CONGRESS ASKED TO PROTECT RIGHTS IN FLAfe ia
NEW LAW.
A bill of importance and interest to authors
particularly those gagged dramatic compositions has
lately been introduced IN Congress, and It's passage Is
pected without serious opposition. 1t was drawn by
e1udge A. j. Dittenhoefer, and grew out of his expert
ence OF the inadeQuacy Of existing laws TO pro'ec'
authors and managers in their rights while pursuing
travelling companies who hal infringed on SHOOK ~
Palmers rights Ia the play OF the 1.-TWO Orphans IL
found that injunctions against Inc Tres
passers were Obtained in circuit they were at liberty
90 10 tie next adjoining circuit and there perform inc
play without restriction, except by new injunction
The object Of the fret three clauses OF the bill is to make
an Injunction obtained In Circuit Court Of the United
States operative to restrain In all crcnits Of the country
Messrs Shook Palmer also discovered, after paying
French authors large for manuscripts that the SUD
seIuent publication of the plays in France deprived them
Of their exclusive rights in country The fourth and
last clause is intended 10 remedy tis Judge Dltteh
hoefer in an argument in favor Of the bill (Which he calls
IAN act to natonalize the process Of the National
Courts ~ speaks as follows regarding the last clause
An author, at common law, has an absolute rght OF

THE COMING BANKRPTCY.

Under the banking act OF June 20, 1874,
green backs to the amount Of e6, 304 ,OOO were
last month deposited with the Treasurer Of the
United States for redemption Of the circulation
of national banks which desire to withdraw
their notes and realize upon their bonds. 1t is
estimated by Treasurer New that the contract
ion Of national bank currency under this act
during the remaining nine months OF the year
will amount to $780, 600. Comptroller
Knox estimates, however, that the contraction
will not exceed $bo 900, 900. At the highest
estimate the same rate OF contraction, continued
through 1877 and 1873, would leave not dol
lar Of bank note circulation to be affected by
the Congressional promise Of last year that
specie payments shall be resumed January list,
lS79.-St. Poul DispGtch.
Ho! ho! Are you coming to your
senses? 1.-THE currency is to be contract
ed nearly tour hundred millions in four
wears where in Gods name will the pros.
perity Of the country be? Where will
the farmers be who owe mortgages on
their farms? Where will the poor man
be who depends upon his daily wages
for his daily bread One universal
bankruptcy will swallow them all.
And where will the newspapers be

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

1t is reported, on good authority, that
the Pioneer-Press has bought up the
Minneapolis Tribune and is to discon
t!nue it that it has also bought up The
Evening Mail and that David Blakely is
to run #. 1t will be surprising if the am
bilious city OF Minneapolis. is content to
accept its morning news and its political
opinions from its great rival.
In St. Paul the Dispatch has been, or
is to be, sold out, and Mr.. Hall is to start
morning Democratic paper. with L. Z
Fisher as editor. while the Dispatch, un-
der new name, is to become straight
Republican Journal! The new Demo-
cratic paper will probably advocate hard
money aud the fossiliferous doctrines of
the year one.
But the Pioncer-Press? What will
that be? 1t will represent those obscure
forms Of primal lie where both sexes
were embraced in the same system, and
the process of procreation was slow and
difficult. twill be like the stuff that
fell the other day in Kentucky, neither
fish, Aes, nor good red-herring, but a
kind of ill-smelling, unorganized prot
oplasm, democratic at one end. and re-
publican lat the other end, united by
government contracts.
