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 before any discussion or argument could be VrACK BROTHERS had upon their merits, the anti-Convention ma- .

We print the strangled resolutions offered by Dr. Arnold below: Whereas, The Legislature of the State of Georgia did, in the year 1858, make the follow ing amendment to tho chartor of the, Atlanta Medical College, viz: , ‘The Professors and Trustees shall consti tute a Board, who are hereby authorized and 5ir> and 567 IJroadway, N.

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.

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.

Receipts for the woek ending this evening, 55 bales; sales 181; shipments 193. The market has been steady with a good demand for middlingB at 19 cents thronghont the weak end ing this evening. The offerings have been light and whenever a few samples of good cotton were put upon the boards, they were immediately taken. Contracts for futures in New York have experi enced little change since the date of our last weekly review. They closed to-day at 18% for October and 18% for December. As an evidence of the wholly unreliable character of such operations, and to show that they are nothing more than sheer gambling, we might state that of the 86,000 bales sold in New York during the last week, 71,000 were for future delivery.

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 ing that he never suffered at alL Why so, was the anxious inquiry.

Thanks.—The ladies of Mulberry Street Meth odist Church request us to tender their thanks to Professor B. B. Euston, of the Georgia Prac- tieal Business College, for the use of Ayres’ Hall, in which to hold their late festival; and also to Mr. B. A. Wise, for the use of a large amount of his crockery. The Memthis DisTRniunoN.—By reference to oar advertising columns it will be seen that the managers of the Real Estato Distribution of Memphis, have postponed the drawing until August 31st. Their reasons are manly and sufficient. They will ask no more time. New Enterprise.—We see that the Peyser brothers have opened a cigar manufactory on Poplar street, in the rear of M. Glass’s store In a short while they expect to run it on a large scale. Cotton Boll.—A young friend handed us a cotton boll yesterday fully as large as a guinea fowl’s egg. It grow on his place near this city and i 3 the largest boll we have seen this season. Judge Geo. M. Logan, since our last issue, has been lying in a very critical and uncon scious condition.

M. > 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 and Eastern States. 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 weather in the interior. Disturbances merely local are not considered. New York, June 5.—At Jefferson Market Po lice Court this morning, Aaron Bradly, colored Senator from Georgia, charged Samuel L. Har ris, financial inspector of the National Freed man’s Saving and Trast Company, of this city, with cheating him out of $50. Complainant stated that on the 17th of June last he deposi ted $150 in the hank in question. On subse quently looking back, Bradly found that only S100 had been entered.

HURLEY’S Compound Syrup of 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. GEO. GRAY, M. D. Covington. 3BCO-3=3LXji ZEITT 7 ® 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. Louisville, Ky., Dec. 10, 1868. HURLEY’S AGUE TONIC!

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.
