It is not disputed that, the General Assembly may adjourn to a future speci fied uttv, instead of sine die, but it is not conceded that this enables it to silence the, on tilution.aud by artifice renaer nugator ry its pro vis ons. It ;s true that you did at your last session pass a resolution to meet auain on the third Momay in November, 1S73, thereby conceal ng thit without the enabling aid of tuch a resolution, or enact ment, von could not meet on that day if the amendment provldinc tor biennial session should be adopted ; '1 here was no necessity ior the resolution, because tne const 1 1 u r ioii, as it t hen stood, aud a It now stands, made it imperative nKn yon to convent- at thai time, and you could not disregard it.

Its advauta es are evident, and it will save the Capital of the States from an increased vicious and undesirable population. , - The annual report of the President of the Board of Directors, accompanied by the reports of the officers of this Institution, is herewith transmit ted to you. It affords me pleasure to be officially informed of the highly prosperous condition oi this noble charity, and to be assured of its able and successful management. ' When all seem to have performed their duties so well, it might be deemed invidious to discriminate among them by awarding praise to oao, when it is equally due to all. 1 It is enough to say, that the Institution was never in a more prosperous condition, or its affairs more abiy managed. The only draw-back to its complete success, is a want of sufficient room to accommodate and take care of ail the insane who are entitled to its benefactions, I therefore reite rate the recommendations, contained in my for mer message, urging the General Assembly to provide more accommjdations by enlarg ng the present building, or erecting a branch Asylum at some point in the Western part of the State. AND DUMB AKD THE IX8TITVTIOX FOB XHE DEAF BLIND. The reports of the officers of this Institution show that it has been highly prosperous during the past session, and that its usefulness increases every year. The hnportauce of siibtaining this charity can not be ovei -estimated. It is far better to educa te our deaf, mute and blind population, and make them useful members of society, than have them to grow up in ignorance aud vice, Hiid become burdens to their friends and the 2ublic. The management of the InMt.tution ha b eti hilyat-aiaetory. I feel couhdeut that it iiaa beei joiidu'cted will as much ecouomy and guod judgment, as any si-mlar establishment iu las whole country.

' A.; C. Ryan. , For over a year past he had made Washington his head quarters, and could De seen almost any day after 11 o'clock in the morn ing at, or in the vicinity of, the Metro politan Hotel. His peculiar attire never failed to attract the attention of passers by, and strangers invariably inquired, "What man belonged to that big hat and stick," referring to the tall slouch hat with a' wide rim, rakishly turned down on one side, whiph he wore, and a small-sized sapling of Cuban growth, which he carried. Another peculiarity oi the General's get up and surroundings was the presence of , ' , A MONSTER SPOTTED llJiOOpiIOUND, which generally accompatticd him in is promenades on the u venue. Ho was very fond of the huL-e-!mii, and a few weeks ago inserte ' un adver tisement in the Star, 'sty ting -that some one had stolen him, and offer ing $50 reward lor his rein rn.
