GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The Senate returned to the question pending at the noon recess.
Mr. BRISCOE, as an Indianian, looked with pride on the Institution for the Insane--ranking as it does, higher than any other Institution of the kind on this continent. He favored the increased appropriation recommended in the report of the Finance Commmittee. If this Legislature would make such appropriations as it should, many incurable insane lying in the Poor Houses of the State could find a comfortable Asylum there. If there is an institution which appeals to our humanity and liberality in all this broad land, it is this Institution in the interest of the poor unfortunates of our race. Let no retrograde movement be mades in reference to this Institution. He favored the amendment reported by the Committee, and opposed all amendments or substitutes.
