Formerly, the marshal was collector of
taxes "a singular name for such an officer
but last year the council so changed
things that the marshal is now chief of
police, as he should be, and the collector
of taxes is separate Office and filled by
the council. The chief of police should
also be filled by the council, or appointed
by the mayor, as is done here. A good
collector of taxes is never popular after
one term, and the people who are urged
to pay their taxes will vote against such q
man. And on the marshal or chief Of
police. while the mass of people on both
sides vote for their party nominee, the
roughs, rowdies and criminal and danger
GUS classes will pretty generally vote
against man who has done his duty as a
police officer. For that reason this officer
should be appointed by the mayor OF
council. In no other way can they be as GER
tain of faithful and fearless and indie
pendent officer. The Gazette says:
The defeat of the Republican candidate
for marshal might have been expected.
The council committed the folly of max
ing the chief of police for such the mar
shall is to be the coming Year, an elective
officer; and John Martens had been po'
liceman six years and chief of police four
years. When he was nominated for the
marshalship every rough, every scamp
arrested by the police, every rascal Mar.
tens had hunted down. every person ar
rested for keeping disorderly house, re-
solved to do his best to beat him-anG
they did it. This is the truth, and it i.
not said to cast any reflection on MIR. Jen
uings; it was something he could not help
but it helped him amazingly. The classes
referred to knew that he never had sin
gle hours experience as pollceman-h'
had never throw straw in their way-anC
that he had got to learn not only how tt
catch them himself, but that he was ignor
ant of every method by which the chief o
police organizes his force to bring them t
Justice. We hope, however, that Mr.. Jen
nings will prove efficient in his new posi-
ton and let those scamps who helped t
elect him know that they have caught

1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines to be able to state that 1t is now nearly 80
years since they were hrst introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used in
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 satisiac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and beneiciS
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 gu
periority over other preparations for such com
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care il
the preparation, and the employment OF diferen
extractiye matters, and In consequence are mos
frequently improperly made, and not unfreQuentl!
much impaired, IL not rendered totally inert by
injudcious and unskiliul management OF thos'
unAcquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations of Sarsaparilla and o
Buchu, and various modes of preparing then
have been given all Of which, Of course, will dife
according to the mode Of preparation which eac
individual may adopt. 1t is, therefore, OF tn
highest consideration and importance TO the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be standar
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessin
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviat
the Inconvenience alluded TO, have made
number. Of experiments to ascertain the mos
effectuRl means OF extracting the virtues Of Sar
sSparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mot
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and 1t Is wit
