Stampede of Medical students.

RANbAoNOy NAss DCCs &&s
The Medical Studente from Phiiadelphia
arrived here to day and were received by the
Faculty and Students OF the Medical College,
the Governors Guard and an immense throng
of citizens. The procession marched to the
Governors mansion, where the Students
were addressed by Gov. Wise, and after
wards by Prof. Gibson at the College. A
dinner was then partaken Of at the Columbia
Hotel. The students were received with
great enthusiasm by the citizens, and Is the
procession passed through the streets the
shouts of the men were deafening, while the
ladies manifested their delighsby the waving
of their handk erchiefs.
NEw ORLEANS, Dec. 22.-The New Or
leans Medical Faculty reply to the applica-
ton of Southern Medical Students at New
York that they would be admitted here on
nominal terms. The students here have re-
solved TO invite Southern students at the
Northern College to free lectures here al
though paid for there.

We have read the decision OF the Supreme
Court in the case OF the subscription of Scott
county to the Cedar Valley Railroad, with
some care. The precise positions OF the
Judges can be summarily stated. Wright
denies that the Consultation (old or new)
confers upon the countiess thu power Of
making corporate subscriptions to railroads.
He denies that majority Of the people 10
the counties have the inherent right to vote
tax 50 as to suhjecs the property Of the mi
nority to seizure and sale for the purpose OF
paying the same. He denies that the Legis-
lature has ever conferred that power upon
the countless And be denies, further, the
validity Of county bonds, issuei in payment
Of railroad subscriptions, whether they are
held by the railroad company or by an en-
dorsee. Woodward seems TO think that il
1t vas new question, the existence OF
the power would have to be denied but hs
feels bound by prvious decisions, which i'm
ply the existence OF the power. Stockton
concurs with Wright in the decision OF ths
asnd, the ground that objection
bad been made before the stock had beer
subscribed or the bonds issued.

There is m linking Of a design on part Of
the Democracy at Warrington to keep Kan
sas cut Of the Union, on the plea that the

ton do not include the Pixies Peak region.
The slavery propaRandists are afraid Of an
Other new Free State coming In il the terri
tory 10 no. comprised within the limits Of
Kansas. The leaving out OF the Pixies Peak
region was proper. The people Of that re-
aion are separated by wide reach Of unin-
habised country from the people Of Kansas,
and they ought, as they desire, to be permit
ted TO govern themselves. II was both mag
unanimous and just on part Of the Kansas
people to leave them outside Of their bound
airy line, 10 the formation OF their State Gov
ornament. Let the Democracy exclude Kan
sas, on such grounds, il they dare. They
have the power, in the Senate; and they may

have teen excessive, especially when the pre-

is or the most delicate and costly kind. Ro-

Ii will have been observed that large vote
was given for Gilmer, and presumed that
some Republicans voted for him. Such was
the case. The following, from the Wash
ington correspondence of the Chicago 7rib-
,.ns, would appear to be an explanation of
the matter, though we think the arrangement.
was an unnecessary and imprudent one.
told you in my Last letter that number
OF Republicans intended to give Gilmer the
American candidate complimentary vote
accordingly thirteen Republicans OF Penn
sylvana and New JERSEY voted for him to
day, raising his vote to SO, and placing it in
the power of this Democrats to elect him, and
organize the House. But they declined to
do it. Thereupon Mr.. Gilmer got up and
after thsnking gentlemen for their fattering
compliment, withdrew bis namo from before
the House for Speaker. The effect of this
ballot will he TO enable the Americans TO say
to the people OF the South that it was entirely
in the power Of the Democrats to have elect
ed Southern man and a slaveholder, over
Black Republican, like Sherman. And it
also enables them to repel the charge that the
Republicans are SO sectional that none Of
them would vote, under any circumstances,
for Southern man. But that gun 10 now
spiked. The Americans are preparing to
take bold ISSUE with the Disunion Democrats,
and make their appeal to the Southern PEG
pie.
