WASiiNGION July 10.-The Attorney General has
lust repeated his former decision IN regard to the
prices which the different departments may legally
nav for advertising. lie maintains that under the
old Act which had specific relation TO the Organiza-
ton of Courts aud other expenses the rates of adj
vertsing fixed for the publication of certain legal
notices forty cents for first ms erton of each one
hundred words and twenty cents for each subse-
quent lnserton) the rate which must control ali
Government advertising with few insignificant ex-
ceptions The second consideration of the subject
arose upon a letter addressed to the Attoney-Gen-
eral from the War Department calling his attention
to certain other provisions OF law III regard TO adVer
tsmg and to the evident scope OF the Act III ques-
tion. which could not by fair construction be held
to cover the general advertising business of the
Government. The Attorney General holds that
while the Act which he cites evidently applies to the
Courts and their expenses, the indefinite and for
other purposes" at the end Of the title of the act
shows that 1t was the intention of the Act to cover
more than was implied by the general title. The
Second Controller has written letter based upon this
opinion and which ho announces that hereafter he
will settle all accounts for advertising for the war
Department upon the rates thus fixed by the Attor-
uey-General. IL will be necessary to pursue the
same course with the other Departments and the ei
feet will be to place the Government advertisements
among the rejected communications IN all journals
of any consequence. The War Department Is at a
loss TO find methods of publishing proposals for
some worry important matters of business pend
ina. Its information is that the newspapers whose
circulation is Of any value to the Department Will
decline to publish its advertisements, and that tho
business of the Government will materially difer IN
consequence.
