FREFMA*, Editor Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip tions and Arrearages. 1* Subscribers mho do not (jive, express notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription, 2. Tf subscribers order the discontinuance Oj their periodicals,, the publishers may continue to send them until all arrearages paid. 4. If subscribers neglect or refuse w take their periodicals from the of ice to which they are di rected, they are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontin ued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without notifying publishers, and the papers are sen/ to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. bt The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodical c from the office, or removing and ledving them uncalled, for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” ft; Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether he has ordered it or not, is held ih law to be a subscriber. I. 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 continue tak iny it < otkeri' iie the publisher is authorized to Send it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to (he publisher. Wednesday, march is, iB7. Mardi Gras was more generally observed this year than ever before. Grant regrets to part with Belknap. “ How are the mighty fallen V' Chan: says “ Let no guilty man es cape.” No, not if he be the Drear cent. That “ Confederate Congress 77 may do the country some good yet. The late Rcverdy Johnson leaves twelve children, about fifty grandchil dren, and several greatgrandchildren. The late Willian B. Astor owned 2,500 l'cusrs and building lots in Nev York city. The Congressional Library contains 293,927 volumes, and is increasing at the’rate of about 1,500 per urntL.— Duiing the thirteen months ending Jan uary Ist, 187 G, 15.297 copy rights were issued. Mrs. Livermore says there are 5,500,000 superfluous women in this country,but they wantseaDskin sacques pull-backs silks, four-Lutton kids, and striped stockings just the same as if they weren’t superfluous. I'A UOUi'l DVH ulw* J w vlv.glito- Wt\C* married on Tuesday at Nashville Tenn.. to Mr. Latta, a lawyer of Knoxville. — The wedding was an impor‘ant event, and was attended by a number of prom'- incut and distinguished people, A Wisconsin editor illustrates the prevailing extravaganee of the people of the present day by calling attention to the costly babyxea r gei in use now, while when he was a baby they hauled him by the hair of ihe head. It seems strange to the Pall Mall Ga zette that 70,000 Spanish V oops and 40,000 Cuban auxiliaries have been uu able in eight years to suppress an insur rection iu which, according to the Span ish not more than 800 Cuban whites are engaged. The Dutch are about to commence operations for draining the Zuydcr Zee, which has been a gulf of the German Ocean for six hundred years. The Haarlem papers talk of submerged cities which will be brought to view ; so that there is a spice of romance infused into the undertaking, reminding one of the legend respecting Lough Neagh, so ex quisitely enshrined in undying poetry t y Moore. Tiie Russian artillery are now testing anew rifled cannon, constructed to de liver its shot with great initial velocity viz : 1,5G0 feet in a second. The weight of the ball is only fourteen and a half lbs., and the cannon weighs but thirty lbs (1,080 English lbs). The Russian Government intend serving out these guns to the whole artillery force. These big guns, bv the way, are making war rather expensive. The Puke of Cumbiijge, in the course of a speech the other day, said that the cost of the 81-ton gun would be about £15,000, and every shot fired frrm it would cost £25. At this rate war is becoming a luxury which impecunious nations will find it difficult to indulge in. In San Fraawdsco the temperature of January Is but six or eight degrees cold er than in July From 9A.M. to 3 or 4 r. M. the day is usually clear and comfortably warm, when cold winds set in from the Pacific, frequetly.driving be fore thorn the densest of fogs, and one is penetrated to the bone with the cold and humidity of the atmosphere. The winds prevail until 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening, when it again turns-warm, and the nights especial'y if it be clear and moonlight until 12 o’clock, is as balmy can be desired. Then comes another ; change; the temperature is lower and the city is enveloped in fogs until late in tb,o morning. OFFICIAL CORRUPTION. The recent developments in the case of W. W. Belknap, the Secretsrv of War, who bud been aroused of taking bribes and using his office as a means of corruption, which fact he confessed and begged fir mercy, pr diced a sensation over the whole country. His wife, who has been a oouapicious figure in Wash ington Society, was a confederate iui his crimes and a bonificiary to the frarudent ly secured, •uids.’ Her costly raiment jewels and lares, dazzled in the eyes of beholders, and she reignoi a queen from whotne simple recognition was con sidered an honor among - the ladies at the capital. The developments of cor ruption were made by the Democrat ic Investigating Couirn tteo, from state' m r nt made by one Caleb I*. Marsh tha 1 the Secretary had been selling post traderships for a considerable length of time for large amounts of money. There is no doubt but taut similar systems of corruption have been carried on by Oth er of Grant’s officials, uninterrupted, and that Grant himself has betn cog. n izant of it, and perhaps such a state of affairs might have gone on for a long time hut fur the vigilance of the Denia ocrats. Now that the work has begun other exposures are sure to follow. — Robeson and several others of the cabinet will be pulled down next, and the President himself made to tremble in his boots, as there is little doubt but that he has been in some way secretly connected with the corruption of his of ficials. The New York Suu has shown where' Ingalls, the Quartermaster-Gen . oral appointed over Meigs, an efficient officer, some time ago made a present of a costly watch to the President’s wife and afterwards secured his present po sition. This vile corruption brings shame upon our government and the stench from the present administration is sickennig to every true American.— Such a filthy fabric must surely crum ble at the next Presidential election, when the honesty of the lan ! call for a full reckoning and constitute a rule of purer and better men. We once lead of a scaree-crow which notonly frightened off every other crow but frightened one so bad that he brought back the corn he had stolen three days before. If Uncle Ssm could only in vent something to make the thieving officials disgorge all they have stolen, the national debt wou.d be reduced.— Hartford Times. Tiie London Press is severe on tho KuHr.i.ijp Jicgiooo. Tho Standard says “ happily the countries are few where so gross an abuse of trust would be pos sible.” The Times says “ even we Europeans cannot but be struck with the altered toces in which Amer icans speak, if not of their insti tutions, at least of the men who have the present direction of them.’ 7 The Telegraph says—“ the general effect, beyond denial, has been to bring the blush of shame and anxiety into the face of honest Americans, 77 and the News “ refers to the whisky fraud tn> als, the Emma mine scandal, and the downfall of Belknap, and says that those scandals lift the veil from a class of society which it was hitherto pretty generally supposed had as yet escaped the impurities of tho social strata be low, and they lead one to fear that some of the worst vices of .municipal govern ment may be percolating into the fed eral administration. 77 The thrill of horror and dismay which ran through the country at the news of .Secretary Belknap’s disgrace will lose its compensating effect if the event is regarded merely as a case of individual depravity. It differ in de* gree, but not in kind, from hundreds of instances of official misconduct, a 1 of which, it may be added, follow as di redly as effect can follow cause from the total absence in Washington of all personal responsibility of anybody for an)thing. Secretary Belknap has been for six or seven years, as far as the pub i : e was concerned, the shadow of a name. If he wanted anything ,in his department, instead of slaving and de* lending it Prankiy in debate before the country, he was obliged to lobby in private with committees of Congress.— On the other hand, nut o much as a question could bo publicly asked with relations to he w rkings of that de partmeut without the consent of Con gross. And so the rottenness was cov ered up. until tfc tdvent of a Democrat ic majority disclosed it to grace iu the eyes ef the word in our Genteuniil year. —Boston Advertiser. “Doing Nothing ” —The Radical ed itors and correspondents are diily say ing v “the House is doing nothing. ’ — You needn’t'be alarmed. But the Hoime has dene a great deal. It is sa-ving from §20,000.000 to 640 000,000 from the grasp of thieves. It is unearthing Eur.tna mine frauds. It is exposing the Indian robberies. It is bting tig Belknap and iiis War Department to tin account. It brings Schenck home in a hurry to explain. It is getting at the Nary department swindles. It is exposing and trying to correct the great Pos Office frauds. Coming together, in anew Congress, many of tne members never having serv ed before, they have in ninty days made gieat progress in the wo~k of retrench ment and uprooting the worst of corrifp® (ions and frauds. What has the Senate done ?—Hartford Times. A Lucky Naval Contractor. New York March 9—lt is report ed in Wall street* that when Secretary Robeson went into office he borrowed 81,QUO to make a presoutablo appear® a nee ami that today ho is wortli not less than 82,000,000. It is the firm belief of those who know what they are talking about that millions upon millions have been squan dered upon favorites by the De partment ev r since the commencement of th* war, and that the squandering or plundering i. still a pleasant opera tion. Let uie cite briefly one case. A con> tractor w o has hud hold of the navy teat for years and who two years ago lived in a 87.000 rosii mee, now iives in one that cost, with its surroundings 8250 000. ’1 lie palace was built for himself by day’s work, and has nearly three years in course of erection. he furniture in it came partly from Paris, and costs 870 000. The stable built near the resi/ dence is better fitted for God’s honest offspring than fot the shelter of dumb beasts. But this is not all. Said contractor in addition to the above, has become tho owner, since his connection with the Navy Department of hundreds of acres of land and valuable buildings and stores, which he has cither erected or puichased. Indeed, he is ranked as the wealthiest man in the county in which ho resides, and that is .ot an hour’s distance from the city. These are the carts, and they carry their o wn com ments. gnu gotvertiscmctttl ’ THIS PAPER IS on FILo, WITH - 11 “ q, fffd - ~zp Where Advertising Centrs its cas be tb/ia A DAY at home.

This New Family Machine is capa ble of a range and variety of work such as was once thought impossible so perform by machinery, We claim and can show th;U it is the cheape.t, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely a Ijlisted, easily operated, and smoothly running of all the family sewing machine's. It is remarkable, net only fo: the range and variety of its sew ing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture which it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fineor coarse, making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch , and, in a moment, this willing and never wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fihgers have been known to perforin. Ours having long been t he popular and praqjjcal maebiSLos fof manufacturing pur poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of trade,” take advantage of this in trying to persuade purchasers that our Family Ma chine is not equal, for family ser.'ing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes. But purchasers—and they are apt tt/ examine carefully before choosing have not been merely persuaded, but con vinced that our new family" achine embod ies new and essential principles—simplicity ot construction : ease of operation ; uni formity of precise action at any speed ; ca pacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse - leaving all rivals beuind it.
