AUGUSTA. GA,: Thursday Morning, October 14, 1875. Defeat of Gov. Allen—The Future of Parties. Had the Ohio election taken place two weeks ago, Gov. Allen would have been elected by a large majority. Within a fortnight, however, the hopes of his friends had visibly declined. Re covering from their stupor, the bond holdfng Republicans of the Hast, assist ed by their Democratic fellows, sup plemented their war of words through the newspapers by the introduction of Cabl Schukz and Gen. Woodford, who, in addition to their remarkable gifts of oratory, were heavily backed by money from this country and Europe. Money, in combination, is hard to beat, and we so expressed ourselves, a few days ago, while still hoping for an uprising of the people which should baffle even that almost irresistible element of political success in this or any other land. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, wilting from Ohio under date of the 10th, declared that “the influence of money has been felt everywhere, and the use of it has been so lavish that it is comparatively unconcealed. In some counties from two to five dollars have been paid to laboring men to get them to attend Republican meetings, and rewards in gold have been offered to townships sending the largest dele gations to Republican demonstrations. The combined power of the banks, the national Administration and the rail roads have been openly thrown into the conflict, and it is a question of en durance as to the Allen ranks being broken and demoralized.” That the demoralization feared did take place, as anticipated, admits of no doubt. The scale was turned against the Democracy by the free employment of the agencies above indicated. That the Republican party will be highly elated and encouraged is cer tain, and the Democracy, for the mo ment, correspondingly depressed. The contest in Pennsylvania now becomes doubtful, with the chances in favor of the Republicans, though the latter may meet with as stunning a blow in the Keystone State as their opponents have just suffered in Ohio. The introduction of the religious question into politics had an evil effect upon the Democratic campaign in Ohio, and some very imprudent and objectionable incidents helped the Re publicans amazingly. Gen. Grant will perhaps attribute the refluent wave of party triumph to his speech at Des Moines. That was a shrewd trick, and he looms up more conspicuously than ever as a Presiden tial candidate. It would seem from recent events fhat public virtue is not yet the match of combinations that can be made against it by the tremendous leverage of ready eash. It may be that, in a general election, even this would fail of accomplishing its purpose; but the ef fort made to carry a single State could be proportionally increased in the now doubtful conflict of 1876. We must wait and see what effect the defeat of Gov. Allen will have upon the Democracy before any positive conclusion can be reached. It may end in a split. The best thing possible, in our judgment, would be to drop the currency question and subordinate everything else to the unearthing of corrupt Radical practices, by Congress, and the slogan of popular reform. So far as the South is concerned, we may possess ourselves in patience and await final results with complacency. The evils of resumption may not fall upon us as heavily as they will upon the North. We have gold crops. It behooves our planters to move every thing in their power to make their own bread and meat, and thereby secure immunity from Eastern and Western merchants as well as politicians. Our commercial freedom will be our free dom politically. That once establish ed, it will matter precious little whether men beyond us are called by one name or another. The Titan of the North is engaged at present in rending the oak. We of the South may look with some interest and curiosity at the rebound, which is sure to follow. Medical Fees. The subject of professional charges, whether for legal or medical services performed, has been, and perhaps al ways will be, little understood by the great mass of the non-professional; and especially are they regarded as problematical by that class of unfor tunates who are most interested, viz : those who have to foot the bi 11s. Not long ago the curiosity of those who take an interest in such things was no doubt gratified by the publica tion—which went the rounds of the press generally—of the fdfes obtained by some of the most prominent law yers of New York city, for long con tinued services in certain recent cases, which had acquired a national noto riety. The value set upon their ser vices by these distinguished gentle men, though on a superficial glance apparently large, was by the more thoughtful and experienced observer seen to be eminently proper, when he considered the native acumen required, the close study involved, and the ex hausting strain, both upon mind and body, necessary to the faithful defense of the complicated cause. As an offset to these charges for ex traordinary services in the legal pro fession, we quote the following para graph, taken from a New York letter to the Springfield Republican, in re gard to medical fees in New York city : “A physician in good practice will receive patients at his office four hours daily, and make calls for about the same length of time. From ten to twenty callers, and half as many Louse patients, would be a fair average ; the fees wouid be two and five dollars each. At these figures it would not be hard to make up an income of $20,000 or more. It is said of Dr. Willard Par ker, I believe, that having been called out of town to attend a patient, he re turned a bill of S3OO, and when it was disputed he showed by his books that his daily receipts were much over that sum. Surgeons’ single charges are larger than those of physicians, though the incomes of the latter are probably the highest. For ordinary attendance their rates are about the same, or say five dollars a visit. Frqm twenty-five dollars upwards is the chargefor opera tions. For setting an arm or leg $250 would be asked; larger undertakings being in proportion. For a case re quiring a delicate operation and six weeks constant attendance, sometimes two or three times a day, SI,OOO was lately asked by a leading surgeon. In another instance, where a wealthy gen tleman was badly jammed by a rail road car, he was attended by Dr. J ames R. Wood, who made about a dozen visits, without any important opera tion, and sent in a bill of $2,500, which was paid. This is exceeded by Dr. Cabnochan, who charged $2,000 for an operation alone, while another surgeon is said to have received $4,500 from one patient.” Asa pure question of social science, we would inquire why these fees are asked and paid, which, on a superficial glance, appear to be large ? Why are these estimates set upon their profes sional labors and advice by the physi cian or surgeon in attendance; and why do they meet with that tangible recognition of their justice as mani fested by the willing discharge of the obligation by the party of the second part, who is the recipient of the bene fit derived from the services rendered ? It is evident that men who have at tained to the high positions occupied by the eminent gentlemen referred to above, whose labors have been crown ed with success, after a lifetime of ear nest work, not only amid the truths of their beneficent science, but also with the difficulties, no doubt, consequent upon the early struggles of a profes sional career, have gained too clear an insight into the manners and ways of men to demand a quid pro quo, which would be extortionate —one that would subject them to just criticism and cen sure, thus injuring them before the public and lessening their chances of future emolument —and this merely from the politic side of the question. But there is another ground from which, to view it. We would expect at least some modicum of honor, some worthiness of confidence from the long-tried and the long-trusted physi cian. True, there are quacks, charla tans and imposters in every walk and calling of life; but it will not be denied that as a rule we look for honor and probity in an eminent degree from those who patiently watch and minister to us in the weary hour of suffering and pain. Especially would we apply it to those who have attained to a high pro fessional position, in any given commu nity, after long years of faithful ser vice, by their ability, skill and unex ceptionable career. To have attained to such a station during so many labori ous years, in a profession so open to criticism, where the slightest error might have blasted a career, of itself argues the merit of some confidence and trust. And this is yielded to them by the many —for who is more looked up to and revered than he who first wel comes us to the light of life, guards us from danger, helping us on our way when disease would strike us down; and when, in the Providence of God, no human power or skill can countermand the edict, at last closes our eyes In the hour and the article of death? A political economist, in answer to the second question, as to why these charges are paid, would say it must be because they are the market value of that particular kind of skilled labor; which labor is efficiently performed by virtue of the possession of a sufficient amount of specific knowledge; which knowledge, in a given society, is in the keeping of a few who have attained it by special study, labor and intellec tual energy exerted in a certain direc tion; all together heightening the value of that knowledge and skill and ena bling their possessors to command for their time and services the estimate set upon them. The application then of this knowl edge and this skill—this science and this art—which are to be used in and applied to the relief often of exquisite suffering, often in emergencies, when perchance the prompt adjustment must be made of a fractured limb, or some bleeding vessel—draining the life-tide fast away—must be tied by .cutting skilfully and on the moment among the living tissues by him who alone knows where and how to find it—must be worth the price it brings. To argue farther would bo attributing to the reader as little perception of the value of things as possessed by the patient, who after undergoing minute physical examination and receiving full profes sional advice from the physician for both present and future treatment, on having the prescription for medicines handed him and asking the fee, on be ing told the amount exclaimed: “What, doctor, do you charge $5 for writing this little piece of paper 0 ” “No, sir,” thundered 2Esculapius, “ the charge is for the investigation of your case, the explanation of its nature, the statement of the dangers which are usually liable to accrue therefrom, and how they may be avoided—in short, advice as; to the course of treatment, in which the writing on the little piece of paper is merely the order for the medicinal agent.” After all, we should be careful h ow we hvpercriticise our brethern of tne pill box and scalpel. How much good they do, without hope or desire of earthly reward, often .they alone know. It is the fashion with some, we have heard, never to pay a medical bill without grumbling; and we believe It is often true also that the physician’s account is the last to be paid, if paid at all. Yet his services* are ordered most im peratively, when wanted, no matter what the time or how the barometer and the thermometer stand. We have often heard physicians say, that the imperative nature of the demand, or command, was often in inverse ratio to the responsibility or solvency of the party calling. It is strange too, that a man will often gladly pay a lawyer one fourth the value, perhaps, of a speci fied piece of property, for saving the same to him, when in danger of being unfairly taken from him; but yet will think his lot exceeding hard indeed, if called upon after his recoverty to health to pay a moderate fee to the man, who —with untiriDg attention, as the result of long and laborious research, and by the exhibition of consummate skill has been enabled—as an instrument in the hands of Providence —to preserve and to prolong that life, which had else been lost or held in fearful jeop ardy. Byron knew somewhat of human na ture when he wrote: “ physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem: but although we sneer In health—when ill, we call them to attend us, Without the least propensity to jeer.” SPECIAL NOTICES.
