this speech is worth all that such
editors could write-ou politics-in

see how a statesman talks.
The " Patent Outside" Business.
As quite o number of journals in
our State have what are technally
called "patent outsides.' the fol-
lowing article is we'll worthy their
perusal:
What is known among newspaper
men as "patent Outsitles is where
the first, or outside of newspa-
per, is printed at some printing
house in Milwaukee, or else where,
and sold to country publishers, who
print the insitles and mail them to
their subscribers. 1t has long been
q moOted question whether legal
notices could be properly advertis-
ed in such papers. A decision has
recently been made By which pub
LEGATIONS of this character are effect
ually ruled out. The Hancock (Pa.)
Conservative, one of the class re-
ferred to, says:
The court of this county yester-
day decided that advertisements re-
Quired by law to be published in
newspapers printed and published in
the county, were not published &C
cording to law when inserted I'm a
paper, one half of which was pub
lished out of the State.
The Conservative, accepting the
situation, says:
This decision will compel Us to
quit the "patent plan" or else lose
. large port of the country print
ing, and We have determined on the
former, and next week our paper
will be edited, printed and published
at home.
We clip the above from a MISSISSIPPI
pi exchange, the editor of Which We
have heretofore thought possessed
. good degree of intelligence, but if
he published the above in good faith,
giving to it any credence and sup
posing bis intelligent readers would
do the same, he is ninny-hanmer
Of "the first water'-s'of purest ray
serene" We consider it q foul
SANDER upon the judiciary of the
grand old State of Pennsylvania
the "Keystone of the arch" of our
Union-to suppose that there is a
man on the bench within her borders
% assinine as to render such decis-
ion as is stated in the above.
A newspaper, the outside of which
is printed in Philadelphia, for in
stance, and dated 'Canton. Miss, y
expressed to Canton, and the inside
here printed and circulated, is, in
fact and III truth, in law and equity,
in reason and common sense, a
newspaper "priated and pnblished''
in Canton, Miss, just AS much as il
every type of 1t was set up, and
every sheet of it printed on both
sides IN Canton. Any other view OF
the case is 20 absurd. SO preposter-
Gus, as to excite only the ridicule OF
sensible men; and yet we are grave
" told that q Pennsylvania Judge
has decided to The contrary, and
editors in Mississippi who claim to
have brains cut cut and print such
stuff with approbatory comments!
A newspaper is not 'pubiished,'
until it is sent forth to the world
A newspaper is not required. by
law, to be ssprinted7 on both sides
If it is printed on one side only
and circulated, it is "newspapeI
printed and published" in law and in
fact. There is NO law in any State
that says a newspaper shall be
printed on both sides, or that it shall
be printed in any particular way
Will any sane man say, then, that
the fact that the paper is printed or
one side in Pennsylvania, (but moi
"pubIished') before it receives tht
impression on the other side, here il
Canton, renders it a paper not''print
ed and published" in the State o
Mississippi There can be but on'
answer: and SO we dismiss the sub
ject-at least until some man of sens
cOntrOverts our view.
AMEs.-Ir is quite probable tina
the curious public will soon know
