The Philadelphia papers OF yesterday remove
all uncertainty In regard to the allegations
long afoat of the sale Of diplomas by the two
concerns called the philadelphia University
of Medicine and Surgery" (Paine's) and the
"Amercan University Of Philadelphia and
Eclectic Medical College," (Buchanana.) A
committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature has
been investigating the subject, and at It's last
meeting In Philadelphia, the Ledger says, o
sufficient number of cases OF traffic In dlplo-
mas was brought to light to justify revocation
OF their charters, and not only to justify It, but
10 demand 1t. The following are specimens:
One of the witnesses, who either Is or has
been .tprotessor' IN one Of them, admitted
that he had had blank diplomas Of both Patne's
and Buchanan,s establishments IN his posses
sion: was about to make the selling OF diplo-
mas o business before the passage OF the late
act of Assembly making 1t criminal ofence;
that he had never sold but one, but that he
would have signed one of them "quickeC than
Winkn If he could have made money by 1t.
Buchanan, of the Pine street establishment,
admitted that one of his degrees had been
sent to Schuylkll County TO man who had
not appeared for examination, said man haV-
ing afterwards made donation OF twenty y-fVe
dollars. Another witness, one of these DroodS
of .idoctors," testified that he had bought
scholarship for seventv-fve dollars III the
Philadelphia (Psine's) University. wrote no
medical thesis; passed no regular" examina-
tien: but he got his diploma. Another testl'
fied to his knowledge of o diploma having
been issued by Paine for seventy dollars TO
man who attended no course OF study. stll!
another, ian herb DOCTOR" q colored
man, testified that he had never ATTENDED, attended,
any course Of lectures, but had received
through DR.. Bissell, from DR.. Bu.
ebanan. diploma as "a mark Of honor''-but
a polIIical campaign was then gong on, AMI
one of the doctors was candidate for the
Legislature. Yet another, also colored man,
had been favored with Paine diploma, when
was hung up In bis office during his absence;
and vet another had received Buchanan
dinloina after attending one course, but ne
had been praclicng for twenty years before
that. But the most extraordinary portions OF
this Testimony vet remain to be told. "doc-
for y who described his business to be "study-
iny and practcing medicine" mentioned
among his qualifications that he had been
Hianiior for seven years" in Baltimore medi-
cal school: he also had diploma from 6ota,
nical college In The West Indies, and Intended
to get another from Buchanan, but that the
latter charged too much. This, however,
does not equal the evidence of James Nc.
Shane. who has been some sort OF an alien
dant Ia the dlssectDg room nf both the "Pnl-
Iadelnhia" and the "Eclectic." He says ne
ttworkedp for DR.. Paine, and "dld some Work'
for the s,Eclectic:" he was no graduate, but Id
Paine,s establishment he sometimes iran tne
dissectJno room" aud "acted as teacher he
had been offered diplomas to sell.

During the spring months we had very heavy
demand In this market, rising Tor several
weeks to $4,000 or 80, 600 bales each. France
drew largely from US, being entirely ex-
hausted. Now there are 900 bales afoat
and in stock at Havre, against 46, 900 bales last
year, and French spinners are heavily stocked
besides; indeed, 1t Is thought that France
has already secured the bulk of all she requires
for this year, the fear of duty being imposed
having caused every one to stock In antlclpa-
ton. The rest of the Continent is only mode
rately supplied, but still much better than last
year, and, therefore, We conclude that our
total export cannot be put at more than ESQ, 600
bales, II 30 much, againt 9l0,0 bales last
year and 658, 900 bales In 1870.
There remains the question of consumption.
We have already said that we estimate 1t at
$4,000 bales, including agreat proportion OF
Brazil, and we think this allowance saf1cient
forthe year, especially as the trade held large
surplus on 1st January, which they would
probably part with If next American crop
promised well. The deliveries to the trade
would then be S32s, 900 bales, against 3,2l4, 900
bales last year, and ISL, 900 bales the previ-
Ous year. We tabulate these figures as follows:
