NEssRs. COURTS AND CLARKE.

A friend, whose good opinion is worth having.
writing to us says; present my friendly regards
70 Mr.. Courts, with commentator for his able
and statesrnanlike Report. see it has extended
his reputation abroad to the New York papers.
was truly glad to hear of his reelection and ofthat
of my old classmate and friend, Maj. Clarke"
An effort was made at the late session to in
crease the salary of the Treasurer, and to provide
salary for Clerk to the Comptroller TIL"
Treasurer now receives 81 $780, and the Comptroller
$1,000. The increase proposed was not consider
able, and was believed to be demanded and JUST
fed by the greatly augmented duties Of thesetwo
officers In addition to his other labors, 1t has
been made the duty of the Treasurer to suPerntenc
the preparation of coupon bonds ana dispose o.
them in the Northern market, If necessary; ana
this NAV add to his expenses, while it will certain
w increase his labors and responsibilities. That
officer has already saved thousands of dollars pre-
MUM to the State by the energy and foresight ne
has displayed in making sale of State bonds.
The Comptroers Office was never better filed,
and never in better condition than now. The
accounts are kept in the best style-its immense
masses of papers have been arranged, and indeed,
the whole business committed to Mag. Clarke mas
been put upon clearer and more comprehensive
footing than at any former period. But in order
to effect these results he has been compelled to
labor day and night, and in addition to this to
employ Clerk, whom he has paid for his services
out of his own pocket.
Under these circumstances, we think the Legis-
lature would have been justified by the people in
adding somewhat to the salaries of these officers;
and we regret, on their account, that the bills re-
ferred to did not pass.
The truth is, the salaries of some OF our public
officers are insufficient; and it would be sound poll
CIV and true economy to increase them. The State
ought to call the first talent into her service; aud
such talent, it must be borne in mind can only be
commanded and retained by adequate and just
remuneration.

remuneration,

The almost total suspension of public business on
account of Christmas holidays deprive US of the usual
amount of news from abroad, and at the same time
dispenses, in great measure, with the necessity of
remark The letter of our Raleigh Co:resp ondent
owes the Legislative proceedings o: Saturday. 1t
i'll be seen that bill has been passed re-districtlng
the State for members of Congress. We have not
had time to give the scheme a careful examna-
ton, but from a hurried glance it would seem that
the districts are pretty evenly distributed between
pa1,ies This district stands nearly before, with the
exception that we lose Onslow and gain Richmond.
We must confess that regret this change. We
have been so long politically with the peo-
nile of OnsIow that cannot contemplate even this
amount of change without regret.
On Saturday Superior Court Judge was also
elected Hon. X. Nj. Saunders, it will be seen, re-
ceived the vote OF ell the Wings, and some few Dem
ocrats. and was thus chosen over Hon Asa Biggs,
who was regarded the regular Democratic candl-
date for thai office. Comment is unnecessary.

IMPORTANT VERDICT ADVERTISING CASE.
The proprietor of the New York Courier and Enquir-
er has recovered verdict of $500 in the Supreme
Court of that State, against Henry ]. lbbotson, for
advertising. I;appears the advertisement, not being
marked for any particular number of Insertions,
permitted to remain in the paper $50 days, at So a
day. The defence set up was chiefly that Mr.. ID
blossoms orders in respect TO the advertisement were
not carried out. However, he took the Courier and
Enquirer daily, and, as was presumed by the Court
saw the advertisement in question, and should have
notified The editor TO alter discontinue it. The
court ruled that he should have given this notice. and
not have expected to enjoy the benefit OF the adver-
tisement without paying for it.
