On tl>e part OF the Medical Society of the Dis
trict of Columbia we feel compelled to direct
the attention Of the public and the profession 70
the attitude taken by the Senate Committee OF
the District toward the Medical Society.
When NJ. Sumner brought the matter OF the
repeal OF the charter of the Society before Con-
gress in December last he made statements and
referred 10 acts charged upon the Society, which
statements and acts not having been performed
or allowed Ivy the Society, the latter then APP
pointed committee to wait upon Mr. Sumner
and the District Committee and inform them
rightly on these points. The medical commit
tee felt that they had made matters clear to the
District Committee, and hoped that whatever
would further be done would be done truth
fully and in straightforward manner. To their
surprise, however, when Mr.. Sumner brought
up his report on the Sth of February, he repeat
ed the same misstatements as though they had
not been cOntradicted and shown 10 be erroneous.
In 1t he repeats his charge OF the acts OF the
Medical Association upon the Medical Society
rs II they were one and the same BODY. AS well
might he call the acts of party caucus those
of Congress at large. The regulation govern
ing consultation among resident physicians, to
which Mr. Sumner refers, Is an act OF the AssO-
citation. The complaints of Drs Augusta. Pur-
Wis and Tucker have reference, therefore, to
acts OF the Association. and not of the Society.
All through the report Mr.. 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 Seciety; and his reason for this is evil
dent, that in his own mind he did not consider
the act OF the Society sufficient to Justify the in
reference of Congress.
What the society did is this-they gave to col
Ored physicians their legal and just rights; they
examined and licensed them-thus they allowed
them to exercise their calling and acknowledged
them as physicians. What they did not do W as
TO admit them to society membership, which
would have given the cOlSred man no additional
rights nor legal privileges. Moo better knows
these facts than Mr.. Sumner. but it would not
have served his purpose TO state them without
perversion and political cOlOring
The society having again here et aI
the statements of violation of charter AMI
oppression alleged in the report of the Senate
committee, leave their case in the hands OF Con-
gress and a vigilant public opinion.

MASTER FRANKIE ID. GCNNELL gave a sednce
last night to quite a large audience at Odd Eel
lows Hall. Many of the wonders occurred
while the doors of the cabinet were open, vet all
Of them were very similar to the Oft presented
phenomena OF the celebrated Davenport and
Eddy brothers. The dark seance was equally eff
fective, and 1t was greatly appreciated by the
entire audience. Master Gunnell's coat, while
he was securely bound, was instantly removed
and the coat of another person placed upon his
back. Instruments, covered with phosphorus,
and while floating about, were played upon.
During the dark sednce a man at the lower end
OF the hall turned the rays of a dark lantern on
the stage, and without the effect designed, but
just in season for the audience to see the coat
thrown into the air and Master Gunnell seated
and bound to the chair. The three nights
advertised have been filed but these manifesto
tons would be continued, however, except for
the occupancy of the hall and the lacerated con-
dition Of the boys wrists from the ropes. G.

FINED FOR SELLING WHIsKEY WITHOUT
LIcEssE--Onicer McFleury arrested Samuel
Thompson yesterday charged with attempting
10 SELL without license, a quantity of Magnolia
whiskey MANUFACTURED at the distIlery of his
father in Pennsylvania. Justice Walter after
hearing, fined him $50. The defendant de-
INJURED at the decision rendered stating that he
had sold goods in Philadelphia and Baltimore
without being required to procure license there
for as there wercnO laws on the statute books of
Ahose places requiring license. The Justice
convinced the defendant that such was not the
case here, and read decisions of jurists in Bal
timore and Philadelphia showing that such laws
were enforced there also. The line was paid and
the defendant discharged.
