NORTHEASTERN Ono MEDICAL As
socIATIoN.- The last quarterly meet
ing of the Northeastern Ohio Medical
Association was held at the Franklin
House, in Kent, on Tuesday the 7th
inst. There was quite large num-
Der OF the members in attendance, and
many questions OF interest and im-
portance to the profession came before
the meeting. !
Dr.. McEpright of, Akron, read a
very able paper on the subject of the
Practice of Medicine as Science,
that ELECTED considerable discussion,
which was participated in by many of
the members.
Among other matters of interest
discussed, was the question, ais scar
let fever a contagious disease;" DIR.
Belding, of this place affirming, and
DR.. Bowen, of Akron occupying the
negative of the question; these gen.
tlemen having been appointed at a
previous meeting of the Association
to conduct the debate.r A number of
the other members participated in the
discussion, and much useful informa-
ton was elie1ted, not only in regard
to the subject in issue but also in re-
gard to the pathology and treatment
of that most terrible disease.
Other matters of importance came
, - fFaaFaE so : ~
before the Association and the meet
ing was a very profitable one TO its
mem bers, and cannot sail to be ad-
vantageous toothe profession and the
public, as the members connot fail to
derive much useful and important in
formation by comparing views and
an interchange of sentiments, thus fur
nishing all with their individual ex-
perfences.l sast a. raj .saas4aa
The Association resolved to hold
its next quarterly meeting at Akron
on the first Tuesday in May.
There is County Association of a
number of the physians of this county,
which holds monthly meetings and
which it would be an advantage to all
the members of the profession to at
tacil themselves and attend its regu-
lar meetings.

The people and papers of of New York have

lures OF the wonderful system of "reneat;non

good Mr.. Tweed helps his friends to fortune
Charles E. Wilbour, for instance, is peculiarlv
favored, inasmuch as he is permitted to run
the Transcript for Mr.. Tweed, and gets there
for large share of the immense sums paid to
that sheet for corporation advertising. He is
also President of Mr.. Tweed's New York

Cornelius Corson, the private clerk and

the public attention from the Tammany
frauds says:
The country newspapers have been especi-
ally with startling Developments" in black
figures and large head lines. Every collector
who has proved defaulter since the first
election Of Mr.. Lincoln every country post
master who mas ''absconded" with a thousand
dollars, every officer who has had "balance"
charged against him, and every man who has
procured his appointment through suspicious
Influence, helps to make up these s'fearful ex-
hibits."
Now, there have undoubtedly been corrupt
practices under the officers appointed by the
national administration, and especially in
many instances has the power of appoint
ment to local offices been abused. But there
is one point in the controversy which the
Democratic journals seem to forget, and that
is that in most of these cases the guilty per-
soEs are exposed by their own political
friends, while many OF the Democratic journ-
ais make every effort to shield the Tammany
corruptionist from harm. This is rather in
unfortunate fact for the influence of these
critics of the national aJminisl alton.

In view of the demand of the argus for

Lewiston Journal remarks 1--WE are as
much pleased as the argus over the publica-
ton, but, as we read the evidence, the men
involved in it are Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. The fact is, the 'swindle' was one
of individuals as individuals, and nc party has
anything but condemnation for them. II is

Hall and Connolly of New York, that they

The tax-gatherer, as he goes from door,
makes telling Democratic speeches, and the
purchase of every pound OF tea, or coffee,
or nails, or yard of cloth, or bushel of salt is
a powerful argument for the Democracy
-Ans0n Aduocate
Yes, powerful for the Democracy in the
same sense that Gen. Grant was powerful for
that sterling Democrat, JEFF. Davis. Power
full for the Democracy, when the taxpayer
remembers that these taxes are imposed to
pay the interest on debt incurred in putting
down Democratic rebellion. Powerful
too, when he remembers that every Democrat
in Congress voted against reduction of the
tariff on tea, coffee and sugar in 1863.
