Quite a large delegation was present from nearly every State in the Union. Soon after the President called the conven- tion to order, the case of Dr. Pallen, of Mo., was called up. Dr. M. A. Pallen, at the last meeting of the Medical Association, which was held at Boston, was expelled from the associ- ation for having, it was alleged, participated in @ proposed attempt to n the croton res- ervoir. near the city of New York. On mo- tion, & committee was appointed to examine his case. After nearly an hour's deliberation. the committee came in, and reported that from what they could ascertain the charges made againet Dr. Pallen were false, and with- out any foundation whatever. They said, also, that it is due to express a regret that such au ection bad been taken by the association at its last meeting totry to injure an innocent member of the profession. They suggested that Dr. Pallen be immediately reinstated as a member of this association. Aftera lively dis- cussion, y ardeaaengy in _by Drs. S. Antisell, ‘bvler and Allen, ot the District; Drs. Bowen, of Md.; Sayre, of N. Y.,and Ordway, of Mass,, the report of the commitiee was unanimously adept, which was reeeived with tremendous app Janse, committee was then appointed to wait on Dr. Pallen, to inform him of the action of the association, and invite him to be present and Participate in their deliperations. In a few minutes the committee returned, accompinied ty Dr. Palen, who, in a few very approprine and touching remarks, thanked the association jor the action it had taken. After the report of various standing com- mitiees, the association adjourned till nine o’clock to-morrow morning. ‘There will be given to-night by the medical fraternity a grand concert and entertat ‘at the Concordia Opera Hoase, which Medical Asso- Jargely attended by the members present in thiseity.
