ATTACK ON THE NORTH CARO-
LIMA MEDICAL SOCIETY,".

We notice in the NraC York IHcdicaI
RcUicp for December, 1873, some I'M
complimentary remarks on the pro-
ceedings of the twentieth annual meet
ing of the Medical Society of the State
of North Carolina.
It says the addresses and ESSAYS con-
tanned in the pamphlet published by
the Society, giving a short account OF
the routine of proceedings, are not
ediiy;ng.
It says the fact that the Society is
composed of "delegates-one from
each county, ought to place it above
the level of those societies whose meet
ings consist of any and all of their per-
manent members who may choose to
be present" For this reason, the
editor thinks the published proceed
ings should be reviewed with less than
usual leniency.
The editors premises are false and
cessante ratione, IeriDsa cessat. 1t is
not true the Society is made up OF
delegates-One from each county. No
delegates are appointed, but the usual
meetings consist of all the permanent
members who may chose to attend. So
that there is no reason why the pro-
ceedings should be reviewed with less
than usual lenlency.
The New York Journal then refers
rather contemptuonsly to the ''serlo-
comic report Or the Executive Commit
tee of the Society, recommending the
creation of the inevitable Board of
Censors," and speaks of the ''stilted
report" of the special committee re-
lating thereto.
Now it is well known that one of
the most eminent medical associations
in New York has the 'inevitable Board
of Censors" in successful operation.
The Journal then refers to the dis
cussion of the modern treatment of
acute internal infamotiOn, which 1t
SAYS has already given the Society
some "notoriety." This is very
dubious compliment-it Is rather a
back handed lick. A man who is
| simply called notorious has not very
| enviable reputation.
The Editor then refers to the prlr-
cipal disputants, Drs. Satchwell and
Norcom. The former. he says, ''has

SENATOR TROY.

The Examiner, the Raleigh organ
Of the Radical party, almost daily
levels its heaviest batteries at Senator
Troy. His constituents well know
that these assaults are made because
the Senator from Cumberland is firm
and steadfast i'll the performance of
his duty. We have watched with
pleasure the course Of this gentleman
for the past four years, and while we
have frequently differed with him III
regard to local questions, we have
found him industrious, pa:nstaking,
intelligent and bold IN the perform
ance of his duty, and we are prepared
to see him asSaiIed y the organs of
the Radical party.
The people Of N4rtI, Carolina will
not soon FORGET the exposures made
by Senators Troy and MCCLAMAiY, Of
this county, of the Penitentiary ring,
by which the State has ultimately
saved a large amount of money.
Democrats and Conservatives who
do their duty feariessly and ably, DO
not generally find much favor with
Radical papers. Senator TROY Will
survive their attacks.

We were not among those who We're
exceedingly rejoiced at the "Reform"
victories i'll California, Iowa and Kan
sas. We were gratifed, to he sure,
that local grievances were rectitied,
that honest men should obtain control
of local power But in political point
of view, we preferred to "watch and
wait, before we became elated.
We confess to our intense selishness
in political matters. The South has
suffered so much-is suffering SO much
from a political tyranny withoutpar-
allel in the history of professed repub-
Hcan governments that we regard no
election at the North with much favor
that does not tend to bring relief to
our suffering people. This may be
sectional-it is selfish, as we have con-
fessed-it certainly is true.
From our stand point, therefore, we
are not yet satisfied that we have much
cause for hope in the late Reform
successes. How much room there IS
even for congratulation, we CANNOT tell.
1t may be that ex-Go vernon Booth,
the "Reform" Senator elect from Cali
fornia, may not be a Radical Republi-
can. We trust not, but we prefer to
watch his course before we throw up
our hats over his election. We do
sympathise in his fight against the rail
road subsidies of his State. Will he
sympathise with us in our fight against
the Federal tyrants who are running
the South ? We shall see.
In Iowa we notice that the "Reform"
Legislature has elected Radical Re-
publican Speaker of the House. This
is a local matter in which we have lit
tie political interest, and mention it
only as indicating what would have
been the result if Senator had to be
elected.
Kansas was still to be heard from.
Pomeroy had left the Senate in dis
grace, and was detected in his crimi-
nal efforts to get back. His trial is
now pending before the State Courts.
Caldwell, the other Senator, had re-
signed to prevent expulsion. This
seemed too much for the people of
Kansas, and great reform" revolu-
ton set in and swept that State. The
Legislature met, and for weeks they
balloted for Senator. On Monday
last, Ex-Governor JAMES M. HARVEY,
who, according to local authority,
"comes well recommended" was
elected. The successful candidate is
represented to be straight Grant
Republican" He was elected by a
combination of the "Reformers'' and

There are probably few, however,
familiar with the subject of the in
crease of capital put on intareet, who
would no5 be startled at the statement
that the cost of the outfit of Christie
pher Columbus in his first voyage of
discovery, put at interest at six per
cent, would by this time have amount
ed to more than the entire money value
of the Continent, together with the
accumuatiOns from the industry of all
VINO have lived upon it.
Estimating the entire outfit to have
cost only the small sum of five thousand
dollars, and remembering that money
doubles at six per cent. in little less
than II years-Or, accurately, IL years,
10 months, and 81 days. Allowing it
to double every twelve years, at inter
est at six per cent. since 1892, it will
be found, would Lave amounted to

eraging five members ench) would
give more than Il million of dollars as
the possession of every one of these.

at six per cent. is sixty thousand dol

the former by the fact that his noble

The Springfield (Mass.) RepuJHceus
concludes an editorial under the above
head, as follows:
We have no right to be surprised
that the Southerners don't love us any
better; the wonder is that they don't
hate us ten time worse. We outfought
them, reduced them from wealth to
poverty, quartered the scum of our
population on them, enfranchised their
ex-slaves, DISTINGUISHED their states
men. We have since undone part of
our work, it is true, and are now will
ing and anxious to undo more. How
ever the case may stand with the pol
iticians who cling to war memories
and passions as their only stock in
trade, the people of the North, as a
mass, have nothing for the people of
the South but a hearty good will-wisli
them nothing worse than to be Wei
gers and on the high road of prosper
lty. 1t is not strange, however, all
things considered, that the Southern
ers should be little slow III believing
i'll this good will and good feeling.
These are fair words indeed, and if
the acts of the Northern people were
in accordance with the tcords Of the
more moderate, tie feeling between
the sections would be qnite different.
We see such kindly words from many
quarters, bat when the time to vote
comes, the whole North, with wonder
ful unanimity, elect men to the Ma
tional councils, who vote to continue
the rule of the "scum" of their popu-
lation over us. They elect Presidents
and Senators and Representatives who
fasten the "clutches of the carpet-bag-
gers" still more firmly upon us. The
talk of 'sgood will and good feeling"
comes with a bad grace from those
who send Edmunds and Butler and
Hoar and Conkling to Congress. and
who applaud the disgusting impudence
of the negroes Elliot and Cain, for the
very license with which they are per-
mitted to abuse the white people of
the South
The South is little distrustful of
the good feeling which exists at the
North towards us, for we judge of the
sentiments of the people by their cho
sen and honored representatives.

maze Of foggy phraseology," and says
che supports his doctrine in very much
of the style of the Kentucky Judge,
who decided that sprinkiing was valid
baptism" The Journal then proceeds
| to pitch into DIR. S. with some severity.
The only compliment it pays to the
whole proceedings, is to the reply of
DR.. Norcom, whose remarks it calls
the s'salt of the proceedings."
Now, we doubt not DR.. Satchwell is
| able to cope with the Editor of the
New York journal, and if that indi-
vidual will give DR.. S. an opportunity
IN open discussion to answer him, he

terrible blows.
The Editor Of the Journal must
know that no later than last year DR..
Satchwell was invited to deliver the
annual address before the Alumni of
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons of New York. and that on that
occasion he was treated with marked
respect and courtesy. His reputation
should protect him from ridicnle at
least. He may belong to q different
school of medicine from the Editor of
the Journal, and his school may be in
error but his position should be met
with argument, not abuse.
We copy the above from the Raleigh
1Nems in justice to the Medical Society
of North Carolina, and to the distin-
guished gentlemen at whom the attack
is specially aimed.
The position taken by DR.. Satchwell
III this controversy is endorsed by the
medical faculty generally. He has
been assailed by the leading Medical
Journals in this country and in Europe,
but the Editors have seen no authentic
or correct report of the controversy,
but their unjust criticism are based
upon &c 2)0rte statements and misrep-
resentations of DR.. Satchwell's views.
1t is to he regretted that our physicians
do not have an official journal of their
own, where correct reports of their
views could be published, and iii which
they could defend themselves from the
Anonymous attacks to which they now
are subjected.
1t is to be hoped that Dr. Satchwell
will publish in some Medical journal
his argument at Statesville in full, as
the most suitable and satisfactory reply |
to the misrepresentation which have
been indu!ged in regard to his views.
In the meantime, he may rest assured |
that frJsn the noise his opponents are

n HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Man Held Fast by Il Sea Monster
Until tEc Tide Rises and Covers

"A w sASh ny d sen NlOhSteF
Until tkc Tide Rises and Covers
Him.
We were yesterday pat into poses
sion of the details of the death of a
Chinanan on the Coronades, day be-
fore yesterday, says the San Diego
World of January 10, that eclipse in
horror the death scene described by
Victor Hugo, III his ''Toilers of the
Sea, in which devil fish is introduced
with graphic power. Our readers
know that the abalone meat is priced
delicacy of the Chinaman, and that the
polished, is one of the most fancied
and beautiful things in nature. The
abalones are generally sought lower
the neighborhood of San Deigo.
Day-before yesterday, Fung Chou, a
professional fisherman, residing near
Roseville, known among Americans by
the nickname of "Chowder," started
out to the Coronades in his boat to
hunt for abalones. Of course his move
ments can only be surmised by the
event. The supposition is that he
moored his boat and began his quest.
The Coronades are quite abrupt in
their neutrality-suspicious., but occa-
sionlly broken. "Chowder" saw an
enormous abalone in a cleft of the rock,
IN place covered with water when
the tide was in, and, throwing himself
Oh his stomach, he dropped over the
ledge to wrench the delicacy from its
fastness. Abalones are univalvular,
and if, in detaching one from the rock,
to which it can fix itself almost i'm
movably, one happens to not wrench
it loose at once, it often closes its
single shell on the rock, prisoning the
spelling hand and causing inexpressi-
BILE agony.
This was poor "Chowder's" fate
AS his evil star W would have it, the aba
lone was unusually large, and the poor
Chinaman, unable to release himself,
must have early realized that he was
doomed. F:om lis position leaning
over the rock, he could not brace him
self, or obtain any leverage by which
at the sacrifice of the hand, if need be,
he could tear himself free.
We can imagine the agony suffered
by the poor wretch as he waited long
hours for the rising of the tide which
should end his misery by death. The
actual pain endured must have been
nus peakable, and no help was nearer
than eighteen miles.
We can conceive of nothing so hor-
riblo as such a situation, except the
ancient Persian punishment of the
"BOat, described 1ninutely in Plutarch
in which the victim was thrown to the
ground, a boat was turned upside
down over him and staked, and his
face was smeared with honey to attract
the insects. There he was left to die.
The poor Chinaman's plight was almost
as bad as this. but, happily, the re-
turning tide prevented the agony from
being Us lasting. The inexorable wa
ters, however, shortly did their work.
There came a time when the poor
Chinaman could strain no longer, and
when the briny flood sucked from
his lungs the breath of life.
When, yesterday, ''Chowder's" body
vas recovered by brother Celestial,
his dead hand was ciutched in the re-
morseless grasp of the abalone. which
had so terribly avenged the invasion
of his rock home The agony the poor
fellow had endured was imprinted on
his face.

About three weeks ago General F.
E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United
States, before his departure for Florida
received a letter requesting the re-
demption of an inclosed twenty dollar
Confederate no e, or Information as to
where redemption could be attained.
General Spinner grutiiy told his clerk
to TIL the man to go to the chief of a
very warm place. The clerk put this
in very polite but distinct language,
aud General Spinner signed the letter.
The other day an answer came 1t was
to the effect that the owner of the note
had done as requested, and that Pluto
had redeemed it with promptness. He
added that as he was leaving Pluto's
banking house that dignitary inform
ed him that the Treasurer of the
United States was well known there as
a partner in the concern, and the infiu-
ence of any recommendation he would
make was sufficient to secure its adop-
tion. The wag goes on to say that
Pluto spoke very highly of his friend
Spinner.
