Baptist state convention.

This body will hold its annual meeting in
Jackson commencing on Thursday, June
29th, and we have reason to believe, from
the number of mportant enterprises set on
foot at its meeting in HaZlehurs last year,
and upon which reports are expected at the
approaching meeting, that it will be the
most numerously attended Convention that
has yet been held in this State. There
will be several hundred persons in atten-
dance, and the members OF the different
congregations, and our citizens generally,
will have an opportunity of extending to
the delegates, and such ladies as may &C
pany them, that hospitality which will
make them feel that they did wisely in Sc
lecting Jackson for the holding of their
Centennial session. The Committee of Ar
rangements on behalf of the Baptist Church
consists of Rev. DR.. Zealey, L. II Bennett,
John 7. Buck, Mrs. Ella Buck, Mrs. Alice
Hilzheim Mrs. VIM II. Allen, either of whom
would be glad to be informed of the names
of citizens who are willing to entertain del
6G9tes. We also volunteer to keep regis
ter at this Office, which will be reported to
the Committee from Dag TO day. The Com
mittee. we trust, will be able to send out
word by next week, that all who come will
be provided for.

At the September term, 1874. of the De
Soto Circuit Court, colored man named
King Henderson was convicted, under sec
ton 1924, of the Revised Code, of "prowling
in mask and disguise" and sentenced to the
penitentiary tor five years. On the Goth OF
May he was pardoned by his Excellency,
Gov. Stone. The pardon was recon IN ended
by Hons. j. B. Morgan and Samuel Powell
by the Sheriff and Chancery Clerk, and by
many other citizens of DeSoto county,
without regard to party or color.
King is a colored man about 20 years old,
and of excellent reputation. His off:nse
consisted in heading half dozen or so col
ored men, who decoyed from his bed col
ored man who, under pretense of holding a
revival meeting, was guilty of infamous
crimes in his neighborhood. The man was
logged and made to leave the county.
King was disguised by having flour or
meal on his face, and what would have been
otherwise simple assault and battery, was
made an offense under the section of the
Code mentioned.

THE RATES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING
A Subject Of Iaaeresr a. the Pre- :
and the People.
Jackson, Miss, MAY 81. 1876.

Jackson, Miss, May 81, 1876
Co.. 4. g. Horn, Ed. Mercury:
DEAR SIR: NJ office duties have been
such OF late that | am denied the time and
pleasure of reading our State EXCHANGES
and hence am not familiar with tht. merits
| OF the discussion that has been going on with
reference to the law regulating legal adver-
! tlsing, passed by the last Legislature. Your
/ paper of this mornings date has been shown
me, and 1 judge from your article on the
subject, that an expression, or explanation
from me would be in order. ! shall be as
| orlef and explicit as possible and will GER
taInly not seek to increase the bitterness of
feeling which this matter has unfortunately
evoked.
The session of the Press Convention. to
which you refer, left this whole matter of
legal advertising to the wisdom and fairness
OF the Legislature suggesting merely, that
publishers should be allowed TO charge for
legal advertisements the same rates charged
other adyertlsers-no more, no less but
committee was appointed with which any
committee Oft Legislature might confer. if
1t saw proper to do 50. / had the honor of
being Chairman of the Press Convention
Committee, and respected strictly the reso-
luton of the Convention not to offer sug-
gestions, but held myself ready to give ad-
vice, if asked. The Legislature very
promptly repealed the District Printing
Law, but action III reference to the matter
OF legal advertising was delayed. The bill,
l believe, was first introduced in the Senate.
and referred to the Printing Committee,
but that Committee reported it back and
recommended that it be referred to the
Judiciary Committee. On the Printing
Committee there was only one Senator
(Judge Johnston) who was familiar with the
printing business, and his views conceded
with those of the Press Convention, to-wit
that publishers should charge according to
their established rates, making no discrim-
nation for or against legal advertising On
the Judiciary Committee, there was no
Senator familiar with the subject, and it |
was in this attitude of the question that |
Senator Morgan, of the Committee, sought |
me for information, which | cheerfully and |
promptly gave him. The Legislature having |
always assumed the right To prescribe the |
rates for legal advertising | have long de- |
sired that the mode of determining the cost |
of a given number of words should be uni |
form throughout the State. Hence | sug- /
gested to Senator Morgan the propriety of
defining by law what should constitute |
printers square, and then to re-enact the rates /
fixed in 1857, to-wit: one dollar per square I
for the first insertion, and fifty cents per /
square for each additional insertion, and IL |
Illustrated my views by counting the number |
of squares and the number Of words in the /
following advertisement, which appeared in /
THE CLARION a short time previous:
