Dr. Myers, of Savannah, on the part of the commiilce appointed for revision of the Con stitution and By-laws, read before the Associ ation a carefully prepared Constitution and By-Laws for the government of the organiza tion; which, after some amendments,' the dis. mission ol'which consumed the entire morning, was finally adopted. Dr. Ridley, Chairman of the Committee to appoint Delegates to the American Medical Association, reported the following, which was adopted, viz: The committee to whom was referred the subject of the propriety and expediency of the representation of the Georgia Medical As sociation in the American Medical Association, soon to assemble in Washington City, have had the same under comideration, and after mature deliberation and without going into a lengthy argument to sustain the conclusions to which they have arrived, ask leave to offer the follow ing resolutions for the action if the Georgia Medical Association : Resolved, That 111.'

Resolved, That each delegate herein appoint ed shall have full power to appoint his proxy when lie shall ascertain that he will not be able to attend in person the meeting of the Ameri can Medical Association. The following local Medical Societies, through their delegates, made reports to the Georgia Medical Association : Fulton county Medical Society, Macon Medical Society, Geor gia Medical Society, Savannah, Clarke county Medical Society, Atlanta Medical Society, Medi cal Society of Augusta. The following resolutions were introduced by Dr. Crawford : Wiikkas, Section VI of a bill incorporating the Atlanta Medical College reads as follows ; Be it further etiaefed by the authority afore said, That the Trustees, together with the regular Professors, shall constitute a Board, who are hereby authorized and empowered to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine upon such applicants, in such manner, and at such times, and under such circumstances, as may to the Board seem lit and proper; provided the applicants shall have attended two full cours< s of lectures iu said College, or one in said Col iege, and one in some other respectable Medical College or University. Aud whereas this section of the bill was amended by an act of the same authority to read; The amended charier reads : The Professors and Trustees shall constitute n Board, who are hereby authorized and empowered to con fer the degree of Doctor of Medicine upon such applicants, in such manner, at such times, and under such circumstances, as may to the Pro lessors seem fit and proper ; and the said Pro fessors shall hare power to change the chair of, remove, or fill (he voeancy by the resignation, or otherwise, of any member of their Faculty. And whereas the Trustees reject this amend ment and decline to recognize the gentlemen appointed a6 Professors under its provisions ; aud whereas the trustees decline allowing their names to appear in connection with the an nouncement lor the next course of lectures ; bo it, therefore. Resotved , That this Association, having adopted the Code of Ethics ot the American Medical Association, cannot recognize the At lanta Medical College as a regular institution, nor such persons as may hereafter graduate under the present provisions of that College as Doctors of Medicine. Dr. L. A. Dugas moved that the resolution be referred to a committee of three, to report at the next annual meeting of the Association. This motion was lost, and after some discus sion further consideration of the subject was postponed until the afternoon session. On motion of Dr. Thomas, the meeting ad journed to 53 4% P- m - AFTERNOON SESSION —Bjtj, V. M. Meotiug called to order by Vice-President, Dr. E. 8. Ray.

The meeting having again been called to order, the following was presented by Dr. Sam. White, chairman of committee : Whereas, The above amended charter con fers uuusual and extraordinary powers upon the Faculty of the Atlanta Medical College, whereby they are authorized to confer the de gree of M. D. on persons, regardless of time or condition, save as to said Faculty seem fit aud proper; therefore, Resolved , That we cannot recognize the graduates of said College that may hereafter re ceive their diplomas under the amended charter aloresaid.

Ford, the following papers, which elicited con siderable discussion; and several interesting cases reported by oilier members, and upon motion were ordered to be spread upon the minutes. Upon motion, meeting adjourned to meet at 10, a. in., April 10. Free Speech !—A Foretaste of Radical Rule.— The following is a copy oi a hand-hill posted in the shops of the State Road, in At lanta. Comment is unnecessary. It is con trary to orders to constrain or restrain ne groes, but for white mechanics it is different: Western and Atlantic Railroad, i Office of Superintendent, £ Atlanta, Ga., April 0,1868. 5 To the Officers and Employees of the 1 Vestern and Atlantic Railroad: While it is neither desired nor expected by the Major General Comanding, and the Provi sional Governor, that the privilege of ex pressing opinions or preferences relative to political matters should be denied the officers and employees ol this road, they nevertheless require that all connected with the road, in anv capacity whatever, shall abstain from becoming active partisans in the present contest foi the offices of Governor, members of Congress, Are. X am glad Lo be able to say that this order is not the result oi anything exceptional in your conduct, but is simply precautionary in this time oi political excitement; and 1 take this occasion to report, what 1 have heretofore per Dually urged on al! connected with this road, that while you thiuk for yourselves, speak your own sentiments, and vote in accord ance with your own convictions, you rigidly abstain from all excited and unprofitable dis cussions in the offices, shops, on the ears, or elsewhere. Continue to be faithful in the dis charge of your duties, and quiet, courteous and geutlemauJy in your intercourse with others. Campiiell Vi allace, Superintendent. Merely a Question. — In these days of orders from these head quarters we hope it will not be deemed rebellious or seditious to ask the great and magnanimous commander of this part of the great and glorious free Republic of America a single question, and we ask it with unbounded belief that the great and magnani mous commander of this small portion of the great Republic ol Freedom, including free speech and a free press, will decide it with that sacred regard to the rights of all !>:s subjects which lias characterized ail the orders issued from these headquarters; and the questio i is this: Is it inflammatory or endangering the peace ol society font political party to mar shal its adherents in military array, with drawn weapons, marching in .military order, to the music of the drum and life; if not, will what is sauce for the goose be. equally palatable to the gander V Radical Pow wow. —There were about two thousand blacks in convention at the City Hall, yesterday, (Thursday,) led on by a lew whites.

The Oration Last Night.—There was a very good audience present last night in the Presbyterian Lecture Room to hear the oration before the Georgia Medical Association, deliv ered by Dr. J. G. Thomas, of Savannah. The orator spoke at length atf^to the point, being frequently interrupted by the applause of his hearers. After the oration the members of the Asso ciation and a number of invited guests repaired to the Planters' Hotel to discuss a banquet to which they had been invited Tty the medical fraternity and a number of other citizens of Augusta. We regret that the lateness of the hour and the crowded state of our columns precludes the possibility of recording many of the good things said on the occasion. The Meeting Last Night.— A large aud enthusiastic gathering of the Democracy look place last night at the City Hall, to listen to tie speech of Dr. Ridley on the issue before the people of Georgia. After the Doctor con cluded, in response to repeated calls, General Wright addressed the meeting in a telling speech, eliciting repeated aud loud applause. The Democracy of Richmond county is be ing fully awakened, and will give a good re sponse to the cheering news from upper Geor gia- Insurance. —The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of' our young friend and fellow-townsman Mr. VV.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. Congressional. Washington, April 9. Senate.— No busiuess was transacted before the impeachment. The reading of the journal was dispensed with, and Mr. M. H. Wood, of Alabama, who had been in the Union army, testified regarding Mr. Johnson’s refusing him office because he favored Congress. Noster Blodgett had both his commissions as postmaster of Augusta, Ga., with him. Blod gett cannot learn that the reasons for his sus pension were sent to the Senate. The defense opened. Mr. Curtis spoke un til nearly four o’clock, when, at his request, the hall being larger than he was accustomed to. the court adjourned without division. The Senate went into executive session aud adjourned. House. — A resolution having in view the re conciliation of South American difficulties was referred to the Judiciary Committee, when the House went to the impeaehmeutandadjourned. ~W ashington. Washington, April 9—Noon. llouse. No Legislation. Senate. —The court opened. On assembling, after reading the Journal, Mr. Butler called other witnesses ; among them, Blodgett, who testified regarding his removal from the post mastership at Augusta. He knew nothing beyond the fact, that he bad been suspended. Mr. Butler asked for a certificate that no reasons had been given for Blodgett’s suspen sion. The defense made the point that Blodgett’s case was outside the charges made against the President. At a quarter to 1 o’clock, Judge Curtis com menced his argument. Washington, April 9—P. M. Mr. Curtis was listened to throughout with marked attention, especially by members of the conrt. Some of his points were startling. He left it with Senators whether they were act ing in a legislative or judicial capacity. The substance of the first, on which the eight charges were based, was, that the removal of Stauton and the appointment of Thomas was, aud was intended to be, in violation of the tenure of office act and the Constitution. He denied both propositions, aud among other authorities quoted statements of members of the conference committee. Schenek, in making z report to the House, used the words “ term of service.” It might as well be said that a King completed the term of bis predecessor, who had died, as to say that Mr. Johnson was serving out Lincoln’s term. Curtis proceeded, showing that beads ot de partments were the voice and hands of the President. He argued that heads of depart ments did not, in fact, could not constitution ally come, under (be tenure of office bill, that their exception was well understood by Sena tors ; and noticed (lie absurdity of charging the President with high crime and misdemeanor for acting in accordance with the publicly express ed views of Senators. iiis argument that the President’s action was in accordance with pre cedents and tlie Constitution is too compact in its elaboration for condensation. Curtis, arguing the necessity of the power claimed by the President, instanced Floyd’s dis placement by President Buchanan, where delay would have led to deplorable results. Arguing on the President’s duty to maintain his pre rogatives, he said, a trustee would combat an unconstitutional law which worked injury to those whose rights lie had in trust, but it Was much more the President’s duty to guard the trusts placed in his hands by all the people. Such, was the duty nobly fulfilled bv Ilamplin, when he opposed the payment of ship money. Recapitulating his arguments to prove (hut. the President could not be impeached for an act designed to procure a judicial decision, he quoted Butler, to show that the managers ad mitted this view, who said the removal in itself was perhaps notan impeachable ofl'euse, if made with that motive, and not accompanied with a defiant message to Hie Senate. Mr. Curtis said it was a matter of taste how they should be notified. Mr. Curtis argued to adjournment that rules of estopel showing things ihatthe President had done and said on these matters did not apply in this ease. The Congressional Executive Committee de cline taking steps to induce Holden to with draw from the N-jilii Caro linn Gubernatorial race. The alleged cause of inaction is the ab sence of many members. Gen. Sherman listened to Curtis’ speech. It. is said that Dr. Peter Bayne, the negro of the Vitginia delegation, who visited Grant, threatened him that he would get no votes iu Virginia unless he adopted a certain policy. Grant rung for an orderly, through whom Bayne was informed that Grant had given him all the time he luid to spare. Grant, lias issued no orders regarding the Ku-Klnxs. Connecticut. Hartford, April 9. Collected returns make English’s majority 1,7155. "Virginia. Richmond, April 9. In the convention to-day, another resolution to invite Sergeant Bates to visit that body was defeated. A resolution to adjourn on the 17th inst. was adopted. Relief propositions were debated. Bates was among the spectators to-day. Bontli Carolina. Charleston, April 9. Charleston and other districts were not rep resented in the recent Democratic Convention at Columbia, and the people heie dissent from its policy, and do not consider themselves bound by its action. Commodore Prentice, U. S. N., died on the South Carolina Railroad yesterday. Alabama. Montgomery, April 9. A close estimate shows that no cottouja in the State except at warehouses. In Mont gomery warehouses there are about 2,500 bales. There was another heavy frost last night and vegetation is injured. The political pulse is quiet. An important decision has been given to Judge Arrington, of the City Court. The ease arose on the following tacts in 1862: The State of Alabama advanced to the Arm Manufactur ing Cos. §250,000 in State bonds, for the purpose ot enabling the company to build an arsenal and to manufacture arms, but as the purpose of the State, was to arm Confederate soldiets the contract was to be held null and void. The suit was brought in the name ot the Governor. Texas. Galveston, April 9. A destructive tire occurred at Huntsville, Texas, on the uiglit of the 7th; one entire block destroyed; loss estimated at, IflOO.ppO; insured for $20,000 in the Underwriters’ Agency, New York.

If Queen Victoria lives as long as Iter grandfather, George 111., her reign will ex tend into the twentieth century. Though the Queen has been uearly thirty years on the throne, she is not yet forty-nine years of age; and should she prove as long-lived as were all others of the Hanoverian Brit ish sovereigns, she will remain on the throne long after the greater part of this generation have passed away. George I. died at sixty-seven, George 11. at seventy seven, George 111. at eighty-two, George IV. at sixty-eight, and William IV. at sev enty-two. ' They are a long-lived race, the Guelphs, one of them, George 111., dying in the sixtieth year of his reign, the longest reign in English history. He was eighty one years, seven months and sixteen days old when he departed this life, and the same number of years, months and ‘days vouchsafed to Queen Victoria would cause her death to fail on the 4th of January, 1901. By that time Wales will have sown the most of his wild oats. Suicide of Mrs. Charlotte Jordan.— Suicides seldom happen in our community, and when they do they arrest universal atten tion and excite a great deal of comment. A melancholy death of this character occurred yesterday, the particulars of which arc as fol lows : Oil Monday flight Mrs. Charlotte Jordan, a widow lady living on the corner of Poplar and Fifth streets, took a large dose ol morphine for the avowed and confessed purpose ol put ting an end to her lite. The act did not be come known until late at night or early Tues day morning, when Dr. Passmore was called in. He found the patient in au almost hopeless condition, and in spite ot powerful restoratives promptly administered, she died in a few hours. [ Macon Journal and Messenger, 9 lh.
