Four of the above are county officials. and

Lecturer, ali prominent men, and say that
they each feel that much depends on the
energy thrown into Ike canvass by The
CLARION, whether we are successful or noJ,
in the coming election, and believing that
you are III every way alive to the i'll
pJrtant issues and our great necessities,
bid you God speed. We, OF East Mis>is-
>ippi, sometimes feel that our claims
are sometimes ignored, but when grand
rally Is to be made we are not going To be
found idle under any circumstances.
| thank you most kindly for the notice
you made of the names l sent you last
week, and l assure you my only regret
was that hadn't one hundred to send YOU
instead of three.
The electric fire of THE CLARION, in the
home stretch of last years race, shot
through the hearts of our people and they
resolved to win or die, and tie rae aoaS
ICON.
Others did great deal, but you were in a
position to do So much more, and SO much
mere room to WELD the sIedge hammer, that
your friends say mphatically that | am
right when | say mo effort should be
spared to extend the circulation of your

This is intended only for your eyes, and
not for the public, and only to show you
how we out here feel toward you. 1.-THE PEG

All want your paper. Don't under any
circumstances publish my letter, as it was
not written with any eye to it. Ii, how

here for you intend to do it.
Your friend,

The evil Fruits OF weak digestion

VIZ :
There is no pathological fact more clearly
ascertained than that the most formidable
phases of nervous disease are traceable to
imperfect digestion. Insomnia, with its
train of direful consequences, proceeds more
frequently from weakness of the Stomach
tina from any other cause. Mere sedatives
are powerless to cure nervousness and soon
cease to palliate its symptoms. The true
way to strengthen the nervous system is to
invigorate the digestive ard assimllative
organs. upon whose unObstructed action
its equilibrium is absolutely dependent.
The daily use of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will do more TO brace and soothe the
weakened and irritated nerves and INDUCE
sound, refreshing sleap-nature's grand
cathOlicon- than@all the SO calle nervint ;
to be found in the pharmacopGa or out OF
it. A wine-glassful of the Bitters should
be taken before each meal.

Since the publication of the foregoing in
the Mercury, | find that Art. 20, of the Re-
Vised Code of 1871, which is not affected
by the present law, allows one dollar for
making proof of publication, which, with
the magistrates fee of fifty cents. should be
added to each bill for legal advertising.
This advertisement therefore, would amount
to 81 IS, instead of Sc Sc. The Code of
1857 allowed only so cents for making
proof, 25 cents to the magistrate for afida-
Wit, and Is cents for making examinations
as to the publications. J. L. 2.

And, on reference to THE CLARIoN's
/ schedule of rates, / find that the space oc-
cupied by this trustees sale, is worth, four
weeks, the sum of SO 90; but if deduct
+ the IS per cent. usually allowed advertising
| agents, or to good cash advertisers, it will
amount to only SO 49, and | venture to say
there are very few publishers in this State
who would refuse a three square advertise
ment for that compensation. | have this
moment estimated the cost of a six
| inch commissioners sale, for six weeks,
and it amounts, under the present law,
/ to ST 20, which is not by any means
starvation price. l may add that the
Legislature also prescribed the rates for
advertising by the Public Printer, re-
ducing it to sixty cents per square for first
Insertion, and forty cents for each subSe-
quent insertion, so that a trustees sale, as
above, which pays So Sc to the press gener-
ally, pays the Public Printer only So 40
The compensation is not sufficient, but the
Legislature was in retrenching mood, and
it does not become the press to demand re-
trenchment in every interest but its own, or
to assail members of the Legislature who
are serving the people upon their honor and
upon their oath, and who, for the general
result of their labors, deserve applause rather
than censure. | believe that the next Leg
islature which will have more time to de-
Gberate upon this and other questions, will
amend the laws SO to restore the compen-
sation allowed in 1857, and which is the
rate now allowed in Ohio and other Western
States, where the cheap-for-cash principle
is applied to newspapers as well as to
every other department of business. 1t can
not be denied that the irregular, but uni
formly high rates charged by the press for
legal advertisements, has been the cause of
complaint by administrators, attorneys,
and others; and to the fact that a majority
of the Senators are members ofthe legal pro-
fession may be attributed their determine
ton to fix rate at which their clients at
least could not justly complain.
| have thus endeavored to present the
history of the present advertising law. In
the effort to secure equitable rates, l had,
with every other publisher in the State,
personal interest, and had hoped that if my
efforts were not entirely successful that the
result would be generally accepted in that
spirit of compromise which marked the &C
tion of those publishers who were members
Of the Legislature Senators FeWell, Nor
gan and others became fully possessed of the
opinion that the rates suggested by you,
and at first assented to by me, were right
and just, and, so far as | could see and
judge, they were moved by a conscientious
resolve to discharge their duty to the press
and the people.
