THE SOLDIERS' HOME.
Mr. STANTON (obtaining leave) submitted the following:
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring therein), That a Joint Committee of five, consisting of three on the part of the House and two on the part of the Senate, be appointed to visit the National Asylum at Dayton, Ohio, with a view to the transfer of the inmates of the Soldiers' Home to that institution.
Mr. Stanton caused the letter addressed to him by the Secretary of the National Asylum at Dayton (printed in the Senate ' proceedings of this day) to be read in this matter, stating that this action was to result in the soldiers being better cared for by the National Government; whilst it would admit of the State's appropriating the Home building as an Orphan Asylum.
The resolution was adopted.
