PER CoNTRA.-ln justice to Colonel Hard, for
whom we have always entertained high personal
regard and esteem we copy the following, which
we clip from the Burlington Free Press of this
morning: I" We are glad to learn that j. X Bach
elder, Esq, of Arlington, who was in town last
evening, and who is Of the bondsmen OF
Colonel II. S. Hard, does not regard him as de
faulter. Mr.. Bachelor says that any deficiency
in Mr.. Hard's accounts as receiver will probably
not exceed five hundred dollars, and that Colonel
Hard could doubtless explain it, and that he was
amply responsible forthat or for greater amount
Mr.. Bachelor believes that Colonel Hard's dsap-
pearance is due to some alteration of mind W,
have known Colonel Hard for MANY years and re.
spected him as an honest man and courteous gen
tleman, and we sincerely hope that all the I'm
pleasant rumors connected with his disappearance
will prove false"

EDITOR MORT HERN STAR:
The purple glOoms and pallid nists OF
Autumn remind us OF the near approach OF
the end ofanother vanished year. The mis-
fortunes and calamitirs with which indi-
vidusls and communities have been envi-
rOned in the past will soon I've forgotten,
and into the hopeful future OF a new
year We shall step, with buoyant pros
poets, enriched by an experience that
shall be more valuable to us than gold.
The possible adjournment of Congress
has had quickniug influence, and to
some extent urged on the tardy wheels
of legislation. The Army Bill was great
ly helped by the possibility OF recess.
The PARIS Exposition Bill was the occa
sion in the House forSunset Cox to add
to his laurels as ''thc funny man. by de-
livering a numerous speech on abill, as
he termed it, ITO allow our gentry to so
abroad to advertise their goods. His
proposition to make Hewitt superintend-
ent OF the HOminy dept, and instructor
oi the "Heathen Chinesr in the art Of
"Cookce Cornee' brought down the
house. The climax was reached, rs he
drew picture Ot corn husking in
france under the direction of Ex-Gov.
Swan, Chairman of Comm, in which
brown faced, wooden shod girl of Mar =
seilles discovers rcd car and cries ia
rOugcl Ia rouge! cmbraserymoi" The
final passage Of The Bill as reported by
the Committee will be gratifying aud
, 1877-12-15

with amendments all over these outlines
Of bills some inturlincd, some pasted on
the original draft ot the bill, and many
pinned to it looking as if the opposing
counsel had taken the attorneys briet,
and with intent to ridicuIe it, had attach.
cd his comments to e. cry part of it.
No provisions were made for correct
ing or fitting this mixed up mass of stuff
for publication. With no time or chance
tor examination, the Governor was com
PEELED to sign these bills, left in such Il
fearful state, and when signed, they were
the Mm, and blunuers of every name and
nature included; or else by refusing to
bindly sign them, to nullily nearly all
the proceedings OF the whole session.
Heretofore, we believe, the originul
bills have been sent to the public printer
for him to set up and correct, and it is
said, that when such IN undigested mass
of matter was presented to him, he would
treat it MS an editor would copy received
from an illitcrate contributor, make what
he could out of it, and set it up and cor
rect it, 50 as to preserve the sense as
near as possible, of the writer
Thus making the printer and Terr.
Secretary more important legislators in
changing the law, than any member of
either house.
This year Sec, owings rules; that he
has no discretion, and that as a public
officer he is compelled to print literal
copy of the law as he finds it, and as the
Legislature lett it, mistakes and all. That
u alone is the law, and that to do differ
emily he would be compelled to stulufy
himself, and to certify to nm untruth.
He also holds that the responsibility of
the whole matter rests with the Legisla-
ture in not having the bills put into the
hands of II committee OF revision. and en-
crossed by the engrossing clerks before
being signed by the Governor, or filed in
his office.
When once filed in his office, they are
a public record, and should never be
taken away from it, only literal copies,
being rightfully sent to the printer for
publication. Consequently, these stat
utes will be literal copies of the stuff left
by the legislature ON their adjournment.
II will form book as large as the Laws
OF "a" and will be q task for lawyers MS
well as the people to understand. We
hope IL will not have any further effect,
than to teach Legislators to attend to bu-
siness before pleasure, and make all more
careful how they again do such business.
