MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the we flare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa.
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal Of skill, and follows as the natural effect
Of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease and who had taken advantage Of
every available means that promised relief, but
without success until they called upon DR.. Do
berty, who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is gen.


tlcman who seeks. not by defamation of others,
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure In no case does the Doctor make Il
charge unless he effects cure. This he is able
to do. because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola-
tOn which appcrtans to that confidence. Per-
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, rs for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist on obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
His Offices are on Sacramento street, opposite the

Nobody believes that there is any par
ty among loyal men opposed to the speed
lest national reorganization, although there
are many who say so in the hope of max
ing political capital The sole practical
question is one of method, and we are
much more likely to err by haste than
by reflection. We are very sorry, there
fore, to see journals of which finer sense
of duty was to be expected adicating
their function of enightening public opin-
ion by argument and raising the cry that
the people have made up their minds to
certain result, right or wrong, and that any
party will be ruined who tries to withstand


None can be more conscious of the
enormity of such a cry than some who
raise 1t. The business of an honest Jour
nalist IS not to guess at the tendency of
the popular current and then float with it
upon the theory that it can not be resisted,
but it is to endeayor to turn that current
in the true direction.


And for what indeed, are free speech
and free press valuable but to mould
public opinion9 Thepress and the tongue
may as well be muzzled by tyrant as by
the tyrannical fear of majority; and the
most contemplate newspaper in the Uni
ted States is such because its only aim is
to reflect what it believes to be the current
opinion, however base.


We are not unmindful of the necessity
of parties to the accomplishment of al po-
litical reforms, and of the peculiar necessi-
ty OF union among the true friends of the
Government at this time. We are indeed
quite sure that there is rather an apparent
than an actual difference in the Union par
ty. But nothing more surely tends to
create schism than hot and reckless talk
in Congress and in newspapers, and that
testy dogmatism which is amusing in a
katydid and ridiculous in an editor or a
legislator.


There can be no assumption more utter
ly baseless than that the people of this
country, who have the decision of the
question, are solely anxious to have the
form of the Union restored without consid-
Grafton of the means by which the work
shall be accomplished. They are not anx-
ious to put fire to gunpowder and consider
afterward the question of explosion. Pub
lie opinion we are glad to believe, over
whelmingly favors the just and honorable
settlement of our great question, and it is
the pleasant duty of the press to sustain
and fortify it


But fine words butter no parsnips. The
people are not deceived as to the real feel
ing and condition of the late rebel section.
They know perfectly well that the eman-
cipation amendment was adopted there
because the voters could not help them
selves. The President made it an indis-
pensable preliminary step toward reorgan-
ization. That step has been accomplished,
and the President waits patiently to see
what other steps Congress may deem de-
sirable and essential That question will
not be crushed" nor does the country de-
sire that it should be. 1t will be consido
