THE JOURNALS IN
NEWSPAPERS.

The pending bill (sec. 4, } requires the
publication of the journals of both
Houses in the official gazette This pro-
vision involves an enormous expenditure
not only without precedent. but without
corresponding benefit to the public. Here
tofore, it has been the custom of the Of
fetal journal to publish an abstract Of the
proceedings of the Legislature, as news,
without cost to the State. The journals
thus required to be published will aver
age at least three columns in each paper
containing in all fifty-three squares. At
one dollar yer square, and for the session
thus far, SO days, including Monday,
June Is, the expense to the State viii
amount tos4,714l
No such thing was ever before heard,
or dreamed, of in this State.
PUBLISHING LAWS, &C., IN
NEWSPAPER.
The same rate of compensation is al
lowed by this bill for publishing the laws
and resolutions in the official gazette, as
is allowed for the journals; and the cost
to the State would be about the same in
the aggregate-that is to say, an indefi
mite number of thousands of dollars.
Under the law of 1857, and the law of
1865, which is still in force, for this ser
vice, the printer receives one hundred dol
lars.

The most shocking crime that the evil
and dizjointed times have produced in
the States in which civil authority has
been disorganized by Radical vengeance,
barbarism and rapacity, is the wholesale
murder of the Mcleod family in North
Carolina-the particulars Of which are
published in another column. The VIII
mington journal aptly calls it the "crim-
inal echo of bad government. In ref
erence to the victims in this horrible trag-
edy, the journal states that the Mcleod
family has long been noted for respecta-
bility and character, and some of the
branches have settled in Alabama, South
Carolina, Mississippi and Texas, and num-
Der among their descendants some of the
most distinguished and respected citizens
of those States.

ALI CANNON rumor that Gen.
Freeman, Judge A. Il. Johnston and MIR.
Watson, of Holly Springs, "have joined
the Alcorn party" The extract of let
ter of Gen. F. written about the time
Gov. Alcorn was installed simply meant
that no mere factious opposition would be
made to his Administration, as it has not
been. But he never dreamed of com
uniting himself to the Alcorn, or any fac
ton, or wing of the Radical party. As
for the two others, they have as much
idea of going over to the Radicals as of
making voyage to the moon.
