Vo£ COSS4XJXBWOSA.Ij AMBSOM.E3J T, •Jbe good work of the ratification of the <Gtmslitutionsl Amendment by the States goes slowly but torely on, and we are more hope *l than ever of securing the required number of. rotes- It will be necessary that twenty eLbt States signify their approval of the nmendmen’, and twelve have already done so as followB; Maine, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Jievada, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ar kansas and South Carolina. There are twelve more States upon which we can count for ratification with nearly absolute certainty. Hew Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, I’ennesßee, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, lowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York and Indiana. The New York House of Repre sentatives has already given its approval of the'measure; and Indiana would have been brought into line but for .the withdrawal of the Democrats, bo that there was no quorum in the Legislature. The places of these w@ithies are being filled with deoent men, and when this is completed an affirmative vote on the amendment is certain. Rhode Islarid elects a Legislature this month, as Ohio rloes in Oetober. Both can be relied upon to give Republican majorities, and to ratify. Two more (states’then will be re ■quired. Connecticut will elect a Legislature in April, but the chances of Buccess for the advocates of the amendment are only about even. California and Oregon are to be heard from, and they are both as likely to favor as to oppose the measure. The Georgia House of Representatives ratified the amendment, but the Senate defeated it by treachery. When the State is properly recon structed, we may expect to have an honest vote and not before. Virginia, Mississippi and Texas are still out in the cold, but recon struction, when it is completed, will place (hem on the right side. Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey will, without a doubt, reject the amendment. The Delaware House of Representatives has done so already; and the Governor of the sovereign State over the river has advised his willing Legislature to vote nay. But despite this opposition and this doubt, we believe that the amendment will become a part of the fundamental law of the land before many months pass away. Several of the doubttul States may ratify, and if they do not at once, we can afford to wait for a change in the politics of the majority in their Legislatures. Those States which have voted in fayor of the amendment have no power to reconsider their action. It is irrevocable and final. And so, if the progress is slow, it will be sure. Every step that is taken brings the matter permanently closer to the favorable xeßult which must, one day or another, ensue. DRUG LEGiNLAIIOS. Among the qualities that seem to be re quired for the drafting of bills for the Legis lature are a fair degree of ignorance of tbe ■wants of the community and a large deti ciency of practical common sense. Again and again, in reading the various projects which are concocted either by those restless tinkers who are forever knocking holes in the potß and pans and kettleß of society, in order that they may glorify themselves by puffing their patent solders, or by that worse class who look upon a great community simply as an orange to be squeezed and sucked,we find these favorite qualities of our Harrisburg bill-makers prominently developed. The Drug Adulteration bill, now before the Leg islature, is a caße in point. Our legislators at Harrisburg are asked to pass a law to prevent the adulteration of drugs, and the eecond clause of the bill pro vides that no proprietor of a dispensing store shall employ any but graduates of pharmacy to compound prescriptions or make up the medicines for the public to use. "Where, then, are the graduates to come from ? Bow can they obtain the knowledge requisite to pass the examinations, if they are not allowed to loam by practice in- the shop ? One of the rules of the College of Pharmacy is, that every candidate must have served four years in a drug store before he can receive his diploma, as it is impossible in any other way to acquire sufficient familiarity with the qualities of the potent articles used in medl cine and the complex processes used in their preparation. But if the boy is not to be t»l lowed to have a hand in manufacturing, no proprietor will take him into his establishment for four years merely to look on and see how things are done, and so the race will dually /die out. Perhaps, as the country people do not mind being poisoned occasionally, and consequently need no legislative protection, they will send their four-year-olds in to col lege, and thus keep up the supply. Had the danse been worded . Wo one but ■a graduate of Pharmacy shall conduct the business of an Apothecary , Ac., the ■end in view would have been gained, bb the .graduate would be held responsible for any errors in his dispensing of medicines, whether compounded by himself or assistants. A .thorough education is the best safeguard for the public, and all legislation should be in that direction, and not tend to prevent it, nor snake .any distinction between Philadelphia and the State at large. An act to prevent boys from going into the Bchoylhill river, until they know how to swim, would come in as a good supplement to thiß wise bill. Accidents have occurred from mhly venturing Into the river without this preliminary knowledge. Snoh an act . would immediately prevent them, and also afford an opportunity for another Inspector ship for somebody. With regard to the country boys, it would not matter so much. They might be left to drown themselves, ad libitum It is the city of Philadelphia alone which needs this special legislation. ran tudntn. The Pennsylvania' Senate has passed, al. most unanimously, the excellent bill for THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN creating in Philadelphia a Board of Public Trusts. Senator jHenszey, with his fatal aptitude for being on the wrong side o! every thing, made one o t the only three Senators who voted against the bill. The vote-in the Senate proves the strong conviction of that body not only- as to the intrinsic merit of the bill, but also as to the popularity with which the measure is received by the people of Pnil adeiphis. The Board of Public Trusts con templated by this bill, is to consist of the Mayor, the Presidents of both. Councils, and twelve citizens, to be appointed by the Supreme Court, the District Court and the Court of Common Pleas, and to serve, with out emolument, during good behavior. The City Treasurer is to be Treasurer of the Board of Trusts. The Board is to have exclusive charge of all charitable trusts and bequests to the city of Philadelphia, including that ot Girard College. What will the House do with this bill'/' What it ought to do cannot be reasonably questioned. The bill should pass the House as it has passed the Senate, with a generous acknowledgment that these trusts have been frequently abused and mismanaged, and that it will be a wise and honest and charitable thing to uproot the present system, so prolific of fraud, so provocative of political corrup tion. Say that the bill takeß some pahonage and power out of the hands of Councils. Will any one of the gentlemen who has gone into Councils clean-baßded.and who sits inCoun- . cils, not sb an agent for jobbers, but as an honest servant of the people, oppose this Board of Trusts merely because it reduces the patronage of Councils ? Burely not Bay that the bill threatens to break up corrupt contracts, to drive out ignorance and self conceit, to break up political rings and com binations, to stop waste and.extravagance, to use charitable lunds only for wise charitable purposes. Such a threat will excite the hn displeasure and the vigorous antagonism o; interested parties, but of no one else. Tne temper of the people of Philadelphia U so unmistakably in favor of such wholesome reforms as this, that mem who know best how to be popular, as well as those who desire most to promote the public good and to exalt the fair fame of this great city, will be found bandeJ together to support this bill and to pass ii into a law. We urge upon the Legislature to listen to no clamor, and to yield to no pres Bure that aims at continuing the system which has worked eo badly, but to put these im portant trusts at once into the safe hands which this bill provides for them. OBITOABV. KU.'UAUD I). WOOD. This successful manufacturer and . public fPirited citizen died on the Ist instant, of the exhaustion ensuing upon a month’s struggle with pneumonia. He had just completed his seven tieth year, having been born at Greenwicn, (Jum bo [land county, N.J., towards the close of Maroh, 171)9- Mr. Wood was one of our self-made Americans. At an early age he took charge ol his father’s country store, and removed from It, at the age of nineteen, to Salem, N. J., whero he opened a place of business. Five years thereafter he followed his brother, Dr. George B. Wood, to Philadelphia. His active mind and talent for business ltd him to prefer mercantile life to the profession so successfully followed by his brother, and he opened the house of Wood, Abbott & Wood,of which firm, through several changes ol tills,bo continued to be a member until his death 'lhc advance of Millville, In New Jersey, ia due 10 the BDgncilv of Mr. Wood; about the year 1851 be bicame actively interested In the town, and ii. the effort to further his own interests there he gra dually built up the place to its presen L importance. The first to appreciate the fact that Southern New Jersey would bear the extension of railroad im provement, he built the Millville and Glassboro Railroad; and afterwards exerted himself In get ling the Cape May road built and finished, with the various branches that contribute to the use fulm.6B 0l that artery and the convenience of its passengers and freight-patrons. Southern New Jersey has had no friend bo steady and so strong. About 1851, ulso, he started the manufacture ol Iron, Gas and Water Pipe, under the style ol R. D. Wood & Co., an enterprise whose products have entered a large proportion of the cities of the Union. The Cotton Mills of Rhode Island havo found tuuir largest and most important rival in his Mill, and Bleach ing and Dye Works at Millville. The latter busi ness, by the withdrawal of his partners, Messrs. Garrett, on the first of the present year, has been concentrated in his own family under the title ol R. D. Wood & Sons. Mr. Wood wub long a Di rector in the Philadelphia Bank. One of the starters of the present Cambria Iron Company, he haß been Director there, and held Director ships of more railroads and other companies than space will allow ns to notied?' 71 Mr. Wood’s talent and goodness of heart were provid together, by his conspicuous ability in making material out of the persons who, at dif ferent limes, joined his enterprises as assistants Be pever separated from those men, but devel" optd and applied their powers until they became ueelul members of his different firms, or some times dropped off, when mature, for the creation of independent fortunes. From the laboring j man to the possessor of business education, he peiceived the qualification of every applicant, and constituted himself the life-long friond of al 1 who were fit lor his purposes. Probably this power, and his nntirlDg industry, were most largely the causes of his success. Mr. Wood’B ogreeablo relations in society de pended largely upon his oven and pleasant tern, pir. conversational powers, ready and well-stored memory and natural urbanity. Bducated with the dociety of Friends, of which he was a life long though not active member, ho displayed the sobriety and justice of apprehension common with the sect. Of his religious character it may be said with satisfaction that he showed far less than he felt, having a dislike to formality and bigotry quite equal to his love for true heart-felt Christianity. The computation of Mr. Wood’s fortune of many millions will be hard to approximate for some limo, lroin the number of enterprises in which it was distributed. i)R. noni.r.Y dukolisox, The announcement of the decease of Dr. Koblcy Dunglison will giievo, although it will scarcely surprise any of tho largo circle of friends who have sympathized with him in his patient en dnrance of tho complicated disease which, yester day, terminated fatally. Dr. Dnngllson died at bis residence, last evening, In the 72d year of his age. For thirty-three years Dr. Dnnglison has been prominently connected whh the medicxl profes sion ol Philadelphia as one of its most learned, useful ond honored members. He was u native of Keswick, England, where he was born in 1798. Hu graduated at on early age, with the diplomas ol al University at Erlangen, tho Edin burgh tlnlvi roily and tho Koyai College of Bur geons, Condon, testimonials which wore sfter- ward Buppltmentcdbythe honorary distinctions of most of the sclenllflo and literary schools of Europe. He came to this country In 1824, at tho Instance of Thomas Jefferson, then Rector of the University, of Virginia, In which institution he accepted the chair oi' the Institutes of. Medi cine. He became the family physician and inti mate friend of Jefferson.attendlng him through out his last illness. He also enjoyed an Intimate friendship with ex-Prcßldent Madison, to whom he dedicated his work on. Human Phy siology. In 1838, Dr. Dnrigllson accepted an invitation to the chair of Materia Medica, Therapeutics, &c., in the University of Maryland, which ho held for about three years In 1830, the chair of Institutes of Medicine and Medical Jnrleprndenco, in the Joffcrson Medical College, in this city, was created for him, and from that time nntil about a year ago, when 1 til ing health compelled bis resignation. Dr. Dung lis on’s name and influence,- and remarkable til ents, have betn a tower of strengthjo that school. With rare sagacity and sterling good seas-’, in exercised a largely controlling inllaonce upon tie policy of the College, while his happy ami instructive method of lecturing, always coast’- tuted, one of the chief attractions to students lie has out-lived all of his original colleagues am' nearly all with whom he has since been officially associated, and his retirement irom the faculty o Jefferson College has left a vacancy wbicti. in many respects, will not soon bo perfectly tilled. As an author, Dr. Dunglison has been very pro lifle and remarkably successful. Hia "Human Physiology,” “ Dictionary of Medical Science," "Elementsof Hygienp,” “Materia Mcdica ” and •* New Remedies ” are among his principal works, and long onjoved standard positions among thu medical text-books of Amonca. His range ot scientific acquirements was very remarkable, and both as an author and a teacher he possessed the lacolty of digesting and imparting scientitlc truth in an ominent degree. Outeido of his own profession, Dr. Dunglison was a most active and useful citizen. As Vice President of the Blind Institution, and Chairman of its Committee of Instruction, ho was,for many years, actively and most efficiently engaged, and "be has leit one most important work behind him in the shape of a dictionary for the blind. He was also president of the Musical Fund Society Dr. Dnnglisou was a Christian gentleman. Du ring his whole residence in Philadelphia, he was an interested attendant of Bt. Stephen’s. Church utid.for many years an active member of its Ves try, in which capacity the Burd Orphan Asylum lound in him one oi its best friends and most earnest promoters. His funeral will take pH re at that Church, on Monday morning next. As a man of science and letters, as a good ciii ztn, as an honorable and upright man, in ul! the r< latlons of social and domestic life, Dr. Dungli son has died, full of years and full of hoaors. His memory will long be cherished in the com munity where ho has lived so long and won sum enviable fame. Suit- of a tienteel Dwelling, Wo. 111. t Ghif.n street James A.

In our own market tbe effect has been more oi lets marked, and can be traced in tbo various* operations of »o*day. Ibe money market was rigorously active, and ono quarter of one per cent, was paid in addition to > be legal interest on call loans where tuo collaterals pledged were of a nibcellaaeom character. Gold interest, one-eighth and,» xrectionally, one-fourth were paid on loans with pWdge of government securities Three-eighths was asked after three o’clock, at which time mauy account* v ere not made up, but tbe banks waited until four o’clock, and even later. These institutions complain of a d«»rth of funds and utter inability to ac commodate But it is openly charged that the “cibTlocks” who stand in front of the Stock Exchange after two o’clock offering money at “fancy” rates are sc crefly backed by down-town banks, wbese officers think it a goed chance to swell their profi's One bank today f pr t in itß three per cents, and drew $500,000 in green backs out of the Sub-Treasury.
