The Association of Medical Superintendent o

convened in this city on Tuesday last In the
absence of DR.. Luther " Bell, of Massachusetts,
President, DR.. Franci. T. Striblng, of Virginia
was called to the Chair. A very large majority
of:the Asylums are represented, and that, too, by

ment. and energy of character, reflect credit upon
the institutions whence they came and the hon
orable profession TO which they belong.
During the meetings, papers have been read and
their contents ably discussed, upon various topics
of Importance, and amongst others the following
|. OF the i'll effects of over taxing the mental
powers 9. The Importance of establishing a
board Of medical experts, in each State, In refer
ence to The examination of the plea ofinsanity in
criminal cases. 8. On an undescribed form Of
central disease. 4. The importance of night
watch in hospitals for the insane. s. On the ne

fuse to eat 6. valuable series of rules, for the
Organization of lunatic hospitals, has been alter
much discussion, unanimously adopted.
This Association was formed about eight years
since at the instance of the late DR.. Woodward
of Massachusetts, and Dr. Stribling, who were
promptly and efficiently aided by Drs. Bell, Kirk

suits, system of regulations was few years
since established in reference to the location and
construction of hospitals for the insane-and it is

speaks well for the wisdom and prudence of ex'

Florida Indians but the wing administration has done
nothing toward their removal TO the west General
Tay lor adopted mistaken policy. and Mr. Fillmore has
improved uponit We understand that large amount
OF money has been paid out, and not than dozen
Indians carried west Had the State authorities OF Florida
been permitted take the matter in hand three years
ago, instead OF attempting the ridiculous project OF an
Indian embassy the Seminoles might have been forced
to emgrac But the federal government would not per-
init State volunteers act against the Indians, prefer
ring 10 rely moral suason and the seductions OF
contractor paid largely in advance. The result is
that worse than nothing has been accomplished; for
additional embarrassmen,s have been thrown around
difficult operation. Mr.. Fillmore has confessed his
inability 10 deal with the Scminoles, and he has re-
tired from the contest after turning the matter over to
Congress Nearly four years have been wasted Had
the wing dynasty been equal to its position, the cost
which the removal OF the Seminoes may entail on the
treasury would not have fallen on the incoming admin
israiion-a fact which should be remembered when
the wing party shall be heard clarnoring because
OF an expenditure which its own nfdelity incompe-
tency makes necessary. The Baltimore American, a
