Mr. Hegeman, of New York, desired to get an expression of opinion by the Convention in rela- tiom to the bill now before Congress, providing tor the greater security of the medical profession, and the public generally in the matter of impor- tation of drugs and medicines. ‘The Chair thought this a question of some im- portance to the profession, Unt thought the Con- vention Lad better confine its deliberations to the suatters which bad called them together. Dr. Parrish spoke in bigh praise of the New York College of Pharmacy for their action in es- teblishing standards tor the strength and purity of drugs, but be thought it best for this Conven- tion not to interfere at all with the matter Mr. Carney, of Boston, thoug it an expression of nion by this convention might be of benetit to ause of drugs aud medicines before Congress ‘The Chair stuted that the matter would more appropriately come before the two bodies. the Auwericaa Medical Association and the Pharma- : bh were svou to meet.

Dr. Parrish speke upon the subjectof uniformity of weights and measures by the profession ail over the country, recommending the avoirdupeis ounce as the standard of weight The Chair tought the time before the conven- tion too suort to make the discussion of this ques- tion a profitable one Mr. Taylor, of Philadeipbia, a gentleman who has written much on this subject, addressed the the Convention by invitation, advocating the abolishment of the troy and avoirdupois scales now used, and substituting the grain as the unit for all weights less than a veirdupois.

The testimony in the case is as follows: E. D. Willard. sworn.—W ouid not like to say this fs the man Acta at the hotel, though he has the appearance. He was of the firm of Noble. Hays & Noble, of New York. ‘Tue key he had with bim big to the hotel. He was there a week, nearly. His brother paid his bill since he 1 ft. He was wealthy, P. Emerich, swora —Examined his pockets; found a gold watch, papers, $6.70 in money, @ penknife, articles of jewelry; be took a room at iifty cents a day; he paid in advance; eo here since the 13th April. I heard of the missing man after the advertisement in the Srar. He bad been drinking, and I being afraid of his having the mania, asked bim if he wanted a doc- tor le said no. He had two bottles; one con- tained citrate of morpbia, and the other con- tained laudanum. Would not let bim have liquor without prescription. He gave his nime as George N Davis. HC. Schele, sworn.—Knew the deceased since he was in the house—a couple of weeks; set up with bim last night; went there a little before 12; he died about 3 ¥ o’clock this morning. He asked for water, which | gave him; he then asked for brandy. | found a few drops in a bottle, and gave him an ale-glass full of water with the drops of brandy in it. He would have no doctor; he died very easy. A little boy remained witk him in the room David Bruce, the boy, sworn.—Could not say how long he was at the house. He was taken sick on Wednesday; he was in bed until Thurs- day. Witness went up last night at 7 o'clock. Heasked bim for brandy; witness teaspoonful of water. He was at that time very weak. Witness remained with him until Schele came. Witness, at the request of deceased, bathed his bead in ice water. Gave him (out of the bottle of morphine) a teaspoonful, and a half tumbler of water; half an hour afterwards he began to throw up; gave him the same dose again. He said he felt mie it was an hour and a half between the doses t. Emrich proposed to havea doctor, but he declined. I measured the doses with my eye; didn’t havea spoon. He was able to get up. be bottle was a little fuller when I left him than now; did not notice the bottle after 1 went down for the ice to bathe bis bead. Mr. Schele, recalled. —1 gave him water; he threw it up. Mr. Emerich recalled. —Did not know unti] yes- terday he was sick go a Doctor could do nothing for him; he had been so before; all he wanted was rest; did not think him so {il at the time; bis habit was to get up in the morning and drink brandy; was intoxicated once; about a week ago body. No Dr J.G F Holston examined the marks of external violence; but of disease of some standing. He appears to be about 35 years of age. It was a complicated disease. No evidence of desta by violence; smell of opium at the moutb. Death produced by influence of opium, or intoxi- cating liquors. One of the vials contains citrate of morphia, an external preparation of opium. Twenty or thirty drops of which isa full dose. The doses of the boy might produce a fatal re- sult. No positive assertion of this fact can be made without a chemical analysis. The other vials contained an elixer of opium. A smell at the mouth indicates optum more than liquid The disease bad nothing to do with the death. Richard Croflor, sworn.—He evideatly is the same man who was at Wiliards’; knew his name of New York; y;_ did not seem always right; nearly all the time in Lis room; of very temperate habits; after he left the hotel [ never saw him; did not know about his money; his brother or his friend said he had a large amount; he was at the time of his decease a broker, and reputed to be a very sober man_at home Ar. Emrich recalled —Found him sick at five o'clock; did not think ill; he told me nothing of family matters; sent every day for the Star. | telegraphed to the person indicated in the adver- Usement in the Star, on account of the advertise- ment; the description was so close as to induce It Witness got no answer. Mr. Ostermayer claimed the reward. Mr. Fanning came to esk about it; witness told bir he was sick He re: ived all the attention he requt:ed during bis stay. Ostermnayer gave the information relative to the advertisement Witness believed be ‘soned himself yesterday afternoon. Witness believed he took inore stuff than h: would otherwise have done, because of the advertisement in the Star; he thought this advertisement induced him to poison himself He paid as he went; witness changed three ten dolicrs bills for him; learned that he was dead this morning. Mr. Turpin, one of the jurors sworn —Clerk in Ford's druy store; saw the deceased eight days ayo; came into Ford’s eary in the morning, at ~ o'clock He said he had been drinking hard for some eight or ten days, and asked for some- thing to calm his nerves. I gave him Mc- Munn’s elixir of opium; told him to take it by the printed directions—ten or fifteen drops to the dose; came two days efterwards and got two bottles of the same. The boy came to the store on Wednesday, and said a gentleman wanted two bottles more of the same Capt. Goddard related the circumstances of the dispatches baving been received from his friends in New York by the police here. and the Police having been looking out for him since. Also, the police of Baltimore and New York being on the lookout for him. Mr. Schoolcraft, a gentleman at Emrich’s teati- fied to the exceilent care that was taken of him Tue Tueatee.—The Heller entertainment was unexpectedly postponed at the Theatre last nizht, by reason of an accident which happened to Mr Heller, there, about 6 o’clock.

Cuartrstox, May 3.—The Convention was called to order at 10 o'clock. Mr. Russell, of Va, made an explanation with regard tothe Tennessee com, se resolutions, and offered the following resolution Resolved. That when this Convention adjourns to-day it adjourn to meet in Baltimore on the eth day of June, in order to afford the States that are not now represented an opportunity to fill up their delegations Mr. Mason, of Ky., raised a point of order that the resolution must lie over one day under the rules. The President decided that the resolation was in order A motion was made and carried to suspend the balloting. The vote was ayes 199, nays 57 A delegate from Tennessee moved to strike out Baltimore and insert Philadelphia. [At this time the excitement and confusion was so great that it was difficult to hear anything that was said ] Mr. Randall moved an amendment substituting Philadelphia as the place and tue 4th of July as thetime. “+ ¢ Mr. Ludlow, of New York, moved to tneer anda’ tute was also ted by SS, nays 166, and the originai aod re tesnent at Baltimore on the iSth of June adopted by yeas 166, nays SS ds Mr. Stuart, of Mich , moved that the convention adjourn. Gen Spratt proposed three cheers for the national democratic party, which were given enthusiast!- cally Mr Miles, of Md., hoped arrangements would be made for printing the official proceedings. Mr. Cushing, saad hore then addressed the convention, remarking that notwithstanding the deep and conflicting Interests involved, he might say that no convention having such immense in- terests at stake Lad ever sat for so great a length of time with the observance of so great a share of order and freedom from personalities or offensive language. He hag endeavored most impartially sud honestly to fuMMl the duties of the chair, and if indhe excitement of the moment he had been led to use any abrupt language to gentlemen, be humbly apologized He regarded this convention as not only having in its destiny the permanence of the Democratic party, but the question whether these great Uni- ted States suould continue and endure. He would not, however, relincr 4 the hope that the Union would continue u. .. eternity. and be felt confi- dent the convention would adjourn to-day with the determination to do all in their power to re- store harmony and confidence. Mr. Brent, of Baltimore, extended a cordial in- vitation to the Democracy of the Union to accept the hospitalities of that city. The convention then adjourned, about ! o'clock The delegates immediately rushed for the cars, and a general exodus took place. It is-said the adjournment was in pursuance of advice sent from Washington by Senator Doug- las’s friends. CONVENTION OF THE SECEDERS. The southern seceders met at noon. about forty delegates being present Senator Bayard, of Del aware, presided. Tbe motion pending was that the Convention ae references for candidates for President and Vice President A delegate from Texas moved that the resolu- tion be referred to a committee of one from each State. The delegates from Alabama and Texas were prepared to act at once Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, the author of the reso- lution, withdrew ft. Mr. Burrows, of Arkansas, presented a resolu- tion for appointing a standing committee of one from each State to issue an address to the demo- cratic party of the Union. He said this conven- tion had in its possession the ark of the covenant— the resolutions adopted by seventeen States of the Union—and it was a point around whict the country would rally Judge Meeks, of Ala , offered a substitute, thet the committée be appointed merely to prepare an address giving the reasons for the course a He further said that any Southern State that went into the Baltimore Convention did so as an ap- prover of squatter sovereignty. The Convention just on the eve of an adiournment bad adopted a resolution inviting the Southern States to till up the vacancies occasioned by their secession. He was in favor of the nomination of Jefferson Davis and Bayard, but he would yield to the wishes of otsers to fcrezo the expression of a preference at tiis time. Mr. Burrows withdrew his proposition. Mr. Jackson, of Ga., moved the Convention now adjourn sine die Mr. Hitt, of Ga., said if the object was to make this a disunion movement he and his collea were prepared to leave at once. His constituents would approve of nothing that would tend to dis- union Mr. Y — asked to whom he alluded as fa- voring disanion? Mr. Hill asked to be excused from answerin; Mr Yancey demanded an answer, as he wished it to go to the country that there bad been no word or deed tending to a dissolution of the Union Mr. Will admitted nothing of the kind bad been said or done; but the position they would be put in by this action would make them a disunion combination. ‘Their attitude would be a disunion attitude. Judge Meek, of Ala., said he was and always had by a firm Union man, if their constitutional rights Were respected. He denied that any dis- nuion sentiments bad been uttered there’ He thought the proposition to disband a singular one They were about separating witbout recommend- ing or taking any action with regard to the Presi- dency. He therefore moved that, should the timore Convention repudiate their resolution committee be authorized to call a National Con- vemion, mr. Jackson, of Ga., thought this was n6 time toecry **Union,” **Union.”’ There was no man in Georgia who wovld shout for the Union at the expense of the rights of the South. (Applause } When the rights of the South were sacrificed be wes for liberty first, union afterwards. [Cheers.) If taere was no one to stand by him, be must then quit the South. Mr. Whitely, of Del., moved to lay Judge Meek’s resolution on the table and adjourn. The delegates of each State could give to their constit- nents their reasons for the course pursued. He was opposed to any genera! address, and moved the Convention adjourn Judge Meek, of Ala., said that if any one sup- poset bim to be devoted to the Union at the ex- pense of the rights of the South, he was mistaken Sever the Constitution and the Union was gone He wished to vindicate before the world, as well as the Union, their position. He wanted this moveme it to be properly expressed Mr. Barry, of Mi iss., hoped the Convention would separate in harmony. He had not urged the extremest doctrines of States rights. He wes opposed to this banding, and advocated an ad- journment, in imitation of the other convention Mr. Barry further said - “ The platform may be ned at Baltimore, and be changed te suit our jews. I think we are Ge reed to that conven- tion. We ought to go to Ballimore. If our con- stituents choose to fill our places with other dele- gates, they can doso. We are still members of that convention, aud no one but our constituents can take our credentials from us. | therefore hoy e this course will be pursued.’ ‘he President — Oh, no, that will not do.” Mr. Hooker, of Miss., opposed the proposition of Mr. Barry, saying they were no longer dele- ites of that convention. They Separated om them on principle, and he was unwill: that they should eo to Baltimore as an edjunct that convention. d they ——— a say- ing or doing an ng they wou! tify them- ves. If they sean ge to Baltimore the moral effect of the movement would be lost. He de- sired them manfully and boldly to make their nomination. He was for action. If they went home without it, they would be merely enun- clating a seatiment about which there was no dif- ference of opinion atthe South. They should act promptly and boidly. Mr. Y: aporoved the ition of Judge Meek, of Als Saas “26 Capponi ba to prepare an address. Hedid not think it would eittter save or the Union. The delegate from G ia, in predict a disunion move- ment and disunion leaders, looked to the G 12 delegation, but declined Tare ahora - meant. Another delegate seemed h~ him with si: to the Union.
