Below is a copy Of the circular, which has been
forwarded by the Kentucky banks to the banks Of
New Orleans, and most Of the banks of Ohio, Ten
nessee, Indiana, aud Illinois,
LOUISVILLE, December 18th 1910,
The Directors Of the Bank of kan'acky the Nor
thern Bank of Kentucky and the Bank of Louisville
having had a conference on the subject, deem il eX
pedient hold i'll the city OF Louisville, the 2jth
day of January, l6il, Convention Of the Banks Of
the city of New Orleans, Illinois Tennessee, Ohio
Indiana and Kentucky, for the purpose Of securing
concert of action in the resumption Of specie pay
ments, and they have dcpute1 the unders gned com.
mittees of their several boards, to address you on
the subject
The policy of the measure proposed seems TO US
so obvious not to require argument particularly
when We remember that the banks, which It is pro-
posed shall assemble IN convention, have no con.
icling interests and only fail to increase their
importance 70 the community and advance their own
interest, by refusing or neglecng TO Cooperate in
such measures will insure their mutual convent
ence and safety.
1t is believed, that other matters Of inportanre
to tee banking interests of the South and West viii!
be presented for the consideration Of the convention.
Believing that you will concur With me in the eX
pediency Of the measure proposed, We coniden tly
expect chat your institution vii! be represented on
the occasion.

a statesman he vas distinguished for ample
experience, marked equanimity Of temper
and shrew knowledge ofmen. To the e
advantages he added a commanding and cap.
tivating eloquence, the secret Of his eminent
success as an advocate, and which enabled
him to WELD no ordinary influence in the
Senate, House and before the People.
Whatever NAV have been the political
differences which separated him, in sent.
ment, and to some extent in intercourse
with portion Of his fellow-c!izens, Mr..
Grundy was emphatically an amable and
benevolent man; MS free from the bitterness
of personal enmites he was above the ran.
cor of party competition.
Whether in the Senate or the social Cir
cle on the hastings or in the forum, he was
always the same bland, dgnifed and agree
able gentleman. AS a phlanthropist, he
stood prominent as the influential and early
friend Of the cause of Temperance, and bore
an active part in the establishment and pro-
gress of several other benevolent societies.

FALLING OF THE CHANDELIERS IN THE HALL
OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Madisonian of the 18th says:
The magnificent Chandelier Of the Hall
Of Representatives, which attracted so
much admiration, is mass of ruins. About
10 o'clock yesterday, it fell with Il tremen-
dous crash; and the elegant lamp shades
and crystal drops, and richly wrought orna
ments were shattered to pieces.-the i'm.
mense frame work broken up--several
desks and chairs destroyed--but, most for
tunateIy no one was injured. On Tuesday
evening it was lighted, to satisfy the curl
osity Of the members, many Of whom were
present. and were highly pleased with the
truly splendid effect ii produced when fully
Illuminated,
Yesterday morning. two attendants were
engaged in cleaning it, and taking out the
old oil, for the purpose Of supplying the
lamp with some Of superior quality.
They suddenly found the chandelier begin
to ascend, and, in spite of all their eXertlons
they throwing their weight upon tit
went up along the whole rod to the dome,
and struck with great violence against the
frame work below the sky lights and, in
stantly the whole mass, chandelier, rod, fix
lures and all. tumbed down.
The two workmen, and the Hon. Mr..
Goode, Of Ohio, who was standing near
them, had hardly time to get out of the
way. Hon. Mr.. Dennis of Maryland, was
also present. but was in 4 remote and safe
part of the Hall.
NJ ost fortunately the House was not in
session, else, the consequences would have
been such as we shudder to contemplate,
Probably 90 or 80 members would have
been killed or manned for life.
The eloquent Chaplain (Nfr. Goodman.
made an appropriate alusion to the circum
stances in his opening prayer: and returned
thanks to Divine Providence, on the part OF
the members, for their escape from this
great danger.
We forbear, at present, to speak Of the
Lcauses of the accident, as they will uudoubt-
eddy be the subject Of.investigation. II is
not likely that another chandelier will be
raised in the Hail very soon.

gives him the most airy, spacious, and pleasant
rooms of any Hotel in the place; and he is deter
mined that the Improvements and additions to his
House shall keep pace with the growth and impor-
tance of the town in which it is located and that
it shall be second to none. The house has been
thoroughly repaired, and furnished in a manner
which he feels confident will give satisfaction to Gus
toners. His TABLE will always be furnished
with the choisest and best, and his BAR will be
supplec with the purest liquors. His stables are al
ways well supplied with good provender, and attend
ed by a careful Ostler. His long acquaintance with
the business Of keeping public house, together
with determination to use every means to render
satisfaction, induces him thus publicly to encourage
his old friends to continue their calls, and invite
the public generally to give him trial, and judge
for themselves, as he is determined that the Union
Hall shall lie kept in as creditablea manner as any

his horse down. He then took him up,
put him in his mouth, and crushed him TO
