A.WS RELATING TO NEWSPAPER
SUBSCRIPTIONS and ARREARAGES.
From the Grocers* Prices Current.]
In response to a request, we give the law as
it standi relating to newspapers and subscri
bers :
1. Subscribers who do not give express no*
ties to the contrary, are considered wishing
to continue their subscriptions. *
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals, the publisher may con
tinue to send them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their psriodicals from the office to which
they are directed, tiny are held responsible
until they have settled their bills, and order-
ed them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without Informing the publishers, and thepa*
pers are sent to the former direction, they
are held responsible.
5. The Cour^ have decided that “refusing
to take periodicals from the office,.or remov
ing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence nf intentional fraud.**
G. Any person who recleves a newspaper
and makes use of it, whether he has ordered
it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber.
7. If subscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher, at the
end of their time, if they do not wish to con
tine to fake it; otherwise the publisher is
authorizod to tend it on, and the subscribers
will be responsible until au express notice,
with payment of all arrears, Is sent to the
publisher.
MiBCSGtxATiotf BT Law.—The Mississippi
Supreme Court has affirmed. the ligitima-
cy of issue by the marriago of whites and
blacks.
This decision was rendered in a case w.bere
a parcel of mulatto children sued for the
property of their lather,who. as they alleged,
was married to their mother,a negro woman,
and this settles the matter ot mixed marraiges
in the Slate of Mississippi. Hereafter it is a
mere matter of taste and not law in that un
happy State.
In Alabama an inferior Court decided this
? [neation in a more summary war,as will more
ally appear by the following paragraph:
‘•In Montgomery, on the 10th, a burly 4 un
couth negro was married by a justice of the
peace to a white eyprian of that place***

The Philadelphia Press says: “The Cen

000—SI,000,000 raised by ihe private sub
scriptions ot onr citixens, $500,000 contrib
uted by the corporations, and $500,000 ap
propriated by the Legislature. The Statp
will contribute another $1,000000 before the
expiration of the present Legislature, and
thus we hare $5,000,000, enough at least to
pay for the cost of the erection of the Exhi
bition buildings. This generous and patri
otic action must compel Congress to donate
the $3,00(7,000 asked at its hands as the offer
ing of the nation.”

The Executive Committee made the follow
iug important report:
To the Worthy-Matter aitd Brethren of Soxth-
Weitern Georgia Conference of Patrons of
Husbandry :
It is made the duty by your By-Laws that,
your Executive Committee shall overlook the
business of th.e order in this section and de
vise plans for the furtherance of this organ
ization. •
Your Committee, immediately upon their
appointment, organized . and went actively
into the discharge of the various and ardu
ous duties which devolved upon them. Our
time of meeting is Wednesday of each week
in the office of their eba rtnan, when they re
ceive acd pass upon all propositions from
merchants, bankers or others who propose
to secure the patronage of the patrons, of
husbandry, some .of .ykipli propositions wp.
hare approved, and some of our brethren
have acted upon them in the purchase of
corn.and bacon at prices a good deal below
what they wou:d have to pay in the market
without the assistance afforded them by our
order.
We have been looking to a moneyed ar
rangement for our fraternity, in Savannah
and elsew heie, and have reason to beUeve
that in a short time we will be able to make
moneyed arrangements at living rates, and
should the fraternity endorse and carry into
execution .the recommendation hereinafter
contained, we hope to be able in a short time,
by having such unity and national strength
as will make ns an organization to be known
and felt, as will give us finaucial credit at
home and abroad
In New York money is 3 per cent, per an
num on call, and should be less than 2j percent
per month here. Let as unite by bringing
our means and influence into a concentrated
shape, aud we will have credit and cheap
money.
As a step in the right direction, we re-*
commend the establishment and organization
of a “Farmers Club aud Grange Warehouse,”
and to that end we have prepared a charter
for incorporation at our next Superior Court.
We would impress upon our fraternity the
argent necessity of enforcing the letter of
our institution, tlral the spirit of the same
may not thereby languish; may the Ritual
be studied and strictly enforced, apd (.he
glonous principles which it embodies be im
pressed upon our hearts.
We are of those who believe that there is
a long and bright future that awaits OQr in-r
stituiion if we arc but true to Its great prin
ciples and true to each other.

failure of a cotton crop, either from worms,
from drought, .or from any other unavoidable
cause. Improbable as such visitations may
appear, have we the power to prevent them?
and is it wise to subject ourselves, to the pos
sibility of becoming the victims of such ca

safest policy is, as far as practicable, to pro

cannot be done, and at the same time produce

prosperity.
.A* our Constitution expresses it, “the
prosperity of s nation is in proportion to the
value of its protractions." ?heq how mag
nificently prosperous should be the Colton
Slates oflhi8 Union! Annually 4,000,000
bales of cotton are produced upon Southern
soil But what proportion of this vast-amouut
is retained to indicate our prosperity ! One-
half of it is expended for necessary supplies,
whilst the remainder irdivided between la
bor and taxes. Hence the cost of production
has exceeded the valneofthe article produc
ed. Shall this policy continue ? Extensive
cotton orops have evinced our unity of pur t
pose, and entailed poverty upon ns. An
equally uniform adhesion to mixed husban
dry would secure our recuperation.
Patrons of the South, do yon appreciate
your privileges ? Reflect upon your oppor
tunity to exact tribute to the world Colton
is a necessity,.and the extent of that neces
sity can be calculated with exactness. It is
equally well known what proportion of that
necessity most be supplied by the Cotton
States of America. If 8,600.000 bales are
grown, Ihey will be consumed bef ore another
crop con be gathered, and a remunerative
market price will be sustained by tbo conse

TDe Tajc^Fayerq* Convention—A Teil-
lqg Statement of i^Rain of
Negro Hule. ’
Columbia, February i7.—The Convention
(0*1*7 adopted a plan for tbe organization of
a Bureau of Immigration, with a Commis
sioner in each county. Also .the . following
memorial to Congress:
The memorial of the tax payers and other
citizens of South Carolina respectfully shew-
etb; That upnn the reconstruction of the-
State Government, 'and the admission of Sen
ators and Representatives into the Congress
of the United States, It was doubtless in
tended by Congress, as it was expected by
them, that they, would become partakers of
the rights enjoyed by citizens of the United
States and oilier Stale Governments The
history of the country teaches that taxation

olutionary Fathers combiucd to resist such
tyranny, and \vc feel assured lirttii was nev

allow this system to be fastened upon any of
their., fellow-citizens. It has’nevertheless

Congivss, has Been mede Ibe tiuiiunirni or

Department of State government, which $x-
erciiCN ihe taxing power is administered by
those who own a mere fraction of the proper

since the reconstruction of the State govern
ment, and during that period of the property

islature owned no portion** whatsoever, and
lb** remaining members owned so little that

Tour petitioners if the effect of thiiolicy
had been to create an active denll for
lands on the part of the larga cialf our
population; but, while the owners:?, by
oppressive taxation, driveu to. ^ellihers,
for the same v reason, are disqualifl from
baying. . jl
The abuses iu the Lagis!ati*e Dcjimeut
that have been Uescribi d arc uot coiied to
the mere raising and expenditure of ijroues,
but they pervade the entire cundu$f tkat
Department. Schemes have been defcd for
issuing State bonds and for contract! oiler
loans by which the public debt haifn * fix
years, been raised from $5,000.0001 $lj,-
('00,000, and that without advanqg my
public works, adding one dollar to tk ^tte
treasury,or to the payment* of ibjp'dic
debt. , arge as the sum of the public di is
admitted to be, there is reason to belie it
does not reach the true amount It is jind
impossible la : aHcertaiu the actual sum jibe
obligations that hays been *ssued. Scfnes
of puhllo plunder have been openly adviced
by corrupt measures of which ouc singex-
ample will suffice.
Two clerks of the Legislature, iu thjof-
ticial capacity, made contracts. \yith bin-
selves, as private persons, for Ihe jblic
printing. The appropriations made [oiie
year tor the work done, or to be doS by
these two officials, amounted to $475,01 ex
clusive of $105,000, fur puhlishin' the
laws; auJ in the fiscal year 1871,acre
\Y9to actually paid to them for printing i31 -
000. ltfaving a large sum thou duo lo ilia by
the State, and this notwithstanding (b4ow-
al of the 1 wo officials themselves that thkork
done was worth no more than $100,0<i and
the testimony of others that its v*h|w*s
only $00,000.
The stupendous fraud mvalvcd iu ti and
stmilar modes of making the legitimoj ob
jects of public expenditure tbe ined|n of
plundering the Treasury, cannot bejetter
illustrated than by the following factq/The
total appropriations for public printin
by the Legislature of South Carolina
a period of 60 years, from 1800 to II
$271,180. Daring the last year the
actually expended for public printinj
present Legislature was $331,705;
$C0,7Q5 more than it oost the State
years before the war.
Committees have received large
compensation for reporting favorably
vate bills, and strong rdhsons exist jr be.-
lieving that a large amount of StatBank
bills, funded by the Sta<e discharge jr lia
bilities, have been re-issued by those ^ruat»
ed by tbe Legislature with the duty|f the
cancelation.
Iu the Judiciary Department evils &ually
grievous have been produced under df pres
ent State government. The Judgi hold
their offices for short terms. Tfieir
nance in office depends* upou Ihe caphes of

In most of the States there migbtbo some
