Where Has the Money Gone /?


What has become of the appropria-
tions made last winter to enlarge the
accommodations of our lunatic asylums !?
In our jail there are still three of this
unfortunate class of fellow beings, well
cared for to be sure, but without the
medical treatment such cases should
receive. Among them is very worthy
young lady who has been here more
than a year. Is nothing to be done for
such sufferers besides passing resolti-
tons?
We do not think the States money is
equally distributed anyhow. Deny it
as much as they may, the fact still
stares us in the face that pay patients"
gain adnittance to our asylums while
others are left out in the cold and this
notwithstanding the States annual
donation Of sixty thousand dollars to
each institution. Denials and explana-
tons are of little force on this point
when observation shows us the real
facts.
1t is high time something were being
done in this matter. We want prompt
and courageous work. Too much
Difference is shown to managers Of
Institutions. Partially should be rebuked
and punished without regard to men,
their positions or connexions. We
cannot recall All instance in which a pay
patient has been denied adnittance to
some one Of the asyluns, while, Oh the
other hand, the poor are left to drag out
miserable existence III felons cells,
without hope Of cure, and atan additional
expense to taxpayers beyond that
which ought to be, and is, amply
sufficient if properly discussed.
We would suggest that the legis-
lature inquire into this matter. If they
would do it by investigation, let them
be sure they appoint men who can
write an after dinner report; or else
instruct that, after dining in Staunton
and Williamsburg, the committee shall
visit the jails Of the Commonwealth
before concluding their labors.
We beg gentlemen Of the general
assembly to withdraw from the con-
sideration of dog tax for little time to
think and act upon this important
subject.

5. That the claim propounded and

TIE Virginia Resoiati Ons.

The following are the resolutions
adopted at Richmond:
ReaQce2, That the recent presidential
election threatens to be one of grave
Importance, involving momentous re.
suits, affecting for all time the consti.
tutional method Of determining the title
to the Chief Magistrate Of our Republic.
The difficulties that have arisen have
been caused by the illegal and fauiu.
lent practices Of the canvassing board in
some Of the States, and the only mode
Of extricating the country from the
dangers that imperil our institutions is
by firm adherence to the cardinal
principles Of the Constitution and a
strict observance Of the long established
precedents on such occasions.
2. That the right to count the cleo
toral votes, and the right to determine
the authenticity or validity of any vote.
belongs exclusively to the two houses
Of Congress, and this right to count the
vote, conferred on the two houses OF
Congress by the Constitution, empowers
them to pass all laws and rules neces-
sary and proper to carry the granted
power into effect, And in the exercise
of this power heretofore the mode OF
procedure has been invariably regulated
by concurrent resolutions or standing
rules adopted by the two houses before
the count. Such has been the official
exposition Of the Constitution and the
inyariable practice of the Government
which has been deliberately adopted.
uniformity acted upon, and invariably
accepted.
8. That should the two houses be
unable to agree upon a mode of pro-
cedure, and thereby unable to declare
which of the candidates has been con-
stitutionally elected by the people, then
the contingency contemplated and pro-
vided for by the Constitution will have
arisen, when it will be the duty of the
House of Representative to elect a
President from the three persons having
the highest lumber of votes, and the
person thus chosen will be the lawful
