and Indifference on the part of many
Protestants have furaishcd n main

This declaration was read a second
time at the public market place, and
still greaber solennity was impaired
to the proceedings by the vast assem-

than 500 persons sat down to a sump.

which many toasts we're proposed. -
The prevailing sentiment was that of
German unity and nationality, and
such was the enthusiasm on the occa-

The Oolorod Doctors in WASHINGTON,

The rejection of he applications of
the colorcd Doctors Purvis and Au-
gusta for mcmbcrshipyin the Medical
Society Of The District of Columbia is
exciting considerable comment. The
Washington Star, it explaining tho
case says:
The question was simply that of ad.
mitting them to social fellowship. -
The Board of Examiners of the So.
ciety granted license to Drs. Pursis
and Augusta to practice as soon as
they made application, and it is claim
cd teat this is tho first instance in tho
country where any medical society
has given colorcd practitioners any
status. The Society did not quite
come up to the mark Of receiving the
colorcd doctors into social affiliation,
but they have shown themselves quite
as exclusive in regard to numerous
which applicants in tho past. The
colored practitioners will, as they be-
come better known, BE- able to dispel
every prejudice to their social disad-
vantage. The Medical Society Of
this District was formed with view
to prescribing a test OF qualifications
for practitioners in order to shut off
quackery. The Board of Examiners
of the society arc authorized to H.
censc applicants to practice who are
able to show themselves propcs3y
qualified, and by the sharter of the
society every person Hho undertakes
to p.&otioo wItnout sT6h hurnsc is
liable to a finc of $50 in each case.
1t is not requisite that the applicant
shall be of any particnlar school of
medicine, but he must show know
lodge Of medicine and the qualiGca-
tions for practice. Drs. Augusta and
Purvis have received their licenses
from the Medical Society here, as
above stated, and have all the legal
rights of any practitioners in the Dis
trict. =.
There is some talk among the cx-
tremists of carrying the matter to
Congress and making an effort to de-
prive the society Of its charter.
