The Asylum's budget consists of two essentially
distinct elements: One inpdradbte, the other cart
able The invariable element consists Of the guam
| titles which experience shows to be indispensable
| to the Legitimate satisfaction OF sill the needs
both individual and general. OF an Institution OF
this kind, and it consists OF certain number OF
| objects appsrtaining to every branch OF the bud
get; Tor instance. the rations OF bread, meats,
| groceries, given the inmates and employees; the
quantity Of goods and bedding articles respective
~ necessary to the dressing and resting OF the
| inmates and servants; the objects indispensable
to the preservation Of the furniture and utensils,
those necessary to the cleanliness Of the rooms
to heating, lighting, washing, keeping up Of
| buildings and fences and the purchase OF drugs
| and finally the expenses of the administration,
All these Quantities ynS should be calculated from
| an exact knowledge Of the needs OF the asylum
and the data furnished by experience; they can.
| not be increased without prodigality. nor dimin-
ished without causing suffering.
The variable element Of a budget Is repre-
sented by the f1uctuation of prices Of the differ
| ent objects composing it; it u.s. in fact, evident
| that these prices must change according to the
state Of the market which is itself subject to the
variations Of agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts, according to times and circumstances. In
short, the invariable element is always Identical
and the variable element Is susceptible Of yearly
fluctuations. .o
The budget of the asylum from the first to the

It is not our province to discuss the above fg-
ures. We shall simply remark that all the OK
penses Of patient for one day amount to twenty
three cents. If this figure be compared with the
amount allowed the inmates of the Parish Prison,
forty cents apiece per day, you will agree with

insufficient. We leave it to ysur sense Of JUS
tice to do this, and shall not fix the amount.
As means of econom y, we suggest:

anained by the administrator and superintendent
on delivery.
q We suggest the establishment Of bakery
in the asylum. We think that after the payment
of the oven and appurtensnces this would BE- Q
source of great economy to the asylum.

TIE Florida Frauds.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Individual members of
the House committee on judiciary have ex-
pressed themselves in opposition to reporting
a resolution for investigation of the alleged
Florida Presidential election frauds, as de-
sired by those who have entreated a proceeding
to that end As the committee have the Mont
gomery Blair resolutions before them, they
desire to avoid the appearance of an intention
to consider them in connection with the Flori-
da question. The two subjects being separate,
they will be cautious that they shall not
be blended, one being designed
to raise the question of the right of President
HAYES to hold his office, and the other merely
calculated to elicit facts in relation to the
Florida election. The judiciary committee will
meet tomorrow to consider suggestions already
made to them as individuals. Should
they decide to wait for instructions
from the House, Gen. Williams, of Michigan,
will offer a resolution, already prepared
instructing the committee on judiciary TO in
quire into all the facts touching the Florida
election, and authorizing them to send for per-
sons and papers. The preamble of the resolu-
ton sets forth as ground for action the con-
fession of fraud by McLin, president of the
board of State canvassers, who participated IN
them and gave the electoral vote
to Hayes and Wheeler. 1t Is
thought from certain indications to-day,
though the assertion cannot be made positively,
that Gen. Butler will offer an amendment to
such resolution, instructing the committee
also to investigate the subject of the Preslden-
tial vote of Louisiana. Representatives Fin
lev, Williams, of Michigan; Davidson, Randall
and several others held conference this after
noon as to the best mode of proceeding IN the
premises.

1t IS settled and conceded on all hands that
no process of eviction under existing statutes
can have any force as against Hayes tenure.
The question in the minds of Congressman
Is Therefore, what Is the readiest method by
which the needed authority can be provided.
One plan suggests adjudication of the whole
question by the supreme court. Another
LOOKS to regular investigation by Joint
committee of both Houses of Congress. to
lind out and report the facts accompanied
by such recommendations as may be deemed
necessary. All agree that the first step is to
get the facts into the shape of official his
tory; to settle beyond cavil or peradventure
of doubt the point that fraud was committed
and that the fraud changed the result. This
will not be difficult to do. But the subse
quent regulation of the succession is mat
ter Of more intricacy. On this point various
suggestions are advanced. One is to in
augurate Tilden for the remainder of the
term; another is for the Senate to elect pro
siding officer who shall take the Presidential
chair IN constitutional succession as Vice
President; another is for the House to elect;
and another IS to proceed to new election
this fall by the people for the unexpired
term. give these suggestions as part of
the gossip of the day. But one thing seems
to be matter of common consent, or rapid
~ becoming SO, and that is that Hayes can
hardly hope to serve out the term of four
years unmolested. This may be described as
a growing sentiment which is rapidly crystal
LIKING into fixed conviction. It seems now
to be sort of tacit understanding III general
terms, but cannot be said to he definite
enough to suggest methods for the accom-
plishment of the end involved. These
methods are matters for subsequent consid-
Grafton. At present it is sufficient to say that
nearly everybody regards Mr.. Hayes as a
doomed man.

Representative Clark, of New jersey, of
the House military committee, to whom was
referred resolution of January last, charg-
ing the signal service with inef1iciency and
extravaganza of management, and directing
an inquiry whether this service could not be
consolidated with the coast survey and the
hfe-saving service with advantage to the pub
lie interest, yesterday submitted report to
the military committee. Mr.. Clark, after
thorough examination, finds that the service
is both efficient and economical: that it is
growing in popularity, as is shown by the
fact that since his inquiry commenced bills
for thirteen additional stations in separate
States have been introduced in the House;
that, so far as appears from the evidence
there Is no reason for its consol-
idation with the other departments named.
and that while the service is capable of i'm
provement, and its extension is desi, able,
and is urged by the chief signal officer, es-
pecially for the benefit of the farming COM
munity, this is impossible, with the appro-
| priation now available.
