The General Hos pifaI and the HomHo OPP
aflIsla>

The General Hos pital and the III omGoD-
nthIsts.
MR.. EDIToR:-More than a year since the
homeopathic people of this city aud state
were aroused as never before, to aid in the
completion of the Maine General Hospital, then
in process of construction. People of different
medical faiths were appealed to, and all alike
generously responded, the resdlt Of which was
an addition to the hospital fund of more than
$4,000, one-third IF which may justly be cred
tied to those believing in the homeopathic
practices, who generously gave their best effor is
theoretically to the success of the Fair, without
stopping to enquire what were to be their rights
in the enterprise, though they were assured
time and again by those interested in the sue
cess of the fair and the hospital, that they
would undoubtedly receive consideration in the
final arrangements for its management COM
mensurate with their efforts for its success.
To this end the mild request of the homoeop-
athistS for the control and management OF One
ward was, last October, referred to q commit
tee, which, it was understood, would report In
March last. That month came and went, but
no report has yet been vouchsafed, and now as
the time for the annual meeting of the trustees
of the hospital approaches, and it has been
announced that the hospital is to be formally
dedicated and opened to the public with full
corps of physicians and surgeons, together with
an advisory board of physicians, no hint being
| given whether homeopathists are to be counted
| in or out, we feel it legitimate to enquire
| whether those of this and other portions OF the
state who have failh in homeopathic practices,
and who so literally aided in the efforts which
rendered the late fair such magnificent sue
! cess, are to be allowed any rights in the hospi
tai, IN accordance with their views.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

The Club has this season obtained new and more
commodious grounds, constructed and fenced new
t0tting park laid out after the most approved style,
and is now prepared to offer better exhibition than
at any previous year. Owing to slight opposition and
the formation of new society from a few dsaected
members of the old club the latent energy Of the
naming members has been developed, and promis-
ing future has induced many enterprising join
the club who have had little or nothing to do with it
before so that the number OF working members of
the club is nearly three times that Of any former
year.

BURaLARY.-Offlcers Lawton and Blethen
arrested John Ward, yesterday morning, about
two clock. for breaking into the store of Hugh
Malloy on Washington street. While in the
store Ward found some liquor and took some
thing" The result was he took a lighted can
die and went to feeling around barrel of
kerosene, and if the officers had not found him
when they did John would have probably gone
through the roof of the building instead of out
through the window as he entered.

The white Leaguers stilI Active.

New Orleans specials to the Republic state
that the election of delegates TO the Democratic
parish convention Saturday in the city was
quite exciting and bitter, with several fights.
The White League carried several wards in the
registration in New Orleans. The Democrats
are largely in excess, but the Republicans lead
in the country. The White League is recruit
ing and receiving supplies of arms, and drilled
in Canal street Saturday night. II is said the
negroes seriously contemplated keeping away
from the elections, and Aristides Mario, a
Creole, who opposed Kellogg in the nominating
convention of 1872, advises this course, ON the
ground that Kellogg's policy since the riots in
dcates a reputation of the negroes. He says
the negroes will require guarantees or they will
not go 10 the polls.
