LEGAL ADVERTISING.

Sheriff salcg, administrators sales,
administrators notices of appointment
and sale, commissioners sales of real
estate, list of delinquent taxes, les Of
estrays, notices of elections, are mat
tiers of too much public, private and
legal Importance to be trified with.
Such notices scrawled eligibly and
stuck up on court house door, expos
ed to the weather, or in some dark
place where they cannot be read, do
not amount to publication. The thing
is simply farce. 1t muy be law, but
it is neither justice nor right. AS II
convenient pretcnse, it may suit par
ties partially interested, but it is not
fair to ull interested.
Sometimes valuable interests are
sacrificed or justice is defeated for the
lack Of proper publicity being given to
these sales, notices, etc. This is an
abuse the legislature must correct. The
law cannot be made to work for the
advantage of one party to sale. The
party whose property is sold must also
be protected in his rights, and if sutli-
Gent and ample publicity is not given
by the best means, through the press,
the door is left open for fraud and
sharp practice. All legal matters re-
curing publication should be published
by the press, not scrawled up in hand
writings nobody can read and which
rarely reach the public at all.

The Attitude OrCougreSs.
INew York TribuneJ

Congress has not yet developed any
thing new OF strange in the political
situation, and certainly has not fore
shadowcd anything of the purposes of
either party. The general remark as
the mem beers began to come together
in Washington last eek, was that the
gentlemen who have carried things
with so high hand for several years
past did not seem so "chipper AS for
merly. 1t was also remarked that the
mcmbers of the opposing party, who
after so long Il period of repression
might be expected to show some
signs of citation at the change which
the late elections had effected in their
position, were not especially
eXultant, though they seemed to enjoy
in a thoughtful way large and perva-
sive sense Of restrlluess and content.
On both sides there appeared to be u
disposition to be behave as well as they
could, look as pretty as possible, and
wait the turn OF events. The serious
ness with which the republicans began
business ON the first day OF the session
with the reports OF the committee on
appropriations, showed that the party
in puWer was determined to begin well
AT least, and that il had learned one les
son from the elections. The quiet
behavior of the democrats showed
that they, too, were conscious of being
looked at, and somewhat careful how
they behaved under the scrutiny. There
has been no disposition manifested on
their part to boast OF their victory or
threaten what they will do when they
come into the enjoyment of its fruits.

THE Michigan state board of health
has issued a pamphlet on the danger to
life from the use of arsenical wall paper.
A number of frightful examples of
prolonged disease are cited, and the
cause of manifold complaints explain
ed. Instances of absorption are given
where the dust from the walls contain
mated and diseased the lungs and gen.
eral system. Among the symptoms of
wall poisoning given are constant
cough, loss of flesh, depression of spir-
its, and general failing of the vital
powers. Toned paper is particularly
poisonous and dangerous. The method
of testing the presence of poison in
wall paper is simple. The green ar
senical colOrs are readily soluble in
ammonia water. If little ammonia
water poured on the paper discharges
the green color, or produces such a
change in the color as indicates the re-
moval of the green, the paper should
be rejected, as it probably contains ar
senio. To identify the presence of ar
senic in any paper, wet the paper with
ammonia water, pour off this water on
a clean piece of glass, and drop into
this crystal of nitrate of silver or
small piece of lunar caustic. If yell
low precipitate forms around the crys-
tai, it indicates the presence of ar
senic.

THE sMEnIFFs' CONVENTION.

On the 18th instant the sheriffs of a
number of counties held a convention
in Austin to discuss the best means of
securing Il better enforcement of law,
and to suggest such legislation as will
best protect society from the dangerous
classes. The length of their address
will not admit of its reproduction here.
There can be no doubt but that con-
cert of action, an interchange ofviews,
Il prompt cooperation of citizens, the ju-
dicious use of the telegraph and the safe
keeping ofpris0ners, which will prevent
the Undertaking business from going
on any longer, are not only desirable
but necessary considerations. The
time has come when Texas must no
longer be used as hiding place for
desperate men and outlaws. They
must be made to feel that they will
certainly come within reach of the
law if they venture here. AS for the
home rut1ians, murderers, thieves,
and adventures, the situation must be
made so interesting to them and the
inducements held out to them to leave
SO great, that the crop can be easily
garnered into the prison house at
Huntsville Or disposed of by the legal
gallows.

WE are assured by those who have
investigated the subject that there is a
clear saving of five cents hundred by
shipping cotton from Dallas to Deni-
son, and having it compressed here for
the New York market. The freight
from Dallas to New York, on COM
pressed cotton, is one dollar and sixty
cents; from Dallas to Denison, on UNI
compressed cotton, fifty cents a hun
bred, and from Denison to New York,
after comprising, one dollar and five
cents. Twenty-Five cents Il bale is
worth saving, as some of the Dallas
commission merchants have discover
ed, and they are now sending cotton to
the North Texas compress instead of
having it compressed at home.
We clip the above from the Denison
News, and are authorized by one who
knows to explain that the News is mis-
informed as to the compressed rate
from Denison to New York, it being
one dollar and twenty cents per hun
dred pounds instead Of one dollar and
five cents. Further, from the Denison
press the fifty cents per bale, compress
fee, follows the cotton to New York, as
a charge, making the rate really from
Denison to New York one dollar and
thirty cents per hundred pounds; add
the freight from Dallas to Denison,
forty cents per hundred pounds, and
we have a total of one dollar and sew
enty cents per hundred from Dallas,
via the Denison compress, to New
York, against one dollar and sixty
cents from Dallas direct. Instead of
saving five cents per hundred by ship
ping to the Denison compress, the
Dallas man saves ten cents per hun
dred, or fifty cents per bale, Ivy having
bis cotton compressed at Dallas.

DAY before yesterday morninga fam
lily of ten emigrants, principally women
and children, arrived here by the Tex
as and Pacific train from South Carolina
in very destitute condition, without
food or money. They tried to get in
at many places, but nobody would pity
them or take them in. They We're on
ly "a few more poor enligrants." There
they would have had to stay all night
had not poor kind-hearted girl named
Miss Nellie Collins, who belongs to the
varieties, seen them and taken COM
passion upon the strangers. She not
only gave up her humble little room to
the party, but procured them food and
provided for them to the extent of her
scanty means until morning, when
their case was brought to the attention
of the mayor and Dr. Cornelius, who
provided them with q small house, and
sent them provisions. "The rarity of
christian charity" was never so forcibly
exemplified, than the heartless manner
in which these emigrants were treated
by those who ought to have thrown
their doors wide open to them.
1t was left to a poor variety girl to
put them to shame by her thoughtful
kindness and consideration, and all
honor to the brave and generous heart
that can, amidst its own poverty and
misery, feel for those who art" strangers
in strange land" and blessed be the
woman's hand stretched forth in wo-
manly sympathy. Surely the record
ing angel must yesterday have dropped
a tear upon Nellie Collins account
in the Great Book, which washed out
all registered there against her. She s
only poor variety girl, but she, alone
of the thousands here, was first to ex-
tend helping hand. God bless Nellie
Collins, the first member of the How
ard association, self-constituted and
elected, a sister of charity, disguised
as variety girl, going about "doing-
good by stealth, and blushing to find it
fame"

The New Yorl; Tribune says there is
a striking similarity between affairs AT
Vicksburg and recent events ut New
Orleans. In each case the root of the
trouble was the system Of governing u
southern state from Washington. Par
tisan mismanagemcnt and official cor
ruption at last cNasper&ted tie citizens
beyond endurance. But in the Missis-
sippi case the negroes took the inta-
tive in the resort to violence. Beyond
this, the parallel holds again; the gov
ernor Of the state sustains the oppose
ton to the will of the citizens.
