HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House mot at ll A. M. The Committee ou Incorporations re? ported favorably ou a Seuate bill to incor? porate the South Carolina Improvement and Trust Company. Orderod to a second reading. The Committee on tho Lnnatio Asylum submitted tbe following report: The Com mitteo on the Lunatic Assylum beg leave to muke tho following report, stating tbe esti? mate of appropriation needed for the main? tenance and medical ntteution of transient and County paupers in tho Lunatic Asylum from January, 18G9, to January, 1870, ns nlso to cover tho deficit in tho receipts of the yenr 18G8, and for repairs and incidental expenses: For maintenance of transient pau? pers-24 nt. $212 . 85.088 For 33 jier cont, increase. 1,696 For mniutenunco nf County paupers -129 at 852. G.708 For 33 per cent, in?rense. 2.23G For payment of current expenses and debts now duo. 4,501) For incidental repairs to buildings, etc., during tho jeur. 1,000 821,228 This estimate is bnscd upon tho number of patients in thc Asylum on thc 1st of No? vember lust, the dute of tho anuuni report, and differs but little, if at all. from tho esti mato furnished the Comptroller-General bi? llie President of tho Hoard of Regents. Tho appropriation mudo by General Cunby for tho year 18G8 was made from au estimate ou bko basis, and proved tu bo correct. Tho last two items it) tho schedule really constitute tho only appropriation asked for. The first four items must indeed he provi vided for, but tho aggregate, $15,728, is :t debt annually duo by the State, und is a portion of the income of tho Asylum. lu other words, Ihe sum of $5,500 is all that is asked for outside of tho regular appropri? ation. Tho necessity of asking for any aid from tho Legislature, outside of tho auuual sum duo by tho State on account of transient and County paupers, is fully ex? plained in the annual report of tho Trea? surer of the Asylum tn November last. Re? ferred. Tito petition of citizens of Darlington Couuty against thc removal of tho Court Rou.su from Darlington to Ti in monaville, was referred. Tho following preamble and resolution was submitted and agreed to: Whereas, the General Assembly has now been in session some seventy ?lays, and ns yet thc members of tho General Assembly are ignorant of tho amount of currency ne? cessary to carry on tho State government; therefore, be it Jiesolced, That tho Committee on Ways and Means be. instructed to report tho ap? propriation bill ou to-morrow.
