kissing ,ise aosi shat smoie Him,

Last week a body Of anted!uyIans, by
York under the sounding name of " Ameri-
can Health Association" nomually to dis
cuss the laws of health, and recommend
such reforms in them as the progress of
medical science, and all that sort of thing,
might seem TO require. But whatever
Ostensible object they may have had, their
real one was evidently to glorify themselves,
and impose new shacklcs on that branch of
the medical professions to which they belong.
y more nalrow-mnded, illiberal, and pro-
scriptive class of men does not exist here
than the American Medical Association,
or whatever it is called, Of =" old school" ply
sic!ans. This " sanitary convention " seems
to have been composed Of very faithful
representatives Of their class. and to have
been far more anxious to maintain their
exclusive and unjust rules than to contribute
anything to the cause OF medical science.
This spirit of mean and vulgar bigotry
and prejudice, and this willingness to render
the public good subordinate to their own
selfish purpose, was strikingly excmplilied
by their refusal to admit to membership, Of
the Health Association, two physicians OF
this city, because one of them CHANGED or
chose 70 be a homeopathist and, because the
others, though an allopathist, consented to
associate with him, and treat him with the
professional courtesy due TO him as an able
and skillful physician, and as 4 cultivated
gentleman. DIR. Verdi will compare favora-
bly, in every respect with the most dis
tnguished members of this Health Associa-
ton, and he undoubtedly has studied longer
and more thoroughly the laws of health, and
understands them better, than any physician
who took a part in its proceedings last week.
DR.. Bliss will compare with the best of them
in every branch of medical science.
And yet both of these distinguished ply
sicians were refused admission to the associa-
ton by the medical bigols and pretenders,
who compose it for the reason, we have stat
ed. And simple protest by DR.. c. c. Cox
of this city, cOuched in the midest terms,
threw the whole convention into a high state
Of excitement, and under its influence they
gave vent 10 thelr lndignlties III language both
nudignitied and ungentlemanly. DIR. Cox was,
declared outof order by the president, and
Il motion was made to cXpel him from the
Association for vcnturing to hint that DR..
Verdi and DR.. Bliss were eligible to menu
bership. The storm he had excited friehten-
cd the supplemented doctor out of his
propriety, and brought him to his knees. lie
saved himself from expulsion by disclaimng
any intention Of insult by his course. But
this did not quite restore him to the conf
dencc Of the Association, and the next day.
As We see by the New \ Ork Times, he made
l. very humble and abject apology, which
was received with great applause; so the
doctor saved his membership at the expense
Of his independence and nanlInc7s.

Row Protection Projects.

Free trade theorists have published vol
ume upon volume, and expended millions
upon millions of dollars in substituting the
press and buying merchantable politicians, to
convince the American people that every
dollar collected upon foreign imports is 4
direct and very oppressive tax upon them for
the sole benefit of the American manulac-
turer. The tariff on iron has been the espe-
cial object Of their attacks, and the whole
power Of their elOquence has been eXerted
to arouse public sentiment against it as an
august and active tax levied for the benefit
of a grinding and heartlcss monopoly. And
they have claimed that iron was really The
only interest that received any benefit from
protection. But intelligent people have not
been deceived by this wilful misapprchension.
They know that other departments Of ma
tional industry besides iron are encouraged
and stimulated by the tariff.
\ Pittsburg paper says it has been ascer-
tanned that the expectation of wool to this
country from England last year amounted to
only six hundred and thirty odd thousand
pounds. In wooden cloths the decrease was
nearly one million yards. In WOODEN carpets

ps5- In the city of Brooklyn, New York,
the colored people are earnestly trying to
have the odious prescription Of their children
by the public school trustees abolished. All
the colored churches unite in the work. This
is an excellent example for Washington and
the District Of Columbia. 1t seems Brooklyn
is not without its "contented" negro, who
Is opposed 10 the abolition of caste distinc-
tons. One Henry NJ. Wilson comes TO the

By the following, taken from the Dai1y
Chronicle of Saturday last, it will be seen that
the spirit of Kukluxi,m is rampan, within
sound OF the nations capitol:
"Since the recent election Ia MARYLAND a
number of the residents in the adjoining
county of Prince Georges have been very
violent in their manifestations Of wrath
toward nul.5er If the votcrs-w hite and
co!ored-who stoJd By principle and voted
the Republican ticket. These manifesto.
tiOns eliminated "u Thursday evening lat.
at Oak Grove, when colOred man, named
Thomas Holland, was set upon and beaten
in most shameful manner, and driven from
his home. The only riiense charged a,ain- :
him is that he voted the Republican ti.ket at
the last election. Holland was brought up
from his home u this city yesterday, ia a
terribly battered manner.
This state OF affairs should be prolnI,Iy
checked and the perpetrators should be held
to strict accountability. IL is q disgrace to
the State, that within almost gun-hOt Of the
capitol Of the nation such inhurnan conduct
should be allowed.

GOVERNMENT AMONG ANIMALs.-A
regularly constituted form of govern
ment, elementary as it may appear, ex-
lists among very many families of ami
mails and insects. Reptiles are usually
solitary, exhibiting neither affection nor
social feelings. A blind buffalo on
western prairie has been konwn to act
as an absolute sovereign over a vast
herd, controlling their movements as
seemed to suit his own views of what
was best for the common good. Horses,
too, in their wild state, wherever found,
invariably obey the behests of a power
full stallion, who parades his forces,
forms lines of defence or suddenly gives
orders for stampede, as circumstances
require. Dogs, left to themselves estab-
fish an oligarchy, whether in Asia,
Africa, or any other continent. The su-
preme authority is invested in certain
individuals, managing prescribed ter
ritory, and woe to those trespassing up
on their domain On concerted occasions
they all act together like wolves for the
accomplishment of q design. Wolves
separate as soon as they have accom-
plished their design, but, like dogs, seem
not to recognize particular leader on

once by setting fire to piece of felled
trees where she was once by pouring
melted lead in her ear, and once he tried
to drown her, but failed in all these, and
finally he fell from boat and was drown

which, though we'll executed IN some

Early Sunday morning the guests in
the Avenue House were disturbed by
drunken row in the room of Danville
man who was stopping there. 1t ap-

them one of the village trustees, had
been playing for money, and when the
winner bagged the stakes, some $40 or
upwards, one Of the others drew pis-
tol and threatened to shoot. which pro-
duced the noise. They had evidently
taken a little too much "suthin'' for
their good. The proprietor, Mr. Hale,
is clearly not in the least to blame, as
he retired Saturday night supposing the
house all quiet, and all who know him
know that he would not have willingly
allowed such doings in his house.
