The sixty annual commencement
of the medical department of the UNIVERSE
ty of Maryland, took place upon the 1st of
March, at the Masonic Temple. The hall
was filled to its utmost capacity, and the
front of the stage was loaded with bouquets
of rare and beautiful flowers, brought by
the friends of the graduates, and which
were presented to those whom they were
intended when they arose to receive their
diplomas. After prayer by the Rev. E. A.
Dalymple, president, the report of the re-
gents was read, after which was also read
the Mandamus, by Prof. Chisolm, Dean of
the faculty, who announced the names of
the successful candidates for the doctora tie,
they being forty -four in number.
An able and impressive valedictory was
then delivered by Prof. Chisolm, and the
exercises closed with the benediction of the
president of the institution.
The music, which was very fine, was fur
nished by the Independent Blues Band,
which performed during the intervals in
the exercises.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, speech in
the House of Representatives upon the ma
tional debt is one that cannot fail to create a
profound sensation wherever read. 1t is fol-
ly to suppose that this subject is not destined
TO undergo the closest scrutiny at the hands
of the people of this country. Declarations
gifts sacredness because contracted in the SER
vice of the preservation of the Union, though
tinctured with q sound of patriotism that
might give currency for while to such state-
ments, will not preserve it from eventually be-
ing brought to the standard offair dealing and
common right, and there it will be measured
by the principles Of justice and honesty, and
stand or fall accordingly. Reputation is one
thing, and the plea of usury to the largest
part of the public debt obnoxious to that
charge is another, and it is the force and beau
ty of Mr. Voorhees, speech, that it has drawn
the line of demarcation so clearly between
the two. This speech was delivered in Janu-
airy last, when the debate in the House of
Representatives upon thissubject ran so high
between Hon. Henry L. Dawes and Butler
of Massachusetts, upon the showing up by
the former of the reckless extravaganza in
the public expenditures. 1t did not and
from the present constitution of that House,
was not expected, probably, at the time, to
carry any practical results with its irresisti-
BILE logic, but if it will influence the tribunal
of final resort, the taxpayers of this country,
its utterances will not have been in vain.
Mr.. Voorhees, shows, by statements in tab
ular form, to which he challenges the atteu-
ton of all as TO their correctness, the amount
of the b0nuS on the national debt for each
year in which it was contracted, and the in
terest paid and to be paid upon this fictitious
part of the public burthen, and as a result,
exhibits the following to the people of this
country
Sir, allow me now to rccapituate and place
in q compact and distinct form the aggregate
of the obligations, the bonds which were
given as bonus, as bare gratuity, to the
reluctant and unpatriotic capitalists of the
country in order to win their support when
our need was the sorest. Allow me to array
together the items of an appalling account
now in the hands of the taX-gatherer for COL
lection, every farthing of which is mere
fabrication upon paper and as completely de-
void of merit as o forged check presented for
payment. My former statements and calcu-
lations establish the following table, as show
ing the amount of the peoples obligations
which the bondholders obtained in the crea-
tion of the national debt each year for moth
ing-for absolutely nothing:

GRAND PROSPECTS FoN AMERICA IN
RoME.-The Archbishop of Baltimore has
formed "third party" in the Ecumenical
Council in Rome. AS will be seen by our
special correspondence from the Eternal
city, Archbishop Spalding thus heads an
American episcopal force Intermediary be-
tween the extremists of Italy and Germany
on the infallibility question and other vex-
ed subjects. An intermediary. or balanc-
ing party is always powerful one. The
American prelates may thus carry off the

other quarter of the earth has such an awful

A CAPITAL NEW NovEL.-"Red as q Rose
is She," new novel by the author of "Com-
eth Up as Flower" is very vivid and
charming love-story, in which the characters
are drawn with unusual vigor, and the Incl
dents have probability and freshness. "Com-
eth Up as Flower" and "Not Wisely, but
too Well" the preceding novels by the same
author, attracted no little attention on ac-
count of their spirited misunderstanding {;
they exhibited, indeed, in this particular, a
really striking power "Red as Rose" has
the same quality. A better-drawn heroine,
OF one more truly full of u delicious human
nature, no recent fiction has supplied. The
interest of the story is most absorbing, and,
altogether, it is the freshest and most reada-
BILE book of the season. Published by D.
Appleton & Co., New York, who will mail
