DOcroRs IN TROUBLE The Legislature OF
this State, at its last session, passed pretty
stringent act to regulate the practice of
medicine in Vermont. providing that no
person should practice medicine or surgery,
unless they had resided and been in prac-
tee IN the State five years, without first
obtaining certificate from a board of
censors. appointed by some medical society
authorized by the State, said Censors to be
elected at the annual meetings of the
society. As this act took effect at its
passage, and some of the annual meetings
OF these societies will not take place for
some time yet, numbers of doctors, have, it
IL sand. made themselves liable to a fine of
from $50 to $500. DIR. Ursn. Of Boston,
was taken before a justice. at st. Johns
bury, on Wednesday. on complaint of
violating this law. but appealed to a higher
court without hearing. claiming that he
had applied for a certificate, but that tho
society has not had its annual meeting.

GONE UP.-A Washington speciai
to the Cincinnati Gazette in relation
to the quo aodrrdnt0 proceedings in
the Florida courts, upon which the
Democrats place so much reliance,
the Republican members of the Com
mission say that if it should be held
that, by instituting such proceed
ings, beaten party can invalidate
the action of an electoral college,
there would be an end of the Presi-
Dental elections by the people. 1t
would always be possible to keep lit
igalion alive for three months after
the electors meet, by appeals and de-
lays, so that the 4th of March would
arrive before it could be decided
who has right to exercise the func-
tions of the electors. If the Florida
courts have the power to settle this
question of title to that effect it is
not yet settled, for while the Circuit
Court decided in favor of the Tilden
electors, the case has been appealed,
and the Supreme Court has not re-
scinded its decision. The absurdity
of the position that the courts can
make and unmake electors long after
the day, and the only day on which
they can perform the duties of their
office, was very clearly exposed by
Stanley Matthews in his speech on
the Both.

been identified by any article found
among the ruins. He had no means
knowing how many were on the of
train, except by the conductors re-
port, which shows one hundred and
twenty-eight adult passengers, six
train men, FIVE sleeping car hands,
three express men, two baggage
men and one news-bOy. Concerning
the rumo1ed orders about the use of
water on the fire, he says that he
did not issue any such orders, and
knows of no such orders being issued
by any officers of the company. He
further said that Mr.. Collins never
expressed any distrust of the safety
of the bridge to him, and on the con-
trary said to him that its only fault
in his opinion was its great surplus
of strength. 1t would have been
the duty of Mr.. Collins to have re-
ported the fact to him if he had con-
sidered it unsafe, and he says that
he thinks if Mr.. Collins had felt any
distrust in the bridge he would have
mentioned it to him very quickly.
Mr.. Collins was as faithful and of as
good judgment and as firm in con-
demning anything he considered un-
sound as any man he ever knew.
Miss Ettie Hamlin of Lafayette,
Ind, who was reported as killed,
writes to the coroner that she is
alive and well, not having been on
the train. The report started from
the finding of locket bearing her
name. Several similar cases have
been reported, and doubtless this is
not the last.
The inquest adjourned for other witness
es. 1t is thought that another day may
close up the examinations.

NEW YORK.

Eds. Tel.-The TELEGRAPH has found its
way to me each week, notwithstanding the
silence of myp speak now from Brook
lyn. After all that is said about hard
times, business in the twin cities of New
York and Brooklyn is far from being dead,
and money has tolerably free circulation.
Yet many of the poor and working classes
are suffering, and there is any amount of
begging. We hear much encouraging talk
about the times being easier. As the dark
est hour is just before day, light may soon
dawn upon us, and Hayes will come up
from the business horizon. Courage, then,
day is breaking!
The past week brought us a big thaw,
and the heavy coat of ice and snow that
covered the streets and walks has nearly
all disappeared. The ice upon the river,
broken up by the ferry boats, has melted
or foated down the bay and mingled with
the mighty ocean.
The great bridge that spans the East
River. goes on with rapid progress. The
two large piers on either side of the river
which lift their tall heads two hundred feet
high, are completed, and the work now is
the running of wires across and over the
tops of them. The great height of this
bridge, the reader will understand, is for
admitting the free passage under it of the
commerce of the great city, which is here
very considerable, the largest vessels pass
ing up and down the river at this point.
Your readers may imagine what sight it
will be, when this bridge is completed, to
stand upon it, at such height, and look
down upon the numerous vessels moving
about on the narrow stream, and the crowd
ed wharves adjacent, teeming with life and
activity in carrying on the commercial in
dustries of one Of the greatest maritime
cities of the world.
The store of Charles Higley & Co. is sit
uated on Washington street, 334, near the
North River, and freight depot of the Erie
Road. Their large trade is in butter, eggs,
poultry and game. Their sales amount to
daily average of $4,000. They have nine
men in their employ, and pretty busy at
that. The sale of rabbits has been extreme
ly large, this season. The sales of one
week were IS, 900 pairs, at 20 cents pair.
Poultry sells low for this time in the sea-
son. There is much poor stock coming
forward; we may, however, look for better
prices soon. HIG.

A Decision.

The Electoral Tribunal, by vote
of eight to seven, has decided in fa-
vor of the view taken by Mr.. Evarts
in his argument to the effect that it
will not enter into an examination
of the votes of the people of Florida,
and that only the certificates from
that State are properly before the
Commission. This shuts out the
