The homeopathic physicians of this city are
again making an effort to obtain official recog-
milton in our public institutions. A year ago
their application for the use of separate chOl-
era hospital was refused by the Sanitary Com
lnittee of the Board of Health, and during the
whole period Of the epidemic no opportunity
was given Tor the proper exhibition of the re-
suits of homeopathic treatment in any of our
hospitals da1H 9io r" a9
Committees appointed by the Homeopathic
Medical Societies OF the counties OF New York,
Kings and Westchester are now preparing to
renew the application for the use of separate
hospital. They say: sall we ask is fair field
for the exhibition OF our cure, and no favor
We can only repeat our offer, already thrice
made, to take charge of hospital in any cpl
demic that may occur; said hospital to be I'M
der our own administration and management,
subject only to the supreme control of the
Board of Health, and to be open at all hours for
inspection Off records, its prescriptions, or
its patients by any persons duly appointed for
that purpose" az B .3linH5FhtlaE 20
This is a fair Offer and we trust that neither
routine nor prejudice will be permitted to stand
in the way gifts acceptance. Whether hom@-
opathy be a better system of medical prac-
tice than alopathy, or the reverse, is
question which has nothing to do with the case
SO large and respectable part ofthe commu-
nifty adopt the homeopathic system of treat
ment that they may reasonably ask the exclu-
sive use of at least one out of SO many public
hospitals which are essential in season of cpl

Legi.Intion for ,he ReneGl of RaiIroad,

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
The attention of the Legislature for the past
week has been devoted to the routine business,
and all subjects which would elicit debate have
been laid.aside.
A somewhat spicy debate occurred upon the
report of the Committee in relation to the State
assumption of town war debts The minority
report was finally adopted.
The bill authorizing cities and towns to rem
der aid to railroads within the limits of 5 per
cent of their respective valuation (Which is
known as the New Hampshire law, after be-
ing reported by the railroad committee to the
Senate and passed to be engrossed, there was
sent to the House and on its passage there to
be engrossed an attempt was made to substi-
tute another bill, which proposed a change of
the constitution, whereby several railroad
companies should receive the aid of the State
credit TO the amount of $4,000 per mile. -A
1t is curious to watch the schemes of the ELL
ropean and North American Railroad manap-
ers who have, so far, monopolized all the rail-
roa fagoc5 granted By the State of Maine
The deferred debts of the United States to
Massachusetts, and Maine, which have been
reported favorably upon in Congress to the
amount of two and one quarter millions, have
been given it, as also all of the remaining State
land, subject to the S150,OOO due to Massachus-
cts from Maine toward the purchase, and the
company now come forward and ask to be re-
heved from the payment of that debt, and
that the State should re-assume it.
Ii is reported that the lands can be disposed

A point of order was raised by Mr.. Sbenlev
that the amendment was substitution Of n
new subject, which was referred to the Speak
er for decision, and the bill meanwhile was
laid upon the table.
The City and Town bill has so far received
the most favorable consideration, as it places
