terislattve Committee
on Condition of lunatic Asylum.
To the President of the Senate and Speak-
er of the House of Representatives:
The Joint Committee of the Senate and
House beg leave to repoi t, that they made
thmr annual visit of inspection to the Lu
natic Asylum of this State, during the
past week, and are gratified to note the
marked improvement in the general man
agement of the institution. Not to be
mmute in detail, they would nevertheless
give their warmest commendation of the
system of government adopted and en
forced by the present able and efficient
Board of Trustees.
On every hand the evidences of good
order, <*onomy and fidelity to trusts re
posed, is manifest in all the various de
partments of the institution. But, whilst
much has been done, we note with pleas
ure the disposition of the present incum
bents to still, further economize theme°ns
and advance the interests of ihe institu
tion, by well-digested plans of future re
form, which the brevity of this report will
not permit of our giving iu detail; but
we would especially commend the Stew
ard s department in its various features
ofgardening, purchasing supplies at cheap
rates, the establishing of an abundant
self-sustaining daily, and the raising of
at least fifty head of pork hogs, with
scarcely any expense to the institution,
all of which ls attributed iu no slight de
gree to the fidelity, zeal and practical en-
®Tgy of the honest, capable and efficient
Steward Mr. E. D. Brown, aided and sus
tained by his faithful assistant, Mr. John
A. Orme.
The medical department, too—so all
important in such an institution—has re
ceived onr careful attention ; and we can
not forbear, in this brief report, to add
our meed of praise to that so often be
stowed, in past years, on the honored and
faithful public servant. Dr. Thomas F.
Green, the worthy and efficient superin
tendent, who, with a master’s hand, has
guided the destiny of the institution from
the cradle of its infancy to its riper age,
and made it the home and refuge of the
unfortunate and afflicted of our State.—
Truly, it is the proudest monument of
worth that he can leave behind him.
In this connexion, we beg leave to men
tion, in terms of commendation, also, the
very efficient corps of assistant physicians,
consisting of Drs. T.|0. Powell and T. H.
Kenan, together with the apothecary, Dr.
Wm. Cotting. The duties of these gentle
men are arduous and severe, and in con
sideration of the skill, patience and fidel
ity with which they have discharged the
same, we respectfully recommend :
That the Trustees increase the salary
of the First Assistant to $2,000, Second
Assistantto $2,000. Apothecary to $1,000,
Assistant Steward to #1.000. and Secretary
to $1,000.
These salaries we think reasonable, and
none too large for the services rendered,
and that a contingent fund of ten thous
and dollars be allowed said Trustees of
the Lunatic Asylum, to repair the rotten
floors, and other necessary repairs, in and
about said Asylum, now urgently demand
ed; and that the female attendants in
charge of wards be paid three hundred
dollars per year each, for then- services,
and one hundred and five thousand dol
lars for the support of the institution for
the year 1874.
In conclusion, we regret to say, that
within the past five months the institu
tion has been visited by that terrible
scourge, the small pox—sixteen cases
having appeared, out of which number,
six died.
The origin of the first case is unknown,
but the reasonable supposition is, that the
disease was communicated to the inmates
through the clothing of a
servant to the institution

Whiskey.—Whether the praying war
fare of the Western women results in
good or not, their example will never be
followed by the women of the South,
though we doubt not prayers in secret
an constantly ascending from Southern
homes for loved ones who have fallen
victims to an appetite for whiskey; and
there is cause enough, for whiskey is at
the bottom of nearly all the suicides,
murders and affrays, to say nothing of
cruelties, suffering and squanderings nev
er made public. But we do not reoom
mend prayer-meetings at groceries, nor
even more legislation on the subject, but
we do thfok it would be wholesome for
tlw people of the whole State if an exist •
ing kw was enforced, viz; the law for
bidding whiskey dealers to furnish liquor
to an antoxicated man. The drinking

negro patient,
Be this as it
may, we take pleasure in exhonor&ting all
of toe officers concerned of any negligence
in the matter ; and to quiet the fears of
the public, we state that all apprehensions
of a further spread of the disease are
groundless, as no new case has occurred
within the last forty days, and those at
tacked, with the exception of the six de
ceased, have either entirely recovered or
now in an advanced stage of convales
cence. And whilst upon this subject, it
may not be amiss for us to say that the
cemetery, of the condition of which we
had occasion to complain last year, has
been neatly inclosed with a plain, substan
tial plank fence, and otherwise mneh im
proved in appearance. And now, in final
conclusion, we beg leave to say that we
eaw much to commend, and little or noth
ing to condemn.
On the whole we consider the outlook
of the institution more hopeful than for
years past.
Respectfully submitted.

The EastMB Atlanta Business
College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled iu the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 9th, 1871, with four students, it
has already sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderful success is, 1st it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps up, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had years of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. The
total cost for a full course, including
board, washing,tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceed $130. For specimens

Legislature is wearisome beyond expres
sion, and expensive as Jim Fisk’s courte
sies. The State wants more legislators
and fewer representatives. The twaddle
is awful.
But here goes for the proceedings. Ev
ery one of the little bills offered repre
sent to the State so many dollars a word.
The body ought to adjourn. That is the
best way to advance the interests of the
State. Legislators, dear Legislators,
come home!
NEW CAPITOL BUSINESS.
Atlanta City Council hr.s offered City-
Hall Square for the erection of a new
Capitol. • This is very clever, but a thin
dodge. Atlanta agreed to furnish a Cap
itol if the Legislature would go there.
The body accepted, and Hi KimbaU’srattle
trap of an Opera House was furnished.
Now Atlanta wants the State to erect a
marble building costing a million or more,
all for the benefit of Atlanta mechanics
and artisans. The State can’t see it We
always feel sure of a short session when
the Legislature meets in Hi’s Opera
House. This body is afraid it would fall.
Judging by the general legislation, a fall
would not hurt much.
80~ Don’t forget to pay for your paper.
A Chicago paper says “the little State of
Delaware has the honor of growing about
all the peanuts that are grown in the
United States;’’ to which the Courier-
Journal replies: “if all the peanuts Geor
gia produces in a single year were poured
into Delaware, they would blot out the
State as effectually as Pompeii was blot
ted out by the ashes of Vesuvius.’’

PRATT’S ASTRAL OIL
Absolutely safe. Perfectly odorless. Always uni
form. Illuminating qualities superior to gas. Burns
in any lamp without danger of exploding or taking
fire. Manufactured expressly to displace the use of
volatile and dangerous oils. Its safety uncer every,
possible teat, and its perfect burning qualities, are
proved by its continued use in over 300,1)00 families.
Millions of gallons have been sold and no accident
—directly or indirectly—has ever occnred from
burning, storing oi handling it.
The immense yearly loss to life and property, result
ing from the use of cheap and dangerous oils in the
United States, is appalling.
The Insurance Companies and Fire Commissioners
throughout the country recommend the ASTRAL as
the best safeguard when lamps aie used. Send for
circular.
