III guld- Gold tl1cllucd because bonds al
vADctd, and this, tciug reflected IN the jecline
IN wheat, AhoKo how the grain market Of Chi
eA6o and tho price Of grain in the hands OF
every country shipper may bo Affected from
time to time By tbs price Of United State
bonds in London. This prce OF United Ststes
bonds depends upon the ability aud disposition
OF German capitalists OF Frankfort sud berlin
II PrusAia Is successful in the war thesc in
yestments will be retained and tho price Of
bonds gradually advance. II Prussia ueat
with Teyerses. aud the war il prolonged, Ger
man capital would ba withdrawn to some extent
from United States boLas. TO be loaned By its
owners to their OWn government, the price
Of United States bonds would decline, gold
would advance in proportion, And the curreucy
prices Of breA3stufIs wnold1dyance both on
account of the r1so in gold and tho prospeck
OF longer var. rrua.ian victories, therefore,
imply higher gold prices for bonds, and lowar
eian dtfeats imply the reverse.
The Bank Of England, in raining the rate Of

discourage Investments In United States

absorb large hhare Of the specie that would
flow out OF France in Gaze Of

France has 1880. .000, ,0oO francs, or cqusl 10
E25G, ,OO0, 900 in gold, in the Bank OF France
aloue, and ia general circulation anoaE The
people there is coin to the ataountof al least
three thousand millions OF francs, e,ual to
$500, ,000, ,000- Altogether, there is perhaps
tho equivalent Of not less than f90J, 900 pDl
Of coin it France. The issue Of Treasury
no:cs BY the government to circuLate a.
money could not fail 10 force i1rEe, amount
OF the coin out Of the country. Much Of it
would Ee accumulated by the Bank OF Eng

Tho money market was \ trif]e more active
to-day than on SATURDAY, but al first-class bor-
rowers set what they apply for without diff
Guilty. Merchants eth complain OF the slox-
ners Of collections in the country, snd are
pretty heavy bouuwere.
The movement Of currency to tho country
is ttl1 Light, but IL pretty steady in that
direction. It goea mainly to tho wheat-grow-
ing districts, and Indicates prompt movement
Of new wheat.
Exchange Was rathey weak to-day, owing to

A abatement rram the Omcers q
the Medical Hociety.

the MeaMLlA HNNhNNys
On the part Of the Medical Society Of the
District Of Columbia we feel compelled TO
direct the attention OF the public aud the
proSe.sion 10 inc attitude taken by the
Senate Committee Of the District toward the
medical society. -,
When Mr.. sumner brought the matter OF
the repeal Of the charter OF the society before
OonVreas In December last he made state
ments and referred to acts charged upon the
society, which statements and acts not nav
ing been performed or allowed by the society,
the latter then appointed eommitee 20
walt upon Mr.. sumner aud the District
Committee aud inform them rightly on
these points. The medical committee felt
that they had made matters clear to the
District Committee, aud hoped that what
ever would further be done would be done
truthfully aud In a straightforward manner.
To their surprise, however, when Mr.. sum
ner brought up his report on the Sth OF req
ruary he repeated the same misstatements a.
though they had not been contradicled aud
shown TO be erroneous. In IL he repeats hls
charge of the acts of the medical association
upon the medical society as II they were one
and the same body. As well might ho call
the acts of a party caucus those Of Congress
at large. The regulation governing con
sultation among resident physicians, 10
which Mr.. Sumner refers, Ia an act OF the
dal0ctdftOn. Inc cOtnplhlntA VI ITS avs 1851
Puryls and Tucker have reference thero.
fore, to acts OF the dSsoeidtion, and not OF
the society. All through the report MI:
sumner labors TO confound the actions OF
two societies together, In the hope OF making
a case strong enough to Justify Congress to
remove the charter from the medical secietyi
and his reason for this is evident, that In
his own mind he did not consider the act oil
the society sufficient to Justify tho inter
ference Of Congress.
What the society did Is this-they gave Il
colored physicians their legal AID Just rights
they examined aud licensed them-thus the!
allowed them to exercise their calling anI
acknowledged them as physicians, VIVA
they did not do was to admit them 10 so
siety membership, which would have givel
the colored man no additional rights no
loyal privileges. No one better knows thes
facts than Mr.. Sumner, but II would no
have served his purpose TO state them with
out pervorsion and political colorlng.
The society having again here contradicte
the statements Of violation Of charter an
oppression alleged In the report Of the scu
ate committee, leave their case In the hand
Of Congress and yigilant public opinion.
