Laws Relating to Newspaper Subserip.
tions and Arrearages.
The following is the law relating to newspapers and
enbscribers.
1. Subszribers who do not give express notice to the con
trary, are considered wishing to continue their sub
scription,
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their peri
odicals, the publishers may continue to send them until
t it an:eur, F es are paid.
3. If enbsciiriers neilect or refuse to take their periodicals
from the office to which they are directed, they are held
responsible until they nave settled their bills, and order
ed them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places without informing
the publiebers, and the papers are tent to the former di
rection, they are held responsible.
5. The Courts hare decided that •'refusing to take periodi
cals from the office, or removing anirleuring them un
called for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.
6• Any person who receives a newspaper and makes nee
of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to
be a subscriber.
7. If sub.. ibers pay in advance, they are bound to give
notice to the publisher, at the eud of their time, if they
do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the pub
lisher is authorized to send it on, and the mabscriber
will he reeponsible until an express notice, with payment
of all arrears, is sent to the publisher.

ne.. The report of the Commissioners
of the State Sinking Fund, just published,
shows that the debt of the Commonwealth
was reduced $194,416 35 from December
1, 1873 to March 31, 1874—an exhibit as
gratifying as it is creditable.
I€l. During the past twelve months
five ocean steamers have been lost. The
Atlantic City of'Washington, the Ismalia,
the Ville In Havre and the Europe, and
in all about eighteen hundred lives have
been sacrificed. These facts cry louder
than could all the newspapers of the land
that something is wrong.
Dom„ Business in New York, according
to the Tribune, is slowly reviving and re
turning to its wonted channels. The out
look, while encouraging, is not, however,
brilliant. The same state of affairs exists
everywhere, and will continue until the
business of the country is relieved by the
issuing of additional currency.
Mir Resolutions recognizing the inde
pendence of Cuba have been introduced
in the Senate, and this action is said to
foreshadow a change of policy by the Ad
ministration on this question. There is no
doubt that the recognition of the bellig
erency of the brave and persevering Cu
ban patriots would be a popular move.
as. Dr. Livingstone is to be buried in
Westminister Abbey, and the government
has undertaken to defray the expenses of
the funeral. It is a graceful and becoming
tribute of respect to the memory of a good
and true man. In thus honoring the mem
ory of the great missionary and explorer,
the British nation does honor to itself.
Ise_ We have received a pamphlet copy
of a letter addressed by Hon. Samuel Cal
vin, of Hollidaysburg, to Hon. Henry C.
Carey, of Philadelphia, on the defects of
our Financial and Monetary system and
the appropriate remedy. Mr. Calvin has
evidently given the subject much study
and advocates his peculiar views with much
force.
der On Saturday the 11th instant while
the National House of Representatives.had
Currency and Free Banking under consid
eration, Mr. Speer raised the point
that those who were concerned in Na
tional Banking were not entitled to vote
on the ground that they were interested
parties. The point created considerable
commotion but the Speaker finally decided
that they were entitled to vote.
Ng. The committee having the matter
in charge have reported to the House a
bill for the distribution of the Geneva
award. It does not differ substantially
from the bill presented at the opening of
the session by Gen. Butler. It will en
counter considerable opposition in the
House, on the ground that it works great
injustice to an important class of claimants,
and also on the ground that it is a breach
of the understanding before the tribunal,
and an act of bad faith.
is. The proposed May Democratic
State Convention in Pittsburgh is just now
being discussed pro and con by our Demo
cratic exchanges. The move seems to be
unpupular, and many reasons are given
why it should be held in May and why it
should be held at a later day. One paper
in favor of an early convention argues that
the candidates are already sufficiently well
known. Another exchange of the same
stripe thinks the candidates named are too
well known, and therefore advocates a late
convention.
no.. The Judiciary Committee on Wed
nesday last, reported a substitute for Mr.
Sumner's Civil Rihhts bill, the substitute
does not differ in its features from Mr.
Sumner's bill, although the form has been
changed. It gives to all persons the priv
ileges of inns, public conveyances, thea
tres and other places of amusement, com
mon schools and public institutions of
learning or benevolence, supported in
whole or in part by general taxation, and
of cemeteries so supported. The penalty
for denial of any of these privileges is the
payment of $5OO to the person aggrieved,
and a fine of not less than $5OO nor more
than $l,OOO, or imprisonment from thirty
days to one year. No citizen shall be dis
qualified from service as a grand or petit
juror in any State or United States court
on account of race, color, or previous con
dition of servitude, and any person exclu
ding or failing to summon a citizen for
such conse shall be fined not more than
$5,000. The bill was placed on the calm
der.

mans and Democrats in Italics, from which
it will be seen that of the 22 votes in favor
of the bill 19 were cast by Democrats and
3 by Republicans, and of the 41 votes
cast against the bill, 36 were by Republi
cans and sby Democrats. And still the
straight Temperance party attempt to just..
ify themselves in running distinctive Tem
perance tickets by declaring that they have
as much to gain - from the Democratic as
from the Republican :party ! Out upon
such arrant fraud ! The straight Temper
ance party is nothing more nor less than a
tender to the Democratic machine. Its
leaders are in the pay of the Democratic
party, and its sincere followers are the
duped.—Blair County Radical.
Dar It was just nine years, March 14, as
we are reminded by the Philadelphia Press,
since Abraham Lincoln was struck down
in Ford's Theatre, Washington City. Since
then the changes have been great. Five
members of his Cabinet—Win. A. Seward,
Edwin M. Stanton. Samuel P. Chase, Ca
leb N. Smith and William Pitt Fessenden
—have gone to their graves. Charles
Sumner, who shared his confidence to the
last, also sleeps in death. Universal suf
frage has supplanted universal emancipa
tion, but his example survives in nothing
more completely than in his example of
toleration and forgiveness. Few of his old
adversaries remember him with bitterness,
and the Republican party constantly turns
to him as one of the simplest, purest and
most incorruptible of Chief Magistrates.
m. The officers of the Third Division
Ninth Army Corps, commanded by Gen
eral J. F. Hartranft, respectfully request
all officers and men attached to- this divis

noon of the 11th of May next, at 5 o'clock
P. M., for the purpose of organization and
re-union. The Ninth Army Corps will
meet at 3 o'clock on the same day for busi

Franklin, Heintzleman, M'Dowell, and
many other leading officers of the army,
will be present to attend, the meeting of
the various corps societies, and the meet

day morning following.

NEWSPAPERS TO PASS FREE,
The following is the text of the bill
which has passed the House at Washilg
ton, proposing to permit the free passage
of newspapers through the mail :
That from and after the passage of this
act the following wail matter shall be al
lowed to pass free in the mail :
First—Newspapers, periodicals and ma
gazines reciprocally interchanged between
publishers, and not exceeding sixteen
ounces in weight, to be confined to a sin
gle copy of each publication.
Second—Newspapers, one copy to each
actual subscriber residing or receiving the
same within the county where the same is
published, but carriers shall not be requi
red to distribute such papers unless post
age is paid upon them at the usual rates.
Stir A threat from Bismarck that he
would resign in favor of General Man
teuffel has produced a compromise on the
army question. The liberals of the Ger
man parliament have agreed to a bill lim
iting the effective force of the army to
401,000 men and term of military service
to seven years. With this force Bismarck
thinks he may be able to maintain the
peace of Europe.

Black-mailing—flow it is Done and Who are
the Victims Temperance—Currency—Busi
ness-Distress.
BLACK-MAILING,
In a great city, it is safe to say, that nearly
one-half the population have no good reason
for living. The number of rnmsellers, gam
blers, thieves, confidence men, and people who
steal a living, would, if put together, make an
army large enough to have crushed thd rebel
lion. I now speak of the male ulcers on the
body-politic—there are at least 30,000 women
in the city who live by equally disreputable
means.
The meanest and most despicable of all the
scoundrels who infest the city, next to the
politicians, are the
NAYS.
PROFESSIONAL BLACK-MAILERS,
and a rew paragraphs devoted to them may be
of interest to your readers. The black mailer
is a man, or woman, who possesses some
knowledge of another person which will not
b.:ar open day-light, and then extorts money
as the price of silence. For instance, the pro
fessional black-mailer goes night after night
to a fashionable gambling house, and watches
closely the players. They are admirable
judges of human nature, indeed this is the first
qualification of the business. Ile fixes upon
some nervous player who is losing heavily,
and notes to a dollar his losses. When the
player finally quits and leaves the house, lie
does not know that be is being followed, and
that the street and number of his residence is
taken, nor does be know that a watchful eye
follows him the next morning to the bank or
office where he is employed, and that by noon
of that day every fact in his history is in pos
session of a cool, calculating, merciless scouts.
drel, who by knowing what lie is, has a hold
on him that will ruin him. We will assume
that the victim observed in the gambling house
is else cashier of a bank. Prom the moment
the black-mailer spotted him he is not out of
Isis sight for an instant. His losses are care
fully noted, WS goings to and fro are observed
and noted, and every incident that at all com•
promises him is set down with circumstance.
For, be it known, he who gambles has other
vices—in fact, the most of the raw men at
gambling tables are those who have squan
dered money not theirs on unlawrul pleasures,
and then fly to gaming in the hope of getting
even by a stroke of luck.
When the black-mailer has got "points"
enough on his man—that is, when he has facts
concerning him, which, if made known to his
employers or family, would ruin him—he
moves on him. He takes him aside and tells
him boldly what he knows of him, and fixes
the sum at which his silence can be assured.
The victim puts on a bold front andefies him.
Mr. Black-mailer expects this, and it does'nt
move him. He pulls out of Isis breast-pocket
a little book, and he reads to him thaton such
a night he lost $2,000 at John Chamberlin's ;
on such another night $1,000; on another
night he was at au assignation house in 23d
street, with a woman closely veiled, but whose
name is So-and-So, that moreover be pays
the board of Miss So-and-So, at such a street
and number ; in short, the black-mailer reads
to his victim a complete history of his secret
lire, so methodically arranged as to make de
nial useless. And after this no denial is made.
He wilts and gladly pays the price demanded.
But it does not end here. Having once paid
lie belongs soul and body to his tormentor.
The threats of exposure, so efficacious the first
time are equally so the second. lie comes
again and again, until the dupe becomes des
perate and flies the country.
Frequently they do not wait for the com
mission:of a crime. They select a timid, ner
vous man and threaten to accuse him of crime
if he does not come down handsomely, and in
many cases they succeed, the victim submit
ting to be bled rather than to be accused. One
of these gentlemen met his match the other
day. A black mailer, a graduate of the State
Prison, accused a clerkl of stealing from his
employer, and proposed to "hush the thing"
for $2OO. The intended victim gave a seem-.
ing assent, but privately made arrangements
with the police and had his blackmailer ar
rested with the money in his hand. It was
fortunate that the clerk had pluck. Had he
yielded to the first demand for money, he
would'have found himself compelled, in time,
to pay over to his accuser every dollar that
he could save or steal.
make the best game for these fellows. If a
married woman indulges in what, to her, seems
to be an "innocent flirtations' and happens to
fall into the hands of one of these men, it
costs her dear. So valuable is her reputation
that rather than have it called in question,
she will do anything. She pays the scoundrel
money, silver ware, jewelry, anything, as the
price of sileae, for they imagine a thousand
evils where none could possibly occur. Next
to women, -
are the favorite victims of black-mailers, for
their position is so peculiar and uncertain. In
their cases, the services of some fair but
allandotied women arc brought into requisi
tion. Some years ago a distinguished preach
er in a Broadway church resigned his charge
and left the city broken-hearted, because he
had permitted himself to be plundered by a
band of men and women who had combined
to place him in a false position. His friends
felt that be was innocent, and yet they advised
him to go, because his weakness had put him
under suspicion. He had been sent for to
console a dying woman, and he went, and was
ushered into her room, and was left alone with
her, and was then surprised by a confederate,
who claimed to be the woman's husband. The
house was a regular trap, the woman a pros
titute, and the two were black mailers, but it
was enough. He was weak enough to pay
once, and then it was all over with him. Pay
ing was an evidence of guilt, and, innocent of
guilt as a child, he was compelled to resign
his charge and leave the city. But it did not
end with this. His persecutors followed him
to his new home, and extorted more money,
for every step he took to relieyt himself, only
put him more securely in their hands. He was
compelled, finally, to leave the ministry. But
they do not always succeed so well. Not long
ago another clergyman approached in the
same way, laid a very neat trap, and had his
accusers brought to shame. Ho thus saved
himself a life long trouble.
The only way is to defy them, and utterly
refuse to pay. That ends it. They have no
reason to divulge what they know; in fact,
when their secret is made common property,
it ceases to have any value to them. They
always leave such people alone.
THE TEMPERANCE REFORM
has finally struck Trinity Church. This re
ligions corporation, owning real estate to the
amount of millions, has for years leased a
considerable portion of its property to rum
mills, some of them of the lowest and vilest
order. But the Temperance revival has struck
the slumbering consciences of the trustees,
and they have determined to close out the
liquor shops, rebuild the buildings, adapting
them to other business. It is well. Trinity
should have done this long ago. The women
of the West have accomplished this much by
their movement at all events.
THE CURRENCY QU2STION
The city is hot on the question of curren
cy, and the feeling is increasing every day.
The rich old houses who have oceans of cap
ital in reserve, who arc• doing business on
their own money—and the retired rich men
are gnashing their teeth at the bare thought
of inflation, and these classes control the con
trollable press. But there is an immense
number of business men who really desire it,
and will do all in them to bring it about, viz :
those who are doing business on limited cap
ital and are compelled to seek accommoda
tion•. These 'men want more money, for they
want a revival of trade. They want business
to pick up in the West, not only that the
goods now in their warehouses may be bought,
but that they may bo able to collect for what
they sold last fall and winter.
BUSINESS
is anything but brisk in the city, and every
thing points to a dull spring anda duller sum
mer. The Western farmer holds tight to the
money he has, the Western merchant cannot
pay for what lie bought hest fall, and is only
buying just what he must buy, and conse•
quently the jobber and importer here languish
and sigh for the good old times.

With its issue for March 4, IS74,THE DAILY GRAPHIC
enters open the second year of a career phenomenal in the
history of journalism. I. story of a twelvemonth has
been st steady and unquestioned growth in popular ac
ceptance as the moat ori.tinal, artistically luxurious, and
wonderfully comprehensive metropolitan journal ever
published in the United Sates
Asa brilliant novelty, the whole country has confessed
its unique attraction; as a practical and mai vellously com
plete NEWSPAPER, it has become a daily nece..ity to
the social and mercantile interests of one of the largest
permanent constituencies ever attained by ajonrnalistic
enterprise in the same period, while its great specialty,
beyond all actuality or hopeof competition,. A SUPERB
PICTORIAL MIRROR. OF DAILY HISTORY has been
the wonder, delight, and new education of hull viduals and
homes in every State of the Union. In the very idea of
such utilization of the finest pictorial art, for every day's
information and reflection, there is all the charm of a ro
mance; and the realization of that idea, made visible in
THE DAILY GRAPHIC, is a practical and ever-varying
assimilation of the most fascinating Ornament with the
commonest nee which never palls upon even the most
pampered taste. From the first issue the guCcegg,e mul
titude of its pictures has been a perfect study of mechan
ical and journalistic development the inevitable early
imperfections of artists and others, not yet thoroughly
trained in the new procese, disappearing steadily in an as
steadily increteing accuracy and beauty of artistic effects.
Indeed this very illustration, from day to day, of the
Time'a spirit of Progress in Art, as well as in Events, has
been an added and piquant interest, which is yet tote
maintained for the pubiic by unending future "Graphic"
improvements. Scarcely more, hoverer, for its beautiful
portraits, trenchant cat tools, vivid neweetchinge, and un
equalled productions of the world's choicest works of art,
than for its u iirivalled;att ructions as A MODEL JOURNAL
