ia appointment was approved by the mass 80
the Democratic voters of the State. since ap' n
is appointment the question OF his elegiDili- a."
, has been raised, in consequence oil the ,i
sssnge at the last session ol the legislature, ''N
t which he was 4 member, OF law chang n,
ng the mode of payment OF the salary OF we ~
Iiiorney- General. There is a clause in the ~ ~
Of the State which says "that no W W
member of the legislature shall hold an OIL w
ice during the term OF his election, the W
,molumenis of which have been increased ~ ~
hiring his term.n The first law referred 10 u,
ID found in Laws of State of Delaware, 1867, W
page 11s. This is purely the correction OF !,
clerical error, as his predecessor received inc q
$500 as salary. The second law, Laws OF q,
is no new fee made by this act, for each At o
iorney General has been paid for such SER q
vices by special act, and the last act reduces Z
the commissions and makes general law 10
answer in place of special acts lor the same
purpose. The objections are purely teehhl-
cal, but Mr.. Paynter is a member oil tha'
great party which has defended the consn-
tuition and law through the dark days o' an ,
archy and military rue, and while legally
lie is not disqualified, his devotion to law,
his parly, his friends, and the appointing
mower Of the State has led him TO resign lne
position. His course in this matter is lighiy
| commendable and must command the re-
specl of friend and foe. Though the choice
oI the people, and legally appointed, ms
sense OF professional honor, his regard Tor
lis friends and Democratic party, lave
caused him TO resign position second IN
importance and honor 10 none IN the Slale; |
In times like these, when both STATE ana
national constitutions are openly dlsregaru-
ed his course is an honor to him ana To tie

Adperttsina-A distinguished authority on
thc subject SAYS that the country is lull OF
men who have got rich by advertising. In
fact no man expects now TO keep his business
running, without informing the people what
he is doing and where he can be found. The
neonle cannot afford 10 spend the time to
. hunt up places OF business of trade. They
have been so accustomed to gaining that in
formation from newspapers that they depend
unon that source altogether, ana govern
their trade from what they learn and read
at their homes and by their own tresldes.
A lively advertisement is a friendly talk be-
, tween business men and their cu3tom6rs. 1t
is daily invitation to come and trade; and
day by day the readers of the DELAWARE
STATE Journal AND STATESMAN expect TO
sec and hear what the merchants, the manu-
: lacturers and the tradusmen have to say.
The JOURNAL AND STATESMAN is Il travelling
agent, making the rounds to tho families oi
, all their customers, and no matter whether
times are good or dull, no matter whether
trade is slack, is brisk, or otherwise, no busi
c ness man can afford To take down lis sign
v nor withdraw the pleasing influence ol a da
:, ly chat For a business man to stop ADVERT
" sing would be equivalent to his saying: 9.
