noon were not correct, and hoped that his motion
of the morning would be inserted. and that his
name would appear as chairman of the Subcuta-

original resolution.

the votes adopting the minutes of the meeting Of
1859, be re-considered, and that the names of the
committee referred 10, be read.

same subject, which was ruled out of order.

had been an error in the minutes, that they should
be corrected.'
DR.. LANCER called for the original resolution as
passed by the last annual meeting.
The Secretary said he had not the resolution,
and had told DR.. LANCER again and again. He
thought that it was grave charge to make
against any one that he should leave out inten-
tionaly any resolution Of that kind.
DR.. LANCER thought that not having the origi-
nal minutes before US, he was prepared to prove
that two resolutions before US were not the same
those passed.
DIR. Baker, the former Secretary, asked If DR..
LANCER had the original resolutions.
DIR. LANCER said he was not an officer, and Of
course he could not be expected to have the orig
inal resolutions, but he had copies, as he voted
aga INST one Of them. If the Secretary would say
that he had recorded the resolutions verbatim, he
would withdraw his motion.
The Secretary said he had no doubt that the
ID
| ones offered.
The motion to reconsider was then carried.

the committee, but before doing 50, he said that
in transferring the minutes mistake had oc-
currcd-Dr. Cochran now appeared rs chairman Of
the committee, whereas he was satisfied from the
original papers that DR.. LANCER had been ap-
pointed the chairman Of that committee.
