BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.
Mr. STANTON asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill [H. R. 340] to make appropriations for certain purposes, and upon certain conditions therein expressed.
It provides that whenever there shall be a failure to pass appropriation bills for the maintenance of the Benevolent Institutions of the State, it shall be lawful for the Governor to draw his warrants on the Treasury for that purpose-not exceeding the amount appropriated for said purposes by the last preceding session of the General Assembly.
On motion of Mr. STANTON it was -referred to the Committe on Benevolent Institutions, with instructions to report on the same to-morrow morning.
