Newspaper Laws.


The following are he laws laid down
by the United States. Government fol-
the protection of newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered az
wishing to continue their subscription
Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals, the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrear.
ages are paid.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and
papers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office before
removing and leaving them uncalled for
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
Ifsubscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end Of their time, if they do not
wish to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it oneand
the subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice, with payment of all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
Publishers OF newspapers can under
law, arrest any man for fraud who takes
paper and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law it is a dangerous trick for man
to allow his subscription account to run
on for six months to year and a half,
unpaid and then tell the postmaster to
mark "refused' or to send the editor
notice to discontinue the paper.

We are glad to meet on the streets

strangers. Surely the schoolmaam is a.

The Federal Elections Bill has stirred

The Federal Elections Bill has stirred
up the wrath of the Democracy to an
awful extent, and their contortions are
peaceful to behold. The following is
the conclusion of protest which has
been prepared by the Dem ocratic rep
resentatives in Congress:
I'm view Of the great danger to the
rights and liberties Of the people and to
the principle of local self-government
involved in this bill, we respectfully APP
peal to American freemen, without re-
gard to party, to enter timely protest by
way of public meeting or otherwise.
against this consolidation ofgovernment
the destruction of popular rights, and
the very foundation of American liberty
for we indulge in no mere rhetorical
flourish when we solemnly affirm on our
loyalty as citizens and on our honor as
Representatives, that this vicious and
unpatriotic measure is a most serious
menace to the very life of the Republic. !"
This protest is signed exclusively bv
Northern Democrats, and is therefore a
very sectional piece of literature. For
some reason not stated, the Southern
representatives, do not solemnly affirm
on their loyalty as citizens and their
honor as Representatives that the bill is
serious menace to the very life of the
Republic. We are sorry that the
Southern brethren are thus remiss in
their duty, and we cannot understand
why they do not also rush forward and
protest. A more inspiring sight could
scarcely be imagined than to see Mr..
Breckenridge and Mr.. Cate organizing
and holding public meetings without re-
gard to party to enter timely protest
against bill to ensure fair elections in
respective districts. It would also do
much to disabuse the public mind of
the impression that has, in some way
produced, that there has been, in the
South, some tampering with elections.
But the Southern members are strange
ly quiescent, while their Northern breth-
ern are thus straining themselves.
There is screw loose somewhere.

McGhee and Shepherd.

From some unknown cause in giving
the daily diapers the histories Of the
different Colored men, both McGhee
and Shepherd have been overlooked;
probably because these two men have
each in his own way demonstrated to
the world that he is capable of measur-
ing arms with his white opponents,
not as a mental, but as a barrister and
artist. While certain people have, time
and again, had published to the world
their great qualities and wealth, these
two men have gone on unmindful OF
the petty slurs thrown on them by men
who presume to be the head lights OF
society and own the earth and run the
town. These two mems names are con.
stant]y on the tongues of friends of the
race. One as a barrister, has unlocked
the doors of prisons to give his clients
freedom. The other as an artist, has
demonstrated his worth, by gathering
under his control the galleries of others
that we're started for his destruction.
And it is known to many that there are
three diff rent places run under as many
different names, but all owned by
Shepherd.
Each man has worked his way from
the lowest round of the ladder, and
while McGhee would say to an opposing
attorning, II will defend with best Of
my ability" Shepherd says to the men

If the sapient legislators of Louisiana

est keyhole when reading Gov. Nichols
message vetoing the lottery bill. Gov.
Nichols says:
"Suddenly the dark shadow of deep

with the darkest days Of the reconstruc-

to them we are selling out our birthright
for mess of pottage. Let me say to
you that should this measure be adopted
and carried out, in my opinion no good
will ever come of the money which we
will receive as the price of our honor
and our liberty. Extravaganza, pro-
filgacy and corruption will assuredly

But the governor is simply whistling
against the wind. The lottery men sent
those legislators there to pass that bill
and they will pass it. They would sell
Louisiana out to the reconstructionists

Few people have any idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals to the
amount Of the alcholoid which they
have consumed and if it has not been
quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This
time of year, overcoats are out of season
and the question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-

kind should lead one to inquire of any

MORAL CONDITION OF THE RACE.

But it is further argued that the negro is no t
entitled to his rights in the human brotherhood,
and under the constitution of his country, be-
cause his standard of morality is low. Now
the question that at once presents itself is this;
Does education help to improve the moral con-
dition of people? If this be granted, it is not
hard to conclude that such q means will be a
long step toward the removal of this element OF
the problem. We will not assume however.
that education is a synonym for morality, for
It 1s clear that many persons and some races
staining superiority of Intelligence are not
always models of moral purity. But, while this
is true it is an unusual position for one to hold
that intelligence is q hindrance to the develop
ment of virtuous tendencies. 1t is, rather, con-
coded that ignorance is great source of immor-
atty: and this is made emphatic when we take
into consideration the fact that conscience, en-
lightened or unenlightened, determines to a large
degree the moral acts of men. It cannot be de-
MED that what may be termed an innate moral
consciousness is subject to education in order
to make II safe guide in the realm OF
moral obligation. j think it is DR..

Hon. John W. Griggs and City Counsel
Simonton ON Thursday went before the
Supreme Court and argued the applica-
ton of the Board of Education for a
mandamus to compel the Board of Alder
men to appropriate the S15 per capita as
provided by the new law passed by the
Legislature on May of this year. The
decision was adversely to the appellees.
In making out the sum to be used for
school purposes the Board of Education
asked at the new rate of SIS for every
pupil, the total sum being $136, 97620.
This is less sum than was appropriated
to them last year, but the City Fathers
couldn't see how the tax assessors were
going to raise this amount, and accord
ingly, when the tax ordinance containing
this item came before them, they uH-
tremendously cut it down $21, $685. rs
on the ground that the Board of Educa-
tion is not entitled to per capita ap-
preparation on the attendance at the
evening schools. Then the Board of
Education retained the Hon. John w.
Griggs as their counsel, and they decided
to test the law which was passed for
their special benefit.
