Mr.. Heatou favored the bill as il
stood. He looked upon these foreign

his observation where a gentleman bad

called him away because his wife was
afraid of the foreigners who often offer
insults and always address ladies in
frirbtening tones.
Mr.. Dloyd was utterly opposed to the
bill, es it would work hardship upon
some worthy classes.
Mr.. Hubbard heartily endorsed what
had been said by Mr.. Heaton. He also
regarded this class as nuisance.
Mr.. Wickham opposed the bill and
moved TO make the county tax 300 III
stead of $500. This ike several other
amendments proposed was lost, and the
bill as amended by the Finance Com
mittee was passed by the following re-

Mr.. Lovenstein called up the bill
making al Appropriation Of $4,000 to
furnish the new addition to the lunatic
asylum at Petersburg and to provide for
the support OF additional inmates. he
said that the building was complete, but
not furnished that there are in the
State 200 or more colored lunatics for
whom there is now no room.
Mr.. Koiner thought this a meritorious
bill, but he desired to call attention to
the pernicious practice that has sprung
up in Virginia among the directors of
public institutions transcending the APP
preparations made. He hoped to see
some legislation enacted that would
break up this thing OF having constant
ly to make appropriationsforsuc arIear-
ages. He thought these directors should
be made personally responsible for liza
bilities 50 incurred.
Mr. Wickham also entered his protest
against this mode of procedure. lie
thought, after the experience OF few
wears ago when the present party came
into power and had to make large appro-
priations to meet arrearages and to put
the transactions of these institutions on
cash basis, that no further experiences
of this character would be mad. He
said. in conclusion, that he would like
to know the nature of the arrearage in
the present case.
Mr.. Lovenstein replied that but $50 900
WAS appropriated for this institution,
while Williamsburg, with no more pa
tients, received S7J, 900 that while the
appropriation was for the support of 400
patients, 70 more were crowded in, and
the deficiency grew out of the cost of the
support of these. He said further that
the committee who visited this institution
last week found it excellently managed.
Mr.. HeatOn spoke twice on the sub
feet. He was in favor of this bill, which
he considered merltOrious one, but he
desired to enforce what had been so well
said by Messrs. Koiner and Wickham.
He hoped the Senate would adopt reso-
luton which he signifed his intention TO
offer at some future time requiring the
officers of those institutions to make item
lied reports of disbursements of funds
to the Auditor and have it incorporated
in his annual report. Mr.. Heaton has
ALWAYS advocated such a course.
Mr.. Hurt (Nr Williams i'll the chair)
took advantage of this opportunity to say
publicly that he hoped the Finance Com
mittee would report the general appro-
priation at as early a day as possible.
Mr.. Staples stated that the committee
had begun the preparation of this bill.
The bill was ordered TO its eAgross-
ment and was unanimously passed.
This bill provides for the support Of
inmates who will be placed in the new
addition between now aud the lst of
April in addition to what is stated above.
The new addition will accommodate
about 200 persons.
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
Mr.. Gordon called up ont OF its order

of Charlottesville. The bill was ordered
to its eDgrossment, and under a sus-
pension of the rules, was advanced to its

porate limits.
