The Law of Neyvspapers.

We give in the article below ~ he Law
of Newspapers. Here is guide to all
who are subscribers to any newspaper or
periodical. 1t is the law of the land,
made for the protection of newspaper
publishers and those who receive news
papers; law that should be fully un-
derstood by all.
1t is utterly impossible for newspaper
publisher to be at all times cognizant of
the wants of subscriber or of his goings
and comings, and the post Office changes
and uncertainties make it very difficult
for him to know how to act unless ad0is-
cd by the subscriber himself. this he can
do and should do himself by letter, first
paying all dues.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
I. Subscribers who do not give express
orders to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscription.
2. III subscribers wish their paper dis
continued, publishers may continue to
send them until all charges are rdid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their papers from the office or place
to which they are sent, they are held re-
sponsible until they settle their bill and
give notice to discontinue them.
A. If subscribers moue to other 11idces
Withom Informing the publisher and the
paper Is sent to the former direction, they
are held responsible. Notice should al
ways be given of removal.
5. The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take paper or periodical from
the office, or removing and leaving it un-
called for, is prin,a .jaoia evidence of in
tentiOnal fraud.
Bay Postmasters would oblge, by a
strict fulfillment of the regulations re-
quiying them to notify publishers, once
In three months, of papers not taken
from their Office by subscribers.
Bsy~ Under the law of Congress, papers
are not charged postage in the County in
which they are published.

The wife of Prince Salm Salm, an
American lady closely related to Presi-

to President Juarez, at San Luis, to in
tercedo for her husbands life, and that
of the Emperor. This lady has sped so
far on her brave mission that yesterday,
on her arrival here from San Luis, the
Emperor and Prince Salm Salm had q
long interview with Escobedo. and I
have reason to believe terms are arranged
by which the lives of most foreigners
will be spared.

PROCLAMATION BY MAMMALIAN.
The following proclamation has been
issued by Maximilian:
"CoUNTRYMEN: After the valor and
patriotism of the Republican forces have
destroyed my scepter in this place, of
which a tenacious defense was indispen-
sible to save the honor of my cause, and
of my race; after the bloody siege which
Imperial and Republican soldiers have
compelled, in abnegation and boldness 1
will explain myself ...
Countrymen, / came to Mexico, not
only animated with the best faith of in
suring the felicity of all and each of us,
but called and protected by the Emperor
of France, Napoleon III. He, to the
rdicule of France, abandoned me cow
ardly and UNANIMOUSLY, by the demand of
the United States, after having uselessly
spent her forces and treasure, and shed
the blood of her sons and your own.
When the news of my fall and death
reaches Europe, all the monarchs of
Charlemagne's country will demand of
the Napoleonic dynasty an account of
my blood, of the German and the French
blood, shed in Mexico. Then will Ma
poleon III be covered with shame from
head to foot. To-day he has already seen
his Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, my
august brother, praying for my life to the
United States, and myself prisoner of
war in the hands of the Republican liov-
ernment, and with my crown and my
head torn in pieces.
Countrymen, here are my last words
| desire that my blood may regenerate
Mexico, and serve as warning to all
ambitious and incautious Princes, and
that you will act with prudence and
truthfulness, and ennoble with your vir-
tues the political cause of the flag you
sustain. May Providence save you and
make you worthy of myself

Gen. Gomez still holds out, having
pronounced against Juarez and in favor
of Ortega. On the morning of the 14th
inst n portion of the garrison revolted
in favor of Juarez, when fight ensued
in the streets, lasting five hours. The
revolted party was finally put to fight.
Some of them took refuge on board the
United States steamer Yantic, and the
merchant vessels i'm port, and many
were shot whileseeking place of safety.
The forces of Juarez are drawing their
lines around this place, and there will
probably be battle soon.

This new company makes from W es'-

goods of the kind manufactured west Of
Connecticut). and fifty designs of clocks,
beautifully finished, many Of them new,
and especially suited to the Western mar

AS an instance of Western energy in
a new direction, we would call attention
10 the above Company. Within the
last year they have erected, on the then
Unbroken prairie, four miles west of
Chicago, flourishing and tasteful New
England village of fifty houses, mag
nifcent factory, employing $50 hands,
turning out 1000 clocks per week. The
Company, like General Grant, one of its
stock holders, have thought it best to
fight out the success OF Western manu-
facturers against Eastern wealth and mo-
nopoly "on this line"
The great Northwest cannot always
send her rich products thousand miles
and pay tribute to the East on her man
ufactured goods.
Hitherto the Eastern States have
grown rich in receiving our products at
low rates and sending US high priced
fabrics therefor. Every man, woman
and child of Connecticut has earned
l,5O to so cents of this same popula-
ton in Illinois, and so It must he till the
West manufactures her own goods, and
enterprises Ike .h's which take our raw
material (much cheaper here than cast

their principal market in the west should

Prescott, Oct. "a, 1867.

TRsMARKs. - Mr.. Wise draws on his
imagination for most of his facts in the
above article. No public reference has
been made to the letters he alluded to,
but his fear that they will be made pnb-
lie leads him to attempt to break their
force. It's butlhe wincing Of the CALLED
jade-the working Of the conscience that
makes towards of the brave.
a portion Of those letters are in our
possession, and if Mr. Wise attempted to
correctly state the tenor of their contents,
his memory is sadly at fault. We will
not enlghten him now. Mr. Humphrey
is not responsible for our possession Of
them, but the making "confdential" has
no moro claim to shield the writer of such
letters from mcrited exposure, than a
promise of secracy exactel by high
wayman is binding upon the honor and
COUSCIcuCCs
That Mr. Wise, in the campaign allu-
ded to, claimed to be the sole guardian,
and only honest worker for Mr.. Humph-
rey's nomination, in Pierce Co., is true.
That he is the only one of his professed
friends who betrayed him is equally true.
With reference to Messrs. Dale. Will
son, and H. A Taylor, seeking bids from
candidates we have only 10 say that it is
a mistake. Mr.. Wise enjoyed the sole
monopoly of that business, until the Con-
vention when some Of his friends embark
ed in it also.
Fe bad no intention Of abiding to
this matter at present, but Mr. Wise's ar
ticIe makes this brief comment necessary.

The Republican Meeting.

The Republican meeting held here last
Thursday evening, was well attended
The speeches by Gen. KELLOGG and ]. L.
USHER. Esq. were pungent and powerful ar
guments in support of the position Of the
Republican party, warmed with eloquence
and spiccd with wit.
The Generals dissection of coPperheads
was terribly severe. He showed the absurdi-
ty Of loyal men in supporting the Democrat
ic party, and his explatation of his position
m negro suffrage, was one of the most con-
vincing arguments to which we ever listened,
while his "reminiscences of the war held his
audience spell bound, and moved some to
tears.
Mr. USHER handled the Democrats in his
own original and fearless way We can no
more report his speech than dog can follow
the track of lightning by its scent. He clos
ed by commeHding Democrats to the only
hope which political sinners can have-the
consultations of religion. Both speakers for
chilly portrayed the danger of feeling ofse-
curity, asd earnestly urged their hearers 10
work TO secure the polling Of a full Republic
