THE REVISED STATUTES.
ImpOrtant suggestions to the Legis.

Important Suggestions 80 the Legis.
Iature.
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Can it be true that the Legislature is de-
terinined TO contract for the unfinished and
mpefeet--so far as executed-Work OF
Messrs. Thompson 81 Steger? 1t would
appear from the action Of the Senate in UNI
tremendously laying upon the table a very
liberal proposition Of Messrs. Paul & Tavel,
publishers of this State, that the st. Louis
enterprise is TO be forced, upon the high
pressure principle, through the General As
sembly. Though the Senate may not, the
people may inquire why the extra two dol
lars on each volume ought not to be saved
by adopting Messrs. Paul & Tavel's propo-
sition. If l understand their proposition
Alright, il possesses the following merits:
l. Their Code Is to be prepared by able
and competent reyisors, to be chosen by the
Judges Of the Supreme Bench.
z. 1t is to be in all respects equal to the
present Code, as to type, material, etc.
3. Its similarity to the present volume to
which officers and the public have become
accustomed, viii make it more acceptable
than book upon new and different plan.
4. If as many as 5000 volumes are to be
bought. by the State, there is a clear diffe-
renee OF $4,000 in favor of MeSsrs. P. &
Us proposition.
5. They propose to pay for tire services
Of the revisors, while Thompson & Steges
propose to pay nothing to the Attorneys
who are to supervise their work. Here viii
be an extravagart charseto be provided for
by future Legislatures if the ST. Louis
proposition is accepted
O. The acceptance of Messrs. Paul &
Tayel's proposition will give employment
to printers in our State, where the money
will be expended-but If the other PROPOSE
ton be accepted, St. Louis will reap tbs
benefits Of the contract.
I. If MessTs. Thompson 4 Steger sustain
loss if Their proposition fails, l submit that
Messrs. Paul u laval may also sustain a
loss by well meant effort to supply pub
lie want, in The Shankland compilation,
which would become unsaleable when a
new Code is out.
Everything considered, : is difficult to
see why Mr.. Gilbert, of st. Louis, who is
the proprietor Of the Thompson & Steger
Digest, should be favored to such an extent
beyond publishers in our own State When
once adopted, Mr.. Gilbert owning the copy
right Will have very good thing of it--as
the State year after year may want addi-
tional copies, and of course at lis price.
We ask gentlemen of the Senate to con-
slider both propositions fairly, and then de-
termine which Of them, the public interests
require should be accepted. FAIR PLAY.

WE understand that the three Japanese, who
were brought from Yokohama by the schooner
Gussie Lyon, are to be sent back to their own
country by the Russian corvette which sails to-
morrow morning. 1t appears that the men were
brought away without the knowledge of the Jap
anese authorities, and the fact coming to the
notice of the Hawaiian government, the matter
was taken in hand with the above result. This
little act of international courtesy, following i'm
mediately upon the reception of the treaty with
Japan, cannot but have a favorable effect.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 80.
The Foreign News.

On the Supplement to to-day's paper will be
found a resume of the Geographic news to the
10Th inst. The hints afforded by the scraps of
information that came through the telegraph rel
ative to affairs in Europe, affirm the position taken
by our review OF the situation in Europe" of
the 9th instant. The two conferences of the
Emperors Of Germany and Austria, at Garstein
and at Salzburg, have undoubtedly resulted in an
extremely good understanding between the two
rulers and their respective Ministers, Counts
Bismarck and Beust. Russia looks on jealously,
and continues arming vigorously, while Sweden,
whether prompted by Russia or not, is about Z" re
organizing" her army. France and Italy, in the
persons of Theirs and the Italian Ambassador at
Versailles, have long conferences at which, we
are told, the desire of Italy to have a good I'M
derstanding With France, is dwelt upon. And to
conclude the signs of the times, Theirs and Gort-
schakoff are shortly to meet in conference at some
quiet town in Switzerland. To sum it all up
Prussia would like to have the Baltic harbors
of Russia Austria, fearing Russia's chronic i'm
pulse to extend southwark, will join Prussia;
France, under vastly altered. circumstances from
those of 1856, is no longer solicitous for the in
tegrity of the "sick man. of Europe, and will
heartily join Russia for the hope of revenge on
Prussia and Italy can form no alliance with
her old enemy, consequently she will
side with France. Thus the great European
game appears to be made up, in which England,
20 far, takes no hand. America, happily divided
rom the scene of coming conflict by a wide and
stormy ocean,, busies herself in developing the
)oundless resources of her vast domain, and in
out the idea that that people is best
which is governed least.

while we will most heartily support
the nominee of the Republican State

Martin Welker. We are intimately
acquainted with him and know him
to be a gentleman of such scholarly
attainments, spotless integrity and
thorough experience in govern
mental affairs, that his nomination
would. be tower of strength to the
Republican party in the contest next
fall, and would lead it to positive
victory. He is now serving his
third term in Congress, a position
of honor, which he has filed to the
entire satisfaction of his constitu-

may be nominated, because. he is
eminently worthy, in every way quail

honor to our State. Wyan dott
