Two of the dashing women lobbyists of
Washington are Mrs Gen. Benton-a
widder, Sam;vel-and Mrs. Gen. Roddy.
The first was reported mixed up in the
French arms contract, which accounts for
how she is huddled up with Belknap in
this Pendleton case. Mrs. Roddy is the
same who was arrested recently in New
York for the curious possession of some
small articles of personal luxury. Mrs.
Cole is another lobby celebrity and is
said to have been associated with Mrs.
Benton nee Minnie White in furnishing
information to Ben. Butler in the Pen

as a flank movement to Babcockery and

This was an action against the corporate

Judgment for the defendant. Held:

ruIe is not liable for the Unauthorized and
illegal acts of its officers, it must further
appear, that they were expressly authori-

to which they relate; or that in either case
the act was adopted and ratified by the cor

In view of this rule on the whole case the
judgment was right. Affirmed.

The Rates for Legal Advertising.

The House, on yesterday, passed the
Senate bill prescribing the rates for legal
advertising in the newspapers Of this
State, with an amendment making the
rate of compensation one-and-a-half cents
per word for first insertion, and three
tourths of cent per word for each addi-
tiOnal insertion. This is fraction less
than the rate fixed in 1858, which was
one dollar per square for first insertion,
and fifty cents per square for each addi-
tional insertion, but with this in favor of
the pending bill, that the attorney,
the administrator, or other party order
ing such publication, can determine in
advance the precise cost of the advertise
nent. If each publisher used the same
size type for legal advertisements, and if
the columns of all newspapers were the
same in width, then the compensation
might be determined by the "square"
BY way OF illustrating the operation of
the law of 1858, we will call attention to
a Trustees Sale in this issue, signed j.
b. Abou. This advertisement makes
three squares, or three inches. The first
insertion would be So 90; three addi-
tional insertions 81 80; total cost 81 80.
The same advertisement makes 1874
words. The first insertion will cost
50 rs; three additional insertions, $4 IA :;
total cost, s6 80. This is less than the
rate charged by most journals for ordinary
advertising; and besides, large per cent,
of what is termed legal advertising, has
not been paid for, owing to the delay and
uncertainty in the determination of cases.
Publishers would only be just to them
selves were they to require payment for
legal advertisements when publications
are ordered. The Act of 1875 fixed the
price of legal advertising at sixty cents
per square for first insertion, and thirty
cents for each additional insertion, but the
official papers of the Judicial Districts
that enjoyed a monopoly of this kind of
business made the cost to the advertiser
more than dollar square, by publishing
legal notices in long primer or small plea
type, and in many instances disregarded
the rates fixed by law, and charged as
each saw proper. If publishers space
is valuable, he can, under the bill pro-
posed, print legal advertisements in small
type, but if he wants matter merely to
fill out his columns, he can print them in
plea or great primer, the cost to the ad-
vertiser being always the same-so much
per word. The rate proposed by the
House amendment is just and equitable
to the advertiser and publisher, and
will, if adopted, secure uniformity in
charges for legal notices.
1t is so seldom that we discuss matters
relating to our own business, and that of
our brethren of the press, we trust we
will be pardoned for devoting this much
space to subject upon which light seems
to be desired.
