LEGAL Advertlsing

The Memphis appeal, AUaLaache and
Public Ledger have taken a sensible view
Of the legal advertising business, as will
be seen from the following standing no
tee which appears in each of these jour
mails
From and after this date, we will charge
ten cents per line for the first insertion
and five cents per line for each sHbse~
quent insertion of all legal advertise
ments, except such as may be inserted
for thirty days or longer eonsecutively,
which will be charged at card rate, by
the square, counting eight lines nonpa-
reii solid co the square. The printers

Commenting on the above, the Nash>
Vile Usjon and 4merican saws:
This Is not only good sense. but is an
exhibition of that Independence that
s'ould always characterize the press in
its editorial columns. Our law makers of
the past assumed to prescribe the rates
without regard to cn>t, which litigants
! should pay tor court notices in the papers.
! The Laws OF this subject from the begin,
/ ming were never supported by reason,
and those nav IN force were passed from
! fl teen to twen'y five years ago. and are
| inappicAble to the present condition of
! business.
Lagis 'atnres may pass laws upon this
subject, hut they cannot compel any cit
zen in the newspaper business t. accept
and print advertisements for anv SUM
| other than tie citizen himself is willing
I to accept If the law requires a notice
to be published in a Memphis newspaper,
the Clerk may comply, as far as he can,
by sending the notice to one Of those
papers, but neither be nor any other
| power can compel this newspaper to re-
ceive aud print it. The example set by
these leading papers of Memphis should
be followed by every newspaper in the
State. No paper should accept or per-
form services for litigants at less than
they exact from others. Our present leg
| islature should repeal the laws upon this
subject entirely, and leave the publica
ton of legal notices to the same laws Of
trade that all other advertising is sub
jected 10. We believe that Senator Bran
don has bill now before the Assembly
to that effect Let it pass at once other
wise the example Of the Memphis papers
will be followed very generally by the
press Of the State, and litigants in all
cases where publication is required as a
prerequisite to Judgment, will be denied
their remedies at law, or the law prices ia
publishers will be better, as they now
are, we are glad to say, in Memphis.

The AsheviIle IN @ Pioneer having
stated that quite a formidable movement
has been for some time on hand among
the people of East Tennessee to form a
new State embracing likewise the Dor
der counties In North Carolina,) the
Nashville Banner says its North Carolina
contempor airy is little mistaken about
the size Of the movement in East I, mes
see, and that the question has been at a
comparative standstill for some time.
The Banner objects to letting Fest Ten
nessee lose its share of tn t blessing in

new State question, it cries. NO, no,
we can't spare East Tennessee now or
ever we had rather take in the whole OF

A New York letter says: "a singular
discovery was made last week that a
young physician, recently from Scot land,
who had gained quite practice among
the ladies from his acknowledged ability,
was a female in male attire. Thor
oughly educated and undeniably comps
tent to assume charge of diseases of wo-
men and children, the doctor confessed
that she had experienced so much pref u
dice on the part of her own sex as tc
suggest the assumption of masculine
carb in order co attain celebrity in heI
profession For a time she avaded de
lection, bat her secret being betrayed,
she has suddenly quilted the city, vel
aware that her somewhat extensive prac
tice would disappear as soon as her veri
table sex became publicly known.

The people of Beaver county, Penn>
sylvania, object to the Chinese laborers
who have recently been brought to their
district and propose to memorialize Con
gress for the passage of a law prohibiting
the further importation of Cinnamon
under contracts made in China. 1t is
difficult to see what reasonable objection
tho Pennsylvanians can make to the
hard working and inoffensive Mongolians.
The Cinnamon ought to know, and If they
do not know they can easily be told, that
contracts made in China are valid here
only so far as they choose to keep them.
If the Cinnamon can do as much work as
the lighter. complexioned people OF
Beaver county, they will soon learn to
demand as much pay. TIE CelestiIls
have already demonstrated that they can
strike when they feel like it The Penn
sylsanians will soon learn, like the Cali>
fornians, that there is but little 20 be
feared from Chinese imm grafton.

The GOVERNMENT EXPLAINS The
Secretary of the Interior, in reply to a
resolution of the House of Representa-,

the Modoc Indians in Oregon arise from
the armed resistance of certain members
of the tribe (under the leadership of Capt.
JLck) to an effort on the part of the Gov
eminent to locate them Oh the reserva-
ton assigned for their use by the treaty
concluded with them on the 18th of Oc-
tuber, 1854 The Superintendent of In.

The old theory that man and wife are
one has, says an exchange, been exploded
in California. A new law in that State
establishes the equality of husband and
wife, and declares that the two can con-
tract with each other and sue each other
the same as if they had never been mar
ried. 1t is to be feared that this reform
will hardly meet the expectation of its
orIginators. Lawsuits after marriage,
with husband and vito respectively in
the positions of plaintiff and defendant
would not seem to be calculated to pro-
mote domestic felicity.
