q Claim. ON Government.

cit has been 80 long the practice of the Govern
nent TO put of the consideration and adjustment
Of claims presented by private citizens, that the
delays and difficulties and endorsements con-
nected with the prosecution of such claims have
become almost provorbial. Inasmuch the Gov
ernment cannot be sued, the ordinary endorsements
Of law in regard TO moneys due alleged to be
due cannot be brought to bear by the citizen against
the Government, which ia therefore left to take
IT, own time. 70 admit such claims il may see
proper 70 admit, and TO make payments at plea
sure.
The journals Of the Opposition make much
clamor because of the allowance under this Admin
istrston Of various long pending claims which
found 10 be just after due investigation. If Just,
the complaint should be that they were not paid
before. When IL Is made the duty Of accounting
officers to examine and adjust claims upon princi-
Piles ofjustice and equity, il is difficult to why
promptness in the discharge of this duty should be
denounced as offence.
"Suoh, however, is the blind violence of party
anmosity, that let the Administration and it's off,
Gals do what they will, in the way of public duty,

From Mr.. +. Knight Hunts Fourth Estate; or,
a History OF Newspapers and the Liberty OF the
Press" just published in London, we make the ioi-
lowing extracts .fe
''The Times is still in the hands Of the family OF
its founder and in this respect stands alone amongst
the morning papers. II was commenced by John
Walter, Of Printing house square, and it's frat num-
Der was published on the first of January, 1888,
and was continuation Of The DAILY Uniprsal Re-
gister, of which nine hundred and thirty eight mum
beers had previously appeared Both the Times and
its forerunner described in the heading as be-
ing printed geographically This strange look
ing term was applied toapatent which Walter had
obtained for casting Ia metal whole words, instead
OF single letters in the usual mode these words be-
ing placed side by side by the working printer, in
stead of leaving TO compose with single letters
In short, Walter used stereotyped words and parts
Of words, instead Of separate metal letters This
new mode is described IN pamphlet, printed by
this process, and published in 1888, by compost
tor named ii. Johnson, one OF It's inventors. Wal
ter, who is spoken OF part contrvcr oil this new
METHOD patented il, and then went 10 work to
bring the plan into Heevidenty worked with
great energy and perseverance, and, like all pro-
jectors, was sanguine OF success. The advantages
expected to be gained by the topographic mode
were, that the photographed errors would be far
less than by ordinary printing; indeed, that they
must be almost impossible in the majority of cases;
that less time and labor would be required; and,
consequently, that printing would be cheaper
were made at the expense Of the new plan. II was
said that the orders to the typefounder after this
fashion: Send me hundred weight, made up in
separate pounds, of heat, cold, toet, dry, murder, fire
dreadful robbery, dtrocious outrage, fearful calamity
and alarming explosion. Smother hundred would
be made up of honorable gentlemen, loud cheers, gra-
cious majesty, interesting female, and so on But
neither jokes nor difficulties were regarded by
Walter He brought out the first Of January,
1885, the Daily Unioersal Register, printed in the
manner. This had four pages, had half
penny stamp, and was sold for twopence halfpen-
ny; and in it Mr.. Walter issued long address TO
the public on introducing his new paper to their
notice, and in an advertisement returned thanks
for the patronage bestowed on his new improve
ment in printing.''

The LATE Mn. ELMoRE.-The death Of this gen
tleman received at Charleston on the Both Of
May with feelings Of profound sorrow. The Mer-
curry thus concludes editorial obituary notice:
1--WE are strongly tempted TO speak Of Col. Ell
MORE in his personal relations and private charac-
ter. but this can only be permitted with much re-
serve. Those who loved him most deeply, and looked
up to him as the representative and guardian Of the
dearest relations of life, cannot share their grief
with that Of the public for the loss Of eminent
citizen. Even his personal friends may not speak
Of him here as they think Of him in their Utmost
hearts. The large number of those who sympa-
thzed in all his fortunes and considered bis friend
ship among their richest treasures, will bear wit
ness TO the gentleness, the communicative warmth
and faithfulness Of his heart. We do not believe
there died South Carolinian, who left behind
him the memory Of more acts Of personal kindness
than FRANKLIN ii. ELMoRE, or whose death was
deplorcd by greater number of persons at once
the loss Of cherished friend, and Of an eminenty
patriotic and useful public man"
