LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

/ Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered as wishing TO
continue their subscription. ,...
2. If subscribers wish their papers discontln, l.
ucd. publishers may continue to send them until
all charges are paid. . ,.,.o
their papers from the office or place to which
they arc SENT they are held responsible until they
settle their bills and give due notice to discon-
tinue. ~,
4, If subscribers move TO other places with
out informing the publisher, and the paper Is
sent to the former direction, they arc held re-
sponsibe. Notice should always be given OF the
removal.
s. The Courts have decided, that refusing to
take a paper from the Office: or removing and
leaving it uucalcd for, is prima facia evidence
of intentional fraud.

THE issue, and the only issue, is whether
the Union consists of twenty ak or thirty six
States. The Democratic party maintains the
latter and the Radical party the former pro-
position. What say the people2 Have we
lost the States from the Union? Was the late
war prosecuted to keep the Southern States
out of the Uniop?-to establish the doctrine
ofsocession? If VIC accept the Radical the

Radical Infamy.

indomitabe Jackson spirit stands guard at
the door of Constitutional liberty and good
order. How to attack him safely is the
question. BY every rule Of law, the Pres
dent is innocent of every impeachable crime
until proven guilty and sentenced. Buffers
foul cunning has devised a plan to achieve
the goal OF their Infamous ambition. The
law is to be ignored, and Butler says the
moment Johnson is put upon trial he is no
longer Presdent-ouce charged at the bar
of the Senate, he loses his power, and the
army and navy are standing to do only the
biding of Butler and his foul consprators.
But will the people submit to this internal
plot?
Can it be that this great nation, in which
each citizen is a sovereign, will quietly sur
render their freedom to this cabal of traitors,
called the Radical Congress?
Verify, the war, begun at LIarper's Ferry,
renewed at Charleston, and continued on a
thousand bloody fields, is not yet ended, and
never will be until Northern traitors, from
Stevens TO Butler-and that comprehends
all, from the polished william to the common
thief and pimp-shal have been silenced

How TO TEACH A Horse TO BAcK--A
correspondents, Of the Rural New Yorker
would teach horse how to back in this
wise: A horse that will not, or don't know
how to back, should be harnessed beside
one that is kind and we'll broken, and hitched
to lumber wagon, loaded (not too heavy
with wood, rails, or anything at hand, or
that you wish to move, and then find in the
road or field, a knoll where the surface is
smooth and free from stones, and the descent
from one to two rods. Drive the loaded
wagon to the top, and after stopping
minute or so, command your horses TO back,
pulling steady but firm on tho linee. The
wagon being in position to start very easy,
and being loaded, will be very likely to
back down the bill. After getting to the
bottom Of the bill, speak kindly to him. Be
sure to say, whoa, about the time you see
the horse is going to stop. Patting him and
rubbing your hand over his head and face,
repeat the going up and backing down the
hill until be knows what it means to back,
and then commence batk king on the level,
gradually increasing the load, and you will
soon be able to back all the load that would
be reasonable to back, not forgetting to pat
your horse, rubbing the hand over his face
and head, and calling him good fellow, and
using him like one. He will soon make up
his mind that he really is a good fellow, and
of course he will act like one, and will
become your friend and willing slave and do
what he is required to, even bordering on
the impossbillties.
