The Object ef Gov. Rsmssy's Visit East.
II 10 now generally understood that the
real object Of ALEX. RAssxY's visit 10 New
York, is for the purpose Of aiding his
paper here in preventing, il possible, the
negotiation Of the Railroad Loan. II was
supposed that his position ~ the leading
candidate Of the Republican party Of Min
nesots, in the last campaign, would give
some weight to the prstence that the Repu-
dation doctrines now openly avowed by his
paper, are supported by his party. 1t is
not to be supposed that the Ex-Governor will
take any positive position upon the question
in New York, any more than here, bat in
New York, ~ here. he will find a. undant
opportunities TO instigate representations
which he dare not authorize, and abundant
tools to say what be dare not say himself
He will he in position, too, where, with
ont any apparent compromise Of his own
humorous non committalism, he can avail
himself to the fullest extent OF the ammun-
tion provided by his Minnesota organ. He
has gone on, in fact, as the newsboy Of the
Mnne'ot'dn. The leading article in the
M'nnoot'dn Of Wednesday morning-the
most Infamous ever yet published in that

We are doubtful il the proceeds Of the
adventure will reward the speculation.

On Wednesday last, the 10th, Mr.. STE
PHESs, Chairman Of the Committee on Ter.
ritories, attempted to take up for considera-
ton, the bills providing temporary govern
ments for Dakota and Arizona. The Ari.
IONA bill was laid on the table-ayes l3l,
nays 10; and the bill for the organization
OF Dakota met the same fate by 1877 yeas, to
70 nays.
This settles the fate OF those Territories
for the present Congress. The failure to
organize them was doubtless owing to the
scarcity OF money in Uncle Sans strong
box.

On the 10th, the U. s. Senate, in execu-
tive session, ratified the treaty negotiated
at Washington last winter with the Yankton
Sioux. This treaty secures the cession to
the United States Of large and valuable
tract of land, including we believe, that part
Of Dakota south Of the forty.ffth parallel
Of latitude, and lying between the Missouri
and Big Sioux rivers.
Another treaty with the Sioux, for the
purchase Of portion Of their reservation on
the Minnesota river, is still pending in the
Senate.

creased 10 100000, then will $50 miles OF
railroad uoquestionsbly prove q safe and
productive investment.
Now observe our proposition. The State
Loan requires, before the whole amount Of
bonds can issue, that $50 miles Of railroad
shall be completed with cars running
thereon" The interest Of the companies
dictate, and public sentiment will do
mand that this construction shall result in
opening q continuous road from LACrescent
and Winona 10 Owatonns-tbence on the
Minneapolis and Cedar valley road To st.
Paul and Minneapolis, with the line Of the
Southern Minnesota reaching thirty miles
southwest, and the Minnesota and Pacific,
reaching TO 81. Cloud. Such q line, TO
which the four companies will contribute
their respective shares Of cas- miles may
be accomplished by the State bonds, unless,

personal grudgs and political schemes can
be advanced by the discredit Of the State,

MEETING OF THE MEDICAL AND CHIRUR
GICAL FACULTY OF MARYLAND.


An adjourned meeting of the Medical and Chi
rurgical Faculty of Maryland held yesterday at
II o'clock. Joel Hopkins, NJ. D., presiding, and W.
C. Van Bibber, acting Secretary. The follow
ing business transacted after roll call and read
ing of the minutes
On motion of DR.. Roberts, Dr. j. F. Monmonier
requested to make statement in the case of Dr.
E. Landis charged before the Faculty with ungentle-
manly and unprofessional conduct towards Dr.. In
oes, for the benefit of those who were not present
at the former meetings.
In compliance with this request, DR.. Monmoner
stated that four five years ago DR.. Inloes was
sent for to man named Henry Crook residing
| in Hartford county, who had received a puncture
wound In one of his feet from rough nail; that the
doctor was unable to obey the summons until three
days after the accident had occcured; and that he
| treated the wound nationally and with soothing
remedies for three months, mot years;) after the
| expiration of which time, with the consent of Dr.
lnloes, he (Crook) became office patient of DR.. n
| r. Smith, under whose treatment he remained for
over two years. That some time after becoming pa
tient of DR.. Smith, it found necessary to per-
form operation in order to remove the ossa ne
crosis or dead bone which had been formed by the
accumulation of pus in the limb, and that while un-
der the treatment of DR.. Smith, Crook met in
an apothecary shop by DR.. Lands, and urged to
enter suit against DR.. Inloes for malpractice, and
that he finally prevailed upon the man to do so and
an action was brought in the Superior Court for
the recovery of $4,000 damages.
| The facts. continued DR.. Monmonier were cleaned
from the letter of Dr. Inloes, and not statements OF
| Dr. Smith and of Crook himself. As statement
of the facts the other side, DR.. Monmonier said
| that DR.. Lands had written a letter in which he
declared that in bringing an action against Dr. In
loes, he did so as lawyer, bound by his oath; that
he justified as practitioner of the law in bring
ing suit against any one-be they of the medical
faculty or not, and that in such he acted as
lawyer and not as a physician. Dr. Monmonier
further stated that the whole letter of Dr. Lands is
tinctured with personal abuse. DR.. Monmonier con
cluded his statement by informing the Faculty that
the action taken in the matter was contrary to the
wishes of DR.. Inloes, who modestly desired that nc
account should be taken of the affair." after the suit
| was withdrawn from Court.
Upon the conclusion of Dr. Monmonier's state
ment, good deal of discussion arose as to what
should be done. One gentleman thought, as Dr.
