Most Of the morning session of the 1
Hous. was devoted in Committee of the
Whole, when they discussed the bill in !
relation to INDECENT insane persons /
who are taken from this state and c
placed in an asylum in Philadelphia.
Those who discussed the matter were {
mainly opposed to the bill, unless pro-
vision was made for the persons sent q
there to enjoy the full benefits of the ,
institution, (the bill only appropriates )
a certain sum to each Individual, which |
is not enough to guarantee them proper
care After lengthy debate the bill ,
was reported untavorably to the House, :
and upon motion it was rt-cOnulittcd TO I
the committee in order that further dis
cussion might be INDUCED in.
The Senate passed the Sussex Mid /
land Railroad bill, which ha, been be- i
tore the Legislature from the beginning
of the session, but after several amend
ments was permitted 10 pass the House
and now the Company can go right
ahead with the proposed road.
The House seem very much at sea
over the bill amending the charter of
the Rehohoth Beach Association. and
hardly knew how to vote when it was
called up to-day, and by this maupu-
wiring the bill was defeated, but after |
wards re-considered and laid on the |
table.
Some Of the amendments are looked
upon with favor and the members seem
to understand them, but there are other
amendments that they think should not
be there, hence the difficulty. II isl
thought that when the matter is proper
ly explained, there will be trouble in
passing the bill, which, as Speaker
Bates asserted, was a meritor!ons one
and should pass.
