ous issue of now books, new law iuaga
zincs and ronorts. Ac, which aro Hood
ing tho profession. It was a timely
suggestion nnd ought to comu to some
practical result without delay. If wo
had in raonev what our books have
cost U', wo could procuro a combined
library, and a house to nut it in, and
have a balance at tho banker's.
lVnilt me however to call your at
tention to a smaller matter than the
above, but one of considerable import
ance, and of continuous expense nud
annoyance to every lawver at the bar,
And it is a iiuisnnco.which I believo can
bo abated, under the law. and ought to
bu abated. a
As I read the Act of Assembly of
1C Juno 183C Section 03, P. L. :"2,
"The sheriff shall nive notice of every
sale of real estato by advertisement,
describing tho same, and the time and
place of sale, as aforesaid, in at least
two newspapers printed in tho county
whero such real estato may be" The
Sheriff shall do so. Does not that
act put tho matter in his hands, and
certainly in tho absence of a Rulo of
Court, leavo it there ; and not subject
to the whim, or caprico or choice if
you will of the client or counsel f The
doctrine that the counsel controls his
writ is sound as to whether ho will
sell on it or stay it or any such matter,
but the advertisement is the business
of the sheriff, and ho is responiiblo for
the faithful performance ot that duty
and for its proper performance.
Aud now for the application of what
I havo been savine to the caso in
hand.
There aro five newspapers published
in Columbia county. Hut two of them
can cet the sheriff's advertisinc, no
matter who controls it ; and I am will
ing to (zraut to tho attorney in the
writ, tho courtesy of a suggestion as
to one of them ; but what about the
other four 7 Mv own opinion is, and
such I think to be a proper construct
ion of the law, that tho sheriff should
select some one newspaper into which
all his official advertisinc should ao-
and in oases of sales of real estato the
other paper to bo selected by tho conn
eel in the writ,not as a matter of right,
but as a matter of courtesy.
As tho matter is now, in orJer to be
sure that we havo seen all the sheriff's
a'cs wo must subscribe for five news
papers, where with proper legal and
courteous adjustment, one would suf.
fice. Reform is tho order of the day,
and in this matter, compliance with
tho law and economical management
co hand in hand. In some counties
there is a Rule of Court on the subject.
1 doubt the propriety, if not the legal
ity of a Rule ot Court, and am convmo
ed that this'suggestion is both cour
teous and legal and proper. Yours Ao
Lex.
VVe are pleased to bo able to an
nounce to the members of tho bar that
all tlw sheriff's advertisinc wiil appear

Death Galls Again.
SECRETARY BAYARDS WIKK CltOSSES THE
PARK RIVER.
Mrs. Bayard, wife of tho Secretary
of State, died at her residence, in
Washincton. at 8.30 o'clock Sunday
morning. The immediate cause of
Mrs. Bayard's death was congestion of
the braiD, brought on by the shock ot
her daughter's sudden death three
weeks aco. For the first week follow
ing that event sho stood tho strain and
excitement quite well, but a week ago
last Friday sho was compelled to tako
to her bed, and gradully grew woiso
from day to day. Oo Thursday con
gestion of the brain made its appear
anco. Sho was unconscious for
tweutv-four hours befoio her death.
Although for years Mrs. Bayard had
been a confirmed invalid, sho had for
the last six months been in better
health than for many years. Last
summer she was very ill at her home
in Wilmington. Del., with a compli
cation of di-eases of the liver and
Htomacl: and her recovery at that Unit
was considered doubtful. At thc so
limitation of her daughter, Miss Kate,
she nut herself under the oaro of Dr,
Gardner, of Washington aud wider
his treatment she had improved so
much as to bo able to go into society
this winter, and although still an inva
lid, sho was in comparatively good
health when her dauchter died. She
was about 51 years of ace. With the
exception of her daughter, Mrs. War
ren. of Boston, and her son who is in
Arizona, the family were present when
sho died. The body was taken to
Wilmington for burial on Monday, and
the funeral was held there on Tuesday
The death of Mrs. Bayard will havo a
marked o fleet on social festivities at
the capital.''
The President was immediately
notified of Mrs. Bayard's death nnd ho
at once sent Colonel Lamont with
note of condolence to the Secretary,
and later in the diy Miss Clnvelnnd
called at tho house. Mr. Bayard askod
that no official demonstration be made,
and the President did not co to Wi
inlucton. Several members of the
Cabinet, however, attended tho funeral.
Cabinet omceH, Senators, uepresen
tativee. diplomats and publio men cen
erally called at tho Bayard mansion to
nxpror-s their sympathy wun mo oecro

Commonwealth against Holland.'
Charles R. Holland was indicted at
September Sessions for tho theft of
some siiouiucre, nams, biuq mem, suns
aces. &o. from John A. Sbuman, of
Mam township, on tho 18th day of last
May. Tho case was continued at that
term, and December, and was called
up on Tuesday last, and is still on trial.

Little, Ikeler & Herring icprusent

B.irklov and Jaekson defend tho

Tim first witness was John A. Shu
man, who proved tho theft of his meat.
Alice Kelly testified that sho went with
Abe Whipple and Cuarles Holland in
tho night with Dan Seybert's horse
and wagon, and diovo down tho river
about half a milt below "Yankee
.Shanty," where they (.topped, left her
in the wagon, and went up the hill and
weiogone about ten minutes, when
Uiey returned with two bags full of
meat. They returned to seyucu a and
tho next dav Whipple and his wifo
took tho meat to Wilkcs-Barro nnd
sold it to William Bower, a grocory-
mnnt Mrs, Whipple and Mrs. Card, a
sister of Abo Whipple, corroborated
this story, and William Bowers testi
fied ns to tlio meat nounni, as 10 an in
terview with Holland, nnd as to n
great many othor matters that wero
relovant and irrelevant. Ho was very
talkative and many of his answers, or
moro especially his manner ot answer
iug, amused tho largo audience that
constantly filled tho court room. He
admitted that ho had been drunk on
Tuesday, nnd it wai quito npparont
that ho was mt in much better condi
tion while on tho stand. When dls-
nissed ho mnd6 for tho most conven
icnt bar, and in the afternoon, when re-
ca led to the witness stand he was so
drunk that the court sent him to jail to
sober up.

and Holland wns employed by a num

Tho Publio Sohool Sjstom.
That a system of public education,
is a fundamental bulwark for tlio per
petuity and safety of our Institutions'
was apparent to the fathers of our
commonwealth at an early day. Tho
masses hailed witli joy tho glorious
advent of a system that was about to
do hrono the power of ignoranco from
the leciti mato domain ot leason over
which it swayed the seeptt r with ty
ranmcal sulleuness, in submission to
which there was no alternaVivo but
acquiessence with slavish indifference.
No sooner was tliQ king felt want sup.
plied with all its inperfections, than a
now era dawned upon tlio lutiire great
Hess of our grand old state.
The system, in its discretionary powers
is Gradually crowing from a serviceable.
public machinery, beneficiary in all its
effects, to an oligarchy of speculative
monopoly, mandatory and compulsory
in all its operations, mat tlio people
havo suffered trequent abuses trom in
tricueing agents and self interested

patience, is an undeniable fact. But
they however had a remedy in the law,

THE ASTOUNDING) STORY TOLD 11Y SURVEY
OR-CENERAI. DI JIENT.
W. E. Curtis, a well known Wosh
ington correspondent, in a special from
Washington says:
Uichard b. Uemcni, or Illinois, who
was appointed surveyor gcueral of
Utah last Fall, arrived hem Thuisday
afternoon and was up all night and
most of yesterday with Commissioner
bparks at the Land Office, and has had
a long interview with Secretary Lamar.
jUr. Dement brings with linn a trunk
full ot documents and a most extraor
dinary story.
It appears that when ho went t
Utah ho was instructed by the Secre.
tary of the Interior to make a through
examination of tho laud offices of Utah
and wns authorized to employ what
over assistance was necessary. Mr,
Dement says that before he weut to his
post he secured tho services of four
skillful detectives, who were set at
work at once. They had not gone far
in their investigations of tlio land
offices when they discovered clues
which led to an inquiry into tho official
conduct ot the other branches of tlic
Government there, and Mr. Dement
claims to havo secured evidence which
will fill all tho jails of Utah with
officials and ex-officials.
lie says that within the last ten
years there havo been committed
Utah the most astounding frauds that
wero ever perpetrated on the American
continent, and his discoveries not only
cover the officials in tho territory, but
involve senators, members of Congress
and former officials of tho Interior De
partment. Hu claims to have secured
through-hW detectives, documentary
evidence to substantiate these remark
able assertions, and that Secretary
Lamar am) Commissioner Sparks li.ivo
already been convinced by them,
'lheso mysterious documents are said
to disclose the transactions of the Mor
mon agents in Washington, and the
means they have used to prevent legis
lation nnd securo favorable decisions
by tho Supremo Court of the United
Mates. According to 31r. Dement
story ho has covered all tho Mormon
iniquities in two mouths' work by him
sen and lour detectives.
ueiurnng nrsr, 10 mo discoveries in
tho Land Office, Mr. Dement says ho
has proofs to show that uearly all of
the publio lands in Utah have been
stolon either by the railroad companies
or tho Bottlers! that about 50 per cent
of tho entries by Mormons havo been
fraudulent, and about 25 per cent of
thoso that havo beon made by Gentiles
are of tho tamo character. Minoral
lands havo been entered as homesteads
and rich farming country as desert-
ands. Thcso frauds, Mr. Dement
claims, have been not only winked at,
but participated in by tho Federal
officials in ami outside the Land Office,
and there is a ring in which have join
d nil the Federal officials, from tho
Governor down, for the plunder of tho
Government.
Mr. Dement says that tho Mormons
havo spent an enormous cmount of
money in Washington during tlm last
four or llvo years in attempting to do.
feat legislation and prevent adverse
decisions by tho courts, and ho has
necured documents to show to whom
thu funds have bton paid.
When asked what congressmen nro
involved, Mr. Dement said that most
of them wero Democrats, but thero aro
several Republicans on thu list, onu of
whom, a Weslern Republican senator, ' Houso for receiving tho people as have

Mr. Dnnii'iit has shown his docu
ments nnd told his story to one Repub
lican Senator, nnd that is Gctur.il

greatest nmnzenent at tho disclosures.
Ho will have an interviow with tho

Tim nnVial head of Richard S. De

United States surveyor general lor
Utah, is in serious danger. Ho win
appointed about two months ago, but,
unless a transformation should oecur in
10 minds of Senators leltfr, iilnxoy
ml Coke, ho will never bo confirmed.
Ho made sensational statements about
and frauds In Utah, and accused sen
ators and members ot congress oi
having been bribed by the railroad
corporations and monopolists of tho
West at prices ranging from $13,000
to 825,000. He indicated tho geo-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular correspondent.
Washington. ,D. C. Feb. 1, 1880.
The nrocecdincs of the week in Con
gress have been partly overshadowed
in interest by tho fight which the Re
publicans of tho Senate have forced
Willi mo AominiHinn-uu.
nakers havo not bi en idle, however,
although there has been biu little legis
Intion to; speak of for their industry.
Both ends ot the uapuoi gave one nay
to obituary eloquence. It was given
by the Senato in memory of Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks, by thu House, in
memory of the late Kepieseiila-
tivo Kllwood ot Illinois.
Then Dakota has consumed a largo
p hare of the Senate's time, and debate
on this question promises to be long.
Interest in Dakota's affairs and de
mands has been enchanced during the
discussion by the presence on the floor
of tho Bcnato ot her iwo nspirauui iur
Senatorial honors, Messrs Moody and
Kdgerlon. They aro similar m ap
pearance, both being large, portly men
with short grey beards. They listen
to every word that is said about their
territory, and occasionally furnish a
speaker with some data or some cx-
piauauon inai is uetueu.
The Republicans of the Senato do
not rest easy with a majority of eight.
They are trying to get additional
strength in Dakota, and aro planning
to capture Washington and .Montana
Territories m tho near future with
Idaho in tho distance. They havo
not forgotten that but for Colorado
coming in JHiO, ino nayes iraim
would never have been consummated.
During the week the Houso of Hcn-
resentitivcs has talked a great deal on
unimportant subjects, has quarreled a
good deal to no purpose, and has pass
ed fifty litllo pension bills. I have
alluded boforc to tho many new pen
sion schemes that havo.been introduced
into the present Congress, besides all
of the old ones ot the last Congress
that have come up fresh again. Con
gressmen seem to vio with each other
in proposing absurd plans for increas
ing pensions. It they wero all carried
into effect they would bankrupt tho
Treasury of the United States. And
tho worst teature ot every new pension
proposal is the demagogic spirit it in
evitably awakens in botli parties in
Congress. Many of them are not
oven seriously intended, their real ob
ject being to ensnaro and capture what
is known as the soldier vote.
Thn President's refusal of the Sen
ate's latest demand for papers has been
thu topic of discussion here for tho
past three days. The papers called
for wero thoeo bearing upon tho offio
ial character of n District Attorney of
southern Alabama, lhey were in
the custody of tho Lnw department,
and ret erred exclusively tn tho susjien
sion of the late incumbent, i he ben-
ate, in secret session, wns notified by
Allorncy-ticner.il uarlaud that ii was
not considered promotive of public in
teresls to comply with its i t quest for
thu transmission of tho documents
mentioned.
Sonio of tho Republican Senators
who do not believe in trying to extort
leisons from tho President, nud who
havo peen forced into this attitude by
tho caucus, are disposed to bo ricaleit
rant, itumor nas it that there aro
three, who are so much opposed to the
stand taken by their brethren that
tlio mammy aro extremely anxious
about them. Mr. Edmunds has been
accused by these disaffected Senators
ot waging Hostilities against tho Ad
ministration in the hope of improving
ins chance torre-eiection to ihobenato,
If the President had been beaten hu
would havo obtained the credit of
having mado a good parly light.
The Democratic Senators caucused
again and wero all in favor of support
ing tho President, believing him to be
right in maintaining his constitutional
prerogative. Senators of both parties
seem to think tho issue is pretty well
mado up now, and thai for some time
ai least, mere win uo no action upon
