Mlnorities in the Right


We heard a good story the 9TH
er day Of a reverend Lancashire
lecturer who was "set upon" in the
South by one Of those "voices9
which sometimes put such ugly
queries when least expected. The
speaker was proving that doers of
good were always in the minority,
and, by parity of reasoning, that
the Radicals were worthy Of
all support and admiration, being
fewer in number than their oppo-
nents. Proceeding to illustrate
Iris argument, he said: "Paul
was in a minority, but who was
right? Peter was in a minority,
but who was right? Christ was
in minority, but who was right p
But the lecturer was completely
"sat upon when voice in the
gallery bawled out, "Judas Iscari-
OF was in a minority but who was
right 2 The effect was indescri-
bable. The lecturer was dumb,
and for some minutes he coufl
not utter a word. The audience,
on whom some effect had previ-
ously been made, literally roared.

SOLChbLA, FnalSh Ao.
The State Medical Association resumed Its
labors this morning at eleven. The leading
society business was the election of officers for
the ensuing year. This resulted in the follow
ing: Or. Thomas T. Robertson, of Winnsboro,
president; DR.. Samuel Fair. of Columbia, first
vice-president; DR.. R. A. Kinloch, of Charles
ton, second vice-president; DR.. j. j. Wardlaw,
of Abbeyile, third vice-president; DR.. j.
somers Buist, Of Charleston, recording secre'
tary; DR.. F. Peyre Porcher, of Charleston, cor
responding secretary; and DR.. Francis l..
Parker, of Charleston, treasurer.
DR.. Robertson is one Of the most successful
practitioners of medicine in the upper portion
of this State. Educated in an American Col
lege, he completed his studies in Paris. But
the most honorable diploma he has received
of all, is an eminently successful practice OF
twenty-five years. And, In medicine as in
war, success is the criterion by which the as
prant should be tried.
DR.. Fair is SO highly appreciated, and so
widely known, that none of your readers
need be told who and what he is. He, also,
is IrOm IHe SCNOoIS vi allS, t1uu Ado S0i 'Su

Drs. Kinloch, Bust, Porcher and Parker,
all of Charleston, are too well known to your
readers for me to more than mention their
names.
Dr.. Porcher, however, as an author, is per
haps the most widely known at the capital Of
this delegation. He is the author Of six works,
the most widely known of which is his "Re-
sources of the Southern Fields and Forests
a work of immense value, especially at this
juncture when our State is moving forward In
the development Of all her resources with an
energy unknown in the past.
DR.. wardlaw is rising man from the upper
central portion of the State.
Five papers were read before the associa-
ton; by DR.. Darby, on the silicates of soda and

The first Wednesday in April, 1871, was fixed
upon as the time for the next meeting, which
is to be held in Charleston.
The association adjourned late in the after
noon, and finished of the evening with hand

The whole affair Of the association was quiet,

THE NIHILISTS.
A Great Conspiracy in Russia.

The Russian correspondent of the Nord Est
writes as follows of the socialistic conspiracy
in Russia, the members of which are called
Nihilists. The conspiracy has several times
been mentioned in the cable dispatches. The
writer says
The affair OF the revolutionary proclamation,
which, 1t was at first believed, was the work OF
Young enthusiasts has assumed alarming pro-
portions A serious conspiracy has been discov-
cred, having men Of all ages and classes as its
members. The alarm is very great among the
conspirators, who are called Nihilists, and the
Government is equally disturbed. There are, it
Is said. only two members Of the government
who oppose reaction against the late reforms.
These are Prince Gortschakoffa and Count Pah-
len. The police, who have always shown great
skill in discovering political ntrigues are at pre-
sent less fortunate, or are under the influence OF
the fear which dominates every one. The chief OF
police at Elizabethgrad escaped being assassiila-
ted for the over-zeal he had shown In discover
ing the conspiracy. Already seven hundred
persons have beesl arrested, among whom are
high public officials, professional men, many
students and political leaders. In anew revo-
lutionary document which has appeared since
the assassination of Ivanof, his assassins are
exculpated on the ground that he belonged to
the phalanX of popular justice" and the con-
spirators declare that they consider their lives
Of no account provided they can realize the
happiness OF the people. In assassinating
Ivanoff they simply got rid of an agent who did
not fulfil the required conditions, and they
further declare that more will be put aside in
the same way the moment it is found that they
ere not faithful to the cause.
This document gives the organization which
the Nihlists propose to establish ifthey succeed.
There is, they say, to be no more family gov
ernment nor religion; the State is to be su-
preme and will establish labor communities,
to which every one must belong or be ex-
cluded from all rights. Every one will be
bound to engage IN manual labor, but permis-
SION may be obtained to pursue professions ad-
Nentageous to the people. There are to be
provincial syndicates formed OF delegates from
the communities, who will attend TO the dis
trbution of the products OF labor, according to
the needs of the different localities.

GOLD DOUN TO TEN AND SEVEN
EIGHTHS.

The New York Times OF Wednesday gives an
interesting account of the exciting scenes in
the Gold Room on the preceding day:
THE COURSE OF GOLD.
AT the opening of the board the price of gold
was l25. Before IL o'clock it had fallen TO II.
Between II and II o'clock the price tluctuated
between l2ii and l2s Immediately after the
hour of noon the premium declined again, and
1852 it was liz. Between and o'clock the
fluctuations were between liz and III. Then it
took another plunge, and went down to III,
and in few moments to ia. 1t was now eVl-
Gent thatthc "bears" were having an easy time
of it, and that the 'sbull" interest had abandon
ed the field The spectators In the gallery were
almost ready to cheer, but were apparent
" waiting for still more cheering results. An
offer of 500, 900 at liz was scarcely given be-
fore it was accepted, and at the word "sold, !"
down went the price to that figure Some
''bull'' now shouted ''I'll give for 100000, !"
and finding his offer not accepted, changed
his proposition to I. "Sold" was yelled by
stentorian lungs, and up went the price to liz.
There then was lull, interrupted by solitary
offers to buy above 0,OOO and 100000 at {.
The absence of offers above ! demonstrated
the fact that no one was then disposed to ad-
vance the price. Heavy operators trod the
platform assigned to the loan market with ears
on the alert for any sound approaching an Of
fer to borrow, but the borrowers were few
