LEGAL ADVERTISING.

Colonel Kerr introduced bill in the
House the other day which should at
once enlist the active support of every
paper in the State. We hear OF the
power Of the press upon every possible
subject except the protection OF its own
pecuniary interests. Now let little OF
its power aud energy be concentrated to
secure the passage Of n bill to abolish
the unjust law regulating the prices
paid for legal advertisements. The law
originated before the days of steam
presses and daily papers, when vol
scalps were legal tender. The papers
are required to deAd-head the public
printing, or nearly so, as only a nominal
price can be charged, which has no refer
ence to the cost or value ofthe work done
Papers generally take what they can get,
as being a little better than nothing
So much charity work is done that ii
becomes habit, and the legal adver-
Using is put in like notices of church
fairs aud festivals for the benefit OF or
phan asylums, at less than the cost OF
setting up the type. The fault is not
with the clerks and officers of the courts
but in the old law, which comes down as
a relic from the days OF stage coaches
when corn was sold at fifteen cents a
bushel and pork at two cents pound.
There is no good reason why the State
should require the newspapers to dc
thousands and thousands of dollars Of
work every year for nothing. Where
legal advertising is necessary 1t should
be paid for the same as stationery, oil
blank books, or bridge, new court
house, or anything else ordered. We
trust our contemporaries, while sup
porting so many public enterprises, will
use little influence to place their own
interests on square business footing
The dead lad F" and the dead-head bus
mess is what keeps newspapers down
where they ought to prosper aud be
pecuniarily as Independent as the mer-
chant, the mechanic or any other thrifty
class. Newspapers often make and un'
make law makers, but in Tennessee, for
want of cooperation, submit to al
kinds of imposition without protest
Let them take care Of themselves first
and then they will be better able TO
take care of others who may need OF
dasarva nronninQ nm.

THE LEGIsLArURE.

The Bonneville Falcon Of this week
says:
The press and the people are begin
ming 10 censure the present Legislature
for what they term its inactivity and
lack Of enterprise. They say the ses-
sion is more than half passed and moth
ing has yet been done BY that august
body" We are not disposed TO JOIN in
this complaint against our lawmakers.
They have at least done nothing SO far
that will have q tendency 10 bring dis
repgte upon our State, and that is more
than can BE said Of more than halt the
Legislatures in tks Sonth. Their re-
sponsibilities have been very grave AID
L Is much easier tocriicise their actions
than 20 tel exactly What they ought 70
do. The great trouble Eith Tennessee
heretofore has been The super.abundance
Of legislation that has fallen 70 Der i0t.

WIN. L. soRUGos, Esq, editor of the
Atlanta Wing, has been appointed United
States Minister to the Republic of Col
umbia, with salary of seven thousand
five hundred dollars, and residence at
the city Of Bogota. Mr.. Scruggs is an
East Tennesseean, but has been South
many years. He edited the Columbus
Ga Sun during the war, but was never
a red hot rebel; on the contrary, was
rather too mildly Southern to meet the
views of the average Georgian. Since
the war be has been identified with the
moderate Republicans Of the South, and
has many personal friends, regardless OF
party, who will learn of his good fortune
with satisfaction.

LrrRRARY NOTICES.

EcLEcrIc MAGAZINE. - The March
number Of tho Eclectic presents Its
usual monthly table Of contents. which,
for variety, entertainment, aud perma-
nent value, is seldom equaled by any OF
its rivals. The object of the editor
seems to be to furnish the readers OF the
magazine with solid aud substantial
mental diet, aud at the same time to
combine the entertainment with II IN
such judicious proportions as to attract
all classes Of intelligent readers. Some
of the contents OF this number Rre'
"The Issues Raised by the Protestant
Synod of France" 1.-THE Disadvantages
of Living in Small Community; y
Hereditary improvement, by Francis
Cation; 1.-THE Children OF Lebanon; an

FosrER's LIFE OF CHARLES DICKENS
The second volume of this entertaining
biography, embracing a period from
1912 to 1852, the very meridian OF Mr..
Dickens life and career, has made its
appearance; published by j. b. Lippin-
colt. 1t contains nearly FIVE hundred
closely written pages on fine, thick
paper, and has a frontispiece of Dickens
taken when he was quite youthful; also
ether illustrations of his family, friends
and the characters of his creation. The
first volume was fayorably received on
both sides of the water, and was the
subject of much criticism by the press.
The second appears equally interesting
and is we'll worthy Of place in every
library.
GEO. P. RowELL & Co.'S GAZETTEER,
We have received copy of this Gazetteer
from the enterprising publishers and
find it compendium OF the latest and
most useful knowledge of towns, locali-
ties and sections in the United States
and Canadas where newspapers are pub
Iished. 1t is composed of the latest IN
telligence up to the year 1873 and will
be of great value to a certain class OF
large advertisers. We find that the
entire number of papers of all descrip-
tions published in Tennessee is one hun
dred and twenty.six. 1t contains much
valuable and curious information not to
be found elsewhere.
The ALDISE.-The March number OF
the Aldine is beautiful specimen OF
art, and will be received by the people
of letters and taste ss guarantee that
its projectors have made grand step
toward perfecting the profession they SC
worthily adorn.

THE HERALD COMMISSIONER I
ARREST.

With characteristic enterprise the
New York Herald sent commissioner
to Cuba not long since-one A. B.
Henderson-to ascertain the exact
condition of affairs there, and to re-
port the truth as to the pending in
surrection. The report of Hender-
son, though interesting, was unsatis-
factory, aud James J. O'Kelly, the
present commissioner, was sent to
encounter greater risks, for the pur-
pose of making more thorough in
.vestigaticn. O|Kelley penetrated
into the lines of the insurgents, and
upon his return to the Spanish terri
tory has been seized as spy, and is
being tried by Court Marital. Loc-
uments are alledged to have been
found on his person which compro-
mise his character and his situation
seems to be one of extreme peril.
We do not see very clearly, how if
the Herald commissioner has been
true to the objects of his mission, he
can be found guilty as spy. His
purpose was in the interests of a
great public journal, to learn the
truth, and to publish it, without re-
gard to the interests of either party.
And the neutral character of the
seems to have been
recognized by Ceballos, the Captain
General, himself: But with the fate
IF Crittenden and Maximillian before
rs we have little to hope from Span
sh justice. .... ..<

COMMENCEMENT OF A NEW
VOLUME. .:..

With the present week we com.
mence the 21st volume of our paper
not yet having attained our majority
humanity considered, but having long
since passed the usual homage Of
country journals. Though not yet
an antique, we can still boast of
pretty good old age, and somewhat
varied experience. We think that
we can congratulate ourselves upo'
still retaing something of youthful
vigor, and at least of feeling none Of
the iu6rmaties of age-and in our
varied experience Of having enjoyed
a larger measure of the sweets
than the bitters of journalistic life.
To our staunch friends whose name
is legion, and to whose good wishes
and kind offices we are so much in
debted, we tender our best thonks,
and will endeavor to signify our ap-
probation, and sincere acknowledge
ments, by renewed efforts to please
in the future. To one and all we
extend our best wishes and kindest
greetings.

MEETING OF PREsBYTERY OF SoUru
CARoL1NA.-We learn from the Rev.
VIM. II Davis, who was in attend
ance, that this influential body of the
Presbyterian Church met at. Clinton,
Laurens County, on Wednesday last,
and after a harmonious meeting ud-
journed on Saturday, to meet again
at the Upper Long Cane Church, on
the Thursday before tho first Sabbath
Of May next. The Rev. R. A. Fair
was elected Moderator, and tho Rev.
Mr.. Mickle, of Newberry, Clerk.
Among other business done was
the unanimous ele ,tion Of the ReR R.
A. Fair as Evangelist. to minister
within the bounds of the Presbytery
"a handsome testimonial to the zeal
and ability of this earnest and sue
cessful minister of the gospel. Mr.
Fair has not yet decided to accept.
The Rev. J. O. Lindsay, of the
Upper Long Cane Church, rendered
bis resignation of his pastoral charge,
but Presbytery deferred any action
on the subject until the meeting next
month.
