THE FEMALE DOCTOR BILL.
II is Discussed Before the Committee on
AsyIums and Prisons.

The Committee on Asylums and Prisons
met yesterday in the Office Of the Register
Of the Land Office. The bill TO substitute
six laborers to do the work on the Capt.
to square i'm place OF the convicts VINO
are now employed. was discussed at
some length. Major Gaines stated 90 the
committee that the work of the conyicts
was under his supervision, and that he
appointed one OF the Capitol police TO
control them. If the six laborers We're
employed. ne said. they could not well
be put under the control of a policeman.
and he certainly could not give his per-
sonal attention 10 see that the work was
properly done.
Mr.. Binford. thought that Major Gaines
should not denur in regard to the mat
ter. as there would be no additional work
put upon him.
Mr.. Shcffey opposed the bill. and said
that he thought the convict labor should
be retained.
Mr.. Bnford then Withdrew his bill, and
said he would bring it directly TO the
House for consideration.
MIR Campbell then explained a bill in
troduced by him. asking that thirty con-
Victs be allowed to work the roads Of
Amherst county. The bill was reported
unfavorably. IS was also one asking for
convict labor an Lee county.
Mr.. Withrow's bin to prohibit the hiring
OF cOnvicts for work on railroads was re-
ported fay0rably. there being no objection
manifested TO the measure.
When Mr.. koiner's bill. providing for
the appointment of a female physician
for each asylum Of the State, came M
Or. Nash. assistant physician OF the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum, expressed his
views on the subject. He thought il
would not be advisable to enact such a
law at the present time. He did not
know of any female physician in this
State who would be competent to per-
form such profession work as would be
required of them In an asylum They
would have 10 choose these female phv-
sicians from the North. However, if
such a measure was to be passed, he
thought the appointment of the female
physicians should be left discretionary
with the asylum board. The further con-
sideration OF the bill was postponed.
The Senate bill authorizing the enlarge
ment of the State prison enclosure by the
erection Of a new wall on the north side
of the penitentiary and the erection OF a
building on the stable lot for the accom-
mediation OF the wagons OF the institu-
ton, was reported favorably.
