MORNING SESSION.
The Society met at the Hall of the Board of
Tade, at 10 O clock A. NJ, DR.. Bailey in the
chair and Dr. Burnett acting Secretary.
Dr. Tadlock delivered the welcome address,
in which, after welcoming, in a becoming man
nei the members to the hospitality of the city,
hepayed a beautiful and just tribute to the dead
of he profession in East Tennessee, alluding to
the labors and we'll deserved reputation of such
lights in the profession as Cunningham, Pride,
Curry, Hodgdon and Evans. He also said that,
although the nation might be divided by Sec
tioDal feeling and party spirit run high, still we
should let no feeling OF Jealousy separate the
members of one guild. He alluded to the great
want in our schools and colleges of more thor
ough teaching of the principles of anatomy and
physiology, the ignorance of the graduates OF
our best institutions in regard to these lmpor-
tant branches being alarming: " The, proper
study of mankind is man" and II those branch
es we're more thoroughly taught there would not
be so wide field for the operations of quackery.
He gave the clergy rap IN passing and did
not even spare the press for their failure to en-
courage scientific medicine.
Taken as whole it was very appropriate and
to the point.
After the election of some new members the
Society adjourned to meet at o'clock P. NJ.

DIR. S. NJ. Burnett then read an essay on the
Physiology of the Cochlea, setting forth some
recent views regarding the function of hearing,
especially of unused tones.

consider the proposition in;mical to
the Administration, and Mr.. Morton
accused Mr.. Trnmhull OF making tie
proposition for the purpose Of II iur-
ing President Grant. Mr.. Wilson.
although a firm friend of President
Grant, told these super scrviceable
Senator's that their opposition to the
resolution of Mr.. Trumbull was an

Administration was not afraid OF in

searching character; and that the OPP

President Grant to the proposed in

the people that the President feared
to have its actions scrutinizcd.
Whatever spccious Arguments the
Senators may use in their opposition
to a general scrutiny OF the doings
OF the Administration, they may rest
assured that their action will be in
