[The mistake was an error in reading the manuscript by the compositor. With reference to the advice appended for the reporters, we would add that if some of our ignorant and illiterate people would keep in the ranks for which nature intended them, and not intrude into positions that should be occupied only by respectable and intelligent people, it would save them from making fools of themselves, and our institutions from becomiug a laughing stock.—Ed.
