Presidents MESSAGE IN KENTUeKY.-The
following are the comments of the Louis
vile Journal on that portion of the message
referring to neutrality. The Journal says:
To be sure, the President characterizes
tbs attitude in'terms apparently not very
complimentary to some of US, but, after all,
he is more severe on himself than on any
body else, inasmuch as his language i'm
plies thorough miscOnception, both of the
ground of our attitude and of its total eff
feet on the condition of affairs. We are
neutral mainly because neutrality, and neu-
trality alone, promises to stay US from inn
bruing our hands in each others blood and
our neutrality, so far from being in the long
run injurious to the Government has done
more to relieve the Government physically
and to strengthen it morally than the &C
tive support of any single State In the
North-certainly far more than such
active support as Kentucky herself could
have brought to the government The
President in overlooking these conspic-
uous facts reflects on himself instead of
Kentucky. We venture to say, that, if be
had comprehended the attitude of Kentucky
as it really is, he would have couched his
; views of neutrality in language more just
to her as well as more becoming to himself
As it is we can very well stand his stric-
lures, if he can stand the ignorance that IL
censed them. Kentucky is too firm in her
consciousness of right aud too clear in her
loyalty to be moved by the illiberal criti-
cisms of anybody, whether high or low and
whether at home or abroad.
The idea that Kentucky, who refused to
furnish her quota of troops to sustain the
Government against attack, while she sent
company upon company, and battalion af-
ter battalion to aid in its overthrow; Ken
lucky, who has done more to cripple the
energies of the Government, and give aid
and comfort to its enemies; who has ship
ped all the supplies within her borders to
the Confederate army, and then persistently
endeavorrs to induce the Union men OF
the free States 10 supply her wants be
cause she is nominaIly in the Union The
idea that Kentucky, while so doing, has
done more to relieve the Government ply
sically and to strengthen it morally, than
the active support of any single State in
the North, 4" is so singularly luminous, that
it could not well live except in the brain of
a poet like the Editor of the Journal. The
thing is so paIpably, strikingly absurd az to
be unworthy moments constellation
No more painful result of the neutral
position assumed by the Union men of Ken
lucky has come under our observation, than
this evidence of alteration on the part OF
one of its most eloquent advocates in 8
efforts to reconcile its inconsistencies.

EDIToR JOURNAL :--iu your paper of yes
terday you stated the Judge blythe Hynes,
Esqr.,) of the election of the Evansville Lii
brary Association held on Monday evening
last, sustained the position of the late Board
of Directors, regards the legality of their
action in amending the Bylaws of the AS
ISOLATION by passing sec. 20, and sec. 81
published in your paper of the Sth inst.
The Judge decided that sec 20, of the
late Board was negatory, as the substance
of it was incorporated in the Constitution
and Bylaws. His decision referring to
sec. 20, article 9th, of the Constitution and
sec. IS of the Bylaws.
He also decided that sec. 81, passed by
them was unconstitutional. The substance
of it authorizes absent stock holders to vote
By proxy. His decision was, that there was
nothing in the Constitution of the Library
Association authorizing the voting by
proxy, either by statutory law of the State
or the common law
You also stated that Sam Orr, Esq, was
elected President of the Association by one
vote. The Constitution of the Association
says sec. l, article 4 it requires maio-
rity OF the whole votes given being neces-
sary to q choice" Mr.. Orr not having re-
ceived majority of the whole votes given,
was not elected. A SToGHoLDER.

EDIroRs JoURNAL:-Permit me, through
the columns of your paper, to say that the
Fourth was celebrated in this place with an
old-fashioned Barbecue. There were in at
tendance from two thousand to twenty-five
hundred people to cheer its welcome return.
The day was ushered in by the ringing of
bells, firing salutes, &c. Early In the morn
ing, military companies came marching in
from every direction, headed by music and
banners. At ten o'clock A. M. the process
sion was formed by Marshals DR.. J. W.
Runcie and Logan McCrary, assisted by J.
NJ, Foster, L. T. Mead, VIM. Cooper, w. NJ.

and seats were erected. The opening prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Puett, of Owensville read
ing of the Declaration of Independence by
W. r. Genung Grafton by G. W. Thomp-
son, who deserves great praise for the able
and patriotic address; Benediction by Rev.

four hundred yards long, and loaded with
the finest of well-cooked provisions. After
the thousands had eaten to their satisfae-

more. must say, in justice to Misses ALI

they can not be beaten as good cooks, and
deserve the praise of all. Our farmers de-

Poor FELLows.-A correspondent of the
Memphis Avalanche, writing from Rich
mond, represents that the Southern army is
actually "spiling for a fight. 1t is the
sorrow Of their lives that they are not
brought in contact with the mercenary
hordes of the North. The writer says
that they win go back home utterly heart
broken if peace should be declared without
their having chance to make the detested
Yankees "smeh Southern gunpowder and
feel Southern steel"
They are in fair way to have all their
desires in the fighting lice more than graft
fed. No wonder that the people of the
North have grown restless under the delay,
when an insulting foe is ready to measure
swords with the 20 Grand Army" We only
hope that the aristocratie gentlemen under
Beauregard, will stand long enough for our
troops to get at them. Heretofore they
have only distinguished themselves in prac-
ticing the commendable discretion of pre-
serving themselves for future contests. by
running away from present danger. They
are like the Irishman who's heart was brave
enough, but his eowardly legs ran away
with bis body.

The report of the Superintendent aud
Trustee of our public schools, published
elsewhere, shows gratifying increase in the
number of scholars registered during the
year and in the average attendance. The
report shows the schools to be in highly
prosperous condition and we are certain no
citizen can read it without feeling proud of
an educational system established among
US whereby the children of all may be
thoroughly instructed. In these graded
schools, all English branches are taught.
The alphabet as well as the higher branches
of geology, geometry, chemistry and algebra
are taught by competent instructors. The
examinations prove that the pupils are not
only familiar with the language of the texl
books, but understand the principles of the
studies, aud we are confident that under
the present management the schools will
continue to be the pride of the city.
Let every citizen support and encourage
them. They are the proudest monuments
Of our intelligence, morality and public
spirit of which we can boast

The Paducah Herald appears semi-oeca-
sionally in the guise of " extras We are
indebted to some friend fer copy of the
veracious sheet, dated July 5th, which con-
tains considerable news, and of somewhat
startling character. 1t announces the cap
ture of two or three prizes by q Southern
privateer, and the defeat of the federal forces
near Romney, Va, with loss of II killed.

which the Indiana zouayes participated,

engaged, is feat not to be Accomplishment

The object in sending us the extra was to
give us the benefit of communication, ex-
planning the cause why one Dr. Vile was
driven out of Paducah. The reason assign

cause of his removal was on account of the
remarks he had made regarding the virtne
of the Southern ladies, and especially those
of Paducah.''
The fact that the authors of the outrage
feel the necessity of offering some explana-
ton tor their conduct other than the real
one, is hopeful sign, and one we regard
with pleasure. Paducah must be shaking
off the paroxysm of madness, which has ru-
ined her trade and debauched her integrity

her throne. We have great hopes of re-
