The Advertiser calls our declaration that
It regarded Mr. Farwells letter as vindica-
ton Of that gentieman's character, and de-
Tended him with vehemence, "misstate-
ment" 1t is unable, however, to show in
what particular 1t is incorrect, and no one
who remembers the controversy of last win

psrtiser says about Its being the first newspa.
per to throw any light on the paper credit
frauds is nonsense. Its pretended revelations
were mere whitewashings of the persons con-
serned in the frauds. And as for the report
Just made by the Commissioners, which it
boasts Of printing before anybody else, we
have only to say that full abstract of it was
forwarded to the PRESS on the day it was
laid before the Legislature, and published the
next morning in advance of the Advertiser or
any other paper.

Oar Peer Debtor Laws.

Among all the matters pressing upon the
attention of our legislators at Augusta there
Il II one which, as it makes no show in the
Lobby, calls for the more attention from those
b. not personally interested. The welfare OF the
porgey guarded by so many jealous friends is
not likely to be overlooked. But the wrongs
of Imprisoned debtors, large in the aggregate
and large individually to those who suner
them, being too widely scattered to excite
general attention, are in danger OF Delng Tor
gotten unless their case is persistently kept
kefbrj the public Grievances which thus
rake place by Titles 1t is difficult to get rene
died. 1t appears that no less than ninety
Goht debtors were imprisoned in our county
jail during the past year, to say nothing of the
g considerable number arrested and compelled
- disclose without going to Jail. This is
about one sixth of the whole number COM
mitted to Jail and more than were sent there
tor any single offence. If as many debtors
ne imprisoned In other counties in proper
aoA to their population, the total for the State
would be not far from six hundred. What
proportion of this number disclose under the
statute we have Ito means of knowing, but the
number is unquestionably large, too large to
Be neglected by our legislators.
We do not now discuss the propriety of leg
isiation allowing the release of imprisoned
debtors on disclosure by them of the actual
state Of their affairs. We have discussed that
- question on former occasion. But we do
say that if We are to have laws for this pur-
pose they should be sufficiently precise to en-
able an honest hut unfortunate debtor to
adopt course Of proceeding that will be rea-
sonably certain to secure the desired result.
A. 1t is the law is so vague and general that
the debtor is constantly liable to be made the
victim Of sharpers and pettifoggers who are
lying in wait to make prey of him. A dis
closure frequently costs thirty or forty dollars,
and In some cases fifty, simply because of
some microscopic defect in the notice or cita-
ton to the creditor or the return thereon
The creditor rarely gains anything by this
unless the devilish qualification of injuring
the debtor, who is thus made so much less
able to pay the debt. The lawyers, justices of
the peace and officers grow fat out of the OPP
Grafton and, OF course, are not anxious for a
change.
The Legislature can revise tue law on this
question, fixing the proceedings with such
precision that the debtor shall not be Knocked
IN his efforts to avail himself of the law. We
hope our legislators will do their duty in this
matter and not suffer this system OF legalized
robbery to continue longer.

The fact that the poems written by girl
OF sixteen who has beer. dead forty-five years
are thought worthy of republication at this
time convinces one that the myth-llke stories
ahnnt ChattArton and "thc AdmiraLl Chric-
ton" may be true. Hurd 6 Houghton, New
York, have just brought out in good style the
Poems of Lucretia Maria Davidson, edited by
M. Oliver Davidson and illustrated by F. O.
c. barley. The remarkable girl who wrote
these poems was born in Plattsburg, N. Y,
in 1908 and became during her life so distin-
guished that she attracted the favorable atten-
ton OF Southey, then Poet Laureate, who
warmly commended her verses highly in the
London Quarterly Review. At her death
Mrs. Southey addressed to her bereaved moth
er some affecting lines of coincidence. A BIZ
