yafer-

Alter an almost uncomfortable night,
with the mercury at sc degrees at
midnight, yesterday opened glowing
hot, the mercury at 90 degrees at 9
a. NJ, and steadily ascending until it
had reached 1O3 degrees atnoon. with
an upward tendency. 1t indicated
104 degrees at II o'clock, in W. G.
Brown & Co.'S Office. A spanking
breeze from the Southeast modified
the heat, to some extent, in the shade,
but in the sun the brick and stone
pavements and the powdered streets
fairly glowed as with white heat. 1t
is absolutely dangerous to move about
in the sun, at such a temperature.
The river has not perceptibly declined
during the twenty-four hours ending
at 3 o'clock yesterday.
