EVENING BULLE
Utday, April 2, IBG9.

•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.

(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, April 2.—There still scents to be
some uncertainty whether the President will ap
prove the bill amending the Tenure-of Office act.
A Senator who held a conversation with him
this morning on tho subject, says he
expressed donbts as to giving the bill
his approval without first having an opinion
from Attorney-General Hoar npon tho sections
in which Senator Trumbnll claims that tho sus
pended officer will resume the functions of his
office should not the Senate agreo to confirm the
person nominated to take his place.
It Is thought at this hour that the
President will call this question np In the Cabinet
meeting to-day, and be gnldcd by tho opinion ol
his Constitutional advisers.

received them very cordially, bnt said that at the
Cabinet meeting to-day the Territorial appoint
ments would be decided npon. He also remarked,
good-bnmoredly and In an ironical manner, that
be believed Ohio had very few appointments out
side of fbo State. This romark occasioned some
laughter, and brought forth the response that,
judging troro the appointment mode for the Cin
cinnati Post Office, Ohio was to hayo very lew
ovrn of Stato appointments.

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

that it is difficult to make an approximate estimate of

the business wit h the fc onto and West. This condition of
tb» money market has demoralized that forcommerclal

resolution 'f the i_on«rct>si nal Committee on foreign
