JUSTICE TO THE DocToRs.-It is quite common for
hippant writers to make ungenerous filings at the
medical profession. pleasing writer thus takes
up the pen in behalf Of the disciples of Escuapius:
Doctors, generally, are men of charity, of patience
and suffering. Day and night they have to go at
the call of tie invalid often without fee or reward,
and not unfrequently have to furnish their patients
with medicine and with nourishment. Ifthey bleed
wealthy patient occasionally no fault ought to be
found of it becadse the poor ones bleed them at all
times. If they fail to make cures it is because they
are human; and if they commit errors, let them be
censured only by those who are free from fault.
Did it occur to nvalids how important it is to
call in their doctors at an early hour of the MORN
ing, and how much of his time might be saved by
so doing Failing to observe this rule, doctor may
have to make dozen trips in the course of the
day to the same Hsighborhood, and thus be broken
down, when his health might be, preserved if his pa
tents were only systematic in their demands upon
his time

ecutive are we'll calculated to excite comment
With some Of these writer's, are on intimate
terms of personal friendship and desire to remain
so. We have always conceded to them the right to
believe that Joseph E. Brown is the greatest man
in the Confedcracy ifthey find such course of think
ing consistent with their convictions aud personal
interests They can write eulogiums upon his pat
riotism sing peans to his Obstinacy, and adore him
to their hearts content for anything care to the
contrary. They may even fall down and worship
him if they think their spiritual welfare demands it,
We shall not fall out with them because we can't
think precisely they do. They have the right TO
order their own form of worship, and it is neither
our province nor pleasure to modest them in it.
But, then, they must not get intolerant They
must not conclude that mere opposition to their

hibtions are impolite. Franklin said that rage

temper gentlemen, some Of you are getting old
enough to learn selfcontrol. Possess your souls in

can't think just you do and above all don't make
it business to abuse and denounce indScriminate-
