recent vigorous action of the President, il
is now reported as comprising an import
ant scheme in compromising the aspira-
| tions Of the various candidates for Presi-
dent Ex-Secretary STANTON, as the first
martyr to the cause of Congress, bases his
claims upon the party on high grounds,
which many think cannot and should not
special favorite as Presidential candidate,
as his name will not bring that enthusiasm
| which is desired.
We learn from Washington letters that
| the Radicals propose to obviate this diff
| Guilty by making STANTON President pro
| tenpore and in this manner: Senator CAM
ERoN of Pennsylvania is to resign in order
that Gov. GEART may appoint STANTON to fill
the vacancy .Lr. WADE then resigning his
position as President of the Senate, STAN
parchment and removal of President JOHN
SON then makes STANTON President of the
United States pro ten,pore, when WADE and
CAMERON can step back into their respec-
tive places.
This scheme is said to meet the approval
of Mr.. STANTON, and will satisfy his aspi-
rations and cancel the debt due him by the
party. It also has the endorsement of
Chief Justice CHASE, if, indeed the ar
rangement is not desired in his interest.
1t not only does away with one formidable
rival, but converts him into a supporter
and from their direct alliance with the
contemplated movement, both Senators
WADE and CAMERON would array themselves
as the friends of Judge CHASE.
This is indeed q nice scheme and looks
we'll on paper, and may be carried forward
to completion if no untoward accident pre-
vents. Between this and the assembling
of Congress, the great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, with others almost
as important, are to be heard from through
the ballot-box, and their endorsement,
strong and decided as at the last elections
must be obtained before the leaders will
embark in such doubtful and hazardous
undertaking. In fact, the result of all
pending political movements, North and
South, will greatly turn upon the result
of the October and November elections.
While we hope that the signs which in
dictate q reaction in political sentiment in
the North are correct, we have learned
not to be disappointed at any result. We
have long wondered that such large ma
jority of the Northern people could be de-
ceived into such dangerous and radical
measures against their white fellow-citizens
of the South; yet, when we have witnessed
that the political persecution was not only
continued at each successive election, but
increased, we have concluded only to ex-
pect the reaction when the country is
again blessed bya Government admins
tered under the laws and Constitution.
University of Maryland Medical School.
We have received the sixteenth annual
circular of the University of Maryland
School Of Medicine, and we especially in
vite the attention of physicians and medi-
cal students to the advertisement of the
same, which appears in our columns to-
day. Although we earnestly and heartily
the school on previous oc-
casion, we feel constrained to commend its
claims again.
We venture to assert that no Medical
College, North or South, will be able to
offer greater facilities for the acquisition of
that nowledge-theoretical and practi-
is essential to complete medi- |
cal education.
The several chairs are filled by men of
large experience and the highest attain
ments, who are aided by adjuncts of the
highest qualifications for their positions /;
and the zeal manifested in its continual |
aud usefulness up to the |
highest standard of excellence, gratifies the |
belief that it will soon attain the position |
of the most popular and successful medical
school in the country.
The Faculty is composed of men too we'll |
known to require eulogy from us; but we take
pleasure in referring to Professor SMITH,
whose long and successful career has gained
for him the distinction of being the Nestor
of American Surgery. We see that he has
visited the hospitals of Europe the past |
summer, where he was fatteringly received,
both in England and France.
Sir James Paget, in referring to him, has
declared that his Anterior Splint has crea-
ted new era in fractural Surgery.
The Chair on diseases of women and |
children has been recently filled by the APP
pointment of DR.. WILLIAM T. HOWARD, of |
This Stata The neritad distinction which
The Doctor acquired in this State, his great
assiduity and superior judgment in the
practice of medicine, especially in the dis
Eases that will be taught from his Chair,
gives assurance of course of lectures that
will be Us attractive as complete.
The opportunities for Clinical instr uction
ire ample, and students from this and other
Southern States who may avail themselves
If the advantages offered, will never have
'ause, we are sure, to regret their connec-
ion with the University of the MARYLAND
