r r- ; ; ; rr-r -J, OFFICE: No. 13 Tenth Street, Thornton's Building. DAILY EDITION, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1869. 11 JOHNH. OBERLY& CO AN UNWARRANTED DISCRIMINA TION. We aro pleased to observe on the part of tbo Illinois Press Association, a dis position manifested to demand from tho law-making power of Illinois abeflttlnB recognition of tbe claims of the prow. Tho existing laws, regulating tho prices for tbe publication of tax sale notices, estrny notices, etc., are an Insult to every Intelligent publisher in tho State. Tno amouutn named as adequate compensa tion for such publications are, simply, In sulting. They scarcely repay the cost of tho composition; butto arguo wlthsomo peoplo tho contrary, is to lose time and waste breath. "Tho law allows ,so much aud they'll pay no more." Wo hold it to bo a gross assumption of authority on the part of the legislature to touch this matter at all. Printing Is a legitimate, respectable, and should be, an untrammelled and unrestricted oc cupation. Tho legislature has no more right to say whaUhe prices of tho prin ter or publisher shall be, than it haH to regulate tho wages of carpenters and blacksmiths, or to fix the pi ices to be charged by merchants and physicians save only when tho patronage Is directly under its control, as In tho case of pub lishing public laws. No reasonable, rational discrimination against the pub lisher can bo made; aud the representa tives of the press owe it to themselves, to the dignity of their calling to resent every attempt In that direction, as un warrantable and insulting. The laborer can fix a prico upon his labor; tho grocer upon his goods; but tho publisher a if he were a scoundrel, from whose extor tions tho public required protection; or an idiot who kuuw nothing about his own business is told by an "itmnonsely wise" legislature that for certain services rendered his neighbor or patron he can collect so much and no more! Isn't It about time for tho editorial fra ternity todemund "equal rights" in this regard to teach our law-makers that, al though wo aro merely editors and pub lishers, we have rights that they must aud shall respect? Wo think so, aud therefore receive with sincere satisfac tion tho Intimations already thrown out that this mutter will receive at tho hands of the Press Association the action its importance demands. OJt A IN AND FLOUJt B USINES'S A T CAIllO. We extract the following paragraph, referring to the through grain trade and Cairo Uour market, from tho correspond ence of tho P&ducah 'Kontuckian :' We And tho merchants and other bus iness men of tho city In line spirits, In anticipation of u brilliant future for them. As the great "grain strugglo" bo tweon Bt. Louis and Chicago is likely to terminate in favor of tho former city, which fact will briug Chicago capitalists here to Intercept the trade, which can he done, In part, at all seasons, aud In full during the winter season when tho river above is locked up with Ice. One Chi cago company has already erected an elevator here which is capable of hand ling somo 250 car loads of freight per day. This is already one of the best flour markebi in the West. During tho mouth of March Inst there were shipped from here 50,122 barrels, excluslvo of that which was shipped by river from above, aud this is during a season when tho river wad not free from ice above. The olevator of which mention is made is proprlotored by Messrs. Buckingham, of Chicago, who tuko rank among tho most prominent grain operators In tho United States. ThobulidiiiK has a stor- ago capacity of about 600,000 bushels, and facilities for elevating about l2(),uuu bush els evory twonty.four hours. Tho Hour trade In Cairo is compara tively now, hut Is augmenting qulto rap idly, since tho fact has beon repeatedly demonstrated thnt our merchants can aud do maintain a successful competi tion with tit. Louis. UNIONISM THAT DOESN'T PAY. Tho President nominated Colonel Crowe, an ox-robel, for the Governorship of Now Moxico, and tho radical senate continued him, to supersede tho present governor, Col. Mitchell, who was a union ofllcerand did gallant sorvice. Governor Mitchell hus undoubtedly , ascertained that unionism In his case doesn't pay. This sanio rebel Crowo gave him and his little command a whipping in Missouri durlug tho war, aud now he turns up again and kioks him out of a cozy office. This is the way tho, radical pack at Washington rowards the country's de serving heroes. An exchange paper tells the following: "Ono olthe iusano In the Raleigh (N.C.) asylum recently visited tho Legislature Upon his roturu, ,tho '.superintendent asked him what ho thought of it. Re lapsing into n 'brown study! for a mo ment, no looked up and suld: 'Well, I think they aro a branch of this. establish ment." Tho area of Minnesota Is 84,000 square miles, or 63,700,000 acres larger tuau tho six Now England States. Hi Rrlgham Young's Salt Lake City the atre employs a company of thirty-two actors, all butr ouo of whom are Mor ILLINOIS PRESS ASSOCIATION. Meeting In tho Athcncum Yesterday F. M.

Mr. Blrdsall offered the following reso lution, which was, on motion, laid on the tablo: Resolved, That hereafter, other things being equal, It is policy for the publish ers of Illinois to purchase their stock fiom parties who are engaged exclusively In the paper trade, and In sustaining es tablishments which are actively engaged in competition with us In printing, there by aiding them to cut our own throats. Mr. Bangs moved that tho chair ap point one member to prepare an essay upon each of tho topics presented by the business committee at the morning ses sion; said essays to bo limited to twenty minutes each Adopted. Tho president read two telegrams from A. Murdock, esq., president of the Mo bllo aud Ohio railroad, inviting the mem bers to visit Columbus, Miss., on their return from Mobile.

Adopted. On motion, adjourned to meet at the call of the president. i&ssa - A correspondent of tho Paducah ,Kou tucklim' writing from Cairo, confessed himself fascinated by the good looking dining room girls of tho St. Charles hotel. Feasting on their beauty and graces no rorgot nts victuals, ho says, however, that If tho Introduc tion of theso haudsome girls Into the dining room was a trick of Swift's to economize "grub," it is altogether par donable. So it goes. When a Paducahite comes to Cairo he loses his heart. When a Calrolto goes to Paducah ho losos his pocket book. A lot of dead-beats have been playing Cuban patriots in New Orleaua and New York, bleeding tho' sympathizers with tho revolt roundly. hi Judgo Marcus Mortou, of the'superlor court of Boston, has been confirmed as justice of the supremo court of Massachu setts, vice Hoar, It'ls charged, and not denied; that carpot-bagger Governor Welis of Vir ginia, has made $100,000 by compjjeity with tho whisky ring. Tho New Tfbrfc 'Revolution' wants married woman to retalu their maiden names. Let it also insist that all mar ried woman support their husbands; fter which marrlago will increase 'in popularity. The claims against the Stato of Ohio for damages, done to property of citizens by General John Morgan during his brief raid ln(o that State, amount to $-570,-226. Tho Impression among disinterest ed parties Is that If the claimants would compromise on the $225 they would get very near as much as they lost. Anna Dickinson's lecture at Leaven worth, Kansas, netted $532. Bomo of the seats brought four dollars aplcco at auc tion. Dir.D.
