A bill has passed the Assembly to enable the
New-York Infrmary for Women TO confer the
title of NJ. D.-with a view, of course, to en-
tending the facilities for the medical education
of women. We presume the measure would
pass the Senate, as it did the Assembly, without
opposition but it shares with many other bills
the danger of being lost through mere neglect,
and we therefore direct attention to it. Pre-
sumng that every Senator will approve gen.
orally the effort to open tho medical profession
20 women, we desire 10 say concerning this
measure especially, that DR.. Elizabeth Black
well, who is at the head Of the existing mfr
mary, is widely known in England and America
as a physician OF high attainments and skill, and
that College under her management and that
of her sister who is associated with her, will
have every claim upon the confidence and re-
spcct Of the community.

more free than the peasants Of Mecklenburg are
at present, but that as regards the police and
municipal rights, they will be even more inde-
pendent of the mobiles than the peasants OF sev-
eral Prussian provinces are where the reform ol
the communal organization has not yet been
effected. We may add to this remark OF the
Volks Zeitung that Poland and Russia will nave
hereafter an immensely larger proportion ol
freeholders than England, and much larger
number of voters at the election OF munlcipal,
district, and provincial councils.
II has by this time become certain that the
unsuccessful issue of the Polish insurrection
will have very decisive influence upon the
future relations between Russia and Poland.
As regards the Kingdom of Poland, the future
of the Polish nationality is no more threatened
now than it was before the insurrection tor
there are no Russians in Poland, and whether in
the nineteenth century it is still possible to de-
nationalize q great people and absorb it into an
other nation, is extremely doubtful. However,
the Russian Government ana the entire Russian
press dcprecate such design. All that will be
attempted on the part OF Russia Will DO 10
strengthen the ties of personal union between
the two countries, and. as this latest reform III
dcatcs, the Government will try by liberal
concessions to gain over the lower classes OF the
people.
On the other hand, the Russian Government
will make the utmost efforts to eradicate the
r a., ian0 lp pyIstgnpp OF
Polish sentiments, in those provinces which at
the time of the first partition were detached
from Poland and annexed to Russia. And IT
appears to be probable that in this they Will
succeed, and that the permanent loss Of these
provinces will be the heaviest expense the
Polish nation will have to pay for the inSurrec-
ton of 1863. The Russian Government is
taking great pains to prove, by Official puDica-
tions, to the public opinion of Europe, that in
these provinces the immense majority OF the IN
habtants are Of o non-Polsh nationality, and
that they are glad TO be emancipated from the
control of the Polish nobility. by making all
the peasants Of these provinces freeholders, and
giving them the right of suffrage and an nhu'
ence in the administration of the communities
districts, and provinces; by establishing nus
sian schools and churches, and by abollshing
the official use Of the Polish language, they Will
endeavor to attach the majority of the people
indissolubly to the Russian nation. IL The
Poles in these provinces are really 30 small
minority of the aggregate population as the
official publications of Russia represent them u
be, it would seem to be impossible for them to
prevent the speedy and thorough identification
with Russia of this part Of the former Polish
| Empire.

The albany Erening journal has iorcipl'
letter from 1T W." on the recent ntterance'
OF Messrs. Long, Harris and Fernando Wood IL
the House, wherein we find the following
"II as s.. alleged the present Administration has not

peat the conversation to him Bot the gentlemsns pro
made his bed with Vallandigham, thus depriying the
Country OF the advantages Of his high position and
himself Of u golden opportunity"
If it be not ungracious to say so, we think
those friends of the Administration who con-
niyed at or actively conspred to secure The cleo
ton of Horatio Seymour to the Goyenorship,
are quite as responsible as he for the perversion
of those " advantages Of his high position,
which the country has such reason to deplore.
We cannot realize that they in view OF his
speeches in the Tweddle Hall Convention OF
'6l, and kindred conclayes, bad any right to ex-
pect that he would act otherwise than he has
done. Had the decision rested with him, New
York would have become province Of JEFF.
Dayis's empire in preferenceto to remaining under
the Presidency of Mr.. Lincoln. There was
never pulsation Of his heart that was not in
sympathy with the Slave Power and all Its ag'
gressions and iniquites. And if President Lin
coin was induced to expect or hope any good to
the National cause from his action as Governor,
then the President was very badly informed and
worse advised. Mr.. Seymour had made bis
bed with yallandigham' long before he was
chosen Governor in 1862; and those proicssed
friends of the President who aided to achieve
that result cannot have been innocently ignorant
Of the fact.
Are we mistaken in inierring from the para
graphs of IT. W. copied above, that Mr.. Lin
coin, so late as the Winter of 1923, was IN
favor of the One-Term principle purposed not
TO be candidate for reelection, and inclined TO
the conviction that Jealous and patriotic War
Democrat ought to be elected his successor in

Gen. Grants report Of the Chattanooga cam
paign will be found in other columns. II is q
brief, clear, colorless narrative of the military
events which happened from the time Of his
taking command of the Military Division Of the
Mississippi down TO the relief Of Knoxville;
including the operations for opening communi.
cations between Bridgeport and Chattanooga,
commonly known az the battle Of Wauhatchie,
the three days battle Of Chattanooga, and the
march Of Sherman TO Knoxville. The charec-
ter of these memorable operations had previously
come to be pretty well understood, ~ well
from the reports Of subordinate Generals as from
the narratives Of army correspondents. But
Gen. Grants report is the first account given
TO the public, which is at once authentic,
authoritative, and complete and as such viii
be eagerly read
To people who have lately been reading the
Presidential campaign document called Gen.
McClellan's report, the style Of this paper may
seem very plain. Gen. Grants report is devoid
of all attempts at rhetorical ornament, is dis
tmguished throughout by perfect simplicity OF
statement, makes no attack or other command
ers nor any effort to obscure their services,
presents no labored apology in his own behalf
possibly because there was nothing which
called for apology-addresscs no admontion to
the President, nor points any insolence ot the
Secretary of War, omits all political discussion,
and in frank, soldierly way, tells the honest
truth about the events with which it deals. ID
these respects it differs from the report Of Gen
