Wilson to show canse why his name | *bould not be removed from the roll of mem- | bers of the bar. Cbief Justice Cartter asked if it was the | Faper whieh had been published. Mr. Browne answered in the affirmative. | The judges, after copsultation, declined to bear the motion untildne notice bad been given to the party. and copies of the petitioa server. At this point Mr. Wilson came in and iIn- quired if any instrument had been filed ia Which be was personaily interested. He did pet think that any gentleman having auy | charges against bim need have gone a long distance to give him notice. Judge Cartter said that they had jast de. cided that they would not hear any applica- tion of the kind unless notice was given the party interested, and they would take no ac- lion unless due notice was given such party r. Wilson.— Has any paper been filed? Judge Ourtter—The court is Informed that there has been—but not in open court or by leave of the court. Mr. Browne stated that he was employed | im the case onlg this morning, and therefore | the gentleman contd not deem him guilty of any professional discourtesy. Mr. Wilson said that hedid not rezard Mr. Browne as having been discourteous. He Mhought it would be better for him (Mr. W.) bot tospeak at all, but he did not want it understood that he was shrinking from any investigation. In his opinion it isa very peculiar state of afairs. that anybody can place on file @ paper of this kind without no- tice or intimation to the party interested, and then go about and give publicity to the contents of such paper. All he wished wa that atsore proper time and in the most publie manner the facts may become known. “Then,” said he,“I will be entirely con- tent.” The subject w: BOATING — then dropped. ———— —The race between the Apalostans and Potomacs will take place on wext Monday. the 25th inst.,at 4 o'clock.

Mr. Riddle raid that it was true that the arceny was the starting point for this com- pound comminuted fracture of the criminal laws of the District, but these offences were on the same subject matter, and if tried on | one they could not be tried on another of the indictments. Judge MacArthur at this point suggested that he had not the time to hear the argu- ment, and postponed the hearing until Sat- urday next. THE FISHFR ABSTRACTION CASE. The District Attorney calied attention to the two indictments against Chas. G. Fisher for the larceny of papers (informations) from the clerk's office.

' ANNUAL KEPOKT OF TH SURGEON IN > CHARGE. G’S Palmer, M. D., surgeon in chief of the Freedmen’s Hospital, of this city, hac sub- mitted his apnual report t& the Interior dé. partment. He states that the whole number of persons treated as inmates during the year vhich ended June 30th last was 480, of which 191 were admitted during the year. [is ebarges, cured, 114; dl ed, relieved, 30; Wed, 71; "in bexpital Jane 30 last, 265. Of this bumber 2 were cared for in the asylum and (4 as outdoor patents. Medicines and medi- cal attendance were furnished the Colored | Orphans’ Home. containing abont 99 orphans aud a few old persons; 466 destitute persons | who called at the hospital were preseribed | for during the year. ‘ost of the patients in the hospital arid asylum are persons who, on aceount of bodily infirmity, were perma- nently unfitted taking care of them- selves, and who originally found refuge in the various hospitals of the Freedmen’s Bu- reau, which hospitals had been established in all the confederate states, Kentucky and the District of Columbia. ALi of these hospitals were gradually closéd except three—one at Louisvile, one at Richmond, Va., and one in the District of Columbia, and finally these three wore colsolidated, and the most help- less patients who could not be disposed of otherwise were transferred to the Freed- men’s Hospital and Asylum, in the District of umbia. At thesame time the Freed- men’s bureau assumed the principal support of © colored orphans and 11 superannuated colored women in the Colored Orphans’ Home and Asylum for Aged Women, and thus the Freedmen’s Hospital and Asylum bad its origin. Many of these people were formerly slaves, and a portion of them be- longed to the Arlington estate. A large ma- Jority of these people are now so helpless, either from bodily infirmity or extreme old age, that they will require to be support d | from some source for the remainder of their | lives. They were transferred to this point because no town, city, county or siate could be found which would assume the care and suprort of them, and they became strictly and legitimately the wards of the general government and states is such that they can only look to the general governinent for sup- port. ——— District Government Affairs.

The court, after hearing the testimony, stated that the evi dence showed that the punishment of the boy was infitcted or threatened, not because of the mere fact of his having testified, but from the belief on the part of the respond- ents (es it appears) that the complaiuaat had testified falsely.
