Letter from Richmond.

GCorrcspondence Of the AleIGndrla Gazetto.J
RICHMOND, VA, jan 20. 1S77.-The ply
sicians here and in ether portions OF the State
arc down On the House OF Delegates because
that wise body dismissed HE bill to establish a
Board 0! Medical Examiners in Virginia. This
bill provided that every graduate in medicine
should cot be allowed to practice until he passed
an examination by this board. The bill was
not tic idea Of Richmond doctors, but was
recommended by the Medical Society OF Vir-
piua. The Medical Monthly says:
"The bill to establish Board Of Medical Ex'
amipcrs 10 Virginia was reported iaVorabIy by
the committee, and was ably advocated by some
Of its friends when brought up in the House
of Delegates. After considerable discussion,
however, the bill was dismissed, one OF the
grand arguments against the bid being that 1t
was . Richmond city scheme. Such remarks
show how omparatlVely little has been done
by the country physicians generally to Instruct
their legislators and how faithfully tho probes
sion Of this city has done what it could for the
success Of The measure. IT the unanimously
aloptcd resolutions Of the State Medical Socic-
ty on this subject mean anythlng-lf the pro-
lcssiOu il really in earnest about this matter,
seeking to benefit the communities in winch
they live, aud 10 elevate the standard OF the
profession, let them now net. Physicians WELD

More Frauds.

New YORK, Jan. 30.-To-day's Times says:
Custom House officers have for several years
been Convinced that vast system oil fraud by
false Invoices was being carried on by importers
doing business 10 this city and in other trade
ceutrcs OF the country. Certain firms IN this
city, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago
and ST. Louis, have been set down as traudu
lent importers, yet nothing oil the nature of
legal proof Of these things could be obtained.
Investigation, however, proved to the satl5tac
ton 81 the authorities that an association eX.
ised and Indicated also that this association
had mcmbers in most Of the principal cities OF
Europe, and agents even among the revenue
officials. When the great frauds committed
by Lawrence and his accompllces were exposed
it was definitely ascertained that certain Of our
consuIs were lcagucd with dishonest merchants,
and that with their aid goods exported to this
country were UNDERMINED and invoices falsltied
| so adrOltp that detection was almost lmposSl-
| bic. Secretary Fish selected Arthur B. Wood,
| Chief OF the Consulate Bureau of the State
Department., to 90 to Europe secretly and make
ligid inquiry into the affairs OF our c0Dsulatea
| in the prlnc pal scaports Of Great Britain.
France and Germany Viz. Wood left New York
| 10 August last aud succeeded 10 procuring evil
| dence oil the frauds which had been suspected.
and District Attorney Woo1lord is now employ.
cd in peractiug aad arranging the evidence.
When the suits are tried ,ahemc OF fraud will
be revealed greatly exceeding n extent, skill
and success that Of Lawrence and his associates.
At least three New York firms will be exposed
whose members have amassed very large sums
| by their connection with the system. Exactly
who those defaulters are cannot yet Be revealed.

The Supreme Court CT the United States
Yesterday decided case in way that some

an officer does not cease 10 be an cheer until
his successor has hecu appointed and qualified

Mr.. Watts lost his election in Oregon and
Mr.. Cronin won his. The case was that OF
Badger and others W. uuited States, on the
relation Of Bocs and Others. This is writ Of
error to the northern circuit of Illinois from
Judgment granting the REALTORS mandamus
against plaintiffs as officers Of the town of
hubry, in Illinois, compelling them to audit
certain Judgment. The officers had resigned
their positions and their designations had been
accepted but their SUCCESSORS had not been ap-
pointed and qualified, as provided by the law
of the State, and it is therefore held that they
had not ceased to be such officers, and that the
mandamus was properly issued. The judy

him whether he could not figure up to throw
out It's votes Lttlefeld took the return, and
after looking it over told Wells that precincts

If tho Virginia bondholders desire TO advance

proposition as that lately proposed in New York
