FINHE design of this work which has been

gentlemen not Learned in the Jaw above their

WON when they assume the responsible and
then important office of Justice of the Peace
Under the present Constitution of Mississip-
pi, the jurisdiction of Justices Of the Peace in
civil Suits is raised 10 one hundred and ffty
dollars, and in all criminal matters their Iu-
rlsdlctlon IS concurrent with that of the Cir
cult Courts IN all cases where the punishment
prescribed by the laws does not extend beyond
a hne and Imprisonment in the county Jail
The ONCE IS certainly one of great dignity and
the main design of this work is to be of some
assistance to the unlearned Justice of the
Peace by placing the Law relating 10 his juris-
dIctlon before him in compact form with forms
ana pree edents, covering almost, if not every
case, which can come before him. Notes are
added TO many of the forms for the guidance

thereby TO explain the law and use of the form
so that none, however ignorant of the law
generally, can go far wrong.

TIE POSTAL CARD BIDS.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Post
master General decided to open no
bids to-day for the manufacture of
postal cards He has discovered with
in the last day or two that a combina-
tion has apparently been formed. hav-
ing connections somewhere in the
Post Office Department. for securing
this contract to certain persons who
alone ale preparing to execute it.
The method adopted was described
in dispatch to the Tribune two DAYS
ago. In selecting the sample to be
furnished to bidders, a card of pecul
lar construction, being of light green
color on one side and buff on the
other, was chosen. Only one firm in
the county, Wilkinson Bros & Co. of
Derby, Conn.,, are at the present time
prepared to make card of this pecul
lar construction, and they have refus-
ed to make contracts for furnishing the
stock to any other bidders except two
New England firms. The process by
which This peculiar stock is manufac-
tnred is not patent one, nor would
other paper makers have any dfficulty
in making similar card If time enough
was given them to prepare tie neces
sary machinery. But as the advertise
ment for proposals required that the
successful bidder should begin the
manufacture of the postal cards on the
LIST of May next, it virtually excluded
from competition all except this one
firm and tie two with which thsy have
made arrangements. When this fact
was brought to the attention of the
Postmaster General and his first assist
ant, Mr. Tyner, they at once decided
that, Notwithstanding the fact that a
Reimbursement would cost the de
partment SIS, 0C0, no other course was
open except to postpone the opening
of bids and to issue Kew invitations
Cor proposals.
The new contract will also go into
operation on the 1st of July, instead
of Ola the 1st of May, as heretofore
Four years ago, when the existing con
tract was awarded. several manufac
turers who would have been glad to
compete for it were debarred because
they could not make the necessary
to begin the work in tie
three or four weeks which remained
between the time the contract was
awarded and the date when they We're
required to begin to furnish large
quantities of the postal cards. Post
master General Key also intends to
held the contractor to whom the work
may be awarded strictly to the terms
OF his agreement, and 20 require him
to furnish cards which shall in every
respect be as good as the sample 0n
which the bid Is made. Four years |
ago, manufacturers who made bids, |
that 10 cards would be ac
cepted u less they were asgood as the |
sample furnished, named much higher
prices than they would have done had |
they been informed in advance that |
cards 10 better than some of those
which were accepted would be receiv
ed. i
In word, it is the determination of |
the Postmaster General that this and |
all other contracts shall be awarded |
fairly and that all honest manufactur
ere shall have an equal chance to bid |

RUMGRS NF WAR

The cry of wolf has been SO often
raised during the past six months that
the public will be slow TO believe, az
ter so many false alarms. that war is
actually threatening Europe. YET. un-
less Turkey grows more inclined to
meet Russia at least half way than
Ie now appears to be, hostilities must
ensue. The only alternative <oul be
an unlocked for, and we may say i'm
possible. manifestation of peace prin'
ciples Oh the side Of Russia The me-
dating powers have been doing their
best to give Russia a chan ;e of back
ing out of its warlike position without
enGangering its prestige Now, after
ali this trouble has been taken, the
uugrateful and implacable Turk
blocks the way. He is seemingly in
different 10 the friendly efforts for
keeping bis powerful enemy away
from him, and refuses all the conces-
sions which the powers have deemed
il best for him 10 make He will send
no envoy to st. Petersburg; wants TO
be left alone in dealing with Montene-
gro, and refuses to accept the Russian
declaration of disarmament. A more
hopeless subject for compromise could
hardly he found. The South was no
more intractable in 1S60-G than tie
supposed sick man appears TO be III
1877. England las all along been
most sedulou- to preserve peace. E-r
present administration has yielded
much more TO the side OF Turkey than
is agreeable to the literary and
thoughtlul classes OF the people. The
historian Freeman declares that the
Turks are still barbarors interlopers
ia Europe and should be driven from
It's soil. Our readers all know how
eloquent Mr. Gladstone has been in
the same direction. British statecraft
aud British moral sentiments are OBJ
viousiy at sword points. Lord Derby
and his coadjutors have defended their
course on the ground that Turkey
would make all needed concessions,
reform her ways, end be guilty of no
more butclleries. Now that these OBJ
legations have been repudiated in
spirit, at least, it will be interesting to
watch the utterances and actions OF
the Tory Cabinet. 1t looks just now
as if the advocates of peace were in
a pretty hopeless condition, but diplo-
matists and politicians are wonderfully
flexible, and the skies may brighten
in a day or two. We can only urge
our readers to wait in patience for the
developments of the next week, and
to be duly grateful that the Atlantic
separates them from communities
which are always tottering on the
verge of some fearful precipice.-Cin-

Ed. JEFF Ia looking over your

as they come to my mind.
The last excitement we had was the
grand fox hunt that came off last Sat
urday, in this and Delaware townships
under the command of Lieutenant
General Philip Snyder. The bound
cries of the lines were as follows, Wis:
East line commencing at Solomon
Shaffer's, thence South to 4 Davis,
thence west to the BellefountaiDe road
rhree miles south of this place, thence
north to Martinstown and from there
East to the place OF starting.
Well Saturday came and with it
came General Snyder, and with the
assistance OF his very efficient and able
Adjutant General, A. V. Davis of this
place, it was not long before all the
subordinate generals and captains were
busily engaged in forming the lines,
the General making his head-quar-
ters in the saddle only when he went
to obtain fresh supply of commissa-
rie.. By 10 O'Clock all was in readi-
ness, and at a given signal the lines
started and by IL o'clock centered or

Well, General Snyder was not to be

seeing that the lines were closed took
their position in'the center Oh the top

were sent in to catch it and the little
thing ran for dear life, but it was

amidst most enthuastic shouts. Tho
General then informed his troops that
there was to be a collection taken up
to pay printing expenses, &c bot at
the word collection the troops broke
rank and started for home. After the
hunt, a dispute Occurred in Nimpses

badly injured in the face, that W. *.

ALL WILL remember the praise
awarded to L. B. Washburne. our
Minister to France for his efforts to NIT
igate the seventies of war, during the
seige of Paris. The German Govern
ment has appreciated the services rem
dered its citizens, at that trying time
by rendering him the decoration of one
of the high orders of German knight
hood. The decoration is said to have
cost $50, 600, and to be composed of the
most costly diamonds aud precious
stones. Mr.. Washburne has informed
the German Minister that under
the Constitution of the United
States he can not accept this decora-
ton, but the Minister retains it for
Mr.. Washburne, in the event the lat
ter should desire to retire from office.
AS private citizen he could accept it
without an act of Congress. g.
