Correspondence Of the Southern Telegraph
LOUISVILLE. Sent 10. 1880.


have promised you some account of sun
dry matters in this prosperous and Furnishing
ing city; but, owing to various causes, lean
give you all the information, in detail, which
could have desired.
Until within very few years, Louisville
has been celebrated only for her CONNER
cial prosperity-the high and well sustained
credit of her merchants and business men,
and the general liberality and fairness Of
her business transactions. Her public
buildings were few and inconvenient; her
literary instit utions imperfecty organized,
and badly sustained, and her citizens depen-
dent, in great measure, upon the neigh
boring cities, and the States of the north for
the education of their children, and for all
their literary and scientific advantages.
Now the case is different, as shall present,
ly show.
The City Hall, now in process Of erection
will be the most magnificent building ives
of the mountains. Its location is judcious
being central, and still sufficiently removed
from that part of the city exclusively devo
ted to the busy operations of trade and com
MERGE. Il is situated on the north side O
Jefferson, between Fifth and Sixth streets
about one hundred yards from the site ofth
old Court House. cannot, at this me
ment, give you the exact dimensions of tn
.edifce; but tolerably correct idea of il
extent NAV be formed from its estimate
cost-S7OOOO0. ['This is not the estimat
submitted to the public, but is the sum tha
practical builders say will be required t
complete the structure on its projected seal
of magnicence.]
It's designed to contain spacious an
splendid Hall for general public purposes
suitable rooms for the County, Circuit an
Criminal Courts-for the City Council-fo
the Offices of the clerks Of the diferen
courts, and for sundry other purposes.
The bodies of its walls are of brick, wit
an outer coat or layer of hewn stone. Tn
rock used for the purpose is procured, as
am informed, from quaries, near Madison
Indiana, and resembles the granite of tn
northern States.
This splendid ediice, with the other
which shall notice, owes its origin to tn
81
enterprise and the muniicent policy OF tn
city governmental policy somewhat new
in this city, but which has, within The last few
years, done much for its present and perma
nent prosperity.
The college ed6ce, erected for the use
Of the Louisville Medical Institute, is nearly
completed, and does high honor to the lib
eral spirit Of the city council, by whom
funds were appropriated for its erection. L
rs, probably, the largest and best cOnstructed
building of the kind, IN the Union. Ii is 19C

beauty, and admirably adapted to the pur
poses for which it is designed 1t has spa

GRAND TEXAN ExPEDTTIoN.-We learn
from the Picayune, that an expedition, COLI
ssing of $50 men, is fitting out in Texas,
for The purpose Of trading with Mexico and
supplying The inhabitants with merchandise,
made scarce by the French blockade. The
company has agents in New York, and 9TH
er parts ofthe United States, and from the
rapidity with which preparations have been
made hitherto, it is expected that the expe-
dition will get off some time in November.
The main object ofthis company, says the
Picayune, is to establish road from Gal
weston Island, through chihuahua to Monte
ry-not Mon;ery of New Leon, near the
Rio del Norte, but town of the same name,
situated on the upper part ofthe Gulf of CAL
llornia. In this pioneering expedition,
which is expected to be merely the presage
of more extensive operations hereafter, ii Is
contemplated 10 take along from forty to fifty
thousand dollars worth of goods, and as there
will be $50 in the company, well armed and
equipped-it is also to be presumed that the
carr van will proceed to its destination with
out much molestation from robbers, bandit
ii, &c.
The leader Of the expedition, is Maj. A. L..

who has load several similar expeditions.

"During the past fortnight the market

in our last, the sales being about 5000 bags

import Is falling off very much, and must
continue light for some time, and the stocks
in the hands of customers are also small,
and if the manufacturing trade was good
we should be inclined to look for some adj
vance. But the yarn trade is worse than
it has been for years, and many mills must
be sinking money. The goods trade pas

LITCHFIELD, APRIL 10. 1888.
NETWORK CITY ELECTION.

NEW-HORk CITY ELECTION.
We confess that when we first heard of the partial
result of the election in the city of New York-or the
earliest information received was that the Locos had
obtained majority Of the Common Conceive felt
no little mortiication-we had expected handsome
majority for the Wings. But when we come to see
the immense vote that was given the efforts that Mr.
Van Buren, and his horde of Office holders and expect
ants had made to carry the city, as though he had de-
termned TO place his political salvation upon "the
hazard of the die there, and the hundreds and thou
sands of troops brought hither without "local hab
tation or name," were astonshed that the whips
were not overcome, and we consider the triumph
proud one for the party. We give below brief &C.
count in the language Of the Ercss as more'appro-
pirate than any thing we could indite. All the whg
papers OF the city represent the combat as one une-
qualled in political strife; and their greatest wonder
is that their friends should be brought out in sufficient
strength to overcome the tremendous array of power
against them. The wing nett gain, notwithstanding
all these disadvantages, has been about 1000 since last
spring-though there has been loss since the falD
and hadt not been for the foreign mercenary votes it
would now doubtless be at least or 1000.

Treasury notes more valuable and more in
demand than Gold and Silver,"-Cthese are
BentOn's own words in spite of all his pra-
ting about the worthlessness of paper mon

his beautiful metaphors.-"the Bill will aid
in destroying bank rags,-yes sir, Bank rags
sir, those representatives of old and dirty
pocket hondkerchietS-yes sir.-OH and dirty
pocket hGndkerchiefs." The igurative Expun-
ger time and again rung the changes upon
''old and dirty pocket handkerchiefs," worth
more when ''old and dirty" than when con-
verified into Bank rags. How sublime and
beautiful.

Large Fire IN VicksbuEg.-A destructive

From the National Intelligencer.
The SUB-TREAsURY BML.-We are happy
to learn, upon so good an authority as the
Richmond ENQUIRER of Thursday, that nei-
Their the Senate Bill nor the Bill for regula-
ting the repositories of the public money has
any chance of success; that the calculations
and predictions of the official journal on that
subject are altogether fallacious and gratu-
ito,s: and that the defeat Of both these bills
is inevitable. The following is copy of the
paragraphs of the Enquirer from which we
derive this information:
"In fact, we understand that neither the
Senate bill nor the House bill has any
chance of success. A very intelligent men,
Der of Congress writes US on the 2nd instant
" | think no one now sincerely believes that
the Sub Treasury Scheme will become a
law, either in the shape of Mr.. Wright's or
Mr. Cambreleng's bill"
"Another writes US as follows: "do not be
deceived by the apparent confidence Of the
Globe in the ultimate success of either
virgins or CamDrctengS Dill III the House
of Representatives. Their fate is as fixed
as destiny. The defeat of both is inevitable.
The Senate's bill cannot be called up again.
if it were, of those who voted against laying
on the table, eleven (whom he enumerates,)
and perhaps others, will vote against il, as
am confidently told, and do not doubt. Take
off Gray, who voted for laying on the table,
and the ayes will be 1O5; to these add 10 abb
sentees, as admitted by the Globe, and the
above ii, and there will be l26 against the
bill. Excluding the Speaker and six vacan-
cies, there are 235 votes, leaving 100 votes in
favor of the bill. The vote on Mr.. Cambrel-
eng's bill will have, in addition to the 1O4, IL,
and probably ID, (whom he specifies y add
to these 10 absentees, and we have 127 a.
gainst, and 1Oe for it. In either case, the va
cancies cannot alter the galne-the bills will
be lost"

and put the platter directly on the eye and
wear 1t (removing it once in twelve hours and
washing OFF the matter on the eye with cas-
tile soap,) till the inflammation is entirely out,
say from three to ten days. The proprietor
never thought Of applying 1t to sore eyes un-
til about two years since, when he applied it
to case in his family and was sastonished at
the result. Since then he has applied IL iRma-
