County Judges.

The members of the Rock Island coun-
ty bar, some two weeks since, held meet
ing in favor of choosing lawyer for Couu-
ty Judge, and, since then, have issued an
address TO the people, setting forth the
reasons for their action. While we would
not, as a matter of principle, urge the
election of lawyer, simply because he
was lawyer, to any Office, we must recog-
uize the fact that there are Offices the
duties of which are wholly judicial, and
which none but lawyers, aud eminent ones
too, are, from education, training and long
practice, qualified to fill. For instance,
when judge of the Supreme or the Cir
cult court is to be chosen, nobody thinks
of going outside of the legal profession
for a candidate. There may be men in
the district eminent for education and
natural abilities, who would be preferred
to lawyers for many other Offices, but they
have not made law life study, and they
must do that, and become eminent in the
legal profession, before the people would
be willing to elevate them to the position
| of Judge of the Supreme or Circuit Courts.
| When County Courts we're first organ
lied in this state, they we're simply courts
of probate; the recording of wills, appoint
/
other things of similar nature, embraced
the scope of their duties, to discharge
which did not occupy more than two days
to month, nor require more legal knOwl-
edge than for justice of the peace. Since
the adoption of the present constitution
the Jurisdiction of county courts have beer
enlarged at every session of the legislature
until now we have a court with twelve
probate and four law terms each year,witf
Jurisdiction in all civil cases involving one
thousand dollars or less, and in all crimina
cases not punishable with Imprisonment il
penitentiary; court hardly second to tht
Circuit Court 10 its scope of business, anC
designed to take from that court more thar
half the cases that have been taken there
a poor mans court as it were, where ht
can have his grievances redressed withou
the expense and delay incident to trial il
the Circuit Court; and it is a question
worthy of very grave consideration, wheth
er any man, save one skilled in the profes
sion and practice of law, can discharge thu
duties of County Judge with justice to thu
people and to himelf. -Aledo record.

The colorsd Man in this Country.

From the chicago Tunes.
The traveller of a conspicuous New York
journal who was detailed to examine and
report ubon the progress which Sambo has
recently made in civilization, comes to the
conclusion from all facts that he can gather
that the southern negro is gradually reced
inginto the condition of barbarism. As the
statement implies that the southern negro
has. at some period of his existence, ad-
vanced out of the barbarous condition, the
question arises, how far he must recede in
order to get back to it. The average Amer
lean supposes that there is difference. 10
respect of civilization, between the negro
as we see him in America and the negro
as seen by Livingstone and others 10 Africa,
corresponding in some degree to the differ
ence between the modern European and
the European of the time of Alaric and
Barbarossa. But in reality there is no
such difference. The average American
negro has to recede but little way to reach
the social status of his kindred in Africa

Imnura Water.

People are complaining that in the
upper part of the city the superintendent
has not opened the fire bydrants for three
or four months, and, as a consequence,
there is large amount of dirt and other
filth in the pipes-making it impossible
sometimes, to draw water from private
pipes. 1t is also said that the water
has a very offensive smell, and is unfit fol
use. The hydrants should all be opened
at least once every week-and the city
clerk says this is the mayors order to the
superintendent. Then let it be enforced
before another epidemic from impure
water breaks out

A VALUABLE MEDICINE. -Buchu 10
various forms has for many years been one
Of the chief articles in the Mdteria Medica
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive. aud circuIatory or
gaus. The difficulty that was long ex-
perienced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction Of
Helmbold's Extract of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the genuine
''Helmbold Buchu, the only pure and
reliable preparation.

Cease hacking the System.

With drastic cathartics and hurtful sail
wants, and use that rational and genial
recHperant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the success of which in the eradication of
disease and the building up Of feeble
constitutions has utterly confuted the pre-
posterous medical theorists who insisted
on the nationality of depicting the frame
in order to restore it to health. Appetite,
easy digestion, regular evacuati9us, hat
uraI flow of bile, are as sure result of the
use Of the finest of Americas inyigorants
as increased loss OF power and irritation of
the system were of the old exhausting
method. The new era Of medical treat
ment inaugurated by the Bitters is indeed
a happy one for the sick and feeble. for it
has not only placed health within their
reach. but saved them from the hurtiuI
consequences of an absurd fallacy.

Interesting Trespass Case in Hampton
An interesting trespass case has just
been decided by Justice Baker, in Hamp-
ton, after four days trial. The trouble
grew out of an old feud between Jonas
Barber and A. T. and A. r. Drury, which
eliminated last week, in an assault and
battery-and Barber sued the Drurys for
trespass, claiming $500 damages. VIM.
H. Atwood, Esq, of this city, appeared
for Barber, and VIM. jackson, Esq, of
Sweeney & Jackson, also of this city, for
the Drurys. Justice Baker entered judg-
ment in favor of the plaintiff for the sum
of SIS and costs of suit-which amounted
to $50 in all This will probably be the
last of the case. as the Drury's think they
got off very light. The people of Hamp-
ton were much interested in the case, and
the court room was generally crowded.
