Next in the list of speakers was Governor Walker, of atin ih snes ihe most ee ( ypear- ‘ance was the signal o! 1e8} pro- longed cheering. He sai ait donded him great jeasure to once more address the people Of his ative State. He could no more forget that he was Dorn and reared upon the soil of the Empire State than he could forget the mother who bore him or the tender affection which watched over and idea his earlier years. And while the illus- fi us Old Dominion, where his maturer years been spent, is the worthy possessor of his warmest affection and __ loftiest aspirations, nevertheless his pride and love for his Dative State were warmed {nto new life when- ever he contemplated her greatness and glory, ever increasing and advancing, rising higher an er and expanding more and more. it Was a source of pride and profound gratifica- tion that the State of his birth and the State of his adoption are standing side by side and shoulder to shoulder in the great stru; gle in which they are now e d—a sti je which has for its object the restoration of real peace, pure government and fraternal relations to the Whole country. He felt well assured that, in proportion to po) tion, these two States will roll up larger majorities for the liberal ticket than any other Statea in the Union. The aeowe, of Virginia—that is, the real, sub stantial people— Pay the taxes have an interest in the and prosperity of the State, were never more united, harmonious and determined in any cause than they now are in the support of Greeley and Brown. this remarkable unanimity of sentiment cannot be ascribed to the efforts of our leading men. It is rather a spontaneous welling soldiers who did it. ‘up from the great mass of the people. And what is true of Virginia is substanti true of the entire South. In fact, it has been asserted that Mr. Greeley was indebted for his nomination and will be indebted for his election in @ large measure to the people of the South. He believed the assertion to be substantially true. Do you ask the causes and the significance of this unanimity of sentiment ‘at the South for Mr. Greeley? Do you wonder at the strange phenomenon of a whole people u with almost unanimous ‘voice, pr ming, “We will have none other but this man to rule over us, albeit he was our ancient political foe #’ It may, indeed, seem strange to the uninformed; but, correctly under- stood and appreciated, instead of pang suspected or spurned by the people of the North, it would be hailed with Joy and welcomed with the hearticst enthusiasm. ‘And this fact is ag well known as tt | Ntw YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET.

Our merchant ma- Hine had been Swept from ocean and our ox- ort trade almost annihilated. The unstable char: Reler of our currency and the feckless Spirit of speculation incident thereto unsettled values and begot confusion and uncertainty in all branches of business. While ti chaotic condition of affairs prevailed throughout the North at the close of the war, What was the condition of the surrendered South? What was the result to the people of that ortion of the country within whose borders the Sour years’ terrible contest had been almost wholly waged? Almost universal bankraptcy. Their whole soolal system had been shattered and their labor stem utterly destroyed. The freedom of the slaves had enslaved their masters. During tne four years of haag thee 3 effort and agony thelr country was first isolated from the outer world and then Tayaged and destroyed by the incursions o/ a vic- torious foe. Their labor system was first disorgan- ized and then Seren altogether; their planta- tions fell out of cultivation; their railroads were destroyed, their banks ruined, towns destroyed: their currency and bonds and stocks, in which their all was invest rendered worthiess; and to- gether with all this was engulfed in this same common ruin their investments in mines, mills and all other industrial and commercial establishments, Such univel ruin, perhaps never before pre- vailed in any country. In fy vat metropolis, drawing your sustenance and wealth from unnum- bered sources; teaching out your arms not only to py but to other continents, gnd fat er ig in the unnumbered products of the world for your espziness and prosperity, little appreciate the fearful exhaustion, the terrible ‘woe and suffering of the South at the close of the war. With these conditions of utter exhaustion, suffering and want prevailing at the South, and the disorganization of industrial, commercial and finan- cial affairs at the North, what was the supreme need of the hour? To what should those controllin, the government have addressed themselves with earnest, honest and patriotic devotion? Why, to the a complete and permanent pacification of the country and the adjustment of the burdens of taxation 80 as to meet the absolute necessities of the government, and at the same time permit and even encoufage the restoration of our commercial marine and lost commerce, our crippled industries and disordered currency, as well as the resuscita- tion and recuperation of the desolated and impove- rished South.

They even have the hardi- hood to assert that by the election of Mr. Greeley the South hopes and expects to achieve what it failed to accomplish by the war. But itis mere bold assertion, without a scintilla of proof to sus- tatn it. Seven years ago, when the Southern cross went down upon the plains of Appomattox, the ol cause of the struggle went down and was entombed with it, The advoca‘es and adherents of the doctrine of secession appealed to the sword for its final arbitrament, and, though the decision | went against them, no verdict was ever rendered which met with more universal acquiescence.

Cox, candidate at large for Congress, who said :—~ SPEECH OF MR. 3S. 3, COX, GENTLEMEN—Already in this campaign I have discussed matters of a social and political nature, growing out of the new alliance between honest men of both parties.

Has not General Grant favored the same thing in his message? Has he not de- liberately recommended it? True, Congress paid little attention to the message. While Lam not about toembarrass this campaign by raising the issue, I wonder why it ought not to be discussed. It is in the Philadelphia and Cincinnati platforms.

It is such awrong which, if it were thoroughly understood, would not only drive him and his whole ring from ower, but would brand him asa public scourge. ut let me come to figures and facta, FIGURES AND FACTS. Mr. Boutweil has squeezed out of the people, from March, 1869, to September, 1872, in a period of three and a half years, in taxes, in round numbers, as far as tt is possible to calculate them fully, $1,400,000,000. From this there was graciously paid $348,141,239 46 off on the debt, leaving a trifle of $1,050,000,000 for governing us three and’a halr years! Well, there is no great credit due to any Secretary for paying off with the people’s mouey from $1,400,000,000, $348,000,000, is there? In fact, ‘0 the same is so gigantic—nearly a billion and a haif is such am unheard of sum—that there is no credit | even due for being honest in its payment.

Mendoza, and the Union Artisano, Marsha! Louis Xiqura—tho two under the feadership of Grand Marshal A. Reyes—appeared before the platform and the leaders took their positions thereon. Dr. Houard, of Spanish prison notoricty, who had becn announced to speak, fatied to appear, and it waa intimated that fear of prejudioing his case with the administration was the cause. ‘The meeting was called to order by M. V. Mogzs, who, in tho absence of the appointed chairman, 3. L. M. Barlow, nominated F. H. Spinola for that position. In his opening remarks that gentleman eaid:—We have come to- gether to ratify the nominations of Greeley gud Brown @nd the candidates nominated at Syracuse, He pnid a high compliment to Mr. Greeley as the lifelong friend of the human race and rebuked the military despotisin at Washington, which the people were arising in their might to overthrow. He alluded to the course of the ad- ministration on tho Cuban question and stated that for three long years Grant had not only re- fused to assist a people straggling for freedom, aa we struggled for it in 1776, bat bad thrown every conceivable obstacle in their way. He said Grant's loye for freedom was only manifested in selling offices for the enrichment of himself and family; thatthe people now demanded a change, and had arisen in their might to break up the Military camps at Washington and the carruptions extending throughout the country, more glaring than were ever known in this city. Mr. Wolf then read a Ust of the Vice Presidents, which was adopted, and Colonel E. B. Lansing took the stand. He sald:—My countrymen of ali creeds, fongnes. and races, we meet under the same flag, equals before the law. people have arisen here in their majesty for the enuorsement of those sublime utterances made hy the great parliament at Cincinnati—utterances ap- proved and adopted by that greater parliament rapa cocaine, the arent lemocratic party which as- sembled at Baltimore. As a liberal repub- lican he joimed with the democrats under the broad mantle of those sentiments enunciated in the Cincinnati platform. This is no longer a government of the people, he said, but of one man, Grant, supported Dr ne BIXt) thousand office-holders who placed him in nomi- nation and whom the people will spow out of their jouths fi Hove per Bi le rei forred to Jewell’s Getence ol rant In the Rawlins thatter, he having stated that Grant arrived one hour be- fore Rawlins’ death, when Gonking hea stated in @ speech in Now ‘or’ 0 arrived one honr after. The lant Kilpatrick spoke the truth, Rawlins died with “Grant! Grant! Iam dying!” on his lips. He stated that he the speaker) nad been informed by Erastus D. ‘ebster, candidate for Congress in the Second dis- trict, and an ardent friend of Thomas Murphy, in response to the question, “What are Murphy's chances for the Collectorship?”? “Grant isa greedy cuss, and Murphy has bonght him a first class house in Long Branch and furnished it in first class manner, and — 80 wag sure of the appointment.’ He referred to the Maine campalg and the flooding that State with military oiliclals and oftice-holders to influence the election, He told the story of a one-armei| sol- dier bein; ierege out of the Corie House jor sup) ain reeley, and closed with a panegyric on the liberal nominees.

Are you going to vote the democratic ticket? An affirmative answer to any one of these questions disfranchised him. The gratification of the people at the disenthralment by the liberals under Gratz Brown was eloquently depicted. He referred to the Louisville Convention as a part of the Grant programme, and ra we will carry Missouri, Arkansas, ‘exas, Kentucky, North Carolina, the two Vir- | eee Maryland, California, Oregon, New York and ennsylvania, which will elect. He’ portrayed the condition of the South, and showed market under the preseut misrule. General H. A, Bannus followed as the represen- tative of the soldier element. He stated that he had come to manhood under the political instruc- tion of Horace Greeley; that his first vote was cast for Fremont, the second for Lincoln, under whom, when the war-cry of “on to Richmond” was sounded, he had donc the State some service. He deprecated the feeling which had grown out of | this war and claimed that Grant had failed to carry out the spirt of his own motto, ‘Let us have peace.’ He gave the carpet-baggers a scathing denvncia- tion, Biating the hi squandered 168,000,000 of the cople's m joy.

He then stated it was necessary for him to go elsewhere, and concluded by exhorting to effort which would restore our pristine liberty and do away with corruption. General Barnum in continuing his remarks paid an eloquent tribute to the Gubernatorial candi- 38 | | Legislature and Congress. His popularity during | | gress in a republican district.

The prominent mem- | i i | | | | among whom were the President, Mr. Glaubensklee, | with a large number of vice presidents and secre- taries, Professor THEODORE G. GLAUBENSKLBE made the introductory address in his native tongue, which embodied the following remarks :— | | | 8 | FELLOW CITIZENS AND COUNTRYMEN FROM THE | Sate | LAND OF THE RHINE—It Is because I perceive and advise the necessity of true reform and just legis- lation that I stand before you to-night. Reform is needed in all departments of our gov- ernment, civic and municipal, and for this reason, which would alone be I pronounce it a necessarg course of action to ad- | Yocate the election of Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown, ‘The German vote is powerful whatever side it may be cast. That it will be cast in the | cause of honesty and sincerity is my ardent wish. | I would not have you be led away by the misrepre- sentations of our German newspapers, which so | Paliciously and unjustly repudiate the action of the | Syracuse and Baltimore Conventions—invective which we all look upon unwise and impolitic. ‘Lhe honesty and frankness of Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown cannot be ridiculed and rendered un- worthy in our eyes and ] am sure in the cyes of the whole German’ people to fill the high oMices to which we hope to elect them. After exhorting 'm all to vote for the liberal candidates he intro- duced the second speaker, Berkman. | The Doctor was a German Protestant preacher | some years ago, and is now on ti eve of feventy. He denounced the the!t and deception with which Grant's administra- tion was charged and pronounced him the greate: evil the country could sustain, There were three | candidates for the Presidency—two living and one | dead—and ‘‘I am sure,’’ he said, “that of the two survivors Horace Greeley will be elected, else the | ist the negli- nee and indifference of the noble people of the hine.”” (The Doctor was cheered vociferously.) | ‘The third speaker introduced was Morris ELLIN- GER, Who referred principally to the State election, denounced in an enthusiastic manner all recent corruptions and declared the great mass meeting of the acct | to be rather like a peace jubilee be- ing factions than one of hostility to any party. , JULIUS Korn, the fourth speaker, referred briefly to reform as the great object of their exer- tions and the necessity of electing candidates like | Greeley and Brown a@ the best expediency under the circumstances, The speech of Mr. William Granerd, of Hudson | City, N.

It was come timo after eight o'clock before an audience assembied at this stand, and then not until a band was sent for to attract them. Mr. George A. Barney, Chairman of the stand, then ordered the secretary to read fhe names of the officers and the resolutions of the meeting, Tho Chairman then introduced Mr, R. 8, Theorov, of South Carolina, who addressed the meeting. He said that though he was a native of tae South he had always upheld the constitution of the Unite States and deeply deplored the cause that led to the late bloody sti le. He loved this city, for it remained fie: mes, and Seward's little bell could not make pilsoners of her citizens, tn Greeley and Brown he believed they had the best men they could find for the offices they were struggling to gain, representative men in every respect, and he hoped they would be elected, for he ald not believe in pandering to a militar, al such as Grant had proved himself tobe. Grant ha not obeyed Congress as he agreed to do when elected, but had amused himself with filling tho air with tobacco smoke, After some fur- ther remarks the speaker was followed by Colonel B. » Will of New York. The ‘olonel requested — the to Greeley mon be of good cheer, for he ‘waa certain that the next election would culminate in the elec- tion of Greeieyand Brown. He thought the peoplo were circumvented yd fraud and the government Was not What it ought to be, Everybody knew that fn ignorant race were taught by Graat’s minions to hate their late masters, and every fraudulent means was being used to keep Grant and his re- lations in ofice for four years longer ; but every one know Urant tobe rolter and had determined to replace him soon by a man whom everybody knew to be an honest and mpright man. The next speaker introduced was Mr. J. T. Wilitams, of Chappaqua, a near neighbor of Mr. Greeley. Mr. Willlams had rallied for Mr. Lincoln, and now he intended to bins | for Mr. Greeley. He did not like Grant, and could not relish his policy, Mr. Grant's peace was a military one, kept by armed men, and it was not the peace he liked, ‘The South had reached across the bloody chasm their hands, acknowledged the fault, and asked fora perpetual peace, but not one kept up Dy Arama: This was the kind of peace he wanted. Grant’s friends sald he intended to reform if he was elected again, but he did. not believe it, and so he earnes' Boned that the freemen of this great country would elect Greeley and Brown. Mr. Wiliis was followed by Mr. H. Snyder, of Jersey City, a gentleman sent to stand No, 4 by Mr. Algernon 8. Sullivan. His speech was short, but was an earnest appeal to Greeley’s friends to assist him all they could. Mr. JF Rogers then addressed the‘meeting, and was tollowed by several other gentlemen, who in a few words explained the situation and solicited aid for the liberal republican candidate. The crowd around this stand was small, owing, no doubt, to the act that it was situated on the uorthwest cor- ner of Union square, a distance too fnr from the main stand, and another great inconvenience was the interruption of the speakers by the procession, as they passed within a fow fect of them, STAND NO. 5. Se ee Speeches by Messrs. Kernan, Tilden, Jones, Haswell, Crozicr and Others, Stand No.5 was located in the lower balcony of Tammany Hall. The platform was thronged directly the musicians vacated it, and an enormous concourse of persons were assembled in the street below. . en ee My. CHARLES M. HASWELL, in & brief speech, id- troduced the frat speaker, Mr. William D. Max- | well, of New Jersey. This commenced in an anec- | dotal style, and then gradually gave vent to a tirade of abuse against General Grant and subse- quently sang a pan of praise in favor of Horace Greeley, who was the manof the people's choice, and who had come to rescue the country from the ignominy and shame that had fallen upon it under the present maladministration. Mr, HyLanD B. Crozier, upon being introduced, said that four years ago he had stumped the States for Grant; this year he was going to do the same for Greeley. His text was national reconciltation and the reconstruction of the North, so that our Southern brethren might be freely forgiven for their errors in the past decade. ‘lo err was human, to forgive divine,” and the old bond of fellowship between the Northern and Southern States ought to be resealed with the wax of frater- nal love. Roscoe Conkling had compared Grant to Washington; but there was no similitude between the great Father of his country and the present incumbent of the White House. At ail events, Washington was elected President, while Grant is | sure to be defeated next November. Isaac HUNTER, @ colored man, made a rather clever speech, in which he asserted that if his down-trodden race failed to cast their votes for “Honest Horace,” they would neutralize the nivener nore Me the cones cton and Sour error fata e country, State and the: by ‘it seve 9 Takats ir. ‘} NDER SULLIVAN said he had fought pacer the republican flag for the black man; now e Was taking up arms to protect the poor ‘white man, our brethren in the South, our workingmen of the North, who were being overwhelmed by the arrogant audacity and gutocratic avarice of General Grant. Mr, WILLIAM W, NILES said we were about to plant the blood-red soil of the South with flowers of peace, and build temples of love, instead of tramp- ing down with furious armies the fair flelds of the Sunny South. Horace Greeley was an upright, honest citizen, and it behoved all good men and true to vote for him and ignore the present tanner of Galena. General Jonns, of Binghamton, said he had | come from the country to personally ascertain if there was any truth tn the statement that Grecley could not get a vote m York, He could see by the enthusiasm dis- played that the Philosopher of Chappaqua held a igh Place in the hearts of of New York wy and he knew that in the country every respectable man was his partisan. ‘The Grantites talked about the reduction of the | national debt. It had not been decreased by any | act of self-denial on the part of the administration, | but by the sweat distilled from the brow of the working man by the taxes imposed upon legacies leit to widows and orphans. Assistant District Attorney Sullivan then intro- duced Mr, Francis Kernan, whom he announced | | New | | was | 88 next Governor of this State. He was the recipi- | | ent of vociferous cheers, and only spoke for a few | moments, as his words were utterly drowned by | continuous rounds of applause. Samuel J. Tilden labored under somewhat the | Same disadvantages as the previous orator, but his speech was fercible and to the point. He advo- cated Greeley because the aw needed re- form in the ranks of its leaders. Mesers. Hewitt, Coates and other gentlemen also addressed the multitude, with marked effect. Upon the stand were @ number of the most prominent | Poltticians in the city, and the utmost confidence in success of the democratic republican candi- for the Presidency seemed to prevail. THE FINALE. After ten o'clock the crowds began to look leas sufficient, | dense, and great numbers of people departed for | their homes. The diminished attendance did not, however, in any way lessen the enthusiasm of those who remained, and the speakers were more warmly applauded as the night rolled on. Irving Hall was emptied first, the interest in the procecd- seeming to have greatly abated when Mr, “yd oe! had ceased speaking. Tammany Hali | maintained a crowded appearance until the last | speaker had concluded, it seeming to be the great | roe ab ke ne during the evening. The numerous | it processions, as fast as they arrived on | the ground, filed past the stands on Union | square and departed for their _asaembi; rooms with «® large attendance of smail boys who brought up the rear, The supply of fire- | works became exhausted about eleven o'clock, and this further diminished the attendance, and by half-past eleven but @ very small proportion of tne | immense audience of the early Fan of the evening remained. By twelve o'clock the square was com- pletely deserted, and were it not for the he arene | of the stands no vestige was leit of one of the great- | est gatherings ever held in the city or State.

Hor SPRINGS, Ark., Sept. 2, 1672. Ov Saturday, August 31, 1872, an alleged attorept was made to assassinate Dr. G, W, Law: Rest- dent Phystoian at Hot Springs, by Dr. M.K. Starke, of Little Rook. The facts are aald to be as follows :— On Thursday tast Dr. Almon Brooks, of fe place, was sent for in great haste from Little Rock toatten@ to his friend, Dr. Starke, who was aaid to be dying. There was a great noise in the village, and : q | DOdy was duly informed of the fact that Dr. Beo had been summoned sixty miles to Little Rock to attend to the chief physician at that place. Away Brooks sped in a hack tg the aid of his friend, only to return with him early Saturday morning, he net being, as it appeara, dying, but just recovering from the effecta of a “good time.” On arriving at the Springs Brooks took Starke tothe Hot Springs Hotel, where he spent the morning, and towards noon Dr. Brooks had him in consultation on @ case. Several times at breakfast and elsewhere Dr. Starke, it 1a said, made threats against the life of Dr. Lawrence, one of them te the proprietor of the hotel. Dr. Lawrence had no intimation of his alleged intentions unt near one o'clock. Between twelve and one, four frionds of Dr, Lawrence were in his private ofice, and it being near dinnor tine they were preparing to leave when Dr. Starke entered the private oflloe, through the anteroom, without knocking, and ad- vanced into the middle of the room. Dr. Lawrence's friends thinking that it was a pationt bade the Doctor good morning and left the ofice. Dr. Starke, on arriving opposite Dr. Lawrence, satd, ‘€s Dr. Lawrence in?” TheDoctor answered “I am he. Starke then sald “1 am Dr, Starke, of Little Rock.” The Doctor said “If you are Dr. Starke, of Little Rock, your mission here cannot be a friendly one te me, after the unprofessional conduct and abuse yom have heaped on me.’ They were then standing eo close to each other that Starke SEIZED THE DOCTOR BY HIS BEARD and made a lunge with a weapon he had concealed in his hand at the Doctor's carotid artery and jugu- lar vein, perhaps with the intention of severing it and killing the Doctor in that way. Dr. Lawrence, on seeing the knife, tnstinctively threw up his arm and crouched nis neck to save his throat. He sue- ceeded in doing that and received: stabs on bie wrist and one on the angle of his jaw, cutting the facial artery, the molar teeth ET Splat | the ities ot the knife towards the tongue, which, if it had been reached, would have killed him, as the ual arteries would have been severed. The Doo- or then dealt his assailant a well-directed biow under the chin, and being an extremely powerfut man Starke was knocked five feet and into the cor- ner. Feeling that his life was at stake Dr. Lay > renge pursucd his advantor. en, bivaiiant Into “the” front Ponice or Ante: font, Afict having recetved an _additlo wound in his forehead. All this while Starke wi 80 quick with his stabs that Dr Lawrence was uo- able to reach his weapons. They continued the Struggle to the front entrance, Dr. Lawrence using his arms against Starke’s knife. During all the struggle not a word was uttered. This whole scene only occupied a minute or so. The noise of the scuile was heard by the ypenee mea who had just left the Doctor's one ie were standing near 01 jor : wy ea of the entrances of Spr jotel nich Dr. Lawrence's on S farts tu Hoan . of Pine Blut, observing the fight aid goog Dr- Lawrence covered with blood, said to Mr. Turner, Wo was one of the party, “My God! Joe, come here, THAT MAN IS MURDERING THE DOCTOR,” He being in delicate health could render no ae sistance. Mr. Turner approached and struck Starke with a cane on the head, knocking him for- ward in the opposite direction from that in which the Doctor was driving him. After striking him once one of the gentlemen said, “Don’t strike him again.” He was seized and dragged off from the Doctor, at whom he ferociously continued staboing. Dr. Lawrence immediately tiumbed the artery to compress it upon the angle of the jaw, and requested that his former partner, Dr. 0, A. Hobson, be sent for. Dr. B. F, Dickenson, of Memphis, immediately sent for Drs. 0. A. Hobson and P, H. Elisworth ta attend to Dr. Lawrence's wounds, which were bleeding profusely. Mr. Vance, Sheritr of Hemp- stead county, Arkansas, a visitor at the Springs, next came on the scene. Dr. Lawrence said to him, “I want that man put under arrest I want to respect the laws. If he is not cared for Must protect myself. | would regret the necessity.” Mr. Vance [amr made Starke his prisoner, and a deputy sheriff was summoned, who took charge of him. His first expression was, “I am not responsible for this.” He was taken at once to his br, Brooks had previously tostentued Beare | Dr. Brooks had previou: Perens tle O.

Cvlonel J Whaton, of the New Orleans Bar, volunteered attorney for his friend Dr. Lawrence (they having been both residents of Baltimore before the war), and attended to the prosecution. The arrest was made for AN ASSAULT WITH ATTEMPT TO MURDER, and bail demanded in the sui of $5,000. This after- noon Starke was balled by his friend Dr, Brooks, and now is stopping at the Hale House. Here com- Ments are unnecessary. A great deal of fecling has been excited by this attempt at murder, and a great deal of calmness was necessary to prevent the numerous friends of Dr. Lawrence from met- ing summary justice to bis assailant. Some pe go as far as to allege that other parties are impll- cated in the affair who were unwilling to assume responsibility of getting rid of their professional opponent, but who had arranged it and produced @ willing actor, ‘The facts giving rise to the enmity ich culminated in this dastardly act are related by the friends of Dr. Lawrence to be as follows:—Dr. G. W. Lawrence, Rest- dent Physician at Hot Springs for thirteen years, and Drs, 0. A, Hobson and P, H. Ellsworth, on the application of Dr. Almon Brooks, of this piace for | admission into the Pulaski County Medical Asso- ciation, made SHARDS against him for conduct un- becoming in a phys clan and agentieman. On thy strength of these charges Dr. Brooks was re- jected June 1, 1872. The charges were as follows :— Tampering with the patients of other physiclal | using unknown tongues in his prescriptions an ; having paid agents at the various cities South and | West, at hotels, rallway stations and on conyey- ances. After the regular meeting of the ‘Assocle. tion _A SNAP CALI MEETING ‘wag held by friends of Dr. Brooks, and though um able to admit him to their society as a member, they tried to justify him by publishing a seriqs | of resolutions, which resolutions are now Brooks’ | circular for professional advantages. The lar meeting taking place on Saturday, June 1, and the call meeting on Monday, Starke being a member | of this association and friend of Brooks, a great | deal of ill-feeling was gencrated, which increased day by day, as the association saw no way of ad- mitting him to membership, a third of the mem- | bers having voted Inst his admission. Dr. | Starke’s enmity, it is alleged, was all on account of his friend Brooks, and, being assiduously fanned, soon blazed into this outrage. Dr. Law- rence, it {8 said, eae. marked bearance towards Dr, Brooks in refusing to have Dr. Brooks put under arrest forhis supposed pela of the intentions of Starke, as—say the friends of Dr. Lawrence—it seems pena robable that Starke should not have mentioned his inten- tion eu | a stage drive of sixty miles, if he boasted of it several times in the hotel during the morning. Starke sent an apology to Dr. Lawrence the morning after the assault. Dr. Lawrence re- fused to receive it, saying that a man could not attempt his life one day and apologise the next. The second act of this drama will ie at the Court House at Rockport, the county seat of this county. At the last accounts Dr. Lawrence's wounds wei 3 rapidly healing. More anon.
