| The State Homeopathic Medical Society,
which met in this city yesterday, denounced
vigorously the displacement of homeopathic
medical officers at the MiddletOwn Insane
Asylum, and declared that by thus taking the
| institution out of homeopathic control provl-
sions of the charter were violated. In the
evening, members of the Society Joined with
other believers in Homeopathy in celebrating
the semi-centeDnial of the introduction OF that
school of medicine into this country, and re-
viewed with pardOnable pride the great pro-
| gress it has made in America within hail.

In less than a month Gen. Kaufman has
smbducd Khokand, and entered the capital OF
that country. This is the third of the Khan
ates of Central Asia which Russia has subdued
since in 1861, she began to make strides east
ward in that quarter. She has now quarrel
on her hands with the famous YakOob Khan
of Kashgar, and will doubtless settle 1t by
| conouering that country also. Possessed OF
Kashgar. the Car would be lord of the whole
of Asia as far east as China and as far south
"a India. Afghanistan, and Persia. The Rus
slams are slow civilizers. but in material
sense the world may gain eventually by thus

In another column will be found the details
of the Indictment against George d. Lord for
receiving a bride to influence his vote on the
Hand award. Messrs. Bowman, Davis Bennett,
and Barley are also under indictment with
Mr.. Lord for conspiracy to defraud the
State. This Black Rock HarbOr busl-
ness is among the darkest OF the
exposures in the war against the Canal Ring
and there is a good prospect that the prosecu-
ton will be vigorously pushed. Bribery TO
secure legislation is usually one of the most
difficult offenses to prove, and it is a matter
for congratulation that in the present case such
straightforward evidence has been elected.
The earlier advices from Texas gave reason
to hope that, however great the destruction OF
property, there was comparatively little loss OF
life by the cyclone which swept the Gulf coast
last week. But q more terrible story than
that of Galveston is now received. The re-
port is that the town Of 1ndianola has been
almost entirely destroyed, and that more than
one hundred lives have been lost by its inun-
dation. IndianOla is the capital Of Calhoun
| County, and is situated on the west shore of
Matagorda Bay. The population of the place
was about 2,OOO.'s The villages of Saluria,
| Cedar Lake, and Matagorda are also reported
devastated. Such a visitation as this flood
must be followed by great suffering among
the surviving inhabitants. Should call for
pecuniary assistance be made, Texas may be
sure of a liberal contribution from this Sec
ton for the relief of the distressed
Postmaster General Jewell finds that the
course of true Reform does not run as smoothly
as might be wished in the matter OF the
Boston Post-Offi The story of tho short
comings of Mr. Burt, the present incumbent,
has become very familiar to the average news
| paper reader, and Mr.. Jewell has given him
the broadest kind of hints that his room is
better than his company. Still Mr.. Burt holds
on to the Office like grim death. on the high
moral ground that his retirement would cost
the approaching election in Massachusetts. 1t
would seem that this is good opportunity
for the President to carry out his reputed
sound ideas on Civil Service Reform without
danger of being thwarted by Congress- But
the President probably has not time to look
into the matter He has been to Long Branch
| and other Summer resorts and Is about to so
| to Colorado.
Police Superintendent Walling denies that
he refused 10 cooperate with private de-
tective agency in the search for Charley Ross,
and asserts that on the private detectives lies
the responsibility of a lack of united effort, as
they declared that they would have nothing
to do with either the NewYOrk or
Philadelphia police in the matter. J The
Superintendent admits, ?, however, ~ that
he afterward kept something which he
heard about the abductOrs, MOsher and Doug
lass. from Mr. Ross and his friends, in order
that it might not reach the private detectives.
In an interview, printed in another column,
the Superintendent gives some interesting de-
tails of the pursuit of Mosher and Douglass and
of the manner in which he was misled by
Westervelt Mr.. Walling states that he has
not vet made up his mind whether to believe
Charley Ross dead or alive now, but we think
most readers will sadly admit that the reasons
he mentions for thinking the lost child dead
are stronger than those given for supposing
him to be still alive.
| In the Toledo letter which we PRINT to-day
there are some significant expressions of opin-
ion from the Rag-MOney candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio. There has been good deal of
