TUE DOCTORS. glUNESD DAT's BERSION OF THE LOUIS- I IANA STATE ISPDICAL SOCIETY. F The meeting was called to order at noon by S Vie President Bemiess, in the chair. The minutes of the two meetings preceding were read and approved. A motion by Dr. M. Sohuppert, duly see ended, that 500 copies of Dr. Challle's ad dress be printed for distribution by the gov erning committee, was carried. Dr. Chaille rose to a personal explanation to the effect thathis address had been incor rectly reported in several essential points, which he particularized by the morning Times and P'iayune. He desired to correct the er roneous rendering of his remarks, and had been promised by the representatives of these two journals, although he felt assured in ad vance that such would be the case, that the necessary corrections would be made. If, said he, an accurate report was desired, the DnMOCRAT had it. Dr. H. Richardson proposed the following named gentlemen for election to membership: Drs. R. Sauvage, E. Drelfus, W. E. SBhuppert. These gentlemen were duly elected. Dr. Chaille proposed Dr. Eustis, of Mobile, for election as a member by invitation. Dr. lustis was declared elected. Dr. Challie reminded the society that members by invi tation enjoy the rights of other members ex sept those of voting and being elected to eoie. Dr. Fox moved that the thanks of the asso esoation be tendered to Drs. Smythe, Schmidt and Dawson for their courtesy towards mem bers this morning, and that the secretary was to notify these gentlemen to that effect. Carried. Dr. Chaille stated that he had several let trs from the country requesting that an attempt be made to bring the influence of the sedical profession to bear upon the approach Ing State convention. He is chairman of a committee on State medicine, appointed by the Orleans Parish Medical Society, and he has been assisted by Drs. Bickham, Copes, Datdson, Hericlk, Pratt and Henry in his The Legislature may pass laws respecting medical qualifications and practice, and sec tion 86 concerns boards of health and vital statistics. Section 42 relates to asylums. In Louisiana the constitution, section 9, re lates to the education of idiots and feeble minded children. Section 11 requires that charitable institutions shall be made as self supporting as possible. Dr. Chaille then read the report of the com mittee of the Orleans Parish Medical Asso elation, of which committee he is chairman. The report was prepared by lawyers of this ity under the supervision of two former members of the State Supreme Court. The report proposes introducing into the State constitution an article entitled "State Medi sine." The opinions of a number of eminent jurists of this city were also read. Dr. Chaille also called attention to the fact that under the present State constitution physicians' claims are privileged only in the event of the death of a patient, but even then such claims to te valid must be recorded. In order to remedy this it was proposed to have inserted, if possible, in the expected constitu tion of 1879 exempting physicians' claims from the obligation of being recorded. Dr. Blickham, a member of I)r. Challle's committee, heartily seconded the remarks just made by that gentleman, and thought this was a most opportune moment, owing to the coming assembly of the State conven tion. Dr. Blckman considers it the imperative duty of the State government to legislate in favor of hygiene and the other points pro posed in connection with State medicine. The election of officers being now in order a resolution was moved, seconded and adopted, suspending the rules, in order to allow the election to take place at once, ex eept in cases where objections to such pro seedings might be raised. On motion of Dr.Chaille, Dr. J. W. Dupree was nominated president. On motion of Dr. Snell, Dr. Samuel Logan was also nominated for president. Dr. Logan having declined in favor of Dr. Dupree on motion of Dr. Salomon, seconded by Dr. M. Schuppert, Dr. Dupree was unani imously elected. Vice presidents were elected, one for each of the six congressional districts, as follows: First Congressional District-Dr. G. Hays nominated Dr. Wilkenson. Second Congressional District--Dr. W. Wat kine nominated Dr. J. P. Davidson. Third Congressional District--Dr. Gourrier nomipated Dr. P. Postell.. Fourth Congressional District-Dr. Challise ominated Dr. A. Lyons. Fifth Congressional District Dr. J. David son nominated Dr. Chew, of Tenses. Sixth Congressional District- L)r. P. Postell nominated Dr. Langworthy. Recording Secretary-Dr. Logan nominated Dr. Layton. The following were also elected: Corresponding Secretary -Dr. Challe nomi mated S. Herricli. Treasurer and Librarlan--Dr. Chatlle nom hiated George Pratt. It was then moved that the Rev. H. M. Thompson, D. D., be elected orator. On a statement made by Dr. Challe that I he orator must be either an honorary member of this society or a member by invitation, Rev. H. M. Thompson was proposed by Dr. Richard son as an honorary member, and he was then amnanimously elected as honoraiy member and orator of the next meeting, to take place on the last Wednesday of March. 1880o. The following resolution was then passed: tResolved, That the president be authorized to appoint a committee of one to confer with the different medical societies of the cities of Texas, Alabama and Georgia in reference to forming a Southern medical association. The chair appointed Dr. Richardson. Before the reading of the resolution the members listened to the learned disquisition of Dr. Fox, of Plaqulmine, after which the meeting adjourned. The Sons of Lou l a will give a grand fes tival at the Fair ds next Bunday. THE LOA EXPONITION. As has been previously announced, the ladies of the Lee Monumental Association bave decided not to give an entertainment this year for the benefit of the Lee monumen tal fund. However, as preparation had been made for the grand loan exposition, it will take place on the twenty-first and twenty second instant, at St. Patrick's Hall. The cause for which the entertainment is given is as sacred and perhaps more prac ticably charitable, the proceeds to be devoted to the relief of the Home of the Aged and In Arm. Each evening a splendid tableau will be presented, tobe followed by the much antici pated fan drill which will be executed by a lovely troop oF young ladies. The loan exhi bition has aiready rtoeived a large number of artisticcontributions, among which the pub li must not forget that the great painting of the battle of New Orleans by Delonler will be exhibited.

Ants to have the avenues on both sides of . laal street well sprinkled during race week, from Rampart street to Broad and thence to the Fair Grounds. For the first day's sport the entrance to the fields will be free, a fact that will doubtless 4 crowd the feld, as it ought to. That every body will be there is an assured fact, and that they will enjoy themselves hugely we know. Off for the track--and, too, early. A DEPAULTER. Lonls Levy winalen His s mployers and I Comes to GUref. Bobby Green, who scores Al in the line of defaulters, nipped $82,000 and skipped, and Louis Levy tried the same game on a smaller scale while in the employ of Keiffer Brothers, and tried to skip, but didn't. Louis, both in the way of getting more i wealth and skipping, might have done better, but they did not give him time. Louis was what you might call one of the bloods. He belonged to all the clubs, both dramatic and I social, and cut quite a dash among the ladies. He was friendly with everybody, except with the treasurers of the different clubs, and this was attributed to the fact that he would take tickets and failed to pay for same. The re sult was that Louis Levy was generally un ceremoniously kicked out of the different or ganizations. Now Louis had been in the employ of Keif fer Brothers for years, and he was the last person they would suspect of doing anything wrong. But, nevertheless, he did do wrong, and the firm is now the loser to quite a neat little sum. They, however did not wish to say anything about it, as ouis' father had offered to square the matter up. The chief has however, taki the matter in hand, and further dev.Iopments are ex pected to-day. Suffice it say that Louis now languishes in dur vile. A wonderful di fila fflre works will be the grand feature of tlv 4stival next Sunday at the Fair Grounds. THE PREMIUM BonD PURCUASE. The money brokers are anilous to discover the entire truth about the reported purchase of premium bonds by the city. The only in formation that can be given them on the sub ject is that by some means a large amount of that class of city securities has been bought on the market. The bonds had for some time been down to between 24 and 25 cents. In this condition of affairs it was deemed mani festly the duty of the representatives of the city to take advantage, if they could, of the low prices to aid in getting the city out of its troubles. This, it is alleged, has been done, that the city has been for a long time a foot ball for speculators, and that he or they who deprive Carondelet street of their plaything deserves credit instead of reproach. This will probably not be the last time that the same advantage will be taken by the friends of the city. Bids for pre lium bonds will be opened to-day at the City Hall, regulaly and according to the provisions of lavg,' The event of the se n is the rlng meeting of the Louisiana Jocke Club, d everybody is on the tiptoe of exc tio for the coming fray.

We are pleased to learn from an article in the Boston Herald, of the sixth instant, that at the recent annual competition for pilzes in speaking at the Adams Academy, in the town of Quincy, Mass., a young man from our city carried off the highest honor. On that occa sion the Adams gold medal, for the best de claimer, was awarded, by a committee of which President Elliot, of Harvard College, was chairman, to William Cartwrlght Gor don, of New Orleans. Young Gordon Is a son of our friend Winm. Alex. Gordon and the -randson of those old-time citizens, the late Alex. Gordon and Dr. Cartwrlght. He is a very bright, intelligent youth, and gives promise of winning further distinction. ACADEM I OF MUSIC. The musical nonsense of "Oxygen" drew a very good house at the Academy last even ing, notwithstanding that it was Good Friday. The double bill (for the entertainment included the most popu&r musical numbers from "H. M.S. Pinafore") was well rendered throughout. To-day "H. M. 8. Pluafore" and "Ronihson Crusoe" will be presented at the matinee. With a view to accommodating visitors to the theatre who might wish to attend the races, the performance will close at 2:15 o'clock. On Sunday Gus Williams, the populaR Ger man character delineator, will be added to Colville's company, and will appear in the "New Cinderella," with a cast embracing every member of the company.

The solemn feast of Good Friday is not only hallowed by the Christian Church I throughout the world as commemorative of the Lord's death, but is also observed by the suspension of business and commercial trans actions. That day Is the anniversary of the death by crucifixion of one whom the Chris tian world calls the Son of God, who became man, toiled, suffered and died for the redemp tion of sinners. HE FOUNDED A OHURCH upon ant everlasting foundation, a rock, against which "The gates of hell shall never prevail." The life, virtues, patience, self-sacrifice and death of Jesus Christ have been faithfully narrated in the Holy Book, and also eulogized in the works of many and many a sacred writer for nearly twenty centuries. Even the profane writers of pagan times spoke of Christ with respect and called him "a sublime philosopher." The principles of the Christian Church es tablished by him, propagated by a handful OF OBSCURE AND IGNORANT MEN, have withstood for 2000 years the attacks of paganism, atheism and immorality, and stand now flPmer than ever, and will so re main until the end of the world. But let us return to the subject spoken of above-the feast of Good Friday. The Church, in establishing its observance, wishes us to meditate upon the sufferings and death of our Saviour. St. Augustin says that'Christ suffered and died, not by a necessity deserving the great est sympathy, but simply by His own will, by the exercise of His merciful power. He died to save mankind, and it was His wish to die not by the violence of men, for if He had willed it He never would have suffered. THE IDEAS EXPRESSED ABOVE no doubt were entertained by the immense I concourse of the faithful who made it a pious duty to visit the dillerent churches of the city in order to pay a tribute of respect and sympathy to the image of the crucified Saviour exposed in the main aisle and In front of the high altar. The churches were in mourning yesterday; the altars hung with funeral draperies, the darkened windows and the pale, twinkling lustre of the wax candles, impressed the one who entered those sacred edifices with a sense of mystic and involuntary sorrow. ALMOST ALL THE CHURBIHES presented a like sombre picture, and each place of worship was visited by many. The custom of the Roman Catholics on Good Friday is to visit at least three churches, but many go beyond the usage and perform a kind of holy pilgrimage from one church to the other. AT THE JESUITS' CHURCH, the Cathedral and the Church of the Arch bishop, the prayers of the "Way of the Cross" were said from 2 to 3 in the evening, the hours between which Christ suffered and died on the cross. Among the churches that were visited by a large number of people, we noticed the Jesuits', the Cathedral, the churches of St. Theresa, St. Alphonsus, St. Marie, Notre Dame de Bon Secours, St. John 1 the Baptist, St. Ann, St. Augustin and St. 7 Boniface. The churches of St. Alphonsus and St. Mary, on Constance street near Jackson, un der the care of the Redemptilonist Fathers, were visited by numbers of Catholics from all parts of the city. Many entered the two churches to view a most beautiful represen tation of Jesus in his sepulchre. THE FIGURE IS LIFE SIZE, and reclines in a tomb like to marble, which is surrounded by lamps of various colors. The inanimate form of our Lord with His crown of thorns, under which the blood seems to slowly ooze; the strikingly rigid outline of the body; the wonderfully delineated pallor of death upon the features, covered with the cold sweat of death, are true to natur,., and impresses the beholder with a sense of invol untary awe. St Boniface's Church at the corner of Gal vez and Lapeyrouse streets, had also a like ness of Christ in His sepulchre, but of Small size. After visiting the churches during the day, the faithful returned in the evening to the places of worship for the purpose of attend ing evening services. . At the Jusult's and the Cathedral the ser vices were attended by a large number of per sons, and ata late hour Good Friday was con cluded by the ceremonies of the "Tenebrae."

[Washington iunday Herald.] First, as the Senate has to consent to all the executive appointmients, it ought to leave all Mr. Hayes' nominations unconfirmed until it c n be seen what attitude the present Execu tive and Senate are in future to hold toward each other.

Second, pending a solution of the questions which brought on the extra session, Conress ought to take up a hill taxing incomes above a certain amount, and, in the same bill, take off from some arti cles of general consumption, to tax which is to tax the poor as well as the rich, an amount of revenueequal to or greater than that which it is expected to raise on incomes.

He is an excellent linguist, a good scientific student, and has also fine literary abilities. As he desires to speak the language of every race he will one day have to rule over, he is now studying Turkish, that he may not be at a loss if he ever finds himself in Bosnia. He speaks ten languages already, seven or eight of which are used in the Aus tro-Hungarian empire. He is very popular with his soldiers, whom he addresses in Czechian. The Earl of Longdale, the sale of whose effects we recently noticed, is in his twenty fourth year, and has contrived, since attain ing his majority, to run his splendid estate in Westmoreland, yielding a revenue of $1, 000,000 a year, into debt, and to spend $750,000 ready money besides. He married, a short time since, the beautiful Lady Gladys Her bert, sister of the Earl of Pembroke and daughter of Lord Herbert of Lea, better known as Sidney Herbert. an eminent British statesman. The marriage was the lady's own choice, being against the wish of the family, and her brother refusing to attend the wedding on account of Lonsdale's habitual intemperance and spendthrift habits. In two months Lady Gladys had to return to her mother, and her husband committed the dis graceful act of announcing in the papers that he would not be responsible for her bills. The European Messenger of St. Petersburg, in an article on the Russian clergy, says that the total number of persons in holy orders In the Russian empire is about 100,000. As suming that each clergyman has a family of three persons, the total number of persons belonging to the clergy (exclusive of the mem bers of monastic institutions, who are not allowed to marry) is 400,000. There are now in Russia 420 cathedrals, 38,302 churches and 12,408 chapels; and the European MeRsenger suggests that it would be better to do some thing for the poorer clergy than to build 423 new churches a year, as has been hitherto the case. The translation of the Bible into Rus sian was only begun in 1856, and was not completed until the beginning of the year !1877. The first edition of 24,000 copies has been exhausted, and a second is now being published. The total number of persons who entered the Orthodox Russian Church in 1877 was 11,299, including 653 Protestants and 1330 Catholics. It is announced that Hallm Pashe, the Khedive's uncle, whom a change in the law of succession has excluded from the throne of Egypt, is on the point of issuing a mani festo. It will repeat his former declarations, which have shown him to be a liberal and enlightened prince, who deems it his duty to subordinate his inclinations and interests to the well-being of his country. His silence hitherto, after the recent events in Egypt, has surprised everybody. The protecting governments who undertook the resettle I ment of Egypt's finances, the improvement of her administration, and the equal dispen sation of justice, must have been greatly dis appointed, and must feel that as long as Ismail Pasha can neutralize European influ ence there is no hope of the recovery of Egypt from the political and financial confu sion caused by his rule. LET' ER POSTtIGE. A Long-Conttest suit foe r a Newspaper HarLnn Wrlting Upon It-How the Costs Moulted Up. [Syracuse Courier.l the Bangor (Me.) Whig, of a recent date, published an item concerning a law suit which was carried on by the United States government to defend the action of a Syra cuse postmaster who refused to deliver a newspaper without the payment of letter postage. The case occurred during the ad ministration of Col. William T. Teahl as post master of this city, under President Polk, and under a law of Congress subjecting newspapers passing through the malls with writing on them to letter postage. A circulor from the Hon. Cave Johnson, of Kentucky, then Postmaster General, enjoined upon all postmasters a- rigid observance of that law and a prompt compliance with the require ments of his circular on that subject. It was in the discharge of this duty by Col. Teall, and while enforc ing "official" instructions from the depart ment at Washington that the suit against him was commenced. A paper addressed to Miss.Felton, a niece of the late Chas. T. Hicks, then, or subsequently, clerk of the county of Onondaga, came to the office, and having writing on it, was subjected to letter postage, which Mr. Hicks declined to pay. Col. Teall, therefore, instructed his deputy not to deliver the paper. Mr. Hicks subse quently tendered the usual newspaper post age in behalf of his niece, and demanded the paper. which was refused. Mr. Hicks then, as guardian of Miss Felton, a minor, insti tuted the suit against Col. Teall, as postmas ter of Syracuse. The case was reported to the department at Washington, and the re turn mail brought an "autograph" letter from the Postmaster General, thanking Col. Teall for a faithful discharge of duty, saying he was the only officer who had rigidly enforced the law and fully complied with instructions in his circular, and especially assuring Col. Teall the government would stand by him to the last, and defray all expenses attending the litigation, instructions were immediate ly dispatched from Washington to the Hon. Wm. F. Allen, late Judge of the Court of Ap peals, then United States attorney for the Northern District of New York, to proceed to Syracuse and assume the control and man agement of the case in behalf of the United States, which he did. Miss Felton sued the postmaster in trovet for the value of the pa per, and the case was tried before a justice of the peace, who held the postal instructions illegal, and consequently gave six cents darn ages and costs of $2 89 for plaintiff. The case was carried by the postmaster to the Court of Common Pleas, which affirmed the judgment with additional costs of $22 95. From there it was carried to the Supreme Court of the State, which added $37 65 to the judgment be fore rendered, and the postmaster then ap pealed the case to the Court of Appeals, where the judgment was affirmed with the additional sum of $75 74, making $136 19 in all. Not satisfied with this measure of jus tice in the State courts, the postmaster went with the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it was elaborately ar gI ued by Mr. Seward, and decided by a very labored opinion of the court, affirming the findings of the other courts, and renuering Ijudgment accordingly, but with what costs the record does not show.

NEW YORK. 6 GENERAL OBBERVANCE OF GOOD PFI- u DAY. sý The Serviyes at the Roman Catholle Ca= p thedral-Arehblshop Purcell to G Solicit Atd In New oryk. to NEW YORK, April 11.-There was a more 1 marked secular observance of Good Friday e to-day than has been noticeable in this city for years down town, and especially was this fact apparent in business on the Stock, Pro- a duce and Cotton Exchanges, which were en- e tirely suspended, while many stores and t warehouses were closed. Il churches of the a Roman Catholic and Episcopal faiths the i greatest fast of the Christian year was ob- r served with most impressiveservices. In the n former the crowds of worshipers were lit- tl erally immense. Throngs of people blocked n up the entrances and sidewalks in front of the buildings waiting patiently for an oppor tunity to obtain entrance. F At St. Patrick's the crush was tremendous. F Every seat in the vast edifice was occipied f and the aisles were packed with worshipers. The grand altar was draped in back and the large crucifix above it was enshrouded in pur ple. Vicar General Quinn celebrated the service assisted by a number of priests. Car- A dinal McCloskey, with his secretary, were seated within the sanctuary, among the forty acolytes, who assisted in the services. The singing of the "Passion" was followed by a sermon1 the "Passion" and the "Seven Last Words' and "The Three Hours' Agony." d After services the impressive ceremony of the a adoration of the cross was gone through with. Mourning was stripped from the large cruci fix over the altar and the candles on the altar t were lit. A procession was then formed with i acolytes and cross bearers, followed by the clergy with Vicar General Quinn bringing up the rear bearing the sacrel elements. Dur ing the procession the acolytes who, like the clergy, were robed in black, sang the "dtabat , Mater." Cardinal McCloskey, wearing a simple purple cassock, took part in the pro- t cession. At 4 o'clock this evening the "Tene bra" was musically rendered at the Cathedral by thirty clergymen, assisted by over sixty acolytes. A meeting of managers of trunk lines was held last night at the Windsor Hotel. It didn't adjourn till an early hour this morn ing. The following instructions were issued : That presidents of trunk lines will not par ticipate after this day, April 11, in any lower than tariff rates on East bound business, that is, on the basis of twenty cents for 100 pounds for grain and twenty-five cents for fourth class from Chicago to New York unless on property in transit. Private information has been received in this city to the effect that shortly after Easter one or more priests, deputed by the Archbishop of Cincinnati, for the purpose will visit New York, and make appeals from Catholic pulpits for means to aid the vener able divine in his financial troubles. Cardinal McCloskey some time ago granted Arch bishop Purcell permi-sion to solicit aid from the faithful of this diocese. Priests from the Cincinnati diocese will also visit Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and other wealthy dioceses with the same objects in view. Several large and a number of small subscrip tions in aid of Archbishop Purcell have been sent by Catholics and Protestants of this city to Cincinnati. Closlng of the Exchanges and General Suspension of Buslness--Marriage of the Midgets. NEW YORK, April 11.-All business ex changes, many stores and one of the theatres closed to-day.
