A communication was received from Mr. Mer- rick calling the attention of the association to the charges contained in the pamphlet, and re- questing that the association have a thorough insestigation into the matter. Mr. Merrick characterized the charges as utterly false, and said Green knew them to-be false when he pub- lished them. Remarks were made in reference to the case by @ number of those present, and several res- ofutions were offered, all looking te an ul@mate investigation, and finally the following resolu- tion was adopted: Resolved, That at the request of R. T. Mer- rick, a member of this association, a com:nittee of three be appointed to investigate the charges preferred in the pamphlet bearing the signa- ture of Ben. E. Green. Many membersof the association were in favor of ignoring the pamphiet altogether as un- worthy of notice, the charges being too vague and general, but as Mr. Merrick had requested the investigation a committee was ordered. The following committee was appointed :—A_ G. Riddle, E. L. Stanton and William F, Mat- tingly.

W. A. Cook, esq., being present, was ques- tioned on the law points by Messrs. Thomas, Straker, Purvis, and Cryer. He said denunci- ation would do no good whatever, and the pro- per remedy was to go to the Congress of tne Jnited States. He was in favor of mixed schools; had been committed to it by an official opinion during Mr. Bowen's administration. On motion 20,600 copies of the address of D. A. Straker and that of C. M.
