Reduction in Size.

To save an additional increase OF price, and in
compliance with a recommonda lion Of the re.
cent Convention Of Western Publishers at De.
troit, we have made a small reduction in the size
oil The Democrat. Paper, which, before the war
was afforded at 10 cents, now costs 25 cents pei
pound " it'll annpward tendency. While country
rnpers have inised but so cents in price, he city
dailies have doubled, and even the city wecklcs
with which no country weekly can compete
charge $500. ltis obvious, therefore that papers
OF our class must further increase their price, or
reduce their size. We have chosen the latter
course, well for the interest of our subscribers
ms tor our own feeling confident that il will meet
the approval OF every intelligent friend of the pa.
per. by rejecting superfuous headings and un
profitable advertisements, and condensing the
remaining matter, las will be evident from a
comparison OF the present with our Jas, issue
we are enabled to give the reader as much that
is interesting and profitable as usual. Our cir
culation is gradually increasing and we hope, by
due diligence, to realize the just expectations Of
our patrons, both old and new.

Gerard, the Lion. Killer,

Captain Speke, the undaunted explorer
of the Nile, after passing unhurt through
many perils by land and water, fell VIC
tim to an inglorious accident in the heart
of England. Jules Gerard, the celebrated
lion-killer and African traveller, has, it is
rumored by the last foreign arrival, been
drowned while crossing river in Africa.
Delivered, like Daniel of old, from the
mouth of the lion and the paw of the bear,
he, too, has fallen victim to an accident
which happens daily in the most civilized
countries.
Gerard is chiefly known in this country
by his exciting book on lion-hunting. He
gives picture, by no means flattering, of
the King of Beasts, and certainly bis ac-
quaintance with the huge animals was in
innate enough to make him a much better
judge OF the case than most men can be.
Recently Gerard headed an amateur expe-
dition ias0 Algeria, formed of sportsmen
who also wiuhsd to see and shoot lions.-

Tho Mvn and the Military Power.

From ths Chicago Post.
We have an abiding veneration for the law.
and believe in its supremacy. We go further
and insist on the implicit obedience of all men
to the laws of the land whether those laws be
good or bad. There is legal remedy prOyid.
ed for bad and oppressive laws, and to that
remedy and not to rebellion, insurrection or
mobs, must the people appeal. All powers,
civil and military are in this country derived
from the Law. There is no inherent powers in
the government, whether that government be
national, state or municipal. The government
Is creature Of the law; is brought into life
and continued In existence by written laws.
and falls to pieces by the repeal OF the laws
creating it. 1t has no existence outside of the
law, and necessarily is limited in its operations
and powers by the law. Our respect and ven
eratiOn for the law is not confined to those
laws and parts Of laws which agree with our
notions OF Justice; we may abQminate the pol
icy or spirit and the object of law, but as
long as it is on the statute book it s the law of
the land and must be obeyed as implicitly as
any other law, and obeyed because it is the
law.
We do not care whether the law be MILL
tary or o civil law, so long as it is the law it
must be maintained. Ordinarily the civil law
is supreme; and at such times the military law
is subordinate; at other times and under other
circumstances the military law is supreme and
the civil law subordinate. Whenever the occa-
sion demands 1t, snd the military law takes
precedence it is as much entitled to obedience
as the civil law, and the reason is, that the
laws of the land provide for the supremacy of
the civil law under certain circumstances and
for the supremacy of the other law under other
circumstances. There is no occasion when there
should be any doubt as to which of these laws
is supreme, because the written Law of the
land provides specifically which should pre-
vail under the circumstances of the case. The
relative supremacy of the two laws Ia itself
regulated by law. The Constitution of the
United States establishes civil code by which
the government shall be administered, but it
also provides for military and naval organi-
zation, and c0nfers upon the law making
power, ample authority to provide military
code for the government of the army and navy.
Ind of such parts of the country where the

The New Atlantic Cable.

An interesting report has inst been made
by the Superintendent of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company of the progress thus
Tar made in the manufacture of the cable
and their arrangements necessary to in
sure success in the attempt which is soon
to me made to connect Europe and Amer
lea by telegraph. The report states that
the covering of the copper conductor with
four layers of gutta percha has been vigo.
rously prosecuted for several months. and
the case shows, ulder the most searching
tests, perfection of insulation probably
never before attained. OF this about 800
miles have been completed, and are in VA
rious stages of completion. Six hundred
tons OF the homogeneous iron, which is a
new feature in the construction of the
cable, have been contracted for, five hun
dred tons of which have already been de-
livered, every bundle having been tested
for strength and el0ngation. Large stocks
OF the Manila yarn, with which the iron
wire is to be surrounded, have also been
received, and over enc hundred miles of
the completed wire have been turned out;
the machines employed in the last stage
OF the manufacture-that Of covering the
core with its external protection-having
only been started on the 1st of September.
The Great Eastern steamship. engaged
for the service of the country, lies at
Sheerness, where tanks are being intro
duced for storing the cable in water. The
English government has appropriated two
ships to the service Of transporting the
cable as it is made, from the works Of the
manufacturer to the Great Eastern. These
ships, also, will each contain three iron
tanks, SO that the cable will never be out
OF water for more than few moments at
q time, from the first commencement at
the gutta percha works to it's submersion
in the sea. The projectors of this great
enterprise are confident that, so far as hu-
man power can determine, it will be en-.
tirely successful, and there are none,
either in this county or in Europe, who
will not hope that this expectation may be
realized.
