HOSPITAI-PAY PATIENTS.

A few days ago we paid visit to our
County Hospital. There are now about
thirty-three patients, and from appearances,
we are led TO believe they are being well
cared for. The patients, so far as we could
learn, seem well pleased with the new
Steward. There are no pay patients there
now, we believe, though there has been, as
We learned, until quite recently. There
seems TO be strong feeling among the
people, against the practice of admitting
patients in the County Hospital who are
able to keep out. We concur that the oh
iect and nature Of the institution is diverted
by this practice, and the room and atten
ton which the county provides, at
heavy expense, for its INDECENT sick, is be-
slowed on those who are able to procure the
same attention elsewhere. The county
should take care of none who are able to
take care Of themselves. To do SO, is not
in accordance with tie spirit of the law. If
the county proposed to set mp home for
the sick. and charge patients so much per
week or month, in order to make it self
supporting, that would be different thing
1t does not propose though, anything of
the kind 1t provides, and pays for the
maintenance of Hospital, and by that is
meant a place where those only who are
afflicted with disease, and hare no money,
or other means to secure needed assistance
can go, by taking oath to that effect, and
receive the care and medical treatment they
need and the county (Which means the tax
payers pays the bill. The practice of ad-
miitng pay patients into the Hospital, has
precedent dating far back it is true, but
that does not make the matter any nearer
right. We believe the precedent and prac-
tce entirely wrong; and ask our Supervi-
sors, if they have not, to give the matter
some thought, and if they find, as we think
they will, that they have no law allowing
them to admit this class OF patients, and if
they think, as we do, that it is wrong; that
it is applying the countys money and means
for use never intended, then stop it at
once.

BUSINESS MEN TAKE NOTICE.

Ono of the many amendments made by
TIE last Legislature, requires all hrms, as
we understand it, to file with the County
Clerk the names and residences of all the
members Of the firm, certified by Notary
Public; also to publish, in some newspaper
in the county, for four successive weeks,
the name of the firm, and the parties be-
longing thereto. This law takes effect on
he last of this month. j une-aud those
interested should comply with its require
ments, promptly. A failure to do so forfeits
The firms legal standing; or, in other words,
those firms falling to comply with the act
will be unable TO maintain an action at law.
That parties may know just what is necessary
to publish, we append the following from
Judge Dwnele to the Bulletin:
EDITOR BULLETIN ipelosed contains all
particulars necessary to be published. The no
tary's certificate of Acknowledgment would be
three times as long this but the Code does
not REQUIRE that this should be published, only
that it should be fledin the County Clerk Office;
only the certificate itself needs be published.

WoBsE, AND MORE OF lr.-Secretary
Richardson, who, on account of his dis
graceful connection with the Sanborn affair
was compelled, much against his will, to get
himself out of the Treasury Department
no sooner did so, than Grant nominated him
as Judge Of the Court of Claims, and the
Senate, somewhat strange to say, confirmed
the nomination. There are no words strong
enough to appropriately condemn such
actions. We can only say that it is one
more outrage on public morals, and another
insult to the nation, which go to show that
the Republican party. through its admins
tration, is lunging on from bad to worse, re
gardless of consequences or the people; and
if the people cannot see that such actions,
if not speedily checked, will, in a very short
time, plunge us into anarchy and national
ruin, they must be wilfully blind And then
talk about third term fol this tyrant in
disguise Give us Nero at once.

ABOUT NOTHING.

1t would seems from what little has re-
Gently come to the surface, that the argus
is in curious predicament. 1t is in worse
fix thsn the ass between two stacks-for it is
among half dozen stacks-and is in doubt
which vii! make it fat the quickest. We
can imagine the following dialogue which
illustrates its condition exactly:
Neav Edior-What is the complexion of
your PAPER?
Duector-Well, sir, between you and me,
that's just what's the matter.
Editor What has it been heretofore =?
Director-Mind you, this is private. 1t
was first railroad Republican paper but we
got beat at that. Then we kept quiet on
the railroad question, and took up Booth in
stead, but somehow it wouldn't 90 down
with the people, and we got beat again,
worse than ever.
Edtor-Suppose yon try old Republican
ism, and nothing else for while?
Drector-It won't do. We have been
doing that lately, and to do SO we had to 60
back on Booth, and tell you, it has placed
us in very awkward position. Besides,
the Republican party is SO terribly corrupt
that it will not live through another cam
pagn. The people have been guled by the
name Republican too many times; they don't
20 cent on it any more.
Edior-What is the other paper?
Diecto,-Oh, its Independent
Eduor-How do you mean, an advocate
of the Independent Party, or, independent of
all parties
Duector-Well, kind of both. 1t goes
in for just what it thinks is right, and as long
as the State Independent Party is led by
good men, in an earnest endeavor to do right,
it will be with them. | think It's bound to
fight for the interests Of the people, call it
what you may.
Editor-How would it do to try straight
Democracy?
Director-Oh, that would be the most
ridiculous thing imaginable. We can't do
that. You might put in few lines, occa
sionally, to catch those few Democrats who
don't like the independents You know
there are few; they don't amount to much
but every little helps. At this point the Di-
rector became uneasy, and wantad to 60.
Editor-Hold on, do It go, am yet at a
loss what course to pursue. You say rail
road Republicanism failed; Booth Republi-
cansm failed worse; straight Republicanism
is too rotten, and Democracy won't do at all ,
what shall it be, Independent?
Director - No! Gracious, no! It's a
good and most worthy cause, | admit, bu
to attempt it now, the paper would die of
inconsistency in a week.
EdHor-l really then, sir, do not know
what CO arse you would have me take.
DUect0r-Can't you be about nothing for
while, until we (he Dmecors) meet, and
consult on the matter.
Editor-Oh! guess so.
Director - All right. Only be careful
what you tread on, just now.
EdHor-A'l right, sir Good day.
And thus it is, putting all in all, the argus
has come down to about as near nothing for
a standpoint as is possible to get. But
those who have noted its changes, and re-
peated Inconsistencies can lot wonder

Seeing is Believing.

If in this liberal age there are persons to be
found who are so blinded by prejudice as not to
believe that medicated stmulent is an item of
immense Importance in the catalogue of human
remedies, we should like them to witness the
wonderful effects which Hostetters Stomach
Bitters are now producing all over the country in
intermittent fever, rheumatism, bilious disorders,
dyspepsia, nervous complaints, constitutional
debility, mental depression and premature decay
To be sure these effects are nothing new. The
great vegetable invigorant and Its cures have
been before the people for more than twenty five
years, and IN every year of the twenty-five its
popularity has increased and its sale has become
larger. Yet there are no doubt many thousands
of intelligent citizens who have never had an op-
portunity of observing for themselves the sur
prising changes which this unequalled tonic and
Alternative produces IN systems which seem to be
hopelessly broken, and in cases of disease which
are not amenable to ordinary remedies. Proba-
bly, many of these regard the statements made in
relation to the sanitary properties of the Bitters
with some degree of credulity, Would that all
such skeptics could see with their own eyes what
the medicine is doing for the sick and feeble
everywhere, what staff of life it is proving to
the aged and infrm, what help IN time of
trouble to feeble women suffering from the COM
plants and disabilities peculiar to the sex, what
"a protection to health and life in maaIions dis
drcts, what panacea for languor and depres-
son what Il specific for all diseases in which the
system requires to be vitalized and sustained.
Of all stimulants it is the surest and safest of all
tones the most genial, effective and agreeable,
Of all the Alternatives the least violent and the
| most certain in its beneficial results.
