OFFICIAL PAFZR OF TItE COUNTY. ft. & P. HcDOUALD,::::"::"::: Editors. " PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, 1?D UTA RY , - - -17 , 1 859. 3 3 Old "Ratty, EAito'r of the Äepullican, last vrfcelt, made known, in over a column of "leaded Brevier," his objections to -the Democrat, and to the senior editor. It would be jnst as easy for us to call t)ld Ratty a 'drunkard, and a 'regular old sober,' as it is for him to call us such, but vre do not feel disposed to do so. -When an editor stoops so low as to fol low a'cotemporary into the private circles of life, and tell all be knows about his character, and all he hears, and all his imagination can conceive, we think he has engaged in a business that does not belong to hin. ' We never have, wc believe, followed old Ratty out side of his office, although we might have done so, and been justified in it by the course he has taken towards us. Ratty's last hope is to ruin our character; if he can succeed in doing that, he vainly imagines that the support we now receive will rally to his relief. But in this he will find that his disappointment will ba ab great as when the sad news reached his ears that the Sheriff's printing aJ the Delinquent List had been given to us. Poor old Ratty, how he must have felt, then. '' We have no time or inclination ibfollow liim in answer to all "thö lies he published in lits last paper, but will only give . the following, as a kind of index to tho articles in which-tbey appeared. 1st, He says he neTer began personalities. - : '2d. He says he never called us a drunkard, and -3d, he t ays he has been so informed,: We deny that he was ever so informod by any decent man, and we now call on him for the names of his informants: 4th, That we are a regular soaker. - 5th, that he does not use any slany in speaking about us. G:h, That the editors of this paper are a trio. "7th. That he will no p (?) to our level in the use of low, vulgar slang, and at the same time he calls us "barebones, atsinin infamous, filthy, notorious criminals, whiskey soakers, liars, dumb brutes, longeared tribe, black hearted, professional liars, idiots, kunks. rats, lying degraded miscreants, dogs," dec ozc dec dio.&cThero's a pretty list for you in on -c;tial of a column and a quarter! and still he gays ho will use no slang!! To cap the climax, he tnlks about our ignorance, and ia lite 8am article speaks of a quotation we made from Shakspeare's Troilus and Cresaida, as a quotation from Homer! Young Moses is out again. His article was writen by his daddy and not by him--self. . It is a complete tissue of falsehood rand blaguardisra, and unworthy of any reiply whatever. "A skunk by any other aaxne would smell as sweet." Change of the Postage -Lar. Mr. English, one of the members of Congress from this State, has introduced a bill into the House, making a change in the rates of postage on periodicals, with the design of making; the postal department elf-sustaining. ?One important change is proposed in the bill; ;ompeJng publishers of newspapers, magtzines, ike, to pay postage on their exchanges. "We haVff no -objection to the passage of some law which would raise sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of this department of the government; but we protest against making up the present deficiency from the publishing fraternity. ; Some ttay say that publishers -should pay postage on their mail matter, the same as other individuals. This would appear very reasonable, if we did not look into the matter any. further; but when we lake into consideration the fact that publishers put more postage money into the treasury than any other class of citizens, it is nothing more than right that the gov ernment should show its appreciation of such favors in a more substantial manner than merely authorizing the publication of the list of letters at a eent a-pieoo! The Postmasters in Nsw York. Boston. Philadelphia, and other large cities, realize ten or fifteen thousand dollars out of their offices, annually. .. If the law was so changed that those" officers would not receive more than half their present salaries, and the balance put in the accounts due the government, it would tend fully as.rqucb toward supplying the deficiency ns-lhe amount collected from publisher's exchaoWe hope roaift other method of raising the necessary amount of cash to make t hi i department self-sustaining, will bi proposed, as our limited acquaintance with the craft convinces .us that to depend on publishers for any considerable portion of tbt present deficiency jn that department, is the mof ; fallacious idea that a Congressman could entertain. Another . such . rootbn ss this from Mr. English, and we shall conclude that the brick which giazed his Leel Jias got into his hat. , .

; j Oregon Admitted; V . Last Saturday; the , bill for the ' admits- j ion of Oregon as a State, passed the lower House of Congress by a vote of 1 1 4 for, to .103 against. The Representatives frdm this Stale, except ' Wilson of the eighth district,- voted forbad mission. Southern Democrats voted for the admission of this free State, and Northern Republicans voted gainst. This gives -two Democratic United States Senators, which, was probably the canse of the opposition from a majority of the Republicans. ' '' JCSTSome have wondered why Mattingly engaged Mr Phillips to attend to the local department of his paper, as it is gener

ally known that he had. time enough. This question is easily answered. . It was because he. lies so continuously that even his own party began to look with distrust upon everything that appeared in his paper. . In order that his paper might continue to be the organ of his. party in ? this County, it was necessary that some improvement be made in its editorial management. He tells so many audacious lies, frequently when the tru th would appoar much better, that even his masters began tn think 'their servant was doinj oo wi Mattiogly exhibited son sens probably by compulsion wheu he. engaged a gentleman of qoCi character, for that is a garment which would- be sadly outrof place on his shoulders. 'It would take more than 2 per cent to iosuro Mr P. a good 'j'naracter, after ono year's Association in that rat-hole of iniquity. "STMany of the prominent Southern firo e&ting papers do not favor the proposition for the acquisition of Cuba, fur the reason that our government would be in duty bound to stop the slave trade, which is Dow carried on and legalized there. Northern fanatics oppose the scheme because it would bo acquiring more slave territory, which they consider very wicked. There is about as much sense in this as in the generality of 'the dogmas they are so eager to embrace', . However, it is not to be supposed that they will agrte to anything proposed by a Democrat, no matter how beneficial it might' bs to the country. If they should favor a proposition relative to any public measure, wc should doubt its propriety. ' ' XMr Puilups, the Local of the Republican, gives Mattingly a twist "where his hair's short," although ho did not probably intend it, as petsonaHo hi3 associate., Ir-luUtoryJw says" it will be Msfaiai toYce , sucT matters of local interest as properly belong to the public, but tt ill never intrude into the private a (Tai is of a family to get a local item.". When it is known to the public that this (intrusion into family affairs) i3 JJattingly's "best holt," they will appreciate the dij. . gÄSSWonder if the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne fc Chicago Rail Road Company gires passes to editors on the principle that it is strictly a business transaction, in which it is to receive all the profits? We believe it is customary (except vrith this road,) to give passes to all editors on the line who publish theirtime tables, and do such other advertising as tha company may desire. The LaPorte road passes both edi'ors of this paper; the Pittsburgh road passed both editors last year, t)ut refuses to pass but one tkia year.' If the road is in su-h straightened circumstances that it cannot afford anything more liberal than thi3, we move that a collection be taken up for it, from the organ-grinders and peanut boys. For the Marshall County DemocratOur Paupers. Wi?at.8hall be done with the Paupers of our couni has become a question of seri ous important to the public: that some reform. in the present arrangement for taking care of them is rolled for, none, who are acquainted with the Sets in the case, 'an doubt. A n uLrm Ain hn efft' tvitllOUt rroneral discussion, I hope by what 1 snR o . - 'it J5Jf IU Vllblb PUUIC.IIplljJ vp...iu, p possible, keep. up the agitation until it is discovered, either that the present system of taking care of the poor is the nost perfect wo ean have, or that it . is altogelher wrong, and that Us enors may be speedily ccnected., . ..... ... It is well known that by tho prssent arrangement the Township Board are the Overseers of the Poor for each Township; to them all application for relief mnst be made, and when the applicant is received; they must at once procure a place where he cap be furnished with bed and board. This is a difficult task, for paupers are not generally a very desirable class of boarders, and it is often only by paying exhorbitant'prices that - their keeping .can be hlrod at all. 7 . " f It Is furthermore' made tlie duty ' of the Board, On the firstturday in May of each year, to sell out the keeping of all the paupers to the lowest bidder. ' This would sesm,: by far, the best, and most economics; plan that could be adopted; but the excellency ' of 'the .theory, "in this case, as in many others, is lost in the prac tice.- There are usually bids for only afewi of -the paupers; the balance are left on the hands of the Board to Bcurj them places, as best they can, and this, as we hare be fore intimated, cart only be done by - ofTerd ing inducements Mti' the' way f ruinous prices. " " -

There 'are still other objections to' the present plan, j which, if not of pecuniary t importance, are, at least, annoying to the Bcrd, and that if, the numerous' complaints that are laid before them of the bad treatment of tie paupers. Upon such rer rsseutations.beipgmadetheJJoard must institute an inquiry, and if the staternenU are Vouad truorUey,r 'gJto

hunt theavano th explace If, now, we bad. a good, and w.ell conducted Poor Farm, all these difficulties would be obviated, and fully one half the expense of the present system would be saved to tho County. Of course the public will 6ay. demonstrate this to us, and then we will go in Tor a, change. I will try.;.-. . ." ; , ;;", In the'fir8t place,'if.we had a Poor Farm the number of paupers would be less; this is evident for two reasons: A fewer num- .... .. .. i ber, by far, would apply for relief if they knew they would be immediately transfer red to a farm, and there compelled ;Q labor to the extent of their ability. Thiy would preftr to labor 'ud support themselves, rather than yDOr iQ(j 8upported. .Again. lh. uaturi pride of th.eir relations would keep many from becoming a Conty charge; they would be unwilling to endure the stigma of the Poor House, but they are very well satisfied to , keep them in their families to the tune of three dollars per week. I know of some paupers in this County, who have friends abundantly able to support them, and who would not now bo a County charge if we had a Poor House. -: Again: it is very evident that when all the arrangements are made as at a Poor House the actual cost of keeping the paupers must bo materially diminished; there they can be supplied , with-plain, substantial food, and receive that attention ; that tvill be most conducive to health, and ultimately result in their ceasing to be a county charge. The labor, of course, that can 'be got from them, for there are always some that can do no Inconsiderable amount of work, will detract materially from the actual cost of their keeping. The statistics of several ' counties in which there are well conducted Poor Houses, fur I have taken some pains to inform myself, show a very satisfactory result. In counties with double the population of ours, the expense of keeping the poor was only about halt aa much per year. In one county in Ohio, after footing up all accounts and deducting it from the' amount of the proceeds of the farm, there was left a margin of 870 in favor of the county, and this in a county, too, that had more paupers than ours. These are facts worthy of attention, for they show, in a way that cannot err, the superior advantages of the system I advocate. ' ' I will doubtless bo met, with' the argu ment that we have tried keeping up a Poor Farm in this county, and it was found to be more expensive thn the present sys tem. That may all be very true, but you must remember that the circumstances are different, now, the number of paupers have increased four fold, and what may have been truo of a limited number, may not be true when that number is'largely increased. Rut the truth is, it is cot so that the expense of .taking care of the poor was heavier with the farm than without. The common judgment of all who have given any attention to the . matter is, that the disposition made of the farm has been attended with great loss to the county. Marshall County. is now paying, for the support of her paupers, more than fifteen hundred dollars a- year,, and this sum is con8tautly . increasing. This is a heavy burden' on the people, and if there is any way possible to reduce it, an earnest effort ought to be made in the matter. If the purchase of a Poor.Farm, worth from foar . i- , to fire thousand dollars, would relieve us of some of this burden, let thsre be earn est action in the matter, and let the initiatory steps to this end be at once taken. For ray part I should like to see a vote on this question at some general election. W'o speaks next? . . 11. A. 0. PACKARD, ' Clerk Center Township. For the Marshall CCJ Democrat.) .

A few days since, we. paid a visit to tho extensive medical laboratory of 'Dr. Roback. the well known founder of the Scandinavian System of Practice, in this Country. Few of our citizens are a rare of the extent of the sale of these remedies throughout the South and West, for the diseases incidental to which sections, they appear to act almost as a Sovereign specific. For the benefit'of our readers we will fournish a description of the premises. The buildmg appropriated to the preparation of the Scandinavian Remedies, isn very large and comodious tenement, tilted throughout with a view to the speedy dispatch of buisness, "which is so systematized, that its entire 'operations; move like clock-work. Entering upon the first floor, the attention is attracted to a large number of young persons seated at regular intervals, the entire length of the apartment, anl all busily engaged in counting, boxing, wrapping and . labeling tho -Blood Pills. We found here a most ingenious contrivance for boxing the pill, it being so , arranged that by a simple movement, some forty or fifty boxes ' are filled at the samer lime,'- all containing precisely the same number of litt le round health restoratives. These boxes ther moved from hand to hand among the operatives, each of whom adds to its completeness, until! it reaches the last, when they are neatlv pat up in 'bundles of a gross each, and ready for the market.! . - , r Passing into the basement of the buildmg, a laro auu well ventilated apartment, we found ourselves surrounded by a large number of tanks, fitted up in an improved manner- as filterers. These tanks contained about 2.000 gallons of the Blood Purifier, all in au active state of preparation. Here we saw a number ol implements, of the names of which we are ignorant, but all, we presumeused in the manufacture of the remedies. This department is under the exclusive control of the Doctor himself, gives , his personal alten: tion to the medicines m the different stages uf their manufacture. " Another apartment we found used aS a dryini? room, where, hanged upon shelrts, wo sawwh.at we . would have supposed , to be a sufficient quantity of pills to physic al creation To our surprise, However, we learned that this was less than a month's supply, even at the rate of last year's sale, I be present demand indicating a great increase on those of last year. , , . The third and fouith stories we found appropriated to packing, and containing vast quantities of strange looking roots and herbs, in their crude condi.ion," and in a concentrated state, with machinery I-used for various purposes. iu . properly and exftediiiously ci. ryinjr on the. work of the , - J - J .5 .i .)'u " , . aboratory. From a conversation with the 'gentleman who po.itely showed us through" - the premises, ve learned that not less. than 3,600 agents ar f engaged in disposing of the Scandinavian Remedies in different portions of the Union. The Doctor is certainly a thorough-going business, as well as a scientific man, and be is determined that his remedies shall be, not only extensively circulated, bat widely known, and to this end he extends his advertising influence to over 470 newspapers, lie allows no means to be left uniritfd, by which the AVorld may know of the remedies he offers, and throughout the entire country his Alruauaces can bo found, sent gratuitously. though his agents, to' all who may desire them. !- 5 ; 'The number of these Almanacs sent out during the past year was about 480,000. all which are gotten up neatly and , filled useful and interesting information, either compucu or couipucu uy uv. xwuhck, who among his other manifold duties, still has time for scientific reseaiches in that quarter. . ,j We do. not entirely share ia the popular delusion that all proprietory remedies are "Quack Medicines" for we can see nrl reason why medu-ines, the composition and , v , - .1. euects pi whicn nave consiuuica tne.iue 1 itUUv or i nose wuo nave iven ujeir unIULU nwiuui ij ii v .., p.wv..v. w mj .
