Lovejoy, Toner, and Lieberman a committee to @ state- ment of facts explaining the status of the Medi- cal Seciety of the District of Columbia, with reference to the pi action of Congress for the repeal of its charter; which committee made a report last evening, in the nature of an appeal to Congress, which was signed by Doctors J. W. H. Lovejoy, C. H. Lieberman, J. M. Toner, and Wm. P. Johnston. The report, atter giving a history of the origin of the Society, denies the truth of the ch: that it has with prejudices and a tyrannical exercise of the powers con ferred on it by its charter, ret to certain individuals chartered rights which they could equitavly demand, sa} : “The falsity of this charge will be apparent upon an examination of accordin Sh the provisions of the charter;” which are quoted to sustain the denial.’ The appeal goes on further to assert that the So- ciety has never refused the right of membership {0 any applicant who had prc- ‘y app! pi sented a dij from respectable medical college and been by the Board of Exam iners. The pri ‘of membership is only for social reunion, one of optional association.

Several witnemes were examined, snetuding Drs, Potter (Coroner) and J. F.

Meeting of the Directors—The Capita. vo the Board of The regular monthly meeting of Directors of the Baltimore ard Ohio Railroad Company took place on Tuesday, in Baltimore, Mr. JW. Garrett, Eresident, in She chair. At Board, the President extended made some led re- marks in reference to the recent message Governor of to the General to the miam State's interest in We quote from the ig portion of Mr. Garrett’s remarks, as wR: “Very erroneous statements have been made throughout the various counties of. the State by hostile to the Baltimore an io road an that this company has been opposed to the construction of rallwane in other portions of the State. Thiscompany is in favor of a general railroad law, by which all persons wo build such roads could so, Le in providin sage to be desired by the people of the State. ‘he Governor states with most marked brevity, in reference toa very costly work now being presecuted by the company through two of the ‘most important counties in’ aryland— Frederick : “The Metropolitan road nt It will be gratifying to tlecitz nsof the State, who are not already aware of the fact, to learn that seven miles, from Washington northwest, and three miles from Point of Rocks southeast, of the Metropol- itan road have been constructed and the tracks laid, and that a large amount of expensive work has been done upon various other and heavy sections of the line. The sum expended upon this work probably exceeds the entire expendi- = eggs Baltimore and Potomoc road up to is time. It has been the aim of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to aid in the most compre- hensive manner in building up all the terests of the State of Maryland and of its chief city. Organized under the authority of the State, the company has been and continues to be profoundly anxious to accomplish all that its powers will permit in developing the great in- terests*of Maryland. It continues to construct great lines of Tailway, which open new, fertile and opulent: for commerce with the chief city of the State, and through most important sections of its territory, using its credit and in- Yesting its means largely and iiberally in order to etleet these objects, in many cases in unre. younerative enterprisés in our own and neigh- boring States. With a policy so useful, so en- larged, and producing such valuable results for the public interests, may not the company look for unprejudiced and equitable consideration of its relations with the State of Maryland ? Should the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which for years delayed and defeated the con- struction of the Pittsburg and Connellsville road, (intended to form a connection through Cumberland, the second city of the State, with Pittsburg and the vast Northwest,) and which finally did succeed in obtaining from the Legis- lature of Pennsylvania a repeal of the charter of that company—a charter that was only ulti- mately maintained after protracted litigation through the Seclsions ot the courts—shoul dthat same Pennsylvai ilroad Company, by its oa the acai on 5 Company, have an advantage over the great institution of Maryland, so effective in its past history in promoting and securing her interests, by having autherity to construct the Baltimore and Potomac road, not subject to the onerous requirements which have heretofore attached to the Washington Branch road? All that is asked is, that the parent road of the feat system of Maryland improvements should treated with equal consideration: that the Washington Branch road shall be placed in the same position as its competitor for business, and that the account of the Baltimore and Ohio Company tor monies advanced for the accom- modation and in the interests of the State should be fairly and justly considered. It trusts and does not doubt, that, through committees of the Senate and House of Delegates, the whole sub- Ject connected with the adjustment will be ex- amined into and acted upon in the spirit of equity and justice which has always distin- guished the government of the State.” ‘The Baltimore American, in referring to the subject, believes that the tax isan illegal one, and ought to be abolished, but says: « This docs not affect the claim of the State upon that which has already been collected. ‘The Baltimore and @hio railroad does not pay one cent of State, city, or county taxes on any of its many millions of property in Maryland, everything it owns being exempt. If it’ buys’ a piece of property anywhere in the State, it is at once stricken oif the tax-liste. Then the favors it has received from the State seem also to be overlooked by Mr. Garrett. But for the liberality that has been extended to it time after time, it would not now be the wealthy corporation, extending its branches in every direction, which the Presi- dent so eloquently describes.” EDWARDS AND COLLYER MATCHED. The New York World, January 11, says: Some weeks since, Billy Edwards, a noted pigilist ot this city, challeged any man in the country to tight him at 124 pounds for $1,000 and the light- weight championship. Sam Collyer, of Balti. more, whom Edw: once defeated, desirous of another trial of endurance and skill, accepted the challenge, and offered to toss tor choice of C= Edwards, fearful of foul play in case ¢ should lose the toss and have to fight in Vir- ginia, would only consent to ground within 400 miles west of New York. Collyer did not like this, but being very anxious to fight, finally came to terms, and on Saturday last signed ticles to fight on Wednesday, the 2d of March, and ‘a forieit was put up in Frank Queen's ands. Edwards will go into training in a few days near McCoomb’s Dam, with Dooney Harris as adviser and tutor. Collyer’s backers are in Baltimore and Brooklyn, while Edwards has the support of a Wallstreet broker and a sporting man in Elmira. Both men have improved since their last encounter, and the coming tight will bea lively one. The first mill between these men came off near Cone river, Va., for $1,990 a side, and Edwards was victor in forty-seven rounds—time one hour and forty-seven minutes. Collyer has had much the most ring experience, but the New Yorker is said to possess enormous a of endurance added to great skill and lence.
