THE grand jury was pleased to rap the
district attorney and his friends, the
committing magistrates, over the
knuckles for the increase of petty crim-
inal business i'm this county with 4 view
to the multiplication of costs rather than
the administration of ofjustice and Judge
Patterson was pleased to tell the grand
jury that his friend the district attorney
is doing better. The public will be glad
to hear it, even from Judge Patterson.
There has been gross abuse in this bust
ness the court is largely responsible for
its failure to lbate it. 1t is far from ef-
iectually abatcd yet, and the court and
district attorney have good deal to do
before the public demand for reform will

Frros-Iuccndiary and Otherwise

The satinet mill of 3. F. Larncd, in
Auburn, Mass, was burned OH Saturday
morning. Loss, $4,000. A fire in the
ropewalk of the Charlestown (Mass.) navy
yard, on Saturday night, caused loss on
building and stock OF about $40, 600. The
fire is attributed to friction of the shaft
ing, and it is said the engine has of late
been driven forty or fifty revolutiods per
minute faster than is usual with engines
of its calibre. An iucendiary fire in To-
ronto, on Saturday evening, destroyed
Parks vinegar works, an unOccupied fac
tory and six other buildings.

Resident Physician Wanted.


The care of the insane and sick in
mates of the Lancaster county hospital
and asylum is responsibility that can
he measured only by the number of pa
tients in these institutions, the wide di-
versity of their maladies, and the delicate
and peculiar nature of most of them. 1t
would seem that the unfortunates in
these aSylums are entitled to attention
from the highest degree of medical skill,
if their purpose is to lie at all realized.
That they must fail to receive this under
the present system of medical attend
ance none have better opportunity to sat
isfy themselves than the attendants
themselves. -Four physicians afe elected
annually to attend these institutions; :;
each one taking the exclusive practice
there for three months, and receiving the
compensation of S75 for the time which
he spares from his regular practice,
to devote to the hundreds who need his
attention. These physicians are gener-
ally selected and quite as often removed
fOrpOlitical considerations. PerfOrce they
have not the interest in nor the induce
ment to inquire into the nature of
chronic cases, nor the time to give the
necessary attention to acute sufferers
which they merit. The proper treatment
of the insane is subject of the
prOfOWndest medical skill. 1t con-
stitutcs a speciality in which 4 life
time Of study may he devoted
and scarcely the simplest case can be
well diagnosed by three months knowl-
edge of it. Every consideration for the
suffering inmates demands that there
should bea resident physician ut these
institutions. The best of doctors will
not pretend To say that the daily visit of
physician, who is changed four times a
year, is sufficient provision for the hos
pital and asylum, patients, and the
wonder of it is that no grand jury has
ever had its attention called to this mat
ter, nor reported upon it. The increased
cost of an efficient resident physician
would bc but :; tritlc over the present
cost of medical attendance, if indeed the
office of superintendent might not be in
cluded in the person of i capable physi
clan, to the general saving of expense and
increase of efficiency in the manage
mcnt.

pUELIC interest is rapidly focusing in
the direction OF the Pine Tree state,
where soon will bc decided Il desperate
contest, and where Republican defeat
will place beyond pcradventure the entire
destruction of that party in November.
The coalition that has been effected be-
tween the varied elements opposed to
Republican misruie, and embracing the
entire Democratic vote, the Greenback
strength, and Il large and respectable por-
tion of the Republican party, render the
success of the Republican candidates ex-
ceedinsly problcmatical ut hest. The
coalition or Fusion candidate for COVER
nor, Gen. Plaisted, is i gentleman of
ability and great popularity, whose strong
personal following is certain to make

indicated 10y some recent correspondence
in which the senator's sarcastic alluSiOnS

GARFIELD IN 1874.


What . Republican Religious JOurn1l
Thought OF Him.
New York Independent, July 30, 1874.
The most sterling moral integrity should
be required. Let electors look very sharp
ly at charges which affect the purity Of
their servants. An honest man will not
shrink from the thorough scrutiny Of his
official acts.
Let us take an example. The Nine
teenth congressional district OF Ohio has
been represented for twelve years by
James A. Garfield. He is one ofthe ablest
and most promising members of Congress.
He is good man of uncommon culture,
graduate of Eastern college. was for
some time principal of an excellent school
in Ohio, and preacher, We believe, in the
denomination which supported it, and
afterward a lawyer. He has risen rapidly
in Congress, until he occupies the chair
manship Of the committee which is second
in importance in the House. His constit-
uents have been very proud Of him, and
have had reason for their pride:
But were We citizens of the Nineteenth
district of Ohio We would seek of MIR. Gar
field very clear explanations of his conduct
before conseutins to vote for his election.
We only refer to facts in his late career,
which We judge Of simply from the un-
contradictcd record.
We cannot forget that he was more
deeply involved in the sad Credit Mobilier
| difficulty than any other member OF tho
House OF Representatives. excepting. OF
course, Amcs and Brooks After such m
experience he ought I" have been
extremely cautious. But tho tcsti-
mony taken in the investigation of
the District of Columbia frauds
shows that Mr. Garfield received s., ZOO for
his aid in getting through = paving con-
tract accepted by the District government.
4 Mr.. Parsons, y notorious jObbcr, made
an argument for the paving company, and
then got Mr.. Garfield to make y further
argument and to use his personal influence
| in its favor. OF course Mr.. Garficld's ar
gumcnt was successful. How could it be
otherwise? lie was chairman Of the COM
mittec Oh appropriations. Every cent OF
money voted to the District had to come
through him. Shepherd could not afford
to refuse him anything he asked, and Mr..
Garfield knew it when hc asked and re-
ccivcd for his services fee which would
have been cXtravagant but for his official
position.
That is, so far rs the case is known to
the public, for 81, 600 he was willing to sell
| to the Mcclellan contractor his influence
as legislator. For 81, 900 he was willing
to use his position as guardian of the treas
ury of the nation to make'.thc District gov
ernmcnt award profitable contract. So
far as most men can sec, s., 600 was an cx-
tavagant price for any service which Mr.:
Garfield could render that did not depend
Oh his official position; and, if we can

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The senate took
up the river and harbor bill to-day and by 8
o'clock, the hour of adjournment, had al
most completed its consideration. It is in
many respects the worst bill that has ever
been made by congress 1t appropriates
the largest sum ever before contained in q
river and harbor bill as it left the house
commerce committee, and 1t has been in
creased in the senate so that il now calls
for over nine millions of dollars. The i'm
portant rivers and harbors have as usual
been neglected for the creeks and brooks
Of the country. Late this afternoon Sena-
tor Beck made a vigorous protest against
the bill, which is almost four millions in
excess of the engineers. Of course it will
pass, but many Of those who will vote for
it are saying that they wish they could see
their way clear to vote against it.
The appropriation for the Mississippi be-
tween the mouths of the Ohio and Illinois
was restored to sa500OO. This was largely
due to an excellent speech by Senator Vest,
who showed that in the two hundred and
forty-seven miles included in this reach
was to be found as much commerce as in
any stream of similar length in the country.
Senators Cockrell and Vest also secured
restoration Of the appropriation tor Hanni-
bal, which had been stricken out by the
committee because the committee could
not find the report OF the engineers. The
appropriation of $4,000 for the ice harbor
at st. Louis was also restored.

somewhat checked by the committee max
ING the selections for the temporary officers,
and getting Hoar OF Massachusetts, in q
chairman pro tenn; but this may have been
a concession to the anti Grant side.
One rather irritating fact to the emper
or's forces is that
THE C0L0RED BROTHER,
his most devoted servant, is doing mischicf.
Nearly every southern delegate states that
there is not a chance Of carrying his state.
This suggests the inquiry, why then nomi-
nate Grant at alll In order to have any
chance OF winning it is necessary to nomi-
nate man satisfactory to the north and
west. Grant is not by any means unani-
NOUS choice IN these sections, aud hence,
some other candidate must be elected.
This is the logic springing from the utter
ances of colored men, and 1t is certainly
aggravating for the Grant men to be thus
worried by their faithful ally. Worsc
than all this is the threatened fate Of the
unit rule. If it fails the band that
binds delegations is broken and
there will be hardly one solid for ''the
old man. In point of numbers the
ant!-third term meeting on Monday night
was far ahead of the Grant demonstration.
Neither was striking affair, but the fail
ure in the Grant meeting is most signif-
cant. 1t is really little remarkable that
the great captain should fall in having q
harmonious delegation in his own state and
that even a public demonstration in his
honor, Notwithstanding bands and electric
lights and terrible racket in advance,
held in the great city of his own
state, should lack enthusiasm aud
"boom." The Sherman men, and
among them Gov. Foster and Deni-
son, emphatically express the opinion that
Grant is beaten. The former claims 1914
votes for Sherman. The Ohio delegation
are not a unit on the Sherman question.
Gen. Garfeld's name is spoken of as
probable candidate The activity of the
Washburne men seem somewhat depressed
and some of them say his candidacy is
contingent upon Grants failure. Others
that

Logan is bitterly opposed to Washburne.
The truth is that even yet the shadow Of
Grant darkens the air. Nearly every one
here except the out and cutters think his
chances are gone, but his strength is an I'M
known quantity, and the address and dar-
ing Of his managers and the personal pres
tige of the man destroy the confidence Of
his enemies.
