The Bar and the County Juagsship.

Since the establishment of this paper it
has always held that the Judiciary should
be independent of all political party
caucuses and political partisan manage
ment. One of the proprietors Of The
ARGUS in recent conversation with Capt.
Haverstick, former editor and proprietor
of the Union) finding his views to coincide
with ours invited him to furnish an
article for THE ARGUS on that subject.
He has done so, with leave to use it as an
editorial or communication, but in the
note accompanying his communication he
says:
Should you publish it as a communica-
ton prefer that my name be attached.
II am satisfied that if the bar of the
county will unite in recommending can
didate for county judge the people will
elect him, and the press ought to urge
such action on the practicing attorneys.
Partisanship should be removed as far as
possible from all judicial positions
The following is the communication:
To the Editors OF The Argus.
The people of this judicial circuit, and
especially of this county, seem never tC
have regarded the judgeship as 10 any
sense party Office. There is no patron
age to bestow, and to secure strict i'm
partiality in the incumbent there should
be no personal nor party obligations resting
on him. Judge Drury was Democrat
while Wilkinson and Peasants were Re
publicans when elected, and, so far as
know. each of them performed the dutie
of the position with equal satisfaction tt
the people. It seems, further, that thu
people conceded to the practicing attorney
the privilege of selecting or recommending
the candidate. Judge Peasants wa
brought out by the bar Of the circuit ant
the action was almost unanimously en-
dorsed by the people, regardless of party
Owing to the enlarged jurisdiction con
ferred upon county courts the Office O
county Judge is of but little less importanc
than that of circuit judge. The incumten
, should have legal mind and legal train
ing: he should have practical knowledg
of the law and of the usages of courts
Surely none are so competent /
choose the man pre-emlnent in thes
qualities as those who are themselve
versed 10 law and who have such frequer
occasion to transact business before th
county court.
| believe if the bar of this county, or
good majority Of them, will agree on a car
didate for county Judge, that the peopI
, will confirm their choice.

A Charming Drive to Lawn Ridge.

A drive, yesterday, to Lawn Ridge,
MRS. Buffers fine farm above Moline) in
company with Mr.. Ben Harper, was one OF
the most agreeable events IF the month.
The roads were good. and the clear sky,
the refreshing breeze, and the cheerful
face OF nature made the ride very enjoya-
Bile. The foliage of forest and ornamental
trees was nearly fully developed; the hills
in the distance crowned with soft and
glorious green; the pastures ornamented
with soft carpet of luxuriant grass, CD
which domestic animals were feasting and
fattening; the fields giving evidence Of
promising crops: the gardens putting forth
fresh vegetables and sweet flowers; and
birds singing in all the trees, contributed
to form a picture of conteDtment ard
happiness rarely found. Everybody

Amateur Auuatics.

The young men in charge of matters
connected with boat club are making
progress. They don't propose a heavy
expenditure of money at the start. They
propose to begin modestly and strive TO

of trying to get Moline scullers to come
down here and give our people an exhibit

it will be done.
Mr. TilEnghast describes the amateur
performance at Moline. Saturday, as fol-
lows, in the Gazette of this morning:
A crowd Of more than one thousand
persons, including an encouraging sprlnk-
ling of ladies', gathered at or near the
boat house CD Saturday evening to witness
the aquatic sports provided by the mem
bers Of the Sylvan Boat Club. The first
race, two miles and turn, was rOwed by
Mr. James FIemming, OF Davenport, and
Mr.. Tillinghast, in single SOULS. 1t was

handsome manner. Mr.. Fiemming taking
the lead from the beginning He has the
pluck and dash necessary to do Daveu

he was in active training. The second
race between the four cared barges, man
ned by Capt. Rosborough's and Capt
Lewiss crews, made remarkable time, tn,
latter passing the line 10 1926. The rae
was one of the closest ever rOweO on Syl

most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous

HELMBOLD's
Compound Fluid Extract
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic Injurious
drug Nor is it quack nostrum, recon-
mended for every disease but for such
diseases as are here enumerated, viz: for Dis
eases Of the Bladder, all Diseases of the Organs,
weakness, &c, whether ia male or female, nc
matter OF how long standing. 1t allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and is pleasant to the taste.
1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines to be able to state that it is nearly 80
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used IN
various parts OF the United States, and have given
70 patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases ia which they
have been Employed whether In town or country,
hospital private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivOcsl satisfac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and benehciS
effects Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors OF several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value of these medicines, and their su
periority over other prepn ations for such com
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines req re considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
menstrua in successive operations to take up the
extractive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unirequently
much impaired, IL not rendered totally inert by
iniudicous and unskiliul management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations OF Sarsaparilla and Of
Buchu, and various modes Of preparing them
have been given, all Of which, of course, will differ
according to the mode of preparation which each
individual may adopt 1t is, therefore, Of the
highest consideration and importance to the pub
lie and the faculty that there should be standard
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessing
the most advantage. TO effect this, ard obviate
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made q
number OF experiments TO ascertain the mos
eTectual means of extracting the virtues OF Sar-
saparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most fayOrably, and it Is Will
much pleasure now offer to the public and tn,
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues Of the medicines, and Az
the most active preparations of either which can b.
made.
Two tablespoonful Of the Extract Of Zarsapa
rlla added to pint OF water, is equal to the Lis
bon Diet Drink, and one bottle IL fully equai 10
