this Association was held last evening in the Cooper
Institute the President, Gen. Mather, in the chair
Dr. Giiscom read very lengthy report, as chairman OF
committee, upon the Health BILL lately defeated in
the Legislature, particularly commenting upon the
corrupt use of money in connection herewith the
amount of which, i: was claimed, was not less than
$50 O00-and also upon the influence of the public
journals in defeating it, particularly The TRIBUsS,
whose tenor since the article Of the 9Th OF March,
which spoke Of the adoption Of the bill as means OF
saving many lives of citizens and mu,h money, had
indicated the authorship of differeat person,
who did not know as much about what
he was saying the speaking before him. or wrote
after some other Influence than the sanitary measures
Of the bill prevailed" This last remark being con-
stiued by rome charging The TRIBUNE with bribery
and corruption, DIR. Giscom repudisted the idea. Mr.
Wetnore, however, insisted that the press had been
recrean TO its duty this question: that it was now
TO- and that it always would be 30, and desired that
this opinion shoud be made known by the reporters
they felt dsposed TO give him credit for the remark
Nothing further was done than the adoption Of the
port, upon tie question of which the whole evening
was spent.

A DISPATCH from Washington says:

A number of military men have written
to Washington as to the truth of the report
that the Juarez Government has invited vol
unteers from the United States, but there is
no official authority to sustain, nor would
they accept, without the concurrence of our
Government. The armed men and Others
who are preparing to go South, may have
other schemes in view, or be in expectation
of call for their services in Mexico AS
the protest of Mr.. Mclean against the Tacu-
baya massacre met with no response from
Miramon, so the protest of the latter against
the recognition of the Juarez Government
will receive no official notice from our own.
