The Advanoe-Pay system.

BY the Ashtdbuia Sentinel we notice
that the papers Of Ashtabula county
IaegrdPh, Sentinel and Reporter VI
adopted the advance pay system of doing
business--tbe proprieiors of each having
signed and published an agreement that
after the expiration of January, 1864, "no
paper shall be delivered or sent out, OF
subscription renewed, on any other terms
than pay in ddvancel We congratulate
them on having made that movement; The
writer OF this item was initiated into the
"typogra aphic art" in the Telegraph office,
is "at home" in that country, has many
relatives and friends there who "take the
papers" and consequently feels at liberty
to soy word on the subject, We like io
see publishers and patrous treat each other
fairly-and the advance pay system is the
only one by which newspaper business
can be conducted and be fair for ALL We
believe no farmer or mechapic has yet bsen
found who was willing 10 sell a dollar aud
fifty cents worth Of his products to any
who applies, on "ind,fnite trust" without
note or securityl If such an one ever did
exist, he speedily iran into the groundl'
Farmers understand that they could never
pay for their land, buy their implements,
aud make necessary improvements, if they
attempted to do business in this way
Many country publishers arc making sim
liar discovery-and the sooner that all dis.
cover the fact, and act cordngly, the
better will it be, both for publishers and
their patrons. On the "trust" principle,
fully one fourth of the subscribers to news
papers bring no income to the publisher, but
are the source of a constant, never ending
exfense--they are the moths which quietly
yet surely eat up the publishers green.
backs" and keep his purse so lank and
thin that it is seldom able to cast respec.
table shadow! Yet the subscribers are
not wholly to blnme-the great fault lies
in the trust system; when publishers abau.
don this and demand pay in ddranee, their
patrons will both see and acknowle ledge its
justice
We commenced the advance pay system
on the lst of May last, and its operation is
so satisfactory that we have no hesitation
in saying that we shall never again publish
a paper on the tick principlel And we be.
lieye it has proved as satisfactory TO our
patrons as 10 ourselves. Of one thing we
are certain-when we can not make fair
living by publishing paper for pay 10 ad,

llshment of Provisional Military Govern.

thorizing the loyal citizens to organize
State governments therein. This bill con
ferS upon the President power TO appoint
for every district in rebellion military
Governor, who is TO have the civil admins
tration, until State governments eau be
formed, and Senators and Representatives
of Congress elected. Whenever the people
desire the reorganization of State govern.
mens, the military Governor is TO order an
enrolment Of the loyal electors. AS soon
as the number of the latter shall he equal
10 one tenth of the voters at the Presden.
tial election in 1860, the military Governor
shall order the election of State Conven.
