regard to raising the state of siege was en-
ergetically objected to by majority Of the
members, who claimed that the mainten-
ance Of the state Of siege was necessary,
in consequence of the recent success of

u. Of these outside the asylums, from the
description given Of their cases, 230 require
treatment. Of shose who are outside of iails,
16l are INDECENT, and there are in jails %.
One fact was elected in the Interview, and
that was that DR.. Stribling, who, up to u short
period before his death had held, With large
portion OF the faculty, that two hundred and
1lfty was as many as ought to be treated in any
one asylum, had modified his views, and be-
cause OF the altered circumstances CT the State,
the increase OF insanity, the necessity of ma
king prompt provisions for the insane, and for
economic reasons, hail resolved to recommend
the enlargement OF his asylum, but his death
prevented it.
Every member OF the committee was present.
AMI the doctor was Intercepted at length by
several OF the committee. 1t seems to be the
impression on the minds of some gentlemen
who have given the matter most thourhtfnl
consideration that the best course to pursue is
10 build new asylum and make an enlarge
ment foo. and as the new asylum would take
several years to be built, the appropriation
necessary could be made in comparatively
light annual installments, and therefore the
| less burthensome.
| It is worthy of notice that DR.. Brewer and
DR.. Fisher both agree OIL the question of the
number that can be treated in any one asy-
| Ium.
Some suggest this Make an addition to the
Western and Eastern sufficient for pressing
wants, and in the meantime go ON with tile
work on the new asylum.
Humanity demands at the hands Of the Gem
eral Assembly that something be done; that
this matter be no longer postponed, and that
no nigggardly spirit be allowed to hinder a
prompt remedy for a terrible evil. We are re-
ioieed to see that the committee are thoroughly
in earnest in an endeavor to do what is right.

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1874-12-24

A sub committee appointed by the Senate
and Committee on Post Office and Post Roads
to inquire into the causes for the incr ase of the
Post Office deficiencies was in consultation
with the Postmaster General on the 10Th. The
House Committee on Appropriations have con-
sttuted a similar committee, who are also at
work. This action is taken to legislate intelli-
gently for this department, and is in no way
censoirous OF the present management. The
principal reason for the large deficiency is the
increased cost Of mail transportation over the
different lines of railway, allied tc the addi-
tional expences incurred by the necessary aug
menting of postal force through the demands
in different cities. One of the main incentives
is for the Investigations Ito determine if possible,
the actual amount Of money to which the rail
roads in controversy with the Department are
entitled, With the view of determining the ques-
ton the Postmaster General has been given
list of pertinent questions, to which answers
are to be prepared from the information pos
sessed by the office.

Senate Committee on Public Institutions.

| This committee had a session OIL the 10Th for
the transaction of their regular business, but
before entering on it Dr.. Moffett introduced
Dr. Fisher, one of the assistant physicians of the
Western Lnnatic Asylum. who. he said. would
make statement in reference to the insane of
the State, which he Or. Moffettl was anxious
the connittee..should hear. The committee
promptly gave their consent and the Doctor
made a statement Of which the following is a
synopsis. First, as to the devising and matur-
i g plan which will insure the speediest re-
lief, ana at the same time be the most eco
nomical. Three methods are suggested:
LIST. The erection Of new building. to be To-
Gated In che Southern portion of the State, ca
pable OF accommodating not less than two hun
dred and fifty patients.
I'd. The purchase OF a large building origi-
nally designed for literary OF other institu-
ton and its conversion into an asylum for the
insane.
Sd. The enlargement Of the Western Asylum
to the requisite size for the accommodation
OF those now needing asylum treatment and
who would likely be committed to an institu-
ton.
1t is urged that the adoption of the third plan
Will be the most economical and speedy mode
OF providing for the unfortunate sufferers at an
outlay OF $500 each, additions can be-made to
accommodate 200 more patients than are held
III the Western Asylum, whereas a new bull
ding could not be put in operation for less than
81 900 each.
The doctor ..hen went on to speak of the adj
vantages presented at Staunton, such as local-
ty, climate, cheapness of supplies, abundance
of water, &C., &C., and urged strongly, in the
name OF humanity, that steps should be taken
for speedy accommodation of this insane
The doctor then made the following state
ment:
The Western Lunatic Asylum was capable of
accommodating 376 patients. There are now
in it 365, leaving ten vacant bed, which, how
ever, could only be occupied by very managea-
Bile patients. In the months of July, August
and September, 1874, 1866 lettars had been adj
dressed from the asylum to medical men
throughout the State, asking information as to
lunatics who to their knowledge were outside
the asyiums. 10 these only 213 responses
were received, and they showed 121 men and
ITO women-total, 29l. Since then there were
so additional applications-tota 81 and. said
the doctor, lit may therefore be assumed that
200 are now outside the asyums. Very partial
returns have been made by the physicians of
the State. Ffty-eight physicians in Augusta
were written to, and only six responded One
hundred and four in Richmond were written to
and only nine responded. Since January 1864,
la3 patients have been admitted. Returns have
