Prof. John G. Diapers lecture contains an
interesting sketch of the rise, progress, and
present condition of the Medical Department
of New-YOrk University, which has suffered
severe misfortunes, and has triumphed over
them. The education that medical stu
dents require, and the means by
which the University can confer 1T upon
them, are clearly detailed. Himself eminent
in chemical science, Prof Draper finds In It's
relations to the healing art a congeniai Topic
and brings variety of entertaining inIorma-
ton to bear on the subject.
Mr.. Carpenters letter is out. lie merely
told Gov. Kellogg that thousand dollars
would be q godsend. 1t was after he had
received several thousand, and before his
| final report to the Senate on the usurpatlon
he had been sent to New-Orleans to lnvesu-
gate. But of course it was purely for legal
| services. AS lawyer he was in the pay OF
the usurpation as a Senator he was engaged
in trying and pronouncing judgment upon it.
He demanded the godsend as a lawyer, not
as a Senator. When the devil gets the law
yer, the Senator sees no reason LII the world
why he should not escape.
| Once more the voters of the Essex District
have it in their power to determine whether
| Gen. Butler shall represent them. Some OF
| them seem to be labOring under a sort OF
political nightmare, and are grooming in the
delusion that no matter what they do, Butler
will carry the Convention and the District by
some sort of necromancy. Such weak souls
will find encouragement in letter which we
print this morning, Analysing Buffers strength
and weakness. AL that is needed is unity OF
action on the part of his opponents, and the
indications are that this desideratum will not
be difficult to obtain.
Wisconsin politics, as will be seen by our
correspondence, are likely to present an ex-
| citing field. Last Fall the Reform party car
ried the State and filled its offices. The
contest this year is principally for the Legis-
| lature, with reference to the struggles of
| Senator Carpenter for reelection. The record
of the salary grab also endangers at least one
of the Republican candidates for Congress
men. There is prospect of close fight In
most of the districts, and the issue is as yet
doubtful; the only thing evident at present
being that Mr.. Carpenters friendship for some
of the candidates may do them more harm
than his opposition.
The compromise at last effected at New
| Orleans accomplishes some part of what was
sought. The State Returning Board will be re-
constituted by two of its members retiring, and
their places being filled by representatives of
what is now designated as the Conservative
! Peoples party: the Republicans still hold,
however, the majority in the Board. Com
mttee has been appointed of an advisory
character, consisting of two of each party and
an umpire acceptable to both, to supervise and
carry on the registration Marshal Packard is
one of its members. Gov. Kellogg has OF his
own accord pledged himself to be guided by
| their advice.
A sudden and remarkable increase of small
pOx in this city is announced. The number
of cases week before last was 90: last week
| it was Az. There is epidemic disease more
| thoroughly under human control before it
acquires considerable proportions than the
smallpox, and none for which the sanitary
authorities can be held more entirely
responsible. The suggestion has been made
that the smallpox hospital on Blackwelps
Island, where the channel is exceedingly mar
row that separates it from the thickly popu-
lated part of our city known as Beekman
Hill, may be a focus from which the disease
is spreading and it is alleged that the infiu-
ence of the hospital in extending the small
pox in that vicinity has been traceable in
former visitations of the epidemic. The only
object of placing such a hospital on an island
is to have it out of position where its pres
ence is dangerous, and among the several
islands under municipal control surely one
might be selected on which this purpose can
