MEDIoAL.--We have always been Of
the opinion that the country was overrun
with physicians, and have lanented the
hard fate of many graduate and student
who, with full permission and qualfica,
tions to practice; was without patients.
Professor Tucker of the Virginia Uni
versity has convinced US and many 9TH
ers,by some interesting medical statistics
that we have all been wrong in suppoSing
that the medical profession was larger
than it ought to be- The learned Doc
tor allows one physician for 500 persons
which we think is too large for single
member ofihe faculty; but upon that ba.
Sis Professor Tucker states that il would
give 26,07S as the whole number oil
medical practitioners in the United
States. He states that the annual NOR.
tally among the whites to be about
two per cent. which would carry of a.
bout 537 doctors per anpum.. The Prof
referring to the annual increase of our
population. makesit S02, 900, which he
thinks demands an increase of 1902 phy,
sicians.
He reckons two per cent. on 573 doc.
tors, who renouncs. phials and gallipats
and lake to other pursuits, and then as.
sumes that under all circumstances 2076
new practitioners will be required. while
the entire amount of graduates of the
schools is but 1900, which leaves a def.
cheney in the faculty throughout the
Union. This is quite curious and will
create some surprise among the .Savans
who always believed that the country
was thicklyrand broadly sown with ply.
sicians.

some small boats put of aud rescued the

BANK TAX LAw.-The Courier says
that the Muskingum Branch ofthe State
Bank fOhio has by an unanimous vote
resolved to come under the provisions of
the law of last @lntet which authorizes
banking capital to be placed on the du.
plicate for taxation as other property.
Several other Banks have also taken ad-
vantage of the provisions Of the law, and
we hope to see all do it, that the objec,
tion on this scnre may be removed
though we are inclined to think that the
State had the best of the bargain. Our
State debt is gradually diminishing and
when reduced to moderate sum. Banks
would ON an average pay nearly twice as
much as other property.

SELLING OUT.-The Republic con

capital hit at the determined obstinacy

The Union concludes its article with
these words, put in double caps "wE

Union may well exclaim of itself in that
language 1t will be believed. We do
not intimate that the UaiOn was sold for
a consideration in the sense Of lucre;
and we doubt if it would fetch much in
any auction. But IFS passions sell j up
on all occasions lis hatred of Presi.
dent TAYLOR sells it. When the Ad-
ministralun was in controversy with
