The Medical School, opened Thursday,

This will increase more or less for q week
or two undoubtedly. Prof. Gerrish OF
Portland delivered the opening address,
which was considered very able. Prof.
Carmichael gives = lecture daily on phys
les and chemistry to the medical students,
which the senior class OF the College At
tend. They go 10 a half hour before the

merce; and manufactures.

Those who have followed the ihves-
tigation OF The cipher dispatches To tie
present time cannot fail OF being struck
with the force of the following tom the
New York Tribune:
The cipher inquiry has "a practical
importance which some people are slow
to appreciate. Ii Is not pursued from
motives Of idle curiosity or OF personal
enmiiy. II j. likely to determine whs
shall be the next President OF the United
States. Ii is likely TO settle the question
whether the Government shall pass into
the hands OF the party which tried TO
destroy the Union and which il now
trying TO reverse the results of the war,
or shall be retained in the charge of the
party which saved the Union. the party
which is committed TO the defence OF ma
iional honor. justice, peace. progress
and equal rights. The conspiracy dis
closed by the cipher dispatches was so
base. so daring. SO franght with danger
10 free institutions. that the inquiry
ought not 10 stop until the remotest
qualifications Of the plot have been laid
bare. II is not enough that disgrace
has oyertaken the few men who figure
were only the agents in the affair, not
the principals. They only negotiated
the brides; some higher authority stood
behind them with the money Perhaps
a committee OF Congress might have got
at the bottom facts, il it had begun in
season; but at this late hour the discov.
cry OF the full truth must depend largely
upon discussion in the newspapers
Already the debate has had one very
serious effect. IL has placed Tie Demo-
cratic party in the dilemma OF either
convictng It's leader and candidate of an
outrageous frand-which it will not do;
or of voting him resolution OF acquit-
tal-which wonld inevitably make him
the leader of the party again. Either
| choice would be distssteiul to the De-
mocracy. Either would be observed
with great satisfaction by the Republi.
cans. We could desire nothing better
than campaign with Tilden as the
Democratic candidate; unless il were a
campaign In which the Democratic party
I started out with an acknowledgment
that its reform candidate was such dis
graceful old cheat that il could not run
him again. Repudisted or indicated.
Mr.. Tilden has been made by the cipher
| discussion the great obstacle TO Demo
cratic success in 1880.
1t should be remembered that the dis
cussion has not only proved that Weed,
Pelton, Marble aud Woolley were ready
to buy the Presidency for the Democrat
ic candidate, but il has satisfied all rea-
sonable persons that somebody was
ready to pay the money which they
promised. II Mr.. Tilden 10 10 be ac-
quilted OF direct scquiescence in the
scheme upon whom then will suspicion
fall? The Democracy cannot relieve
their candidate without, throwing ter.
rible discredit upon their National Com
mittee- or upon come Of the leading men
of the party. We must no; lose sight of
the fact that the rsscality was concocted
some where on the premises, and il
chiefly concerns them to decide which

beat them by the Infamous ruse Of
concentrating their forces in another
direction. thus violating the promises
made. How true this may be re-
mains to be seen. but in the mean

it that the lack At his vote shall not
