PUBLICATION OF THE LAW S IX
NEWSPAPERS.
Tlio Legislative enactment of last
-session, providing for tlic publication of
sll the laws of the State, tn nt least two
newspapers in each county, is under
going a revision. Some of the emend
dmenis proposod are well enough in
themselves, though injurious in their
effects; whilst others are unworthy of
the dignity which in our minds is gener
ally attscheii to the low making power.
The publication of ocalaws in lo
calities that they do not effect is un
necessary, yet the amount that is paid
for their publication is a public .bene
faction. The small pittance that is me-
ted out to the publisher of a country
newspaper, is not the shadow of a com
pensation for the labor he performs by
day and by night, taxing the utmost en-
. ergies of soul and body, in his conlinu-
. ous effort to lay beforcjiis readers such
information as shall he productive of
the greatest benefit to till. With the
present facilities for the publication of
newspapers on an extended plan, there
Is an inducement to engage in their pub
lication in our principal cities, where
large subscriptions can be obtained, and
large amounts of advertising procured;
but the publisher of a country newspa-
- per, with the fact staring him in tho face,
that with the utmost success that can at
tend his efforts, he cannot possibly se
cure any more than a bore competence,
. lie must necessarily possess a philanthro
pic spirit to engage in the business.
And yet, he is as necessary to the heal
thy developement of the body politic, as
.. -Bj;efood.auljiTn-.ijw to that of the nhv?
. steal body. What but the press could
have brought the people of this happy
.republic to the piominent, envious, and
powerful position they occupy in the
. short space of three fourths of a century?
By what other means can the same a-
. mount of useful and wholcso.ne, scien
tific, political and moral influences be
brought to bear upon the minds of the
. jnass of mankind? We paus-e in vain
Tor a reply. We challenge those wise
beads that by dint of scavenging for
popularity, are under a pretence of ccono-
my, taking the bread from the mouths
of those who made them, to point out
any other source from which flows so
many public benefits, ns that of the
newspaper press. And still further,
honorable sirs, wo challenge you to
point out anjr system proposed for the
public benefit, whether real or chimeri-
tal, that hns hitherto received less of
your material fostering aid, than the
press; while, in comparison to this, all
others sink into insignificance. It is
unnecessary to multiply words upon a
subject so palpably plain to all discern
ing minds. We simply say, that in view
of the facts as they'exist that the news
paper is the people's sehoolruastcr
-'"lhat the dollar laid out for a family
""Tlewspaper, is not only the safest, but in
finitely the most profitable investment
that a man ran make that tlio power
ful competition of the city press com
pels the country publisher to work ol-
. most for nothing; that the efforts now
making to reduce the price of publica
tion of the laws, thereby rendering null
. and void this isolated act, that was a
pecuniary benefit, (to a limited extent,
. la true,) to the country press, is not only
small, but it is niggardly.
Honorable Gentlemen commence
.their business at nine or ten o'clock in
the morning, and loungo and dispute.
and dispute and lounge, for three or
Tor hours in a .day, and vote themselves

etriet actions of economy they would

the rivulets of thought that spring from

flow on, until they are lost in the bound
less oceancf freedom that is destined to
deluce the whole earth, and "make glad
tho Isles of the sea.". .
Wo verily b"lievo that each county
would save money by furnishing a news
psper to each family within its limits
No other system of public education
could be so certain or uniform in its ef
fects, or accomplish so much good for
the same expenditure.
We soy $1 per 1,000 ems for the pub
lication of laws in the newspapers is
only a fair compensation. .
Taxes and the Liquor Traffic.
Wo have received a communication
prepared from the official record of the
Court, on which wo have no time to
comment this week as follows:
WHEHE THE PEOPLE'S MONEY COES.
Ei). Beo : I wish to call tho attention
of the tax payers of Lawrence County to
a few items that may be of interest to
them.
Number of criminal causes occurring
before Magistrates and Mayors in Law
rence County, during the year 1852, ami
which have been certified up for the
county to pay, 54.
Cost to tin county of these 54 cases,
$047,10.
Number of these cases caused by in
toxicating liquor, 40!
Average cost of each case 911,08.
Number of State cases decided in the
Common Picas during the year 1852,
44.
Number oi these occasioned by intox
icating liquor, 38. .
Cost of these cases to the county
(1802,00.
Average cost of each case $18 00.
To which should be added, cost of
Grand Jury, counsel fees, ccc, $825,00,
Add also Sheriff's fees, attend'ts, guards,
ixc, $150,00; making a total cost to the
county during the year 1852, of $2514,-
10 not counting extra expenses, inci
dental matters &c. Of this amount it is
not probable the county will ever recov
er buck 300.
Whole No. of State causes in court
and before Magistrates during the year,
08. Whole No. occasioned by the use
of liquor, 84, being six sevenths of the
entire number.
No. of State causes in the Common
Pleas Court not yet disposed of 84. Of
these 50 are known to have originated
from iiitoxicatiu.2 liquor 1 Ami it ! lm.
licved that whisky was en active agent
in some two or threo of the others.
The.e will probably cost the county an
average of $20 each, bofore they are fi
nally disposed of 'and still they come.'
Now, out of all this expense to the
people, a few liquor sellers are the privi
leged class that reap all the benefit a
few men, the privileged aristocracy, liv
ing entirely upon the proceeds of others
(non-producers themselves,) at the ex
pense of the county.
I ask the lax payers of Lawrence coun
ty if these things ought so to be? I esk
the poor men, the laboring men of the
county, who are struggling hard to sup
port their families, if they are satisfied
with this state of affairs.
A TAX PAVER.
Micronesia.
There is a group of Islands a few days
sail from the Sandwich Islands which
contain some fifty thousand inhabitants.
We learn from the late Pacific News
that they have been visited, and cstab
lishments started to civilize them. The
missionary schooner spent some five
days at Tari-Tari, on Pitt's Inland; also
Strong's some six hundred miles distant.
White men were found in all of them.
The Missionaries were kindly received,
and at the urgent request of the King of
Strong's Island, two of the families con
eluded to stop. All needed, aid was
promised them. From Strong's the
schooner sailed for Ascension. "There
were a great many white men" on it, but
very much degraded. The Missionnr
ies concluded to settle on the south por
tion of this Island, among tho Killei
tribe.
This must be regarded as the first civil
izing process of theso savages, begun,
too, in the Sandwich Islands, only late
ly redeemed from barbarism. The three
white clergymen and their wives and
the two Hawaiins and their wives,' are
to be supported by the churches of the
latter. Is not this a fact worth consider
ing by the foes of Missions? Does it not
illustrate their benificence?
, .PaeTTr well Salted. In 1840, the
largest boat-load of salt that ever left
the Kanawha for one market, being
nesr 1,800 barrels, of near eight bushels
to the barrel, was lost in that river, by
coming la contact with some obstruc
tion, which, it is alleged, the company
who improved thai stream and enjoy its
revenues should have had nnid. Last
week the owner of the boat and areo.
Mr. S. H. Early, obtained verdict of
$0,401 7 J, -with costs.

Spread of Republicanism Southward.
Many of the States of Central and
South America arc republican only in
name, and we aro glad to see, therefore,
that, ns the northern people move south
ward, they infuse among the inhabitants
of those regions along with some ques
tionable practices, not worse, however,
than they indulged in before betterno
lions of the true principles of govern
ment. The Yankees, as they ore called, arc
much abused by foreigners for an alleg
ed propensity to invade the territories of
their neighbors, but if the "Yankees
will only carry with them, wherever they
go, the sound political doctrines which
are their common faith, they will be ac
quitted of all tho evils of their interfer
ence, ns w ell by the people they benefit,
as by the disinterested judgment of pos
.erity. A Panama paper, the other day, sum
ming up tho advances which had been
recently made by the State ol New
Grenada, referred to tho following:
1st. The law which declares free all
the slaves in tho republic, and indemni
fies the masters. This law was demand
ed by a vest majority of the people, and
though it did not encounter the obstacles
existing in .some other countries, be
cause of tho small number of slaves and
the low price of Ubor, the claims of rea
son and christiunity still had .their op
ponents. I
2d. The destruction ol tho tobacco
monopoly, the good effects of which are
already felt.
3.1. Trial by juiy in certain cases,
and the intention to extend it to others.
4th. The annulling of the privileges of
tho priests. This was demanded by rea
son, justice and the state of the world,
and is indispensable in a republic; ec
clesiastical, liko military privileges,
being incompatible with liberty.
5th. The abolition of tithes and the
surplice tax.
0th. The right of parishioners to elect
their curates. This power has heretofore
been exercised by the executive.
7th. The entire liberty ef the press.
8th. Free education tlio obstacles in
the way of the poor in getting admission
to the bar and to every branch of learn
ing being removed, by reducing or ubol
ishing fees for titles and degrees.
. 0th. The divisions ef tho revenues
so necessary in a democratic republic,
as thoir centralization renders democra
cy a mere name, or makes the rulers
monarchical or absolute. The object of
the law is, to allow tho people to man
age their local governments! to which
the Unite:! States owe so much of thoir
prosperity.
lOih. The abolition of quarantines
and cordons of health, a most sensible
and economical measure.
11th. The abolition of capital punish
ment for political offences.
12th. Do of passports.
13th. Tho present contract with the
Panama Railroad Company.
14th. The contract to continue the
topographical survey of the Republic.
15th. The reform of the Constitution,
which now contains the germs of rapid
improvement, without Utopian exaggcr.
ations.
We perceive that the statesmen of
New Grenada, in accordance with the
last paragraph, are discussing other
great and extensive reforms. Dr. Plor
cntino Gonzalez, an apparently intelli
gent and energetic writer, proposes in
tho Gaceta OJJiciel,' de Medellin nine
columns of amendments to the existing
constitution. Most of these seem to us
to be well considered and judicious. "
,. Sis first object is to divide New Gren
ada into ten sovereign and independent
states, for the purpose of internal legist
lation, under one federal head, the same
as the United States and to 'adopt the
name for at of the " Columbia . Confeder
ation.", These States, and all otperiHo
be admitted to the confederation, are to
hare a thoroughly republican conatilu
lion, arid to pledgo ttornsclves te abide
by the conditions othe association.
Among ihie indliponiable conditions
are the following ; .Elections by direct
vote; the absolute ieedom of the press;
the personal frecdon of every inhabitant
to the perpetual exclusion of slavery in
any form; the rlgh of religion worship
according tt the dictates of the individu
al consciepce; the right of property in
violuble by the State; the trial by jury,
the abolition of military power; and the
establishment of gratuitous primary
schools for both sexoi, . '
" He further proposes that ths "govern
ment of the confederation" shall be re
publican, elective and representative;
and that the individuals who hwe the
exercise of public power, shall be hold
responsible for the just discharge of their
duties. The logiMative power of tho
confederation is to consist of two branch
es or bodies, one to be called tho Senate
and the other the Chamber of Deputies.
The executive power shall be the Presi
dent of the confederation; and tho ju
dicial power shall consist of a Supreme
Court and tho judges and other tribun
als of justice as maybe, bylaw, estab
lished. These provisions, it will be seen, are
adoptod from the model of the United
States, and when they are carried into
effect by any of the southern republics,
woshull look for tho end of thoso civil
wars which have so long desolated the
fertile regions in which they are placed.
THE IlIl'LKV TRAGEDY.
Robert Peters, who was shot on Wed
nesday, by Charles Baird, whose sister
he had seduced ond refused to marry,
was still living when the Kenton passed
Ripley yesterday, but there was little
probability of his recovery.
Baird was in California when the
news of his sister's ruin reached him; he
immediately left his business and scarce
ly took rest or food till ho reached Rip.
Icy. He sought an interview with Pe
ters, and used every argument and eve
ry orgument and every intreaty to in.
duco him to make tho only reparation
left possible. Baird finally offered Pe
ters three thousand dollars of his hard
earning, if ho would marry her. When
this was refused, Baird drew his pistol
and shot the seducer, with tho intention
as he frankly overs, of killing him on
tho spot. Miss Baird is said to be par
tially deranged. The utmost sympathy
is felt in Ripley for Baird and his sister.
Peters is a tailor, and foiracrly worked
in the establishment of Mr. Haddox in
this city.
Another version of the story is, that
Miss Baird was engaged to a man na
med Patterson, who refused to marry
her, on account of roreiving a letter
from Peters, in which he stated that he
had frequently had illicit intercourse
with Miss B., and advised Patterson
not to marry her. Baird was written to
by his sister, informing him of her con
dition, and of Patterson's failure to per
form his obligations, and ho returned
home to settle the matter with him.
But in an interview with Patterson, he
learned the above facts, and was fur
nished with Peter's letter. He ackowl
edged it to be genuine, but declined
marrying tho woman he had so foully
wronged; and was punished, if not as
he ought to have been, yet in a way
which the natural feelings of every broth
cr will justify.
