this morning by d, B. Holmes, attorney
for G. L. Henderson, of Kansas City,
against DR.. L II. Gregory, ct al, consti-
tuting the State Board Of Health 1t
APPEARS that the relator, Henderson, is a
graduate OF a legally chartered
medical school Of Chicago and holds q
diploma from the same; that In Sep
tember, 1853, after complying with
the law in presenting his certificate he
was denied a certificate from the Board,
aad this proceeding is to compel the
Board to grant the same. 1t appears
that the va dity OF his diploma was not
questioned, but that the certificate was
denied on the ground that he Violated a
certain rule prohibiting physicians from
advertising in the papers to make a

which is held by d certain class Of physi

WILMINGTON, N. c., October 23.-Late
last night while General Alfred NJ. Scales,
Democratic candidate for Governor, was
addressing a large meeting, including
many ladies, in front of the City Hall,
q procession of negroes, who had
been attending Republican meet
ing in another part of the city,
passed within few feet Of the Demo
cratic meeting and acted in so disorderly
a manner that they compelled the meet
ing to suspend proceedings. Stones
were thrown at the speakers stand, one
of them narrowly missing General Scales
aud one striking In the breast Colonel
John N Staples, Democratic candidate
for Elec or-at-Large.
The affair has created intense indigul-
tion and there Is much excitement on the
streets to-day. The meeting appointed
Committee to wait upon the prominent
white Republican leaders and inform
them that they would be held responsible
for any repetition Of the outrage.
