Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-27

The Legislative COmmittee, Wno
lately visited the Insane Of the State at
Woodbridge, conclude as follows rela.
tive to the proposition to build an
asylum in this State. That while they
fully realize, the force of the arguments
in favor of the construction of an insane
asylum within the borders of our State,
viz: that the money expended in the
care of this class of unfortunates
should be expended at home, and
that the cost to their friends in visiting
them is to some extent increased, yet
they deem it decidedly unadvisable in
the present condition of our State
finances to attempt the construction OF
such an asylum at this time, or Tor
some years to come: and further, that
the difference between the salubrlty OF
the climate of California and our own
rigorous one, is q reason that should
have no small weight, were an addl-
lional one needed. They would, there
fore, respectfully recommend that the
present Board OF Commissioners for
the Care OF the INDECENT Insane of our
State, be authorized and empowered
by the necessary legislation, should
such be needed, to contract on the
most reasonable terms possible, with
Drs. Langton and Clarke, for the treat
ment, care, and maintenance OF our
insane, for At least four years to come.

grand legislative ball is hereby acknowl-
edged. The ball will be given to- morrow
evening at the Arlington House, and the
arrangements are being perfected in the
most admirable style. Seymour Pi1!ey
ia in charge of the party. and the mention
of his success already in this sphere dur
ing the present session. is the best recon-
mendation We can give the affair. The
ticket price is five dollars. but NO pur-
chaser will regret the amount he will be
Obliged to spend. The rooms will be
decorated and furnished with Q great
deal of taste, and the music will be the

The CoMPRoMIsE.-Itis made special
order for IL O'Clock to-day in the Assem-
bly,. According to the resolution offered
yesterday by Harris, the debate will close
at five. and then vote will be reached.
While the opponents of the bill declare
that they are IN the minority, and that
the same will be passed Notwithstanding
their efforts in opposition, yet 1t is prob
able an animated discussion will result.
Every member probably knows at pres
ent lust what bis vote will be and no
amount Of talk will change the result,
vet it is right that full and free discus
sion should be had.
B1ENvENu REcEpT1oN.-The usual re-
ception of the Bienvenu Club will be
given at the Theater Hall this evening
This will be the last one before the ad-
journment of the Legislature, and will be
an enjoyable one of its kind. In spite OF
the great avalanche of sarcasm and wit so
lately showered against the Bienvenus by
the editor of the Reveille, We will ven
ture again to say that the party will be
select and aristocratic one. and this on
the supposition that the editor in ques-
ton will not be there.
TIE INsANE.-The report of the Com
mittee to visit the State insane and deaf
and dumb in California has been printed,
1t states that both these unfortunate
classes are being we'll cared for. and rec
ommends renewal OF the contract by
which they are now maintained.
When the bill to prohibit vagrancy
came up yesterday in the House, one

able to himself.
