BIGoTED PHYSICIAN.

On Thursday last very highly respected
gentleman and Department clerk, residing in
the northern part Of the city, and who, had
served with great distinction In the late war,
where he received one of the most complicated
and dangerous wounds in the thigh, from
which he has not recovered, and in sll proba-
bility never, will recover, was unfortunate
enough to fall andf racture the same leg
Immediately above the knee.
1t is so happened that his family physician
was a lady In the city known as DR.. Edison,
and she having invariably given satisfaction In
her professional attendance. he thought, and
very properly, that it was his duty to notify
her of the accident, at the same time sending
for DR.. Bliss. DR.. Edison came<but DR.. Bliss
could not be found, and as thu lady physician
made no pretensions in the Iine' of surgery,
and as the case was an urgent one, 1t was
deemed advisable TO send for DR.. Lincoln. He
came, arriving about an hour after the acct
dent, but finding DR.. Edison in attendance, and
aseertaining that she practiced homeopathy,
turned upon his heel and left the house, stating
that he would have nothing to do with her pa
tent, and refusing to listen to any explanation
either from DR.. Edison on the suffering man.
In the course of about three hours DR.. Bliss
got the message which had been sent to him,
and arrived at the house to find that during
all this time the patieut had been lying on the
floor suffering from the most intense pain, and
proceeded Immediately to render the proper
surgical appliances. ~
We merely give publication to these facts in
order that the public may know that there is
in this city physician Of prominence and dis
tinction who Is SO actuated by prejudice against
certain physicians of another sect or class that
he could be guilty of the inhuman act referred
to. The said facts can all be substantiated by
several credible witnesses, and deserve the

OUR NEW GOVERNMENT.
PLANS OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE.

Or 1h1 OO4N1 LEE.
The New York Times of yesterday has the
following dispatch from this city:
"The Joint Committee to frame laws for the
government of the District of Columbia, which
is composed of Senators Morrill, of Maine and
Hamilton of Maryland, and Representatives E.
r. Hoar and Mitchell, will remain here for a
few days to lay out q general plan of their
work, so that each may take home with him q
part of the labor which has to be performed
In the first place the committee Is met with
several questions of a very general, but of q
very important, character, which they will de-
termine before entering upon the drafting OF
the laws. The difficult problem of how to
govern great cities is thrown upon the commit
tee, and they have been given blank card
upon which to work out a solution.
Washington is now the twelfth city In popu-
lation in the Union, and is increasing in ratio
not exceeded by many others. Under the Con-
stitution, as 1t has been heretofore interpreted,
the committee has the right to institute gov
eminent directly responsible to Congress and
appointed BY It, or 1t has the right to delegate
such parts of the government as it may deem
best to the citizens of the District, and in this
fact arises one of the first questions which the
committee has to solve. That is, whether the
District should be given legislature, (and in
view of the recent operations of the Legislative
body Just abolished they might add the question
of whether legislature here could be pre-
vented from stealing the public furniture, } and
shall the law establish and recognize the dis
graceful system Of ward politics which has
prevailed here under the last government and
under the form of government which preceded
itl
"Senator Morrill,, of Maine, some years ago
introduced into Congress bill for the govern
ment of the District through a commission,
and he is, therefore, somewhat committed to
that method, and probably has not much
changed the views he then entertained. II
win be easily seen that this committee enters
upon aworkwhich may have more significance
than the mere formation of government for
the District of Columbia, for r. the plan they
establish shall be found, on practice, to be sue
cessful in this city, IL will be a model on which
the government of other large cities may be
framed"

REGATTA.

POTOMAC BOAT CLUB-SEC0ND RACE
The second race of the Potomac Boat Club
regatta took place yesterday afternoon. The
attendance of spectators was the least larger
than the day previous, and the racing very
little more interesting, yet withal it was very
monotonous. The inharmonious strains of the
signal corps band assisted slightly in Willing
away the dull moments between the races
The first race was senior single SOULS, entered
by 7. I. Cropley, d. Coughlin, F. Jones, A.
j. McBlair and 2. Carpenter. Messrs. Nc
Blair and Cropley after the race started with

Coughlin, 27:30; Jones, 27:S0. s-sf
The second race, Junior single SOULS, thesen-
tries were j. Nicholson, W. Snyder and W.
Antrim, who made the following time: Mich
olson, II min. % sec.; Antrim, IS min. %
Sec; Snyder, IS min. 90 sec.
The third race was double SOULS, and the
entries were A. j. MeBlair and n s. Truax,
T. L. Cropley and A. Cropley. The result
was: McBlair and Truax, Is min. Is see.; the
Cropley brothers, Is min. IS sec.
The first race was from the Aqueduct bridge,
one mile and half down the river and return
The second race was from the boat-house to
the Three Sisters and back.
The third race was from the boat-house to
the Three Sisters and return.
! Mr.. P. T. Dodge acted as starter, and Col
Jas. Dickson as Judge, the latter gentleman on
this occasion not having any ladies with him.
Tomorrow q scrub race will take place over
the Potomac course.
1t Is worthy of remark that the Indifference
manifested yesterday in furnishing information
TO representatives Of the press Is not in ac-
cord with the usual customs of the members
Of the Potomac Boat Club, IS Il is well known
that the membership is composed CT some of
the best citizens of Georgetown as well as
