Tuley wanted Dickey to begin. Dickey was equally eolicicous_for Taley to pro- ceed, while Root was convenieatly out of the way. After considerablo solicitation, MR. TOLEY sgreed to make the desorted room resound with his eloguenca. At the ontset Mr. Tuley said the Court wonld see from the history of the case that it wasa struggle ou the part of & few porsons dissp- pointed in the last election to force the city ioto » poeition where an issue could be rested on some technical question not affecting the metics of the real question, and thereby avoid the 1ssus tendered them, viz.; whethera majority of the votes cast at the election were for or against the sdoption of- the charter. Counsel would noi accept that as tho rea] issue, but would have them think that the merits consisted in the per- formauce or non-performance of a directory command of the Iaw by an officer charged with ‘tgn;' particular duty. Tbe matter was getting A VERY BROAD FARCE. It had been Indicrous from its beginning, and he thought they bad & nght to refer to soma notorious facss in this connection to possess His Hooor of all the aspects of the case. There was now, and bad been for some time, pending conteat under the staiate by two of the relators in this easo, togetber with two or three other citizens, members of the same organization, filed io the County Court, and in which no movement had taken place swrca the filing of the petition and demurrer. Tuere was aiso o conteet under the statute by the same parties by petition in the Circuit Court, clammng that a majority of votes was given AGAINET THE ADOPTION of the act. Both these petitions were bassd on the eame groonds, complainants being snxious to get the right jurisdiction. Anotber bill was filedin the Court of Chancery., These three bills were pending, and they sought 2lso to con- test the election indirectly by this quasi-criminal proceedings. Complainants assumed (o repre- sent the people, which circumstance remmnded him of the three taiors of Tuley street. Mr. Pence—There wore nine tailors. Mr. Tuley—I thought there were thres. In our case there are tive of about the same cali- ro of mmnd. He repeated that the case was becoming & farco when took balf sn hour to state the proceedings; when ihey made a little more progress it would tase n hiour and a balf to state, and what wonld it be then ? If the thid plea was bad, it illuatrated that the information itseif was bad. Thes ask- ed the city to justify the exercise of privileges and frapchizes conferred by the act of 1872 without specifviog what privileges and fran- chises. Delendants set up i their plea that it was provided by Art. 9 that the Common Coan- ¢il of any city might adapt the provisions of that article without adopting the privileges of the whoie act, by passiog an ordinance to that effect. 1t was necessary for the informa~ tion to set forth what franchisos had been uvsurped, Nothing had been dqge by the city ‘which could not be justified undét the act of 1853. snd until eomething not alloved by that act wasdone complawants hed no might to call Tpon them either to justifs or come 1uto coart. He contended that the ‘Elel met all the objec- tious of Judge Booth as they ppeared on rec- ord, and then went on to cail his decision & boomersng. After an elaborate defenss of the plea, Alr. ‘Tuley reswned bis seat. ‘The Court (to Mr, Tuley)~—I underetand that these rerlications set up in substance that, in certain of the wards, they * - FAILED TO COMTLY with the statute a8 to swearing ollicers, stc., and claim that none of tho votes given in such wards ebonld be counted. the poxition that those things which were not doue, and which the la directed shiou'd be done, wero merely directory. and dou't touch tue valdity of tho elect.on,—that it is immaterial whether or ot they were done. that the votes of the peopla conld not be excluded. and that there is nothing in the replications to show the You, on the contrary, hold ity of the votcs except the alleged irregu- larities; acd even if that were the case, the replications would bs bad vecsuse thev don't aver if the votes of those wards were rejected that the result would be different. Mr. Tuley sad that was the position they 3ir. Pence—You are mistaken with respect to the last clause, . Tuley—They aver that it CHANGES THE RRSULT, a8 found and declared by the Common Councll, but not the actual result of the vote. The Cowrt—I understand the pont. Judge Dickey theo addressed the Court on the demnrrer to the socond ples. Judge Lawrence followed for complainants. He said tho othor side bad pleaded a guod piea. 80 far a8 related to Art. 9, but it wuse not true as & legal position. that the residus of the second amended plea was to be considered 28 a support to that portion. On the contrary, the ouly legal constraction of the plea was: Tho setting up & good defense as to the franohiscs conferred by Art. S, aud a bad defense as to ail the other franchises. The whole ylea was vitiated a8 it now stood for want of an allegation that the question of winornty represontation Was submitted. Judge Booth offered to AMEND THE PLEA by inserting the following a the cloa of the ro citsl: *-And these are the liberties, privileges, fanctions, and (ranchises mentioned in erid in- formation snd which plawtiff therews allegen the defendant bas used. exercised, and ururped.” Ar. Pence—You will then try to raise the ques- tion of user which the Conrt ssys yon cannot raise. The Couit—I uoderstand Judge Lawrence’s position tobe this: e sars, 38 to § Sec. 9, if you vlead that you bave tbe right touse the privilegen secured by thar soction and disclaim your yight to snything more, he wili be satiatied. " Judge Lavrence remarked that was his posic tion. After some discuesion, in which the question of tha exact meaniug of coansel for defandants’ again ross, the ameudmens to the ples was al- lowed, Judge Lawrence thinking it was entirely immateriul. Judge Lawrence then continued his arpament. The sumple question was whetber the other side ciaimed the Tight (0 _exerciso any privileges con- ferred by the sct. 1f they did ciaim sach right they must show their anthority, and if not they must disclsim the user. acd s Honor would pronounce the judgment which followed such dieclsimer. The question of minority represen- tation was fundameutal to tbe adoption of the charter, and, s it was not submitied to the peo- ple as roguired by the act, the entira election wad juvaiid. ‘The case was continued to Monday morning. WASHINGTON. No Yellow Fever at Norfolk—X¥hisky Firms Would Like (0 Compromise, Special Dispatch to 1'he Chicago Tribune, Wasmverox, D. C., July 17.—Thelocat health suthoritics here bave been occupied daring the day in verifying the rumors as to the existence of yollow fevar at Norfolk, Va. Telegrams from the health ofticers there, and from the naval and warine hospital surgeons, agres that there is no yellow fever at that port. The baaia of the rumors seems to be that a vessel arrived from the Barbadoes Islands with some severe cases of feverand jaundice on board, which were not accompanied by the black vomit. Inthe absence of & corroct diagnoss of these cases, the rumor rapidly spresd that they were cases of yellow faver. TIE WRISKY CASES. The Chicago firm which made the offer of compromise in the whisky cases was Dollen, Junker & Co. No epecial sum acoompanies the offer, but the messenger who brought it, who wes & person in high position, states that the firm would pay more tbau the Government could possibly obtain by & verdict. Secrstary Bristow replied to this that the suits should be pressed to the end if no more thaz a doilar was obtained by a verdict. All the other large fums are making offers of compromwse. The grest firm of Bevis, Frasier & Co. is here with s sumilar offer, but their efforts will cer- taioly be uselesa. The firm of Golson & East- man has not made an offer of compromiso.

At a regular commuuoication held Inst Monday night, the Committes, which was composed of Brothers J. O'Neill, J. M. Terwilli- ger, and J. B. Wilkios, roported as follows : Your Committee realize the melsucloly mature of the duties which devolve upon them, ueither is it pos- sible to tellin words the sadness which all of us feol. That Master's chair, 80 heavily draped, spesks in ita solemn silence With an 1mpressivenesa far grester than words can tell; those emblems of our Order, wrestbed with crape, exch tells its silent story ; the sorrowing faces of our brethren show but too plalnly the painful duty that has called us together. Death with his {nsatiate demand has visited our circle—sought ont s spining mark, sod, dipping his fatal dart in the pool of wmorrow, sped it fn our fermily, and struck our Muaster, scattering the incese of sdness like 3 pall of gloom over our hausehold and brotherhood. Welook in vainyto see the cheerful countensuco of our brother and our friend ; never again will we bebold those speaking eyes that sparkled with delight st the joys of his friend or Qimmed with tcars at a tale of sorrow, Brother Gallagher was born Aug. 20, 1834, at New- comerstown, Tuscarawas County, O, Here he re- sided with bis parents until 1851, when they moved to Mt.

Upon the acoompliehiment of this object, he sgein returned to Vicksburg, where he was granted s thirty days' fur- Tongh to viuit home. At the oxpiration of that time he Tejoined his division of the ariny st Huntaville, Ala., under Gen, Frank Slair.

Following with the mourn- ers were a large delegation of his uswoclates from the Post-Office, o evidenice of the esteem in which he was held by them,—they having increased their own labors and done Lis work that he might receive tho benefit theroof. tu the lust, for which they are eutitlod to more than passing mention at our bands. With Lis life in Chicago most of ua are famlltar, Coming into su sctive, metropolian city with- out acquaintances, molest worth fails to re- ceive tho reward it merits, and the. possessor of that virme a likely to bo set aside for those less doeerving but more persevering. However, permit us to bear testimony o a noblo action performed by a Past-Master of Blair Lodye, who appreciated an honeet, endeavor to obtain Master's wages, thersby eing the better ablo to support himself snd family, Having occasion to employ ab honest sccountant, hs gave tuo position to Bro.

Howaver, we would speak of tho action tukeu by the Lodge Iast week, regarding the orphaned babe of Drotuer Gallagher, commended by Lim with almost Lis last breath to God and tus brsthren,— and they cheerfully acoept this last, best, déarest be- Qquest, and not one member of Blair Lodge will hesi- tate 10 divide of his stare with this helpless orpban, Should it be that spirits disenthrallod hover over dear ones on carth; should it be that they are conscious of earthly surrounaings of their friends,~who can ot the joys of tnat father and mother whon Blair ige, wiio has the power, the ability, and, thank God, the disposition, to add et another laurel 1o her bright record of Masonio ‘charies, This last, the brightest of all, is_cousummated in the sdoption of that orphan babe—Frances Josephine Gallgher, Nor necd we eay that Blair Lodge will ever forget ber truat, butin’ the future as in the past, as the Deedio ia {rueto the north, sois Blair Lodge' trus to her duddes.

A Discourse Before the Massa- chusetts Dledical Society. Some Objections to the Medical Educa tion of Women, And an Argument to Show that Those Objections Are I11-Founded, To the Editor of The Chicavo Tridune: Bostoy, July 13.—This subject occupies the greater partof the * Annual Discourss before the Massachusetts Medical Society June 9, 1375, by George H. Lyman, M. D" This Society has existed nearly a century. and now contains some 1,400 members. It is, par excallence, the State Medical Society, 8o pure and exclusive that its lawful right to expel heretics in the form of Homeopathists from its ranks had not only been publicly asserted and practiced 1 its procecdiogs, but bas been sancuoned by the Courts, The Society has widely rosolved, and given notice, that it will not hold itself responsible for any opinions or sontiments advanced in these anpual discouraes, 80 that it ia not bigh treason against this august body to ecriticise them. This it is well to premise, because the writer, being neither s physician nor a woman, but only a possible pa- tient of some member of this Society, desires, above all things, to keep on good terms with sny into whose hands he may fall. Dr. Lyman thinks he represents the views of bis profession generally ; for hosays, in discugs- iug the expedioncy of sdmitting women to this Society, supposing things shonld come to such 5 83d pass, that they CANNOT BE XEPT FROM QUALIFYING THEMSELVES BY EDUCATION. The most serious objectiou to their admission is, that 1t would be immedistely construed as & taoit approval by the medical profession of any profzssional education for women. This wounld be a great orror,—the truth being that the pro- fossion, as & whole, are eingulaly uosnimous in their disapproval of auy such aim,—~they having o very decided conviction that the higher standard of educstion which women are seek- ing, snd which they certamnly ought to have, shou!d find for its development otber and more appropriate spheres, which are as yet far from beiog exhansted. If we cannot provent their practicing, let us take them into the fold and see to them, bacause *It is far becter that not only their preparation for it [the profession], but their action therein, should be under competent supervision.” *If, as we believe, they have un- dertaken a task which will resalt in failure, we can well afford to let it have s fair trial under new conditions, trusting to the future to prove that which we had thought salready s fliciently proved by the experience of the past.” We certainly have here a most cordial and fra- ternal invitation on the part of the orator to euch erring sisters as bave strayed into these forbidden paths of knowledge, and need the aid and sympsthy of association. If setto music the might be, *Will you walk into my parlor?” etc. And surely, too, such a tribunal as the speaker assumes his audiencs to be is, for presumed candor and catholicity of epirit respocting the subject befare it, only to be squaled by a court and jury after verdict and judgmant. But we have reversed the order of the dis- course by cousidering the last question first. This, however, seomed necessary, that the reader wight better apprehend the sort of meet- ing be is attending, and the natural proclivity of its crator to a line of discussion that might find s ready responss. The geperal subject of the discourse is, ** The Iotereats of the Public and the Medical Profession "; and, bowever strong the drift of the argament sectas to bo towards the interest of the medical profession, it is im- possible for any one holding tho foregoing con- clusions already statod to discuss the subject otborwise. ‘Thbe earth is the Lord's, and we are His saints. Iam the State. We ars the Medical Profession. Homeopathists are not, 803 women «re not, and, ths Lord helpiok us, NEVER SHALL BX, nor shall suy irregular practitioners enter our Kingdom, although Dr. Lyman fraokly makes the following admissio; *¢It canuot be denied thatthers is quite as much difference among regular practitioners in their mothods of treating the same diseass as betweeu them and the betier class of so-called irregulars, between whom and ourselros the dis- tinction in mauy casos 18 one of ethics 1ather tlan therepeuuics.” Luke all old and conservativo bodies, the So- ciety distrusts the judement of the people a5 to whom they should employ. *‘Who does not know that a patent pill or » well advertised olixir had more money io it than our phil sophy has ever dreamed of ?* Aud then he adds that the range of the regular practitioner includes svery- thing of worth which tho various 1sms contain, and absorbs all worth preserving in every ism and pathy that bos attempted to set up & new school. Ooming to the main guestions,—~whether our medical schoals and hospitals should be open tv women ; and, if g0, whether by the method of separate or mired justraction,—the specker may be fairly presumed to have presented toe nega~ tive arguwment in it strongest Jight ; aud, if & geutiewsn 80 able and ko couscious of right, ata period when' the waoole subject has recsntly been fully discussed in hewspspers, msgazines, and books, before a critical and exacting aundi- ence, cauoot sustain his positions, it is maar- festly because they are not founded on truth and right. He sdmits freely *the right of women to every ecuocational sdvsntage iu all the arts and sciences, 1n Law, Theology, and Medicine.” He then states the ouly ACTION OF THIS BOCIETY upon the subject. In 1553, the advics of the Councilors was asked by the Censors as to the application of Mra. E. N. Clark for admiasion, when it was voted that the Censors be insiructed to exsmive male candidates only. At the so- pual meeting in 1867, on an application from the “Trustees of the Massachusetta General Hospital for their opinion, 1t was voted to be ** inoxpedi- out to admit femalea 28 students to our Btate Medical Schools snd Hospitals.” In October, 1872, the Councifors were asked by the Censors for inatructions bow to act on ths application of Mius Suusn Dimock (she being s graduate of tne University of Zuach). It wea 1eferred to A committee, the ma- jority of whom reportad _that, under theacts of 1789 and 1859. Mis mock was en~ titied to an examination for sdmission. This re- ort was recommitted. with 1ostructions to take Psg-x advice. Ata meeting in Juoe, 1873, the opinion of two sminent lawyers was read, ** that the Society had tbe power to admit or refuse to admit females to membership,” upon which *‘it was voted to instruct the Censors not to admit females to examination as candidates for fellow- ship.” And there, 80 far a8 thia Society 18 con- cerned, the matter now rests; and, considering the sdmission of woman's *‘nght to every edn- cational advantage in all the arts and sciences, in Law, Theology, sod Medicioo,” with which the orator sets out, he certaiuly shows no great anx- iety on the part of the Bocioty to forco such ad- vautages upon them. e “The Doctor naxt proceads to discuss the * com- mon popular fallacy " that women are peculiatly adspted to the practice of obstetrics ; and zdds thas * there is probably no braach of the profes- sion for which 2 THEY ARE 80 ILL-ADAPTED.” He admits that previous to 175G, this business ‘waa in this coantry exclusively in the haods of illiterate women; sad that a goodly proportion of it now, in Great Britain, smoug the poor and middling’ classes, ia stillperformed by women, though very badly. Headmits next that s well- trained class of midwives would be welcomed by tho profession here, Locause the poor canmat afford to pay the *‘educated and fully-occuvied physician.” " Then ho admits the valuo of scch a class among us as the sages-femmes of the Fronch and German, and pames ceitaiu French ladicsas 80 skilled, 50 gifted, as to be recognized su- thonties even among their male coofreres; but tho very existence of such exceptional in- stances adds only strengih to the srgument agaivst the ganoral cspacity of the sex for such work. Otherwise, how do we sccount for the fact that their example has not been gen- erally followed ? Whencs arises the sigoiticant fact toat sll this work haa fallen o gemerally into the hands of the stronger sex ? ™ An experienced lawyer once sdvised a dull young man, recently sppointed Judge to give his opiulons, but pever to give say ressons for them. %r. Lymag's instincts may or may not bo neht on this point; but his ok is oot locid. Afier speakinz of this no:on that hOmaN A28 adspled io this kool of practice, 38 a common, popular fallasy, and of the business having been, in this country tor- merly, aod in the countriea of Europe up to tho present time, in women's bands, and admitting the advantage of a trained class of midwives in this conntry, he defies yon to answer why all thus work has fallen tnto the hands of the ;L!D_n;‘:nr sex, if women are mot utterly unflc or it ! One would expect that, at about this stage of proceeding, Dr. Holmes, who is & promitent member of the Socioty, wonld have been heard to_hum s quotation from bLis Oue-Hoss Shay: logic, that's all I say.” onand eays;: ‘*The complaint that educational facilities for women have been \rant~ ing i our profession is, in & large measure, dis- proved by the instances alreaay cited,”—reter- ring to the few who bave attained professional eminence ; and then be adds that ** no amouut of education’ will creats facultes which have no latentexiatence;” aad that **true genius for any calling alwais finds a way to its desired end.” ‘The argument seema to be this: It is true this Bociety bas excluded sll women, even from the privilego of students in our hospitals, as wel! a3 from medical schools; and we builders bave rejscted evon Miss Dimock. who has since became the chief head of the corner aa resident pbysician of the Hospital for Women. But ste and others bave, in spite of us, became eminent aad useful, which, in a large measure, disproves the complamt **that educa- tional facilities for women have been wanting in our profession;” and, besides, true genius for any calling always finds » way to its desired end.” It seems not to have occurred to the speaker that the true genius of men might as well climb to eminence 1n the profession withont aay Iadder ss the true genius of women. Finally Dr. Lyman teaches the inevitable argument of " PIYSICAL INABIUTY, * admitting their intellectual equality.” Tbis question, he says, has been cisimed to be a matter for thomselves, their pareuts and guardinos, to decide; bat he deems that there “is & pgraver, broader issus underlyivg sach personal, partial ambi- tiol sod chat the decwion must forthe genoral interests of society tarn upon its relations to the public welfare,” and, further on, he evidently proposes to have the question settled by men,.and under the advice of the Medical Society. Hiaidea of & bill of rights is more medical thon logical or legal. A right which ono ghall in no case be allowed to exercise it not easly distinguishablo trom & wrong. *t The right of women fo attempt any sphore of intellectual development and activity iy, ns we have freely sdwitted, unquestionable ; but a0 equal right pertaios to the male sex—who {rom the beginning have governed, and probably will to the end continue to govern, commumities —to exercige their judgment also in the practical decisions as to what 18 wisest and best for the welfare und continuance of that aggregation of sexes which we stylo society.” "More briefly stated, the rght ol women is admitted, but ** an equal right " pertaing to man to prevent the eu- joymens of that right. Tnen the apealor refers to the domoatic and matoroal daties, which caunot be delegated. sud deprecates adding to these the study and prac- tice of & profession, This common argument has been a8 commonly met, and fairly, we thunk, 80 far as New England is concerned. Tha num- ber of females is wuch largerthan that of malea, About aneeashymciln, perbaps, to & thousand people is nesded. Nobody proposes to exclude men from the practice. Would it be an intolera- ble secrifice of the public welfare if one or two youns women in each town. of 3,000 peopla sbould resolve to devote their livasto the heal- ing of the sick, RATHER THAN TO MAREIAGE, and its possible result of adding to the popula~ tion 2 And are there not a ecore of siugle wom- en, and wives, too, in every town avd village who have abundant time and ability to atiend to a large practice, if ouly they could bave obtained an education to the prefession ? But, in this very conneciion, Dr. Lyman ad~ ‘vauces some opinions which cartainly go far to disprove his general_conclusion, that the health of eociety is bow in the . best possible banoa. Tis language is certainly somewhat startling. Hesays: ‘It is very certain to moet medical ‘minds thas thero is an nndarlying basis of, truth justifying the feeling_that some radical changs is peeded in the trainicg of young women, if we would not have mothers mot merely unable to nurse their babies, but if we would have any babies at all to require of them that 1mpoasible oftice.” Agaia: *“The prevestion of concep~ tion, and the murders committed during the early months of pregnncy, 80 otorlously com~ mou in these days, have more to do with the nervous and uterine ill-health of women than they are williog to_ackuowledge, or than their critics have seen fit to recognize. Were every practitioner at liberty to make known the facts 1n this direction of which he has almost daily cognizauce, the public would be horrified.” Dr. Lyman adds that 1t is fair to say that these subjects of nervous exbauation, &c., *are not contined to the so-calied be:ter classes, mor even to that small portion of them supposed to be injured by excessive brain-work. Our hospi- tals and dispensaries, Whose OCUDRQts are mostly from the middle and laboriug classes, .and who certainly csunot be suspected of suffer- ing trom too grest intellectual activity, ahow quite a8 large a proportion. Nor 18 it by any eans true that the nervous, delicate, thorough~ bred American beauty, fragileas she often seeme, does produce & progeny really inferior in either physical or intellectaal strength to the coarser and rougher types prevailing in thess other classos.” THESE ABE STRANGE STATEMENTS a8 supports to 8 propos:tion to exciude women from the practice of medicine. **Some radical change is meeded in the training of yomng women.” or society wiil come to an end for want of children; but, 80 far 88 observed, the evis reforred to are by o moans limited to culti- vated, educatod people, but other classes show quite as largo 3 proportion; and the Amencan beanty, fragile as she is, produces children in no wise inferior to others. The regular profeasion Dbas advised and doctored the people for genera- tinps, and brought them to this melancholy con- dition. A chaugo i8 pecessary to preserve pub- jic bealth, and the question befors the mesung being whether sholl make the proposed change of intrusting some portion of tho public health to women trained for the purpose,-it is gravoly decided in the negative, Witbout an inti- mation from these sages as to whst they pro- Duse to do an the subject. ki The argument based upon * the physiological conditions of their sex,” presented by Dr. Clarke in his *‘Sex and Education,” bave been suiliciently discussed in public. The facts atand undisputed, that women everywhere perform constunt aod hard labor, in faciones, in shops, in printing-offices, and in familiea; that physi~ cians, sick, and faeble, and old, who cannot per- torm half the work of a healthy womaa, are use- ful and respected in their profession ; and that more thlflt}! the beat service of our physi~ cians is rendered after they have passed the age when woman's peculiar functions have ceased. ‘Why womsa should not be able to perform the common duties of physicisna, it is difficuls to ses. Upon the question of instracting women _in the same clssses with men, or separately, Dr. Lyman advocates THE SEPARATE SYSTEX, though he finds great difficalty in providing the means. Herefers to the fact that, at Zurich, womet attend ail sorts of anatomical demon- atrations with young men, * witboat any ap- parent rudeness or objection from the stu- dents,” ‘This,” he eays, stadents to bo wonderfully considerat: bred,” sud he probably bad in mind the fact that. in this country, !adies who had sttempted to attend similar leciures had, in some instances, been grossly insulted. Dr. Lyman states all the objections to women practicing medicioe, including those founded on the indelicecy of the necessary course of ipoetruction; bant it was mnot for him to present the strongest and most obvious argument in favor of having the ordi- nary practice smong women and chiidren in the hands of [adiea. Above all thines, cherish the sensitive_delicacy of woman, and keep up tho barriers between them snd contact with coarse and common men. It is some sacrifica that & few refined ladies should be called to labor in & profession whose associstions and detsila are necessarily revolng. But these things must needs be. Whenever thero is sickness, or birth, or death, soms woman, usually & mimistering angel. is preseut.
