LEGAL ADVERTISING.

II has occurred In The experience Of al
most every one-an experience kept
bright By daily observation, that property
IL sold for far less than It's value. that sales
are made and titles passed for property
worth, of;entimes tenfnld the price it
brought, and this, too, when the transac-
tion was perfectly legal, and when all the
forms Of the law had been complied with!
Why was this so. Because such sales!
though nominally public and advertised
as the present laws now requires, are in
reality private, without the stinauIus of
competitions, anu bringing just such
prices as suits the convenience of the few
bidders present. Estltes are defrauded,
debtors fail to be relieved by the sacrifice
OF their property. and few watchful men
absorb the property of couuty at merely
nominal rates.
Itis injustice to this class Of cases that
the law is proposed to apply 1t proposes
10 require all such notices OF sales, Sc; as
are now required to be advertised by man
uscript notices, to be printed in some
newspaper published in the county In
which the sale.or 0ther transaction is to
be made. Where there Is no paper
published, the present mode may still OBJ
tam. The cost Of publication Is not to ex-
coed the regular charges Of advertising.
There Is really no additional exponse
incurred, for the increase in value given
by publicity will vastly more than cons
pensate for the charges Of advertising.
This is the opinion Of many lawyers,
sheriffs, clerks of courts and Others whose
experience Is large and whose opinion
should be heeded.-News.

THE pREss AND GRANTS ARKAN-

From the strong condemnation Of the
press il is evident that the Bayonet Pro-
gramme, as applied to reconstructed and
peaceful Arkansas; does no, meet with ap-
proval. Usually we do not place press
comments 10 this part OF the paper. We
do 80 to-day because Of the transcendent

The above figures tell their own story,
which is,that of the total expenditures of the
year, S157 ,292, ,416.S1, or "a per cent. of the
whole, is directly chargeable to the war, for
which many of the present leaders of the Dem
ocratic party in Maine are as responsible as any
men can be who did not actually bear arms
against the nations cause. We are aware
that the leaders of the Democracy lose their
temper when their attention is called to the
part they played in the days of 1865, but
so long as they attempt to foist their share
of the responsibility in the present taxation
of the country upon the Republicans, they
must not complain when their page of infa-
nous history is rected to them.
We shall not undertake to defend all the
expenditures of this or any other admins
tration. Less money might be expended ON
public buildings, Notifications ETC.. but no
one who has any knowledge of the instincts
of the Democratic party is SO silly as to be-
lieve that Democratic congress and
Democratic administration would cut
down the public expenditures. No one be-
lieves that Democratic congress and
Democratic administration would reduce the
army of ofice-holders in this country. In
deed, the securing of these places for them
selves is the only platform upon which that
incongruous mass of outs called the Demo-
cratic party can heartily unite. On that
point, for more than twelve years they have
been determined unit.

We repeat it: The conduc. of men during
the war for National unity has everything to
do with their fitness for position. We may
excuse the man who cast in his lot with the
South, being moved thereto by the accidents

who stood uD in communities where LOYALTY
was the rule, and denyed his country-for
that man there is only tolerance. There is
no forgiveness for him. He was false then
