"SUPRME COURT JUDGES AS WRITERS.
In an editorial a column IN length, marked
by quotations from the article, the Will
mington Star bestows warm praise upon the
communication which appeared in The o.
serrer, of Sunday last, entitled Supreme
Court Judges as Writer'S, and signed
Scribe" The article impressed us as be-
ing of singular interest, and It's style was
sufficient to have commended 1t to public
attention even had the substance been lack
ing. We are not at all surprised that it is
attracting attention. Referring to the COM
munication the very scholarly and apprecla-
tive editor of the Star says
The author of it has either studied rhet-
ORIG to some purpose, or which is better, he
is familiar with the best productions of
Of standard English authors. He is unlike
many persons who undertake to use the
gray goose quill" or one Estcrbrook's
falcon pens. He knows good English when
he sees it, and he understands the difference
1t styles. \ man who writes well has a
style as much his own as his nose or his
right hand is his OWE. Inferior writer's
have no style. They exhibit none of the
excellencies of a mature style, which is but
another name for the art of putting words
into graceful, correct and lucid sentences. A
good writer's expresses himself neatly, taste
fully, accurately, strongly, clearly.
Summarizing the opinions OF Scribe
as to the writing of each of the judges
whose styles he touches upon, the Star
concludes its article as follows
How this dictum of Scribe will coincide
with the opinion of other able lawyers, for
such The Observer says he is, we cannot
know. Not being familiar with the legal
opinions of our ~iurists. living or dead, we
have Summarized the deliverances OF one
who IS familiar with the literary defects or
eXcellencies Of our highest judiciary. We

MONROE, Sept. 4th, 1879.
Hon. ID. &. fOacIe,
DEAR SIR:-The 18th inst. is a day fixed
for a Reunion of the soldiers who served
in the late war between the States, from
this county and the place of meeting, a
spring a half mile South of this place. At
a recent meeting composed of many hun
dreds of the soldiers resident of this coun-
ty, with a view to add interest to the occa-
sion, it was determined to invite speakers
from abroad and we were appointed a
committee for that purpose. After the
adoption of the resolution. the mention of
your name in this connection by a member
was received by the meeting with the wild
est demonstrations of approval, aid we
were instructed especially to extend an in
~vitation to you.
Permit US then to add our solicitation to
the wishes of our soldier friends and to
hope that we may be honored with your
presence on the occasion referred to. Be
pleased if not too inconvenient. to notify
US at once of your determination, to the
end that suitable arrangements may be
made for your reception. We are

Your ob't servants.

Democratic party at the late session of the
Legislature decided that Messrs. Hale &
Saunders should be Public Printers. The
Legislature then contracted with Messrs.
Hale & Saunders to 10 the Public Print
ing at certain rates fixed by law before the
contract was made. Part OF the printing
Specified in the contract) which Messrs.
Hale & Saunders agreed to do, and gave
pond to do, was the printing Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Colonel Saunders
was afterwards appointed Secretary of State
and of course closed his connection with the
State Printing. This will serve to explain
to YOU and your readers why a few words
from me have been made necessary by ar

have been called to my attention, and an

I have obtained and read in consequence OF
reading what you said in the later issue.

RALEIGH, Sept. Sth, 1879.
Mcssrs. .ShotreU d, D0wd,
GENTLEMEN: In the last issue of the
FARMER AND MECHANIC, dated September
4, in answer to DR.. LedouX's letter correct
ing an erroneous statement in regard to the
cost of his annual report, appears the fol-
lowing paragraph
"Our estimate was based upon the cost
OF Col. Folks hand book, i. e., 50, 800
for 5, 200 copies, not including the paper,
the maps, the wrappers and the postage; a
very cheap job, as Col. Polk and many
others considered. 1t seemed only reasOna-
BILE that if Col. Folks pamphlet of go pa
ges cost above So, 600, the cost Of Prof.
Ledoux's Report, 217 (same size pages
pages, 5, 600 copies, would run to at least
So, 300"
l wish to call your attention to the fact
that the n. c.. Hand Book, instead Of 26O
pages, as you state, contains 29l pages;
and instead of 5000 copie, as you state,
the News Publishing Company" CON
tracted to print 10, 600, 500 of which were
bound in muslin, for the 50, 800.
By allowing space for this correction,
you will oblige
Yours most respectfully,

We accept Col. Folks second communi-
cation with exceeding a%lacrity. 1t is true,
as he says, the Handbook contains 291, in
stead Of 261 pages. The reversal of the fig
ure 9 caused the error,-slight as it is. SO
in regard to the number; Col. Polk at first
arranged to print 5000; we were not aware
that he had doubled the number.
These things, however, are not material !;
they fail to affect the burden of our state
ment which referred to tie large outidy Of
public money for comparatively trifng bene-
fit This is the point the public has its eye
upon.
y few pages, or a few copies, more or
less, are a secondary consideration. But,
since we are taken to task about our figures,
it may be well to state that we did err griev-
ously as to the cost of the book. We gave
its cost at about So, 900. Whereas the ''offi
cial figures obtained from the proper au-
thorities. show that the cost ran above FOUR
MOHsdRd dOUdyY!
The items are, us the Treasurer's vouch-
ers show,-Printing and Binding 50, 500; pa
per 81, O9S. 30: maps S31O,-TOtal s., 9OS. 80.
To this must be added the postage, s cents
per pamphlet copy; 90 cents per bound
copy. as the Postmaster informs us. The
Handbooks were distributed largely from
the Commissioners office hence the postage
bill must run very high.

As for our lack of knowledge of print
ing and of the [. S. postal laws"-we are
thankful that no one need suffer SO long as
ready pens are ready to set straight our de-
fciencies. 1t is true our corrector Is not
positive precisely how far our ignorance
has carried US, since he admits Col. Folks
