There is a foolish law on the statute-books of this State, called the signature law, which prohibits, under the penalty of a thousand-dollar fine, any reflection on any man that is dead which may serve to blacken his memory, from Cain to Durrant, or any reflection on any man living, morally, mentally, or physically, which may tend to bring him into contempt, etc., unless the article is signed by the writer. For all articles in this paper unsigned, the editor is responsible. The assistant editor signs by his initial, T. In the present status of this uncertain law we hope this is sufficient compliance.
