all intents and purposes the two papers
having circulation Of about ., 900 are
set aside in the discrimination OF the
Sheriff, and the advertising money OF
the unfortunatsl creditors who fall into
the Sheriff 9 hands, is taken.to pay Dem
ocratic editors, as apart oftheir plundsr
from the Democratic crib. There never
was a fairer law controlling the adver-
tising patronage Of the Sheriff than
that which was repealed by the last
legislature. Then the Sheriff had the
choice of one paper and the creditor
the other in which to advertise, and
where the creditor failed 10 make q
choice the Sheriff was ordered to make
choice for him, but in order to be
lust to the creditors he was ordered to
choose the paper having the largest
circulation in the county. The wisdom
and Justice OF such a law must com
mend itself to all who love justice.
This is the law that has been repealed
to make way for the present law,
which should be styled IAN act to
cheat the Sherifr's creditors out OF
their advertising money There is
yet remedy left for creditors whose
properties are sacrificed at Sherifl's
sales. They can have the sales upset
on account OF insufficient notice being
given, and We hope that through their
attorneys they will exercise that right.

Thanks.

The Gazette" has paid us a rathel
unexpected compliment, for which i
has our thanks. In mentioning severa
farms sold at Sheriff's sale, it has ths
following
"The first was a farm of 500 acres
below New Castle. 1t was advertised
in the GAZETTE and Republican and
sold ; and the sale set aside because il
was not sufficiently advertised. 1t was
then advertised in the Every Evening
and GAZETTE and sold tor $500 less. "
All, indeed This is an unexpected
compliment from an unexpected quar-
ter, and We accept the compliment,
though it was not intended as such.
First that farm was advertised in the
"Gazette" and REPUBLICAN and sold,
and because it did not bring enough
the sale was set aside. Next the Re,
PUBLICAN was thrown aside and the
"Every Evening, substituted, and
then the farm sold for $4,000 less than
it did before. Good for the REPUBLICAN
We always knew it was good adver'
tislng medium, and we are the more
grateful to the "GaZette's" testimony
that a single Sheriff's sale brought $2,'
500 more when advertised in the RE
PUBLICAN, than it brought under any
other advertisement. Evidence like
this is overwhelming, especially when
all enemy is the witness.

the Shields foremost in good works, do
mated fifty dollars more a. their dona-

The 'Gazette' says that the REpUB

in the habit Of using strong language,
but in reply to this charge we will only
say that the "Gazette" tells whopper,
and it knows it. 1t is such big whop.

exposes the rancof and vindictiveness
of paper that apologies for fraud, and

LONDON, Dec. Is, 1870.
Special dispatches from Madrid state that
Premier Canovas del Castillo declines to apollo
gize for his course in the Chamber of Deputies
on the 10th inst, in refusing to give further ex-
PLANTATION at that time regarding the causes of
the recent Cabinet crisis. The opposition men,
bers of the Chamber will persist in abstaining
from taking their seats until he does
apologize. The followers Of Sehors Sa-
gasta and Martinez Campos, however, and
the liberal West Indian deputies say
that their attitude only implies censure of
Premier Canovas del Castillo and not any revo-
lutionary or factious resistance to the govern
ment. Senior Gomez's opposition in the SEN
ate on Saturday to the bill for the abolition of
slavery in Cuba was based on its insufficiency
to satisfy either the liberals in Spain or the
blacks in Cuba Dispatches from Madrid say that
most of the statements published in reference to
recent events here are officially declared to be
either exaggerated or incorrect. Only six
generals of the army have resigned. None of
them actually held commands. but only occu-
pied administrative posts. The ministerial
journals of Madrid state that Premier Canovas
del Castello has not refused to give such ex-
plantations to the Chamber of Deputies as may
be required, but will at tho same time uphold
the prcrogative of tho Government.
