A VERY VALUABLE BooK.-Laws of
Business for all the States Of the Union,
with forms and directions orall trans
action, by Theophilus Parsons, Ii. D..
Prof Of Law in Harvard University.
National Publishing Co., Publishers,
Cincinnati. Ohio.
Laws of Business Is book that has
the all-important merit of emanating
from one of the highest and most reli-
able of law authorities. 1t is remark
able for lis comprehensiveness. its
thoroughness. and the very great clear
ness with which all the vast variety of
topics If embraces are discussed and
the entirely lucid and Ineligible man
Nper in which they are exhibited to
evelkordinary understandings.
We believe we are fully justified in
proii0uncing this mastery work of
its kind-quite unlike and far superior
to anythingin the shape of a business
law book for general use that has hith-
erto been seen. 1t places within the
reach and within the clear apprehen-
sion ofevery Intelligent business man
and woman-especially of every young
man or wOman-a complete statement
OF all the rules forms, and principles of
the laws of business.
1t is a work of wonderful cOmprehen-
sivcness, of style remarkable for per-
spicuity, and of autho, ity undo Gubted.
We are pleased to announce that D.
d. Hare, Esq, has been appointed
Agent for this county.

Is it True.

We see that some Democratic
papers, which desire to shirk the
school question, forced into the po-
litical camp again, are raising the
cry that Republican papers are
abusing Catholics. This charge is
80 sneaking and untrue that no SEN
sible Catholic will give it any atten-
tion. If the demands made by GER
tain leaders of the Catholic Church,
for o division of the school funds,
were acceded to, our common free
school system would soon be des-
troyed,, and that is what Republican
papers oppose. ..-ft
We shall oppose. with all the
power We can command, any scheme
against our public free schools,
without regard to the religious
We've or complexion of those who
may sdyocate it, and in doing SO ii
cannot be construed as either oppo-
sifion or abuse Of anybody's reli-
gious views.

situation and to adapt itself to the
utterly changed aspect of affairs. 1t
is paying the penalty of its old sub
serviency to Southern mastery.
That mastery forbade independence
and rewarded the meanest servility.
It humiliated Dix and Douglas, and
promoted Pierce and Buchanan.
As a national party, protesting
certain great principles and advoca-
ting a distinct policy, the Demo
cratic prrty does not exist; but as
an organization for place and plum
der it is still powerful. 1t is the
camp of all the discontcnted and
disaffected. 1t relies upon igno-
rance and passion, and watches
eagerly for the mistakes Of the party
in power. While Its Northern wing
fears to ALLEVIATE its Southern by
accepting equal rights, the Southern
wing proclaims them and sneers at
its Northern allies. Such is the lu-
dicrous and pitiful dilemma of those
allies that there can be no doubt, if
the Northern conventions had been
held after the result in Virginia had
been fully considered, they would
all have followed the lead of its
indication, and have done what
Judge Abbott advised Tammany
Hall to do. With what profound
contempt man like Wade Hampton
must watch the flabby political
feeblenesss of his old lackeys!
