Legal AdvertiangI


We see that Mr. Boss, ia the Sen
ate, has introduced a bill repealiD,
the section Of the act Of 1856, which
Requires ShsritIs 10 advertise thei
sales Of land and negroes in the news
papers, and 10 60 back to the ole
mode of putting up the notice in wri
ting in some public place.
In cur opinion.a ought not to pass
While the old laws in relation to on
cial and legal advertising, were suff-
Gent for The times in which they
we're first enacted, they ara very M
adequate to the demands Of tie pres
ent, and are Ear behind the progress
sive spirit Of the age. When there
we're Few newspapers in the country,
and mad facilities were so scarce that
only small number Of people, who
happened to live convenient to mail
route, had an opportunity to obtain
newspapers, tie cid system Of posting
legal advertisements, written often al.
most illegibly, at 'qhe four prominent
places in the county," was the most
available means Of giving publicity
to sales under execution OF BY order
IF theicoult, but, at the present time, |
when the whole population depends
Upon the newspapers even for local
intelligence Of every desert ption, the
I'D system is very unjust to all par
les interested in such sales. Unless
hey are made known by publication
n n newspaper circulating in the
leighborhood, they may be more
called private than public
ales. The old system of legal adj
'ertising belongs to and is relic of
be old practice Of the law which has {
'een altogetheH abandoned or com-
'!etely renovated in most Of. the
States, and for which the law of 1856
las been substituted in this State.
We hope every member Of the L
'ress viii come out upon this SUBJ i
pct, and WELD his influence in favor !
+ retaining the law as It now is.
