WHO SHALL PUBLISH THE LAWS !?


Some of our exchanges who are not
on the list to publish the laws of New
Jersey, are asking the question, "Who
shall publish the laws?" This seems
like startling question, thrust upon
us as it is just at the close Of dog days,
but it isn't? We have looked at the
question from all standpoints, and in
reply to the question, "Who shall pub
lish the laws?" feel called upon to say
all who can get 'ela. The question
does not trouble the South Jcrseyman
in the least, for it is only question
of year or two when the system Of
advertising the laws of the State will
be abolished, and only those laws
which are local in their application,
and general laws which are general in
fact as we'll as name, will be publish
in all the newspapers in the counties
to which they apply. Under the
present Constitution, which prevents
special legislation, many laws of only
special application are so twisted as to
make them general only in name, and
of course they are published in the
newspapers designed to publish the
enactments of the State. In short,
what DO the people of South Jersey
care about law which authorizes the
Board of Excise of Essex county to
grant applications for license when
certain conditions are complied with;
and vice versa, what do the people of
East Jersey care about law which
authorizes certain inhabitants of Salem
county to organize meadow company,
OF form a new township This is the
whole matter in a nutshell South
Jerseynan.

AN PROCUREMENT CLERK CLAIMS DAMAGES
PROM HIS ALLEGED TRADUCER.
Yesterday Messrs. Hine and Thomas entered
suit for Mr.. Asa P. Knight, late clerk in the
Sixth Auditors office against Samuel S. Black
ford for SANDER, laying damages at $4,000 The
declaration sets forth that Knight was 81 600
clerk in the office of the Sixth Auditor of the
Treasury. and charges the defendant with falsely
trying TO inJure his standing as clerk and de-
prve him of his means of support: that in Feb
ruary. 1880, he published that the plaintiff had
charged Secretary Sherman with buying up
S. J. Bowen. "a delegate to the Chicago convention:
and had also detailed clerk in the Loan divi-
sion OF the Treasury. to organize Sherman
ciups IN that state; that he (Blackford) Also
told the late sixth auditor, Mr. McGrew. that the
pialntin had circulated reports about him, and
accused nlm OF being person OF inebriate and
llcenflOus habits, by reason of which statements
the plaintiff was removed from office. The bill
charges also that the defendant told Mr.. Mctilew
that plaintiff had said that the late deputy sec
ond auditor of the Treasury had assessed money
contributions on clerks in his office as the price
OF promotion with the knowledge and consent
OF Mr.. French. the second auditor. and that
Mr. French, while holding the office. compelled
clerk in his office to purchase for him horse
and buggy; that the plaintiff having applied for
reinstatement the charges and statements above
given were filed by Blackford with the appoint
ment clerk of the Treasury department. The
prived him of the good opinion of his friends
in the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, in which both
he and Blackford hold positions as ushers, by
saying to various members of the church: II
heard him swear at fearful rate on the steps Of
the City Hail."
