To the People Of AlerandrM ....-
knowing, as they do, the many appeals to
your generosity, and public spirit, which have
of late, been ma lie, as we'll as the readiness with
which you have always met them, the Board OF
Directors of the Alexandria Library Company

did not a sense Of duty require them to DO So
: Of the advantag es-they may almoStsa the
necessity-ot q good library, especially to the
Younger portion Of our community, they deem
it unnecessary to speak; they arc evident to you
all. four thousand ve1y razuaJtc books, the
property OF the company, have survived the
war; arrangements have been made by which
the library will be kept open entirely free from
crDc,lSe, and all that is wanted is an amount OF
money necessary to replace some of the books
lost, and to purchase the best Of those recently
issued. This, they believe, can be casil y raised
by proper effort, and some of their number will,
therefore, call upon you, atan early day, to re-
quest subscriptions. Every cent subscribed
will be expended for JooEs none will be db
sorJcd in crl1cnscs. You can either buy stock,
and thus become part owner Of valuable prop.
crty subscribe by the year or make dona-
tons; and it is hoped that no one, however
limited his means, will refuse to do either one
or the other. Let the price OF the pictorial pa
pers, .(many Of them not Of the most improving
character) and Of the cheap, trashy novels
which arc purchased weekly, be applied to the
assistance of the library, and the end in view
will be accomplished .....

A CONTRAST New York Journal Of
Commerce draws parallel and a contrast be-
tween the speeches of Mr.. Butler and Mr..
Curtis in the Impeachment case. 1t says:
'sCurtis keeps to the bounds Of strict dialec.
TICS his reasoning is like chain, in which
there arc no weak links, leading from certain
premises to certain conclusions. Butler talks
like feed lawyer at his favorite pursuit Of
making the worst appear the better cause
Curtis talks like judge who has examined the
whole question judiclally, and believes upon
his soul in. what he says Butler treats the
Senate as if it were Cooper Institute audi
ence, whom he was trying to bully, cajolc and
fatter to his way of thinking. He appeals to
the prejudices, the partisan feelings, the seem
ing interests of his hearers never to their
wisdom, their equity, their magnanimity Cur
It's addresses the Senate in their high and true
character of Court He trusts to their intclli-
gencc, their Justice, their generosity, even
He cannot bring himself to think that body
of men representing, what they arc supposed to
do, can fail to follow his lofty line of argu-
ment, and to be influenced by considerations
directed solely to their minds and conscences.
He speaks to them as if they were his peers in
is q compliment to the
Senate. Butler harangues them as If thoy
were no better than himself-which is an in.
suit to the Senate. Curtis reasons at the Sen
ate from his level and Butler makes stump
speech at them from his level and there is
just the difference between the two men and
their speeches. ~. .s i.
