CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

The Darlington Republican of last
week publishes the following letter
from Hon. J. Allen Barber, our
present worthy representative in
Congress:
WASHINGTON, D. G., March IA.
IoW.J. Wrggiesworth, ESQ:
My DEAR SIR: Yours Of the nth came
This morning. In reply to the inquiry therein,
| wish it distinctly understood thatl silaii not
be q candidate for denomination.
This determination | have expressed 10
many persons of various parts OF the District,
and supposed it well known. / nope sucn
wise action may be had as To concentrate AL
our strength and secure "a pull all together
Yours truly,
j. ALLEN BARBER.
In connection with this letter the
RepubHcau editorially compliments
Mr.. Barber highly, and hopes his
successor may be man equally
worthy and acceptable; to all of
which we cheerfully subscribe. That
another man can be found in the
Third District in whom the people
will have confidence, and to whose
support they will rally, we doubt
not, but who that man is will appear
more plainly hereafter. Mr. Bar
ber's hope that harmony may be
secured, will find an echo in every
Republican breast, since all must
realized that only by harmony, and
united effort in the coming cam
paign, can we hope for success. The
names of several gentlemen are al
ready mentioned in connection with
the position, but of their merits or
dement's we do not purpose speak
ing at this time. In Iowa county
there are two or three gentlemen,
either of whom would grace the
position, and ably represent the in
terests of the District. When the
proper time comes they will no
doubt de heard from through their
friends, but not in such way as will
effect the vote for the candidate, be
he whom he may. An acrimonious
contest for the nomination must be
avoided if success at the polls Is to
be secured The vote IN the Dis
tlict last fall should impress this
upon all minds. Aspirants cannot
now, as heretofore, with safety push
their claims regardless Of the peo-
ple's wishes on the contrary, each
should stand IN readiness to sur
render his hopes, if need be, to Sc
cure harmony, and nomination
acceptable to the people; without
which defeat at the polls is much to
be apprehcndcd.

PHYSICIANS.

The term of DR.. Burial and W.
II. Van Duscn having expired, the
superintendent divided the county
into five districts and advertised for
proposals in each of said districts,
for medical services for the poor,
and the contracts were let as follows,
to-wit: For the town of Mineral
Point and city, also Waldwick, Milf
Hin and Linden, DR.. ii. Van Dusen
being the only bidder, the contract
was let to him, and for such services
properly rendered he Is to receive
$50. For the town of Dodgeyille,
Highland and the village of Dodge
vile and poor house, was awarded
to Dr. Burial, for medical services
properly rendered, he is to receive
Sl45. For the towns Ridgeway and
Moscow was awarded to DR.. East
man, for medical services properly
rendered he is to receive 500. For
the towns Of Arena and Wyoming,
the contract was SWarded to Dr.
Flowers, for medical services prop
erly rendered he is to receive 500.
For the town of Pulaski and Clyde
and village of Avoca, the contract
was awarded to DR.. Lindsey, for
medical services properly rendered
he is to receive SO.
The above physicians are to fur
nish all medicines OF every kind
and sort, which is n contract for the
treatment of the poor in their res
pectiye districts.
The salaries we agree to pay the
above physicians, amounts to $500,
which is Sl26 more than was con-
tracted for last year, but we find
that n number of bills from out
standing of the contract for medical
services and medicine overbalances
the difference, which cannot come
in this year rs every town has a
doctor at a reasonable distance, and
he must furnish all medicines for
the poor according to contract.
The oyerseer's term of office eN-
pired on the lst OF March, 1874.
At our monthly meeting at tho
poor house for the month of Fob,
we concluded to continue Mr.. Re,9ey
for one wear. from the LIST of March,
1874. to the LIST OF March, 1879, the
conditions of the contract the same
as last year except a. to salary,
which is mae hundred dollars.

very Necessary and convenient. and

stairs that leads to the bed rooms,
and outside stairs from the sick
room also one double plivy, and
also II coal house, all of which was
recommended by our predecessors,
and carried out by us, except the
division of the insane yard which
should be divided to separate the
SEXES.

following accoun: Of recent arrests OF
West Virginia illicit distillers, and how
one of them didn't escape:
On Friday, March 81, and Saturday,

assisted by Jacob Kitsniller, made q
descent Upon some Illicit distillers on
North river, In Hampshire county
William Kline and Samuel Wolord
were captured and taken to the United
States District Court now 10 session at
Clarksburg. After the arrest had been
made, and Kline in charge OF Carska'
don, had started for Romney, the pEis-
oner pretended to have occasion to
speak to friend on the roadside. 10
less than no time he WIS laying whip,
and the Deputy Collector at John
Gilpin" speed after him. lke's horse
had the speed, and couple OF shots
fred over Kllne's head brought him 10
a stand. The chase lasted about hall
a mile. Kline is the same party who
escaped from W. S. Purgett and Deputy

loudsst in their complaints take pre-
c,ous good care not to change in their
own counties the system provided
IN the Constitution, notwithstaDd-
ing they have ample power to
do so. Their retention Of
the County Court gives the lie to
their complaints, and shows that
the Constitutional Convention inter.
preted the popular will in relation to
this matter much more truthfully and
satisfactorily than the Radical news,
papers do. Let them cease their de-
nuuciation OF the system, or else take
steps for applying the remedy provided

THE COUNTY COURTS.

The County Court feature OF the ju-
dietary system established by the new
Constitution has been the subject oil
more ridicule and denunciation on the
part OF the Radical newspapers than
almost any other provision Of that in
strumeut. In the Convention, however,
there was an overwhelming majority
81 the representatives who stated that
The people Of their several counties
desired the abolition OF the Supervisor
oYstem OF county government, and the
restoration of the County Court. 1t
will he remembered also thai
Tor long time before the meeting
o. the convention the proposed
change Was discussed, and while there
was good desl CT diversity OF senti-
meut az to the exact powers OF the tri-
bgaal to be established in lieu OF the
board OF Supervisors, there was very
l;nla division as to the advisability Of
establishing the County Court in
some form. A few OF the counties,
but very few, desired to retain the Su-
pervisor system with some slight mo-
}i1catons, but, go FAR as could be learn
ei from public expression, in the greater
;.9rtioa Of the State the County Court
was what the people desired and were
determined 10 have. In fact, there
was no Que feature OF the
nsw Constitution concerning which
tie delegates felt themselves more
clearly instructed than on THE
The system adopted by the Conven-
ion aud embodied in the Constitution,
was believed 10 be the best that could
na devised to meet the popular demand,
but at the same time provision was
made Tor its modification in counties
wuose people were not satisfied with the
y!au proposed. The people of each
county are given an opportunity Of pre-
pairing and adopting for themselves, by
very simple aud expeditions process,
any county court system that they
ieem preferable to that ordained by the
Constitution. They may re-establish
the Board OF Supervisors, il they so de.
sire, without violating any constitution
al restraint. IA yet, only one county
(Ohio) has awaited itself OF the priv.
lege accorded by the 34th section Of
the article in the Constitution relating
70 the Judiciary, and has organized a
court that differs from the one prescrit-
ei
II would seem, therefore, that popu-
lar sentiment in relstion to the county
court has not materially changed since
the Convention was called and the
present system sdopted, notwithstand-
ing al the howliugs of the Radical
press. In fact, in courties where there
is q decided Republican msjority and
where there could certsinly be no po-
itical difficulty in the way OF the Or
ganization of a county court to suit the
notions OF the majority, there is 70 iu-
dicatiou OF a popular desire to
abandon the plan provided in
the Constitution. And yet, the
newspapers in these countie.
are as loud and persistent and shame.
less as any of the others in denouncing
and ridiculiDg these courts.
ltis evident that all this clamor has
been raised for purely partisan effect

in some way responsible for the present
mode of county organization and thai
