The Convention elected Dr. S. D. Hawkins, of
Americas, President, and Dr. O. H. Hall, of
Maoon, and Dr. Walker, of Monticello, Vice-
Presidents. Dr. William Duncan, of Savannah,
was also chosen Secretary.
Dra. Arnold, Walker and Wright were nomi
nated as the Committee on Credentials, and Drs.
Hinkle, Holt and Arnold to report matter for
tbe consideration of tbe Convention.
After the lapse of a few moments, the Com.
milteeon Resolutions, through Dr. Arnold, pre
sented a report, pending a discussion of which
a motion to adjourn nntil 2} o'clock prevailed.
From several informal votes upon minor ques
tions, it had become evident thqt the Atlanta
schismatics were in a majority, and from that
moment they carried everything with a high
hand.
In the afternoon session the resolutions of the
committee came up in their regular order, but

Arnold below:

And vrhereas. This unusual grant of power
had remained unknown to tho majority of the
medical profession in the State of Georgia until
the year 1868, when it was properly brought to
the notice of the Georgia Medical Association
by Dr. G. G. Crawford, at its annual meeting

Resolved by this Convention:
1. That tbe amendment to the charter on
wbioh the action of the Association was based,
was a fixed fact, the record of it being spread on
the 8tatute Book of the State, and that to say
an action based on it, “had in it an utter ab
sence of all the elements of truth/’ might ex-

to pass without further oomment, if it did not in-

did constitute tho only State Society in our bor
ders, and were therefore in the legitimate exer
cise of their rights and curies in endeavoring
to correct an abase in the deg roe-conferring
power.
Whereas, This subject matter was brought
up at the meelieg held at Savannah in 1869, and
an apology as follows wan tendered:
‘Dr. Orme then read the following communi
cation from the old Faculty of the AUanta Med
ical College:
‘Atlauta, Ga., April 10, 1869.
‘At a meeting of the Faculty of the Atlanta
Medical College of 1868, held ia the city of At
lanta March 16, 1869, the following resolution
wasuanimou-slyadopted, viz:
‘Resolved, That this Faculty disavow any
purpose to reflect upon the Medical Association
of Georgia, either in the ‘memorial’ presented
to the Legislature of 1868, or upon any other
occasion, and that our Representatives, who
may attend the meeting of said Association to
be held in the city of Savannah on the 14th
instant be, and they are hereby instructed to
present this disavowal, together with that con
tained in said memorial.’ By order of the Fac
ulty. Jesse Bobikq, M. D.,
Dean of the Faculty.
Wu. S. Abmsteong. M. D., Secretary.
On wnich the following resolution, among
others, was passed:
“Resolved, That a proper self-respect on the
part of this Association, requires of the former
Faculty of the Atlanta Medical College a distinct
and unequivocal withdrawal of the objectiona
ble language used in their recent momorial, and
such withdrawal must be through the public
journals of the State.”
Which was refused, and, in the afternoon of
the same day, Dr. Charters offered the follow
ing preamble and resolution :
“Whereas, The irregularity of which this As
sociation complained at its last session, in the
charter and management of the Atlanta Medi
cal College, has been removed by the action of
the last Legislature, and said College is now
conducted upon principles which this Associa
tion approve; be it
“Resolved, That the resolution adopted by the
Association at its 1 <st session, discrediting tho
diplomas of the Atlanta Medical College, shall
have no reference to diplomas that may be con
ferred by that institution hereafter.”
Dr. Harris moved to amend the resolution by
: adding the following:
“Provided the present Faculty, under the
new charter, will repnRate the aotion of the
Faculty existing at the time of the passage of
the resolution, duringthe meeting at Augusta.”
. This amendment was adopted, when tho pre
amble and resolution ware, on motion, adopted.
And whereas. When the meeting of the As
sociation took place at Maoon, April, 1870. a
commnnication from tte Trustees and Faculty
of the Atlanta Medioal College was read, and on
motion, was laid on the table and the following
resolution adopted:
“Whereas, The late Faculty of the Atlanta
Medical College, having failed to comply with
requirements of the “Georgia Medioal College”
at Savannah:
“Be it Resolved, Tha t their names be stricken
from Hie roll of membership of this Associa
tion, with the exception of Dr. A. Means. ■
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con-
vention the three meetings of the Association,
held regularly at Augusta, Savannah and Macon,
were regular meetings of the regularly organ
ized State Society, and any imputation on the
honor and integrity of the members who attend
ed these meetings is an unprovoked insult on
them, and on the profession at large in the
State. t f'ri
And, whereas. At the recent meeting at Amer
icas, ApriL 1871, while the former charge of
mere personal matters brought by the Atlanta
Medical College againRt the Association remain
nnretracted, that meeting passed tbe following:
‘Whereas, The controversy between the Fa
culty of the Atlanta Medical .Collge, the Atlanta
Academy of Medicine,-' tie Fulton County Med
ical Society, or members of the same, who are
members of this body, or between said bodies
or individuals and any other members of this
Association, are of a personal character, and
ought never to have been introduced into this
body.
“Therefore, Resolved, That all action of this
Association upon these controversies bo rescind
ed, and be no longer regarded as a part of tho
archieves of this body.”
Thereby reiterating tho offensive and insult
ing charge of “personal” motives.
Resolved by this Convention, That the three
mootings of the Association of 1868, 1869 and
1870, wore regular meetings of the only State
Society existing in our midst; that their actions
were in due accordance with parliamentary law
and their nnqnestionable rights, and that this
Convention hereby approves of them, and that
with this endorsement and approval of this
Convention, respectfully recommends to tho
next meeting of tho Association to revise and
rescind the action of the last meeting in rela
tion to the preceding meetings.
Resolved, That this Convention will not en
tertain any matter pertaining to any disputes
outside of the Georgia Medical Association; and
in their action at present they claim to act with
sole view to tho preservation of the peace,
dignity and honor of the medical profession in
the State of Georgia.

that they are nothing more than sheer gambling,
we might state that of the 86,000 bales sold in New

Bestir Yourselves.—There are is no denying
the fact there are many bad pavements and
sidewalks in Macon, which, under an ordinance
of the City Council, it is made the duty of the
Chairman of the Street Committee, to have re
paired, either by the owner of the property, or,
if they fail; by the city. The excuse has been
offered all along that no brick conldbe obtained
to lay pavements, and the Chairman of the
Street Committee has, therefore, been indul
gent. Now, however, plenty of bricks can be
obtained, both at the yards of Sparks & Knight
and Anderson & Ballard, and longer indulgence
will not be granted. So, bestir yourselves if
you would • prefer to do your own paving and
repairing, or the city will do it for yon, and
present the bill to you for payment.
Buggy Smashed.—A horse, attaohed to a light
wagon, ran away with it, yesterday, and, in
his flight, ran against the buggy of Mr. I. O.
Plant, who was driving along the street. The
collision frightened Mr. Plant’s horse, and it,
too, ran away, badly smashing the buggy. For
tunately, Mr. Plant escaped unhurt, by leaping
from the buggy at the moment of the collision.
We overheard a conversation between two
gentlemen the other day in relation to the
weather. One complained of the extreme heal,
and other npbraided him for so doing, remark

The low barometer wMch existed Tuesday af
ternoon in upper Canada, has moved northward
beyond oar stations. Tho barometer fell de
cidedly in the New England States, and light
rains was reported from Massachusetts and Ver
mont. The pressure remains Mgh off the south
Atlantic coast and has rison in the Gulf States.
The barometer hns fallen during the day west
of Indiana and Michigan, and is now lowest
from Missouri to Wisconsin. Southwesterly
winds have prevailed generally daring the day
from Lake Michigan to Kentucky, and eastward
with occasional northwesterly local winds.
Southerly winds are reported in the Southern
States. Cloudy and rainy weather have this af
ternoon spread from Minnesota southward to the
Missouri River. Local rains are reported from
North Carolina, and clear weather in the Middle

Probabilities: It is probable that falling ba
rometer with light rains and fresh southwesterly
winds will advance during to-night, and Thurs
day, as far as Lako Huron. Partially cloudy
and pleasant weather are probable for the East
ern States. Southerly winds will probably con
tinue on tho south Atlantio coast with cloudy

SARSAPARILLA
WITH IODIDE OF POTASH.
Prepared witli scientific ac
curacy from tlie purest
materials.
The gTeat alterative and blood purifier, a certain
remedy and cure for Scrofnla, or King’s Evil, Ca-
rids of the Bone, Pimples, Boils, and all Eruptions
of the skin, arising from impure blood, Costive
Habit, Kidney Disease, Dyspepsia, or Indigestion,
Rheumatism, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Female
Irregularities, Fistula, Piles, Syphilis, or Seconda
ry Syphilis, and all disorders arising from the im
prudent use of Mercury.
Read the following certificate from a mechanic,
well known. It attest s its wonderful power in skin
diseases:
De. Hurley—Sir—My children have had erup
tions all over the body for many months. It was
frightfully bad on tho face and head, and I thought
it would remain during life. What was to be done ?
I doctored them, and I gave them everything I
heard or could think of—but all of no account. I
tried your Sarsaparilla, and in loss than one week I
had the happiness of observing them improve in
health, and the disease disappearing. It has been
observed by every one about here, and it is well
known your medicine was the means. They are
now, thank God, perfectly well.
JOHN O’SULLIVAN.
Grayson and Seventh Streets, Louisville, Ky.
De. Hubley—Sir—I find your Sarsaparilla to
possess more eificacy than any medicine I have ever
used. It ia highly beneficial in Scrofnla, Debilily,
Rheumatism, and many other diseases, and I have
perfect confidence in it as a curative agent.

POP'DLAB WORM GANDY.
Is really what it claims to be—a specific, remov
ing all kinds and varieties of worms from the hu
man viscera of young or old. No harmful effect
from its use. No danger from an overdose—chil
dren all love it.
Messrs. Jas. Ruddle A Co—Gentlemen—It gives
me great pleasure to say, after using all the other
worm remedies known to me. with but partial suc
cess to my children, I was advised to try Dr. T. A.
Harley’s, and since using it, my children have be
come quite well and healthy. The children would
eat it all the time, (it is so pleasant,) if we wonld
let them. I believe it is one of the beat and Baf est
remedies known, and as such, recommend it to one
and all. JAMES W. TRAVIS.
Louisville, July 3d, 1868.
HURLEY’S
STOMACH BITTERS.
Is the remedy, par excellence, for all diseases
arising from Debility, Disordered Stomach, Loss
of Appetite, Torpid Fever, Indigestion, and all
kindred ailments, where a gentle and permanent
stimulant is required. It fortifies the system
against the trying effects of changes of climate and
seasons and invigorates and vitalizes failing nature,
and is a sure preventive of Chills and Fever.
To James Ruddle & Co,, Louisville, Ky.
Gentlemen—This is to certify that I have been
for years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics I have
heard of or seen advertised, with little or no relief
from any one of them. I heard Hurley’s Bitters
very highly spoken of, and tried a bottle, with little
faith in it before I commenced, and to my surprise
and joy, before I finished one bottle I felt a great
deal better, and firmly believe that on one or two
occasions, it was the means of saving and prolong
ing my lire. I conscientiously recommend them to
all snfferers as the best Bitters known, and advise
them always! to ask for Br. T. A. Hurley’s, and
have no other.
You can use this as you think proper, if it will be
of benefit to others. Yours, truly, etc.,
JOHN W. DIXSON.

New Albany, Ind., May 28,1868.
Messrs. Jas. Raddle & Co.:
Dear Sirs: I was afflicted with ague for months,
perhaps a year or more. Your Hurley’s Ague Ton
ic was recommended by a friend. I got a bottle
immediately and commenced taking it according to
direetions, and have not been troubled with a thill
since. I am satisfied if it be taken according to
directions, it will cure any caao of tho ague. I re
commend it to all suffering.
