THE BROAD CHURCH MOVEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA. {From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Oct. 4. We happened, fortunately, to be present at Epiphany church yesterday morning, and were interested much beyond our expectations. time since, it appears, a number of our prominent clergymen of different de- nominations signed a paper, which was published in all the religious and some of the daily journals, the bearing of which was that they they were deeply concerned at the divisions among Christians. ‘They proposed that there should be a concert of prayer for catholic unity onthe first Monday in October. ‘Tho Rev. J. W. Carcroft offered the Epiphany church, Fifteenth and Chestuut streets, for a meeting of the minis- ters atnine @’clock. When we arrived at the church, at perhaps twenty minutes after nine, we found it crowded in almost every part with an audience of ladies and gen- tlemen. This, of itself, at so early au hour, on a week day, was exciting. Looking around we saw everywhere clergymen of all denominations, and we have been told that one hundred and fifty were present. Mr. Crasroft presided, ministers of the churches crowding about him in and around the chancel. The Rev. Dr. Boardman, of the Presbyterian church fo 8.), opened the meeting with prayer. Mr. Cracroft read’ from the Scriptures. He then read a letter from Bishop Mclivaiue, of Ohio, cor- dially approving the object of the meeting. Dr. Norr, for half a century President of Union College, Schenectady, New York, of the Presbyterian church (Vid Sehool), then rose, with some assistance from Dr. Jen- kins and Dr. Duffleld, of Detroit, an exceedingly venera- bie figure, with snow white hair, and, leaning on his staf for he feels the weight of four score years—he addressed to the assemblage a few words breathing the spirit of Christian union. The Chairman then called upon the ve- nerable Dr. Humplirey,, of the Congregational church, late President of Amherst’ College, Massachusetts, who res- Ponded in a similar strain, marked with much modesty as well as Christian fervor. The Rev. W. B. Stevens, D.D., of the Episcopal church, who, as we understood from his remarks, drafted the ori. ginal paper, then addressed the meeting, stating that he had not imagiaed, when he wrote it in his study, that such cousequeaces were to grow out of so simple and unobtru- sive a movement. He was followed by the Rev. Albert Barnes, one of the signers of the paper, who carried for- ward the meetingin the same spirit. Prayer and singing were interspersed at intervals. Dr. Jenkins, of the Cal- vary church, Presbyterian (N. S.), made a very earnest Specch as to the nesessity of the manifestation of the Unity which really exists among Christians, stating among ther things that there is a cure for all existing divisions, ‘The most interesting incident of the meeting ovcurred at ‘this point—an incident, so far as we know, unparalleled in the history of Protestantism. Dr. Nevin, of the Presby- terian church (0. 8.), rose and stated thatthe Apostles’ Creed was one of the symbols of his church, and it might ‘be of all the churches represented, and proposed that Mr. Cracroft should repeat it as the creed of the meeting, all Standing and joining in it. Instantly every individual of ‘the vast assembly sprang to his feet. The chairman began: “*T believe in God, the Futher Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth.”” Every voice joined him. Nearly two thou. sand people—Episcopalians, Presbyterians (Old and New School), Seceders, Covenanters, Dutch Reformed, German Reformed, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Moravians, Congregationalists, Independents—all repeated with the simplicity of children this grand old formula which has come down to us on the stream of ages—‘“I believe in God, the Father Almighty.” Even a calm spectator, not easily excited, aud standing aloof from any enthusiasm of the moment, could not but be moved. As the ‘Apostles’ Creed,’’ go called, is the ouly uninspired summary of Christian doctrine in which all’ these churches believe, it seemed like an act of union of the Church Universal. It brought startlingly, and, jndging from the appearance of the congregation, affectingly, to every individual the idea so much lost sight of, that in all that is essential these Christians, cut up into what are called ‘sects,’ are, in fact, one. Addresses and prayers followed from Rev. Dr. Newton of the Episcopal church, the venerable Mr. Kennard of the Baptist eburch, Mr.’ Alfred Cookman of the Metho- dist, and Mr. Taylor of the Reformed Dutch. Mr. Cook- man made the eXcellent remark that the points in which Evangelical churches agree are facts, while those on which they-difler are, for the most part, theories, and the latter made a touching allusion to the funeral of the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, the former rector of Epiphany church. The last speaker was Mr. Wilder, a missionary from India, who dweit upon the interest which would be taken in this scene by the missionaries all over the world. ‘The large assembly was then dismissed with the benedic- tion pronounced by the Rev. John Chambers, the meet- ing, instead of lasting an hour, haying been prolonged to nearly two hours and a half. A meeting, in pursance of the same circular, was held at Jayne’s Hall atfour P. M At this ail were invited to take part, the meeting in the morning being specially for clergymen, though others were invited to be present. The afternoon meeting was immense. Itcan only be num- bered by thousands. The floor, platform, boxes, galleries, were nearly everywhere filled with people. The exercises, in their general tone, were similar to those in the morn: ing. These meetings may affect our readers variously; but | no one can help being struck with them as indicative of a general and remarkable movement connected with the progress of Christiauity.

Our organization enables us to welcome all who sincerely seek 8 pure Bible to one common platform; and this without regard to their connection with other orgunizations—without reference to their views on other aubjects, or any other circumstances whatever. If br et desirous of pressing to their heart a Bible which forbids whatever things are wrong, then they are entitled to equal privileges with ail other friends of the inatitu- tion. No man has a patent whereby he can arrogate to himself these privileges. But they must, of nesesaity, be free to all, while the Word of God continues to be the rule of faith, and individual man possesses the diving right of its interpretation. ‘With this view, we may address ourselves anew to our holy work, and cordially extend the hand of fellowship to every man, woman and child whois willing to assist us ‘to procure and circulate the most faithful versions of the sacred Scriptures Ubroughout the world.” Amen.

The relent- Jees opposition encountered in ita carly years has, in a measure, ceased. Many former opposers have become convinced of the utility of the revision movement, and the past year is marked by an unusual increase in bum- bers of friends to the Union. The gradual developement of the plans of the organization has won multitudes to its support. More revisions have been published; more re- vealed truth has been evolved from obscurity; more er- rors have been corrected in the common English version, and more work has been performed, in every way, by the officers and revisers than in any other year. ‘The 360th hymn was —— Benediction was pronounced. .

The session closed with the singing of the doxology and a bene- diction. {The second day’s proceedings commenced on Thursday with prayer and singing. The various committees appointed the day before, sub- mitted their reports, which were adopted—the reports being accompanied by short addresses from those who offered them. Rev. Mr. Oscoop then came forward and deliver! address. He alluded principally to the immorality and | infidelity which existed in Germany, and showed how necessary it is that the Union should urge on its work | there. Rev. Dr. Hackerr followed. He refuted the assertion that the work of the Union was sectarian, and contended that some of the translators were otter than Baptiste, and that if the work was a one-sided one it would soon be exposed in this enlightened age.

The whole sub- Ject was ultimately left to a committee appointed for that purpose, which soon after reported upon the arrangement to be pursued in this Convention. Dr. Wizxy, of Conn., offered the following rosolu- tion: — That the reporters for Church papers be admitted to seats on this floor, and all proper accommodations to be afforded them by the Secretary. Mr. Weusn, lay delegate of Pennsylyania, moved to strike out the word “church.”? 3 Dr. Wittey said his object in offering the resolution was that the reporters should not fecl that they were here as intruders, but that they might continue to hold the seats He accepted the amendment, and the resolution was adopted. Documents in relation to the admission of the diocess of ‘Kansas into union with the Convention were submitted, and referred to the Committee on New Diocesses. On motion of Dr. Hawks, of New York, it was ordered that the question of an amendment of the sixth article of the constitution be made the order of the day for Wed- nesday next. The Secretary was instructed by resolution to order the printing of 600 copies of the list of delegates who answer- ed to their names, as also of the standing committees. At this stage of the proceedings the President introduced to the Convention the Bishop of Nova Scotia, who took his seat beside him, in conformity with a resolution adopted yesterday. ‘The Paesipest then announced that a meeting of the Board of Missions was to be held in the course of the ses- sion of the Convention, wherew Dr. Hows, the Secretary, moved that the different delo- gations be called upon to-morrow (Friday) morning to present the documents in their possession for the conside- ration of the Convention, and that they also pay to the treasurer the pecuniary contributions required to defray the expenses of the Convention. “Agreed to. Judge Conyncuam, of Pa., moved that the secretary be required to cause 1,600 copies of the sermon of Bishop ey, de d yesterday, tw be printed for the use of the Convention. He said that, that was the number ordered to be printed in 1856 of the sermon then delivered. He did not know but that owing to the great merit and im- Portance of the sermon of Bishop Otey, a larger num! might be required. If'so, he was willing to modify motion. A MrMngn sniggested that 3,000 copies be printed, wi was accepted by the original mover. Dr. C. W. Fricu, of Ohio, said he meant to offer a reso- lntion which he bad written, the object of which was to abolish the system of publishing sermons, “If this re- solution was now adopted, while it would not effect the motion now before the Convention, the plan of uui- form publication in the future would be discontinued. There muy be things uttored in these convention sermous, of which they could not approve, and by adopting the plan proposed by him no responsibility could attach to the Convention for any such utterances, while the order to print would necessarily involve an endorsation of all that these sermons contained. Judge CoxyNcuam made some ovservations as to the dif- ficulty of hearing the gentleman at the distance he stood from him. He could not exactly say whether his remarks Were in opposition to the motion which he (Judge C.) of- fered or not. He was convinced of the propriety of pub- lishing the sermon referred to, because he, a8 a parent, fistening to that sermon, felt desirous that the principles which were therein enunciated should be known as principles that were recognized by a Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of these United States, #nxious for their propagation broadcast throughout the Jand. There was nothing in that sermon—he meant no particular expression or word that may have been in it—but in the great to treated uy there was nothing to which the oot Possible objec? tion could be made. He knew of nothing moreimportant. than the question of Christian education, which formed the subject of that sermon, and he was therefere anxious that the whole production should be spread abroad. If it was the object of the gentleman to offer a resolution with @ prospective intent, he could do so after the adop- ‘tion of resolution now before the Convention. Noamendment being offered, the question on the adop- tion of the resolution ordering 3,000 copies of the sermon to be printed was put and carried. Dr. F. Vixtox, of New York, said that at the last Convention held in Philadelphia in 1856, that house wg the following resolution, which was to be d_on page 140 of the journal of that Convention:— “Resolved, (the House ot Bishops concurring), that canons 1 and 2, of 1853, be repealed.” Dr. V. a J when this resolution was offered by him, Mr. J. N. Conyngham, as seen by the journal, moved to lay it on the tabje, which motion was lost. ‘The question then re- curred on the resotation to repeal and {t was carried out. ‘This canon, continued Dr. V., was made for the purpose of declaring a gis presbyter or deacon of the church ‘peo facto depowed in all cases whore presbyter, or deacon, raid i without avail- ing himself of the provisions of canons 2 and 5 of 1860, has abandoned her communion, or shall hereafter abandon it, cither by an iN renunciation of the doc- trines, discipline and worship of formal admiseion into any rel ot in com. munion with the same—if a ere yter or deacon, he shall be pronounced deposed by the Bishop having Jurisdiction, with the consent of the Standing Committeo; and if a bishop, by the presiding Bishop, with the conscut of the majority of the meinbers of the House of Bishops, And the second canon, or canon 2, provided that in any pro- ceedings against a presbyter or deacon, under canon 1 of 853, by his bishop, whenever. the abandonment charged shail not bo ovidonced by writing signed+by the party “he shall have three months notice, to be given in such man- wer a& may be proscribed by the Bighop, that puis depoal- _ SUNDAY, will be_ pron guar Now it failure.

In th discussion of this question reference was had to # canon of similar import to that now under consideration, which had been passed by the lower house two conventions pre- vious, and which had been declared unconstitutional, the ‘House of Bishops failed in its notification of non- the canons were {n full operation. Dr. Cuamnuns, of Pennsylvania, agreed with the gentle- man from New York, ae Vinton,) that the canons con- tinued in full force, the House of Bishops having failed to give their reasons for their non-concurrence within the period de in the constitution, He regretted, how- ever, that the question was brought up this morning, be- lieving the better course to have been to defer the us sion until to-morrow, when the constitutional question which was made the order of the day would be under consideration. At ay be Seg lens sg this subject was on the second ol session, A message was rh to the House of Bishops informing them of the pas- eage of the resolution Fepealing these canons, which mes- sage Was answered on last day, Now, counting this last day, yesterday and to-day, we have the three days within wi it would be competent for the House of Bishops to give the reasons for their non-concurrence. By sending up the matter to the House of Bishops now. might not this requirement of the constitution be fulfilled and the whole difficulty be thus settled? If the Sean could not be disposed of, he hoped it would be (a for to-day and taken up to-morrow, when the House would pugs the amendment to the third act of the constitu- tion. Dr. Hows, the Secretary, said:—He understood the gentleman from New York to say that in the Convention of 1850, the House of Bishops sent back a e of noa- concurrence in the age of the canon. y sent back no message at all; and with regard to the other matter of Sact stated—to wit, that OP ee ets tha: ba ee @ statute in consequence of its simi , only the canon of 1850 was declared to be the law of the church— he would state that the secretary recorded the canon of 1850 referred to as canon 7 of that date; but the canon proposed in 1853 did not go in as an associate of the canon 0f 1850, These references he made to correct mere state- ments of fact. Dr. Vinton did not mean to infer that the canon pro- 'd in 1858 was associated with that of 1860. He mere- ly wanted to show that the action now proposed was the same taken in the House ef Bishops before; and that, therefore, there was nothing invidious in our taking this course, Dr. Mkap was of opinion that, technically speaking, more than three days bad elapsed since the House repeat- ed these canons; and he believed that the subject might now be sent upto the House of Bishops fur its action, without violating any constitutional requirement. He was glad, howover, that the subject was Drought forward at this time. He would not speak invidiously, but would re- mark that i¢ was an easy thing to give the go-by to a pro- position opposed by that House, as was the case in.1850. At was not then acted upon, the object being piace de Jet it fall still born. He was happy that the subject had come up, that the House may see the great impropriety of attempting, as they will be called upon to do to-morrow, to amend the third article of the constitution by strik- tug at’ thie -very feature, whieh. in moro than three in- ros has compelled. ‘action upon important subjects here- tofore. Dr. Sravens, of Pa, moved that the subject be referred to the Committee on Canons, to report what ia the status Of canons one and two. Dr. Sore, of Ky., made some remarks, in which he traced some analogy between the constitution of the Pro- testant Episcopal church and that of the United States. ae almost utterly inaudible at the point occupied by reporter. Dr. Vinton said there was no analogy between the two constitutions, for the constitution of the United States gave special directions as to what should be done in case of a veto of the President—what should be the majority that could overrule that veto. Our constitution makes it mandatory on the House of Bishops, in case of disapprobation of any measure of this House, that they shall give their reasons for non-concurrence within three days. (He quoted from the constitution the provision making this requisition.) As to the distinction between the two constitutions, he would ask the gentleman to examine the third article of the con- stitution, and he would find that all the rights of the House of Bishops, as well as of this House, under the constimtion were qualified. He had no objection to this subject being referred to the Committee on Canons. He Presented the question to the House because the amend- ment of the third article of the constitution was made the order of the day for to-morrow, and it was before that article was changed that he wished to take advantage of the law and constitution under which they had hitherto been living. Judge Coxyxcnam said there was one matter to which he desired to call the attention of the House. In the pre- sent case the Bishops, acting upon this very subject, did return a message to this House stating that they did not con- cur in its action upon these canons. He believed this was de- fective action, inasmuch as they did not give their reasons. But when that was received from the House of Bishops, it was accepted by the House of Deputies as the action of the House of Bishops, when it was nothing more than a defective execution of a duty which it was in the power of this House to overlook, and which they did overlook. Dr. Viyton said it was the last day when this report came in, and this was the first opportunity they had to bring the matter up for discussion. Dr. Hawks, of New York, said the last observation that fell from the gentleman from New York (Dr. Vinton), suggested to him why they should consent to the pro- Position of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Dr. Stevens). The only rigid consideration in connection with the question of non-concerrence which should cause its reference, as it seems to me, is that of its legal bearing, inasmuch, while there is a technical rule, no fact is better known in the experience of this body than that we can and © ‘it ig @ matter of vital consequence that should preserve in its full integrity this provision which ‘we have inserted a8 the only means of knowing whattrans- pires in that body. He did not rise to check the ai to refer this matter to the Committee on Canons. He thought it was-the best course that could be pursued; but he did rise to dissent from some of those propositions that i been made. “oe ‘Stevens offered the following as a substitute for the ‘other motion submitted :— Resolved, That it be senere’ ieteges Scenery a4 ae Ca- consideration, and to repor' use, reagent 4 and the atatus of such legis: » Cape ee ne, aniere vention of 2t eaten ms brief discussion this amendment wag agreed to.

Dr. Tatnot, of Indiana, offered a resolution that the next Convention be held at Chicago, Ill, This gave rise to some discussion, in the course of which ‘ Mr. H. D. Evans, of Md., offered an amendment, fixing New York as the place of meeting, which was lost. Before the vote was taken on Dr. Talbot’s motion, Areport was submitted from the committee on the ad- mission of new diocesses, in relation to the admission of Minnesota. The report closed with the following resolu- tion:— Resolved (the House of Bishops concurring), That the diocess of Minnesota be admitted into the union of the Genera) Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America. Pending the vote on the motion to hold the next Con- vention at Chicago, the Oonvention adjourned. Fomites Once More on the Platform. NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MEDICINE. A large meeting of the membgrs of the above named institution was held at the University, near Washington park, at eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. In the absence of Dr. Watson, the President of the Society, by unanimous accord Dr. Foster was called to the chair. Dr. SewEut stated that there prevailed a very unusual extent of remittent aud intermittent fever in the city this fall, Dr. Griscom read a lengthy and elaborate paper on thé philosophical basis on which the question ag to the con- tagious or non-contagious nature and properties of yellow fever should be discussed. The address was founded upon a resolution of the National Quarantine Sanitary Convention, held in this city in the month of April last, and which declared that in the absence of any evidence establishing the conclusion that yellow fever has ever been conyeyed by one person to another, it was the opinion of Convention that personal quarantine of cases of yellow fever might be safely abolished, provided that fomites of overy kind be entirely restricted. This was concurred in and adopted by the Academy of icine on the occasion of one of its meetings, and the treatise read last ae very learnedly gave reasons of learned gentlemen who had done of physiology, said Dr. Griscom, clearly indicated yelon fever was not contagious, but that the means to its dissemination were to be — in the state of cover oie in filthy dwellings, over-crowded tonem: jouses, an other causes of the same kind. The definition of the word ‘ fomites”” was again brought forward by the doc- tor, who quoted extensively from the dictionaries, and from the writings-of the followers of Asculapius in all ages, to show that the of the word t heat, ag understood’ in the sense of its conveyance As by sparks from heated iron. He made several quotations from a late ih of Dr. Francis, which supplied arguments in favor the contagious nature of yellow fever, defining where and how the doctrines enunciated by thg venerable Doctor were false and untenable. In ‘his long and able paper, Dr. Griscom observed that Dr. Francis had called the Convention an unsanit association, but with all re- spect he would say that the {unatic always believed every- body mad but himself. (Su; merriment.) Dr. Reese followed wi @ powerful paper on the opposite side of the question. He combatted the absurdity that fomites could circulate cont m when the patient that communicated the poison to fomites would be free from all power to impart the same poison which his body had already imparted to his clothing. He looked upon this idea as being a total absurdity, which no reasonable man should be called upon to belleve. ‘The Doctor then proceeded to divide his subject into heads, upon each of which he descanted at some length and with much erudition. He very ably supported the ground which had been assumed by Dr. Francis in almost all particulars, and concluded his address amid loud applause. Dr. Francis had had so much experience in medical af- fairs that he was not surprised at finding men laboring at times under powerful delusions: Dr. Griscom was onc of those governed bya strong delusion. With all his talent aud ability, and despite his well-written paper, he was certainly a deluded man. (Langhter.) God forbid that this institution should play second fiddle to the New York Quarantine Convention, They had better food in store than to take up the remnants of that feast which the Sanitary — Association 80 voraciously _gnawad. He had the greatest solicitude for the welfare and honor of their distinguished Academy, and he hoped that they would not—nay he begged them not—to | commit themselves by endorsing the absurd pos- better dispose of all such difficulties by their reference to \ 8 left of the session of the last Convention after ion of the House upon these canons. Am I right or am I wrong? Dr. Hows, the Secretary, said that there were not three days left, Dr. Hawks—The observation of the lay gentleman from. Pennsylvania (Judge Conynghiam), was one which he re- garded as of great weight. The distinction was a sound one between an act defectively performed and the total failure to perform it at all. He would remark, in answer to the statement made, that this case is without precedent. It been acted on in this house, and this house has de- ‘cided against the matter being law in virtue of its own the motion of his brother frem Penn- eylvania (Dr. Stevens) would prevail, and that the sub- Ject would be referred to the Committee on Canons, and that they would be instructed to report to-morrow. Dr. Campers said there was no necessity under the constitution that the House of Bishops should assign rea- sons for their non-coucurrence if the constitution has not been complied with. There is not a law of the church, there is no provision in our constitutional canons to. make Jaws by courtesy. If in this case there be any obligation to obey mandates of the constitution, and if this action i8 not regarded ag preventing the efficiency of the law, why would not the next canon d by this House, und returoed without reason, be really obligatory, and why should not every other cagon which this House passed, and to which the ‘House of Bishops objected, be returned here Without any reason and still be obeyed? His friend from New York (Dr. Hawks) says there are precedents in prinelpls, While principles are very good in their place, he (Dr. C.) maintained that now was the time, above all others, to take a stand upon this question. He thought if the whole question was now sent before the House of Bishops, that what they omitted before, from short. ness of timc, they would now attend to, He approved of the motion of the lay gentleman from Pennsylvania (Dr. Conyngham) to send the whole matter to the committee, and that they be instructed to report to-morrow. After a few remarks from Dr. P. Williams, of Va., and Dr. Vinton, of New York, Mr. Epwarp McCreapy, of South Carolina, said he merely rose to test the temper of the House in relation to this matter. So far as he could see, the result of this de- bate must be, undoubtedly,’ that which has been indicated, "namely, the ’ reference of this matter to the committee. Me did hot aim to make any question, but merely wished to know whether they could agree to’ all the propositions which he had heard. He would say that when language of this kind ‘was in the constitution, it was there, and its meaning was clear, and hers could not but see that it had a force tha: compels that Honse of Bishops, which sits with closed doors, at least to give us some reason for its differing with us. And he would say, if they abandonod this they would abandon everything they had; for if the reasons bo ‘not given for such action within the time specified, when will they ever be given? He differed from some of his friends here who spoken, and particularily with the gentleman who said that this was not mandatory. Was it dit or mandatory? What afd moh etree Now, and ig not, substihtive. Tt had been said that rae now upon the immediate reference of this question 10 the House of Bisheps may stand eufficient and guit the former action of this house. He would only say that this was a totally different body. Many members of this body were not present at the discussion of this question ona former occasion, and are therefore unfamiliar with tho reul merits of the case, But it was said they had not the time to send their reasons, if thoy sent no message. Ho ditfered with those who said that this was a defective execution of the power which we might overlook. He oe M.) might say that they did not act at all; they (the use) will say they had not time t» act. But’ they have acted, and given us the refusal wishout the reason, and ‘wo must say that we must submit to that refusal or de- clare the law a nullity, If the House of Bishops will rebel, and send us back here their refusal without reason, We are obliged to say that thore is no actlon and we gan- any reasons mmittee, which can examine the whole question care- | is true, as I understand, that there were not tion of the Sanitary Convention. Dr. Griscom was some- what inclined, in the latter part of his paper, to class him (Dr. F.) among men who were not in a sound state of mind. But Dr. Griscom was a member of a very straight and steady religious sect, and although he belonged to the Society of Friends, it was well known that sometimes ‘some of these gentlemen were found to have a quirk in their heads. (Great laughter.) They should not laugh, for such was the fact; and the Doctor went on to state a case in point, where the pious, learned and charitable Dr. Fothergill, of Edinburg, kad committed the eccontricity of running ia a nude state through the streets, crying out «woe to the city,” merely because of a mistaken idea, He denied the authority of Dr. Rush, who was quoted by Dr. Griscom, on such a question as this. He might be a good authority on the subject of hydrophobia, where he tells youthe more you bleed a man the more chance there is of saving his life; and those who could swallow this opinion would be ready to swallow some very broad theories after it. (Laughter.) For his part he had no confidence in such an authority; and the Academy should bear in mind that an {dea that was sound and true in 1859 would be go in 6,000, ant, therefore, they should mind how they attempted to propound new truths. If they gave their sanction to this resolution, they would bo- come open to the contempt of the judge onthe bench and the washerwoman in the kitchen. He concluded by hoping that the Academy would cautiously deal with the grave question before it. Professor Surr# said that after deep refiection ho had come to the conclusion that fomites do exist. He virtually took the same ground as Dr. Griscom, and said that, asin the case of typhus fever, the disease’ was spread abroad by foul exhalations in dirty, crowded and badly ventilated apartments; so was yellow fever propagated by the foul vapors arising from the bodies and lungs of persons con- fined in close and unyentilated places, as was the case on bourd of ships at sea, where diseases of this kind fre- quently broke out. Here were fomites in a most un- doubted sense. The Oriental plague was not a specific disease, having its primary cause in any condition of the human body, but was entirely subject to external causes and combinations, arising, it may be, in some instances, from the putrid marshes of Cairo or Alexandria. ‘The older writers did not think that fomites should be ascribed to specific poisons, but to anything that can convey infec. tion. He concluded by remarking that the earth very fre- quently generated disease, and that the winds had great effect in regulating the progress of a pestilence. The Doc. tor’s remarks were very learned. Dr. Morr, from experience, was convinced that some- times yellow fever was contagious. If it were not so, why ‘were medical men 8o often inclined to attend any kind of fever but yellow fever? There were very few medical men, indeed, who would not rather encounter any other patient than a yellow fever patient. He would not go into & learned disquisition on the various interpret of fomites. He knew it, like others, from reading and study, and there could be no mistake about its etymology. But if fomites alone were the conductors of infection, what ‘was to be said of the body which was the source and resi- dence of the poison? The body of the yellow fever pa- tient conveys the infection to his clothing, and then can it be said that there is no infection in the body? Doctor briefly related his experience in Eastern countries where the plague in al) its terror prevailed, and the opinions he expressed were founded upon the results of aon peace ay tothe ak ever of endorsing the resolution of the Sanitary Convention. He very sharply reviewed the Vohra wed Toudly chal- lenged them to maintain their ground. existence of fomites in yellow fever he ignored. Yellow fever never was and never has been juced by fomites. Ho defied any one to show ‘was ever any case whero fomites ‘this disease. Once get the people in- deetrinated the idea that fomites could transmit yel- low fover and there would be no safe condition of society. A panie might at any moment break out on the news’ that a veasol had arrived having fomites on board. Dur- ing the Jast season vessels arrived overy day loaded with fomites, in the shape of cotton, wool, clothing: porous sul ; and yet no contagion reaulte:! (ro: their constant exposure.
