WASHINGTONIAN HOME, WIAT 1T HAS DONE AND NOT DONE. ‘There was recently published in Tue TRIBUNE ¢ letter from Dr. “Earlc, the physician of the WWashingtonizn Home, pooh-poohing the Cin- cbona riibra cure of Dr. U'Unger, and intimating rather broadly that, it was ot no avail. Before a doctor can be jusiified in casimyg discredit upon the methods.of cure of avother, it is emi~ peatly proper for Lim to show that bis own metbods work well. A reporter was therefore girected to examine into the Washingtousan Jiome, an fustitution for the cure of in- coristes, sod see what it had dope since its establishment, and - especially since Dr. Earle bas been in charge there, for tleir reformation; and to sce what resultsit Jad sccomplised Wwith the ample funds at its disposal—funds derived frow the citv, from i Joree endowment, and from the board of the jomates.

Earle, is, according to his own statement, about 3s follows: In the first place, he gays he allows uo aleoholie stimulants to ke used, excent when he believes it absolutely Decessary to save life. He hss found during his experience of seven or eight years st the Home that avous one case in 200 is "reduced to” £uch 3 condition of exhaustion and lassitude that & few drops of spirituous liquor of some Ltd lave been required to keep thc patient fiom siokine. He does not have any imthin {le theory of gradual reform, and_does not al- lox & patient 1o taper off_gradually_on his dnng 1rom say twenty-five drinks on the first l:?y 1o one drink, sod eventuaily none ut all; & ;z Be requircs a total abstinence from thestart, b ctpt fn extreme cases, as mentioned above. He believes that where a cure for drunkenness is dfl.flemm by this means it is not permanent, aud that the patient bes a stronger appetite for drivk when e goes out than be would have if be dropped the babit entirely at the very gulficL Hewill sulfer more acutely at firs, ut it will be better for bim in the end, inas- much &5 it will give exercise to his moral uscles, and teacl bim 1o use bis will pow {uinet, Dr. Earle contends thas the ovly abao. lute cure for drunkenness is effected by will Tower, and that the Washinetonian Howe is a £ort of school in which inebriates, whose minds may bave become weakened by long association Tith temptation, may be restored to manhood £0d mental vigor by example and_precept.

The physician stated to the writer that he believed there were a thousaud TmeD eeattercd about this city who were once in tie gutter, but_who by the treatment they re- <eived at the Home are now occapying respon- sible positions in business and bigh plates in s0- ciety; besides, there were many more seattered 2bout il over this country who were in the same condition. The Doctorréferred to aletter which had just been received by the Suverintendent: by 3 graduate from the Home who 18 at: present engaged in 3 hopeful temperance reform work fn Cabada. He thought the' Justices, 14 | i Dabit of drunkenness was not confined to a0y particular class of individuals, altboush it 4s most common among men of comparatively swall wiil-power, and these. were the hardest ones o care cffectually. They mean well, and, 50 lons as they are under Home influence, they will get along all right; but, let them go forth and fall into temptation with their old_asso- ciatés, and they are quite apt to sink again into degradation. This L".]lss of patients come again hnd again, but in very many instauces men have 12: n Euown 10 finully be saved after repeated Arials, and proppiug up, as it were, by the Home influence. By long practice they are enabled to ain control of their appetites by havine, toeir will-power strengthened. He says there can be 0 detinite rule i regard to taking men into the institution on ins account; vet . DISCRIMINATION IS PRACTICED arafist a certain class of fncbriates who are called * repeaters,” from the fact that their vis- its are repeated periodically, and they appear to bave no_distinct notions of reform, but only seck the Home whenever their own convenience appears to require it. Some were formeriy in the havit of comine sronnd periodicatly,—gen- erally at, the commencement of cold weatber,— 2nd, under pretense of desiring to reform, ob- tziu comfortable quarters for the winter. Taese, tie Doctor savs, have been hunted down snd weeded out, until now a different. class of peo- vle is represented among the ininates than was Feen in former times, ic thinks that it will be difficult to find a chronic “bummer ” amooz the boarders at the Home now, while it used to be filled with them. “The full bistory of each patientis obiained b the phrsician upon lis entering the Home, ith his bubits, temperament,| qualitications, etc. This_kuowledge gives bt a frroundwork upon which to base his treatment of the particular case. . DELIRIUM TREMENS, according to Dr. Earle, is very rare at the Home, un account of the fret that patients are taiken on tee very start, aud treated with a view of get- ting their nervous system quicted down early. 11¢ says be has_treated fu the neighborbood of 2,000 cases at. the Home, and has never lost a case vy delifum tremens. There have heen possibly eight or ten cases lost from other dis- eases, suchas acute covrestion of the junys, or . some.. other dizease brought on by excessive use of liquor; two or three have died from poison obtained outside the Home, and oue mau who was iusane jumped from the window and was killed, “ e says there bave been a great many admit- ted who oushit not to have been, in spite of the viglavce of the Comunttee on Admission and Discharge. ‘They are williniz to a¢mit, any man whom tuey belicve is earnest in his aesire to re- form; but no mouey consideration could induce them to take in a person who was not a proper subject, Politivians have ecndeavored to use their influence many times to sceure thead- mission of some old *bumuier,” but, the Com- mittee has become very strict upon that poiut. PHYSICAL TREATMEN Torerard to the physical treatment of pa- tients, all are practically put throuzh the samne course, with slight variations, of course, accord- ing to dircumstances. When a man first comes into the iustitution he is immediately thorough- iy washed and disinfected of any uucleanlivess whatsocver. Heis then taken to the hospital department, put into aclean_bed, ard given liquid nourishment only. If he proves to be unduly nervous, or is suffering irom cerebral aflection, he is given ‘nerve sedatives. Tuese latter copsist of the bromides,—potassium, so- dium, or ammonia,—valerian, fluid extract of len lettuce, and otber solutions. The romides are issued in dosesof from ten to twenty grains, once in every four hours, more or less, nceording to circumstances. The valerian’ sud lettuce ore given in doscs of per- haps balf a teaspooniul in from two to four hours. The above is the treatment pursued during the first day. Occasionally men come to the Home who have biad no sleepfor nights. or even weeks, except as they bave slept under the in- finence of liguor. In such cases it becomes ab- solutely necessary that they have a refreshing £lumber right away, in order to avoid disastrous eflects. 1n a majority of cases the Doctorclaims 10 procure slecp without 8 particle of diflicuity, Tiu patient, having been properly taken care of and made comfortable during the day, is now prepared, with very small doses of cither the bromides or hydrate of chloral, or small doses ot camphor, to procure from four to seven hours of sleep at night. The doses of hydrate of chloral vary from thirty to sixty grains, in di- vided quantities, througl the night. The ouly nourishiment given is in the form of fuids, such 25 amimel broths and teas, milk, and perhaps a Iittle sott toast. The patient is not_allowed to Fartake of a particle of solid food while be is in the hospital, as the Doctor believes the ireat- ‘ment_is more effectual by this method; solid jood, he says, bas a tendency to bring oo indi- pestion, diarrhea, ete. iy - The second morning the patient is washed and given bis breakfest of fluid diet. If he is very much depressed, if his cercbrsl excitement on account of liquot has passed away, he may be ordered some preparation of quinine or cin- chonidia, with ammonis, or some diffusible etimulants, with not a- particle of alcokolic hquor, which_will gct_quickly. If a man is nervous the following day bie is allowed some of the nerve sedatives which ware administered the day before. In agreat number ot cases by the third day the patient is able to sradoate from the hospital, unless he be afllicted with sume organic disvase. Tromthehospital he goesintotheconvalescent- room, or the €moking-room. His mind is di- verted by amusements of some gort, such as checkers or dominoes. Cards are not aliowed in the institution. Many paticuts are_assigned 0 rooms upon the fourth day from this time, and then they go to the general table, wherc they get fond exactly like that obrained at any boarding-house. Previous to this time the patieut’s meals were brought to him in the uospital. This is the gerieral mode of treatment, which Dr. Earle and the management of the Home appear to think isabout correct. I1f any rem- nauts of old diseases are bangriug about a mau, such _as a_coueh, indigestion, coustipation, or any like indisposition engendered by the use of alcobolic stimulants, they are treated in the or- dinary method, and this is frequently done after the patient has left the hospital and taken a room in the house. ] TRE APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION tothe Home are from all over the country, nearly every State in the Union being rep: sented. The largest percentage of permanent cures, or what ar¢believed to be permanent cures, are among those who come from abroad. The reason assigned for this is that those who reside in the city and apply for .reform have for the most part business interests or sit- uations to maintain. These, of course, “are among the better classes of applicants, They come into the Home and remam a_short time, are talked to by the Superintendent, and sub- Jected 1o the good influences of the Home for a short time, when they feel that their interests require their attention outside, and tbey leave ‘before they are strong enough, moraily and otherrise, to et along alone and without the aid of Flome inflnences, So say the managers, Tne result is, they fall in witd their old asso- cates and jnto temptation, and they resume, shortly, their old mode of life. This opcrates against the Home and its work, and1s said tobea detrimenttothe cause. Buttiie physician said thut while attention 1s called to every one of the cases above deseribed, no mention s ever made of the individual who reforins and becomes a Zood citizen and an ornament tosociety. ‘The Iat- ter, of course, never allude to the fact of their being graduates of the Washingtonian Home of their own accord, and it is very seldom that any- thing is heard ot them. The Doctor ihinks that an average of 50 per cent of the men who make application to the Home for treatinent are | permanently reformed, 2lthouzh he saysitisa diflicult matter to bring to a precise point of computation, for who is totell” the exact time required to call @ man permavently cured of drunkepuesst He may go for two or three vears without taking liquor, and then fall even below the point of dcgradation at which he had arrived when he first made ap- Pplication, from various ecauses,—disappoint- ment, financial failure, or morbid sensitiveuess Dr. Earle says it is renerally calculated that if 2 man docs not taste of liquor for two years, and shows that he has become better in cvery way and more respectable, then he may safely be said to have permavently reformed; Dut, un- less he is known to have leit off bis bad habits and to have left his old associates, be is not re- garded as a permanent cure. But many—in fact the greater number of cases—who leave the Home become lost to the menagers, and _they bave no definite means of konowing as to wheth- er they have. reformed, except as they bear of them as havinr resumed thefr old Dabits, or upon their application agan at the Home. However, the oflicers of the institution nave set it down as & safe axiom to 2o by that if they never hear of a graduate as a drunkard again to conclude that he is enjoying a complete reformation, The Physician says that he thinks tere arc at least 1,000 men in this city to-day, engaged in every possible pursuit and occupy- ing all positions of socicty, who bave left the Home, and who have not tasted a_drop of Tquurin from one to seven years. He desires applicants to remain at the Home from one to four mouths before poingoutside to attend mat- ters ot their own interest without rome one going with them, ashe thinks that many failures result from a patient leaving too soon betore he bhas hLod toe principles of sclf-govern- ment_iostilled into his mivd. Bug few are willingor able to remain that length of time. ‘Thev are auxious to get out as soon as possivle in order to preserve a situation. and they are cootent with boarding at tbe Home for a”time, which is considereed better than nothing o this line, as they are under good influence at least a portien of the time. Some remain entirely with- in the portals of the Home but from one to two weeks, and fome cven Jess. Dr. Earle stated that there is now a number of “repesters,’” buv that they were not mearly 80 numerous gs they were once, on account- of the management being more strict, Supt. Wil- kins reports that there are now but fourteen in- mates who may in any sense of the wora bo styled “repeaters,” sud there is a reasonable cxeuse for every one of these. VARIOUS CAUSES ART ASSIONED FOR DRUNE- ENNESS < by the Physiclan of the Home, basing his judg- ment upon cases which have come under his ob- servation, and upon conversations held with the men who have applied for treatment. The first causes rauk as follows: Assoclations with drink- ing companions, 40 per cent; faciability, 10 per cent; trouble of various kinds, cither in busi- nessor in family, 10_per cent: the custom of drinking in_familics, 2 per cent; and the other causes which zo to make up the remainder are dufferent kinds of business which bring a person in contact with alcohol, such as liquor traftic, hotel business, etc., mental depression and active brain work, army ana pavy sssociations, and other reasous. The relupses sre charged: To trouble, 60 per cent; dissolute and wicied companions 2nd dis- appointment, 25 per cent; sociability, 10 per cent: bodily suffering and chrouic diseascs, 15 per cent; pight-work, 14 per cent; the absolute love for aleoholics is stated to be a cause of few relapees. It will be seen that the Washingtonian Home has received for its running expenses during its organization, up to oue year ugzo, a orand total of over $233,063; it has had within its doors for treatmeut several thousand inebriates, and yet the oflicers and physicians have manawed to care not over one-third, orone-half at the outside, of the number, or ' permanently benefit them. tblf‘;‘:e of the oflicers remarked to tne writer ‘1T WAS A BIG TNING IF EVEN 23 PER CENT of the unfortunates were saved.” Soit is, pro- vided a greater number cannot be permanently cured; but if by any modern discovery or inven- tion, if by any buman ingenuity or scientific research, resuits may be obtained which will £nuteh more of our fellow-beings irom a drank- ard’s grave, they, from the suandpoint of the Washinztonians and the temperance workers eenerally, ought o be favorably considered, and ought not the experiment to be accorded a fair trial by the oflicers in charge! What is such an iustivution * for if not to employ every means that i3 presented to work out tne results thnat it claims as_its _sole object—to reform incbratess No doubt the oflicers have all worked faitbfully in the course of treatment which they have honestly believed to be tor the best interests of the Home 4 and the unfortuuates whom it protects; but it any responsible individual comes along with a remedy which he warrants will get ut the very roots of the disease, and instead of conguering the enemy by will-power alone destroys the ap~ petite or desire for intoxicating liquors, is it not right and fair to give bim a trial. provided, of course, that the indiyidual comes iudorsed by proper persons, and a guarantee is obtained that be will effect vo injury to the putients that he treats? It would cost very little to try an ex- periment, and, if it failed, there could be very ]iulu harin done before it wonld be discovered snd arrested; but, on the coptrary,if the remedy would do "all that its iuventor claims that it will do, thenit is truly the greatest dis- covery of the ‘age, aud tiere would be 10 more fitting place to make a tral tban at the Wash- ingtonian Home, where no person ever pretends to 2o untii be is sunk s0 low in the degradation of inebriation that it is the only chance lor his salvation. THE NAME OF DR. D'UNGER is well known throughout the country, from the fact that the pewspapers have been filled of late with mention of his (as he claims) famous remedy for drunkenness,—cinchona rubra,—and with assaults ou him by rival practicing phy: ‘cians. It is a well-known fact that there is noth- ing that will equal the jealousy of a practicing physiclan unless it is that of ao army ofli cer, and he will contrive more way to bring discomfit wupon his adversary than on¢ would naturally supbose homan in- genuity could copjure up. And ali the time he will look &s wise 28 o Solon, and an unsophis- ticated person would not for an instunt sup! pose that butter would melt in his mouth. Regular practicing physicians all over the city are roady to announce tnat they nave tried this Peruvian bark, or raw quinine, or whatever tie substance is composed of, and report that it is a dead failure. They €ay tbat Dr. D'Unger prepares a simple concoction of cheap bark and sells itat about §15 apint, or sowe such fabulous price, and that it does not permanently benefit the ine'riate. That, however, is not fhe case. It he gusrantecs to effect a cure, why not give him an opportunity to try nis experiment, and satisfy himself and the géneral public, provided, as stated beiore, mo evil cffects will arise from iv? From several [nterviews held with promi- nent oficers of the Home yesterday, the writer becaine convineed that all'the opposition of the management LAY WITI THE PATSICIANS copnected with it. . With a view of ascertaining the views of some of the Directors of the Home individually, the reporter visited several. of the gentlemen at their offices, and interviewed them regarding their willinzoess or unwillingness to allow Dr. 1D'Unger to try bis experiment in the Washing- tonian Home, the Board to make s appropria- cion to cover the uet cost of the medicine, and Dr. D'Unger to administer it as each individual case seemed to require. If he succecaed and cleared the Home ot all its inmates, it would be a big thing for the institution, and an unques- tionable aavertisement for the Doctor. MR. H. C. MOREY s5aid the Home got the very hardest cases there were to be found, and onés which are next to incurable: no man ever thought of going there until there was nothiug left for him to do. But be thought there were some bright instances of good having been wrouglit with the present means. He clted the caseofa man that was taken from the Brigewell and piaced - in the Home. After awhile he got fixed up, and auswered an_ sdvertisement for a booklkeeper. He went to work at £50 a mouth, and was now receiving $4,000 a vear from the same tirm, had married, and was in possession of a family and a house and lot worth §5,000. Mr. Morev had not the slightest objections to Dr. D'Uneger going foto the Home and trying his cure. However, he had been told by the Home Thysicians, Drs Earle and Fiteh, that they had gotten some of the cinchona from Dr. D'Unger and hnd tred it oo sume of the patients, with- out producing the desired effect. Mr. Morey thought that he would like to Xrow of any remedy which would actnally cure the appetite for stroug drink. It would be the most valuable discovery the world had ever pro- duced. If there wasanvihing to Dr. D'Uneer's remedy, be for one would not have the slightest objection to his trviug it iu the Home; be thought that would be a gooud place to test_it, and if it was really meritorious the Board should adopt it asaremedy. Any- thing that would cure 2 man of the discase was just what they were looking for. Hedid not think auy man on the Board would object. He sald he bad had atalk with Dr. N.'S. Davis, President of the Home, upon the subject, aod that gentleman did ot appear to have much faith in the method, although be did not seem 10 be positively opposed to it. The Doctor told bim he had been offered all of the cinchona burk that he wanted to try the experiment with by a wholesale drugeist of thisciry, 1ree of cost. He told one of his puticnts to try 1t if he liked, the other day. _Mr. Morey did 1ot see how any- body could tell as to whether Dr. D'Unper’s remedy was 2, success until @ number of years had elapsed, any way. DR. ¥. 8, DAVIS, President of the Home and 2 member of the Board ot Directors, was next called upon at his oflice. He was very busy at the time, aud seut word by a lady attendant that, if the reporter lhad come to ivterview him with remard to the Washingtonian [iome, he did not have the time to spare; but, if he only desired to ask a ques- tion, he would try to answer it. lu an gccom- panyiug note, the Doctor explained that he had to leave for his clinical institute ac the Hos- pital in thirty minutes, and there were several patients yet to be trezted. The reporter wrote the following note upon the back of the slip and ispatched it to Dr. Davis’ private room 1 simply desire to know as 10 whether you, nsa member of the Board of Directors of the Washing- tonian Home, have any ubjcctions to aliowins D D'Uner to try lis remedy persoually in tac insti- tution. In a moment the attendant returned with the following, upon the same slio of paper: 1 consider myself a very: intelligent physicia; Just as competent to fry the useof any and all Preparations of red cinchona bark as Dr. D'Unger. . S, DAvis, This ended the interview with Dr. Davis. The reporter next wended his way to the office of MR. WASHINGTON WARRES, on Fifth avenue. He said he had not thought the matter oyer sufliciently t0 express an opin- jon, and he believed it was never taken into consideration by the Board of Directors. He thought the best way for Dr. D'Unger todo was to come personaily before the Board and state woat he wants to do. The annual mcet- ing would be hcld Monday nighty and a wee later the Directors would "hold their meetin: 1t was near at hand, and he thought the subj could best be arrived at in this way. As for himself, he counld not form any opinion until he had seen the man with bis own eyes and heard bis statement from his own lips. He said the Washingtonian Home was for the purpose of curing inebriates, and it mattered not how the cure Was accomplished, s0 it was done with- out evil results, It Dr. D'Unger wished to try an experiment to ses what Lis remedies would do, be did not see why the Home was not a xood place. He had read what had been said in the “papers, but be would rather talk with Dr. D'Un- ger nimeelf, and see for himsell. M7. GEORGE SHERWOOD, anotner Dircctor, said_be would b glad, as an individual, to sec Dr. D'Unger £0 into the Home and try his own exgeriment. if there was any virtue'in the remedy, he thonght it should have a fgir trial, and see if they could not met out fome of the men who had been there for u foug ime. . 3. C. H. CASE : gafd: % If Dr. D'Unger hes 2ot 1 zood thing, and has got rood _indorsements from the med- ieal profession, I for one would like to see bim try his remedy in the Home; I do not care what individual physiciaus may say or feel persop- eilv. But I would be opposed to allowing every quack that comes alonZ to experiment with a patent remedy upon the peaple of the flome. Their lives are just as valuable as any- body’s else.” . MAYOR HEATH etated that, although a_member of the Board ot Dircctors, bis business 80d the city affairs had occupied his time so fully that he could 10t pay as much attention to the institution as he would like to do; he wasalready taxed beyond his strength. However, if Dr. D'Unger, or any other man, haa a rcmedy that was zood ~ for anything, he for one would like to sce “him given 8n opportunity to test it, provided there was nothina hurtfnlin the ingredients, and the party making the triw was thoroughly responsible and backed with un- questional. ,ecommeudatious. MR. W. fl. WELLS, when approachee on the subject, statnd that ne liad not given the matter any attenting qiatuver, He should want to look info the question from the bottom before he would be willing 1o give any opinion. His first tmpressions were that he would rather sce the esperiment tried upon individuat cases. outside before adopting the treaument inside the Home. He felt that it would be a responsibility that he, as 3 member of the Board of Directors, would not care to assume without-first beiutr assured that it was u successful aud harmless remedy by outside demonstration. "The Directors all appeared to be guarded in their expressious of opinion, and seemed to be guided in the maiv by the judgment of the ree- ular practicing physicfans connected with the umanagement of the Howe, all of whom are doubtless orejudiced agzainst any innovation fn thie orthodox principles of medicinal practice, and of course they dislike the idea of giving up their own pet thcories for any new inveniiou oll; d‘ij;:overy made by a rival practitioner outaide the circ! NOW THE OASE STANDS THUS: The Washingtouian Houe is belfeved by Dr. Earle to have cured 50 per ceut. He thinks so because, where cases haye not been heard from, he considers that there has been a cure. Others, less sanguine, put the cures at about 25 per cent. This can hardly be suid to bea good showing for an expeaditure of $260,000. Every- bodv, temperauce people everywhere, would be grateful to see better results accomplished for such an outlay. Now, De. D'Uneer ‘claims to have already cured a large number of inebriates und persons addicted to liquor. Whate he number of cases treated by him the percentage of cures is unquestfonably far, very far, greater than that recorded by the Washinaionian Home. He undoubtedly stands ready to furnish uny reasomable amount of proof of the efficiency of his remedy, and proof which can- not be gainsaid by the Dircctors of the Home, or even by the physicians attached to the estab~ lishment.” Would it not, therefore, be well, in view of these facts,—~in view of the results which he los accomplished, and the results which others have failed (0 accomplish,—to grive him an opportunity Lo prescribe his medicines there, and sce whether lie_cannot cure every inmate now in the Home? If he does this, he ill unquestionably be e very man for whom the Good Templars, the Temperance Alliance, and the other temperance organizations bave Leen secking so lon THE NEW CURE. COL. E. F.

BAR ASSOCIATION. Proceedings of the Annual Meet- ing--=Election of Offi- cers. Beforming the Jury System-—How to : Gst Better Justices. Report of the Doard of Managers--Progress of the Assotiation. The annusl meeting of the Bar Association was held at their rooms in the Farwell Hall Building yesterday afternoon, Vice-President King in the chair. There were about 150 mem- :beérs present. . Afr. J. L. High, gn behalf of THE BOARD OF MANAGERS, submitted a report, of which the following is an abstract: Efforts have been made during. the year to surrender’the lease of the rooms now occunied, and which does not expire until May 1, 1850, but without success. The landlord refuscs to agree to a cancellation uwpon any reasonable terms. Under these circumstances, there is no alterna- tive except to continue to use these these room, at the present high rental of $1,200 per annurn. Atzention is called to the steady and rapid increase in membership. The active member- ship Dec. 31, 1877, was 101 Of tbis number fifteen have been dropped from the roli for the following couses: Non-payment of dues, 5; election to Bench; 3;. death, 6; request, 1. Upcn the other haod the accessions comprise the names of thirty-eight, and the ngeregate active membership Dec. 31, 1678, was 214. Of the new members a large number have been drawn from the younzer members of the Bar, snd the Board poidt with satisfaction to this feature of the year’s work. ) ‘The social events of the year were a dinner to Judge Harlan, his election’ to the Su- preme Beuch sand allotment to this circuit being an event of such interest to ~the - Association as to deserve more thaw passing notices, and the annual din- ner at the Palmer. Both were noticeable for the commendable omission of all specches. In view of the present financial condition of the Association and of the probable necessities of the coming year, the Board were of opinion’ that an assessment of $10 upon each member ‘would carry the Assoviation through the year, and they recommended that aii assessment be made for that amount. In conclusion, the Board congratulated the Assoclation upoun the successful record of the past year, expressing their carnest conviction of the necessity and importance of continued exer- tion in the fature to promote the purposes and objects of the organization. However mue* e members might differ in their views of professional discipline, or fn . their methods ‘of attaining desired ends, it was believed that they were one in & common purnose and_effort to elevate and purify the profession in which their lot was cast. 1f the discussions of the pust year bad sometimes looked as if the:e were an appareut Jack of harmony, resulting from diverging views as to methads of procedtre, they had At least iven emphasis to the conviction shared, it was believed, by all the members of the necessity of hizuer standards of professional attainments aud worals. Impressed as they were with this conviction, the Board dezmed it not inapproori- ate to invoke their fellow-memoers to remem- ber always that they were bretiren of a coramon profession, and’ to be of them that, forgetting 2ll personal differences of opinion, thev present a unitea- front in furtherunee of the declared ob- jects of their yncorporation * to estublish and maintain the Ionor and dignity of tbe protes- sion of thelaw, Lo cultivate social istercourse among its members, and to increese its useful- ness in promotivg the due administration of justice.”” On motion of Eltiott Anthony the report was adopted. - Trensurer Ball presented his report, which showed the followin: Balance Jan. 14, 1878, §576.30; received to Jan. 11, 1879, $2,270; paid out, $2,614; palance on hand, $232. There are nopaid bills amounting tu §66. The rent of ruomsis paidto Feb. 1. ‘The delinquent assessments and dues ageregate “Tlic report was referred to a special commit- tee to be audited. Mr. Picrce, from the Committee on Admis- sions, reported favorably on the agplications of Joseph R. Clarkson, George W. Cass, and John H. Thumpson. 5 AN ELECTION FOR OFFICERS then took place with the following result: Tresident—\WV. M. King. Yice-Presidents—M. W. Fuller, L N. Stiles. Bocretary—1i. O. Collina. Treuvurer—F. Q. Bail. Board of Manngers (to 1l vacancies)—Robert T. Lincoln, Wirt Dexter, J. N. Jewett, George W, Swith. Committee on Admissions (to fill_vacancies)— George Gardner, F. J. Crawford, and E. Walker. The [ollowing were elected members: N. E. Gary, Hempstead Washburne, Frank Baker, J. P. Abrens, T. L. Boyce, Leslie Carter, F. S. Winston, T. W. Grover, O. F. Aldis, Edwin Brainard, M. A. DeLaney, ond James M. Walker. Mr. Ayer moved that an assessment of $10 be made on each member for the eusuing year. “I'he motion was agreed to. GRIEVANCES. Mr. E. A. Otis, from tbc Committee oo Grievances; submitted their report. “They were gratified to report that no case had come before them during the past yeer which seemed to re- quire action on the part of the Association. A numboer of minor complaints against members of the Bar had beco investizated, some of which were Tully and satisfactorily explained, and in other cases the evidence was conflicting and un- satisfactory. As tney understood the ralein the Payne-Fitz case, the proof of misconduct on the part of an attorney must exclude any rea- sonable doubt before his name would be stricken from the rolls. Acting on this, the Committee bad taken care to presentno case to the Association where the proof did notcome up to the preseribed standard. It had been frequently asserted that the Association had pever prosecuted members of the Bar foral- leged misconduct excevt those in obscure position, without pawer or influence in the community. There was no_just fonndation for any churge or insinuation of ‘this character, and, so far us the Committee was coucerned, ne charge sgaiust any member of the Bar or other ial, whethier ju high or low position, had d to receive a patient, careful, aod fearless investigation. Charges of miscondnct on the part or members of the Chicago Bar were of rare_ocearrenct, and the Committee believed the Bar of no city in the country bad established or maintained a digher standard of professional ethics or conduct. ‘The repors was adopted. SELECTION OF JURIES. Mr. Pence, from the Special Commitiee on the Sclection of Juries, made a_verbal report. ‘they nad called on the County Board ana laid the matter before them. The Commissioners were interested and some of them were s wrised that they had duties to pertorm of whick they were not before re. They bad taken bold in good faith, but it yet remained to be secn whether there would be an improvement under the new system or not. He believed the Commissioners were in carnest,and would attend {0 the selection of juries as it bad never been attended to before. The truth was it had never been attended to. The County Clerk had been in the habw of making the lista. He boped the result would be a better class of jurors. The Comimittee would keep the thing in mind unuil satistied that lgoud could be aceomplisbed, or tha it was useless to bope for a change. JUSTICES OF TIE PEACE. Mr. Black read a letter from J. H. Kedzie, calling attention to a “cryingevil”—the sys- tem of extortion practiced, especially on the poor and defenseless, by Justices of the Peace and Constables in cxacting excessive and illegal ces. All Of the present Justices were candi- dates for :efl\;pomlmem., and it was a most favorable time for the Association to apvoiut a coinmittee to examine the dockets of the differ- ent Justices and see which, if any, had been in the Tabit of charging illeeal fees: or, if this course should pot be adopted, to urge upon- the ap- pointing Judges to require every incumbent secking reappointment to cxhibit his docket for their inspection. . < ‘The following was submitted by Mr. Black: Pesolved, That the Judges of the Coorts of Record of ‘Cook Conbty, charged with the duty of -recommending_to_the” Goveruor persons for ap- pointment.as Justices of the Peace, be requested. whenany'of the iucumbents are applicants for re- appointment;ta'reauire of such applicant evidence, Dy inspeczion of booksor other satisfactory proofs, that they bave not been jp the habit of charging illegal fees; and that the''Secretary notify the Judges of this action. Mr. Black said there was so much ground for complaiat that he had no hesitation in offering this resofution. Mr. Anthooy remarked that many of the per- sons Who were now administericz the law in {‘Ii:llg cmm‘tii Wwere not lawye sinces done by the Justices, if known, would astonish the Assadiation, The law contemplated that the Judges sbould recommend men who understood the law. Cook was an exceptional cfluntg in this respect. In view of this act, he moved to amend the resolution by adding a re- quest that no one but a lawyer be recommended for appointment. There were 1,000 lawsers in the city, and among them many men of culture who would take tie position and be a credit to th’i_ office. i ‘e amendment was accepted by Mr. Black. Mr. Gogein said it wouldn’t hey fair to pass the resolution. Some of the Judges were to be elected in the spring, and their clection mizht e put in jeopardy by heedin the request sug- gested by Mr. Antbony. Nome of the 1,100 wmembers of the Bar had stufled a vallot-box; none were adepts fn that line. If the Judges were deprived of their influence, some of them might be defeated. {Laughter.] He thought it was well enough to allow them torecommentd Coustables and _ex-Coustables, and gentlemcen who would reform—when they were dead Lagghter.] To requess the Judges to name awyers would be interfering with their prerog- ative. (Laughter.] Out of the 1.100, eleven or twelve might be found who would take placus that paid from $1,200 to $4,000 a year. For this reason he opposed the resolution. [Laughter.] Mr. Richberg questioned the propricty of the amendment. Le bad been told by su ex-Jus- tice that the busivess had run down so_ that it was impossible for 2 Justice to houestly make more thap $%0C or $1,000 2 year. They were oblized to churge flleral fees to make a living. For instance: A Justice charwed for ordering himself to order a_continuance. Perhaps they ofade $1,200 or $1,500 a year. He believed there were *some old gentlemen” who could discharge the duties of the oflice as well s lawyers. Mr. Anthony nooted at $1,200 o vear, charg- ing that the Justices made from $4,000 to $7,000 or $8.000. [A voice, *Yes, $10,000 in sowe in- stances.”] Mr. Moran gaid the fllegal fees might be true, but a large number of the Justices were honorable men, and tried to make their charges according to Jaw. The evil grew out of the Constable system. No law controlled their charges in cases of distraint; aud in other cases they conld charge what they pleased, since the Justice bad 110 con~ trol over them. The Justices were dependent on the Constables for busiucss,aud were humuu. Toe true remedy was legislation that would abolish the ollice of Coustable, and make pro- cesses servable by deputies appointed by the Sheriff, and put under heavy bonds. On motion of Mr. Withrow, farther consider- ation of the subject was deferred until the next meeting. APPELLATE COURT. The bill for an act in relation to the Appellate Court, reported previous by the Committee on Amendments of the Law, was next taken up, but there was such a diversity of opinion and 50 wany amendments were oifered that nothing could be dome; so a committee consisting of Messrs. Black, J. P. Wilson, Morap, Grant, and Moses Were appointed to consider the amend- ments, and report a week hence. ‘The Assoclation then adjourned. ————— Y COUSIN'S WIFE.

LaURA UNDEREILL. ———— Craces of an Early Race fn Japan. * Trof. Edward 8. Morse has written an inter- ¢sting paper on the “Traces of an Earlv Race in Japan,” which throws light on a subject hith erto wholly obscure. A race of men calied Ainos are believed to have come down from Kamtcbatka, and to have taken possession of Japan, which_they held until displaced in their turn by the Japanese from the south. Of the two races, the Ainos and the Jasanese. autnen- tic records exist, but nothiog has been known concerning the ancient people whose_territory was appropriated by the Aimos. The only knowledge obtained of them has been ingé- niously acquired by Mr. Morse by a careful study of “sheli-heaps’ in all respects simi- lar o those found along.the shores of Den- mark, New England, sod Florida. The de- posit discovered by Mr. Morse near Tokio contuined pottery and broken bones, many of which were human. Itis generally admitted by ethfologists that & people that has once ac- quired the art of pottery will always retain it; but, as neitber the Esquimaux, the Kamtcha- dales, nor the Ainos are essentially earthern- pot-makers, these remains paturally point to the former exiatence of a racein Japan who preceded the Ainos. Again, both the buman. and the deer bones found in this shell-heap were broken in a manner to facilitate the ex- traction of the marrow or to enable them to be placed in a cooking-pot,—a circumstance which points to the existence of cannibalism amono the peonle by whom the shell-beaps were made. On consulting Jupavese scholars and archeolo- gists, Mr. Morse learned that the Ainos were Tot only not cannivals, but were of an especially gentle disposition. The existence of an ancient race of cannibals in Japau, before the occupa- tion of that country h& the Ainos. is therefore ‘made very probable. Ve hope to see another paper_before long containing an account of Prof. Morse’s later researches. ———— Lsaghlng While Dylug. Luena Vista (Ga.) Avgus. On Thursday last Dr. Edwards was summoned to sce Mrs. Swearengin, wife of Mr. Arch. Swearengin, who lives about six miles above Tazewell. She was not thought to be danger- ously sick by berself or her family. Dr. Edwards found her sitting up in bed. talking and laugh- ing with her family and some [riends who were visiting her, and sbe appeared to be unususily Jively for ¢ sick person. Soon as he warmed sullicfently e approached the bed-side of bis patient, and, to his great sarprise, he discovered that Mrs. Swearengin, thoush sitting up, laugh- ini and talking, was actuallv dsing.. He gently informed her husband, who could mot realize the faet. e thought the Doctor was mistaken. Dr. Edwards ‘prescribed for the jovial woman, and left her without letting ber know of her rupid dissolution. On his way home he met Dr. Hall, whom he asked to call and see his patient, und aid ner restoration if possible. He too de- cidea that she was3 aying.
