-The Joint K.lect Committee, to whom
was assigned the duty of in vestigating the
coadUion. ufj.be Institution lor the Deaf
and Dumb and ther Blind, report
That they have visited the Institution,
and r xamiiw'4 4t pff nk jBan'dUioQAs
the resuH of ..I bin examination, they have
lo state, thnt ft continues to flourish in as
great .a degree as '..At Any: period ..in hi his
tory, under the general administration of
the present Board oJ Directors, and the im
rnediate superintendence of the Principal,
who has presided over it from its found
ation. The internal management of the
establishment lconducted tviih neatness,
ordcr,and. regularity, and with evident re
gard to ihe health, comfort and improve
ment oflhe pupils. The Committee have
seen nothing that they cannot cheerfully
commend in its domestic arrangements,
nnd are pleased to bear witness to the as
pect u( cbeerfubxess.ftnd. Ij.aprjinejss exhib.
ited by both daises of those now enjoying
the benefits of instruction within its walls.
The department for the Deaf and Dumb
with two deaf mute teachers and one
speaking teacher, continues to prosper,
and by its increasing usefulness acquires
every day new claims upon the fostering
favor of the State.
, The department for the Blind, which
has been introduced since the lust meet
- ingtjf the- Legist Hterejrtut yet n- rtsr infan
cy, but has already succeeded beyond the
. most sanguine expectations, so as fully to
I prove the wisdom with which it was in
diluted. This school, like that for the
Deaf and Dumb, is under the immediate
superintendence and control of I he Prin-
cipat, and enjoys the constant instruction
of one teacher in the intellectual depart
I ment, and two in thafcot music. Thenurn
her of pupils is small as yet. hut their pro
gress in the acquisition of useful informa
tion and accomplishments, has been emi
nently, gratifying lo every friend of the
Institution who has Witnessed their exer
cises. The Committee also examined with
some degree iff minuteness into ..the. or
ganization and management of the me
chanical department. In I his department
instruction is given to the male deaf and
dumb pupils in printing, sheomaking, car
penter's work, and broom making ; the
blind are also taught the last mentioned
trade, as one of those best adapted to their
capabilities- The art of printing is re
garded by the Principal as best stilted of
ail to the peculiar wants and powers of
the deaf mutes and he has accordingly
with ibe sanction of the Boatd, provided
"v t hd roost ample mean! for its acquisition
by tnemv. The reasons assigned for this
f( cicerappear tohe- Committee to be
" conclusive in its favor. It is suited to the
tastes of this class of pupils in southern
institutions much better than any other
species or tancra1ti'"'"lrrvrdeii'"lbem
with a certain resource for future support
and it furnishes them with constant prac
tical illustrations of those nice distinctions
of language, which are theoretically
taught in the school room. The great ob-j
ject in the instruction of deaf mutes, is to
render the language of their country in-
JfJ!igib)eJ.oj.bc
cult to rind a better place for this purpose
than a good printing office." There-is no
other branch of industry accessible to them
which to such an extent could siimu
ate,enlighten, and refine the mind of the
. learner.
When the mechanical department was
' organized, it became a serious question
with the Board how to carry it on success
fully, and yet avoid those expenses to
which this department subjects all simi
lar institutions. Instead of being pecu
liarly profitable it has always proved the
f reverse, and the Board were unwilling,
.7" wkb tbeirunUed roeart to incur Ho d-
ditional expense of ail uncertain amount.
The Principal was willing lo undertake
the ne w department, either, at the cost of
the institution, or his on, with ihe privi
lege of so conducting it as to avoid all
danger of detriment to bis own interests ;
and the Board, we think, wisely adopted
the latter alternative, with the under
standing thnt tbe Principal was to be fur
nished with the necessary apparatus. It
was also understood, that be might em
ploy as many regular journeymen, as ;
might be needed. In. no, other wav could
ecuniary loss be avoided, since pupils
learning the art are so many raw hands
who contribute nothing but the inconven
ience of their presence o ibe office In
,w Whiheylbc-Tbebop ba ver-nowiylherei
beru in operation some lime, in accord
ance with ibis understanding although the
Principal has not availed himself of aN its
MdvMiilNges. lie bason the contrary, ex
pended not less than two thousand dollars
of his own funds in machinery and other
necessary instruments for this department
for the use of which he has made no charge
upon the Institution.
" "Iri View of these facts, and in consider
ation of the admirable style of work exe
cuted in the priming office especially, the
. committee are satisfied that, the present
arrangement is an economical, just and
beneficial one for all parties concerned.
While on this subject, the committee
would add that the female pupils of both
classes are carefully instructed in various
branches of industry! soiled lo iheir sex,
nnd I hat some of the work executed by
the blind, would be creditable to any in
stitution: 1 here is also reason to believe
lhat ihe fict of . manual labsjtuiion the !

ample accommodations lor tne luiure.
The two classes of deal and dumb, and
blind, obviously require distinct and sop-
pa rate dormitories j and the peculiar man
her in which tbe blind are instructed ren
ders it necessary that recitation and music
rooms should be amply provided.
The comffliiteeTTtherrforr, recommend
lbatJheseadditions be madewilhoutjle-
Jar. and a special appropriation of seven
thousand five hundred dollars be made for
that purpose, v
Owing to the inroduction of a depart
ment for the bl:nd, and the expenses inc
den' iherctOi BS well as lo the increase of
pupils in the institution, it is necessary
that the annual appropriations should be
enlarged. No application has been made
since the foundation of tbe institution, for
an increase of tbe annual appropriation
and unless this be done at the present ses
sion, it is evident, that the interests of the
institution must seriously suffer, and its
progress in usefulness he arrested, i he
committee therefore recommend that the
Tinrrual appropriation be increased to eight
thousand dollars
. At the session of the Legislature of '48-
'40, an act was passed, requiring every
county in the State to pay the sum of Seventy-five
dollars annually, for the term
of louryears, for each deaf mute.sent from
said county. Four yeaVs having elapsed
since the passage of this aet.il is ne,cessary
that this act be so amended as to include
the who! term of instruction, (seven
j ears;) also lo include the blind in the
same provision.
A drparlment for the blind having been
established, it is proper that the corporate,
title oflhe institution be changed accor
dingly. For the accomplishment of -this object,
the committee, respectfully submit the ac
companying bill.

REVIEW OF THE LATE SESSION.
The Second act in the dramaj played by the
locolocos, at the lale session, alter foisting Shaw

ol the people ol uumaen ana iurniucK, anu in

Time has fully proven, lhal our predictions,
in rrsard lo free. auffraffe. were founded in

ibis cry about (ree. suffrage was all a sham
based upon the supposed gullibility ol the peo

tion of a locofoco Governor, thai party would
prove traitorous lo their promises. We warn
ed Ibe people to beware of these wolves in

plunder not bine could sa'iale. We repeatedly

keep it an ppen; question a tte paf.'y :markeui
lor ibe purpose of deception and fraud.
Although the Whigs bod a majority in the
Commons, jet free-suffrage patted ibal body.
Many Whigs in that House, who looked upon
tbe whole movement at a piece of party trick
ery, and who were opposed, in principle, to
changing the Constitution by legialaiive enact'
ment, yet, for the sake of peace and quiet, for
ibe purpose of being rid of ibis distracting ele.
ment of mischief, voted lor free-suffrage ; and"
thus Ibe measure passed I hat. House by ihe re
quisite constitutional majority. The Whigs
rould jjfasfly he defeated il $ but of pure
regard to the public interest, which was suffer
ing from the continued agitation of this ques
tion, ibey permitted il lo past. Well, one
would have supposed, after easily passing
through a Whig House of Commons, free tuf
frage would have found no difficulty in gelling
i h rough a locofoco Sena'o, with a train band
majoiiiy pt six, who were ever "instant, in tea-,
son and out ol season," lo do ihe work of par
ty. Bui not.io. They seern lo have manoeu
vred Iron the very Aral, to prevent giving lo
ihe people ..whauhey : had long been represettU-
ine lo them as sucbm preciou boon.-- At ihe--;
fiislof the session, Ibey elecled.as Speaker, Mr.
Edwards, of Warren, with hit very decided
ojipoiiiion lo free tgfftnge well known iq.ji.IJ ol
lhem. They had a decided tnajoriiy they
could have elected, at Speaker, iree.sufl'rage'
tmani TTf ibey desired it ; but no, they pass by
all iheir other men, wbo bad been clamoring
about free suffrage fop yeais, and put in this
high and retouiiille position a gentleman who
was known lo be bitterly hostile to that mea
sure. And by and bye, w he ii t he vote comes
on. free sofTinge is killed, by ibe casting vole
of Mr. Speaker Edwards.
We have no doubt but ihe locofocot in the
Legislature wcie much more delighted at this
retull than any Whigs were. Tbe locos, no
'doublllidught-If ftev- suffrage passed, lhaLlheir
great gun would be spiked lhal their parly
