The Union and the County yudgesh1p.

The Union, in half column article, in
its Sunday issue, says that q number OF
lawyers quietly met at the court house on
Saturday to take some action towards pre-
senting candidate of their own for county
judge, irrespective of party conventions,
without first consulting the Union. How
could you, gentlemen! Now that the
ass tute editor of the Union has told you
how ably and aeceptably Ito the Uniofa)
the place has been filed by Judge Guyer,
it is expected that you will at once desist
from your reasonable design. What
business have you to prefer an honorable
man in Judge Guyer's place? Has be not
drawn his salary regularly for seven years,
AM acted as agent for the Union at the
same timer Are you so innocent as to
suppose you can find another man-no, we
will say man, in the county superior to
this Guyer in nerve, high character and
good business sense, or one better posted
in the intricate mazes Of legal practice?"
Ii your purpose was merely to recommend
suitable persons" to act as agent for the
Union and secondarily to be county judge,
you have met in vain. AS was said to
Paul, by Fest0s, much learning has made
thee mad" You cannot find them. Has
he not settled all the probate business to
the perfect satisfaction of the Union? Did
heEnot illegally settle the estate of man
in Hampton before proper provisions were
made tor the conveyance Of the real estate
Were not the heirs compelled to open the
case in chancery, before judge Peasants,
| in order to have the estate properly settled
| Did not Guyer's ignorance and stupidity
| in that one case cost the heirs oyer two
hundred dollars? Wasn't that business
| Who among you, with ell your legal lore,
| Could have made it cost them more?
Yet that is only sample.
Cease then another candidate to find,
| Let the noble Guyer engage thy mind.
Let no presuming, impious lawyer OF
other person pretend to have a preference
for candidates without first consulting the
| Union. The matter will then be respect
fully submitted to the judge of the county
court and in good time you impious pre-
| sumers will be gently lifted off the raggeC
edge and an opinion returned on the grea
legal problem rs drunkenness any excuse
for intoxication?" There will be plenty o
time, then, gentlemen, to bring forward
your candidates and decide whether you
and American citizens in general hav,
any rights that political cauc1ses art
bound TO respect.
The opinion Of the court is that yol
are guilty of IAN unauthorized small at
tempt at swindling" an incompetent judg,
out of MS Office which cannot be allowet
by the court.

HELMBOLD'S
Compound Fluid Extract
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic or injurious
drug. Nor is 1t 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 in male female,
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 1t is nearly 80
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used III
various parts OF the United States and have given
20 patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases In which they
have been employed: whether in town or country ,
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
tion and produced the most salutary and benehcisl
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
periority over other prepArations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines reqIre considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment OF different
menstrual in successive operations TO take up the
exuactive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, il not rendered totally inert by
iniudlcious and unskiliul management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations of Sarssparilla 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 10, therefore, of the
highest consideration and importance to the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be STANDARD
preparations OF uniform strength, and possessing
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviatC
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made
number of experiments to ascertain the mos
effectual means OF extracting the virtues of Sar,
ssparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it is with
much pleasure now offer to the public and thu
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues Of the medicines, and ar
the most active preparations of either which can b
made.
Two tablespoonful of the Extract Of Zarsaps
rlls added TO pint Of water, is equal to the Lis
bon Diet Drink, and one bottle Is fully equal to
gallon Of the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, or the Dccoc
ton, as usually made.

The City Bridges near South Rock Is
land


There is considerable talk among our
city officials, and especially among the
members OF the bridge committee of the
city council as to the course to be pursued
by the city in regard to the rebuilding of
the city bridges oyer the Rock river near
South Rock Island. The estimated cost
of the proposed new bridge between Van
druff's Island-over the lower end of
Lower WeIls's Island to Big Island, as
made by City Engineer Boynton, is $22,-
600. 1t is now proposed that the city
council ask the board of supervisors to
appropriate $4,000 or $4,000 to be
used toward building this new bridge and,
at the end of four years. the city will deed
the roads and bridges to the county.
This appears to be a. rather fair propo-
sition, especially as the people living south
of the Rock river are interested in having
the bridge built, but whether the super
visors would be in favor of making the
appropriation, of course cannot now be
toll At any rate, the bridge will have
to be erected, or the interests of Rock
Island and Moline, as we'll as of all people
living south Of the Rock river will suffer.
