do their full duty to tLemst Ives, to their pro-
fession, and to those who in every peril they
are called upon to succor, than by patiently
and earnestly following the bright example
that for the long years of a toilsome and du-
tiful life, was unbrokenly set them by their
now departed brother.
DIR. Lee then spoke, in earnest commenda-
ton of Dir. Sappington's character; of his ur-
banity among his professional brethren his
earnest serviceablcness in every way to his pa
tients; and his strongly marked practical
characters not only in the direct duties of u
medical man, but in a IN altitude of auxiliary
services, which give his professional acts the
warrant of success, wherever strong sense
and the ready adaptation of means to en'ls,
could fortify and ensure the healing power
of his art
DIR. Hays then arose, and gave earnest per.
sonal testimony of tue character professional
and personal, of DR.. Sappington OF his wis
dom and urbanity iii professional consulta-
tons; of his hearty appreciation of profess
siolal services rendered his patients during
Dr. Sappington's necessary absence, and of
the loss which the community had suffered
by the removal OF 50 eminent and useful "
man.

adopted; which motion being seconded by
DR.. John Evans, was unanimously approved

DR.. Virdin called attention of the meeting
to the recent action in the U. s. Congress,
threatening the abrogation of the charter of
the Medical Society of the District of Column
bia, in consequence of that society having,
under its prescriptive and unquestioned
right, its own sense of professional and social
duty, and i'll the warrant of every legal
sanction, refused to admit negro practition-
ors to its membership.
DR.. Virdin strongly urged the Hartford
County Meiical Society to record and pub
lish its hearty, deliberate, and unalterable ap-
proval of the course pursued by the Medical
Society of The District, which he was sure,
was not only imperativey necessary, but
would meet the steadfast approval of all the
wise and good among the profession and out
of it, throughout the land.
DR.. Virdin's sentiments were, on motion
of DR.. Lee, adopted as the unanimous senti
ment of the Hartford County Medical Society;
and the Secretary of the Society was instruc-
ted to communicate copy of the record to
the Medical Society of the District Of Column
bia.
The Society then adjourned.

Town ELECTIONS IN MARYLAND.--At the
town elections in different parts of the State,
the colored people, where no special quail
fication interferes with them or others, are
voting to such extent as they desire. 1t has
already been shown that at Towsontown,
Westminster. Hagerstown, Upper Marlboro,
Elkton, Laurel, &C., they had voted. A few
also voted for commissioners at Cecilton,
Cecil county, last week. AT Leonardtown,
in St. Mary 5 county, however, they refrained
from availing of their privilege las. week,
when there were two opposing conservative
tickets in the field for town officers. At
Chestcrtown, it appeared, under the charter,
only persons holding real estate in their own
or wife's name can vote for town commission
ers; hence colored man named Isaac An
derson has filed deed in the clerks office,
conveying, in consideration of the sum of
Fifteen dollars three feet nine inches of

may control the'election on the 23d instant.

ACQUITTAL OF MCFARLAND.-The long
drawn out and sensational trial of McFar-
land for the murder of Richardson in New
York was brought to close yesterday, the
jury, three hours after the case was given
to them, rendering verdict of not guilty.
This was the result expected, for it has,
during the latter part of the proceedings,
been evident that, so far as Mcfarland
was concerned, the case was virtually dis
posed Of and it was more those who had
aided, allotted and sympathized with
Richardson in gaining the affections of
Mrs. Mcfarland and taking her to himself,
who were on trial than the prisoner. In
fact, freeloveism and all its supporters, di-
rect and indirect, or rather those pernicious
doctrinaries whose influence tends to
weaken the marriage tie, have been on
trial, and up for an airing and public con.
demnation. The ground of acquittal is of
course, the insanity of Mcfarland when
he did the fatal shooting, a thing the jury
ought, however, to be very sure of before
accepting it as fact.-Sun.

The Public Meeting.

We invite the attention of the citizens Of
Richmond to'the call for public meeting
to be held this evening at 5 o'clock at the
| room OF the Chamber Of Commerce, over
the First National Bank. We have in an
other article presented views bearing upon
the object of this public meeting. AS
surelly, Richmond should be represented
at the convention in Lynchburg and also
at that in Powhatan. Every interest We
have is in entire harmony with all tie
towns of the James River valley, and we
should confer with any of them or all Of
them whenever invited to do 80. Are we
ready to declare war against any Of them |?
There is no ground for hostilities, and we
should not provoke them.
With oil due respect, we consider the
Chamber of Commerce too tender-footed.
Where was the indiscretion or peril of
sending delegates from that body to both
the conventions Does it not consider in
its meetings just such topics as arc to be
discussed by the conventions =? Is it not
peculiarly appropriate that it should offer
its views through its delegates to those con-
ventionsl Those We've, offered to assem-
blages which they have been respectfully
invited to attend, would be regarded the
views Of the intelligent body of gentlemen
who compose the Chamber, and while not
binding upon Richmond would be consid-
cred most respectfully.
Besides, the Chamber is looked upon as q
sentinel upon the watch-tower, guarding
the interests of Richmond, and in any pro-
ceeding bearing upon those interests it may
most appropriately take part.
We trust the meeting this evening will
take proper view of the relations Of this
city to the questions to be discussed by the
conventions, and determine to put Rich
mond boldly forward, asserting her OPT
Mons and taking care of her interests.

writer. In 1881 he Joined che Confederate
cause, and came to Richmond whom the town
Of Alexandria was occupied by Federal
troops. Here he was elected Public Printer
to the Confederate Congress. and purchased
an interest in the Enquirer, Of which pa
mar he became coSditor with MIR. TYLER.
In about a year this connection was dis
solved, and Mr.. SMITH revived the Sentinel,
which, with the exception OF brief inter-
run.ion ut the end Of the war, was con-
t;nued until 1866, when it was united with
the ENQUIRER. In 1867 he retired from
journalism and became principal Of fc-
male seminary in Petersburg, from which.
in the course Of q year, he passed to the
Professorship of Philosophy in Randolph
Macon College, in which Office he died.
Mr.. SMITH was one amongst the distin-
guished editors of Virginia. He was a
close and cogent reasoner, and when ex-
cited to the use of sarcasm or invective nc
welded a very powerful pen. He was a
conscientious and sincere gentleman and
pious Christian. He, nevertheless, de-
meaned himself with that decision and
manlness of conduct which in times of ex-
citement is sure to raise up adversarles for
a man while it secures for him attached
and devoted friends. Nevertheless, he
dies heartily regretted by oil.

nc held the position of Professor of Philoso-
ply IN Randolph Macon College.

years of age. He was born in Fauquier j;
