THE BANKRUPr NOTICES.

One Henry n. Blake. of Virginia. pub
fishes letter in last evenings Herald
concerning the cost of publication of
Bankrupt notices, in which he states
/" The law which establishes the fees for
performing these services Is stated in sections
i6 aud Ia, page 277 of Brightley's Digest.
Under its provisions the prOprietors OF the
PosT are entitled to receive $2.4O for print
ing all these notices"
There is no law establishing the fees
in these cases. The notices are required
to be published, and it is an individual
matter between the applicant and the
newspaper publishing them The aver
age number of ems is one thousand in
each of the three notices published, and
the cost of composition alone is $500
for which Blake asser:s the law only
allows $40 for three insertions each,
making nine insertions in all. The
rates established by the Fee bill of Mons
tana for similar legal notices is $21O0.
The bill of the frs: publication in the
PosT; since the change in proprietorsEip,
being sent to Mr.. Muffly, Register iu

formations outcropping and preclpitous and

The lover of nature will drink inspiration at

Troubles in the Cabinet Brewing-ThC At
tOrney-General Censured.
The N. Y. Heralds correspondent at Washington
says:-
A strong effort is being made to have the President
dismiss Attorney General Hoar from the Cabinet.
He has rendered himself extremely unpopular with
those who have had business to transact with the
Attorney Generals Offlce and especially obnoxious
to Senators and members. 81 will bet a champagne
supper" said Senator the other day, in the pres
ence Of dozen gentlemen 'that you cannot find
single Senator or member not excluding the
delegation from Massachusetts, who will speak
well OF this man Hoar." The company, which
was composed mostly OF congressman, echoed
"Thats so" to this remark and nobody took
the bet. HOar is eminenty against the politicians
and he puts down in this category all the members Of
both houses of Congress. He was so insulting in his
manner towards the Congressman that couple OF
members OF the Cabinet who happened to hear about
it went to him and advised him to change his policy,
otherwise he would make hosts OF enemies for the
administration. 1t appears, however that he has
refused to adopt the advice, alleging that he did not
take charge of the AttOney-Generas ONCE to please
the politicians. The Congressman say all sorts of
hard things about him-as, for instance, that he is
run by eX-Attorney- Eyarts-and they threa-
ten that if he is not removed before Congress meets
resolution of censure will be introduced upon him
ana passed. Strange as it may appear, the most
bitter against him are the members from Massa-
