ASOTHER SCREED FOR TNE BENRFIT OF FRO- VINCIAL NEWSPAPERS, Spectal Dispaten to The Tridune, Wasttixaroy, D. C., July 18.—The late opin- fon of Attorney-Uencrat Devens, reatiirming , that civen In 187G by Attorney-General Taft, that the Executive Departments of the Govern- ment are authorized to pay only 40 centa per 100 words for the first Insertlon, and 20 cents per 100 words for subsequent inscrifons, of or- dinary advertisements, lias caused fnnumerable letters to bo written by newspaper publishers to the heads of departments asking an explana- tion. The law, which It is dectded §s still In force, was passed In 1353 as o part of a judicial fee-bll, and provided that the rates slready named should be paid for publishing any notieo or'onier required by law, or the Iawful order of any Court, Department, Burcay, or any other pureom, In any unewspaper, ete. Within a few » weeks after the paseage of this act, the Stats Devartinent roquested the then Attorney-Gen- cral, Cusing, togivean opinion na to the goplica~ bility of tids law to the publication of tae laws, treatles, ete. He decided tiat thelaw fn question only referred to Judiclal printing, and did not apply to th: ordinary advertising of the Exceue tive Department. For fourteen years after tho act was passed, therefore, and while It was In foree, the advertisfug of the Departments was paid for at REARONADLE COMMERCIAL RATES; but In 1% an act was passed which was ame bodied In the Revised Statutes in the following language: All adverilsements, notices, and proposals for cuntracts for alf tue Executive m‘mfme.... of the Government, and the laws passeil by Congress ang Exccutive proclamations nud trenites 1o e e lisued ju the bietrict of Columbla, Maryland, and Virginia, thall Lereafter be advertised by publica. tion I the three daisy papers published in llm Dise frictof Columbta having the largeet circalation.

After this act was paseed no change was mado in the rates pald to newspapers for printing Governmeat advertisements, but In 1875 a clause was fnserted in the Post-Ofilce Appropriae tiou LN repeallng all portlans of the section Tast quoted above, which referred to advertising 1 newspapers. The uatural efTect of such a re- peul would be to Icave the Departments with SUST THE SAME AUTHORITY which they had lefore 1367, aud at liberty to pay the same rates for advertising which the; buid before the net of that g‘cnr was sedl Sych rates were indeed pa‘d by ments from the Gth of March, 1873, when the repeal went Into eflect, to tho 14th of August, 15i6.
