to memoriaL'zt yoar hoaorsb!e boJy. ar.d woa'd respectfully - repreaent that soma amendments and additions to the law regulating tbe publication of matters required by law are rendered imperatively necessary by ininy consideration, of wbicn we present tbe foHowiog and hg t "-.licit for them your favorable attention: 1. The compensation for tbe publication of delinquent tax lists, administrators' notices, cstray notices, and all other legal adrertisementi, is not only entirely inadequate, but cannot be accepted without serioui lo to publishers. A otice which would bavs cost for composition .ind other labor four years ago. one dollaT, will now cit over two, while tbe rate of compensation remains tho same. We bare but to urge tue Injustice of allowing this inequality to continue. A publisher cannot pay from twenty to twenty-fire cents a poond for ppcr, and from forty to fortyfire cents for composition, and be paid tho s.ime prices aCxed by law when paper wa3 eight ad ten cents per pound, and composition twenty fire and thirty cents per thousand ems, without ruin. Lcjal adTerti&cments, as they are called, are a serious annoyance and expense, but tbe injustice Is especially injurious in the case of delinquent Ux liat?, because they are generally very Iob, and thus exclude matter that pays better, and are required to appear .at a season of the year when advertising Is more abundant than usual. 'J. The publication of tbe acta of tbe legislature in tbe county papers, would at once place the la ts before the people of the state, in a better and more sttlefactory manner than by any other metes. The expense would be more than compensated by the dissemination of a correct knowledge of tbe laws. 3. What is true of the laws Is equally true and urgent of the publication of the proceedings of boards of county commissioners. Their acts bear immediately upon the interests ot the citizens, not only as it regards taxation, but as it regards tbe efforts to discbarge the obligations ere a ted by the w&r. It is not only important but imperative, that the people should know this, yet they must depend entirely upon the enterprise aud care of their county publishers. This', besides leaving at the mercy of individual caprice, milters of univeisnl value to the people, it also leaves it to be done well or ill, correctly or incorrectly, as the publishers tastes, abilities or opportunities may suggest. The law ought to require the country to prepare a succinct report of such proceeding tor publication. 4. Th advertisement of sheriff's sales should, at the discretion of the clerk or Sheriff, be pub lii-hed iaJaily instead of weekly papers, where there arc daily papers accessible, for the reason that daily papers almost invariably exceed weekly edition in cities and thickly inhabited districts, and circulate specially among business men and those who are likely-to be interested in such sties. Tbe weeklies are rarely seen, except by acciJent, or bT those ho make it their business to look after such cases. Tho present law is held by tbe courts to require publication in weeklies only. An amenJment, authorizing publication in daily and weekly pv pers, would obvlatejf.he difficulty suggested, and ecuie a beneScal change for the interests of all concerned. 5 We also beg leave to suggest that sheriffs should publish, and not merely post up written notices of the sales of personal property. Such notices are little better than none, and yet the interests involved are very frequently great, and demand as much notoriety as those of real es täte These suggestions are britlly presented, in the hope that tbey will meet the approval of the Legislature, and relieve our laws of in just and iniu rious provisions, and publishers of some grievous burtheus.

Campbell Jclt Kicbmood jCstrdij morning ou their way to Waahiogtoa to tODfer with I'resideat Lincoln ou the subject of putting an end to tbe war if possible. The circumtao ccs under which these gentlemen departed we understood to te as follows; Mr. IM air baring aoucht an unofficial and confidential interview with President Davi, depart ed for Wuihitigton with an assurance that our pre-i.'.ent would be willing at auj time, without any obstae'e of form, to tend agents or commit rioiicrs to Washington to coufcr tbout terms of Cuce, if informed in advance that aid coruinUeioaers wouIJ be received. Ou Mr. Blair'a second vwit to R'rchmoiid, he brought the consent of Mr. Lincoln to receive and confer with ant agents informally sent with a view to the restoration of peace. The three gentlemen who left yesterday were therefore selected by President Davis, and thej have gone without formal credentials, and meielj ai informal agentd to ace whether it be poiblc to place a conference for peace on anr basis which my serve for attaining co desirable a result. Jt ia possible tht success may attend these efforts, but wisdom and prudence demand tlat r indulge in no coiifiJeiit expectations on the subject, and that we rUx not one moment in euer getic preparation for the ensuinc catnpiign. From the choice made by the President we may rest a.'aured that no ruejns will be left untried to effect a peace if itbe possible to tbtain it; but if the eminent citizens selected for the purpose hall fad in the attempt, one sjood result will certainly hare been reached all discordant counsels on thi subject will have become reconciled, and it will no longer be in the power ot the factious or the timid to persuade the people tbtt peace can be reached by nnj psth other than that opened for us by e tout heirts and f tout hands.

Mr. Ten Kyck moved to amend by striking out the word "Louisiana." lie explained that that state had formed a state government, and had ordered an election for presidential elect ors. Further tou?iJeratioa of the subject was post poned to cive way for offering, by Mr. Counetts. the credentials of Messrs. Jas. V. Nye and Wm. W. Stcnurt, fenatorj elect from the state of Nevadt. Mr. Davis otyected to the deiriig in of there senators to-day He urged that congre had passei no Uw admitting Nevada into the union. Mr. Trumbull said that Nevada had boen admittel into the union by the president' procl imttiun, and that au enabling act had been passed authorizing such admission. It was not necessary to pa any act of congress on the subject. Mr. Johnson tid the question was not a new one. Missouri and Michigan had been admitted into the union on an enabling act, and ou a proclamation of the presided. No act of congress further than enabling act was necessary. It was very clear thut, upon the ground of precedents, and upon the grout.d of authority, the senators from Nevada were entitled to their seats. The question of postponing the admission of the ienators flora Nevada was then put, and wa lost. Messrs Stewart and Nje weia then duly sworn into office by Vice President Hatnliu.

This was done, and Mr. Stewart drew the lo"g tTm. Mr. Nye drew the short terra. Tl.e senate resumed the consideration of the resolution o tit red by Trumbull. Trumbull was opposed to Mr. Ten EyekV motion to exempt Louisiana from the provisions of the resolution. If this was done it would be a decision by congress, that Louisiana was on the 5th of November in a condition to cast a pi evidential vote. The judiciary committee iu session on th" subject baa avoided an expession of opinion as to whether Louisiana was not in the union, whatever might be the views of the senators ai to the org n;zaticn which had been gotten up in La., and although conpreas miht hereafter have to recognize that organization as legitimste, it did nccess.arilv follow that the condition of the things in Louisiana on the t'th of November was such as to authorize the count of the vote. It was a matter of public notoriety to citizens in the Und that a large portion of Loui-ian w-u on the 8th of November in a possession of a hostile enemy and iheie was lo opportunity to voto for president and vice-president in a very considerable portion of the state. It might be a very serious que-tion whether, j wheu one half or two-thirds of a state was over- t run by our enemy, an election held under such j circumstances, and under the auspices of our own un would be an election which would authorize cr.ngress to receive the vote of that state when in joint contention to canvass that. He did not meau by the actiou on the subject to counsel the senate one way or the othej in regard to the organization which had been trotten op in Louisiana. Mr. Tea Eyck held that Louisiana was not out of the Union, aid never had been; that no state j had actuallv eceded.ani :u the uaturc of the

The Times army ol the Potomac special, dated yesterday, says : Several meetings took place in front of our lines on Monday, relative to the peace commissioners, but no decisive action was made. The action of General Grant from bis headquarters was the cansc of the delay. Nothing was known relative to the designs of the rebel commissioners. .The greatest quiet prevails along the lines.

The World his steadily opposed the ineisure, but does not show much regret at its passage. All the other papers speak with full approval. There is much excitement to-day on peace rumors.
