Railroad, between Diamond and Susquehsnna
streets, has been purchased and is being
fitted up as a coal depot. The Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company is one of the best
managed corporations in the State, and its
energy and enterprise in developing our in
ternal resources have always met with COR
dial recognition by the people of Pennsyl-
vania. The report is one of great interest,
and we commend it to the consideration of
our readers as containing much valuable in

THE LEHIGH COAL AND M VIGA-
TION COMPANY.

THE annual report of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, which we publish in
another column, makes a most satisfac-
tory exhibit of the operations during
the year 1869. The business of the
company was greatly impeded
not be foreseen, such as strikes by the miners,
breaks in the canal, destruction of buildings
by fire and other mishaps, but, in spite of all
drawbacks, the net profits of the company
swell up to the imposing figure of $751;
7O1 '54 On the railroad tonnage there was
an increase of $3.50, ,292O1, and on the
canal tonnage a decrease of 1854, S03 90,
making the net increase SAG, 1872. Owing
to a variety of causes the importance
Of the canal as a means of transportation is
diminishing, while that of the railroad is
increasing to an even greater extent than was
anticipated. The canal, however, will always
remain as a very valuable auxiliary, and it
will be maintained as such no matter how
much the railroad facilities may be extended.
During the year the company's mining
and railroad operations were largely
increased, and some valuable con-
nections were made which will greatly
facilitate the transaction of business, and aid
in bringing the coal and iron to market In
this city there is considerable demand for
ihe company's coal for family use, and in
order to accommodate purchasers it has been

THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL
DTCTRTTT
THE

A LARGE meeting of the Republican voters
of the Tenth ward was held last evening, at
which the policy of nominating a new Con-
gressional candidate in the Second district
was strongly advocated. This district COM
prises the heart of the old city of Philadel-
phia, and it is one of the wealthiest and most
intelligent in the whole Union. As it con-
tains hundreds of Republicans who are inf
nitely superior, in intellectual endowments
to The average Congressional standard, and as
its extensive and varied interests imperatively
require first-class ability to secure proper
degree of consideration at Washington, its
citizens have q right to expect and de-
mand that pre-eminent talent will bo
pressed into their service. No portion of
the country can SO lily afford to be repre-
sented by mediocre nonentity. The heart of
Philadelphia should always have on the floor
of Congress man who can talk and act as
well as vote for her in a worthy and forcible
manner. In former times, when Horace
Binney or John Sergeant were chosen to re-
present this city, her voice always secured a
respectful hearing, if not a potential infu-
ence. Communities gain weight in all politi-
cal bodies rather by the character of the men
who are chosen to act as their repre-
sentatives than by their in
trinsic importance, and the rudest
wildcat district which sends a full-grown
man to the Capitol will command more atten-
tion than whole constituency of merchant
princes and learned savans which permits
itself to be represented by inferior talent.
Applying these well-known principles to the
question at issue, it is right for the people to
inquire whether Hon. Charles ONeill is the
best man that the Republicans of Philadel-
phia can find to represent them. One of the
speakers at the meeting last night contended
that he was neither first-rate lawyer nor a
first-rate business man, and the people can
Judge whether these allegations are true.
The resolutions adopted last evening took
the ground that at the present time,
in view of the persistent assaults
which are being made upon the protective
system, and the agitation of financial ques-
tions of vital moment, it is specially import
ant that our best and strongest men should
be sent to Congress; and there is great force
and wisdom in these suggestions. Whatever
may be the cause, it is matter of regret that
not single one of the members that the
Republicans of Philadelphia have been re-
elect ing for term after term is now at the
head Of Congressional committee, and with
single exception not one of these members
has gained national reputation. In these
times Philadelphia needs something more
than mere fidelity, or the bare ability to vote
right, which thousands of constituents pos
sess in common with their congressman, and
no personal considerations or paltry cleo
tioneering devices should be allowed to pre-
vent the people from securing talented and
influential Representatives

THE PENNSYL VANIA HOSPITAL
CLINICAL INSTRUCTION TO WO-

MhN.
THE annual meeting of the contributors to the
Pennsylvania Hospital was held on Monday
afternoon, and the proceedings possessed an
unusual degree of interest on account
of the discussion of the yexed question
whether clinical instruction should be
given to female medical students. There was
q strong array of the advocates of each side of
the controversy, and full hearing of the
arguments pro and con. On the part of the
male doctors, various reasons were siren
uously urged for the exclusion of the gentler
sex. 1t was alleged that the protest of the
medical and surgical staff against their ad-
mission, and the hostility of the profession
to that measure, should be deemed an
insurmountable barrier. 1t was also
contended that the usefulness of the
institution will be diminished by the admis-
sion of women to the clinics, and that the
number of free patients has materially de-
clined since the agitation of this matter. One
physician asserted that patients frequently
ask whether they are to be introduced into a
clinic attended by women, and positively
decline to be treated in their presence
Other doctors spoke of the embarrassments
to which lecturers to mixed clinics were sub
jected in many cases, and the impossibility
of discussing large class of subjects, in the
presence of women, with proper freedom.
Another physician took still bolder ground,
alleging that while he did not wish to pre-
vent women from studying medicine, he con
sidered it improper for them to do SO, and
that the profession would be degraded by the
recognition of either mixed clinics or any
other kind which gave good facilities for in
struction at the Pennsylvania Hospital.
On the other hand, the cause of the women
was admirably and earnestly defended. One
Peaker alleged that, as matter of justice
and law, recognized female students of meii-
cine have as good right to purchase tickets
and attend the clinics as male students, and
that this right could and would be enforced
by the courts if they were appealed to. A
lady speaker, who was one of the contributors
to the hospital, made strong appeal in behalf
of her sisters. At another stage of the pro-
ceedings an indignant denial by some of the
male physicians present of an intention -
prevent women from studying medicine was

TOO MUCH or A GOOD THING.

TOO MUCH or 4 GOOD THING.
The proposition to make the 3Oth of May in
each year a legal holiday for the deco I'll"
of the graves of Union soldiers, which is or
agitating Congress, ought to be voted down
without delay. There are already enough
legal holidays, and no addition should be
made to them unless for the celebration of
some great national event of equal import
ance and interest with the signing of the
Declaration of Independence. The objec-
tions to the proposition under consideration
are that it will tend in great measure to
keep alive the unpleasant memories of the
war for the suppression of the Rebellion,
that it will never be observed but by por-
ton of the nation, and that after very few
years it will not be observed by anybody in
the manner that those who originated the
idea intend. A national holiday cannot be
created, although the Government may set
apart day for the purpose, and it is idle to
expect that the succeeding generations will
feel the same immediate interest in the fallen
Union soldiers that the present does. This
may not sound as well as some of the elo-
quent nonsense that great many men in and
out Oh congress are uOuDJleSS pT6phf0u 10
utter on this theme, but it is the truth never
theless; and most sensible persons will think
that some better way of honering our fallen
heroes can be found than by getting up an
annual funeral for them. This proposition,
like Senator Camerons scheme for giving
medals to the volunteers who first entered
Washington in answer to the proclamation of
President Lincoln, is cheap bid for popular
ity on the part of those who make it; and
Congress will not represent the wishes of the
people of the country if it obstructs business
by legalizing another holiday. There is
nothing to prevent those who desire to testify
to their respect for the memories of our fallen
heroes from decorating their graves every
year, or every day in the year, from now
until the end of time; but there is no occa-
sion whatever for an act of Congress on the
subject and members of Congress will merit
the regards of their constituents more by
attending to the legitimate business that is
before them than by wasting their time over
such silly schemes as this
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-05-04

answered in q very telling manner by the
production Of resolution passed by leading
medical society, which declares that female
physicians or male professors in female
medical colleges cannot become members of
the society, and that they must not even be
consulted with, by regulars, for the benefit Of
suffering humanity.
The illiberal spirit displayed in this resolu-
ton unfortunately still animstes large por-
ton Of the male members of the medical
profession, notwithstanding the good ex-
ample set by some of the ablest and noblest
devotees of the healing art in discarding dis
creditable and narrow preiudices.
These prejudices, however, were totally
disregarded in the final action of the meeting
on Monday, by decisive vote in favor of the
following preamble and resolution
"Whereas, The managers of the Pennsylvania
Hospital have asked the contributors TO inform the
incoming board OF their wishes In regard to clinical
instruction to women; and
"Whereds, Such instruction, when given to large
bodies OF men and women collectively, is, In the
minds OF many, OF questionable expedienoe; there
''Resolved, That the managers, after conferring
with their medical and surgical stan shall, IL prac
tcabe, arrange for appropriate, thorough clinical
instruction In the Pennsylvania Hospital to the
students OF the Woman's Medical College OF this
CITY,"
1t will be seen that this is a compromise
measure. 1t was not satisfactory to the ex-
tremists of either side, for the ultra advocates
of woman's rights wished to have mixed
clinics authorized by direct vote, while the
medical speakers were totally opposed to all
forms of clinical instruction to women at the
hospital. The lady speaker of the occasion,
however, took the sensible ground that eff
the resolution was adopted allowing separate
clinics, the women would be satisfied and the
public would commend the action" and these
sentiments will meet general approval. The
capacity of some women to become good
physicians is no longer matter of doubt,
and their utility is proven by the
demand for their services. Since they
will be doctors, whether the Pennsylvania
Hospital admits them to its clinics or not,
the public interest will be promoted by
every new facility granted for their instruc-
ton. Every new fact they learn will help to
soothe the sufferings or to prolong the lives
of their future patients; and in many Attic
tions, especially those which are peculiar to
their sex, they will often be enabled to grant
relief that would not even be asked for from
male physicians.
