THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE DIsTRICT-An

ment Of facts explaining the status of the Medi-
cal Society of the District Of Columbia with
reference to the proposed action of Congress for
the repeal of its charter; which committee male
a report last evening, in the nature of an appeal
to Congress, which was signed by Doctors j. w.
n. LOvejOy, L. III. Lieberman, j. NJ. Toner. api
VIM. L. Johnston. The report, after giving a
history Of the origin of the Society, denies the
truth of the charge that it has with prejudice
and tyrannical exercise of the powers con-
ferred on il by its charter, refused to certain
eguitably demand, saying: " The falslty Of this
charge will be apparent upon an examination of
the provisions of the charter" which are
quoted to sustain the denial. The appeal
goes on further to assert that the So
eiety has never refused the right OF
membership to any applicant who had pre-
sented diploma from any respectable medical
college and been passed by the Board of Exam
liners. The privilege Of membership is only for
Alludlng in severe terms to certain members of
the society who are charged with attempting to
break IL up, the report VS." Among the
prime movers in this attempt to effect the de-
structi0n OF the society are certain individuals
VINO nave settled amongst us of late, have re-
ce1ved the courtesy of its members; yet while
retaining their membership, they are plotting
It's destruction" The report winds up with a
solemn protest against .. q tyranncal attempt TO
legitimate right, and in the absence of any
express legislation to meet the emergency, the
opposition to which might then be Justly charge
able TO the society as a misdemeanOr."

The CONDEMNED PRISONER kELLY-AR Ef-

Kelly, who was, on Tuesday last, sentenced by
Judge Fisher, in the Criminal Court, to be
hanged on the 1lth day OF March next, for the
murder OF John Mardes, on a vessel lying at G.
street wharf, in July last, on being taken to the
jail Tuesday afternoon was asst gned to the same
cell he has occupied since he was convicted, a
rev weeks ago-the centre iron-clad, on the
second floor right There are several other
prisonsgs confined in the two other cells adjoin-
ing on this floor. Kelly, shortly after re-enter-
ing his cell, seemed to settle down to his prepa-
ratfons for death, and resumed the use of his
prayer book. which has been his constant COM
paniOn since his conviction, but from his looks
next morning il seems that he did not spend
very Guiet night his eyes next day being hollow
and his countenance having worn and haggard
look Since his conviction, he has received
the visits Of Rev. Father Walter of st. Patrick's
Church, (who visits the Catholics IN the iail
every Wednesday, and yesterday Rev. Father
koccofort, OF St Aloysius Church, called to
see him and left prayer book, for which the
prisoner seemed very grateful. Although he
has but n few friends residing in this section of
the country, one or two of them win make an
atte mpt to obtain communication of his sentence
To imprisonment for life; and Mr.. Barrett the
prisoners coursel-who since his incarceration
has been very kind to him-we understand in
tends TO appeal from the decision of Judge
FISHER IN overruhng the motion for a new trial.
Since the prisoners conviction, when not en-
gagged in reading he has spent the time in writ
ing. He speaks with gratitude OF the attention
paid To him by the Warden, General CrOcker,
and the deputy and guards, and the many acts
Of kindness by his counsel, Mr.. y. ID. Barrett,
whom he says he will remember while life
lasts" His general behavior in prison has been
quite good. He admits that he struck the fatal
blow, but denies that he had any intention to
Hill; admits further that he is very passionate,
and had been in the habit of drinking to excess
and says that liquor has led him to bis present
condition.

Attorney Darlington and his assistant Mr..

fence. The following iurers were sworn -

Hitchcock and TheO. +. Samuels. The regular
panel having been exhausted, several talesmen
were selected, and st. Clair Burley and B. +,
Daily were sworn.
Kerr, it will be remembered, resided in the
county, and was in the city, on the day the fatal
blow was given, with two companions, Hessler
and Maurice. On their way home they stopped
at a restaurant at the corner of III street and
New Jersey avenue. Here, when the keeper OF
the restaurant noticed Holloran approaching in
an intoxicated condition, they were locked out
and the two parties meeting, some words passed
and scuffiing took place, OccasOned by deceased
striking Holloran in the face. A third party
having arrived on the ground, it is alleged that
one OF them (Hourihan) threw a stone which
knocked Kerr senseless Kerr was subsequently
taken to his home in the county and died the
following day.
Several witnesses were examined, including
Drs. Potter (COrOner) and j. F. Hartigan and
1T having been shown that Holloran instead of
having aided and abetted in the commission of
the crime, really had attempted to prevent its
commission, the prosecution suggested to the
Court that they would drop the charge as against
him, and under the instructions of the Court, he
was found not guilty.
