Ex-Governor Bram.ette, Of Kentucky, re-
GENTLY received letter from New York, stating
that he had drawn prize Of q splendid gold
watch, wor h $3.50, and that il he would send
them s1S so to cover costs, the watch would be
sent him. Governor Bramlette humored the
thing. and wrote the New York eharpers to
send the priz, by express, c. o. d. This the
New Yorkera did, aud the s18 so was paid to
the express company. Is was suspected, the
priza was amiscratle brass watch, worth about
SIS. Having paid tie charges, Governor Bram-
lette attached the money and the watch in the
hand Of the express company. This attach
meat will compel the express company to hold
both the watch and the money until judgment
ia rendered. The judgment will probably be
that the $13 80 be ,e.urned and the watch sold
to pas costs.

ssysee 10 their comments upon thu letter
written by Judge Chase, on the occasion ct
the recent decoration OF Federal graves At Mag
nolis. The New York Sun says $50 Tar as
concerns oblivion OF past differences and
union i. noble and generous endeavor to as
sure the honor and welfare Of our whole coun-
try. OF an her States, and Of oil ber oitl2ans,
every sensible man shares Judge Chase's senh-
meats. But when he expresses the hope that
loyal men will join In celebrating the .herolsm
OF The rebels, whose nefarious efforts we're the
cause Of 80 much bloodsaed and destruction,
and Of whose exploits the tax-gatherer as ne
makes his daily rounds is q perpetual reminder,
he goes too far, even for the class whom he
thus endeavors TO aatter. They cannot possi-
bly, believe him to be sincere. while his loyal
fellow-citizens must perforc, loathe him as
renegade and Lurncoat, whose first principle
ia selt-ldvancement, and whose patriotism all
a,ons has been but specious pretence."
-Mr. Hall, tie Mayor of New York. deliver.
ell no address at tho time of his Inauguration.
bat he has now sent 10 to the Common Council
his annual message, which is one of the live
liest and most suggestive documents of The
kind ever presented. 1t abounds in sly hits
and witty denuociation OF the course Of the
State Legislature in taking away the principal
branches of government from officers elected
by the city, but it contains, nevertheless,
