lyorUEe SyUB FOR WOMEN.

At the last annual meeting of the American
Institute of Homeopathy Mrs. Mercy b. jack
son. NJ. d.. made application to be admitted
member of that body This application from
person well known, professionally, to all the
leading men of the body, and held In great
respect by them, n respect fully earned by her
attainments, her skill, and her personal charac-
ter, proved irebrand thrown into the assem-
bly,, which thus far had been of the most
peaceful and orderly character. The excellent
Mrs. jackson, after having been tossed TO ana
fro for some time, like shuttle-cock between
the contending parties, was at iength s'ineieu
20 roll 70 one side in peace, and the discussion
was continued on the general question of the
admssbility of women to membership, until
the ballot put an end to the acrimony and the
personalities and vote of 6S to 90 decided the
question in favor of illiberalism and exclusion
When we consider the character of the men
who are at the head of this body, not merely
officially, but by their social and professional
positions, we are at a loss to understand how
such blunder could have been permitted
Among these men are to be found some OF the
best intellects in the country. Any cause that
can boast such names as those OF Durham
Bayard, Allen, Wesselhoeft, Helmuth, Wels,
and others, is responsible to the community, by
the very character of its chiefs, for any action
that contradicts even in seeming the progressive
and liberal tendencies which it represents. We
say. "even in seeming" for we gather that the
Institute is by no means committed be-
yond recall to this reactionary course.
The fullest reports of the meeting lead us 10
hope that the vote was carried against women
and against common sense by those in the as
sembly who least represent the youth and the
culture of the great body of Homeopathic prac-
titoners, and that there is no disposition to rest
contented with that decision. 1t must not be
overlooked, in passing judgment on this matter,
that many of those who voted against the ad-
mission of women did so, not out of hostility
TO their admission, as principle, but, avowedy,
because they are dissatisfied with the attain
ments and ability of the greater number OF women
who are at present practicing medicine among
ia, and desire to see them better fitted Tor the
profession before they claim advantages ana
privileges that depend upon such fitness ms
would be all very well if measures were beng
taken by the Homeopathsts to give women
the same opportunities for study, ana the same
means of fitting themselves for the medical
profession, that they give to young men. But,
so far as we have any means of knowing, the
Homeopathists are doing just as little toward
this important end Us the old school. And,

but we cannot help feeling that the Secretary
head is enslaved by his affectionate heart and
that he loves Mr.. Johnson not wisely but too
WELL
We cannot say, however, that we accept Mr..
Stewards idea when he declares that we must
"acquiesce" in all the President has done or
may do. Does he mean to assert that we
must quietly submit to whatever the President
may think, or do. or say9 "Why nOtW he
argues " did you not elect him to his Office y
No: In the first place, we did not elect him
to the office and, in the second place, If we
had done so, there was no agreement, express
or implied, "tO sustain" him in wrong-doing,
or with united and loyal voices to pronounce
his folly the hight of political wisdom.
This doctrine of "acquiescence," II fully
carried into practice, might tempt
President to follow many dubious and
devious paths, leading either to his own de-
struction or that OIL the Republic. He expects
to be praised if he does right why should he
not expect to be censured if he does wrong 7
In order that We may turn him out handsome
ly at the end of his term, we must have de-
bate, discussion, structures, arguments, exami-
tons, refutatiOns, exposures, and rebukes, until
the people, thoroughly cOmprehending his un-
fitness for his place, not only are prepared to
push him from his stool, but are sure to give
it to somebody who will probably prove wiser
and more Trustworthy This is the natural
working of democracy Those who are doomed
to be dislodged may not like it, but the Gov

cor WELLS TAKES COMMAND.

We have a good illustration of the virtue OF
Reconstruction bill interpreted by MIR. Stan
berry in the latest news from New-Orleans.
Under the provisions of that opinion, and the
probabIe protection of the President, Gov. D..
Madison Wells the deposcd magistrate, is about
10 issue proclamation, and take command Oh
Louisiana. He has carefully considered stan
bery's reasoning, and sees clearly that Flanders
is usurper Wells has, no doubt, perfect
right to make this point, and to write as many
procamations as he pleases. wells prociamihg
Sheridan is an impressive sight. but, ACCORDING
TO Presidential reasoning, why should Wells
not take command and manage Reconstruction
i'm his own way2 1t is easy enough TO open
the door, but when is 1t to be cl0sedf III
Sheridan cannot interfere with Nells, thcn
Wells NAV interfere with Sheridan. Louisiana
is n conquered State. 1t is held by the mill
tary power of the United States Sheridan Is
supposed to have command, rs an officer or
orr army. Yet we have another power.
If Wells is power, so is Sheridan.
Where are the limitations Where are the
lines to be DRAWN Mr. Stanbery regards
Wells as chief magistrate, and Sheridan rs
policeman. Wells thinks so too, no doubt.
with SHERIDAN 10 pIOlcCJ MN, H' N""'" '"NN
a very vigorous Governor We know they are
at variance. Sheridan thinks that Wells IS
coward and hypocrite Wells regards Sheri-
dan as tyrant. Yet they are to be IN JOINT
command. We at once have what Mr.. Seward
would call Gan irepressible conflict" with
Louisiana possibly reconstructed by the gracious
permission of this rccalcitrant Governor
See what complications will come from the
Presidents new position. He has only to
recognize Wells, to nullify Sheridan, to
consider Flanders as a usurper, and have
the General Commanding as helpless as Meade
in Philadelphia. The resources OF the state Its
money, and patronage pass into his hands TO be
used as he pleases, and not rs the General may
please. If this is permitted in Louisiana, why
not in Georgia and Virginia, and Tcxasf
What necessity to go 10 the Supreme Court
for iniunctions when the power to enjoin Is
in the hands of every Rebel Governor. THIS
new move of Wells only makes il necessary Tor
Congress to strengthen the Reconstruction bill
so that even Stanbery may not drive his legal
knife through it. With Rebel Governors
strong enough TO take command like that
which Wells proposes 10 assume in Louisiana
the Military bill becomes a. useless rs the
alien and sedtiOn act.
