THE HICKMAN COURIER,
FmIton county Bible society.

We publish to-day the advertisement
of Fulton County Bible Society, and
this being an enterprise in which all
christians, as we'll as all friends of chris
tianity are alike interested, we with
pleasure present some of the rules OF
the American Bible Society in relation
to the price Of books, auxiliaries and
others.
The regulation as fixed by the consti
tutiou, is to sell books to all Bible socie
ties sat cost. To auxiliary societies
which agree to give their surplus funds
to the parent society, deduction of five
per cent is made; and few varieties
designed for the poor and for schools
there as a still further deduction. En-
couragement is thus given to auxiliaries
to keen up depositoFies with books fol
sale, and also for the supply of the
ueedfuI, gratuitously They are sold 70
no other parties for less than catalogue
price.
The reason why the American Bible
Society sells its books to all CLASSES ex-
cepting Auxiliary Bible Societies al cost
is that it desires to cheaper the sacred
scriptures as much as possible, SO as to
bring them within the reach of all elasses
of men. 1t is the crownipg glory of
this institution, that it has done not a
little 10 render the word of God the
cheapest book in the world. Thereason
why the society sells to its auxiliaries at
a discount of FIVE per cent, which is Of
course FIVE per cent less than cost, as it
is marked on the price list, Is the desire
of the society to have its books sold at
uniform prices in every portion of the
country, and the FIVE per cent. discount
enables auxiliaries to pay she expense
of transportation, &c, and sell their
books at the same prices at which they
are sold at the Bible House in New
York; and the board of managers judge,
that by making this discount of five per
cent. the parent society is no loser, in as
much as all the auxiliaries agree to pay
over to it, all the surplus funds which
come into their hands, after supplying
carefully and thoroughly their own fields
There is probably no christian and benev-
olent enterprise that presents as many
claims to the consideration of the benev-
oieut aud christian community.
The Depository of the Society is at
the Book Store Of II. Davis.

POINTS OF THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION.
According to the motion by which it was
created, the committee is instructed--as has
been specially notified 10 the HERALp-to
draw up the project Of law defining the
responsibilities of Ministers aud for regulating
the relations of the several powers of the
State, and it is expected that it will report
bill declaring that any Minister who shall be
censured must resign, and excluding the
President from debate in the Assembly but
granting to him, by way of compensation,
limited veto power
1t il also inferred from the political compo-
sition OF the committee that any proposition
for dissolution of the Assembly will be re-
jected, and that nothing more radical than
partial renewal Of the Parliamentary Cham
I,ar fxyo i1ya
to the American Senate. will be entertained.
CITIZEN APPREHENSION AND SOLEMN ADVICE.
The Bien Public says the complexion of the
committee makes the public situation all the
more precarious. While the Executive and the
Assembly are equally adverse to coup. the
county cannot tolerate the present state of
affairs 1t intimates that the French nation
should spontaneously intervene-which is in
terpreted TO mean that it should continue to
seud in petitions in support of NJ, Theirs and
MS government: ss;s;z..s
THE CABINET A UNIT.
President Theirs has resolved that there
shall be no change in the Ministry until the
report of the Committee of Thirty is pre-
sented.
Then, il the report is unfavorable to him,
he will oppose it in the Assembly.
M. THEIRS RECEPTION OF HIS rRrENDs.
An official reception was given at the Execu-
l. .-lL u
rously attended M. Thiers freely conversed
with his friends on the political crisis.
The President regretted that partial re-
newal Of the Assembly seemed impossible, and
declared he was determined to adhere to the
policy announced in his message
MORAL FORCE PLATFORM OF THE EXTREME LEFT.
At meeting of the Extreme Left to-day it
was decided not to move for the dissolution
of the Assembly until the question had been
thoroughly agitated by means of petitions.
The Steele started this idea aud it is rapidly
gaining ground. Petitions for the dissolution
are coming in from all parts of the country.
THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE LAW.
The Assembly Committee charged with the
consideration of the electoral law have decided
to recommend that the voting franchise be
given all males over twenty-five years of age
who have lived one year in the district in which
they vote, and that the duty of voting be
made compulsory.
