The Arthurian happy-family have been n fortunate. New York, the accidental President's borne, was al most unanimous the other way. Fol der, his - Secretary of Treasury, can Aiaate for Governor through forgery, vn$ scarcely. in the race.; The ; ma jority against hira is now placed at not Jess than 197,000. The Secretary of Stale, " Frelingluiysen, hails from Xcw Jersey, and he has no comfort at home. . Ciialmcrs, the Secretary of State, isfrom Xejv Hampshire. That State is Radical, and by a close shave k was saved and a fellow elected Governor who got his nomination by Wrupt appliances.

Under the charge of the city," therewas" a great imprdvemebt. It Seventy-three negroes in all stasces of small-: .pdx,wete' confined! in rooms witlf'no "iri dows.

The first day . of the? occupation- by the city, ' the food sentj from the hospital consisted of ten loaves of bread and three two-gallon water cans o,f some sort of soup f or i seventy-threer pa-, tients. The maggots were so thick in' thi3 soup that it was directed to be thrown away to prevent the naif starved convalescents from greedily devouring it. Five deaths occurred on the first day. ; As rapidly as it could be done uca steads were provided with mattresses and blan kets, the house was literally hoed out, ana: then scoured and whitewashed. Suitable ventilation was improvised, proper food was prepared, and in a few days the hospi tal was as well off as most pest-houses. In KSdo this hospital was closed, and tn ere was no city hospital until one was opened in 1870J during the administration of Mayor Martin. -I): " .i-- The hospital building then used was the Marine Hospital on Eighth street, between . Ann and Nunn. The sick, of the city and county, and also the sick from- the - vessels in port were treated tlere, at an annual. cost ot $7,7U0 in 1S7U, and fia,4uu in iavx. During a subsequent municipal adminis tration this hospital was disbanded, having been in existence a few: years.; During its existence it was a source of great and em barrassing expense, on account of the. large number of sicK. paupers sent from the ad joining counties lying 1 along the1 river and the line of the railroads entering tne city. The charter of the city was so amended that it was made unlawful for the corpora tion to maintain a hospital. -1 his was con sidered a much needed change, because of ' the abuse of the charity, spoken of above, inflicting a burden the. corporation was not able to incur any longer. : v-' The last Ijeeislature obviated this diffi culty, by passing a special act, enabling the city ana county jointly to estaoiisn a nos- pital, tne county to near tnree-nitiis ana tne city twofif ths' of ?the- expenselmi I V ''' .-'.

A i year ' ago, the establishment was organized, and put in order for the i reception of : patients, under the charge of Dr. William Walter Lane. During t the year ending November, 1882,j .116 patients have been received, tot whom 3,529 days of relief were given. The resident physician has paid unremitting at tention to the surgery,surgical dressing.and dispensing of the drugs. - j We have called this matter to , the atten tion of our readers to show how good a be inning has been made in a much needed irection. It is fair fb estimate the civiliza tion of a community by the extent and man ner of conducting hospitals for the indigent sick.: and no community can escape the odium of the neglect of the poor unfortu-' nates.:-: . s ' -- .... i - The report of Dr. Lane to the Board of Managers has been, so satisfactory, and the result of his work so good, and on sucn an economical plan.that aq. additional building will ba provided very soon, to make room for its better administration.. . , - The location of the hospital has every ad vantage for thorough drainage. It com prises an entire square under the control of the surgeon. ..Patients , have ample room. for recreation in the open air. 1 here is also ample i-oom - for the location of additional buildings.' - ' - -? -i-ffi' r x We j have . a few , suggestions to make, which; may not have escaped the attention, of the; managers: ' ; . 1. Better1 accommodations should be at once provided- for latrines, fit is possible to have nearly a perfect plan at a small cost by taking advantage of sewage into Burnt Mill Creek ; through tne east end of the square. ; - 2. i The buildings fronting on Walnut and Red Cross streets should be rearranged, and grouped so as to make them more easily accessible from the central executive build ing. I ., ' 3. i Means should be provided .for the ex tinguishment of fire; and this means util ized for bath purposes. : .
